After traveling for several miles, Lin Yun and his group had yet to encounter any Demon Beasts or humans. But then, Lin Yun suddenly sensed the fluctuation of human Elemental Power not far ahead.
"There are people up ahead," Lin Yun said to the other three.
"Oh, that's great! Let's go take a look. It would be wonderful if they're students from the Academy," Chen Xin said happily.
Hearing Chen Xin's words, Wangcai and Li Ji had no objections. The three of them were quite naive, believing that running into other people in the mountains was a good thing.
Of the four, only Lin Yun knew that people could sometimes be more terrifying and dangerous than Demon Beasts. The human heart was the most complex of all; robbery, murder, and killing for profit were things Lin Yun had seen many times before.
"Hold on. Don't rush over," Lin Yun warned them. "We don't know who they are, and out here in the Imperial City Mountain Range, if you get killed, there's nowhere to even plead your case."
