Chapter 31: Early Escape

The following day, in the small hours of the morning, before the sun had properly risen above the surrounding hills and the sky had just begun to lighten, the women of the Amber Lily Academy clambered into their wagons and carriages and set off on their journey. The first ploy of Wu Ling's plan was simple and aimed at removing the least threatening gang from the board. 'Boss Yang' was clearly less powerful than 'Fenglun' and his gang only had the power to contend for scraps. That led Wu Ling to the conclusion that they were a force mostly composed of Brawlers, perhaps led by a middle or late-stage Brawler, but lacking the power of any second-stage or higher cultivators.
