Xu Shan quickly regained his footing, his eyes narrowing as he glanced at the City Lord's wife lying on the ground nearby.
Ignoring her for the moment, he assessed his surroundings and noticed they had emerged in a dense forest. He was sure that he wasn't far from the nearest city. Moreover, the Guards were also long lost. They had no chance of reaching him with the Portal being destroyed.
In that way, he had also cut off the Royal Army's approach to the City and the information from there. He had bought more time.
The woman groaned in pain as she struggled to get up.
Xu Shan approached her, his expression devoid of any sympathy.
Fear flickered in the woman's eyes, but she managed to push herself to her feet, holding her injured arm.
"You won't get away with this," she hissed through gritted teeth. "The Kingdom will hunt you down, and justice will be served."
