Zhang Qi had successfully led her group out of the estate. On the other side, Xiao Chen's group was even faster than Zhang Qi.
It could be said that after rescuing his mother, Bai Ruyue, Xiao Chen and the others did not encounter much resistance and smoothly rushed out of the Blood Wolf Palace. This was all thanks to Zhang Qi and the others.
It was precisely because Zhang Qi's group had caused such a great commotion in the dungeon that all the guards in the estate had rushed towards the dungeon. On the other hand, Xiao Chen's group seemed to have been forgotten. Xiao Chen naturally would not waste such a great opportunity. He allowed Bai Ruyue's group to rush out of the estate.
Not long after Xiao Chen's group left, a middle-aged man in black robes appeared in Bai Ruyue's courtyard. He spoke with a gloomy expression as he looked at the corpses of the two Dao Validation Realm guards at the entrance. "Dammit."
The middle-aged man was the Head Guard of the Mansion of Blood Wolf. He was a genuine super expert in the Tao Master Realm. After hearing about the riot in the dungeon, the middle-aged man did not rush to the dungeon but came here instead.
He knew very well how important Bai Ruyue was to the Bloodwolf King. So, even though the dungeon was in chaos, Bai Ruyue was clearly more important to him. However, he never expected that Bai Ruyue would actually be rescued.
The middle-aged man's eyes were overflowing with killing intent. He immediately shouted to the two Dao Kings behind him, "Quickly notify the guards at the four city gates. Tell them that it's the king's orders. No one is allowed to enter or leave immediately."
"Yes." The two Dao Kings nodded respectfully when they heard the middle-aged man's words. After that, they vanished on the spot.
Since Bai Ruyue had been rescued, it was even more reason to not allow these people to leave the city. As long as they were trapped in the Imperial Capital, the Bloodwolf King would naturally be able to find them with his ability.
After instructing the two of them, the middle-aged man ordered someone to head to the Celestial Equal Sect's encampment to inform the Bloodwolf King. As for himself, he personally rushed to the four city gates. As for the chaos in the underground prison, it was not worth mentioning in the eyes of the middle-aged man. The most important thing now was to find Bai Ruyue.
The Blood Wolf Mansion was in complete chaos, and Xiao Chen and the others were in a race against time. They had to escape from the Imperial Capital before the Blood Wolf King could react. Only then would they have a chance to return to the Moonless Empire.
While Xiao Chen and the others were heading straight for the East Gate, the atmosphere at the Tianqi Sect's encampment was extremely lively because Gu Qi had personally hosted the banquet. Almost all the influential figures in the Tianqi Sect's Imperial Capital were present.
As one of the four grand princes of the Heavenly Wolf Empire, the Bloodwolf King was naturally drinking to his heart's content at the banquet.
There was a happy smile on his face. However, although he was smiling on the surface, the Bloodwolf King felt that something was wrong tonight, as if something big was about to happen.
It was precisely because he felt that something was wrong that the Blood Wolf King actually wanted to leave. However, he didn't know why the Third Elder of the Celestial Equal Sect had been pulling him to drink all night. As such, the Blood Wolf King couldn't leave early.
The Third Elder had been drinking with the Bloodwolf King. This was naturally Gu Qi's order. Although he did not know what Gu Qi meant, the Third Elder had always obeyed Gu Qi's orders. Therefore, he did not have the slightest suspicion. The Third Elder had been by the Bloodwolf King's side for the entire night.
The more he drank, the more he felt that something was wrong. It had to be said that the Bloodwolf King was indeed a meticulous person. Coupled with the Third Elder's abnormal behavior today, the Bloodwolf King was even more puzzled. Therefore, the Bloodwolf King used the alcohol to say to the Third Elder, "Haha, Third Elder, please wait for a moment. I'll go and have a drink with His Majesty. We'll continue later."
Hearing the Bloodwolf King's words, the Third Elder could not stop him and nodded his head slightly.
After successfully asking the Third Elder, the Bloodwolf King quickly blended into the crowd. He silently exited the hall and headed straight for the Bloodwolf Royal Mansion.
He found an excuse to leave. Just as the Bloodwolf King walked out of the Tianqi Sect's encampment, a guard from the Bloodwolf Royal Mansion had just arrived. The two of them bumped into each other. When the guard saw the Bloodwolf King, he immediately told the Bloodwolf King about what happened in the mansion.
After hearing about the prison riot and how Bai Ruyue was taken away, the Bloodwolf King's face immediately sank. He quickly recalled the Third Elder's abnormal behavior today. In an instant, the Bloodwolf King seemed to have thought of something. However, it was obviously impossible for him to directly question Gu Qi. The Bloodwolf King immediately said to the guard, "Quick, take my token and inform the guards at the four city gates. Don't let anyone out of the city."
Gu Qi's banquet today had already made the Bloodwolf King feel strange. Now, he was even more certain that Gu Qi and Bai Ruyue's rescue were definitely related.
The Bloodwolf King immediately responded. Although he had already found out about this matter in the shortest amount of time, he also understood that it was probably too late to seal off the imperial city. After all, all the nobles and experts in the imperial city were currently drinking in the Tianqi Sect's encampment. As a result, the defense of the four city gates was naturally lax. It was very likely that the thieves had already broken into the city.
Realizing that it might be a step too late, the Bloodwolf King immediately took out a Sound Transmission Talisman and sent out dozens of messages.
These Sound Transmission Talismans were sent to the City Lords of the major cities around the imperial city. The orders on the talismans were very simple. All the City Lords were to close the heavy teleportation array and no one was to use it again.
Realizing that Xiao Chen and the rest had successfully escaped from the imperial city, the Bloodwolf King took a step back. Since the imperial city had been breached, he could not allow these thieves to leave the Heavenly Wolf Empire so easily. Without the teleportation array, it would not be easy for Xiao Chen and the rest to rush to the border of the Heavenly Wolf Empire.
They did not know that the Bloodwolf King had already made such strict arrangements in such a short period of time. In particular, he ordered the City Lords to close the teleportation array. This was equivalent to cutting off Xiao Chen and the rest's escape route.
While the Bloodwolf King was making arrangements, the eastern gate of the imperial city was also under attack. Facing the attack of Xiao Chen and the rest, the guards at the eastern gate could not hold on for long. They were quickly defeated and Xiao Chen and the rest successfully killed their way out of the eastern gate.
After successfully escaping from the imperial city, Xiao Chen and the rest quickly disappeared into the night. They had already planned their escape route. Not far from the imperial city, there was a city called Kingstown. There was a teleportation array there. Through the teleportation array, Xiao Chen and the rest could directly reach the border of the Heavenly Wolf Empire.
