The location where the Soul Flayer was suspected to dwell was beyond the no man's land region north of Kazhan. This region was dominated by spirit beasts. Xan Chi told the others that Kazhan had attempted to build a settlement in the region several times in the past, but each attempt had been met with failure.
The no man's land region was a massive jungle. While flying above might be faster, Xan Chi advised everyone to refrain from doing so. Many powerful beasts surveyed the sky. Either from the jungle or from up above the clouds. Anything they considered weak traveling in the sky would become prey.
Xan Chi also left behind his Gajashura. The tamed beast was too conspicuous for a stealth mission. They wanted to pass through this jungle without ruffling too much hair. Their objective lay beyond the jungle, in an area called Xejin Tundra.
