The Mage from the Righteous Court needed to be within a certain distance to perform his searching magic, and at this moment, the Calming Sect members were close enough and numerous enough for him to sense their approximate location.
This meant that Li Fei no longer needed to lead the way.
"Xiao Fei, your task is complete, you don't need to participate further."
Cao Mu spoke to Li Fei.
He now addressed Li Fei as "Xiao Fei."
Without hesitation, Li Fei replied, "If possible, I would like to be involved in what follows."
He had faced the challenge when the odds were against them; there was no reason to back down now when the situation had turned favorable. He did not want to miss out on the opportunity to prove himself.
Cao Mu glanced at Hao Yi, then nodded, "Alright, then join in."
He gave his consent readily.
The group then hurried towards the due east.
Before long, they sighted members of the Calming Sect sprinting through the forest ahead.
