Gu Qinghe flew on his sword, following wherever the woman led. She introduced herself as Xiao Wu, one of the disciples of the Feng Ye Sect.
The sect specialized in the wood element, giving them an advantage in healing, detoxifying poisons, and maintaining high flexibility.
Gu Qinghe had never heard of this sect before. He assumed that the Feng Ye Sect was not a major sect whose influence needed to be taken seriously by others.
Their sect was not located in the mountains, but within a forest near a village, far from Hongsu City.
Gu Qinghe narrowed his eyes, occasionally spotting cultivators in leaf-green robes flying in and out of the forest.
Xiao Wu flew low between the trees, and Gu Qinghe followed. Ahead of them, the sect gate came into view, with two cultivators standing guard.
Xiao Wu slowed to a stop as the two gate guards approached and blocked their path.
"Junior Xiao, who is this with you?" one of the guards asked, glancing at Gu Qinghe.
