Xu Feng continued asking, his face expressionless, "What happened after that?"
"Then they retreated into the Uninhabited Zone. We didn't pursue them."
Hai Yuan said.
"The sect master didn't want to lose men in the Uninhabited Zone. That place is too dangerous. Even Domain Gods don't dare venture deep inside.

"So we only swept through a few towns on its outskirts, arrested some believers, and burned their gathering places before withdrawing.
"But while pursuing them, we captured a believer from the Bird Race. He's currently being held in Azure Fall City, one of the cities under the sect's control on its outskirts."
"If you want to rescue him, I can help you. My condition is simple: let me go afterward, and neither of us will owe the other anything."
Hai Yuan swallowed and looked at Xu Feng.
"Azure Fall City's prison is heavily guarded. Its city lord is a third-stage Domain God. Without someone to guide you, you won't be able to rescue him."
Xu Feng could almost see the desperate desire to survive in Hai Yuan's eyes, but he deliberately avoided mentioning it and simply remained silent.
If Hai Yuan was telling the truth, then the Sun Church had retreated into the Uninhabited Zone after being pursued by the sword sect two years ago. They might still be alive.
Even though that was a place where not even Domain Gods dared venture deep.
And Tuhe had been injured, Xiao Dan was only a Star God, and Ah Kun was merely a Moon God.
But Tuhe had survived years of pursuit by Star Guard Hall and possessed exceptional survival skills and experience.
With Tata-ba helping Xiao Dan as well, perhaps they really could survive in that Uninhabited Zone.
He took a deep breath, suppressing the agitation in his chest.
