Yanshi was shocked. He thought to himself, That was fast! This was the first time he had a good impression of this manager. He smiled and said, "We're not afraid of any inspection. It's just a little troublesome. Thank you for informing me. This is for you. "With that, he took out two purple coins and tossed them to the manager. The manager immediately beamed, and the unhappy expression on his face disappeared. He said in a low voice, "Sir, don't worry. Our boss has a strong backing. In Sunset City, who doesn't know of our One Heart Inn's reputation? I believe those soldiers won't dare to do anything. When they come here later, I'll think of a way to make them take care of you. Everyone who could stay here had their own secrets. Naturally, we can't let those soldiers know. As long as you give those poor bastards some benefits, they shouldn't make things difficult for them. “
Hearing the manager's words, Yanshi relaxed a little. He took out his savings card and handed it over, saying, "That's right! People like us are most afraid of dealing with the government. Go and take out a thousand gold coins. I know what to do when those soldiers come. If they don't search here, I'll give you some benefits. I'm never stingy with my friends. “
Hearing Yanshi's words, the manager's eyes lit up. He took the savings card and ran out excitedly. Yanshi quickly went to the other two rooms and called Dumb, Zhuo Yun, and Xing'Er together.
"Miss Zhuo Yun, Princess Xing'Er, when those people come to search, you must be careful. Don't expose your identities. Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to escape Sunset City. Dumb, if those soldiers discover Princess Xing'Er and Miss Zhuo Yun's elven identities, you must act immediately. We must kill everyone who enters, then think of a way to leave Sunset City. "
Sure enough, it was just as the manager said. After a while, dozens of fully armed soldiers entered the VIP building and searched every room without letting up. When they arrived at Dumb's room, Yanshi hurriedly handed over the gold coins he had prepared. Although the leader of the soldiers took the gold coins, he still confirmed their numbers before leaving. Of course, he didn't search them for the sake of the money. After the soldiers left, the group relaxed.
Dumb watched the soldiers leave from the window and let out a long breath. "Looks like we'll have to stay here for a while. I wonder how long Sunset City will be under lockdown." They waited for a month. What they didn't know was that in this one month, not only did they avoid the Sunset Empire's search, but they also escaped the assassin union's pursuit.
Two days after the attack on the Sunset Empire's palace, Mie Yi and the others arrived at Sunset City. After receiving some news from the guards at the city gates, Mie Yi felt that the attack on the Sunset Empire's palace was carried out by Dumb and the others. Since it had been two days, they must have left. Moreover, Sunset City was under strict lockdown, so they couldn't get any specific information. After waiting outside the city for ten days, they left Sunset City to report to the leader of the assassin's union.
After His Lord received the news, he felt that there was something fishy about this matter, so he ordered Mie Yi and the others to return to the headquarters to observe the situation before making a decision. The nobles of the Sunset Empire had been tormented by Dumb and the others for more than a year. All the dark forces were affected to varying degrees. Now, the assassin's union's business was much weaker than before. Their top priority was to kill Dumb, the god of death, so the assassin's union's reputation would reach unprecedented heights. At this time, Sunset City's lockdown was lifted after a month.
Yanshi cautiously waited for another three days before the five of them left One Heart Inn. They had spent more than 100,000 gold coins here.
Although Sunset City's lockdown was lifted, the city gates were still heavily guarded. When they arrived at the city gates, they saw hundreds of soldiers constantly inspecting passersby. They couldn't help but stop. After observing for a while, they were surprised to find that these soldiers couldn't be bribed. No matter who entered or left Sunset City, they would be strictly inspected. Even some nobles were not spared.
Dumb whispered to Yanshi, "Big Brother, what do we do now? We can't wait any longer. Princess Xing 'er's Elven King Bloodline is getting weaker by the day. If we wait any longer, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on much longer. " When Xing 'er was in the Sunset Empire's palace, she had been tested by Binluoge's magic, which greatly weakened her Elven King Bloodline. It was no longer able to hold on for three years like Queen Of Elves had said. After discovering this problem, their originally relaxed mood became tense. They had been thinking of a way to leave for the past few days.
Yan Li said in a low voice, "If we can't do it, let's just rush out. I don't believe that these soldiers can stop us. As long as we leave this place, they won't be able to catch us."
Yanshi shook his head. "No, we can't do it unless we have no other choice. It's not just the Sunset Empire that wants to catch us. There's also the assassin's union that's hiding in the shadows. If we force our way out, our identities will definitely be exposed. At that time, we'll become the target of everyone. Sunset City is at the westernmost part of the continent. There's still a long way to go before we reach their eastern border. If our identities are exposed, we'll face even more difficulties. Dumb, do you have any good ideas? "
Dumb shook his head. "Right now, the most important problem is that sister Zhuo Yun and sister Xing 'er's identities cannot be exposed. Their identities as elves can be easily discovered. If they can escape, then it'll be easy for us. As long as I hide the Hell King's Sword, then we won't have to worry about them searching for us."
After a month of interaction, Xing 'er had already become familiar with Dumb and the other two. Due to the hardships she had experienced in the past year, Xing' er was much more restrained than when she was in the Elven Forest. Due to the weakening of the Elven King's bloodline, her body was also getting weaker. She didn't speak much, and only Zhuo Yun was by her side. Of Dumb's trio, the one that left the deepest impression on her was Dumb. When they first rescued her, Dumb was the first one to appear. Every time she recalled the time when she threw herself into Dumb's embrace, Xing 'er couldn't help but blush. Her heart was like a deer that couldn't calm down. Now that she saw how difficult it was to leave the city, she sighed softly and said, "It's all my fault. I've implicated everyone."
Zhuo Yun grabbed Xing 'er's shoulder and said gently, "Princess, don't worry. He gently said, "Princess, don't worry. They are all very capable and will definitely be able to bring us out. We're going home. For the past two years, I've missed our City of Elves just like you! "
After hearing Zhuo Yun's words, Yanshi's heart warmed up and he secretly swore. No matter what, he had to bring everyone out of here safely.
Dumb suddenly lifted his head and revealed a determined gaze. He said, "Big Brother, how about this. Tonight, we'll climb over the city walls and rush out. When the time comes, I'll attract the attention of the guards from the east side of the city walls. You guys can take the opportunity to sneak out from the north side. After that, we'll meet up at the place where the thief lady attacked us. "
Yanshi frowned and said, "No, it's too risky. The reason why we were able to successfully rescue the Princess that day was mainly because of the Queen's forbidden spell. The main reason was because the Queen's forbidden spell had trapped a large number of guards. After all, this is the Sunset Empire's Imperial City. The security here is tight and the power here is immense. It's not something you can imagine. It's very likely that the situation in the Dark City will happen again. How can I be at ease? Brother. Let's think of another way. I can't let you take the risk every time! "
Dumb said in a deep voice, "No, Big Brother. Let's do as I say. Sister Xing 'er's body is getting weaker and weaker. I'm afraid her Elven King's bloodline won't last much longer. Do you want us to waste all our efforts? We don't have much time. This is the only way to cover your escape. How can my life be more important than the lives of all the elves? It's decided. We'll take action tonight. "
Yanshi opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he hesitated. In the end, he could only nod his head helplessly.
That night, Dumb sneaked to the east gate alone. He touched the Hell King's Sword on his chest and secretly sighed. Perhaps, he would have to use it again tonight. Once he uses the Hell King's Sword, he doesn't know how many soldiers will die under the monstrous Evil Qi. Are those soldiers as evil as their ruler? They also have families. How can I let the Hell King's Sword absorb their souls? Sighing again, Dumb put down his right hand from his chest. He had already decided that even if he was in danger tonight, he would not use the Hell King's Sword. When he woke up from the Hell King's Sword's evil aura, he had already made up his mind that unless he could prove that the enemy was an evil person, he would not use the Hell King's Sword.
Thinking of this, Dumb floated up and landed on top of the city wall. With the help of the solidified energy, he climbed up to the top of the city wall in a few leaps.
Ever since the attack on the palace, the defense of Sunset City had increased a lot. The moment Dumb appeared, he met a team of about a hundred patrolling soldiers. When the soldiers saw the black clothed man suddenly appear, they were stunned for a moment before they reacted. Shouting, they rushed towards Dumb.
How could these normal soldiers be in Dumb's eyes? He snorted and his body glowed with a white light. He heavily punched the ground three meters in front of him. With a loud bang, a sizable gap appeared on the city wall. The soldiers at the front were immediately injured by the flying debris and fell. A few who were eager to show off didn't stop in time and fell into the gap.
Dumb came here to attract the attention of the patrolling soldiers. He laughed loudly and put his hands behind his back, waiting for the patrolling soldiers to catch him.
Dumb's performance attracted a large number of Sunset Empire soldiers. Arrows flew towards Dumb like locusts. Dumb used his fighting energy and set up a thin layer of fighting energy around his body. The arrows couldn't break through his defense.
In the dark corner of the north wall, a thousand meters away, Yanshi kept an eye on the movements of the soldiers. Seeing a large number of soldiers gather in Dumb's direction, Yanshi knew it was time to act. Taking advantage of the gap when they rushed past a team of soldiers, the four of them quietly jumped up to the top of the city wall. Before the next team of soldiers arrived, they successfully jumped over the wall.
Dumb didn't know that Yanshi and the others had left so quickly. He was still resisting the attacks of the soldiers. Suddenly, more than ten figures flew out from behind the soldiers and pounced towards him. Dumb's heart skipped a beat. He knew that the Sunset Empire's experts had arrived. In terms of movement skills, these people weren't weak, but they weren't strong enough to pose a threat to him. Now, other than the one-meter radius around him, he had already destroyed all the walls around him to avoid being besieged. He took a deep breath and conjured a yellow-green shield in each of his hands. He stood proudly on the "island" on top of the city wall. More than ten figures rushed in front of Dumb under the illumination of fighting energy of different colors. Dumb fearlessly used the solid energy shield in his hands to resist their attacks. The rumbling sounds of fighting energy colliding could be heard continuously, forming beautiful colors on the top of the city wall. No matter who it was, as long as they hit his defense circle, they would be sent flying by the energy.
On one side, Dumby was resisting the attacks of these experts, while on the other side, he was constantly adjusting the True Qi in his body. The continuous use of True Qi made his True Qi consumption very fast. He had to constantly circulate the vital energy in order to sustain it. He was at a high point, so the surrounding experts from the Sunset Empire couldn't continuously attack him. In a short period of time, they couldn't hurt him at all.
Suddenly, a surge of blue battle energy surged forth. It didn't attack Dumby, but the city wall that Dumby was standing on. Dumby was startled. He knew very well that once the city wall under his feet was broken, he would not be able to escape. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to defend it anymore. He panicked. He hurriedly conjured a white wave of Battle Energy to attack. However, his impeccable defense also revealed a flaw. A red and a yellow wave of Battle Energy surged forward and went straight for the gap that Dumby revealed. Dumb roared, "Inescapable Net!" The yellow-green net of light quickly spread out with him as the center, and all the attacking fighting energy around him was instantly reduced to nothingness.
Although the attack power of the Inescapable Net was strong, its biggest weakness was that the solid fighting energy that it sent out could not be recalled. After using the Inescapable Net once, Dumb's strength immediately decreased by 20%. He knew that he couldn't hold on much longer. The large use of fighting energy had consumed more than 70% of the vital energy in his body. If he persisted, he wouldn't have any chance of escaping. He thought to himself, It's already been a long time. Brother Yanshi and the others should have already escaped. It's time for me to leave as well. Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated. His feet touched the ground, and like a big bird, he floated out of the city and landed outside. As soon as he left the top of the city, the place where he was just standing had already been turned into dust by the surging fighting energy. At this moment, a fire dragon with its claws and fangs chased from behind. The scorching energy went straight for Dumb in the air. It was the Sunset Empire's Magicians. A few Fire Element Archmages jointly used this attack that was close to the seventh level. It immediately posed a huge threat to Dumb. Dumb was in the air and had nowhere to hide. He could only grit his teeth and use a giant shield to protect his back.
Although the shield was the nemesis of all magic, the huge impact formed by the fire dragon still hurt Dumb's internal organs when it collided with the energy shield. There was a loud bang, and countless sparks splashed in the air, like colorful fireworks in a festival. Dumb's body shook, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Using the impact of the magic, he quickly fell out of the city. A cool breeze blew. Just when Dumb thought he was out of danger, a green figure flew towards him like lightning.
Dumb took a deep breath and accelerated his fall. The green figure moved faster than him, and a green wind blade separated from the figure and slashed towards him with a sharp whistle. Helpless, Dumb could only gather the remaining vital energy in his body and create a yellow-green light blade to block it. Amidst the loud bang, Dumb was surprised to find that the seemingly fierce wind blade attack did not seem to have any intention of hurting him. When it collided with his Life Transformation energy, it suddenly turned into a cool breeze and wrapped around his body. It lifted his body that was originally falling, and gently sent him out. Just as he was in a state of shock, an old voice rang out from the bottom of his heart, "I've already repaid your favor. The next time we meet, I definitely won't show any mercy."
Under the effect of the wind elements, Dumb's body was sent far away, and he disappeared into the forest on the other side of the moat. Behind him, in the night sky, Biyingluo Ge quietly floated there. Watching him leave, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he muttered, "What a powerful martial technique. He muttered, "What a strong Martial Technique. In the future, another Sword Sage will appear on the continent." At this time, the Sunset Empire's pursuers had already caught up. Leading them were the water, fire, earth, and wind guards beside Quan Yi.
Biyingluo Ge floated to the ground and blocked their way, "No need to chase, that person is not an elf, and I have already heavily injured him. He will die without a doubt. Immediately return to the city and keep a close watch. This could be a ploy to lure the tiger away. Immediately search all suspicious places around the city walls, and be vigilant at all times.
The fourth guard had always respected Biyingluo Ge, and believed his words without a doubt. He respectfully agreed, and led his subordinates back to the Sunset Empire, and began another big search.
Dumb landed in the forest, not daring to stop. He turned into a shadow as he flew at an astonishing speed. As he ran, he recalled the voice that had sounded in his heart. It was somewhat familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before. He said that he would return a favor, but what kind of favor was it? He didn't seem to know anyone here! After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out what was going on. After a while, he finally arrived at the rendezvous point with Yanshi and the others.
Yanshi and the others had long been waiting anxiously, constantly staring in the direction of the Sunset City. When they left, they could clearly see the multicolored aura above the Sunset City.
Xing 'er tightly gripped her clothes and muttered, "He will be fine, right? He will definitely be fine. “
Yan Li anxiously said to Yanshi, "Big Brother, it's been so long, why hasn't Dumb arrived yet? Did he encounter some trouble? What if he's caught? "
Yanshi looked at his brother and calmly said, "If Dumb is caught, I'll stay here and think of a way to save him. You take the two girls back to the Elves, then go back to our clan and ask the Prophet and the Patriarch to personally bring people to rescue Dumb." Although his voice was calm, everyone could hear the deep emotions contained in his deep voice.
Zhuo Yun looked at Yanshi, whose eyes never left the Sunset City. Her heart couldn't help but tremble. At this moment, Yanshi looked so tall. She subconsciously walked to Yanshi's side and held his hand, saying, "Don't worry, Dumb will definitely come back safely. You have to believe in his strength. Doesn't he still have the Hell King's Sword?"
Yanshi sighed and looked at Zhuo Yun. If it wasn't for the fact that Zhuo Yun was holding his hand, he would be so happy! He shook his head and said, "I understand Dumb too well. He has escaped from evil, so I'm afraid he won't use the Hell King's Sword on ordinary soldiers. Although his cultivation is profound, he is only one person. Sunset City is the capital of the Sunset Empire, so there is no lack of experts. Whether Dumby can escape or not, I'm afraid it'll largely depend on luck. "
Zhuo Yun noticed that Boulder's large hands were covered in cold sweat. His emotions were clearly not as calm as he appeared on the surface. She sighed softly and did not say anything else. She only stayed by Boulder's side and looked into the distance. When the rock was held by her soft little hands, his anxious mood actually calmed down a little. The faint fragrance that came from beside him made his heart calm down a lot. Through the two people's hands that were connected, the rock suddenly produced a kind of harmonious feeling.
A black shadow rushed towards them like lightning. Seeing the faint white light emitting from his body, Yanshi was immediately overjoyed. He shouted, "Dumb, we're here!"
The person was Dumb. Hearing Yanshi's call, Dumb's heart relaxed. With a few leaps, he landed in front of Yanshi and the others. The relief made Dumb unable to hold on any longer. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell into Yanshi's arms. Yanshi turned pale with fright. He quickly circulated his True Qi into Dumb's body. Although he didn't cultivate True Qi, it was still one of the most orthodox cultivation methods. With the help of Yanshi's thick True Qi, Dumb let out a long breath. He immediately felt much better. Earlier, he had fought against the Sunset Empire's experts alone for twenty minutes. That had used up most of his True Qi. When he was escaping, he was attacked by the Heaven Devourer Fire Dragon Magic. His weakened body immediately suffered heavy injuries. If it wasn't for the wind that sent his body out, Dumb would have already become a prisoner of the Sunset Empire. He gasped for breath, and after a while, he gradually calmed down.
"Big brother, don't worry. I'm fine. I'm just a little tired."
Yanshi had already sensed from Dumb's meridians that although his injuries weren't light, they weren't life-threatening. He immediately let out a sigh of relief. He picked up Dumb and led the others to hide in the bushes on the side of the road. He asked, "Brother, why did it take you so long to escape? I thought you already …"
Dumb smiled bitterly. "That was close. I didn't dare leave too quickly. I was afraid that you still hadn't left Sunset City, so I held on a little longer." Dumb then recounted what happened on the city wall. When everyone heard that he had been hit by the Heaven Devourer Fire Dragon, they couldn't help but cry out in shock.
After listening to Dumb's story, Yanshi asked doubtfully, "Who helped you escape in the end? We don't have any friends in Sunset City. Did you say that green figure could fly? Could it be that old magician from the palace that day? He's the only magician I've ever seen who can fly using magic. But there's no reason for him to save you. He's our enemy. Logically speaking, he should have attacked you. With that old magician's power, it would have been very difficult for you to escape. Could it be that he had some kind of scheme? "No."
Dumb shook his head. "I don't think so. Before I left, he told me that I've already repaid your favor. The next time we meet, I definitely won't let you live. But I don't remember having any favors with him."
Yanshi's eyes suddenly lit up. He laughed out loud. The others were stunned. Dumb asked doubtfully, "Big brother, what are you laughing at?" "No."
Yanshi laughed. "I understand. Do you know why that old magician saved you? I still remember that day after you ran out of the Imperial Palace of the Luori Empire, you told us that you shot an arrow with your black iron bow and shocked that old magician. That was how you escaped. I think that old magician probably thought that you left your subordinates behind and didn't kill him, so he took this opportunity to save you. It was really an accident. "
After listening to Yanshi's explanation, besides Dumb, Yan Li and the others all laughed. Xing 'er was strangely excited. She giggled. "It wasn't an accident, it was a stroke of luck. Big brother Dumb, your luck is really good!" "…"
Dumb looked at Xing 'er's smiling face and laughed bitterly. "Little sister Xing' er, don't make fun of me. Looks like I'll have to practice archery in the future." The Black Iron Bow was extremely powerful. It could be said that it was Dumb's number one weapon besides Hades' Sword.
Yanshi's smile disappeared. "Brother, even though we escaped, we still have to leave this place. After all, this is still within Sunset City's territory. Come, I'll carry you. Endure for a while. When we find a suitable place to hide, you can rest." Yanshi grabbed Dumb's arm and pulled him to his back. He grabbed Dumb's legs and carried him on his back.
Dumb was a bit embarrassed. "Big brother, I can't do this. I'm so heavy, I'll tire you out."
Yanshi laughed. "Your big brother isn't that weak. Besides, if I can't carry you, there's still A 'Li. You risk your life for us every time, it's time for us to do something for you. Let's go. Zhuo Yun, take care of the princess. Try to fly as low as possible."
Xing 'er said, "Big brother Rock, don't worry, I can still hold on." Although the power of the Elven King's bloodline was gradually disappearing, after a month of recuperation, her body was already much better. She didn't need someone else to carry her anymore. She spread her wings, which were a bit larger than ordinary elves', and hurried to catch up. Rock shook his head helplessly and murmured, "This little princess! You just got out of danger, and now you're being naughty again. "He weighed Dumby's body in his hand, and together with Rock Force, they chased after the fairy with large strides. Their speed was very fast, and after two hours, they had already run more than a hundred miles.
Yanshi panted as he placed Dumb on the ground. He used his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and shouted to Zhuo Yun and Xing 'er, "Don't go, rest for a while."
During these two hours, Dumb wasn't able to properly rest due to the bumpy ride, but he managed to stabilize his injuries by relying on his pure Life Energy. He slid down to the ground, sat down, and said weakly, "Big brother, it's been hard on you. I'll meditate for a while." With that said, he immediately closed his eyes and regulated his breathing. The battle at the top of Sunset City had been too thrilling, and it had also exhausted most of his skills. Now that he was healing his injuries, he quickly entered a state where he forgot about everything around him. The dim silver Golden Body in his body gradually lit up under his urging. A strand of silk-like energy floated up gently and circled around his silver Golden Body. Dumby relaxed his entire body and used the method of letting nature take its course that he had comprehended when he was training at the One Heart Inn. The Vital Qi in his body found the most natural route and quickly circulated quickly. A layer of faint silver light appeared around Dumby's body. It looked so holy.
Yanshi was exhausted. He sat down on the ground, panting. Zhuo Yun and Xing 'er landed in front of him. A faint light flashed in Zhuo Yun's eyes. She took out a handkerchief and handed it to him. "Wipe yourself. Look at you, you're sweating so much."
Yanshi was stunned. He took the handkerchief and said with some embarrassment, "Thank you, Miss Zhuo Yun."
Xing 'er looked at Yanshi, and then at Zhuo Yun. Feeling the unusual atmosphere between them, she giggled and said, "Alright, why are you so polite? I'm tired too. I'm going to sleep for a while. " As she spoke, she flapped her wings and flew to a nearby tree. Leaning against a wide branch, she closed her eyes. Yanshi used the handkerchief that Zhuo Yun handed to him to wipe the sweat off his face. He handed the handkerchief back in a silly manner. "I-I'm done. I'm returning it to you."
Looking at Yanshi's honest and resolute face, Zhuo Yun giggled and said, "You're all sweaty. Why are you returning it to me? Let's wash it up first. "
