Although Xue Wei was not too keen on following Lan's suggestion after what happened with the Monarch Piranha Flower, he also knew that they had no other option.
They needed to find the army, and they could not fight them alone, so teaming up with someone would be the best solution. While Lan was very mischievous, he had never lied to them before, so when he had said who was gathering, they did not doubt him.
So, instead of resting, the group hurried towards the direction that Lan had pointed out. They were solemn and alert. Things had taken a strange turn, and they did not know what they could expect any longer.
But their trip was surprisingly easy. They did not encounter any soldiers along the way; neither did they come across many villages, and those they did cross were either avoided or quickly left behind.
