Ke Xialing sensed something unusual too. After exchanging a glance, the two decided to lead everyone out of the forest as quickly as possible.
Li Dalong went to the front to relieve the male disciple. Extending his divine sense, he cleared the way ahead and led everyone onward at greater speed.
They remained on high alert the entire way, but that strange feeling never went away.
After racing on without a moment's pause for half a day, they finally emerged from the forest.
When they reached the forest's edge, they saw shimmering water ahead, and a vast lake spread out before their eyes.
He had never expected such a large lake in the middle of the Red Cloud Mountain Range. The map he had bought from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion did not mark any lake either.
For a moment, he froze and stood motionless. When Ke Xialing and the Cloud Glow Sect disciples saw him suddenly stop, they thought he had encountered a formidable enemy.
They immediately grew tense, all tightening their grips on their weapons and going on guard.
After coming back to his senses, Li Dalong waved to them, signaling that they need not be nervous, then led the way out of the forest.
The instant he stepped out of the forest, that strange feeling vanished without a trace.
This immediate effect, like the mysterious lake before him, made Li Dalong somewhat worried.
Ke Xialing and the others were also stunned by the lake before them.
They had never known there was a lake in the Red Cloud Mountain Range either, and the sect's library had no record of one.
Nor had they ever heard anyone mention it.
Watching Li Dalong stare silently at the lake, they stood behind him at a loss, none of them speaking.
