Chapter 289 Leaving the City
At this point, Ye Chunyang could only make a bet. No matter whether Mu Ling'er sincerely helped or not, it was easier to deal with her alone than to face the masters of two factions alone.
Mu Ling'er smiled and said, "Fellow Taoist, don't worry too much. Since the little girl agreed to help you get out of the city, she will naturally not frame you."
After saying that, she turned around and turned a vase on the windowsill.
There were a few crisp sounds of "click" and "click", and the stone shelves on the wall suddenly separated to both sides.
A dark and deep secret passage with no end visible at a glance appeared.
"This secret path can lead directly to the city gate. Fellow Taoist, just come with me."
As Mu Ling'er spoke, she took the first step into the secret passage.
Ye Chunyang was slightly shocked. He didn't expect that the Mu family actually cultivated such a secret path in the Hanging City. It seemed that this immortal cultivating family was not as simple as it seemed.
They are doing business on the surface, but this secret passage will never be used to transport goods. Instead, it is more like leaving a back-up for certain things.
Thinking in his mind, Ye Chunyang took a deep breath and immediately followed him into the secret passage.
Although I don’t know much about the Mu family and Mu Ling’er, this is not the time to go into details. It is most important to leave Hanging City as soon as possible.
The secret passage leads directly to the ground. It is obviously dug from the Mu Family Chamber of Commerce to the outside of the city. Although it is dark inside, Ye Chunyang has also detected it with his spiritual consciousness. There is nothing abnormal in it. It is just that the Mu Family secretly opened a secret passage in the Hanging City. I'm afraid it has another purpose.
Holding the moonstone and walking in front, Mu Ling'er said with some doubts: "Speaking of which, the little girl is very curious. How could my fellow Taoist have provoked the Qiankun Sword Sect and the Wutian Sect to pursue him only half a year after he came to Beimai? With the strength of these two factions, even if my Mu family is second-rate, I would not dare to provoke them easily. I am afraid that fellow Taoist would be in a bad situation if we go against them. "
Ye Chunyang remained silent.
After condensing for a moment, he asked instead of answering: "As the darling of the Mu family, Fairy knows a lot about these two factions. Can you tell me something?"
A few rays of dark light flashed across Mu Ling'er's eyes, and she naturally heard that Ye Chunyang didn't want to answer the question of the two factions' pursuit, which made her even more curious about it.
But she also knew that with Ye Chunyang's deep thoughts, since she didn't want to explain, she would not get the result no matter how much she asked.
Immediately, Mu Ling'er smiled and said: "Qiankun Sword Sect and Wutian Sect have a long history, and there are many masters in the sect. Each sect has at least two or three masters in the pill formation stage. The strength is that of my Mu family. Slightly inferior.”
"I didn't expect that there were so many masters of pill formation among these two factions." Ye Chunyang felt solemn in his heart.
"That's right." Mu Ling'er nodded and said, "It is said that the cultivation of the leaders of these two sects has reached the middle stage of pill formation, with vast magical powers and amazing magical power."
Although he had expected it, Ye Chunyang was still shocked when he heard what Mu Ling'er said. The strength of these two factions was far beyond his imagination. It was difficult for him to compete alone, and Wutianmen seemed to be brewing secretly. If certain conspiracies and conflicts between the two factions cannot be resolved, the future situation will be extremely unfavorable.
Ye Chunyang was worried in his heart. Although with his abilities, the other party would never catch him easily even if he was wanted. But he had caused such trouble, so he might have to find another place to practice.
Fortunately, the North Meridian is so big that no matter how powerful the two factions are, they will never be able to cover the sky with just one hand. After this trip, they will make new long-term plans.
While walking along the secret passage, Ye Chunyang looked ahead.
This passage is quite wide and can accommodate ten people walking side by side. The Mu family may not be building this secret passage just for escape.
And as far as he knew, although the Mu family was not as powerful as the Qiankun Sword Sect and Wutian Clan, their background was not comparable to that of ordinary cultivating families. This passage might be used by them to secretly gather forces.
Seeming to see the doubts in his heart, Mu Ling'er smiled and explained: "This passage is used by our Mu family to collect intelligence, and for safety reasons, secret treasures will also be transported here. Therefore, in addition to the core members of the Mu family , Others don’t know the secret path here, so fellow Taoists can rest assured when they leave from here.”
Ye Chunyang frowned. When he got here, he already trusted Mu Ling'er seven points, but he still had doubts in his heart. He said, "Fairy Mu is secretly helping me, aren't you afraid that the two factions will find out?"
Mu Linger paused, looked back at him, and then continued walking forward.
"This trip is secret, they will definitely not find out, so don't worry, fellow Taoist." Mu Ling'er chuckled and said, "Besides, although the two factions are powerful, they don't dare to easily embarrass my Mu family."
Ye Chunyang raised his eyebrows slightly, and when he asked this question, he naturally had some probing meaning. However, Mu Ling'er dared to say this. It seems that the Mu family is not an ordinary business family, and its strength should not be underestimated.
He couldn't help but think deeply. If Mu Ling'er dared to take the risk to secretly send him out of the city, if he really wanted to help, he would be grateful, but if he had ulterior motives, he would never be merciful.
Seeing Ye Chunyang standing silently, Mu Ling'er also smiled and said nothing.
The two of them were walking and chatting. During this period, Mu Ling'er also made insinuations many times, wanting to know why Ye Chunyang provoked the two sects.
Although on the surface, it was because he killed Zhuge Yu and the Protector Xiahou Zhi of Wutian Clan, her intuition told her that there must be a hidden secret in this matter, and even some shocking inside story.
Naturally, Ye Chunyang would not tell her that he had provoked two sects. One was because he accidentally pried into the secret of Wutian Clan, and the other was because of the treasures in the Ancient Demon Cave. He knew that with these two items, these two sects would not let her go easily. If you want to pass him, you must find ways to improve your cultivation as soon as possible, otherwise there is no guarantee that they will find you one day.
"It seems that after going out this time, I need to plan how to advance to the mana stage. If I can cultivate mana, I can protect myself even if the masters of the two sects come to me." Ye Chunyang thought secretly.
Under this pressure, it is really difficult to compete with the opponent with the cultivation of the late stage of foundation building alone. Only by cultivating mana as soon as possible can I protect myself.
Mu Linger said at this time: "Daoyou can compete with the two sects with your own strength. I really admire you. But Zhuge Yu died in your hands. Feng Qingzi, the old monster, is searching for your traces all over the world. This old monster has not appeared for many years. Now he is making such a big fuss for his beloved disciple. Daoyou should be careful when you go out this time."
She seemed to speak intentionally or unintentionally, but there was already a bit of concern in her words.
"Thank you for the reminder, Fairy. Actually, I was forced to clash with these two sects. If they hadn't pressed me step by step, I wouldn't have had to do this."
Ye Chunyang sighed with a wry smile. The Qiankun Sword Sect and Wutian Sect were quite powerful. He had never thought of competing with them, but he was not a soft persimmon that could be bullied by others. Since the other party had gone too far, he would always fight back.
Mu Linger was stunned. She could see that Ye Chunyang was not an arrogant person who liked to stir up trouble. He would definitely not provoke these two sects. In this situation, there must be some unknown secrets hidden in it.
And Zhuge Yu was not an ordinary person, but he ended up being killed. There must be some twists and turns in the process.
But the other party never mentioned it, which made her helpless.
"Forgive me for speaking frankly. The Qiankun Sword Sect and the Wutian Sect are not ordinary sects. They have spies throughout the entire northern vein. Although I can escort you for a while today, you will still be in danger after leaving the city. What are your plans for the future?"
Mu Linger paused and looked back at Ye Chunyang, her eyes revealing deepness. She said, "When I first met you, I felt that you were extraordinary. Moreover, as a casual cultivator, it is not easy for you to cultivate to the late stage of foundation building alone. It is not wise to confront the two sects head-on. It is better to find a place to settle down after you go out and escape for the time being."
Her words were not responded to.
The light in the secret passage was dim. The moonstone separated the two people. The faint fluorescence shone on Ye Chunyang's face. There was no trace of emotional fluctuations. The scene was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
The two looked at each other calmly. After a moment, Ye Chunyang sneered and said, "Of course I have to escape, but it depends on how I escape. As the saying goes, barefoot people are not afraid of those wearing shoes. I am alone and can go anywhere in the world, but it is unlikely that I can escape from the North Pulse with my tail between my legs."
Mu Linger looked at Ye Chunyang up and down after hearing this.
If it were someone else, she would definitely sneer at this remark, but for some reason, it seemed to be very firm when he said it, which made her understand his unyielding character better.
After looking at Ye Chunyang a few more times, she nodded, and everything was self-evident.
"Don't worry, fellow Taoist, this secret passage will not be discovered by others, and since I have agreed to help you get out of the city, I will naturally keep my mouth shut about this matter, and others will never know your whereabouts."
Mu Linger said firmly, lit up the moonstone and continued to lead the way.
Ye Chunyang didn't say much. No matter whether Mu Ling'er was trustworthy or not, he had followed her here. He could only take one step at a time. Unless the other party really had some conspiracy, he would not act secretly.
Moreover, he was secretly calculating his future direction. He would not be stupid enough to really compete with the two factions, but even if he had to hide, he should not be under the power of the other party. That was not his character.
Although they had their own thoughts, during the chat, Ye Chunyang found that Mu Ling'er seemed to have no ill intentions. It seemed that she was really helping him to leave the city. The doubts in his heart were gradually dispelled.
And Mu Ling'er also knew that Ye Chunyang didn't want to talk more about the conflict between the two factions. She didn't ask more questions along the way. She just chatted casually. Although she had tried to explore Ye Chunyang's origin and background, he cleverly avoided them.
When Ye Chunyang was secretly planning, a ray of light appeared in front of him. It turned out that the secret path had reached the end.
Mu Linger waved her hand and opened a restriction on the stone wall. After a few loud rumbling noises, a stone door opened in front of her, and she walked out with Ye Chunyang.
After walking out of the secret passage, Ye Chunyang looked around and found that this place was actually a dilapidated temple, with broken walls everywhere, no different from ruins.
It seems that the Mu family chose such an inconspicuous place to hide the secret passage.
"It's one mile south from here to get out of the city, Taoist friend, follow me." Mu Linger said, and after covering the stone door, she was the first to leave the dilapidated temple.
Ye Chunyang looked back and saw that this place was indeed far away from the trading venue, and the city gate was not far ahead. Without saying anything, he followed Mu Linger forward.
