After the three went over a mountain, they discovered a small village on the other side. Moreover, this village was very remote. The size of the village was similar to the village they came from.
Zhao Hai didn't enter the village, instead, he stopped outside the village and carefully observed the village. Ma Long and Liu Cai were confused as they followed behind Zhao Hai. Although they didn't understand why Zhao Hai was paying attention to the village, they didn't ask. When Zhao Hai suddenly went up the mountain, they felt that Zhao Hai's actions were unfathomable.
After observing the village for a while, Zhao Hai said, "Let's go. Don't enter the village. Don't be discovered by the villagers." Then he turned around and left the village.
Ma Long and Liu Cai didn't say anything as they followed Zhao Hai into the mountain. After some time, Ma Long couldn't help but ask, "Junior Brother Zhao, why didn't we enter the village? Moreover, there's a road outside the village. If we use that road, we would've been faster."
Zhao Hai replied, "We can't take that risk. Didn't you see it? That village is very similar to our stronghold in terms of both size and location. I suspect that it might be a stronghold of that sect, or even one of our sect's strongholds. In any case, we are now deep in the mountains. This place is too remote. If a few cultivators suddenly appear, it would be too eye-catching. Therefore, we don't want to come into contact with such a small village. "
Ma Long and Liu Cai nodded and didn't say anything. They were very clear that they weren't in the underground world. Although there were dangers in the underground world, it wasn't like in the True Spiritual Realm. In the True Spiritual Realm, once their identities were exposed, then they would be hunted down by the entire True Spiritual Realm. Therefore, although Zhao Hai was very careful, even a bit too careful, the two didn't feel disgusted. This was because they knew that if they weren't careful, then they might lose their lives.
The three rushed through the mountain. After walking for more than two hours, Zhao Hai stopped. This was because they had reached the end of the mountain. At the foot of the mountain, there was a road that seemed to cut off the entire mountain.
This road was very long, they couldn't see the end of it. Most importantly, this road was very wide, about 20 meters wide. Moreover, this road was paved with stone. Upon seeing this, Zhao Hai's eyes couldn't help but light up. Then he said, "Let's go down and walk along this road. If we see a place to rest, then we'll stop and rest."
Naturally, Ma Long and Liu Cai didn't object. The three looked around and saw that there was no one around. Then they jumped down from the mountain. Zhao Hai stood on the road and looked around. Then he walked to the left.
The three didn't have any beasts to ride, so they could only walk. Even Cultivators wouldn't use spiritual qi to move forward. This was a waste of spiritual qi. Whether it was the Rogue Cultivators of the True Spiritual Realm or the underground world, they had tempered themselves through countless life and death situations. They knew that if they wasted their spiritual qi, then it would be no different than courting death. This was because whether it was the True Spiritual Realm or the underground world, Rogue Cultivators were a group of people who could encounter danger at any time.
Some Rogue Cultivators liked to rob other Rogue Cultivators. Although robbing the disciples of Great Sects would give them more benefits, very few Rogue Cultivators dared to do so. First, they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to beat the disciples of Great Sects. Second, they were afraid that the Great Sects would retaliate.
At this time, Zhao Hai and the others had completely regarded themselves as Rogue Cultivators. Moreover, their identities in the Battle Corpse Sect were indeed Rogue Cultivators. Therefore, they weren't unfamiliar with this situation. Naturally, they knew what to do in this situation.
After the three walked for about half an hour, a cloud of dust suddenly appeared in the distance. Zhao Hai looked at the cloud of dust and said, "It should be a caravan. Moreover, there should be a lot of people, about 8 to 10 carriages. Looking at the scale, it should be protected by Cultivators. Let's not provoke them. If they ask, just say that we're Cultivators from other places who came here to make a living."
Ma Long and Liu Cai nodded. The three of them didn't stop. They continued to move forward step by step, looking very calm. Before long, Zhao saw a group of people in the distance. In the middle of this group, there were several carriages that were being protected.
After a while, a loud noise was heard. Zhao Hai led Ma Long and Liu Cai to the side of the road. However, they didn't stop and continued to move forward.
Before long, the distance between the two sides was less than five li. The opposite caravan stopped. Then five riders flew out from the caravan and went straight towards Zhao Hai's group. The three of them immediately became vigilant. Don't think that the other party wouldn't harm them just because they were a caravan. If they weren't vigilant, then the other party wouldn't mind killing them. This was because some of the caravan's guards were rogue cultivators. Killing people for their belongings was something that those gangs would do.
Zhao Hai and the others also stopped. They looked at the five riders with vigilance. It didn't take long before the five riders arrived 100 meters away from Zhao Hai and the others.
Upon seeing these five people, Zhao Hai's eyes couldn't help but shrink. This was because these five people were riding Wind Chasing Horses. They were gentle beasts that could run very fast. The price of these beasts wasn't cheap. Rogue Cultivators wouldn't be able to afford them.
When the five people saw Zhao Hai and the others, they saw that Zhao Hai and the others were wearing grey cultivator robes. Moreover, their faces were covered with dust. They knew that these three were Rogue Cultivators who were on their way. The five people's dignified expressions slowly returned to normal.
One of the five people cupped his fist to Zhao Hai and the others and said, "Greetings, I apologize. Because our caravan was passing by, we had to check it out. Please forgive us for disturbing your journey."
Zhao Hai also cupped his fist and said, "It's fine. If there's nothing else, then we'll be on our way."
One of the five people cupped his fist to Zhao Hai and said, "Please." Zhao Hai also cupped his fist. Then the three people walked forward and before long, they passed by the caravan.
When the caravan passed by, they looked at the three people vigilantly. It seems like they were afraid that the three people would attack the caravan at any time.
It wasn't until the three people were far away that the caravan moved forward. However, they were even more careful than before. It seems like they were afraid of encountering an enemy.
Zhao Hai and the others walked forward. After making sure that the caravan couldn't hear them, Malone opened his mouth and said, "The True Spirit Realm's caravan is too cautious. We only have three people, but they're still acting as if they're facing a great enemy. Isn't this a bit too much?"
Liu Cai nodded and said, "Right, isn't this too much of a compliment? Is the True Spirit Realm really that chaotic? Can people come out and rob us at any time? "
Zhao Hai replied, "Don't talk nonsense. The reason why they're acting like this isn't because the True Spirit Realm is chaotic. It's just that the goods they're transporting this time are very important. It's possible that there's something very precious inside. Therefore, they're acting like this. Alright, let's not worry about them. Let's go." The two nodded and followed Zhao Hai on their journey.
After walking for an entire morning, the three of them finally saw the outline of a city in the distance. However, they were still at least a few dozen kilometers away from the city. If they wanted to reach the city with their normal speed, then it would be dark by the time they arrived.
The three looked at each other. Then Zhao Hai said, "We're not far from the city. It should be safe here. Let's speed up. We must reach the city in the shortest time possible."
Ma Long and Liu Cai nodded. The three immediately circulated their spiritual Qi and leaped forward. Once they used their lightness technique, their speed immediately increased. In less than an hour, the three were already two li away from the city. However, the three stopped. This was because they were very clear that a city like this was controlled by a gang. If they casually used their lightness technique to enter the city, then it was very likely that the other party would think that they were hostile towards them. If that was the case, then they might receive a counterattack from the gang.
Zhao Hai and the others let out a long breath. Then Zhao Hai turned his head to the two and said, "Let's enter the city first and find a place to stay. Then we'll slowly inquire about the city and see if it has anything to do with the Unyielding Sect." The two nodded. Then the three slowly walked towards the city.
Before long, the three of them arrived outside the city. The city walls were very high, about 150 feet high. On top of the city walls, there were five gates, one big and four small. Above the largest gate, there were two words written on it: Li River. Li River. Li River. Li River. Li River.
Li River City. Zhao Hai looked at the jade slip that Wei Tiande gave him. The jade slip had a simple map. On it was the situation of the Unyielding Sect's territory. And this Li River City was one of the cities in the Unyielding Sect's territory.
Li River City wasn't a big city under the Unyielding Sect's control. It could only be considered a medium-sized city. The city had a population of about 500,000 people. There was also a branch of the Unyielding Sect here. This was the introduction of Li River City in the jade slip. As for the rest, there was nothing else.
Zhao Hai stood outside the city gate and looked at it. Then he led the two into the city. After entering the city, the three immediately found a small hotel and booked three rooms. After paying for the rooms, they went inside.
After settling down in the hotel, Zhao Hai and the others came out of the room. Ma Long and Liu Cai looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Junior Brother Zhao, what should we do next?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "We don't need to do anything. Let's go eat. Let's go to the best restaurant and see if we can hear anything."
Ma Long and Liu Cai stared. But the two immediately responded. They were also Rogue Cultivators. Naturally, they knew that restaurants were the best places to get information. If they eat in a restaurant, then they might be able to hear some things about Li River City. This would allow them to understand more about the city.
