Chapter 233: Heading To Caldera Edge Town
Han Yu threw on the plain inner robe, then layered the Mist Eye Sect’s uniform over it. His face was already wrapped, and his aura suppressed to the point of seeming like a Low-Stage Qi Refining cultivator at best. As long as no one scrutinized him too deeply, he’d pass for another grumbling lackey on a long walk.
He had read the logistical documents and personnel appointments which stated that other than the disciples assigned to the outposts, there were some that would patrol the area as well as a few that could independently wander the area to hunt for beasts or gather herbs as they pleased.
After all, this was officially in the territory of the Mist Eye Sect, so there was no problem in the sect’s disciples to do whatever they wished here. This also granted Han Yu quite a bit of freedom.
’I also have the three identity tokens of the disciples I killed. While I won’t be able to activate them, as long as no one checks deeply, just showing them would prove my identity for the most part.’ Han Yu hoped.
With the satchel on his back and glaive wrapped in cloth, Han Yu stepped out of the cave and began his descent into the craggy southern slope.
The road to Caldera Edge Town awaited. And with it, hopefully, the pieces of a puzzle far more ancient and dangerous than anyone had guessed.
He just had to survive long enough to put it together. But he had no idea his journey was going to be much harder than he thought.
The journey to Caldera Edge Town was far longer and more arduous than Han Yu had first imagined.
What should have been a twenty-five-kilometer trek turned into a brutal three-day ordeal across winding paths, hidden gullies, and treacherous cliffside ledges. The shortest route—so promising on the map—was immediately ruled out when he reached the first overlook.
