Ji Ning continued to flee. On the way, he encountered multiple squads of Daolords, but none of them dared to engage him! Everyone knew how he had been able to fight against four supreme Daolords and kill two of them; this meant that Daolord Darknorth definitely was far too strong for them to compete against.
"It'll all be up to Winesage." This was what countless Daolords were thinking.
...
Palace Lord Dawnstar's ranking was now second only to Ning and Winesage's. He was carrying his giant machete on his back while seated in the lotus position at the peak of a mountain, staring off into the distance as a streak of light flew past. It was Ji Ning. Ning even cast a glance at Dawnstar.
"Be careful, Darknorth." Dawnstar smiled at him.
"Thank you," Ning said, then continued to flee.
Dawnstar smiled as he watched Ning depart. He was a member of the Brightshore Kingdom; there was no way he would stop Ning.
