Chapter 922: Chapter 922: Convergence at Ying County
Just like that, Bai Junjun and Li Wenli carried out reforms in Ownerless Land with the awe-inspiring authority of the “Celestial God”.
The survival habits of the Fire-Swallowing Tribe were completely changed.
Gradually, they gave up their lifestyle of eating raw at and drinking blood, trying instead to learn language, drink clean water, consu cooked foods, and even transitioning from hunting to cultivating crops and grains.
On a spiritual level, they also endeavored to learn language, weaving, and various other tasks.
Of course, such accomplishnts were not achieved overnight, but Bai Junjun and Li Wenli both had patience—after all, they currently had nothing else to do to pass the ti.
While they were eagerly learning these skills, Ah Dao finally managed to reunite with his teammates in Ying County.
As it happened, when Ah Dao left Ownerless Land, Three-Branch Junction was unguarded.
For those two days, the people of Witch Ancestor Mountain had all withdrawn into the poisonous miasma, and Yuwen Jun had yet to arrive, so Ah Dao easily passed through Three-Branch Junction.
There was an eight-day journey from Three-Branch Junction to Ying County, and Ah Dao ran desperately towards it, finally arriving in Ying County on the fifth day.
Sasa and the others were delighted to receive Ah Dao, especially upon learning that things were progressing well on Witch Ancestor Mountain, and that Mr. Shan Hai, Mr. Dan He, and Wu Nuan had all been successfully rescued. Manager Qiao and Lady Lin were particularly thrilled, wishing they could sprout wings and fly to their side right away.
However, this ti Ah Dao ca, he also noticed that the faces of the commoners in Ying County were not as relaxed as they had been during the Flower God Festival, with everyone harboring a trace of worry and tension.
There were fewer people leisurely strolling the streets. Everyone seed on edge.
Thinking of the situation in the city, Ah Dao couldn’t help but ask, “Is there so new developnt?”
“The Guard Captain of the compound secretly told that the Second Prince is dispatching troops, and now all the elites are being assembled in the area connected to Biluo. Counties around Ying County even as far as the Imperial Capital are in a state of air defense readiness. The Yan are now planning on recruiting strong n to join the patrols,” said Lady Lin, succinctly clarifying for Ah Dao that the ti for the Autumn Equinox was approaching, and a battle was on the horizon.
It is said that the North-South Bridge had been repaired, and the South sought to point its sword at the Northern Lands, with the North-South Bridge from Biluo being the fastest route. Before Baiju Country was torn asunder, one could have traveled from the Imperial Capital to Biluo by just passing through a few cities. However, after the country’s disorder and the division of territories, the princes made their own agreents, disallowing passage between their respective forces.
To travel to various places, one had to take the longest route through Three-Branch Junction, which was only available to comrce and the poor.
With the three powers now allied, naturally, they would no longer have to go through Three-Branch Junction.
The withdrawal of military forces from the surrounding counties was also within reason.
Recalling what Miss had said about bringing everyone back before the Autumn Equinox, Ah Dao did not delay, urging everyone to quickly pack up and leave imdiately.
“Aren’t you going to rest for a while?” Master Shan Ci was a bit worried, as Ah Dao, covered in dust, seed to have traveled day and night. He wondered if Ah Dao could endure another such hasty return trip without rest.
“I’m fine, I’ll just take a quick nap on the road,” replied Ah Dao.
“If that’s the case, let’s hurry up and leave,” everyone agreed.
Without dallying, everyone went to their rooms to grab their belongings and left. Their movents were so swift one might think they knew beforehand that Ah Dao was arriving today.
Ah Dao was stunned; the others laughingly explained, “Ever since Junjun went to find you, we’ve been ready to pick up our bags and leave at any mont. Don’t worry, the logistics have been fully ensured.”
As they left, the guards of the compound did not stop them, assuming the group was embarking on a journey back to the Imperial Capital.
