Heroes' Prison

Chapter 658 - 633 Rapid Evacuation

At this moment, Huang Yi had already arrived outside Muyi City.

When he had previously come to Muyi City, as he descended from Little Dragon, he stepped on the soft ground and left a series of footprints.

Those were no ordinary footprints, for within them lay a Godslayer’s Mark. This was a contingency he had left behind, specifically for retreat purposes.

The Heavenly Curtain Barrier of Muyi City might be a Heavenly Domain Level Barrier, but it didn’t have the effect of isolating teleportation skills. The kind of Heavenly Curtain Barrier with teleportation isolation effect was too costly to construct, and even with the strength of the Hero Guild, only Dragon City, Main Territory, and Hero Harbor had such barriers. The other cities or strongholds had regular Heavenly Curtains. As for Muyi City, which was just an ordinary city within the Martial Arts Guild, it could not afford such an expensive Heavenly Curtain to block Huang Yi’s Godslayer’s Mark.

...

Meanwhile, at Northern Sea City, Flower House.

Just over a minute had passed, and Huang Yi’s Incarnation together with five high-ranking members of the Hero Guild had already untied all the kidnappers! They had set them free!

"Everybody, get out fast, step onto Zheng Yiyi’s spatial tunnel and teleport to the outside of the city. We can’t delay any longer, they’re definitely sending people to encircle and suppress us now!" At that moment, Loneliness shouted at everyone and then dashed hurriedly towards the entrance of the Flower House!

Everyone immediately followed, not daring to linger any longer in that gloomy place. Soon, they reached the door of the Flower House, which had been locked from the outside, but with a collective barrage of attacks, they smashed the iron door to smithereens with brute force!

The next moment, bright sunlight poured in, dispelling the darkness of the Flower House like the arrival of light and rebirth!

"Fantastic! We’re finally free. It’s been days since we last saw the sun!" A high-ranking member of a guild couldn’t help but exclaim excitedly, taking a deep breath of fresh air.

However, from afar, noisy sounds were already approaching, with a large group of people hurrying their way!

"Come on, into this spatial tunnel, we’ll teleport out." At this point, Zheng Yiyi, who had already released the spatial tunnel outside the door, immediately urged everyone.

In front of him, there was an entrance like a black hole, pitch-black as if connected to another strange world.

Following this, everyone charged forward, one by one disappearing into the spatial tunnel, vanishing from Northern Sea City.

Although the Heavenly Curtain Barrier could trap a person, preventing conventional escape methods, this spatial tunnel was different, still facilitating everyone’s escape.

"They’re over there! Ranged Class, attack now to stop them!" At that moment, the enemies arrived swiftly, a group of people reaching the garden quickly. The leader, seeing that Huang Yi and the others were disappearing into the black hole, shouted urgently.

Suddenly, the Ranged Class among the enemies unleashed a barrage of attacks toward where Huang Yi and the others were—arrows, magic, bursts of qi, all sorts of ranged assault techniques filling the sky, raining down like a torrent.

"You’re too late! Haha!" At this time, Zheng Yiyi, who was the last to leave, made a face at the crowd, then stepped into the black hole, and in an instant, disappeared from the garden.

With that, the hostages of Northern Sea City had all been successfully rescued without a single casualty!

"Damn it! Miyamoto Musashi will blame us now!" The leader, looking at the empty garden, had his expression sink immediately.

Miyamoto Musashi’s arrangements in Northern Sea City were declared a failure!

...

Huang Yi’s Incarnation blinked as he was teleported out from the spatial tunnel. His view was now a desolate wilderness, and standing in front of him was a group of people, evidently the same individuals from the Divine Ship, who were the masters of various guilds. They were engaged in warm reunions with their guild members who had been kidnapped.

"Thank you, God of Slaughter, for rescuing our hostages. If there’s anything you need help with in the future, just say the word. We’ll accompany you through Mountain Blade, Sea of Fire!" At this moment, some of the guild members who had come for the rescue once again thanked Huang Yi.

The atmosphere was instantly filled with warmth, as Huang Yi received an unprecedented level of respect, one that came sincerely from the heart.

"Has everyone been rescued?" Huang Yi asked the crowd.

"All out!" They nodded in excitement.

"Our Vice President, Qin Shiyu, hasn’t been rescued yet," Xiu Tian, one of the Priest Hall’s ace priests of the Hero Guild, suddenly spoke up, throwing a bucket of cold water on the heated atmosphere.

"Should we stay and rescue people, or should we run away quickly?" Mirror Broken, the Vice Hall Master of the Assassins’ Hall of the Hero Guild, asked. He was the youngest among the group, and his thoughts were simple—if there were people to be saved, then they must be saved.

"I’ll rescue Qin Shiyu myself," said Huang Yi, shaking his head. "She’s under the special care of Miyamoto Musashi, and having more people isn’t going to make the rescue possible. Everyone, run now! We are not completely safe yet, let’s all head to the coast we planned on and leave on the Thunder God’s Divine Ship!"

Everyone agreed and summoned their mounts, hurrying back the way they had come, racing against time. This was Miyamoto Musashi’s territory, and they couldn’t afford to linger a moment longer!

While on the move, Huang Yi sent a message to the Thunder God, Yun Sihai, and the others, telling them to retreat immediately!

Soon, Yun Sihai received Huang Yi’s message and his face relaxed. He then casually said to the Guild leaders, "Alright, everyone return. The God of Slaughter has already rescued our hostage!"

"Ah! That’s great!"

"After we get back, we need to properly thank the God of Slaughter! It’s thanks to him that we could rescue the hostage so smoothly. Otherwise, we don’t know what it would have cost us to get our people back."

The high-ranking members of the Guilds sighed with relief and turned around, heading back the way they had come. They had only pretended to go to Muyi City and hadn’t gone far; returning to the seaside wouldn’t take long at all.

...

In the Lanxi Gorge, on the inevitable route to Muyi City, an old man with snow-white hair immediately led a group of people to ambush there.

In front of them was a chariot, on which stood a terrifying Magic Cannon. The cannon’s black mouth was aimed straight at the direction of the Lanxi Gorge. With a single command, the cannon could level the gorge, rendering the players’ flesh and blood no different from glass.

"Why haven’t those Chinese arrived yet!" someone muttered in a low voice.

"We have Yun Sihai and the others completely under our control, they will come for sure; no one can escape the palm of our hands!" the white-haired old man with cloudy eyes said very steadily, continuously staring in the direction of the Lanxi Gorge.

But at that moment, the old man received a message from Miyamoto Musashi!

The message was an order to retreat! They didn’t need to wait here anymore!

The old man was stunned, and his snow-white beard trembled slightly!

It turned out that the player responsible for tracking Yun Sihai’s movements suddenly discovered that Yun Sihai had turned around and wasn’t headed for Muyi City after all! The player immediately passed this information to Miyamoto Musashi...

Thus, Miyamoto Musashi’s plans for setting an ambush in Lanxi Gorge were declared a failure!

In just a few minutes, all of Miyamoto Musashi’s arrangements in Northern Sea City, Muyi City, and Lanxi Gorge had failed. His plan was to wipe out Huang Yi and the rest, bringing down the strongest Guild leaders and experts of China, in preparation for the massive nation war that Miyamoto Musashi was about to launch.

But all these plans were foil in mere minutes! It was as if naturally, without any sign or strain, cleanly and sharply.

...

"My lord brother, your retribution has come," said Zhitian Shi calmly to Miyamoto Musashi from inside Muyi City. Her tone was as if she was speaking to a stranger, devoid of the familiarity of a sister speaking to her brother.

"It’s all your fault," Miyamoto Musashi glared fiercely at Zhitian Shi, scolding her without regard to the surrounding onlookers, "If it wasn’t for your incompetence, being captured as a hostage by the God of Slaughter, how could my plans have failed! All of this is your fault!"

"But if I hadn’t become a hostage, I wouldn’t have realized that I’m someone you can also sacrifice," Zhitian Shi’s voice remained unchanged, but tears rolled down her eyes, which appeared so pitiable to the onlookers, they couldn’t help but want to protect her.

"It’s just dying once, not Reincarnation, what’s the big deal," Miyamoto Musashi, seeing Zhitian Shi’s tears, instantly lost his anger, his voice softened.

Then, he stopped paying attention to Zhitian Shi and instead immediately turned to one of the Four Great Protectors, Jun Zhiye, "Arrange for the troops right away, on the one hand, direct the warships to blockade the Thunder God’s Divine Ship. On the other hand, ask Sakura, Black Warrior, and those others to move out quickly to encircle the God of Slaughter and his people, don’t let them escape!"

"Understood! I’ll handle it now!" Jun Zhiye nodded and swiftly departed.

"Does this count as a failure for us?" another high-level member of the Martial Arts Guild asked Miyamoto Musashi at that time.

"We still have Qin Shiyu. As long as we have her, we have the God of Slaughter. I can tolerate the others escaping, but not the God of Slaughter. He must die this time, he must!" Miyamoto Musashi said coldly, his voice filled with hatred for Huang Yi that could not be dispelled, as if it was emanating from the marrow of his bones! He had been defeated by Huang Yi time and again, even when he had been fully confident this time, Huang Yi had still rescued the hostage.

He had made up his mind, no matter what, he would ensure Huang Yi died on the Land of Dongying! Even if it meant paying a price he couldn’t bear.

"Compared to the God of Slaughter, you’re tens of thousands of times worse!" Zhitian Shi, wiping away her tears, threw these words at Miyamoto Musashi and turned away without looking back.
