Jiang Yi was guessing correctly. When he ran with all his people, the men that watched him were indeed panicky. By the time that these scouts sent back the messages, they already left the east city gate.
Jiang Yi's intention was to catch them unaware.
After he rushed out of the east city gate, he looked around and found a big road in front of him. It was a desolate field along the two sides of the road. He didn't see anyone digging thunder stones around here. He swept to the left and shouted in a deep voice, "Feng'er, take everyone and follow me closely."
Jiang Yi left Jiang Xiaonu to Feng Luan. He flew to a deserted mountain on the left with Qian Wanguan and Zhan Wushuang. Though Qian Wanguan had reached the Vajra Realm, he had yet to learn how to fly; and this was not a good time for him to learn flying.
Swish!
