Once he managed to confirm that his pursuers had given up on the chase, Lu Tianzi turned right around and headed back down south.
He had only led the group northwards in order to reduce suspicions.
After all, it was no secret that he and Nanlan Qianxue had come from Bog Town, which was to the north of the Divine Storm City.
Therefore, there was nothing strange at all about him instinctively heading north in response to the sudden pursuit.
And that was where Lu Tianzi wanted his pursuers to believe he had gone as well.
He was not nearly naive enough to believe that they would give up just like that. Perhaps after the first wave of pursuers reported back to their masters, a second wave of effort would be implemented to find him.
To avoid future trouble, Lu Tianzi intended to head in the complete opposite direction.
First, he met up with a worried Nanlan Qianxue in a forested area slightly east of the Divine Storm City.
