Just as Wu Tian finished speaking, the door to the secret room was quietly pushed open, and a middle-aged man dressed in black slipped in like a ghost.

The man was agile and walked silently, like a nimble cat moving freely in the dark.

Wu Tian immediately asked, "Royal Cat, how is the situation?"

At this moment, he remained confident and firmly believed that he was in control of the situation.

However, the man nicknamed "Royal Cat" had a solemn expression. He knelt down with a thud and said in a trembling voice, "Lord City Lord, something terrible has happened! Most of the city defense troops have defected. They have all expressed their support for Fang Han, and the situation is out of control."

"This...this...how is this possible?"

Wu Tian's face turned deathly pale instantly. He stood up abruptly, his body trembling slightly, as if he had suffered a tremendous blow.

"Royal Cat" raised his head, his eyes filled with worry, and solemnly said, "City Lord, this matter is absolutely true, without the slightest falsehood. Now that Fang Han's power is growing, I advise you to make plans as soon as possible to avoid falling into a desperate situation."

Wu Tian took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He waved his hand and said slowly, "Royal Cat, you go back to the city defense force first. Keep a close eye on Fang Han's every move, and report to me if anything happens."

"Royal Cat" nodded, stood up, and left the secret room as quickly as a gust of wind.

After "Royal Cat" left, Wu Hanchun could no longer contain her anxiety. She quickly walked to Wu Tian's side and said with a sob in her voice, "Father, even the city defense army has been bribed by Fang Han. What should we do now? I... I don't want to be caught up in that dangerous battlefield again."

Wu Hanchun has always considered herself a pampered young lady, and her life of luxury has prevented her from experiencing the life-and-death battles during the rampage of monsters.

The thought of possibly facing that bloody and cruel scene again filled her with fear and unease.

"Now that things have come to this, we have no other choice but to leave Tianyi City with heavy hearts."

Wu Tian's expression was solemn, and his tone carried a hint of helplessness and determination. "We can head all the way north to the Wujin Kingdom. Over the years, I have been secretly dealing with the Wujin Kingdom and have done a lot of business there. I have already established my own industrial base there."

When Wu Tian said this, it was as if he was reassuring himself and those around him.

"Then let's not delay and set off tonight."

Wu Hanchun frowned, knowing full well the urgency of the situation and that leaving was the only option; her tone revealed an unwavering resolve.

"We can't wait until night to leave. Fang Han is a meticulous man and easily arouses suspicion. Right now, he's busy taking over the city's defense forces and has no time for anything else. This is the perfect opportunity for us to leave quietly. We must go now."

Wu Tian pondered for a moment, a glint of wisdom flashing in his eyes, and then made a decision.

Soon, Wu Tian and his daughter Wu Hanchun, along with dozens of their most trusted and loyal followers, rode their horses and quietly left through the north gate of Tianyi City.

At that time, Tianyi City was in a state of panic and chaos. They were all dressed in black robes, covering their faces completely. In the midst of the chaos, no one noticed their identities.

About half an hour later, they arrived at the foot of the Tianyi Mountains.

"Following this winding mountain road, once we cross the majestic Tianyi Mountains, we will have left the territory of Tianyuan County, and we will be safe for the time being. In less than three days, we will be able to leave Yanlong Kingdom and arrive at Wujin Kingdom, the northernmost kingdom of this continent, to start a new life."

Wu Tian sat steadily on his horse, looking up at the towering Tianyi Mountains that seemed to pierce the sky. He turned to his daughter Wu Hanchun beside him and said that his eyes showed both anticipation for the unknown and reluctance to leave his homeland.

"Father, you are truly farsighted and have a well-thought-out plan. Otherwise, we would have been at the mercy of Fang Han in Tianyi City sooner or later, and might even have perished in the bellies of those ferocious monsters."

Wu Hanchun said with lingering fear, her tone full of admiration for her father.

Originally, she did not want to leave Tianyi City, where she had lived for many years, but the terrifying appearance of those monsters was already deeply imprinted in her mind, becoming an inescapable nightmare, forcing her to choose to escape.

"Don't stop for a moment, speed up immediately and cross the Tianyi Mountains as soon as possible."

Wu Tian's expression hardened, and he gave a loud order.

“Father, our plan is so secretive that Fang Han couldn’t possibly know about it. There’s no need to rush.”

Wu Hanchun asked with some confusion.

"Better safe than sorry. Fang Han is a master of the Divine Sense Realm. His divine sense is incredibly powerful and can cover a very large area. We must not be careless and should proceed with caution."

Wu Tian explained patiently with a serious expression.

So, the group of several dozen people raised their whips, spurred their horses, and galloped along the rugged mountain path toward Tianyi Mountain.

An hour later, as dusk fell, Wu Tian and Wu Hanchun's group reached the summit of Tianyi Mountain.

The setting sun in the west, like a giant fireball, dyed the top of Tianyi Mountain a magnificent pale gold, a beauty that seemed like a dream.

Although Wu Tian's horse was a rare gem, after such a long and arduous journey through the mountains, it was now panting heavily and its pace was gradually slowing down.

Wu Tian looked around and realized that he was out of danger, so the tension in his heart eased a little.

So he dismounted, stood on a high ground, and looked out into the distance, taking in the entire scenery of Tianyi City.

“I have worked hard in Tianyi City for so many years, weathering countless storms. I never thought that one day I would be forced to leave my hometown and the place where I have lived most of my life by a young man.”

Wu Tian muttered to himself, letting out a long sigh, his words filled with sorrow and helplessness, "Leaving here today, I'm afraid I'll never be able to return here in this lifetime."

"That Fang Han is utterly despicable. If I ever have the chance, I will kill him with my own hands to vent my hatred."

Wu Hanchun, on the other hand, was filled with anger, gritting her teeth as she spoke, her eyes flashing with flames of hatred.

"You want to kill me? Then I'll give you that chance."

However, at that moment, a mountain wind suddenly blew by, and a cold and clear voice drifted on the wind, clearly reaching the ears of Wu Tian, ​​Wu Hanchun, and the others.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically, and they were all shocked...
