A few more days passed.
Lu Chao's army had swelled from 120,000 to 150,000 troops, still consisting of a 20,000-strong core and 130,000 hostage soldiers.
In the hands of anyone else, such a force would have undoubtedly imploded, but Lu Chao had it under control.
At last, they arrived safely at the ruins of the former Azure Flame Sect.
People were already waiting at the old site—the families of the Descendants of Azure Flame from the nearby Leopard Flame Kingdom.
"Xiaoping…"
Desperate cries rang out from the families, their voices calling for Yu Xiaoping.
Hearing their calls, Yu Xiaoping burst from the ranks, crying out as well. "Mother! Grandma!"
Many others followed, rushing out from the formation. They were the members of the two thousand Descendants of Azure Flame who resided in the Leopard Flame Kingdom.
They had found their families.
