In the wilderness outside the southern city walls, Sorres led a team, aimlessly searching for any trace of Jue. When they first set out, Sorres was quite optimistic, believing they would easily find Jue's trail just outside the city. But now, having been out for half a day, they found nothing—not even a clue. Still, Sorres wasn't one to accept defeat easily. He was determined to find Jue, and even if he didn't, he would ensure the matter appeared as though he did.
While Sorres and his team were wandering blindly through the wilderness, Jue had already taken off with five boxes, heading toward Carson City at breakneck speed. Within just a few minutes, he had left the hilly terrain and entered the plains. At this point, even if Axing managed to break free, he wouldn't be able to catch up with him. Since Jue already knew Axing's target was these five boxes, he figured it wouldn't be too difficult to guard against him in the future.
