Million Horses

As soon as the dark clouds dispersed and was replaced with the clear blue sky, some of the cultivators left while some lingered so they could see who was the cultivator who advanced.

But night fell and still there was no sign of the array being lifted. They decided to retreat and camp out instead.

Sun Xun watched over Song Jia while Wan Yan and Jin guarded.

It was already morning when Song Jia awakened.

She felt stiff all over. Only her eyes moved.

'Xun.' She called out to him in her mind.

He opened his eyes to see her looking at him.

"Are you still in pain?" His brows furrowed.

'Not as much anymore."

He nodded. "Just rest."

'I need to go somewhere.'

"Where?"

She looked deeply into him.

'I'll be quick.'

"Alright. I understand."

'Jin..' She called out.

The young man quickly entered the tent.

Relief washed over him to see her awake.

"Jia! Are you alright?"
