Along the way, Ye Zhen passed through a total of five water territories, completely traversing two of them. A common factor among these five water territories was that the closer to the Water Mansion, the stricter the inspections became.
Especially when approaching about a hundred thousand li near the Water Mansion, the inspections became incredibly strict.
In general, most Water Demons could command those ordinary, yet spiritually undeveloped members of the Water Clan to serve as eyes and ears. Once an outsider approached, a patrol of Water Demons would promptly arrive with a large group to conduct inspections.
At the very least, some Water Demons would trail from a distance, tracking the intruder's movements.
While traversing one such Water territory, Ye Zhen accidentally entered the hundred thousand li alert zone, and was immediately met by a large group of Water Clan members conducting inquiries.
