Yan Yuchu understood Mu Hanyan's expression and knew he wouldn't surrender. After a moment's hesitation, he realized that although Mu Hanyan appeared to be a realm below him, his Heavenly Star Qi was impure, so his swordsmanship wasn't what it seemed. Mu Hanyan, on the other hand, was the exact opposite; his true combat prowess far exceeded his apparent cultivation level.
If they really came to a fight, he might not be able to defeat Mu Hanyan at this moment. Staying would not be of much help. On the contrary, it would be easier for him to escape alone.
"Okay, take care of yourself." After thinking it through, Yan Yuchu bowed solemnly to Mu Hanyan and walked out.
Seeing that Yan Yuchu had left, the others did not act pretentiously and followed suit.
Xia Youchen kept his promise and did not make things difficult for them.
"Master Mu, I, Lin Zhao, will remember your great kindness today. If I can escape safely this time, I will repay you in the future."
"I, Tang Gaoyang, will remember Master Mu's kindness. If you have any further requests, I, Tang Gaoyang, will obey you even if it means death.
"My king will always remember Master Mu's great kindness and generosity, and will repay you in the future."
…
After taking a few steps, the young swordsmen turned around again, bowed deeply to Mu Hanyan, and spoke solemnly.
They all knew that they were able to save their lives only because of Mu Hanyan. Otherwise, let alone Xia Youchen's help, it would be questionable whether they could survive the siege of those strange beasts until now.
Mu Hanyan waved her hand, feeling calm.
Xia Youchen wanted her to stay anyway, so she definitely couldn't leave. He'd only made that request to get Mu Feng and Yan Yuchu to leave. These people were just bargaining chips, but Xia Youchen hadn't expected to be so generous as to not even bargain, and in the process, he'd saved their lives. Therefore, Mu Hanyan had no desire to be arrogant.
Of course, no matter what Mu Hanyan thought, they were still full of gratitude to her.
"Anyway, thank you very much this time. If you can come back alive, I will treat you to a drink." Mu Feng was conflicted and was the last one to leave. He came to Mu Hanyan, hesitated for a moment, and then looked up and said.
"Okay, we won't go home until we are drunk." Mu Hanyan said with a hearty smile.
Mu Feng did not repeat the mistakes of his previous life after all, and she achieved her goal. After this incident, Mu Feng's attitude towards her also changed a lot, and she was still very relieved.
Soon, everyone left the small valley and entered the crack in the cliff.
However, what touched Mu Hanyan was that they did not leave immediately, but gathered at the entrance and looked in her direction. It was obvious that they were unwilling to abandon Mu Hanyan and escape alone.
Mu Hanyan was a little overwhelmed. If they were not there, she could still give it a try. But since they refused to leave, it would be difficult for her to take action.
But after a few closer looks, Mu Hanyan felt relieved. Halfway up the cliff, Mu Cheng, Wu Qiyun, Yan Yuchu, and several other experts were hiding behind several boulders, with only half of their heads visible.
The boulders were shaky, barely supported by a few pieces of rubble. Apparently, while they were engaged in a bloody battle outside the temple, Mu Cheng and Wu Qiyun hadn't been idle either, tinkering with the boulders, ready to support them at any moment.
You have to know that this crack has just opened not long ago, and the cliffs on both sides are already loose. As long as these huge rocks fall, other rubble will also collapse, blocking the entrance of the crack tightly. Even if Xia Youchen has the strength of a sword saint, it will not be easy to reopen the passage and hunt them down.
This guy does have some brains, and I didn't misjudge him. Mu Hanyan thought with relief. She knew that the person who came up with this idea wouldn't be the stubborn Mu Cheng, but definitely the cunning Wu Qiyun.
