Set Off

The next morning.

Holy Son Miyan reorganized the team and checked the headcount. Satisfied, he nodded and announced, "We have a complete roster of 32 people from the Imperial Academy this time. Not a single one is missing."

"Fire-Tempering City and Icebound City squads are also intact."

"Both the Flying Sword Academy and Lanyang Academy have each lost a student. Their status, whether alive or dead, remains unknown."

"The Da Feng tribe and the other tribes are unscathed, and the itinerant cultivators are all unharmed."

"Overall, it's a blessing in disguise," Holy Son Miyan concluded, addressing the group. "Now, we'll be crossing the Red River Canyon."

"Be cautious, as the canyon is infested with poisonous insects, snakes, and potential ambushes by large spiritual beasts. Watch your step."
