The situation was more dangerous than ever.
Chu Yang had rushed-through his escape-route by employing ambushes, tricks, ploys and strategies. He had been able to advance towards Beyond the Heavens Sect mountain range after he had fought several battles.
Beyond the Heavens Sect mountain range was an intersection that connected Great Zhao and Iron cloud. It was an extremely important location.
So, Chu Yang would be able to enter the Iron Cloud territory if he were to cross this mountain range. After that, he'd be out of his pursuers' reach; the Golden Horse Riders Department wouldn't be able to cause any harm to him.
Therefore, almost every available expert of the Golden Horse Riders Department was gathered here — more than a thousand of these experts were spread over the entire mountain range.
