Xu Zimei stopped in his tracks, gazing at Ji Jiuning with a half-smile.
"The North Fox is in this village," Ji Jiuning replied.
"Did you sense it just now, or had you already noticed it when we first entered the village?" Xu Zimei asked.
"Nothing can escape the eyes of Young Master Xu," Ji Jiuning smiled faintly.
"But just now, that Seven Kill…"
"Don't ask questions you shouldn't," Xu Zimei directly interrupted her.
Ji Jiuning nodded slightly, continuing her search within the village.
Her figure moved through several streets, stepping over the corpses of whitewood trees, as green blood scattered into the air.
Eventually, she stopped in front of a grove of whitewood trees.
Thousands of whitewood trees grew here, but they were different from those in the village.
These trees lacked spiritual intelligence and had only recently sprouted, still in their nurturing phase.
Above the whitewood trees were amber-like yellow spheres, dim yet glimmering.
