Hao Xuan followed along the exact path he had walked the last time to pass through the illusion array that was created by the World Spirit and reached the remains of the house that led to the underground tunnel system.
He paused momentarily to inspect the ground. His eyes lit up as Hao Xuan sniffed the air.
"They tried to hide it but too many people have passed through here, I can smell their anxiety and fear. If the illusion array wasn't keeping this place hidden they would have been dead by now from the demon hordes," he mumbled under his breath but a voice responded from the shadows ahead.
"You can smell their fear?"
"!!!"
"Who's there?!"
Hao Xuan jumped back out of instinct before recognizing the speaker. And then like a warm ray of sunshine that familiar figure walked out with a smile.
"You're late to the party," Jin Wang jokingly replied.
