The Adjutant, also a Transformation Realm expert, scaled the cliff much faster than Lu Chao.
On the opposite side of the destroyed mountain path, Cheng Yunsu and the others grew tense again at the sight...
Suddenly, the sound of hoofbeats echoed from the clifftop, and Lu Chao's voice carried along with them. "Tell Lu Hanyan that my name is also Lu Chao. If the opportunity arises, I would very much like to meet her."
Lu Chao's calm voice allowed everyone on the other side of the path to let out a collective sigh of relief.
Cheng Yunsu spoke softly. "Lu Chao had Demon Beast Warhorses prepared on the cliff. They won't catch him. Let's go."
They had left their own warhorses on the clifftop when they arrived.
With that, the group no longer hesitated. They took the two thousand rescued soldiers and hurried down the path leading away from the mountain trail.
They were safe for now, but not completely. Their pursuers could still take a detour.
