Finally, the fifth person spoke up. Dressed in a gray Taoist robe, he wore a stern expression and spoke in a very cautious tone: "Even ordinary beasts are not so easy for us in the Qi Condensation Stage to deal with, let alone us rogue cultivators. We cannot compare to those from orthodox sects with their deep foundations. It is still best to be careful."
The middle-aged man surnamed Zou, who looked like a farmer, agreed: "Fellow Taoist Songfeng speaks the truth. We are taking a detour around the Tianjue Mountain Range toward Ruyun Valley precisely to avoid some of the powerful beasts. I have traveled this route with a few other rogue cultivators before, and we basically never encountered any beasts that our Qi Condensation Stage cultivation couldn't handle. Everyone can rest easy."
Hearing the man surnamed Zou say this, the sword-carrying man, the timid youth, the tall and robust man, and the gray-robed Taoist all felt much more at ease.
