After shaking off Yuo Qing's pursuit, Lü Zhong didn't dare delay for a second. He immediately rushed toward the Sect.
As a member of the Heling Sect, it was his duty to report the fall of the Little Yuan Valley Mine. If he failed to do so and an investigation was launched later, he would be sentenced to several years of hard labor, at the very least.
Hiding until the war ended would be an extremely unwise move, unless he planned on deserting the Sect entirely.
Less than half a day after his departure, Lü Zhong saw a fleet soaring through the sky toward him.
It was a fleet of ten large Flying Ships. The Three Spirits Unification Seal on their hulls shone brightly. According to the Heling Sect's standard configuration, each large Flying Ship was commanded by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. If fully staffed with high and low-level disciples, the entire fleet would number close to a thousand—a sizable detachment.
