In the western jungle of the Calming Sect's village stronghold, Li Fei was hiding in the branches of a large tree, looking out at the distant commotion.
From this position, he could clearly see the situation inside the village.
As Wang Ping and others went after the Calming Sect Hierarch Zhao Yu, Li Fei had been waiting for an opportunity, waiting for all the attention to be drawn there before he decisively chose to break through in the opposite direction.
If Wang Ping and his group were successful in capturing Zhao Yu and reversing the situation, he could always go back.
And if Wang Ping and his group failed, he wouldn't be without an escape route.
The final outcome proved that Li Fei's caution saved his life.
He had watched the battle that unfolded on the hill to the east from start to finish, perched in the tree, seeing one Rank A martial master after another fall.
