Beware the almighty 'Seer' who wanders the Murim. He knows all and sees all. The seer can predict the future and his predictions have never before been wrong. Those who heed his advice may be given a second chance while for all the others who don't... impeding doom awaits. The seer's words are absolute. How might you recognize him you ask...? There have been rumors of this man clad in black whose eyes shine a clean crimson glare right through his hermit hat when provoked. He is also rumored to be carrying a Demonic Sword. And if the rumors are to be believed he is actually quite young. P.S.: Yes, I am aware that the title might have turned out a bit inaccurate. Forgive this junior.
At the far western borders of the Xianghu province lies a beautiful and enchanting chain of mountains, a place that, despite being connected to the Forest of Doom, has established itself as a separate landmark.
The trees and beasts of the forest stretch along the mountain ranges, but only the weaker and more docile creatures inhabit this region. Due to this odd low threat level, the Xinling Mountains have distinguished themselves from the Forest of Doom.
Ling Yue and her uncle, Fangluan, continued their journey through the dense, extended thicket of the forest toward the elevated grounds of the Xinling Mountains. Although the mountains were not entirely safe, they were filled with various beasts, bandits, and the like, posing threats that could be managed with the right resources and personnel.
As the temperature dropped with their increasing elevation, the uneven roads remained manageable enough to transport their cargo easily.
