Extra Chapter 95

Ten days later, the journey from Heaven Dou City to Spirit City was already halfway complete.

The trip had indeed gone as smoothly as Tang Chuan and the others had expected.

That was hardly surprising. After all, they had five hundred Royal Knights escorting them. Such treatment was comparable to the travels of imperial relatives and nobles. Wherever they went, they naturally received the highest-standard reception, and any potential trouble was cleared away in advance.

However, perhaps because some unseen fate was controlling things, on the eleventh day, an accident arrived.

Just as the party had advanced halfway through, waves of cold, sinister aura rose without the slightest concealment from the mountains on both sides of the canyon path.

The next second, Shu Yun seemed to sense something.
