659 659 Into the Mountains

The next morning, Cain got everyone up early so they could get a good start on the day. He intended to have them walk for at least the first half of the day until they were well outside the area where the Sects were camped. That way, they wouldn't attract too much attention, and they could fly away on their Swords without any idiots trying to rob them.

At least, that was the plan. But by the time they finished breakfast and began heading toward the edge of the Cultivation Sects' camps, it became clear that leaving without attracting attention simply wasn't going to happen.

Every Sect that they passed was familiar with both the Sect's uniforms as well as Cain's reputation as the purveyor of the obscure and prohibited. How he got so many Sects' secret techniques was a matter of great discussion among the assembled Elders, but they all agreed that he seemed to know every secret that they thought they had kept hidden from the world.
