Chapter 119 - 118 Huan River
After leaving White Deer Peak, Tie Dan carried Zhen Baiyu and flew northward, then dived into the bottom of Huan River, stealthily swimming away to escape.
Previously, while cultivating by the Gen River, he secretly planned to, upon completing his task, use the Ice River Escape technique to speed southeast along the Gen River, getting as far away as possible.
But plans couldn’t keep up with changes; bringing an extra person significantly increased the consumption of energy. He feared that within two days, his True Qi would be exhausted. If they were caught or encountered unforeseen circumstances, they wouldn’t have the power to resist and could only surrender.
So, Tie Dan decisively changed his plan, turned north, swam along the Huan River, then veered northeast into the territory of Kan Country.
The north was a place of fierce warfare and impending doom, full of deadly peril. Perhaps the Xuanji Monster, fearing calamity, even if able to track them, would not pursue them into the north, getting entangled in other deadly encounters.
Furthermore, Tie Dan, familiar with the northern terrain, thought it better to detour through Shuofang, cross over Yin Mountain, and circle back to Cloud Platform Peak through Kan Country.
Zhen Baiyu expressed indifference, having no home to return to in the vast world. As long as she could stay by Tie Dan’s side, she was content.
"Brother Tie, the antler soup is ready, have a taste."
"You made it?"
After three days of flight without seeing Xuanji Monster in pursuit, and after three consecutive Holy Grail divinations confirming safety, Tie Dan surfaced from the river to take a short break in an abandoned fishing village.
