This was a valley.
The bushes rustled tremulously as a fox with snow-white fur sprang out nimbly, stopping on the bare rocks in front of the cliff, casting a spirited glance behind it as if with a hint of urgency.
"The footprints end over here."
"With the messenger's guidance, we have almost come straight here, taking us a whole day."
Low conversations murmured.
With Xia Yu and Jin Tien Shun braving the elements and sheltering in the open, they tried to tread lightly as they felt their way to the edge of the cliff, peering out. Directly in front of them was a deep valley with at least several hundred meters of drop, entwined with the hazy mist of clouds. If one were to focus a drone camera on their footing, the vastness and splendor of the valley would be revealed, with Xia Yu and Jin Tien Shun concealed within the dense jungle, barely noticeable.
Opposite them, a silver waterfall cascaded down from above with a thunderous roar of water that was deafening.
