After replenishing their supplies in the town, everyone returned to the caravan.

"Get ready, everyone. We're about to set out again. The road ahead will be even more treacherous, so stay alert."

Nangong Yuan looked at the rested group and spoke loudly.

Li Yunjing and the others nodded, climbed into the carriages, and mounted their "Blazing Fire Horses."

At Nangong Yuan's command, the caravan slowly left the oasis town and once again entered the vast desert.

The wheels rumbled over the ground, kicking up clouds of sand.

Some cultivators from the town watched the caravan disappear into the distance, deep in thought...

"Once we cross this desert, we'll enter Heaven Province. It's even more dangerous there—a region jointly controlled by several demonic sects."

On the road, Nangong Yuan explained the situation ahead to Li Yunjing and Fu Chao.

The Nether Ghost Sect's territory was just like that of the Divine Firmament Dao Sect: both were colossal sects that controlled countless other sects and lineages.

Heaven Province was a lawless place. The sects there had poor relations with the Nangong Family, so once they reached the region, the caravan became even more discreet. They didn't even dare use the main road, and could only travel along remote trails to avoid their enemies.

The group chatted as they traveled. Three days later, they crossed the desert and entered a forested region.

Once they arrived, they encountered new trouble.

An eerie mist hung over the forest, and the roars of demonic beasts rang out from time to time.

"Everyone, be careful. There may be danger lurking in this mist. Stay with the group and don't get separated."

Nangong Yuan took out a compass and watched its needle turn closely. "Once we cross this mountain, we'll reach the territory of our Nangong Family.
