Martial arts long journey

Chapter 67 Escape into the Forest
After about half a cup of tea, Zhou Yan, who had exhausted his efforts, slowly opened his eyes, and Xu Xiong had already searched all the corpses in the conference hall.

"My lord, everything is packed!"

Seeing Zhou Yan get up, Xu Xiong hurriedly ran to Zhou Yan's side with a package on his back and said.

"Okay, without further ado, set fire to the meeting hall, and let's take advantage of the chaos and leave Zhou's house!"

Hearing Xu Xiong's voice, Zhou Yan immediately gave orders.

While speaking, Zhou Yan walked quickly to the side of the nearby corpse, took off the clothes made of silk and satin on his body, and piled them under the pillars in the center of the conference hall.

Afterwards, Zhou Yan took out a fire pocket from his pocket, blew the flames into flames, and threw it directly into the pile of silk and satin clothes.

At the same time, Xu Xiong followed Zhou Yan to work like a gourd painting.

After all the pillars and beams in the entire conference hall were ignited, Zhou Yan led Xu Xiong and quietly walked out of the conference hall.

Although Zhou Yan knew that the Zhou family still had a lot of money and even cultivation resources, he didn't dare to delay any longer.

At this moment, it was already approaching noon, and I am afraid that it would not be long before someone from the Zhou family came to deliver lunch in the meeting hall.

At that time, the news that all the principals of the Zhou family will die will inevitably stir up turmoil in the entire Yanzhou prefecture, putting Zhou Yan and Xu Xiong at a disadvantage. the belongings of the house.

For the current plan, how to leave Yanzhou Mansion safely and soundly is the most important thing right now.

Thanks to the tight defense inside and outside of the Zhou family, Zhou Yan and Xu Xiong left the courtyard where the meeting hall was located without being noticed by any of the Zhou family's guards.

In addition, both Zhou Yan and Xu Xiong were very familiar with the Zhou family's environment, so it didn't take long for the two of them to avoid the Zhou family's guards and find an extremely remote place outside the Zhou family's mansion. Inside the yard where firewood is kept.

Afterwards, Zhou Yan and Xu Xiong quietly lurked in this firewood courtyard.

The beams and pillars in the Zhou family's deliberation hall were originally precious woods that were extremely easy to burn, and those clothes made of silk and satin were used as fire starters.

I'm afraid it won't take long before the entire conference hall will be set ablaze.

At that time, not only will Zhou Yan be able to successfully feign death to escape, but it will also cause chaos in the entire Zhou family, causing Zhou Yan and Xu Xiong to take advantage of the chaos to escape from the Zhou family.

Although there will be a lack of Xu Xiong's bones in the meeting hall, but when all the principals of the Zhou family are dead, who would care about a servant of the Zhou family!
"It's flooded, it's flooded, the conference hall is flooded, come and put out the fire!"

Not long after, a hysterical shout resounded from the center of Zhou's house.

From a long distance, Zhou Yan could hear the fear and horror in the voice.

As Zhou Yan expected, the entire Zhou family was in chaos due to the fire in the meeting hall, and even the guards who were supposed to guard the Zhou family ran towards the meeting hall.

At this moment, there was no obstacle in front of Zhou Yan, as long as he climbed over the courtyard wall of Zhou's house, he could leave Zhou's house in Yanzhou Prefecture safe and sound, and thus enter the vast world of martial arts.

Looking back in the direction of the Zhou family's meeting hall, seeing the black smoke billowing there, the corners of Zhou Yan's mouth could not help but curl up with a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, Zhou Yan no longer had any hesitation, Dang even jumped over the courtyard wall, and left the Zhou family's mansion while taking advantage of the chaos.

And Xu Xiong quickly followed Zhou Yan's pace, and walked out of Yanzhou Mansion with Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan neither planned to return to the mine to look for Xu Wang, nor planned to meet the mysterious bandit leader Han An.

Now all the people in charge of the entire Zhou family are dead, and there is Zhou Yan's substitute among them. Zhou Yan will never see anyone until he completely leaves Yanzhou Mansion, or even Langya County.

If Xu Xiong hadn't been following Zhou Yan loyally and replaced him with an ordinary servant of the Zhou family, Zhou Yan would have personally eliminated this flaw that might reveal his identity before leaving the Zhou family.

But this is not a serious mistake, as long as Zhou Yan leaves Langya County, no one will notice his identity.

Although the Zhou family can be regarded as a top martial arts family in Yanzhou Mansion, Yanzhou Mansion is only a small place.

Looking at the vast world of martial arts, there is no telling how many small families like the Zhou family will be established every day, and at the same time, how many will perish.

And who would notice the demise of the Zhou family? At most, the people of Langya County would mention a few words as an after-dinner conversation. It would not take long for the fire that Zhou Yan ignited to disappear.

Blending in with the crowd with a relaxed expression, after leaving Yanzhou Prefecture, Zhou Yan led Xu Xiong into the deep mountains and old forests of the Ailao Mountains.

Now Zhou Yan was planning to leave Yanzhou Mansion, or even Langya County, by crossing the forest of Ailao Mountains.

The Ailao Mountains are majestic and towering, straddling the Northern Qi Dynasty and the Eastern Jin Dynasty like a giant dragon lying on the ground, lying between the two countries.

The Ailao Mountain Range in Yanzhou Prefecture, Langya County is just a branch of the Ailao Mountain Range.

As long as he walked northwest along the Ailao Mountains, Zhou Yan could even cross the border of Jin State and directly enter Qi State, let alone leave the Yanzhou Mansion of Langya County.

But before that, Zhou Yan still needs to rest and recuperate. After all, Zhou Yan just reversed his inner strength and stimulated his own potential.

Although because of the incomparably miraculous aura of purple clouds from the east absorbed by Zhaoxia's blood coagulation true understanding, Zhou Yan's foundation was protected, so Zhou Yan did not suffer too much loss.

However, the previous battle with Zhou Chuanxiong had cost Zhou Yan a lot of blood and internal energy.

If he couldn't restore the consumed blood and internal energy in time, Zhou Yan might not have the strength to cross the Ailao Mountains.

After all, there are many blood-licking bandits living in the Ailao Mountains, and the deeper the mountains, the more tyrannical the bandits become.

Although Xu Xiong's strength has not been weakened in any way, he is only at the level of martial arts forging, and he is not strong enough to protect Zhou Yan across the vast Ailao Mountains.

Therefore, for Zhou Yan, the most important thing right now is to restore his strength to its peak state.
