After just an hour of flight, Xu Liang, Reon, and Mei Lin arrived in Minlung County, covering nearly two thousand miles from Zhushin County.
Thanks to Xu Liang's mount—a Noble Lineage, Low-Rank Demonic Commander Beast—such an immense journey was reduced to a short flight.
Its speed was something that ordinary demonic beasts could hardly ever hope to rival.
Their destination was at the edge of Mishou Village—a small, remote place deep in the county. In front of them stood a modest-looking estate, the home of a third-class noble.
Two guards flanked the entrance, standing watch.
As the trio approached, the guards stepped forward, blocking their path.
"What business do you have at the Village Chief's mansion?" one of them demanded warily.
Xu Liang's eyes narrowed coldly.
"Open the gate. Now."
The second guard barked,
"The chief ordered us to keep strangers out. Leave while we're still being nice."
Xu Liang exhaled lightly, her voice calm but edged with warning.
