Chapter 675: Running Away

In the capital of the Dayuan Empire, the Tang family members also entered the city after receiving Qi Xiong's order.

Although the surrounding troops were all from the Dayuan Empire along the way, the Tang family members did not encounter any danger.

After all, the emperor, the patriarch, and the entire civil and military officials are currently in their hands, so these troops dare not act arbitrarily.

They arrived at the Huánggōng and saw Qi Xiong and others lounging leisurely in the rear garden, while the Dayuan Empire's civil and military officials and the emperor stood nearby, their faces dark as iron, their cultivation sealed.

This.........

Such a scene made Tang Yao's mouth twitch involuntarily, as if he truly regarded this place as his own home.

Qi Zongzhu.

You've come; did you encounter any danger?

We didn't encounter any danger, but what should we do next? How do we retreat?

The plan succeeded, but how are we to retreat?

When the Dayuan Empire's several hundred thousand troops and the seven Great Saints return, it will become troublesome.

Tang Yao felt somewhat uneasy, mainly because Qi Xiong and the others had gone too far; in his view, this was essentially a tightrope act.

You cannot escape; I will definitely not let you go.

Not far away, the Dayuan emperor, hearing Tang Yao's words, spoke viciously.

Having just awakened, he learned that he was missing a kidney, and he nearly fainted again.

With my kidney gone, what am I to do from now on?

However, before his tirade finished, Wanxiang beside him slapped him across the face.

Shut up.

You're already a prisoner, yet you're still so arrogant; if it weren't for the sect master and the others not allowing it, I would have killed you long ago, damn it, and then it wouldn't just be a matter of a missing kidney.

Gnashing his teeth in hatred, the Dayuan emperor seethed.

As for Qi Xiong, he didn't care about the Dayuan emperor's tirade; he merely glanced at him indifferently and then ignored him.

Just now, we forcibly compelled the Dayuan emperor and the civil and military officials to swear a heavenly oath, vowing never to disturb the Dawu Empire again.

This also counts as resolving Lin Luochen's rear worries.

Naturally, the Dayuan people were unwilling, but with their lives in others' hands, they had no right to refuse and could only comply.

What are you panicking about? When the time comes, there will naturally be a way to leave.

Looking at Tang Yao's constipated expression, Qi Xiong chuckled and said.

The method of withdrawal has long been planned; there's no need for Tang Yao to worry about it.

Hearing that, Tang Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, a Xiǎnyǐng zhèn pán beside Qi Xiong suddenly lit up.

This belongs to the Dayuan emperor; I don't know who contacted him.

Huh.........

Curiously connecting the formation, a Formation Light Curtain appeared, revealing an extremely overbearing and gorgeous woman.

The woman's eyes were bright, filled with an aristocratic aura.

Seeing Qi Xiong within the formation, she seemed not at all surprised, merely saying coldly.

Who are you?

And who are you?

Former emperor, save me.........

At this moment, the Dayuan emperor suddenly shouted, this woman turned out to be Mu Feiyu, emperor of the Tianyu Dynasty and the sole female emperor of Zhongzhou.

She has ruled the Tianyu Dynasty for many years, once leading it to an unprecedented height, second only to the Three Holy Lands.

The Dayuan Empire is essentially a vassal state of the Tianyu Dynasty, needing to offer substantial resources to the Tianyu Dynasty each year.

This is why the Dayuan emperor ultimately sought aid from Mu Feiyu.

Hearing the Dayuan emperor's plea for help, Mu Feiyu's expression was displeased, yet her tone remained calm as she said.

It seems the people are indeed in your hands; speak, how will you agree to release them?

Just saying a few words through a Formation Light Curtain, as if that counts as releasing them?

If I were to come in person, none of you would be able to leave.

Mu Feiyu said indifferently, and it seemed to be a fact at a glance.

While the two were speaking, neither noticed that Yu Mo's complexion beside them had turned extraordinarily strange.

Meanwhile, Wang Man and Yuan Cang beside him also wore equally strange expressions at this time.

Old coot, this woman isn't........... isn't............

Shh.

He quickly gestured for the two to be quiet, never expecting to encounter this woman here, damn it, and Yu Mo felt a headache coming on.

When he was young, Yu Mo had come to Zhongzhou for training, and it was then that he met Mu Feiyu.

At that time, Mu Feiyu was not yet the emperor of the Tianyu Dynasty.

During their joint training, they secretly developed feelings for each other.

However, this woman has always been extremely ambitious; at that time, the Tianyu Dynasty's old emperor had little lifespan left, and it was a period of imperial succession.

And Mu Feiyu, as a top-tier female cultivator, defeated all her brothers and sisters in succession in the struggle for the throne.

Moreover, her methods were ruthless; anyone who could threaten her was eliminated by her using various means.

During that period, Yu Mo also lent her a hand several times.

However, this woman was too overbearing; after ascending the throne, she actually wanted Yu Mo to become her imperial consort.

Even when Yu Mo refused, this madman directly imprisoned him in the Huánggōng.

After finally thinking of a way to escape, Yu Mo just slipped away—can't afford to provoke her, really can't afford to provoke her.

Thinking back to all sorts of things from his youth, Yu Mo involuntarily felt a chill on the back of his neck; he truly didn't want any further involvement with that crazy woman.

At this moment, Qi Xiong had already ended the formation; it looked like they had parted on bad terms.

Seeing that, Yu Mo immediately spoke up.

Let's go, prepare to withdraw.

Huh???

In such a hurry?

Qi Xiong was somewhat puzzled; just a moment ago everything was fine, so why suddenly want to run away now?

Hearing that, Yu Mo couldn't be bothered to explain and spoke bluntly.

Cut the nonsense, just withdraw.

Since that crazy woman has already come to our door, if we don't run now, when else would we wait for?

Alright.

Seeing the martial uncle so resolute, Qi Xiong nodded.

Afterward, under the leadership of that old ancestor from the imperial clan, the group found one of the teleportation arrays inside the palace.

The Deep Abyss Palace has so many teleportation arrays that escaping wouldn't be difficult, so from the start the group never worried about the withdrawal issue.

Are you sure this teleportation array goes to Abundant Prefecture?

The territory of the Human Race in Zhongzhou is divided into thirty-six prefectures, each prefecture's area being extremely large.

Abundant Prefecture is a prefecture far from the Heavenly Feather Dynasty, and it lies in the completely opposite direction from the Heavenly Feather Dynasty.

Faced with Yu Mo's inquiry, that old ancestor from the imperial clan nodded with a grim face.

Then that's good.

Martial Uncle, what's wrong with you?

Seeing Yu Mo anxiously wanting to leave, Qi Xiong and the others curiously asked Yuan Cang and Wang Man.

Hearing that, the two held back their laughter and replied.

Ran into an old lover.

An old lover? That woman just now?

Yeah.

Martial Uncle, you're impressive—there are old lovers all over Zhongzhou.

Nobody expected Yu Mo to have such a past; disciples like Ye Zhangqing, Zhao Zhengping, Xu Jie, and others were even more curious.

Before Yuan Cang and Wang Man could say more, Yu Mo had already activated the teleportation array and urged them on.

I'm asking, are you coming or not?

Old ancestor, just seeing an old lover, there's no need to be so tense.

Xu Jie was speaking with a smile, but the next second Yu Mo kicked him straight into the formation.

Cut the nonsense, go in.
