These ces don’t seem to be on Dracodom’s map.”


    Four dayster, they found themselves flying above a forest. They had entered unfamiliar


    territory.


    Sofia smiled and exined, “The spiritual energy in this forest is remarkably dense. It might even


    be several dozen times richer than in some of Dracodom’s cities. I would think that this ce


    harbors some very strong monsters, or perhaps some secluded ns. Some secluded sects would


    prefer to train nearby as well.”

    Diane


    was


    concerned that Severin might experience fatigue, so she suggested, “You’ve been flying


    the sword for quite some time now. Would you like to take a break before we continue our journey?


    Severin scanned the surroundings and pointed to a nearby mountain peak. “Let’s rest there for an


    hour or so before we continue.”


    Following their brief rest on the mountain peak, they noticed a group of people approaching them


    just as they were prepared to depart.


    “Their attire suggests to me that these people are disciples from a sect,” Rachel surmised.


    After mulling over the situation, Severin advised, “Since we have no clue as to which sect they


    belong to, it would be best if we did not hurry to leave. Let’s continue our journey once they’ve


    moved further away.”


    “Why not?” She asked in confoundment. Severin had already told everyone to prepare


    themselves and continue the journey, so she could not wrap her head around why he would


    change his mind so suddenly.


    Severin smiled wryly and exined, “My flying sword is a ninth–grade spiritual weapon. Those


    people might target us if they see it and realize its true value.”


    She understood right away/“Oh yeah, I almost forgot about that. But there shouldn’t be


    anything to fear if they’re disciples of a sect like the Stormy Moon Sect. After all, neither their


    sect leader nor their elders can hold their own against you.”


    Severin said with a smile, “That’s true, but we don’t know which sect these people are from. Who’s


    to say they don’t have formidable individuals within their ranks? What if they’re from a third–tier


    but their flying speed is rather decent. I have reason to suspect that their attainment level is higher than


    most.”


    Diane understood the need for caution and concurred. “You’re right. Better to be safe than sorry.”


    When the approaching group was about a hundred or so meters away, a mustached man looked. over


    and said to one of the middle–aged men, “There’s a group of people over on that mountain peak!”


    The middle–aged man beside him nced in that direction and used his mental power to observe


    Severin’s group.


    “How rude of them to scan us with their mental power!” Elsa remarked with a hint of irritation. Using


    mental power to sound out another party was considered impolite in many situations.
