Unexpectedly, Bai Yuan ended up staying in Lu State for another five days.
During this time, Yan Lei received news from Chuzhou that one family and one sect were willing to head north.
Given the Yan Family's standing in Chuzhou, it was natural that these two factions had already been won over by them.
With this, the trip south had now gathered four different powers.
This had far exceeded Yan Lei's expectations. His grandfather, the Grand Protector, would surely be pleased.
There was no longer any point in staying in Jiangnan, so after some discussion, the group decided to return to Ling Province as soon as possible.
With the help of the Cao Bang's cargo ships, they crossed several thousand miles in just three days, arriving at the border of Yan Province. From there, it would only take a few more days on horseback to reach Ling Province.
The three of them experienced the thrill of covering nearly a thousand miles in a single day.
