Chapter 602 Strange Escape Routes Were Revealed Everywhere

The vast group of people began to flee towards the direction far away from Thin Light City.

Because of Nineteen, Jiang Yue, Chu Chouli, and the unconscious Li Dingxian, the group of people didn't travel very fast. In a full day's time, they had only managed to escape sixty miles away.

Although Xu Han had deliberately created various illusions along the way and destroyed the traces left behind by the group of people, if Yuan Xiucheng had a little more manpower in Yanguang City, he could have started a carpet-like search. It would not be difficult to find Xu Han and the others.

Xu Han had the intention to continue walking for a while, but Xuan'er's mood was irritable. Adding on the bumpy road, Jiang Lai's situation seemed to have worsened. They had no choice but to find a secret cave to stay in for the time being and solve the problem before them.

Xu Han, who had studied medicine with the Headmaster for half a year, examined Jiang Lai's condition. However, he had suffered too much inhuman torture these past few days and was lacking in Qi and blood. After Xu Han had Fang Ziyu give him some internal strength, he was fine. However, if he wanted to wake up completely, he still needed to go to the town to buy some medicines to recuperate.

As for Xuan'er, she was probably tired from shouting all the way. After Xu Han comforted her for a while, she finally calmed down and fell asleep beside Aowu.

Xu Han, who had solved these two problems, did not relax. He walked to a corner of the cave where the skinny old man who claimed to be Zhou Yuan and Nineteen were squatting on the ground paved with hay.

"You said he was eighteen? Your master?" Xu Han looked at Nineteen and asked with a serious expression.

"Yes, he is my master!" Little Nineteen nodded decisively. There was no doubt on his pink face.

Xu Han looked at the skinny old man named Zhou Yuan and asked, "What about you? Do you know her?"

Zhou Yuan was a man who cherished his life. Ever since Xu Han and the others entered the hall, this fellow had not hesitated to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy. It was not difficult to see this point. Similarly, Zhou Yuan was also a very smart person. To be exact, he was a person who knew how to follow the wind and control the rudder.

He didn't know Nineteen, but he knew very well that this inexplicable little girl in front of him was the only straw that could save his life.

So he nodded decisively and said, "Ah … yes, she is my disciple."

"But her master is called Eighteen!" Su Mu'an , who was standing at the side, approached and asked suspiciously.

Zhou Yuan's expression changed. After a while, he carefully said, "Uh… that's my… my pen name…"

Everyone could see that this old man was spouting nonsense like this, but Little Nineteen said with a curious expression, "So you have another name, Master? Why didn't you tell Little Nineteen before?"

"I'm old, I forgot." Zhou Yuan said in a panicked and perfunctory manner.

Seeing this, Xu Han couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed. He couldn't understand why Nineteen would insist that this old man was her master named Eighteen. Even others could see that Zhou Yuan's words were full of flaws.

Could it be that this old man had cast some sort of spell on Little Nineteen? This conjecture couldn't help but come to Xu Han's mind. After all, only nineteen of the people present didn't have the slightest bit of cultivation. If Zhou Yuan really had any shameful methods, it would naturally be the best choice to use them on nineteen.

Thinking of this, killing intent surged in Xu Han's eyes as he looked at Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan also keenly sensed this and subconsciously took a step back.

Then, he pulled Nineteen's sleeves and said in a pleading tone, "You … save … master, master for a long time."

Nineteen stood in front of Xu Han without any hesitation and said with an old face, "What are you doing? Don't hurt my master!"

Xu Han was a little helpless. He tried to explain the doubts on Zhou Yuan's body to Nineteen, as well as the flaws in his words. However, Nineteen ignored Xu Han's words and shook his head. He muttered, "No, no, no, listen, bastard, chant the scriptures."

Normally, With Xu Han's personality, he didn't care how much nonsense Nineteen made, but now that they were in danger, if Zhou Yuan was left beside them, he would always be uneasy. Therefore, after thinking for a bit, he made up his mind to lift Nineteen's body up and hand it to Su Mu'an . Su Mu'an was sensible and grabbed Nineteen's hands and didn't let her participate in this matter.

However, he seemed to have underestimated Nineteen's determination to save Zhou Yuan. Seeing Xu Han approaching Zhou Yuan step by step, he realized that Xu Han really wanted to kill her "master". The little fellow was so anxious that tears fell down her cheeks. However, under her cultivation, how could she break free from Su Mu'an 's restraints? She could only cry as she shouted, "You villains! Don't hurt my master!"

"You're all bad people! Nineteen hates you! I hate you!"

It had to be said that Xu Han felt a little unbearable from the bottom of his heart amidst Nineteen's mournful cries, but he quickly suppressed this unbearable feeling. He knew very well that regardless of why Nineteen was so certain about this matter, this old man would definitely not be the master that Nineteen spoke of.

With that thought in mind, Xu Han gripped his hand in the void and a pitch-black sword in the wooden box behind him escaped into his hand as if it had intelligence.

He stepped forward and walked in front of Zhou Yuan, who had already been frightened to death. He raised his sword high up, and his killing intent was cold.

Roar!

However, just as Xu Han was about to take Zhou Yuan's life, a heaven-shaking roar suddenly came from the direction of the cave entrance.

Everyone, including Xu Han, looked sideways at that time and saw that it was the giant ape that had ravaged Thin Light City that had appeared at the entrance of the cave.

Its body was 50 feet tall, and even if it was bent down, it would still be difficult to pass through the small hole. Or rather, his head was the size of the hole.

He shouted at the people in the cave entrance. A loud voice echoed in the cave, causing everyone's eardrums to ache. He seemed to be eager to enter the cave entrance, as if there was something he cared about very much.

However, after a few fruitless attempts, the giant ape unexpectedly used its enormous hands to press down on both sides of the cave. Then, everyone felt the walls around the cave begin to violently shake, and dust continuously fell from above.

At this moment, everyone finally regained their senses. They did not have the mood to ponder why the giant ape appeared here, and why it was filled with such great hostility towards everyone.

The biggest problem before them now was how to solve this problem. After all, a Demon King was an expert that could contend against the Earthly Immortal Realm. Even if he was seriously injured, defeating him would not be an easy task.

Not to mention, the commotion caused by the battle with the Demon King must have been extremely loud. Xu Han couldn't help but ask Yuan Xiucheng to chase after him. He had to let go of Zhou Yuan for now. He told Fang Ziyu to keep an eye on the old man and walked to the entrance of the cave. At the same time, the pitch black sword flashed with sword light. Three thousand golden sword images appeared around him at that time.

Everyone in the surroundings also realized the seriousness of the situation. At that time, they all walked to Xu Han's side and activated the power around them.

At this moment, the giant ape also stopped his attempt to break open the cave. He looked at Xu Han and the others who were walking in front of him. His lantern-sized blood-red eyes narrowed. His blood-stained hair stood upright. As a Demon King, his aura flowed out from his body. Even though his limbs and bones were constantly being torn apart, he could still smell a life-threatening aura coming from Xu Han and the others.

However, he had no intention of leaving. What flashed in his eyes at that moment was a kind of burning emotion that no ordinary person could experience. He was determined to risk his life with his life.

Both sides had such determination that a great battle was about to break out between them.

"Meow!" But at this moment, a crisp cat cry broke the atmosphere of killing on both sides of the arena.

"Xuan'er!" Xu Han frowned. Looking at Xuan'er who had jumped between the two sides, Xuan'er shouted softly. Although Xuan'er had some abilities, her sharp claws were enough to tear open the barrier of an immortal, but her physical body was exceptionally weak. Even a three-year-old child with a blunt knife was enough to cut through its flesh. Therefore, Xu Han rarely let Xuan'er participate in the battle unless he had to. Seeing that it was in danger, his heart couldn't help but tighten.

However, Xuan'er, who had been a little abnormal since she came to Yanguang City, looked at Xu Han with her amber eyes as if she hadn't heard Xu Han's call. She then turned to look at the giant ape standing at the entrance of the mountain cave.

"Meow!" It called out to the giant ape again.

"Roar!" The giant ape also roared at it.

At that time, Xu Han's heart raised to his throat. He was afraid that Xuan'er would anger this big fellow and get hurt. For this reason, his body had already been bent over. He was ready to rush in front of Xuan'er as fast as he could once the giant ape attacked him. He wanted to protect this little fellow who was already considered a family member.

However, Xu Han, who had already made such a decision in his heart, would never have thought that things would turn out like this in the future.

"Meow!"

"Roar!"

"Meow!"

"Roar!"

…

After the first roar, the cat and ape seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding. They began to roar at each other continuously, but their voices gradually became smaller, as if they had changed from quarreling to communicating, from communicating to…

"Roar." After letting out a final roar, the giant ape suddenly bent down and crawled on the ground. His body immediately shrank at the speed of the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, the 50 foot tall ape turned into an ordinary monkey that was only a foot tall.

He scratched his ears and came to Xuan'er's front. Under the gaping gazes of everyone, he bent down again and kissed Xuan'er's front claw with his mouth.
