"They've left the city."
Huang Dajin took a deep breath and answered, "Zuo and the others ran out of the city before everything happened. It seems they knew something big was about to go down. I was on patrol outside at the time, and they even asked me to go with them. I didn't think anything of it, but then..."
'They left the city ahead of time?'
'Did Nangong Yaoyue get some kind of message?'
Gu Zheng considered this and sighed in relief.
'As long as they're out of the city, they'll be fine.'
'Without having to deal with Corpse Puppets and by avoiding the battle zone between the King's Body and the Celestial Corpse, they should have no problem protecting themselves with Xiao Xianya's and Zuo Lingfeng's strength.'
"Thanks, Huang!"
Gu Zheng cupped his fist. "The city's a mess. You should get out as soon as you can too, Huang. I still have things to take care of, so I'll be going."
"Alright. Take care, Gu," Huang Dajin replied, returning the gesture.
The two parted ways.
