Chapter 2212: Entering Split River City
The group of three crossed the mountain and discovered that there was also a small village on the other side. Moreover, the small village was very remote. Its scale was the same as the village that they came out of.
Zhao Hai and the others didn’t enter the village but stopped just outside. He carefully scrutinized the village. Ma Long and Liu Cai were behind Zhao Hai, wondering what he was doing. Although they didn’t know what Zhao Hai was thinking, they didn’t say anything. Their action of crossing the mountain already proved that Zhao Hai’s thoughts were much deeper than them.
After observing the village for some time, Zhao Hai said, “Let’s go. We’ll avoid 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 and followed Zhao Hai. After some time, Ma Long finally couldn’t help but ask, “Junior Brother Zhao, why didn’t we enter the village? Moreover, just beyond the village is a sect. We will save time if we walk from that sect.”
Zhao Hai replied, “We cannot take the risk. Didn’t you see? From the village’s location, it’s similar to our stronghold. I suspect that it is a stronghold of another sect, it might be our sect’s stronghold. No matter what, we are in a remote area. If several cultivators suddenly appeared, it would be suspicious. Therefore, we cannot get in contact with villages like these.”
Ma Long and Liu Cai nodded. They were aware that they were no longer in the underground world. Although there were also dangers in the underground world, it was different for them in the True Spirit Realm. Once their identities are exposed, they will be under pursuit of the entire True Spirit Realm. Therefore, although Zhao Hai was being extra cautious, the two didn’t show any discomfort. They knew very well that if they weren’t careful, they would no doubt die.
The three continued walking through the mountain. After walking for two hours, Zhao Hai stopped. They were already at the end of the mountain. At the foot of the mountain was a road, as if cutting the mountain off.
The road was very long, seemingly endless. Most importantly, the road was quite wide. It was 20 meters wide and was paved with stone. Seeing this, Zhao Hai’s eyes shone. Then he said, “Let’s head down and proceed down the road. We’ll stop if we see a place to rest.”
Naturally, Ma Long and Liu Cai wouldn’t oppose this. Seeing nobody in the road, the three jumped down. Then following Zhao Hai’s direction, the group walked left.
