Yuan Ming left the open mine and quickly put the minor incident he had just experienced behind him.
It had been half a month since the last great battle.
During that time, under the continual challenges of the Black Wind, he had mastered his Fist Intent to perfection, and the yin qi in the wind no longer affected him. Continuing his training would yield little benefit. Moreover, with the tense battle situation between the Wu Yue Sect and the sects of the Central Plains, he didn't have much time left for cultivation. It was time to leave the Black Wind Desert.
However, the recent event served as a reminder— with the Wu Yue Sect having fully mobilized, their rear base in the Northern Desert was definitely vulnerable. Instead of rushing to the front lines to support the battle, it might be more impactful to infiltrate the Northern Desert, cut off the Wu Yue Sect's supplies, and destroy their lair.
