「The next morning.」
A military transport plane, its body forged from a special alloy and engraved with intricate array patterns, stood ready on a makeshift runway in Jiang City.
The Provincial Government had dispatched this plane overnight, specifically to escort Gu Yuexi.
Zhang Chengye personally led the escort, which included a full five Seventh-Grade Martial Artists. Such an entourage would be fitting even for a provincial Governor.
With a tremendous roar, the plane shot into the sky and soon vanished into the clouds, heading for Du Nan City several thousand kilometers away.
Inside the cabin.
Gu Yuexi sat quietly by the window. With a thought, she released the Azure Flame Flying Lion cub from her Beast Taming Pouch to let it get some air.
Though only a few days old, the little creature had already grown to over half a meter in length. Its golden fur was growing thicker, and it faintly emitted a scorching aura.
