Three days passed in a blur of marching feet and flying banners.
The Twin Leaf Peak Sect's expedition moved like a colossal beast through the land—disciplined, unyielding, and constant.
Though the elders and Core Disciples walked without complaint, their expressions serene and energy undiminished, the same could not be said for the vast majority of the Outer Court disciples.
Many of them were in the mid to peak Qi Refinement o realms—barely into true cultivation—and walking nonstop for three days across rugged terrain, through forests, hills, and winding paths had left them ragged.
Even with supportive talismans and medicinal pills, their limits were being tested.
Thus, when the distant banners of the Twin Leaf Peak Sect's Southern Outpost came into view, a collective sigh of relief passed through the Outer Court ranks.
