Now that he made up his mind to go out for his quest, Lu Li set off on preparing. After some analysis with Lu Ling, Lu Li decided that this journey was not too dangerous as long as he could keep it concealed.
The key was not to let the Zhao Family learn about this, or get noticed by others on his way to the Red Stone Mountain.
Lu Li and Lu Ling studied the map in detail and decided to leave the County via the east city gate and take a detour to the Red Stone Mountain.
The Red Stone Mountain was at the southeast of the Ice Abyss. Anyone from the Wu Ling County going to the Ice Abyss usually took the state highway close to the north city gate. Hence, taking the east route would make it less easy for Lu Li to encounter the scouts or warriors of different families.
