Other people were too slow. Li Zheng discussed with a few people and determined that they were very close to the Celestial Dragon Race's Golden Light Battle Intent Domain. As long as Ma Long and the others focused on traveling, there should be no danger along the way.
The Leader of Nine Heavens asked Qian Bu Gou to tell Li Zheng to go ahead on his own; they had their own way of returning to the Outer City.
This wasn't the Leader of Nine Heavens putting on airs; it was only through others speaking to Li Zheng that he could remember once he left their vicinity.

Li Zheng thought about it but still felt uneasy. He reached for the Black Dragon Spear and charged forward, slaughtering all the twisted beasts he encountered along the way.
