Since the white-clothed cultivator had fled on his own, Zhao Chun could now claim the True Sun Dew here. She already had five drops in her possession. If she lingered too long in the wilds, she might be targeted by Dust Hawks or other opportunists, and end up letting others reap the rewards.
Better to refine it first—every bit of strength gained was an extra layer of protection. With this thought settled, Zhao Chun immediately mounted her longsword, chose the nearest Return Realm City from her map jade slip, and sped away at full flight.
For cultivators returning from the wilds, it was usually a sign that their expedition was over, and they carried treasures on their person, waiting to be refined in the city or brought back to the Great World. Thus, they were prime targets for Dust Hawk ambushes.
Zhao Chun did not slow her pace, while also extending her senses outward to detect any traces of pursuit. Perhaps fortune finally favored her—until she entered the Return Realm City, she saw no sign of the gray-robed, hawk-faced figures.
