Chapter 398 - 277: The Gap Between Worlds
Li Yi was leading the way at the moment, with Fan Zhizhou closely following behind. The two men moved swiftly, shuttling through the danger zone, leaving this place as quickly as possible.
Fortunately, as a Qi Cultivation Martial Artist of the Refining Realm, Fan Zhizhou had his own strength. Though he couldn’t quite keep up with Li Yi’s pace, he wasn’t dragging him down either. Moreover, he had some self-defensive capabilities. Li Yi didn’t have to babysit him and could leave him in Tianchang City with peace of mind.
"Mr. Li, why do we avoid a straight path when leaving this area, instead weaving around?" Fan Zhizhou asked, after following for a while, the question of doubt in his mind.
Li Yi glanced at him, his eyes especially conspicuous in the night: "Because the eyes of the Martial Artists from the Four Seas and Eight Continents have not evolved and can see very little. To your eyes, the path ahead seems safe, but through my eyes, it is fraught with extreme danger. The route I’m taking is one we’ve scouted out. Remember it well, as you’ll need to follow it whenever you enter or exit the danger zone."
"I see, now I understand. Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Li," Fan Zhizhou quickly grasped the concept, thus realizing why Li Yi’s eyes were different from the others.
So, the light from Li Yi’s eyes was not just for show, but allowed him to see things normally invisible.
The two advanced some distance further.
Suddenly, Li Yi had a premonition and abruptly stopped in his tracks.
Fan Zhizhou, slightly surprised, hurriedly halted as well.
"We’ve been spotted. We can’t keep going, or we’ll be ambushed," Li Yi frowned and said this somewhat mysteriously.
"What’s got us in its sights? Everything around seems normal... No, that’s not right, it’s too quiet here, somewhat peculiar," Fan Zhizhou looked around. He saw nothing, perceived nothing, and couldn’t even sense any danger.
