One month later…
There was a swamp that stretched far into the distance. In fact, it extended as far as the eye could see. The surrounding area was a puddle of muddy water. Thick white bones and skeletons could be seen everywhere in this dirty water… as if there should've been some beasts around. A whiff of the pungent odor was also lingering in the air.
A large expanse of greenness could also be seen around apart from the muddy water. But, a greater part of them were moss and other marshy plants.
However, this vast-stretched greenness wasn't the surface of the land. In fact, a person would fall into a deathtrap and get swallowed by the swamp if he walked on it in a careless manner. And then, he would eventually become a skeleton like others.
A mass of white Qi clouds flew over from afar under the dusky sky. It was approaching in an unhurried manner.
A person's dark silhouette stood on that Qi cloud.
This person was Shi Mu.
