After leaving New Tieshi City, Prince of Shicheng Hua Tianxiong traveled at top speed until he found a completely deserted area. From there, he boarded his Early Tier 4 Golden Eagle King and flew directly toward the border between the Zhao State and the Xiongnu Empire, located outside Ximing Prefecture.
Prince of Shicheng Hua Tianxiong reasoned that it was highly probable for this unit of Xiongnu troops to pass through Ximing Prefecture without incident, so he decided to set his ambush at the border where the Xiongnu Empire met Ximing Prefecture. After all, this Xiongnu detachment was small, consisting of only about twenty men, all of whom were Martial Practitioners ranging from Martial General Level 2 to Rank 3 Martial General.
It would take at least half a day to travel from New Tieshi City to the border by Golden Eagle King. Coincidentally, in that same amount of time, the small Xiongnu unit would also reach the border between Ximing Prefecture and the Zhao State. Although Hua Tianxiong knew this could potentially be a feint by the Left Wise King of Xiongnu, he had no way to verify it for certain. He had no choice but to attack on both fronts to ensure that the various items the Left Wise King had auctioned from the Continent Chamber of Commerce would not make it into the Xiongnu Empire.
