An hour was enough to create some distance from their pursuers once again. However, the pursuers were tenacious and cruel, showing relentless determination. By daybreak the next day, they had nearly caught up to Hua Yan and the others.
By then, Hua Yan and her group had reached the tail end of Songlan Mountain.
After a night of harried travel, both the soldiers and the civilians were tired, their pace had slowed down; they could barely walk.
Hua Yan was feeling feverish, seeing stars before her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to faint, asking An Yi, "Try using our family's transmission spell and ask where Shiliu and Shiqi are, would you?"
An Yi nodded and used the Hua Family's transmission spell to contact An Shiliu, the spell could only cover a radius of thirty li and was very draining.
As soon as An Yi activated the transmission spell, An Shiliu's voice came from not far away, "Is it the Young Master passing by?"
