Chapter 77 - Escape from Royal Palace!

After went back to Long Autumn Palace, Mu Xuan Yin went straight back to her room and took several hours of nap. This was the first time she dealt with such a troublesome matter, now she really realized how exhausting it was for the officials and politician to deal with their matters every day.

After several hours passed, the sun already set replaced by the calm night illuminated by the beautiful moon. Under the moonlight, four black-clothed men sneaked once again into Mu Xuan Yin's room through the roof after moved some roof tiles.

The four of them stealthily climbed down using the rope entered Mu Xuan Yin's room and the two of them instantly thrust their saber deep into Mu Xuan Yin's bed. However, they quickly realized that something amiss and threw away the blanket only to find the empty bed.

"Empty? Search around! It's impossible for her to run in the middle of the night!" One of the black-clothed men said.

They did not realize that Mu Xuan Yin actually stood at the middle of them but she already wore the Invisible Cloak that Nangong Liuchen gave to her before.

"Tsk… That old prime minister cannot even wait for tomorrow to finish me. What an impatient old man! Well, that is why I decided to exit from this royal palace. Dealing with these royal family matters will make my hands full and I will not have any time to search for any clues about tsunami calamity. But before that… Hehehehe…" Mu Xuan Yin was sneering full of mischievousness while staring at the four black-clothed men inside her room.

"I don't find anything!" One of the black-clothed men said.

"Same, me too! I don't find anything!" The other black-clothed men said

"Impossible! Is this because our infiltration plan has been leaked? But why she did not set an ambush for us?" The black-clothed man that looks like their leader said.

When the four of them was discussing it, Mu Xuan Yin silently kicked the hilt of the sabers in the two black-clothed men's hand sent the two sabers flying like a bullet and stabbed into the other two black-clothed men bodies.

One of the sabers stabbed deeply into the shoulder of the black-clothed men's leader while the other saber only grazed the waist of the other black-clothed man.

"Bastard! So the two of you are the traitors! Kill!" The black-clothed men's leader shouted angrily while pulled the saber in his shoulder and attacked the two of them in frenzy.

"Wait! The saber is flying on its own! It's not our fault!" The two black-clothed men said.

"Do you think we are the fools?" The other black-clothed man that his waist has been wounded by the saber said angrily and began attacking too.

Mu Xuan Yin giggled in amus.e.m.e.nt but she did not linger for long and exit the room then heading out from the Long Autumn Palace.

There were four gates at the royal palace: east gate, west gate, north gate, and the south gate. The closest one with Long Autumn Palace was the east gate and Mu Xuan Yin decided to exit from there.

Although Mu Xuan Yin could easily jump the high stone wall and her void god eyes could easily avoid any hidden traps but it's always better to stay away from it if it possible and choose the safest method.

Moreover, with her Invisible Cloak, she can easily walk out blatantly from the front gate without getting noticed so there was no reason for her to choose the dangerous method to exit the royal palace.

When Mu Xuan Yin arrived at the guard's post, there were only two silver-armored guards in the post. It looks like the other guards were still patrolling out right now but that's not what Mu Xuan Yin concern right now. The one that drew her attention was the two pieces of cake on their table.

Mu Xuan Yin gulped her saliva when she saw the two pieces of cake. She did not eat anything since yesterday night because of the problem that keeps coming.

It was not strange for cultivators to not eat or drink for several days since their body already surpassed the normal human body but not hungry did not mean that they did not have any appetite.

Mu Xuan Yin approached the table and when the silver armored guards greet some people that passing by, she quickly shoved one piece of cake to her mouth.

"Oi boy… How dare you eat this uncle cake?!" The old guard gritted his teeth and said angrily.

"What?! Uncle, do not say such irresponsible thing! I never touch your cake at all!" The young guard frowned then answered.

"It looks like you will not admit it if I don't beat you to half-dead today!" The old guard began to attack the young guard and they clashed each other fiercely.

"Ck… Ck… Ck… They fight so seriously only for a piece of cake?! Just how fragile the friendship in this royal palace is?" Mu Xuan Yin shook her head in disappointment. She looked at the other piece of cake and swiftly shoved it again in her mouth then continue heading to east gate ignoring the two silver armored guards that still fighting each other.

After several minutes of running, Mu Xuan Yin arrived at the royal palace east gate but it still closed tightly and full of golden armored guards that guard it.

These golden armored guards were on the entire different level than the silver armored guards that patrolling in the inner royal palace. Their thick murderous aura and pressure were on the same level as the Black Dragon Platoon.

These golden armored guards were golden dragon platoon in charge of royal palace security.

Mu Xuan Yin waited for half an hour and the east iron gate finally opened when the several carriages that transported the food ingredients came in.

Even all of these several carriages must undergo severe checking by the golden armored guards before they could enter the royal palace. So Mu Xuan Yin could easily imagine how hard it was to sneaking in or out from this royal palace without the help of this Invisible Cloak.

Mu Xuan Yin gratefully thanked her master from the bottom of her heart and easily walked out from the east iron gate without getting noticed by the golden armored guards.

Mu Xuan Yin did not know that her scent and aura was actually already been sealed by Nangong Liuchen formation that he set on her body so her presence cannot be detected or tracked by others at all. If she only relied on this Invisible Cloak, she would not be able to her sneaking pass from the expert of the battlefield like all of these golden armored guards easily.

Of course, Nangong Liuchen formation also blocked Dongfang Ruyi's connection with the engagement bracelet on Mu Xuan Yin's wrist made Dongfang Ruyi could not detect or contact Mu Xuan Yin at all.

Mu Xuan Yin was running for a while, after took some distance with the royal palace and made sure that no one follows her, she stored her Invisible Cloak back to her space pouch.

She was smiling sweetly satisfied with her Invisible Cloak ability and decided to search for an inn for her temporary staying place now.

Since she left the royal palace without saying anything to Qing Tian, she was quite sure that he will begin to search for her frantically tomorrow morning. So instead of stay at the luxurious inn, she decided to stay at an average inn tonight.

…..

…

.

The morning next day, Mu Xuan Yin checked out from the inn after finished her breakfast and heading to the Water Dragon Lake for searching some clues regarding the calamity.

However, after wasting several hours to walk around the Water Dragon Lake, she still did not find anything strange as the clue.

"Sigh… Nothing strange at all… The water and the canal are normal… It's hard to believe that there will be a giant tsunami that sinks the entire island less than a month from now!" Mu Xuan Yin rubbed her smooth forehead with her palm while deep in thought.
