Fortunately, on the fifth day, they finally received the order allowing them to leave. Up to this point, Zhao Sining had not yet attacked them, so Mu Hanyan and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Everyone, after leaving the Valley of Strange Beasts, I hope you can always remember your previous promises. If you go against your promise, I, Pang Dezong, will never let him off easily even if it means ruining my reputation." Before leaving, Pang Dezong came to see everyone off, and said something that sounded like a reminder but also more like a threat.
"Master Pang, please rest assured. As swordsmen, we have our own dignity. Even if we die, we will never reveal a word to others." The swordsmen promised solemnly.
"Then let's go. In a while, Zhengying College will recruit new students. The door of the college will always be open to you." Pang Dezong first raised the big stick, and now he threw out a sweet date.
"Thank you, Instructor Pang. We will definitely report to the academy on time." The young swordsmen said excitedly.
Although this trial was a life-or-death experience, they still felt it was worth it as they could obtain a Marrow Cleansing and Vein Strengthening Pill and a Seventh Revolution Qi Refining Pill, as well as a chance to directly join Zhengying Academy.
You have to know that even if they were the elite of this trial's elite, not everyone had the opportunity to join Zhengying College, one of the four major colleges. If the previous accident hadn't happened and Zhengying College had offered such conditions, they probably wouldn't have hesitated even if they were asked to risk their lives again.
After paying their respects to their mentors, Pang Dezong, and their future seniors, the young swordsmen departed the Valley of Exotic Beasts in groups of three or five. This unexpected event had forged many lifelong friendships, and years later, their families would become inextricably linked because of this relationship. One day, even the entire Anyun Nation's family power would be profoundly transformed by this trial.
Because the barrier was damaged, the original transmission channel could no longer be used, so we had to cross mountains and rivers.
Arriving at the valley's exit, Mu Hanyan gazed out into the distance, catching sight of the familiar rolling hills. She realized that the Exotic Beast Valley lay within the territory of Anyun Nation. To the people of Anyun Nation, it was considered deep within the Longyan Mountains, but within the vast Longyan Range, it was still considered the periphery.
Beyond the valley, paths stretched in all directions, likely trodden by centuries of experienced treasure hunters. However, each path now had brand-new signposts erected beside it. After all, there were thousands of swordsmen who had left, and Zhengying Academy couldn't possibly send them all back one by one. They were left to fend for themselves.
Fortunately, the strength of these swordsmen is not bad, and they are still numerous even if they are dispersed. The academy has also stationed people to guard the few dangerous places along the way, so there is no need to worry about them encountering any accidents.
After leaving the Valley of Exotic Beasts, Mu Hanyan and the others said goodbye and then parted ways. But before that, everyone bowed and thanked Mu Hanyan and Yan Yuchu.
"Mr. Mu, thanks to you, we were able to escape safely this time. I, Lin Zhaoming, will remember this kindness." said a swordsman.
"From now on, as long as Master Mu gives me an order, I, Tang Gaoyang, will do it even if it means death." Another swordsman said directly.
Although Yan Yuchu had helped a lot before, his actions were largely motivated by self-preservation. Mu Hanyan's decision to let them leave and deal with Xia Youchen alone was completely different. How could they possibly forget such a great favor?
