After emerging from seclusion three days earlier, Li Yan had spoken at length with Qianji. Afterward, he had not only helped him sort through the potential problems within his clan, but had also helped reinforce the secret realm's defenses once more.
This secret realm had originally been Xiu Han's private treasure ground. Its defenses had been painstakingly built up over time by a demon cultivator of the Body Integration Realm for his own safety, and were already formidable.
Within this secret realm was an escape teleportation array Xiu Han had left long ago. Li Yan had inspected it personally; it could transport them millions of li away, deep beneath a wilderness teeming with wild beasts.
That region was even more barren than the land outside this secret realm. Its spiritual energy was so thin that even low-tier demon beasts were unwilling to stay there, making it a paradise instead for wild beasts that had yet to develop intelligence. There were more than two hundred species of beasts, large and small.
As those beasts roamed everywhere throughout the day, all manner of jumbled tracks covered the wilderness, providing excellent cover for any traces cultivators left behind.
This showed that Xiu Han had carefully selected and prepared that place as his final escape destination. In the end, the Snow Mosquito clan had reaped the benefits.

Not only would this leave the enemy nothing to gain, it would also form Qianji's final and strongest shield, buying him a chance to escape with his life.
