Phoenix Lake was over three hundred *li* from Yellow Sand City, to the southwest. In reality, although Hu and his group said they were heading toward Phoenix Lake, they had no intention of getting within a hundred *li* of it.
A so-called forbidden land was no mere joke. Forget a team like theirs, whose strongest member was only at the Profound Level; even a supreme expert at the Celestial Level leading a group of Earth Level Martial Artists wouldn't dare to venture in rashly. Anyone who dared to go deep into Phoenix Lake was a lunatic with a death wish!
There were only two outcomes: either you died, or you struck it rich!
Hu was no lunatic, and neither was anyone else in the group. Thus, they were only traveling in the *direction* of Phoenix Lake.
