Chapter 1053: Chapter 1027: Departure

To talk about leaving, Tangyu had long wanted to leave, but the Clan Leader Mo had said he was thinking of a way, and hadn’t given Tangyu an answer, so Tangyu was also waiting.

A figure suddenly ran over from a distance; it was precisely Xing Tian. Seeing Xing Tian rushing over so hurriedly, Tangyu’s heart suddenly stirred, wondering if the Clan Leader Mo had some news.

Sure enough, Xing Tian said: “Big Brother Tangyu, Grandpa Clan Leader wants you to come over; he says there’s a way now.”

Tangyu’s heart immediately filled with joy; after waiting for a month, finally, there was a way: “Let’s go.”

Hearing these words, Mo Qianqian’s smile also froze, and she quickly followed along.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the Clan Leader’s residence. Wang Qiutian and the other eight were also present, along with Clan Leader Mo Xuankong, but no one else was there.

Mo Xuankong said: “Tangyu, I have deduced that the external guard forces have a brief disappearance every three days, lasting about ten breaths of time. After several deductions and validations, this is consistently the result. Therefore, I deduced that the Liang Kingdom’s forces outside should change shifts every three days, and during this shift change, there’s a short window of opportunity. This is your only chance to get out. At that time, I will deduce, and when the time comes, open the passage immediately and take people to leave swiftly.”

Tangyu frowned slightly: “With only ten breaths of time, even if we can get out, won’t we be easily discovered? If detected, it will be hard for us to escape.”

Ten breaths of time, too little, far too little.

Mo Xuankong lifted a hand, revealing an Immortal Boat-like magic artifact: “This is a regular Immortal Boat, although regular, it is still a treasure comparable to top-grade magic artifacts, something ordinary people cannot acquire. With the assistance of this Immortal Boat, your speed can surpass the Golden Core Realm. The ten-breath time gap should be enough to let you escape. In my estimation, even if the Liang Kingdom has strong individuals stationed outside, at most, they would only be at the Golden Core Realm.”

“In the worst-case scenario, even if you are discovered by those at the Golden Core Realm, with this Immortal Boat’s speed, operating at full force, you should still be able to escape. Once you’re out, it’s the Moluo River, with the Moluo Forest on both sides. Once in the Moluo Forest, it becomes harder for them to find you.”

Tangyu nodded: “With the help of this Immortal Boat, there truly is nothing to fear, unless the Liang Kingdom indeed has stationed exceptionally strong individuals here. If it’s just ordinary ones, they’re not worth fearing. However, it’s best to avoid them if possible. Being discovered and endlessly pursued would be quite a headache for us.”

This issue, indeed, worried Tangyu and the others. If discovered, it might lead to an endless pursuit, where constantly hiding may not guarantee safety. Thus, taking such risks is far too great.

Mo Xuankong also furrowed his brows and said: “Don’t worry, I’ll deduce again to see when would be the most opportune time for you to leave. If you think the risk is too high, just wait. A chance will present itself, and once you seize that chance, you can leave. You only need to seize ten breaths of time; that should be enough for you. Even if Liang Kingdom deploys strong individuals to guard there, it’s impossible for them to monitor that side constantly. There will be a gap.”

Tangyu nodded: “Alright then, we’ll wait. It can only be this way.”

“Yes, and don’t leave, stay here and be ready to depart at any moment. Xiaotian, take this Immortal Boat. The Moluo World is not suitable for you, it’s too restrictive. The world outside is your stage, the place you should step into. When you get out, follow Tangyu and listen to him in all things.” Mo Xuankong advised, looking kindly and earnestly at Xing Tian.

There was a mixture of excitement and reluctance on Xing Tian’s face, as he nodded resolutely: “Yes, Grandpa Clan Leader, I know, I will listen to Big Brother Tangyu.”

Tangyu also said: “Clan Leader Mo, rest assured, I will take care of Xing Tian like a younger brother.”

Mo Xuankong nodded to Tangyu: “Then everything is in your hands.”

Mo Qianqian suddenly said: “Grandpa, I want to go out too, I want to go with Tangyu and them.”

Mo Xuankong’s brows immediately furrowed as he shook his head: “No, Qianqian, you cannot go out. The world outside is too dangerous, it’s not suitable for you. You’d better stay in the Moluo Tribe.”

Mo Qianqian looked at Mo Xuankong pitifully, her eyes teary: “But I really want to see what the outside world is like. If there’s danger, Tangyu and Xiaotian can protect me, right, Tangyu?”

Tangyu did want to say yes, but he really couldn’t make that promise. After all, he had already provoked the Liang Kingdom. It’s uncertain if he can protect himself outside, let alone protect Mo Qianqian. Besides, the outside is indeed too dangerous, not suitable for Mo Qianqian to go out for now.

Tangyu shook his head: “Qianqian, listen to your grandpa. The outside is too dangerous. I’m like a clay Bodhisattva crossing a river, unable to protect myself. I probably won’t be able to take care of you. When it’s safer and I have the opportunity, I’ll take you out.”

Mo Xuankong reiterated, with some seriousness: “Qianqian, be obedient. The Immortal Boat can carry at most ten people to leave.”

Mo Qianqian bit her red lips lightly, looking at Tangyu, her face full of reluctance, causing deep sympathy: “Tangyu, when will you come back?”

Tangyu thought for a moment, shook his head, and said: “I don’t know. Once I establish my footing outside, resolve the trouble with the Liang Kingdom, and have my own power to ensure your safety, I’ll come back to get you.”

“Oh, how long will that take?” Mo Qianqian asked.

“I don’t know, maybe three to five years, maybe longer,” Tangyu replied.

“Oh.” Mo Qianqian fell silent, her voice choked with emotion. Seeing her this way was truly heartbreaking, and even Tangyu felt a pang of sympathy. But at this moment, there was nothing else he could do. There was no way to take Mo Qianqian out.

Fortunately, Mo Qianqian didn’t continue to make a fuss, and even Xing Tian was comforting her.

Mo Xuankong continued with his deductions. His skill in the Art of Deduction was learned from an ancient incomplete manual, so his methods were quite advanced.

Mo Xuankong kept deducing, pinpointing the perfect moment to leave, while Tangyu and Wang Qiutian were discussing where to go after leaving the Moluo World.

After some discussion, they came up with a few plans. If they could leave without being noticed, they would head to another dangerous place, the Mystic Lan Realm, which was the most famous perilous area in the northern territory within the Liang Kingdom, even more renowned than the Moluo River.

If they were discovered, they would first escape into the Mystic Lan Realm, and then find a way to use it as a springboard to flee directly out of the Liang Kingdom and into a neighboring country. Fortunately, the area was in the Extreme North Land, close to the edge of the Liang Kingdom. The Mystic Lan Realm was actually on the border between the Liang Kingdom and the Xia Country, so from the Mystic Lan Realm, they could easily enter the territory of the Xia Country.

Tangyu and the others prepared for the worst, planning to wander within the Xia Country, exploring and waiting for the situation to settle down before returning. With the help of the Immortal Boat, they could leave directly without showing their faces, as long as they remained unseen and the Liang Kingdom didn’t discover their identities, they wouldn’t have much to worry about. At worst, they would wander outside for decades. That was, of course, the worst-case scenario.

The preliminary plan confirmed that the first step was to enter the Mystic Lan Realm. After all, it was a dangerous place where even the Golden Core Realm could be threatened.

All the plans were set, and now everyone was waiting with ease.

Tangyu also sorted through the Qiankun Bag of Liang Fengnian and the Wooden Sword, but unfortunately, he didn’t find any impressive hidden cards left. It seemed Liang Fengnian had exhausted everything in the Shi Que Palace, which somewhat disappointed Tangyu. If he could have obtained some powerful cards from Liang Fengnian, it would have given him more means, but alas.

Three days passed quickly.

Mo Xuankong suddenly said, “Quick, open the passage and leave; this is the best time.”

Tangyu, trusting the clan leader’s words without a doubt, immediately acted on the guidance of the Moluo Order, promptly opening a passage in the void. Xing Tian also quickly brought out the Immortal Boat, enlarging it as everyone jumped into the boat, and with the combined power of all, they urged the boat forward, transforming it into a stream of light that plunged into the spatial passage, disappearing rapidly from view while the passage closed, restoring calm.

Tangyu and the others left, leaving only Mo Xuankong and Mo Qianqian behind.

Tears finally welled up in Mo Qianqian’s eyes, and she held them back to keep them from falling.

Mo Xuankong gazed into the void, lost in thought: “How many years has it been? Since ancient times, a million years have passed, and finally someone has managed to leave. Xiao Tian, you are a talented and good child. Wishing you a smooth journey, the future is bright for you, become a person of high standing, and walk far on the Path of the Immortals.”

Eventually, Mo Qianqian couldn’t hold back anymore, crystalline tears rolled down her cheeks: “Tangyu, will you come back? Or will you never return?”

She was worried, she was afraid. This kind of waiting might be endless.

A long song of the years is what truly wears down a person.

Commanding the Immortal Boat, with a flash of light, Tangyu and the others flew out of the Moluo River and directly into the Moluo Forest.

On a small peak by the Moluo River, a man sat cross-legged on a stone, his eyes closed as he cultivated his spirit, with a stern expression. From his slightly furrowed brows, it was clear that his mood wasn’t pleasant: “Hmph, His Majesty the Liang King clearly ordered the two of us to guard this place, yet you keep leaving every now and then, leaving me to guard alone. If anything goes wrong, you’ll be in big trouble.”

Despite his grievances, the man had no choice. His strength was slightly weaker, so he had to obey the other’s arrangements, taking on the hardest and most tiring tasks alone.

“Hmm?” Suddenly, the man’s brow twitched, his eyes opened wide as he spotted a flash of light streaking past his vision, causing him to exclaim: “Not good, someone has emerged from the Moluo World, catch them!”

Calling the guards now would definitely be too late, so the man didn’t hesitate, quickly pursuing them.
