Song Qi traveled underwater at the top of his speed with practically no rest. He only took some nap once in a while on some islands when he was exhausted.
He knew that he must make every second count and kill Lu Li before he ran away. Any delay could lead to more troubles. What if the Pavilion of Delicacy sent out some Human Sovereign Realm warrior to protect Lu Li?
Plus, there were too many Xuan Beasts at sea. Every time when Song Qi took a nap, he would be alarmed by the qi and energy of the Xuan Beasts. He was forced to wake up to kill the beasts and carry on.
To go across the sea on an Iron-armored Ship would take at least two or three months but Song Qi had made it in just 26 days. He was fast and he was determined.
He was wearing a mask more advanced than the Illusion Mask. It could cover up his qi and energy and change his appearance at any time.
