Li Yuanjiao carried the half-dead Hook Snake, flying away from the southern shore of Salty Lake at Xuan Yue Sect, and summoned the Mysterious Pattern Bottle, from which mist spread in all directions. The Hook Snake still squeaked and whimpered, its mouth full of pleas for mercy.
The Hook Snake's body was huge, and the Mysterious Pattern Bottle couldn't conceal it; it was rather conspicuous. Li Yuanjiao, carrying the Hook Snake, had just reached the shore and had no choice but to frown and land.
'An abandoned mountain or wild temple would be far too noticeable... Not to mention, this monster is absurdly heavy. Not only would using mana consume much energy, but parading it around is truly unwise.'
He quickly changed direction, flying north for a short while, intending to travel all the way upstream from within Salty Lake, follow the Great River through the safest territory controlled by Xiuyue Sect, and then return to the northern shore of Wangyue Lake via Xu Country.
