The Tianhe Sect's blockade was far more exaggerated than Li Qing had anticipated. Over the past few days, he had not even dared to take to the air, because that would have been far too conspicuous and made him easy to spot.
Yet no matter how careful Li Qing was, he still faced one problem: how was he supposed to go to Mu Kingdom?
Beyond Little Cui Ridge lay the southern part of Feng Kingdom. Further south stretched a flat, open wilderness, and this place had been sealed off tightly by Tianhe Sect disciples. Trying to pass through without being noticed was practically impossible.
Li Qing had run into Tianhe Sect patrol squads several times. If not for his spiritual sense far beyond the Qi Refining stage, along with that Jade Ruyi that could help conceal his aura, he would likely have been discovered long ago.
