West Desolate Mountain.

The steep mountain slopes were covered by dense forests, layers of lush greenery extending endlessly, with branches and leaves interwoven tightly, forming a natural canopy.

At the foot of the mountain, the atmosphere was somewhat noisy, with more than a dozen hunters, dressed in animal skins and having dark, shiny skin, gathered together in conversation.

"Old Wang, did you go up the mountain yesterday?"

"Go up my ass, in the past few days, five people in our village have died!"

"Do you know the Li’s at the east end of the village? He’s been hunting for over thirty years and knows the West Desolate Mountain like the back of his hand. He wouldn’t trip even with his eyes closed, but ended up getting lost and wandered around the mountain for two days before his stiff body was found..."

"Every night on the mountain, there’s a mysterious light flashing, accompanied by eerie howls. It’s creepy and unidentifiable..."

"I heard a beast has become demonized there..."

The West Desolate Mountain was home to various beasts and birds, countless wild boars, deer, and pheasants, with occasional appearances of alien beasts. Many hunters in the nearby villages made a living out of this.

If they were lucky enough to hunt an alien beast, just its flesh and blood could be sold for dozens of taels, enough to cover a whole family’s expenses for a year.

However, life had not been easy for them lately.

Previously, due to the Red Sand Mine incident, the entire mountain had been locked down by the court for over two months. Just as it was unsealed, this situation arose, and it looked like they wouldn’t harvest anything in the first half of the year.

The hunters sighed, looking visibly gloom-ridden.

Da-da-da—

At this moment, rapid hoofbeats were heard.

Everyone turned to see a woman in a black martial robe riding swiftly towards them.

With features like exquisite jade, ruby lips, and white teeth, she looked as if she had stepped out of a painting, yet there was a hint of evil qi in her eyebrows, and her gaze was sharp as a knife, making it intimidating to meet her gaze.

The woman arrived at the foot of the mountain, dismounted, and tied the reins to a tree.

She then took a long sword from the sheath on the back of the saddle, slung it over her shoulder, and started walking up the mountain.

"Miss, it’s dangerous on the mountain..."

A hunter was about to warn her, but someone else stopped him, whispering, "Haven’t you seen that dark patterned garb? That’s an esteemed official of the Sky Scale Guard! No need for your comments!"

"Is she here because of the disaster on the mountain?"

"She came quite quickly, but how come it’s just one person, and a young woman at that? Can she manage..."

While the crowd was engaged in discussion, a figure in a moon white daoist robe appeared in mid-air, descending gracefully like a bright moon falling to the world of men.

Ling Ningzhi, with her flawless face, carried an air of dust-covered travel, gazing at the vast mountain range before her, her black and white eyes full of resignation.
