311: Escape from Yizhou City

Nie Mingjue and Nan Qingyue carefully headed straight toward the bright light in the cave. However, the scene that met their eyes caused both of them to gasp in cold air.

"Seriously? What on earth was that thing just now? Why was it so terrifying?" Nan Qingyue's pupils constricted violently; she had just seen a monster.

A moment ago, a hairy monkey had appeared in the cave, but this monkey was extremely strange, to the point of being exasperating.

The monkey's eyes gleamed with a blood-red light, and it even radiated a powerful Evil Qi. It was hard not to gasp in shock.

"I don't know. I don't know what that thing was either!" Nie Mingjue's face darkened, and a cold glint erupted in his eyes.

The hairy monkey gave off a ferocious and sinister vibe, and, what's more, it had just been eating a person!

An eight-foot-tall man had actually been swallowed whole by the monkey.

Who was raising this monkey here, and what exactly was the keeper trying to do!

"Let's go quickly. It's too dangerous here; we shouldn't stay any longer." Nie Mingjue gasped, forcing himself to calm down.

Afterward, with a dark expression, he spoke those words.

Just then, Nan Qingyue's eyes lit up. She saw a beam of light; it seemed that was the way out of the cave.

"Look! Is that a way out? We're saved!" Nan Qingyue was overjoyed, her eyes brightening as she looked toward the place where the intense light was shining.

The intense light was right before them. If that spot was indeed the exit, then Nan Qingyue and Nie Mingjue would be saved.

However, Nan Qingyue felt even more uneasy; this was just wishful thinking on her part. If there was no exit where that light was, then the situation would be even worse.

Of course, Nan Qingyue did not want to see such a situation; she felt helpless. If there had been any other way, she naturally wouldn't have been like this.

"It looks like an exit. Let's go, hurry!" Nie Mingjue was overjoyed, covering the distance in a few strides toward where the light was.

Just then, Nan Qingyue pulled Nie Mingjue toward the bright light. Hope was right before them, and if things went well, they would certainly be able to get out through the tunnel.

However, would things really go so smoothly? Nan Qingyue felt uncertain and grew even more curious.

In this situation, Nan Qingyue had no other choice but to silently pray, hoping to find the tunnel's exit.

In the blink of an eye, Nan Qingyue and Nie Mingjue arrived before the exit. Nan Qingyue looked up, gazing at the beam of light within the cave, her eyes brightening as she revealed a long-lost smile.

"It's here! This is the exit!" Nan Qingyue was overjoyed, seeing the exit, the place that would allow them to leave.

"It's a good thing we found it; otherwise, we really would have been stuck here." Nie Mingjue gasped, trying his best to calm down.

Afterward, Nie Mingjue's reaction was quite swift; he stepped forward, moving past Nan Qingyue.

Just then, Nie Mingjue led Nan Qingyue out of the tunnel, and immediately, he stepped forward, exiting through the opening.

Nan Qingyue followed closely behind, and finally, she saw the long-awaited sunlight.

"Great, that's great! We've really escaped!" Nan Qingyue was overjoyed, her eyes shining.

At this moment, Nan Qingyue looked up, gazing at the vast sky. The sunlight shone upon her, and that warm feeling was truly comfortable.

Nan Qingyue was overjoyed; she had finally escaped death. It was fortunate that Mu Changan hadn't caught up; otherwise, both of them would have died here.

"Let's go. We need to find a place to rest and then find an opportunity to leave later." Nie Mingjue gasped and looked around.

Nie Mingjue discovered that there was no one else around and finally let out a sigh of relief; this place was relatively safe.

Inside Yizhou City, Mu Changan suddenly opened his eyes. He had just clearly sensed that Nan Qingyue and Nie Mingjue had vanished, as if they had disappeared into thin air.

"Strange. Why would they suddenly disappear? It's as if they never appeared at all?" Mu Changan's face darkened, and a cold glint erupted in his eyes.

Just then, Mu Changan looked around. His eyes lit up, and he stepped forward, heading straight to the place where Nan Qingyue and Nie Mingjue had just vanished.

In the blink of an eye, Mu Changan arrived at the deep alley, but after searching for a long time, he still could not find any trace of Nan Qingyue and Nie Mingjue. Consequently, Mu Changan grew even more curious.

"The two of them were here, but they only left a trace of Spiritual Qi, and now they can't be found at all. What on earth is this? What method did these two use to leave?" Mu Changan's face darkened, and a cold glint erupted in his eyes.

Mu Changan was even more curious; he didn't understand what was going on. However, for two living people like Nan Qingyue and Nie Mingjue to just vanish like that was truly too strange.

"I've really been played. I haven't even gotten the whereabouts of Mr. Li out of them, and now these two have vanished without a trace.

This is truly frustrating! What a troublesome matter!"

Mu Changan let out a long sigh, feeling helpless. Now, with a furrowed brow, he sat quietly in place, wondering what he was thinking about.

After a long while, Mu Changan's eyes lit up. A spark of inspiration flashed through his mind, and judging by his expression, he seemed to have some ideas.

Immediately, Mu Changan sneered. He turned back, his bright eyes looking more determined.

"Run if you want. The monk can run, but the temple can't. I don't believe you two won't return to the inn. Young Master Li is at the inn, after all; you two will definitely come back." Mu Changan chuckled, and after thinking of this, the corners of his mouth curled into a sinister smile.

Mu Changan had come for Young Master Li in the first place, but if he couldn't find Young Master Li, then he wouldn't be able to learn about Baiyi Luos Tomb. If that happened, all of Mu Changan's efforts would be in vain, which was truly frustrating.

After losing Nan Qingyue and Nie Mingjue, Mu Changan's thoughts were clear as he turned and headed straight for the inn.

As long as Young Master Li was at the inn, Nan Qingyue and Nie Mingjue would definitely return. These two would not just abandon Young Master Li and leave on their own!

"Fine, you two little brats. I'll just wait for you slowly. I hope you two won't disappoint me." Mu Changan's face darkened, and a cold glint erupted in his eyes.

Mu Changan tapped his toes lightly and soared into the air. He headed forward, landed on a rooftop, and then turned to leave in the direction of the inn.

At this moment, outside Yizhou City, after Nan Qingyue and Nie Mingjue left the city, they did not feel at ease; they were still very worried.

Young Master Li was still at the inn. If Mu Changan found Young Master Li, it would be even more dangerous for him. Perhaps Mu Changan would vent his rage on Young Master Li; if that really happened, Nan Qingyue would feel even more guilty.

"What do we do now? We can't just leave Young Master Li alone at the inn; it's clearly not safe for him." Nie Mingjue's face darkened; he was worried.

"Of course we can't leave Master alone at the inn. I already have a plan, so don't worry." Nan Qingyue's mouth curled, and she showed a smirk.

In fact, Nan Qingyue had long had an idea; she wanted to take Nie Mingjue and leave Yizhou City first. Afterward, she would wait for Mu Changan to leave the inn before quietly taking Young Master Li away. This was the way to let Young Master Li safely survive this crisis.

However, what surprised Nan Qingyue even more was that Nie Mingjue actually knew of a tunnel, and through this tunnel, one could actually go directly from Yizhou to outside the city. Once they had this tunnel, Nan Qingyue could even better ensure that they could take Young Master Li out of Yizhou City without anyone knowing.

"Then what is your plan?" Nie Mingjue was even more curious; he turned back to look at Nan Qingyue.

Of course, at this moment, Nie Mingjue hoped even more that Nan Qingyue would have a better plan, as only then could they have complete certainty in rescuing Young Master Li. Nie Mingjue valued Young Master Li's life more than his own.

Now, Nie Mingjue's goal was to rescue Young Master Li; he had to take Young Master Li away safely.

"Of course!" Nan Qingyue's mouth curled, and she showed a smirk. "As long as we leave the inn while Mu Changan is resting, that will be our opportunity!"

"If Mu Changan isn't there, we'll seize this opportunity to take Young Master Li and leave. In this way, not only can we survive, but we can also save Young Master Li!"

"This is the result I want!" When Nan Qingyue said this, the corners of her mouth curled into a smug smile.

If they had followed Nie Mingjue's previous plan, they might not have saved anyone, and instead, both of them would have died there. Nan Qingyue did not want to see such a result.

"Brilliant, brilliant! In this way, not only can we save Young Master Li! But we can also survive." Nie Mingjue was overjoyed, his eyes brightening as he revealed a smile.

Just then, Nan Qingyue smiled slightly. She looked up and gazed at the vast sky. Now, Nan Qingyue and Nie Mingjue were waiting for a timing, which was when it got dark.

It worked out perfectly; Nan Qingyue and Nie Mingjue could take advantage of the darkness to head straight to the inn from the deep alley once again and quietly rescue Young Master Li. In this way, they could successfully take Young Master Li away.

"Alright, then we will act tonight. As the saying goes, long delays lead to more problems, so we must be as quick as possible." Nie Mingjue's face darkened; when he said these words, he felt a bit of unease in his heart.
