The Four Sourceflows had always been at one another's throats. No one knew how many blood debts lay between them.
Even now, while they were all searching for the Fifth Source Stream, violent clashes broke out from time to time.
The atmosphere between the two was hostile, but Li Qing perfectly imitated the way powerful figures from different Sourceflows behaved when they met, drawing on the Demon Intelligence Spirit's memories.
The other party never suspected that the fused Li Qing was an impostor.

They faced off for a short while before slowly backing away. Clearly, both sides exercised some restraint.

"We're one day's journey from the edge of their influence."
"One more day, and we'll be beyond the reach of the Four Sourceflows' power."
"Freedom is right before us.
