After shaking off the Red-eyed Stone Dragon, Du Youqian made no effort to find the Foundation Establishment Cultivators and mortals who had scattered earlier.
He felt he had already done more than enough. He couldn't possibly keep worrying about complete strangers and delay his own journey.
He continued heading northeast, but he was in no hurry. He traveled at a leisurely pace, stopping in every town he encountered to gather information.
After a few days of unhurried travel, he was no longer far from Starry Valley.
He had now entered the territory of a human nation called the Chen Kingdom.
The Chen Kingdom's territory was vast. It was said to have an army one hundred thousand strong, and its people were known for their martial spirit. The Kings of Chen had also pursued Cultivation for generations, and it was said that the royal family's aptitude for it was quite good.
