"Let’s go back too!"

Watching the soil bricks on the grave being refilled, Han Dong turned and walked down the mountain. On the surface, her expression was calm, but her heart was in turmoil.

Compared to Xiao Ran, she knew Jiang Feng better.

In her eyes, Jiang Feng was a genuine Innate Powerhouse, long beyond Postnatal; his body simply couldn’t decay in such a short time.

She had considered opening the coffin for examination.

But because Bao Longwei witnessed it with his own eyes, coupled with the Court’s honorific burial for Jiang Feng and the dangers of the Heaven-Stealing Creation Insights, Han Dong chose to believe and did not disturb Jiang Feng.

Who would have thought Jiang Feng not only didn’t die but became the suspect in the assassination of the Second Prince.

He actually became a Cultivator, someone who could sever one arm of the Six-armed Divine Emperor.

"You saved me last time."

Han Dong recalled the day on Black Iron Mountain encountering a Werewolf, at the brink of death, when a figure punched and killed the Werewolf.

Now looking back, that person should have been Jiang Feng.

Several people tacitly assumed the person in the grave was Jiang Feng.

Although many who’ve seen Jiang Feng felt the person in the portrait looked extremely similar to Jiang Feng, with Xiao Zhan personally verifying that the person in the portrait wasn’t Jiang Feng, the discussions on this matter have vanished over the past days.

Turkic Empire.

Northern Ox-Head Town.

Day and night, Jiang Feng ran north past several cities, already arriving at the Turkic border. After a brief rest in Ox-Head Town, he got up and headed toward the border.

"A little further ahead is the legendary Red Earth Forest. This forest has many legends, rumored to contain Great Demons. Since I’m on the run, it’s best not to enter if possible."

Jiang Feng flew using Wind Control, holding a map in hand.

This map was purchased from local merchants after entering Turkic. The creator of this map was an experienced Ranger who traversed Great Tang and Turkic, entered Red Earth Forest, even crossed Chishui County, and encountered the Blood Wolf Pack.

The map marked every city in Turkic, each accompanied by an explanatory paragraph about local customs. The explanation about Red Earth Forest includes the following line:

Great Demons rampage, with ancient relics of gods and demons within, common people entering face near certain death.

Regardless of whether the creator exaggerated, as the saying goes, ignoring the advice of elders only brings immediate loss, whether the creator intended to scare people or not, Jiang Feng decided to avoid crossing Red Earth Forest.

"Going east can bypass Red Earth Forest. To the east is the Fire God Sect? What kind of sect is this? Never heard of it before, no matter. Since Red Earth Forest isn’t safe, let’s bypass it first."

Crossing the border, Jiang Feng soon saw Red Earth Forest. From outside, it looked no different than other forests, contrary to being picturesque, like a piece of paradise fallen into the sea.

It’s irresistible making one want to delve into its mysteries.

This illusion only heightened Jiang Feng’s vigilance. He dared not enter, not even the outskirts, instead immediately using Wind Control, speeding eastward.

Thus sporadically, Jiang Feng flew for ten days, finally bypassing Red Earth Forest, arriving at the territory of the Fire God Sect.

Here is no longer within Turkic territory.

The imagined desolate and uninhabited scene did not appear; instead, as the distance from Red Earth Forest increased, Jiang Feng seemed to return to Great Tang.

He arrived at a city gate hanging an emblem like a flame-burning eye.

Fire God City.

This place was very free.

Entering and exiting required no clearance documents.

Upon arriving, Jiang Feng didn’t extend his Spiritual Sense too broad, quickly scanning outside the city, finding most entering Fire God City were ordinary civilians.

Postnatal Martial Artists were still relatively rare among the crowd.

With his strength, residing in Fire God City should pose no threat.

Once inside, Jiang Feng saw those patrolling were disciples of the Fire God Sect, which seemed like Great Tang’s Li Family, they controlled everything in Great Tang.

Even the least were Entry Grade Martial Artists, holding very high status within the city. They’ve set many rules that both visitors and long-term residents silently obey.

Jiang Feng didn’t intend to disrupt the order here.

He pondered whether hiding in Fire God City could evade the pursuit of the Great Tang Royal Family and Divine Sect.

He knew nothing about the Fire God Sect; only after entering northern Turkic did he bought a large map from a merchant, spotting Fire God Sect marked on it.

According to the map:

Fire God City isn’t on the Turkic border.

Situated west, near Red Earth Forest, surrounded by several small nations in other directions, only through the southern small nations can one enter Turkic territory.

Jiang Feng flew from northern Turkic, outside Red Earth Forest, traveling toward the Fire God Sect from the north to the east, laboriously nearing Fire God City.

"I hope there’s a place for me to shelter here."

Jiang Feng murmured.

Everything in Fire God City, somewhat akin to Great Tang’s local customs, compared to Turkic’s rugged and sturdy faces, everything here seemed like one of Great Tang’s small border towns.

Hard to imagine Jiang Feng previously unaware a vibrant small city was hidden beyond Turkic.

Jiang Feng first stayed at an inn.

Whether he could hide in Fire God City and evade the Great Tang Royal Family and Divine Sect’s search, Jiang Feng needed to learn some Fire God Sect history, ideally grasp its power dynamics.
