Meanwhile, Tiria and Juvian led the cultivators of the Dalamu Sect to investigate the valley's surroundings. Unfortunately, the defense there was really tight. Every time they got close, at least one Soul Forging Realm Lakure Race member would be there waiting for them.
Tiria and Juvian had to do their best to simply flee from those unfortunate situations. However, they soon noticed one thing. Every time they arrived at a certain distance from the valley, the Lakure Race experts would stop the pursuit and return. From the looks of it, they were a lot more worried about leaving the valley unprotected than killing the cultivators who entered the natural formation.
