"Sir, do we really need to be this cautious?"
Yang Zhen also felt that Qin Shaofeng was making too much of a fuss and could not help asking.
"Once we run into trouble, you'll naturally understand. Since those dozen or so people were able to reach this place, they clearly aren't simple characters. If they start suspecting something, it will become a huge problem."
Only after Qin Shaofeng gave this careful reminder did Yang Zhen and Luo Ying take up positions to guard him and Ximen Bingning on either side.
Han Xingyun and Hao Liang led the way.
Fortunately, they had already encountered far too many dangers along the way.
Even Zhou Qing, whose cultivation was insufficient, had adapted by now. With his First-tier Heavenly Venerate cultivation, he could even accomplish more than Yang Zhen had when he was at the Fourth-tier Heavenly Venerate level.
The others were stronger than him, so naturally they did even more.
The group set off.
A distance of thirteen hundred li was nothing to the vast Tian Lian Mountain.
It could even be called right at their doorstep.
Qin Shaofeng's guess had not been wrong.
There truly were experts among those thirteen people. Even though Qin Shaofeng had had everyone take a detour—
After they crossed several great mountains, Ran Zun still reported that those people had caught up.
"They really came after us."
Yang Zhen's expression began to turn ugly.
It seemed Qin Shaofeng's earlier decision had been entirely correct.
Otherwise, even if Qin Shaofeng held a high status in the Chasing Stars Sect, his sudden disappearance for half a year would have been enough to make outsiders suspect their identities.
If things went badly and their identities were exposed, it would cause a major incident!
"Don't concern yourselves with what's behind us.
