But they have become cleverer. After losing some cultivators earlier, they stopped advancing.

In the end, they followed behind these indigenous tribes, stepping on their footprints, moving forward step by step. Although this slowed them down considerably, it was much safer.

This left the indigenous tribes feeling helpless, but there’s nothing they can do. They can’t erase the footprints after walking, as that would be too time-consuming.

At this moment, Ye Luo narrowed his eyes because trailing behind them was the Returner Alliance!

Whether they had discovered Ye Luo’s tracks or it was a coincidence, Ye Luo didn’t want them following behind, regardless of the reason.

These guys are like mad dogs. Once they leave this strange region, they would attack the tribe without hesitation.

Although Ye Luo and Nuonuo could certainly escape by then, most of the tribe would fall victim to these mad dogs’ slaughter!

Ye Luo hoped to follow these tribes out smoothly, as they always returned to the Five Dao Ridges and never got trapped inside, which indicated they had their own patterns.

"I’m going to the back!" Ye Luo said to Nuonuo, who nodded obediently, understanding what Ye Luo meant to do.

Ye Luo gradually moved to the back, and now, the cultivators of the Returner Alliance trailing them could be seen in the distance.

This group obviously noticed Ye Luo and bared their teeth with a cold smile.

Clearly, once they left this region, they would act against Ye Luo immediately.

Ye Luo also smiled coldly without hesitation. He struck out with his palm, and immediately, several footprints behind him vanished!

"How dare you!"

Immediately, several returners at the front shouted.

Typically, no tribe would do this! Although the indigenous tribes are mysterious, they can’t cultivate and thus have relatively low status. Many forces in the South Territory won’t attack indigenous tribes; even bandits steer clear of them. However, that doesn’t mean inland and overseas forces would do the same!

But Ye Luo wasn’t afraid of the returners’ intimidation; it was a matter of life and death anyway.

Ye Luo showed no mercy, repeatedly striking with his palm, causing those footprints to vanish piece by piece.

The returners didn’t want to follow too closely, fearing they might scare the indigenous tribe. Unexpected, this gave Ye Luo an opportunity; if they were too close, it wouldn’t be easy for Ye Luo to act like this.

"How dare!" The front few returners were furious and lunged towards Ye Luo.

The climate here is harsh, but brief flights are possible at the cost of exhausting a lot of spiritual power.

By now, Ye Luo had smoothed out most of the footprints.

Seeing these people flying over, he remained unruffled, continuing to nonchalantly erase a footprint with each step forward.

This scene left the returners at the back helpless, even causing their group to halt entirely.

Continuing might bring them face to face with those ancient palms.

But flying in the air couldn’t evade the power of the ancient palms.

It seemed that them flying in the air had angered the ancient palms, which appeared consecutively, grabbing several returners down!

No matter how they attacked the ancient palms, it was useless. The assertive returners ended up underground just like that.

You can imagine that they likely had no chance to return to the surface. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

This sight shocked Ye Luo. If it had been him, he also couldn’t have safely passed through due to the enormous power of the ancient palms.

Of course, for a true master, there were no restrictions.

Ye Luo sensed that at least two powerful auras swept past; as soon as the ancient palms extended, they were gone!

Those were the true masters of the Sixth Region, towering over the ancestors of sects!

Ye Luo had never seen such masters.

Of course, they had no connection with him.

The few returners being dragged underground scared the rest from moving carelessly again. After some thought, they had no choice but to give up on Ye Luo’s tribe and search for footprints from other tribes.

Ye Luo had almost erased all the footprints they had walked on, ensuring no forces could follow them, which was undoubtedly very safe for the tribe.

Nobody wants a wolf following them.

Before long, the group stopped, not because Dao’er was lost, but because his body was exhausted.

The soil here being exceedingly hard meant even Ye Luo using mana to smooth the footprints was strenuous, let alone Dao’er, an average man. If it weren’t for his robust physique, he couldn’t have left footprints at all.

Even so, after such a journey, he was physically drained.

Ye Luo also noticed that they were absolutely ahead, leaving other indigenous tribes behind.

This was entirely due to the effect of Ye Luo’s essence of the Spirit Pond.

Thinking of this, Ye Luo went over to Dao’er.

"Big Brother Dao’er, take this essence!" Ye Luo handed him another bottle.

This journey was a massive drain on the Spirit Pond essence. The essence Ye Luo previously gave him was consumed completely, which caused his physical exhaustion.

"Ye Luo, this is too precious. I can keep going after some rest. Using it like this is such a waste!" Dao’er said weakly.

Ye Luo shook his head, "In the end, this is just an external thing. Without you, our master-disciple duo might have perished, plus entering Five Dao Ridges as early as possible benefits everyone. Comparatively, this bit of essence isn’t much!"

Dao’er wasn’t someone to hesitate. After a brief thought, he took the essence, which replenished his strength greatly upon consumption, enabling him to continue quickly.

This made other indigenous tribes envious. Although these tribes are mysterious, they don’t have many natural treasures to squander.

But even with Ye Luo using the Spirit Pond essence just to hurry, compared to the large forces, they were still quite slow.

Other forces used magical treasures, speeding swiftly, but they also faced continuous attacks from the ancient palms, causing many disciple deaths. However, overall, it was deemed worthwhile.
