Kai, Fu Huang, and Fong Lin rode their mounts while having idle conversations. Kai and Fu Huang occasionally took detours by seemingly random locations to collect herbs and resources. The herbs they collected were not particularly rare in this region, so the task did not take up too much time as the group continued progressing.
The sun began to set as the trio approached the Northern mountains, located a few dozen kilometers adjacent to Fu Huang's Blue Mountain Sect.
Although the region was called the Northern mountains, it was essentially just one massive mountain surrounded by a few hills. At the base of the mountain, Kai spotted a large bustling village.
