It's only a day or two ahead of schedule now, so time is tight, but the things at hand can still be handled completely.
The next day, Fang Ruotang activated the protective array at the Xishan military camp. When she returned, her hands and feet were weak, and it felt as if all the spiritual energy in her body had been drained.
