The Cangnan Empire was vast, and the Southern Border Prefecture was countless miles from its capital, the Imperial City.
The Cloud-Stepping Beasts were renowned for their speed, capable of traveling thousands of miles in a day, yet it still took Lin Hao and his two companions a full month to make the journey from the Southern Border Prefecture.
The Cangnan Empire was boundless, but the Southern Border Prefecture was so remote and impoverished that no one gave the trio a second glance during their journey.
Eventually, they even met Martial Artists who had never heard of the Southern Border Prefecture.
As a result, the trio endured dozens of battles along the way.
As they neared the Imperial City, they were ambushed by a band of roving brigands. They only managed to escape after Ling Xiao and Yang Peng were wounded.
To make matters worse, their Cloud-Stepping Beasts were stolen during the fight.
