Wei Yuan continued deeper into the territory based on the results of his interrogation. As he passed by an intersection, he saw a transparent block of ice containing the frozen corpse of a Human Clan cultivator. His face was contorted with terror, fixed in the expression he wore just before death, though it was unclear how long he had been encased there.
This was a boundary mark set by the Hai Li Clan as a warning.
Such boundary markers generally carried warning spells. Wei Yuan didn't touch it; instead, he concealed his presence and simply walked past.
Wei Yuan figured that the two following him, the Peacock Monk and Zhao Fusheng, wouldn't be able to stand idly by. Once they smashed the boundary mark and triggered the alarm, Wei Yuan had already hidden himself. Then he just needed to wait for the Hai Li Clan to respond to the intruders, and Wei Yuan could take advantage of the chaos to see what treasures lay within their nest.
