"These places don't seem to be on Dracodom's map."
Four days later, they found themselves flying above a forest. They had entered unfamiliar territory.
Sofia smiled and explained, "The spiritual energy in this forest is remarkably dense. It might even be several dozen times richer than in some of Dracodom's cities. I would think that this place harbors some very strong monsters, or perhaps some secluded clans. Some secluded sects would prefer to train nearby as well."
Diane was concerned that Severin might experience fatigue, so she suggested, "You've been flying the sword for quite some time now. Would you like to take a break before we continue our journey?"
Severin scanned the surroundings and pointed to a nearby mountain peak. "Let's rest there for an hour or so before we continue."
Following their brief rest on the mountain peak, they noticed a group of people approaching them just as they were prepared to depart.
"Their attire suggests to me that these people are disciples from a sect," Rachel surmised.
After mulling over the situation, Severin advised, "Since we have no clue as to which sect they belong to, it would be best if we did not hurry to leave. Let's continue our journey once they've moved further away."
When the approaching group was about a hundred or so meters away, a mustached man looked over and said to one of the middle-aged men, "There's a group of people over on that mountain peak!"
The middle-aged man beside him glanced in that direction and used his mental power to observe Severin's group.
"How rude of them to scan us with their mental power!" Elsa remarked with a hint of irritation. Using mental power to sound out another party was considered impolite in many situations.
