326: Prepare to leave the city

Mulan Manor disciples were everywhere on the Long Street, burning, killing, and looting; they committed every imaginable evil.

For the common people in Yizhou City, survival had instead become a luxury.

Firelight flickered everywhere along the Long Street. Watching this scene, Nan Qingyue was also powerless.

"To think Yizhou City has turned into this," Nie Mingjue took a sharp breath, his brow furrowing as a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"But this shouldn't be. There are at least three thousand Imperial Guards in Yizhou City. Where are the soldiers? Could they have all been killed by the Mulan Manor disciples?" Nan Qingyue was even more confused.

Currently, Yizhou City was still a Commandery City of the Immortal Country. Mulan Manor's influence was vast, but they couldn't openly attack a Commandery City.

Yet, this Commandery City had become something in Mulan Manor's pocket. Such a scene was truly curious.

"Isn't this quite normal?" Mu Changan had a calm expression. He had seen plenty of such things in Yizhou City.

"What do you mean?" Nan Qingyue didn't understand.

Mu Changan stepped forward and stood by the window, looking out at the chaotic Long Street.

Mulan Manor had always wanted to swallow the Northern Territory, but they never had a way.

But this time, Mulan Manor had spared no effort and finally taken the Northern Territory for themselves.

"Actually, all of this is thanks to those Imperial Guards. The situation in the Immortal Country is turbulent, and many factions have proposed ideas. There are even some ministers of the Immortal Country who want to support Mulan Manor."

"If Mulan Manor becomes the new Immortal Country, then those who supported them will get everything they want."

"In truth, rather than saying Yizhou City was captured by Mulan Manor, it's more accurate to say the Imperial Guards handed it over on a silver platter."

As Mu Changan said this, he let out a long sigh, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Actually, Mu Changan also wanted to stop all this, but he was only a Listening Wind Person, and the only power he possessed was Tingfeng Hall.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Time is of the essence; we're going to Yunzhou City."

Actually, Mu Changan already had an idea. For the sake of a secret, he could give up everything, even if his Cultivation were destroyed, he wouldn't care.

Mu Changan only wanted to see Baiyi Luo one more time, nothing more. But for this wish, he would pay a great price!

"Alright, then let's go!" Nan Qingyue replied.

Then, Nie Mingjue carried Mr. Li on his back and followed behind Mu Changan and Nan Qingyue. The three of them went downstairs and arrived outside the inn.

And it was at this moment.

Nan Qingyue looked around and found a carriage.

"Let's go, there's a carriage over there!" Nan Qingyue was overjoyed. She saw the carriage from a distance. If they had a carriage, Mr. Li could rest properly.

"Let's go," Nie Mingjue replied.

Mu Changan reacted quickly. In the blink of an eye, he reached the carriage and leaped onto it.

Mu Changan held the reins, and the carriage instantly arrived in front of Nan Qingyue.

"Quick, get in! We're leaving!" Mu Changan's face was grim. He felt that Yizhou City was too dangerous, and there was no other choice.

"Okay." Nan Qingyue supported Mr. Li and helped Nie Mingjue into the carriage.

Only after Mr. Li was lying in the carriage did Nan Qingyue breathe a sigh of relief.

This was much better.

Li Changfeng's face looked pale. Now that things had come to this, there was naturally no better way.

Nan Qingyue also wanted to do her best to save Mr. Li, and now, there was no other way but to go to Yunzhou City.

Thus, Nan Qingyue, Mu Changan, and Nie Mingjue took Li Changfeng and drove the carriage straight toward Yunzhou City.

However, the three of them were still unaware of everything that had happened at the Yunzhou Tang Family. Mulan Manor's reach had already extended to the Tang Family, and Old Master Tang had also been taken away by Mulan Manor.

"Senior, where should we leave the city?" Nan Qingyue looked around and saw Mulan Manor disciples everywhere in Yizhou City.

"Mulan Manor disciples are guarding the North City Gate, the East City Gate has been burned, and there are many refugees at the West City Gate, so there's really no way out there. That leaves only the South City Gate!" A cold light flashed in Mu Changan's eyes as he clenched his fists.

Then, Mu Changan took a sharp breath. After looking around, he suddenly had an idea.

The defenses at the South City Gate were weak, making it a good spot. If they couldn't even get out from there, they would truly be trapped in Yizhou City.

Thinking of this, Mu Changan gripped the reins tightly.

"Hyah! To the South City Gate!" A cold light flashed in Mu Changan's eyes; he had made his decision.

Now that this group of people had joined forces, they were a team.

Nan Qingyue leaned her head out, looking at the scene on the Long Street.

Bodies were strewn across the Long Street, firelight was everywhere, and most of the buildings had collapsed.

Time passed bit by bit.

The city gate was getting closer and closer.

Nan Qingyue looked up, a cold light flashing in her bright eyes as she took a sharp breath.

"Senior, something seems wrong." Nan Qingyue looked around and realized she couldn't see a single soul on this Long Street.

If it were said that the commoners here were afraid of the Mulan Manor disciples and all hid away, that would be possible.

But they didn't even see any Mulan Manor disciples here; this was far too strange!

It simply shouldn't be!

"What's wrong?" Mu Changan turned back and glanced at Nan Qingyue.

"Why aren't there any Mulan Manor disciples here?" Nan Qingyue voiced the doubt in her heart, becoming even more curious.

Hearing this, a cold light flashed in Mu Changan's eyes, and he wore a serious expression.

Actually, these words brought Mu Changan back to his senses.

Although the South City Gate hadn't been captured by Mulan Manor, there should still be Imperial Guards stationed here.

Besides, not everyone in the Imperial Guards was willing to side with Mulan Manor.

However, there were no Imperial Guards or soldiers at the South City Gate; this was truly too strange!

"Now that you mention it, it really is. But perhaps there's another hidden reason?" A cold light flashed in Mu Changan's eyes as a trace of unease rose within him.

"What do you mean? Senior, do you know something?" Nan Qingyue asked curiously.

"Senior, what's wrong here? Is something not right?" Nie Mingjue asked as well, with an innocent look.

"With no one guarding this place, perhaps someone has long been lying in ambush here, just waiting for people to arrive?" Mu Changan's lips curled into a smirk as he spoke eerily.
