Chapter 691: Escape from Yunfeng City
There was silence in the dungeon for a moment.
"Master Wu Shi, the Saint was still young when the turmoil broke out and had no idea about the evil deeds done by Wu Jie. She was raised by Wu Jie, so it is reasonable for her to be close to him." Yun Tao said.
Wangyou felt like a huge stone was pressing on his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.
After a while, he spoke, his voice very dry: "I'm glad that the Saint is safe."
"Master Wu Shi, can you tell the gods about Wu Jie's crimes so that the gods will no longer be deceived by him?" Yun Tao looked at Wangyou with anticipation.
Over the past ten years, the people of Yunfeng City have had their lives more and more miserable.
The Wu Clan has four cities in total. Except for Yuecheng, the lives of the other two cities are actually more difficult than Yunfeng City.
The great witch built temples everywhere, and countless people were conscripted to work. Some lost their sons, some lost their fathers, and some lost their husbands...
Even so, no one dared to resist, believing it was a divine order.
Only those who have lost their loved ones know the pain.
Wu Jie also wanted to recruit the people of Yunfeng City, but Yun Tao refused.
It was obvious that Wu Jie was very dissatisfied with him, so he sent Yao Zhu to collect taxes.
This is just the beginning, and we don’t know what we will face next.
"The dance to summon gods can no longer bring gods to us." Wangyou said.
He remembered his master's words. His tribe was originally called the Moon Worshipers, and their deity was the Moon God. Under the moonlight, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth converged, and the God was born. The Great Shaman once invited the Moon God to descend upon the earth. About a thousand years ago, the Moon God disappeared, and the Great Shaman could no longer summon the God.
"This god is just a legend. There is no god at all." Zhao Jingxuan couldn't help but mutter.
Wangyou glanced at Zhao Jingxuan and said, "God will disappear and no longer interfere in the affairs of the world."
Zhao Jingxuan felt that Wangyou had really become a different person. That look from him was so majestic that he quickly shut up and stopped talking.
Whether there are gods or not, it is the belief of the ancient tribe. What he said offended people's beliefs. Zhao Jingxuan wanted to slap himself.
Yun Tao's heart sank completely.
When he saw Wangyou, he was very excited, thinking that finally someone could convey the suffering of his people to God, but now he was told that God does not interfere in human affairs.
Yun Tao suddenly thought of something, and hope rekindled in his eyes: "It was Wu Jie who took your position. The position of the Great Wizard should have been yours..."
Since God does not interfere in human affairs, they can only rely on themselves.
Wu Jie became the Great Wizard by improper means, so this Master Wizard should set things right!
He was the one chosen by Wu Mobai, and he would definitely allow the people of the Wu clan to live a good life.
"Master Wu Shi, I am willing to follow you." Yun Tao said piously.
Wangyou didn't say anything, but looked at Sanbao intently.
If he chooses to take back the position of the Great Wizard, he will be involved in disputes and have to shoulder the burden of the Wizard Clan, and then he will not be able to follow his master.
If he follows his master... his master is killed, slandered, and bears a bad name, the saint relies on thieves, and the people of the witch clan suffer, will he just sit back and watch?
Wangyou felt that two forces were pulling at him, and he was caught in a dilemma.
"Wangyou, no matter what you choose, I support you." Sanbao said seriously.
Wangyou showed a shy expression under Sanbao's serious gaze.
His original intention was to follow his master.
Yun Tao had been looking at Wang You, and he saw his expression. He said, "No matter what, the identity of Master Wu Shi should not be exposed. I will escort you out of Yunfeng City first."
Now the entire Wu clan is controlled by Wu Jie. If they are exposed, they will definitely be killed and silenced. The identity of the Wu Shi should be hidden for the time being!
"The execution by burning will be at noon tomorrow. Tonight is the last chance to escape. I'll make arrangements now! Someone will come to get you and escort you out of Yunfeng City." Yun Tao paused. "As for where to go, Master Wu Shi, you decide for yourself."
Yuntao performed the witch clan's salute to Wangyou, then turned and left.
The night is dark.
Yun Tao called the two brothers Feng Yue and Feng Yan.
Yun Tao made a long story short, explained Wangyou's identity, and without giving the two time to react, he quickly made his decision.
"Feng Yan, escort the Master Wu Shi out of Yunfeng City. Remember, you and all the warriors of Yunfeng City will be loyal to this Master Wu Shi."
"Feng Yue, send my wife and child away from Yunfeng City."
Feng Yan frowned: "City Lord..."
"No need to say more, get ready immediately." Yun Tao said decisively.
The two brothers Feng Yue and Feng Yan took the order and left.
Yun Tao quickly returned to the bedroom and woke up his wife and two children.
"Hurry up and pack up and leave Yunfeng City." Yun Tao said.
Seeing his serious expression, his wife quickly stood up and packed some clothes.
The two children were sleeping soundly and were carried out of the house by Yuntao and put into the carriage.
The two children, both about seven or eight years old, looked at their tall father and said, "Dad..."
Yun Tao looked at the two children's innocent faces and kissed them on the forehead: "Be good, listen to your mother..."
When his wife heard this, she felt a little uneasy and grabbed his arm: "We are leaving, what about you?"
"You go first, I'll be there later." Yun Tao said, then patted his wife's arm to let her go.
His wife's hand loosened, Yun Tao took two steps back, and said to Feng Yue, who was driving the carriage, "Let's go."
The carriage set off and disappeared into the dark night.
On the other side, Tangli, Wangyou and others were also taken out of the dungeon, got on a carriage, and hurried out of Yunfeng City.
There was a hint of dawn in the east, and it was daybreak.
"If we leave like this, will Wu Ku make things difficult for City Lord Yun?" Zhao Jingxuan asked.
After all, Wu Ku wanted to execute them by burning at the stake in the name of God. Now that their people are missing, will Wu Ku let City Lord Yun go?
This is actually what Wangyou was thinking about.
Wangyou looked at Feng Yan: "Mr. Feng, what is City Lord Yun's plan?"
"Just call me by my name," Feng Yan said respectfully, "The City Lord has his own plans, so don't worry."
Feng Yan said this, but his face was filled with worry.
He was not a fool like Feng Yue. When the city lord asked him to be loyal to the witch and send his wife and children away, he had already guessed the city lord's decision.
The city lord will not leave.
The city lord will stay in Yunfeng City and take on this matter alone.
I'm afraid this farewell will be forever.
He felt choked up and very uncomfortable.
Wangyou lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out. He felt something was wrong, as if a pair of eyes were staring at him.
Wangyou's gaze swept over and landed on the bird perched on the branch, and he saw the bird tilting its head to look at them.
Wangyou pursed his lips tightly, quickly picked up the crossbow, and shot an arrow at the bird.
The bird fell from the branch to the ground.
"Wangyou, what's wrong?" Sanbao couldn't help but ask as he looked at Wangyou's actions.
It's impossible that he was hungry and wanted to shoot a bird to eat. Something must have happened.
"We're being followed. The Wu clan has a secret technique that allows them to use the eyes and ears of birds to see and hear." Wangyou said with a serious expression, "It's Wu Ku!"
The great wizard will only pass on his secret skills to his disciples, so the bird just now was the wizard's eye!
Tangli's expression also changed.
The witch clan actually has this kind of secret technique!
Doesn't that mean their every move is under Wu Ku's control? !
Wu Ku must have known Wangyou's identity, so he tracked her using birds!
Since Wu Ku knew Wangyou's identity, why did he let him leave the city?
When dozens of figures rushed out from the woods and blocked their way, Tangli understood the reason.
If they were to be targeted directly in Yunfeng City, Yunfeng City would have guards, and the City Lord Yun would definitely protect them!
Wu Ku deliberately let them out of the city and then sniped them halfway!
Wu Ku wanted to kill the threat Wangyou quietly.
Everything was within Wu Ku's calculations!
