Li Piaoyu's delicate brows furrowed slightly. "Risk? Senior Brother Su, do you mean that returning to the Phantom Star Sect from here still won't be safe?"
"No way, right? This is Wuji Sect territory. Even if it has now been occupied by the Great Zhao Dynasty, Wuji Sect's territory is vast. With its remaining forces added in, they couldn't possibly have been wiped out so quickly."
"The Great Zhao Dynasty's reach can only stretch so far. In such a short time, they may not have been able to fully occupy this place, right?"
Holding a positioning compass in her hand, Li Piaoyu spoke repeatedly as she checked their direction, laying out her analysis.
Having already entered the bounds of Muyun Prefecture, she had long since become an arrow yearning to return home.
"I'm afraid... that won't do!" Before Su Shi'er could speak, Li Piaoyue, who had been deep in thought, spoke up at once.
"Won't do?" Li Piaoyu froze at her words, her gaze falling on Li Piaoyue.
"Sister Yue, do you think Wuji Sect has already been completely brought under the Great Zhao Dynasty's control? But... even so, the Great Zhao Dynasty can't possibly have so many powerful cultivators to manage this place, can it?"
"We should not have much trouble slipping quietly through Wuji Sect's territory. As long as we can return to Phantom Star Sect territory, then... it won't be too late to rest and heal our injuries."
Li Piaoyue's expression turned somewhat grave. "It isn't a problem with Wuji Sect. Do you still remember what Elder Ku Rong of Demon Shadow Palace said when his Nascent Soul fled at Tiger Roar Bay?"
Li Piaoyu's delicate body trembled, and Elder Ku Rong's departing words instantly surfaced in her mind.
