After she looted a large number of supplies, Shen Yanxiao was finally ready to set off for the Forsaken Land.
She would have two months to gain a firm foothold in the Forsaken Land. The Longxuan Empire would send designated people for the construction work.
The Vermilion Bird hated carriages. Therefore, when Shen Yanxiao left the city, she did not ride with the carriages. The carriages and horses that Tang Nazhi found for her were delivered to the Longxuan Empire's border by the four beasts' servants. Shen Yanxiao and her pals had set off in advance. She would collect the horses and carriages when she arrived at the border.
The two Phoenixes were in their human forms when they were with Shen Yanxiao. All of them were on the Vermilion Bird as they flew to the Black City.
As they arrived at the Black City, Shen Yanxiao instructed the Vermilion Bird and Lan Fengli to pick up Uncle Nine and the other villagers while she went to Du Lang.
