A soldier was accompanying them and was keeping watch from a distance.
Seeing them appear, he hurriedly said, "The two corpse transport officials have already descended the mountain. I will go ahead and watch. If they turn back, I'll signal to you, and you can slowly follow down."
"Alright."
After the soldier finished speaking, he quickly descended the mountain first.
Ye Qichi and Xiao Jinxing moved a bit slower, following down the mountain.
It seemed that the two corpse transport officials were truly frightened, as no signal came from them along the way.
Ye Qichi and Xiao Jinxing arrived at the city gate without any trouble.
The soldiers guarding the city gate glanced at Ye Qichi and Xiao Jinxing, who were shrouded in darkness and hard to see clearly. One soldier asked, "Why so early today?!"
"There are many dead at the mass grave, and it's haunted, so we moved quickly," Ye Qichi replied in a subdued voice, using a coarse Yuzhou accent.
