Soon enough, reaching the top of Mount Emei was just a matter of time for the group, considering their extraordinary pace of movement. The stunning sight that was laid in front of them was too good to be true.
Perhaps it was because heavy fog completely concealed most of the surrounding terrain. They felt like standing at the peak of the earth, with just the normal sky above them and clouds beneath them.
There was a moisture in the air and a cool breeze carrying the sweet scent of forest and wildflowers. However, despite their combat experience and stamina, the journey was long and exhausting.
The group made a brief stop, their breath normal but deeper than normal owing to the exertion and enjoyment of the view.
Lin Xue looked out at the horizon, her face relaxing as she whispered, "This place is beautiful." Her voice showed both wonder and tiredness.
"Enjoy it later," Ming Lei said quickly, his voice harsh. "We're not here to look around."
