Chapter 188: Meeting Chu Kuang

A few miles away from the crater's edge, moving swiftly over the black basalt terrain, were two figures.

One was Chu Hua, her body stained with dried blood from her catastrophic encounter in the quartz canyon days prior. Every few steps, a fresh tremor ran through her body, and she had to grit her teeth to keep from crying out. She walked with a noticeable limp, her face pale, completely devoid of her former haughtiness.

Walking a half-step behind her, his pristine black and white robes untouched by the dust of the battlefield, was Lin Yuan. Not a single speck of ash clung to the pale silk, as though the desolation of this land did not dare to touch him. His hands were clasped casually behind his back, his deep purple eyes scanning the desolate landscape with the mild, unhurried curiosity of a man out for an afternoon stroll.
