The sun had climbed high by midday.
Atop a hill, three figures appeared in the sunlight, and under its glare, their specific features were indiscernible.
"Senior Brother, there's a town ahead, and it seems there are still people," Wang Qi said, pointing at a town below.
From their vantage point, the full scope of the town could be seen—it was much larger than any of the villages they had encountered before, a sizable town indeed.
They had been traveling without rest all night and had only now come upon this large town.
"Let's go..."
Song Yin glanced at the town ahead, leaped, and, summoning a gust of Huang Feng, descended from the high ground directly toward the town.
This town had no walls or fences, naturally no gatekeepers either; the architecture was not arranged in any hierarchical order—with both large estates and simple cottages interspersed, and shops around—but strangely...
There were no people.
