The three never slowed down even as they spoke. Once they were five miles away from the city, the two subordinates invoked a spell and the aura of a beast was finally unleashed from their beings, materializing into a huge elephant. They then hopped onto the elephant's back which allowed them to travel twice as fast as running on foot.
After another ten miles, there seemed to be fighting in a forest up ahead, causing quite a commotion.
"King Yan, the monster slave seems to be in trouble," said one of the guards.
The elephant moved quickly. Unbeknownst to them, Lin Jin had been sitting on the creature's back this entire time. With something so convenient, there was no reason to waste his spirit energy on clouds.
With a little Carrier Cloud and Camouflage activated, as long as he avoided making sudden movements, the other party would never realize his presence.
