It was a rare day that Alchemist Bai had need of them.
Lanshan secretly put out the call, gathering quite a few people—sixty or seventy men in total.
Bai Mo was very surprised. "This is too many, too many," he said. "Don't go to so much trouble."
Lanshan chuckled.
"They all came voluntarily. They're locals, born and raised, people we know through and through. I couldn't turn them away. Besides, there's safety in numbers."
"Right, right."
The group of men nodded in agreement.
Big or small, it was a favor owed.
Heaven knew when one of them might need to knock on Alchemist Bai's door for help.
With the goodwill they were building today, it would be easier to ask.
「That night.」
When he saw a night owl fly overhead, Bai Mo waved his hand, and the group set out.
The men traveled light. Combined with their experience navigating Celestial Barrier Mountain, the sixty-to-seventy-man force moved without making a single sound.
