Fang Yun rode Walking the Blue Clouds at an extremely low altitude, skimming the branches to avoid being spotted.
Fang Yun planned to disguise himself afterward as a man from Qi City, deep in the rear. It was far removed from the frontline cities, and many of its people had no experience fighting the Demon Race, so he would not arouse suspicion.
Generally speaking, city lords in the rear did not get along well with those on the front lines, because the lords of rear-area cities were often Grand Academicians who had lost the contests for control of frontline cities.
As he flew, Fang Yun considered every angle to avoid making any mistakes.
Before long, Fang Yun spotted a city in the distance, standing amid red clouds and pale red mist. A towering temple stood at its center. Though he had never seen it before, he guessed it was the Temple of Sages of the Bloodmang Ancient Land.
At the Temples of Sages on the Saint Origin Continent, officials from the various nations and cities had only the right to use Literary Qi, not absolute control. True authority belonged to the Sacred Academy, and this was the fundamental reason it stood above the Ten Kingdoms.
In the Bloodmang Ancient Land, the cities formed a loose alliance. Their Temples of Sages could communicate with one another, but each temple was relatively independent.
