Chapter Eighty-Three: Moment of Crisis

  Fang Tian Nan led Han Guang Yue forward in the direction of their right front.

  If possible, Fang Tiannan naturally hoped that he could directly turn around and retreat in the direction behind him. After all, retreating from the right front side still had a high probability of encountering the group of people coming from the front. As long as Fang Tiannan and Han Guangyue were encountered by others, or even caught up with, under the current circumstances, their treatment would not be too perfect.

  Unless it was that group of people, who represented the power of Qingyun Sect.

  However, after experiencing the battle with the six people of Taihang Gang, both Fang Tian Nan and Han Guang Yue were filled with vigilance towards the You Ming mountain range. Especially in the night environment, Fang Tian Nan didn't think much and prepared to retreat first. It was also because of this big environment that Han Guang Yue would continue to move forward under Fang Tian Nan's pull, enduring the pain of his injuries.

  Behind Fang Tian Nan and Han Guang Yue, however, was the waterfall that Fang Tian Nan had fallen into when he first left the sect's secret grounds. Behind the waterfall was a not-too-tall mountain peak. If Fang Tian Nan were to cross over this mountain peak at this time, with Han Guang Yue as his burden, even if we don't mention how much slower they would be moving, the danger on the mountain would necessarily be greater than retreating from flat land.

  "What's wrong, haven't your injuries recovered yet?" Fang Tian Nan turned his head and carefully glanced at Han Guang Yue.

  "What do you think?" Han Guangyue said, looking at Fang Tian Nan through the night, "Ordinary golden wound medicine can only stop bleeding on the surface. As for the treatment of the wound, it's still necessary to return to the sect and take good care of it. However, alas..."

  Han Guangyue seemed to have realized the severity of her injury. Not that the wound was too deep, it would affect her strength after recovery, but rather, during the time when Fang Tian Nan was in charge of guarding, most of the time, she was observing her own wound. The awkward position and the scar left by the sword mark made Han Guangyue extremely annoyed.

  This is bad, it will leave scars.

  For a woman, even if Han Guangyue is a cultivator, she can't help but care about her appearance. Fortunately, the location of this wound is not easily noticeable in daily life. If it were to appear directly on her face, Han Guangyue would have been so embarrassed that she'd rather die.

  It is often the case that Han Guang Yue would unintentionally reveal a distracted state of mind during the process of withdrawal.

  "As long as we can act on our own, it's fine." Fang Tian Nan didn't think that much, "I think we should speed up, soon we will intersect with one of the two groups of people..."

  "Can you really sense it?" Han Guangyue heard this, first calming her mind and carefully exploring a bit. As someone who had reached the peak of the Transformation Realm in terms of strength, she still had some confidence in her vigilance. However, along this path, it was almost all Fang Tiannan leading the way in front. Han Guangyue only needed to follow in Fang Tiannan's footsteps.

  This made Han Guangyue's heart slightly puzzled.

  Nothing dangerous has ever happened. Is it Fang Tian Nan's luck or is what Fang Tian Nan said about the two groups of people just nonsense?

  "Of course." Fang Tian Nan patted his chest, guaranteeing solemnly, "Otherwise, do you think we've walked for so long without encountering a single powerful demon beast?"

  "Huh?......" Han Guangyue was suddenly speechless.

  。。。。。。

  At first, Fang Tian Nan did not think that their withdrawal would be so smooth.

  After all, in the night of Youming Mountains, apart from the activities of human warriors, there were more frequent activities of demon beasts. Fang Tian Nan and Han Guang Yue, whether they encountered hostile human warriors or demon beasts, would inevitably need to fight a battle to leave as soon as possible.

  Once you take action, the commotion caused will be great.

  At that time, it is inevitable that there will be other personnel who hear the noise and come to gather.

  This was also the place where Fang Tian Nan was most worried about in his heart. However, leading Han Guang Yue not far away, Fang Tian Nan unexpectedly discovered that he could even roughly judge the situation of the demon beast's appearance and disappearance beforehand. As long as he approached a certain distance, Fang Tian Nan would be able to sense it.

  This feeling, simply put, is actually impossible to explain even if Fang Tian Nan tried to analyze it. Relying on this intuition, he avoided encounters with several demon beasts along the way. It wasn't until Fang Tian Nan and Han Guang Yue's location appeared behind the demon beast that Fang Tian Nan vaguely saw in the darkness that there were several third-grade demon beasts emerging from the dense forest.

  This also made Fang Tiannan even more certain that his sense of danger was true and reliable.

  "Huh?..." Just as he was thinking, Fang Tian Nan suddenly looked puzzled and pulled Han Guang Yue to turn around and run in a different direction, muttering under his breath, "Not good, it seems like there's someone up ahead too. Given the terrain, we can't avoid running into them. Let's quickly find a place to hide."

  "Is there someone in front too?" Han Guangyue's hand was tightly grasped by Fang Tiannan, and at this moment, he didn't refute.

  "Yes, there are people, and more than one or two." Fang Tian Nan replied in a low voice.

  Two people were advancing quickly in the dense forest.

  After a distance, it seemed to feel that it was almost there and shouldn't directly face the people in front. On the other hand, they wouldn't be accidentally discovered by the original horses in front. Fang Tian Nan stopped moving. First, he observed the surrounding environment, and suddenly his eyes lit up as he pointed at Han Guang Yue and said: "Shi Jie, look at this place, it's not bad. If we hide inside, we shouldn't be easily found."

  "It's indeed a good place. Han Guang Yue took a closer look, then seemed to think of something and hesitated, "But the place is a bit too small. The two of us probably can't hide in there, right?"

  Fang Tian Nan heard this and couldn't help but take another look around, but didn't find any other place to hide his body. He could only spread out his hands and say: "Can't just hide directly in the tree, right?"

  The place where Fang Tiannan found was a relatively dense thorny shrubbery. In front of the shrubs, there were several towering trees. Behind the shrubs, there was a flat area about one or two meters square. However, this place could accommodate Fang Tiannan and Han Guangyue standing up without any problem. If they wanted to avoid being easily discovered by passersby, after entering, they would still need to crouch down, even lower their heads and hide.

  In this way, without destroying the thorny shrubs, a place of this size, two people hiding together, it is inevitable that there will be some crowding.

  。。。。。。

  "Not good, someone is really coming." The two hesitated, and Han Guangyue also sensed that someone was approaching this way. Subconsciously, he pulled Fang Tiannan. Fang Tiannan immediately understood and swept Han Guangyue off his feet, directly leaping into a narrow clearing in the thorny bush.

  "I've offended you." Fang Tian Nan said softly.

  Then Fang Tiannan wrapped his arms around Han Guangyue, tilted over, bent his legs, turned his head to the side and curled up into a ball, disappearing into the thorny shrubs.

  At this time, the posture between Fang Tiannan and Han Guangyue was indeed ambiguous enough. Han Guangyue's height wasn't much shorter than Fang Tiannan's. Due to the limited space, they couldn't stand or even sit upright, exposing their heads above the thorny shrubs. As a result, the two were almost embracing each other, with their chests pressed together and their bodies curved, lying sideways on the ground.

  One of Fang Tian Nan's hands tightly wrapped around Han Guang Yue's bent knees, while the other hand was propped under Han Guang Yue's neck, embracing his arm. Han Guang Yue had his back against Fang Tian Nan, with his perfect back pressed against Fang Tian Nan's chest.

  Even Fang Tian Nan's back, was pricked by a small thorn from the thorny bush, Han Guang Yue's chest hurt due to the sudden bending, and suddenly it seemed like new wounds were bursting open, painful. The two also held their breath, without making any sound.

  Just as the two were sensing each other, a warrior in the state of enlightenment happened to be passing by from a not-too-distant front, seemingly searching for something, and quickly passed through.
