The night was dark and gloomy.
The City Lord's Mansion was brightly lit with lanterns and decorations, drawing everyone's attention.
Dozens of figures leaped out of Yidu City, avoiding the main roads and thoroughfares as they plunged into the distant mountain forests.
Bamboo Horse Technique!
Someone tossed out a handful of bamboo chopsticks, and with a surge of white smoke, powerful steeds appeared in their place.
"My lady!"
"Get on the horses, quickly!"
"No." Situ Kongli's beautiful eyes glinted.
"You go on ahead to Tiannan City. Don't worry about us."
"But..." The Personal Guard looked surprised, but then, as if understanding something, he nodded firmly.
"Be careful, my lady!"
"If we manage to survive this, we will surely return to your side the day you become a Great Mage."
"A Great Mage?" Situ Kongli glanced back at Yidu City, a complex look in her eyes.
'That's far from enough...'
"Go, now!"
