Upon hearing Wo Zhixing's instructions, Chen Zhou and Wo Wan both nodded. After Wo Zhixing finished explaining, he told Chen Zhou and Wo Wan that he was leaving and then left directly.
Seeing Wo Zhixing heading towards the three Wolong sects, Chen Zhou said to Wo Wan beside him, "Let's set off too. With this map, we can all choose to detour. If we have to detour, we should choose the shortest route to greatly shorten our walking time."
"Alright, let's set off now. What happened just now was an accident. Not only has my body shrunk, but I can't use my strength or true energy, so it's difficult for me to be of much help." In Wo Wan's view at this moment, of the two of them caught in the effects of this formation, only she had her strength most restricted. Chen Zhou, on the other hand, seemed to be someone who hadn't sealed his true energy, and seemed to be handling this situation with ease.
“If we encounter a similar situation again, you only need to protect yourself and don’t need to worry about me,” Chen Zhou said slowly.
Chen Zhou looked at Wo Wan, who nodded slightly. Chen Zhou then strode forward, still holding the map that Wo Zhixing had marked and returned to them. Chen Zhou had looked at this map many times, but this time it was a check that truly concerned his safety.
Chen Zhou memorized several locations on the map and began to devise a better plan.
"I wonder what this road is like. There are no ambushes on it, and it leads directly to the Northern Kingdom." Chen Zhou looked at the map and suddenly noticed a road that led directly to the Northern Kingdom, and this road was not marked at all. More importantly, this road was not particularly long, and Chen Zhou and Wo Wan would not spend too much time on it.
There are many routes from the three sects of Wolong to the Northern Kingdom, so Chen Zhou and his group have many choices. The current route is simply the most suitable one in Chen Zhou's opinion.
Upon hearing Chen Zhou's words, Wo Wan also responded, "This road won't work."
"Why?" Chen Zhou asked curiously as they walked.
“This road is reserved for the royal family of the Northern Kingdom. Only royal vehicles are allowed to travel on this road, so it is always heavily guarded by the royal family. We cannot pass through it,” Wo Wan explained.
In order to maintain communication with the three factions of Wolong and even the entire Southern Kingdom, the Northern Kingdom royal family naturally had to ensure that a road belonged to them. The road that Chen Zhou had his eye on was the transportation route chosen by the Northern Kingdom royal family.
This road is very important to them, so it is essentially closed to the outside world, and no one is allowed to enter.
"I see. The Northern Kingdom has really made very thoughtful arrangements..." Chen Zhou said softly. It seems that the Southern Kingdom does not have such a dedicated road. It seems that countries with strong national power have more perfect systems.
"So we have no choice but to take another route. In my opinion, we should just take this main road," Wo Wan said naturally. Chen Zhou pondered Wo Wan's words and they seemed to make a lot of sense.
“There are many merchants coming and going on this main road. It’s practically a major thoroughfare. Who outside the Wolong Three Sects would know that we are from them? I don’t even have a dragon mark, and your ability to conceal yourself is so strong. You can easily slip away. Even the major powers wouldn’t easily arrest people on this main road, would they?” Wo Wan continued her analysis.
Having grown up in the Northern Kingdom, Wo Wan was well aware of the nature of those Northern powers, and thus decided to do the opposite.
“Okay, I’ll do as you say. Let’s go this way then.” Chen Zhou nodded and said.
So the two of them quickly walked towards the exit of the Three Wolong Sects. At this time, both of them concealed their auras. Chen Zhou used the method of concealing the aura of the Primordial Truth to completely hide his true energy.
It would be very difficult for someone without the strength of the Golden Core stage or above to detect Chen Zhou's disguise. The power of the Primordial Truth is not just talk.
It was already close to evening. The two of them had indeed spent quite a bit of time in that formation. Chen Zhou was thinking that after they left the Wolong Mountain area, they would find a place near the main road to rest properly.
At that time, he could take advantage of the opportunity to teach Wo Wan. After all, Wo Wan came with him mainly to learn formations, and Chen Zhou couldn't let her make a wasted trip.
Having made these decisions, Chen Zhou quickened his pace, and the two walked faster and faster. Before the sun had set, they finally emerged from the Wolong Mountain area, bathed in the afterglow of the evening. At the exit of the Wolong Mountain area, there was a large gate with the words "Wolong Mountain Area" clearly written on it.
"This is the mountain gate that the emperor of the Northern Kingdom personally supervised the construction of after the last great battle, and he also wrote the words on it to thank the three sects of Wolong for their contributions to that great battle." Wo Wan said, looking at the huge mountain gate as if she had lost in thought.
Chen Zhou, like Wo Wan, stood before the mountain gate, gazing up at its imposing structure, his heart filled with mixed emotions. The three sects of Wolong had risked their lives together and truly deserved this honor. However, the Northern Kingdom didn't seem genuinely grateful to the three sects; they too were wary of their strength.
They probably started planning to weaken the strength of the three factions of Wolong a long time ago.
For some reason, Chen Zhou thought of the vampire clan whenever he thought of this. Could it be that the incident involving the Hidden Dragon Sect was also related to the Northern Kingdom?
Chen Zhou thought about it carefully. Who would benefit most from the weakening of the three factions of Wolong? Why doesn't the Blood Clan start a war now, given that the strength of the Hidden Dragon Sect has declined so much, and they know this?
