This place was approximately forty kilometers away from the border in a straight line. The mountain paths were difficult to navigate, and even for martial artists of their caliber, it would be impossible to traverse on foot in less than two days.
Ling Zhenfei chose to pursue the culprits into the forest without any prior preparation, not even having time to bring along rations.
However, for someone who had grown up in the border mountain forests since childhood, surviving in the wilderness was not difficult for him.
Whenever he felt a bit tired, he would sit down to pick some wild fruits and drink some mountain spring water to quickly replenish his strength before urgently pressing on deeper into the forest.
In the ensuing hours, Ling Zhenfei encountered several blockading forces.
The initial few blocking forces weren't very strong and were easily handled by Ling Zhenfei.
