The first thing the siblings saw after reaching Chang'an was Gu Ying struggling against a horde of zombies at the east gate.
"Brother Yihao! We have to help Gu Ying!"
The situation was dire, with undead and imperial soldiers locked in a stalemate. The higher the mountain of corpses piled, the more difficult it became for the soldiers to gain the higher ground. Gu Ying was the only cultivator here, but even with a Radiant Core, she was barely keeping the ghost army at bay.
To make matters worse, a new horde was redirecting from the northern side.
Leaping with a giant burst, Yihao landed hard in the middle of the swarm. Gu Ying's look of surprise quickly melted into joy at the three children.
Not wanting to get caught up in Yihao's frenzy, Mingshen and Anji bailed and reunited briefly with Gu Ying to exchange a few words.
"Gu Ying!" Anji ran up to her bodyguard since childhood and hugged her tightly.
