Chapter 849: Chapter 849: Retreat

Seeing Wu Nuan hurriedly taking back the two Mystic Iron Treasure Boxes, they were all baffled.

But Ah Dao quickly realized what it was; he had seen this box before in the tomb of the Zhongshan Mountain Overlord, where they had also found one.

"What is this?" Ah Dao was about to ask.

Wu Nuan shook her head repeatedly: "Now is not the time to discuss this. Take it and leave this place quickly, and we’ll talk outside."

"Leave? Where to?" Ah Dao asked instinctively.

"Naturally, return the way you came. Don’t talk anymore, hurry up, or it will be too late."

"What about the young master and miss?" Ah Dao frowned.

"I’ll go and fetch them later. Right now, you are the ones who need to leave." Saying this, Wu Nuan took several Detoxification Pills from her bosom and instructed the maids to escort them away.

The maids, seeing that their mistress intended to stay, naturally refused to leave her.

Wu Nuan spoke sternly: "If we leave now, we’ll have the chance to be reunited later. If we don’t leave now, everyone will be left with no choice but death."

Hearing Wu Nuan speak like this, Mr. Dan He grabbed the two Little Maids: "Alright, alright, us old and weak can only drag you down if we stay. Better to go first."

"Old Crane is right, but where shall we meet after we get out?" Mr. Shan Hai asked.

"Three-Branch Junction to the southeast, the border of Ownerless Land is the safest. We can regroup there," Wu Nuan instructed.

Whether it’s Eastern Land, Western Region, or Imperial Capital, Witch Ancestor Mountain has spies everywhere. The only place untouched by the people of Witch Ancestor Mountain is Ownerless Land.

So, that’s the safest place for them to go.

Mr. Dan He did not doubt her words and led the others away simply.

Ah Dao looked at Wu Nuan with a complex expression, while Wu Nuan indifferently turned her head away without speaking.

But Ah Dao still walked up to Wu Nuan, bowed slightly, and passed his family’s Jade Pendant to her: "This is a token of my family, keep it safe."

To the people of Central Plains, this token virtually amounted to a lifetime promise, but Wu Nuan was not from Central Plains and didn’t understand these intricate formalities; she merely thought Ah Dao was giving her a token for future recognition and accepted it without suspicion.

Seeing Wu Nuan accepting it, the tension in Ah Dao finally relaxed.

At this moment, Mr. Dan He couldn’t help himself from becoming anxious: "Weren’t we in an extremely urgent situation? Why are you now indulging in matters of affection? Hurry up and go, you can chat at leisure once we’re out."

Ah Dao and Wu Nuan exchanged glances, both feeling somewhat embarrassed as they averted their gaze.

Finally, Ah Dao, carrying the bundle with the Mystic Iron Treasure Box, left.

After they were far away, Wu Nuan slowly made her way towards the palace, then gathered all the Elders, the Saintess, and all the masters to bring them to the Forbidden Land.

In doing so, she essentially led all the danger to the Forbidden Land, clearing the relatively safe areas in the hopes that Ah Dao and the others could safely pass through the thick fog.

As for dealing with the guard at the entrance, Wu Nuan believed her two Maids and Ah Dao should have no problems.

Of course, if there were problems, there was nothing more Wu Nuan could do; she had already done her utmost.

Now, the Elders, Saintess, and guards were all aware of the enemy invasion. However, they could not enter the Forbidden Land, and with the Gu Master’s orders to wait outside, no one dared to trespass recklessly.

Wu Nuan said: "Everyone, please remain calm and wait here. I’ll go inside to check the situation. No one must leave before the Gu Master orders, understand?"

"Saintess, rest assured, we will certainly guard the exit."

In everyone’s mind, there was still only one exit here.

Wu Nuan nodded and walked into the Forbidden Land.
