After Jia Xitong escaped from being whipped, she lived in fear every day. The siege tactics of the Martial God Temple wouldn't take lives, but they were unbearably torturous.
The first thing she did upon returning was to find a way to break through their encirclement.
The strength of the Martial God Temple was formidable; facing them head-on in battle was impossible. The sky was guarded heavily, making escape impractical.
Jia Xitong's last resort was to flee by the sea bottom.
The Merfolk could travel ten thousand miles a day underwater; taking some young Tuo Hai Clan children and pregnant women away wasn't very difficult. This plan had to be executed in small, frequent batches, although it was uncertain when it might be discovered; one could only flee with whatever small numbers possible.
When will Shang Yanting arrive?
Jia Xitong stared at the giant moon hanging in the sky, lost in thought.
"Sister Xi Tong, go to bed early."
