Chapter 160 Escape from Death, Yan Guang Runs Away
"What do we do? Are we all going to be trapped here and die?"
"It's too high to climb!"
"Damn it! If I'd known it would be like this, I wouldn't have come to join this fun!"
"I never imagined that this trip would not only leave me with nothing, but also cost me my life..."
……
The crowd complained and cried out, each one saying their own opinion.
Even though they escaped the collapsed city unharmed, they still couldn't escape the crumbling underground world.
The four masters in the crowd looked at each other, filled with a sense of powerlessness.
Just when everyone thought they were about to be buried underground along with the ancient Northern Rong Kingdom, someone soon noticed that something was breaking out of the ground not far ahead.
"Look quickly -"
The middle-aged man looked in the direction of the sound and saw dark green vines intertwined and growing wildly upwards at a visible speed. In the blink of an eye, they grew to the thickness of a thigh and carved out a large hole in the solid soil above, big enough for several people to pass through.
As the long-awaited sunlight streamed through the cave entrance, many people were shocked and couldn't help but cry.
"Great!"
"Quickly climb out along these vines!"
"It's saved! We're saved!"
"Haha! Grandpa can go back to being a hero! I don't have to wait another eighteen years!"
Overjoyed and weeping, the crowd immediately rushed towards the vine ladder, each using their lightness skills to climb upwards at their fastest speed ever.
In this critical moment of escaping for one's life, identity becomes completely irrelevant. Whoever seizes the opportunity first and climbs a certain distance higher will have a greater chance of survival.
No one knew when the vines that suddenly sprouted from the ground would give way, so even low-ranking rogue cultivators would not show any deference to anyone during their escape.
Those with superior strength don't need to be modest at all. With their superb lightness skills, even if they climb the vines later than the others, they can still catch up with them easily.
Fortunately, the vine lasted long enough and was tough enough that it did not break or fall down, allowing everyone to escape to the ground.
Even though they had successfully escaped from underground, the group dared not relax for a moment, because the sand in the area was slowly sinking, and if they did not leave the area as soon as possible, they would still be in danger of falling back underground.
So, after returning to the ground, everyone immediately continued to leap and run towards the outer perimeter without even taking a breath.
It took almost the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before everyone was finally out of danger.
As the people who had escaped the collapse area gasped for breath, they turned back to look at the vast expanse of sand that had collapsed, forming a huge sand pit covering an area of nearly ten miles.
Jiang Yuchuan, who had helped them and created the vine ladder in their time of crisis, had already returned to Anhe City.
The reason Jiang Yuchuan saved these people was mainly because he was the one who caused the underground collapse. If he hadn't intervened, all of them would have perished underground today.
Although he wasn't a great philanthropist, he didn't want so many innocent people to lose their lives because of him. Moreover, among these people were disciples of the Baiyun Temple.
Both morally and logically, he should lend a helping hand.
After returning to Anhe City, Jiang Yuchuan took Yan Guang, who was still unconscious, into an inn and suddenly placed him in a guest room.
After doing everything, Jiang Yuchuan looked at Yan Guang, who was lying flat on the bed and fast asleep. He thought about it carefully, but in the end, he still did not erase the memory related to himself.
In his view, even if Yan Guang really guessed something, he wouldn't tell anyone.
Jiang Yuchuan did not wait for Yan Guang to wake up. After settling him in, he left Anhe City and flew towards Dali.
This trip to the desolate desert was a pleasant surprise, and we gained a lot.
After taking away the mysterious stone hidden in the statue, he could clearly sense that the desolate desert was no longer as silent as before, and a thin layer of spiritual energy had begun to slowly flow in.
Jiang Yuchuan felt that this mysterious stone was definitely more than it appeared on the surface, and might have some unexpected use for him!
After Jiang Yuchuan left, Yan Guang slept for another day and night before waking up.
Yan Guang slowly opened his eyes, still somewhat dazed, not realizing where he was or what was happening.
It wasn't until the scene of the palace hall collapsing and Jiang Yuchuan knocking him unconscious vaguely appeared in his mind that he suddenly snapped back to reality, sat up abruptly, and looked around.
"I'm in an inn?!"
After finding his bundle of gold and gems placed beside the bed, Yan Guang breathed a sigh of relief, then got up, opened the window, and looked down at the street.
Seeing that there weren't many people coming and going on the street, and that it was very peaceful and quiet, Yan Guang had a guess in his mind.
"It seems that group of people haven't returned yet..."
At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder what methods Jiang Yuchuan had used to bring him back to the ground unharmed while he was unconscious, and then place him in the inn at a speed far exceeding that of others.
Just then, the waiter knocked on Yan Guang's door.
Yan Guang quickly opened the door and asked the waiter about Jiang Yuchuan.
Only then did he learn from the waiter that Jiang Yuchuan had left after putting him down, and that he had been unconscious in the inn for two days and one night.
The reason the waiter knocked on his door at this moment was entirely due to Jiang Yuchuan's instructions before he left.
Upon hearing this, Yan Guang fell into deep thought after accepting the food brought by the waiter.
After carefully recalling the events leading up to his entry into the underground world, Yan Guang suddenly had a terrifying guess about Jiang Yuchuan's identity.
"No! Since the underground collapse is related to Young Master Jiang, we can no longer stay in this desolate desert!"
Although others might not necessarily connect all of this to his communication with Jiang Yu, it's better to be safe than sorry.
If some observant and intuitive people suspect the two of them about the underground collapse, Young Master Jiang won't be afraid. By then, they'll have vanished without a trace, and that would be troublesome for him!
Not to mention those major powers, there are many independent cultivators he can't afford to offend.
If Yan Guang wanted to ensure his safety in the days to come, then he had no choice but to make a hasty retreat!
As for where to go, Yan Guang already had a plan in mind.
Nowhere was the Great Qian Dynasty more suitable for him to hide from investigations and tracking of various forces than at this time.
Time is of the essence, so let's get started immediately!
After hastily shoveling down a few mouthfuls of food, Yan Guang immediately took his precious possession, bought a fast horse, and galloped out of Anhe City.
