104 Emergency Evacuation 3 (1/2)

White Album, aka Xu Miao's familiar, was originally the clone of Xu Xiuying. She inherited all of Xu Xiuying's skills, memory, and experience. However, her strength was restricted by the system.

With 5% strength of the original, White Album's usefulness was limited. Still, Xu Miao deployed her to be Wei Yuan's guide and guardian.

As a spiritual being, White Album sneaked into Wei Yuan's room undetected. She waved her semi-transparent hand to tease her master's future wife.

'Hi! My master is working me hard today. Come with me if you want to meet my master.'

Wei Yuan fell on her butt. She pointed her finger at White Album, ”W-Who are you!? Who is your master?”

'Ahaha! My master? He's your husband.'

”What!? Xu Miao!? Where is he!?”

'Relax. Don't shout. If you want to follow my master, you'll have to be quiet and follow my instruction.'

Wei Yuan covered her mouth and nodded to White Album, ”Okay. What should I do?”

'Things are too hectic at the moment. Stay in your room and pretend to rest. Then, tonight, we sneak out.'

Xu Miao and Long Meifang rushed to the B7 floor to pick up the mental patients. Unfortunately, the number of broken girls were less than Xu Miao and Long Meifang's expectation. Only the lone cannibalism girl and former JY disciples remained.

After restraining the mental patients and freeing them from the prison, the group went to the B1 floor, where 400 JY disciples, 200 prostitutes, and 300 workers were waiting.

Xu Miao guided them to the secret passage, which connected to the B1 floor, directly linked to Yao Lan's personal office.

The passage was dark and narrow. Everyone had to form a single file, traveling through the unknown tunnel.

The leading figure, Xu Miao, lighted the path with his smartphone's flashlight. As he was the only one with Yao Lan's map, he knew the way out.

After half an hour of walking, they traveled 300 meters north. Everyone was hopeful as nobody had started pursuing them yet.

But Xu Miao suddenly stopped his feet after he reached a dead end.

Long Meifang, who was following behind him, smacked the back of Xu Miao's head, ”You've led us to a dead end. What are you doing? I thought you knew the way.”

”This is the right way. The map said that there is no dead end, but we will run into a protective array here.”

”An array?”

Long Meifang switched place with Xu Miao and examined the wall. When she extended her hand to touch the wall, it went through.

The faint energy of the illusion array tickled Long Meifang's skin. It was harmless, but she didn't like it. Yet, she expanded her senses to scan the opposite side of the wall.

”I see. This is an illusion array. Aside from the illusion, I don't sense any trap here.”

As the strongest person in the group, Long Meifang jumped into the illusion wall to secure the foothold. Xu Miao took out Killer Queen from his spatial ring and rushed after her.

The place they entered was a sewer tunnel. Wastewater was an ankle-high, and the smell of methane covered the entire place.

Xu Miao ignored the dirty water as he read the map on his smartphone's screen. From this point on, everyone could escape through the sewer passage further north. After a few kilometers, they could exit the city through the other end of the tunnel, which would lead them to the Crimson River.

Crimson River was located north of the Mountain Goose City. It was one of the two major rivers of the Aves Continent. Across the river to the north, the Sky Duck City was there.

Once all disciples got to the Sky Duck City, they could escape from Xu Xiuying's influence and the crisis temporarily. However, Xu Miao couldn't guarantee their safety once they were with the Zhu Clan.

Thus, Xu Miao and everybody here had to make an important decision here. Those who were willing to take shelter under the Zhu Clan could proceed toward the north.

And those who were unwilling, they could tag along with Xu Miao.

After all, he had other plans.

First, Xu Miao had to pick up Wei Yuan, who had agreed to elope with him. He had already sent White Album to protect her, but he still needed to secure the escape route for them.

Secondly, Xu Miao didn't want to be manipulated by demons or greedy villains anymore since he had secured enough resources to be independent. He planned to lay low and strengthen himself with Jiang Lan, Kang Yan, the 10 slaves, and any girl who chose to go with him. As for the broken girls, it would be up to Long Meifang if she could entrust them to him.

And lastly, Xie Tian was still around somewhere. Xu Miao wasn't confident that he could kill the protagonist when Xu Xiuying kept interfering with his plans. He had about 11 months left to complete the quest, so his remaining time was too precious to be wasted by working for Xu Xiuying.

Xu Miao switched apps and checked the messages he got from Wei Yuan. He had sent White Album to Wei Yuan's side in advance, and she seemed to have met the girl, judging from the 99+ unread messages.
