Since you've already said so, Qiu Jiayu can only keep quiet, letting you hold her and run swiftly across the black earth. It's unknown how long you've been running, but when you no longer sense the presence of the Undead, you discover a long river not far ahead. Where there's a river, there are people—that's an eternal truth. When you reach the riverbank, you find a wooden house. An old man is sitting in front of the house, looking at you and Qiu Jiayu with a peaceful expression.
"Old man, where is this place?" you ask the old man with a smile.
"This is the River Zimu, young man. You aren't planning to cross it, are you?"
"Do you know where His Highness, the Ghost King's palace is?" You don't intend to hide anything, nor is there a need to.
"You're going to the Ghost King's palace? What are you doing there?" The old man shows a somewhat unfriendly expression.
