Li Fan was lost in his thoughts, probing for information about Xun Country while devising his own persona, using the sword light to fly rapidly towards Xingye City.
In these times, impersonating a Daoist while wandering the jianghu wasn't quite appropriate, because if you were pretending to be a genuine Daoist, upon entering a city you would definitely be asked to produce evidence of your lineage, your Daoist identity card, and your sect. If you couldn't provide satisfactory answers, you'd be labeled a rogue Daoist, the kind who offered sacrifices to evil deities, unacceptable to the authority of the three major factions.
It would be alright in a place like Li Country, where everyone was an independent cultivator and the environment was lax. But Xun Country was different, mainly because it was essentially the Immortal Palace's territory, and the Immortal Palace didn't actually have much affection for Daoists.
