Once they had prepared everything, Ricky, Mordechai, Claire, Ella, and Amelia headed for the inner region where the Misty South Palace was located.
However, Ricky didn't expect that Lloyd would ask Shirley to escort them to their destination.
Lloyd told them that the forces after Ricky wouldn't send warriors at the Sage Level anymore because of the Misty South Shadow, but they might still send upper spiritual emperors or demi-saints to hunt him down.
He insisted Shirley should accompany them as their bodyguard, and in that way, he wouldn't need to worry about Ricky and the others.
But despite Lloyd's wishes, Ricky didn't let Shirley join their journey. He instead brought her into his Chaotic Fire Zone, where she could spend her time cultivating.
It didn't even occur to Ricky to keep the Chaotic Fire Zone a secret from Shirley. He trusted her implicitly.
And then, to avoid unnecessary trouble, the five of them took a remote path and made sure to keep a low profile throughout the entire journey.
It was also lucky that before Tina left, she gave Ricky the airship at the Demi-sage Level.
Thus, their little group of five used it to move forward.
It would probably take two months to reach the Misty South Palace based on the speed of their vehicle.
"Okay, guys. We can focus on our cultivation before we get there. We haven't fully comprehended the Intent Spirit that we obtained from the Emperor Intent Tomb," Ricky announced.
He also gave Amelia a part of his Intent Spirit.
"Tsk! You have too many girls. Are you collecting them or something?" Claire scoffed at Ricky through telepathy. Her voice sounded a little envious.
"It's because I'm charming. I'm sure you agree too because otherwise, you, the lady of the Mu Clan, wouldn't have chosen to be with me," Ricky replied with a teasing smile.
"You're so narcissistic!" growled Claire as she sent him a sharp glance.
The conversation dissolved after that, and the five of them turned their attention on their cultivation.
At this point, Ricky's saber intent had reached fifty percent at the late stage, and he planned to improve it up to sixty percent.
In that way, his saber intent would be closer to seventy percent. If a creature's Intent Apperception reached seventy percent, it would mean a tremendous leap in his cultivation, and it could even serve as one of his most powerful trump cards.
Seventy percent Intent Apperception or above enabled warriors to find their own way in the martial arts.
Clearing his mind, Ricky knuckled down to review the saber skills he had picked up.
He would comprehend his saber intent from these.
And since Ricky had cultivated the Shura Eight Moves and acquired some power from the Intent Spirit, he was able to quickly comprehend the saber intent.
Time flew by quickly. The five of them were so focused on their cultivation that they didn't notice how much time had passed.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One day, the sudden vigorous shaking of their airship awoke them. The five of them immediately stopped their training and sprang into action.
The moment they opened their eyes, they found that several figures had surrounded the airship.
Men, women, young, and middle-aged; there were so many of them.
"Who are you and what do you want?" asked Mordechai at once.
"We are here for Ricky Nan!" a young man haughtily spat out, pointing a finger at Ricky.
"Why are you looking for me when I don't even know you? Are you also after Master Paul's inheritance?" Ricky asked with a quirk of an eyebrow.
