They flew upwards, bypassing all of the miners and overseers of the Deep Mines. Surprisingly, they weren't stopped. At first, Yan Zaizen found this strange, but after thinking a little bit about the matter, it made sense. The overseers don't expect anyone but officials to be well-dressed and flying within the mines. Considering the time and his actions of essentially murdering the overseer, he expected that there would be individuals who would be on the lookout for them.
It was like lawyers walking about in a prison, no one expected them to be there or knew why they were there, so they just let them leave whenever they wished.
They did investigate for days, actually. However, when they learned that Yan Zaizen and Tao had descended downwards like fools, they just assumed they were dead and continued onwards with their respective duties. It's been nearly ten days since that incident, so the two of them didn't have any interference.
Tao figured out the situation as well, realizing that it's incredibly likely they'll simply be able to just fly out and away without a single individual moving to stop them. ”Where will we go after? The Imperial Palace?” He inquired. He was truly interested in Yan Zaizen's course of action after their escape.
Yan Zaizen was silent for a long moment. He knew that going to the Imperial Palace would be suicide. When he first arrived, he felt an intense rage and an aggressive impulse for revenge, but after deducing the identity of the woman who sent him here and the Imperial Palace's general strength, he decided against it. Even after he realized his soul cultivation had jumped an entire stage, he didn't dare act rashly.
According to cultivation strength, his Advanced Aurora Soul strength would place him at the initial/mid-True Essence Realm. However, that's only his soul attacks. His corporeal telekinetic manipulation would only rival a peak-Origin Core Realm, and this wasn't enough. Perhaps an Origin Core Cultivator was a powerhouse in Presba, but the peak powers of the Four Countries were at the True Essence Realm.
If he decided to attack alone with his current strength, he would be bombarded with formations filled with Origin Core Experts, elites at the True Essence Realm, and sheer numbers all outfitted with extraordinary armaments. If he did that, perhaps he'll be able to kill many, but escaping would be a different matter entirely. He didn't believe something would fall out of the sky and help him at the last second to escape, not to mention, he had more pressing issues.
THAT OLD BITCH!
If it wasn't for her, he wouldn't have been placed in hell on earth working like a slave for two years. He would be home, and Wu Yuanxu would still be alive. He swore he would make her regret her very existence, and eliminate the roots!
”We need to go back to Presba.” He stated calmly. Tao wasn't surprised, nodding lightly in response. He knew that Yan Zaizen was sent to Chaotic Space by a conniving woman and even killed one of his friends in front of him. Sure, the imperial palace was closer, but it was more fortified and held an unknown amount of hidden strength. It would be foolish to attack it head-on.
”I'll find some way to get that woman outside of the palace when I return, then I'll kill her.” He coldly said. After learning from Tao's stories of other events similar to his, he knew that attacking the palace for one girl was ridiculous. That didn't mean he was going to let her off. He simply needed to wait for her to leave, take action then, and be decisive.
”She'll likely be a participant in the Xiantu Dao Trials,” Tao stated.
The Xiantu Dao Trial was a trial set up by the Xiantu Empire, the ruler of this realm, and they hold it every century. All those under four hundred years will be allowed to participate, but it was quite bloody with an exceptionally high mortality rate. The ones who do well in the trial would be given extraordinary rewards, the possibility of a position in the Xiantu Empire, and most important of all, obtain the Dao of the Xiantu Emperor.
