Chapter 331: Safe Escape

However, they had come this far, and tying her up now seemed too late.

“Junior Brother, just stay in the spiritual boat!”

At this moment, Ren Yuning spoke to Ji Yang.

This was exactly what Ji Yang wanted!

As he watched the spiritual boat fly toward the entrance, several guard disciples quickly approached, intending to stop them.

However, upon seeing the unique markings on the spiritual boat, they immediately realized that the identity of the visitors was not ordinary.

As their gazes shifted, Ren Yuning came into view in the front of the boat.

The guard disciples hesitated when they saw her.

On one hand, there were the sect rules; on the other hand, there was the status of Senior Sister Ning before them.

It was clear that Senior Sister Ning was preparing to leave the sect, and they dared not stop her.

The disciples halted in their tracks and then looked toward the elder beside them!

The elder, who was on guard there, paused momentarily, but upon seeing the visitors, he understood the situation and quickly flew forward to stop the spiritual boat!

“Is it young disciple Yuning who wishes to leave?”

The elder asked with a smile, his tone very friendly.

He was indeed an elder of the Heaven Demon Sect, but this was the treasured daughter of the Sect Leader, and he did not want to disrespect her.

“I have come to greet you, Elder. I do plan to leave the sect for a couple of days!”

Ren Yuning nodded in response.

Although her status was significant, she still showed appropriate respect toward the sect elder.

“May I ask, Elder, what has been happening in the sect lately?”

Seeing that an elder was present, Ren Yuning inquired curiously.

The elder intended to reveal the truth but thought about her connection with that disciple from Alchemy Peak. Instead, he said ambiguously,

“It’s just a trivial matter. Young disciple, remember to return early after leaving the sect!”

Although the cultivators from Alchemy Peak were searching for Feng Yu, the facts were still unclear. No one knew whether Feng Yu was truly the one who had stolen the spiritual plants from Alchemy Peak.

With everything still uncertain, the elder chose his words more cautiously.

Ren Yuning nodded in acknowledgment and then prepared to steer the spiritual boat out of the sect.

However, just then, the elder called out to Ren Yuning again, looking into the boat and asking,

“May I ask, young disciple, who is inside the spiritual boat?”

As an elder, his primordial spirit energy was not weak, and he naturally noticed that there were others inside the spiritual boat. If they were ordinary disciples, he would have directly used his primordial spirit energy to pry into it.

But because this was Ren Yuning, he could only ask politely.

Hearing the elder’s question, Ji Yang in the boat was already prepared. If Ren Yuning revealed his identity, he might have to resort to force, grabbing Ren Yuning and forcing their way out!

“It’s just my maid!”

Ren Yuning spoke calmly.

When the elder heard her response, he did not question her further and called for several guard disciples to open the formations, allowing young disciple Yuning to leave the sect.

The disciples did not say much at this point.

Since the elder had given the order, they simply followed it. After all, the person before them was the Sect Leader’s daughter, so they doubted she would collude with Feng Yu. Even if they let her out of the sect, it wouldn’t matter.

As the spiritual boat sailed out of the Heaven Demon Sect and headed outward, Ji Yang also stepped out from within the boat.

Seeing that no one was pursuing them, Ji Yang was reassured that he was safely leaving the Heaven Demon Sect.

Just as Ji Yang was about to say something, the messaging talisman at Ren Yuning’s waist suddenly lit up.

Noticing the glowing talisman, Ji Yang’s heart stirred, and he was ready to take action.

The message being transmitted surely wouldn’t be good news for him, but now that they had left the Heaven Demon Sect, he didn’t have to worry too much. He thought to himself that he could simply tie her up again if needed.

Just as Ji Yang prepared to act, Ren Yuning let out a soft snort and actively closed the source of the message! Then she spoke,

“It must be the maid sending a message, asking me to return. I finally managed to leave, so I definitely won’t go back!”

“Junior Brother, what are you doing?”

After speaking, Ren Yuning turned her gaze to Ji Yang, who was taking out his weapon and preparing to act, a look of confusion on her face.

Ji Yang, holding the iron pick, rubbed his nose and replied,

“Nothing. I’m just checking out this new weapon I got!”

Ren Yuning responded with an "Oh" but did not pay too much attention to Ji Yang’s weapon and continued,

“By the way, Junior Brother, where do you think we should go next?”

“How about we go to Lingfeng City? I’ve heard that it’s the largest place outside of Heaven Demon City, so there should be plenty of fun things there!”

Ji Yang hesitated for a moment and then slowly spoke,

“Senior Sister, I have a great place in mind. It’s filled with many mythical beasts and has beautiful scenery. It’s a different kind of life experience when there’s nothing to do. I wonder if you’re interested?”

Listening to Ji Yang’s description, Ren Yuning felt quite excited and eagerly asked,

“Where is this place you’re talking about?”

Ji Yang smiled slightly.

“Don’t worry, Senior Sister. You’ll know when we get there!”

“Alright, then you can take charge of the journey from here on!”

“Sure.”

Ji Yang smiled in agreement and began to control the spiritual boat, heading full speed toward He Dao Sect!

Although they had temporarily left the Heaven Demon Sect, news would likely spread quickly. Soon, high-level cultivators would come chasing after them, so he needed to make the most of this brief window to return to He Dao Sect as fast as possible.

The sect was the safest place.

The speed of the spiritual boat was also very quick, not inferior to the artifact-level spiritual boat that had been destroyed in Wind Bell Canyon.

Bringing Ren Yuning along served two purposes.

First, it would deter the Heaven Demon Sect from taking action, and second, of course, was to take her back to report.

As a senior brother on this sect training expedition, it was necessary for him to rescue those disciples who had been captured again after many from He Dao Sect had escaped from the Demon Spirit Mine.

Ren Yuning was undoubtedly a valuable bargaining chip!

As long as he brought her back to the sect, how could he worry about the safety of those disciples?

With this thought in mind, Ji Yang decided not to reveal his identity for the time being. As long as Ren Yuning did not notice, he could pretend nothing happened, saving himself from the trouble of trying to prevent her from escaping.

Although he did not know what magical treasures Ren Yuning had brought this time, he could sense a certain dangerous aura around her.

But once they reached the sect, that wouldn’t matter!

It took quite some time to reach Heaven Demon Sect initially, but that was based on the fact that they had many people in their group.

Now, with the spiritual boat traveling quickly and Ji Yang urging it forward with all his might, they could cut the return time by about half.

As Ji Yang steered the boat flying back to He Dao Sect, there was quite a stir happening within the Heaven Demon Sect as well.
