To reach the border of Yixia, they needed to venture slightly away from the Pompo Administrative Region. However, they faced a new challenge.
Only those with an envoy group token could enter the Yixia border, while Aiden's team had arrived with Neil's team, who possessed the envoy group tokens. The presence of Aiden's team in an unauthorized area aroused suspicion among many soldiers.
"If you don't mind, I need to check your identities. If you're not intruders, we might let you go!" several soldiers from the knight group stated firmly.
Aiden remained silent, as did the others. Their words were clear; they intended to verify the authenticity of Aiden and his team's identities. If they found anything suspicious, they might take immediate action.
The worst-case scenario was that they would severely punish Aiden's team on the spot.
"We are the escort team from the 17th Mage Group. We came to escort them. That's why we don't have the envoy group token," Aiden explained.
