Chương 1417: Yami

Baba Jezda walked up to the portal but paused to gesture for Hao Xuan to go in first.

"You can't remain here for much longer, go first."

Hao Xuan wiped the sweat from his brow and wordlessly walked through the portal, stepping out into the dark forest where her hut was supposed to be.

Moments later the others followed after him but Baba Jezda's brow immediately furrowed even though there was nothing out of the ordinary in sight.

She turned towards the frowning elder and ordered in a low voice, "Taisi, check if there are any others."

"Yes, my lady," he gave a quick bow and walked straight into a tree, completely disappearing within.

She turned to the other elder with the walking stick, "Illya, guard the exit in case we need to retreat."

He nodded with some effort, "Yes...senior sister."

It was strange to see a much older man calling Baba Jezda older sister when he could easily be mistaken for her father but Hao Xuan had more concerning things at hand.
