Chapter 1112: Yunmen Clan
A few days later....
The western region really is different from the south.
A thoughtful look could be seen on Xu Qing’s face as he flew along in the sky. He had spent the past few days looking for a good place to hole up and recover. Along the way, he had encountered two cultivators who had activated their permission medallions.
The first had been more than 4,500,000 kilometers away, to the point where Xu Qing almost failed to notice the person. It had been easy to avoid them.
On the second occasion, the other person noticed him at almost the same time that he noticed them. For their medallion to have such a range indicated that they had to be a powerful expert. Even as Xu Qing’s guard went up, the other person chose to avoid him. That was not how things had gone in the south. It was as if... people in the west preferred to avoid trouble, or at least, avoid causing trouble to the best of their ability.
Another week passed, and the same thing happened again. In the end, he felt like his theory had been confirmed.
The west... is a lot weaker than the south. Everybody prefers to avoid pointless conflicts. That doesn’t mean that people here can’t unleash slaughter, though.
Up ahead of him was a ring-shaped barrier of glittering light, the results of a defensive spell formation. A group of cultivators sat there cross-legged inside the formation.
Xu Qing wasn’t the only person in the vicinity. There were a few dozen standing around, staggered at random distances. Some were in the same situation as Xu Qing. They had been trying to pass through, but their path had been obstructed by the spell formation. Others had previously been inside the formation, but had since been ejected. There was a lot of talk in the area.
“The Yunmen Clan and the Diling Dynasty are on the verge of starting a war of extermination against each other.”[1]
“Both clans have become extremely powerful lately. And they both occupy the Spiritdust Mountains. It’s to be expected for things like this to happen.”
