The trio ran for two days and they are followed by these people for two days without any rest.
Only after some beasts within the woods hooked up with these two guys did they have enough privilege to take a break.
After that, they continued to move towards the imperial capital.
They don't know what exactly these church guys are planning, but they seemed to be completely weird and extremely dangerous.
Particularly, their brainwashing methods and turning a normal person into this weird freak like this.
From what heard from the shadow mouse, the couple turned into Novices, but the people who chased them are on verge of being Nascent stage cultivators. No, it would be rather fitting to call them organisms than cultivators.
After another four days, they finally arrived at the imperial capital.
