"Go, go quickly!"
"Follow me some junior brothers!"
Zhang Yao was still shouting loudly as he ran away.
Several Taoist boys from the Danding Hall who were suddenly faced with a sudden change and panicked, heard Zhang Yao's shouts and subconsciously followed him to escape through the back door.
"It's done!"
Zhang Yao turned around and saw several Taoist boys following him, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He was close to reaching perfection in his practice of Taiyi Zhuang Gong. He really wanted to explode much faster than these Taoist boys, but he couldn't do so.
He didn't know who the enemy was, whether they had divided their forces or had an ambush. It was too conspicuous to rush out alone.
"You are a dead Taoist friend but not a poor Taoist. Junior brothers, I'm sorry."
"I don't need to run faster than a leopard, as long as I can run faster than you at the critical moment."
In Zhang Yao's heart, thoughts were spinning rapidly.
"Let's go!"
Under Zhang Yao's deliberate control, he only reached 70% of his speed, which was similar to the desperate speeds of several other Taoist boys.
Soon, several people ran through several palaces and pavilions, and the back door of Qingping Palace was already in front of them.
"The back door is here!"
Several Taoist boys were immediately overjoyed.
They were running for their lives along the way. Listening to the constant shouting and screaming in their ears, their livers and gallbladders were broken. Fortunately, they did not encounter enemies. Now they would be safe as long as they escaped.
"It's better to be careful..."
Zhang Yao's expression moved slightly, he deliberately slowed down and fell behind everyone in an instant.
Several Taoist boys didn't have time to pay attention to him and subconsciously ran towards the back door. Only Zhang Yao changed his direction slightly and rushed to the place two or three feet to the left of the back door.
There are tall red palace walls and several old pine trees that have been planted for many years.
"Out!"
Several Taoist boys rushed through the back door and felt relieved.
At the same time, Zhang Yao also relied on his strong skills and relied on the pine trees next to the palace wall to bounce off the wall and instantly climbed over the ten-foot-high palace wall.
"Walk!"
As soon as he landed and stood firm, Zhang Yao ran straight towards the mountain behind Qingping Palace, not daring to stop for even half an instant.
There was one of the escape routes he had planned. With his speed and familiarity with the terrain, as long as he ran into the mountains, his life would basically be safe.
"ah!!"
He had just taken a few steps when he heard a shrill scream not far behind him.
With his keen hearing, he could even hear the sound of sharp blades breaking through flesh and bones, and he determined that the owner of the scream was Taoist Qing Yu who was quite familiar with him.
"There is actually someone ambushing you at the back door!"
Zhang Yao felt cold in his heart, and the speed of his feet was slightly faster.
"Senior Brother Qingxu! Save me!"
"Brother, help me!!"
"Ah, no……"
The sounds of laughter and slashing were mixed with the sounds of crying and begging for help, which were so desolate and helpless.
Zhang Yao, however, didn't even dare to look back. He used all his strength to run away without any hesitation.
At the back door, several tall military men wearing iron-clad armor, with bloodthirsty smiles, easily hacked to death several Taoist boys with steel knives.
But in just two or three breaths, they turned around and saw that the only Taoist boy who climbed over the palace wall and ran out had already fled a distance of more than ten feet, leaving only a blurry figure behind.
"Oh shit!"
Several soldiers looked at the speed and couldn't help but be stunned, and gave up the plan of chasing him.
This kind of escape speed was something they had never seen before. In addition, the other party must be very familiar with the nearby terrain, and it was late at night, so they were destined to be unable to catch up.
"This stupid calf nose can run faster than a fucking rabbit."
"Let this calf's nose save his life."
Several soldiers looked at each other, and in the end they could only curse and continue to lie in wait at the back door.
In the direction of the atrium of Qingping Palace: the roars and shouts of killing are getting louder and louder, mixed with the sounds of swords fighting and weapons clashing.
This sound became more and more intense, accompanied by the screams of many soldiers, but it only lasted for less than half a quarter of an hour, and then quickly subsided...
…………
"Hoo, hoo..."
Zhang Yao gasped violently and ran away.
Thanks to his amazing eyesight, he could barely see the road clearly under the moonlight even at night, and his speed was only a minute or two slower than during the day.
He ran for more than two miles in one breath and entered the mountains and forests before slowing down a little, but he did not dare to stop.
"thump!"
After passing through a large mountain forest, Zhang Yao jumped directly into the mountain stream.
He had long considered the possibility of escaping from his pursuers, only to be chased afterwards, so several of the routes he planned included sections of streams and mountain ravines.
Walking through the mountains and forests, the traces cannot be eliminated at all. Only walking by water can leave no traces and at the same time eliminate most of the smell and prevent the pursuers from tracking him with hounds.
"Damn it!"
Zhang Yao gritted his teeth, clutched the gray package tightly in his hands, and trudged down the mountain stream.
His figure was a little unstable under the water wash, and the soles of his feet were bruised and painful by the pebbles, but he did not dare to stop and rest.
"hiss!"
The night was dark, and his lower body was still soaked in the stream. After the cold wind blew by, Zhang Yao shivered with the cold.
Even though his Taiyi Zhuang Gong was close to perfection, he still couldn't stand such stimulation. A series of escape actions had already consumed most of his physical strength.
But Zhang Yao's steps remained firm and unswerving, not slowing down even a moment.
After trudging for more than a mile in the mountain stream, he finally landed at the chosen place, sat on a big rock and breathed.
"It should be considered safe now..."
He turned over the soles of his feet and took a look. As expected, there were abraded wounds everywhere, and they were still bleeding.
Something unexpected happened and he rushed out of the room without even wearing shoes. As he walked through the forest and across the river, his feet were so painful that he could hardly walk.
"Tear!"
He tore his gray jacket in half and wrapped it around his feet, temporarily stopping the bleeding.
He raised his head and looked in the direction of Qingping Palace under the moonlight, his face looking very ugly.
"The rebels! Those people must be the rebels who have fled over!"
"There should be a lot of them, otherwise they wouldn't have the guts to attack Qingping Palace..."
Zhang Yao thought about this and probably understood in his heart.
Qinghong, who had suddenly disappeared before, was probably caught by these rebels, and they tortured him to find out the architectural layout, number of people, and strength of Qingping Palace.
But understanding this made him feel even heavier——
"After having detailed information, they still dared to attack Qingping Palace, which shows that they are confident that they can conquer Qingping Palace."
"And they took advantage of the night to make a surprise attack, and Qingping Palace was caught off guard. Even if they had any back-ups, it would be of no avail..."
According to Zhang Yao's judgment, Qingping Palace would probably not be able to survive this calamity.
The Taoist view that has been passed down for hundreds of years may disappear after tonight.
"This world is so fucking fucked up."
Zhang Yao cursed a few words.
He was practicing hard and refining elixirs in the Qingping Palace, but who did he offend?
He is not one of those protagonists who fights with heaven and earth and causes trouble everywhere as soon as he travels through time. He is clearly just staying on the mountain, not bothering anyone.
The results of it? A sudden accident ruined all his plans.
This accident had nothing to do with him. The cause was just the greed of the rebels and the miserable world.
