After Feng rejoined the group, Luo'er had no more worries. The Advance Team proceeded south along the planned route, passing through Qi State and Jiangzhou, with Hua State as their final destination.
After a brief rest in Hua State, the Advance Team would head towards Fengyu to enter West Outer Heaven, awaiting rescue from headquarters.
However, it was clear that the Wu Dynasty had no intention of allowing them to leave. Not long after they left Yin State and entered Qi State, a new interception force blocked their way.
On the main road to Qishi Mansion in Qi State, the path was filled with troops blocking their way. These were not troops sent by the Imperial Court, but the local military of Qi State, specifically the Nine Thousand Battalion of the Anxiang family.
