Steps

Not long after Alex's group flew out in the night, a group of cultivators appeared outside the city. All of them were in the True realms, and a few were even in the True Emperor realm.

"Did you see where they went?" one of them asked.

"Yeah, in that direction. Quickly, bring out the boat," another one spoke.

The group was far enough from the city gates that the guards didn't see them, so they weren't hesitating at all about flying after the ones that just flew away.

While one of the men brought out a boat, another one excitedly spoke up. "Did you see how much he spent? At least 15 thousand True Spirit stones. Do you think he's some sort of young master?"

"Who cares? As long as we get his storage bag, we will be set for a long time," Another man spoke.

The flying boat was out. It was a large boat capable of carrying at least 30 people in it. It cost at least 20 True Spirit stones to operate for every 200 kilometers it ran.
