Sam moved slowly on the harbinger as he watched the desperate fight they are putting against the golem kings and the Owl Kings.

With all the trump cards they will have, they would surely get out of there, and about that, Sam is sure. But getting out in one piece and without any traumatic damage, would be hard to achieve.

He didn’t have any other obstructions and just rode on the board as he reached the entrance in the next three days.

There are many people coming out of the place. After all the one-month time is about to be up. Apart from that, there would be a ten-day grace period. Even though this one month is the only permissible time for others to enter the region, it doesn’t mean the rest of the time the entry is barred and the region wouldn’t turn into an Inferno hell in just a single day. The ten days before and ten days after, are the time periods the people can barely survive in the region.

They cannot fight, they cannot explore and the beasts would be more active than normal, they could barely use all they got and try to come out of it. But even after coming out, they will have to suffer some serious injuries caused just by the environment.

As for why this became relevant, the six representatives of the six empires are not letting the people that already came out to go on their own ways.

And they even used an excuse of counting the survivors and also organizing an exchange event after the end to trade the gains. Most of them are happy to oblige, but not all of them. Because the real gains came to the people that fought for them, and the people who didn’t want to stay here mostly got into a fight with some big-wigs.

If they stayed here until the end and the scions they fought with come out, then they will have some serious trouble.

They were all forced to stay in a special inn and even the transcendent stage cultivators are guarding there. But since they are so subtle and indirect about it, no one can even find words to argue. Sam also didn’t want to make a scene. The people who are after him will definitely make it out within the next two days and he has to get out of this.

He cannot get any support from the Mov empire team, except for Yodha and no matter how privileged his identity is, he is only one man and his father is definitely not going to come and back Sam up at this moment.

The lotus will make his situation worse

He is laying on the bed in his room of the Inn and all of a sudden someone came and knocked on his door.

He opened it and saw an unfamiliar man in front of him, but there is some kind of familiarity about him.

"Buck?" Sam asked with a frown and an extremely confused expression. Even though he felt that the man in front of him is Buck, the face is not the same and he couldn’t see any form of physical disguise techniques.

The face looked as real as it could get.

"You are good, you recognized me. How did you do that?"

"Smell," Sam replied.

"Smell?"

"My senses are different from others. My sense of smell is five-time better than others. I might not be able to trace you but I can catch the smell if you are near me. What are you doing here?"

"Taking you out of course. Do you think that everyone who agreed easily joined this like to stay here after all this? This is not the first time they did this and this place is my business point for more than seven years.

All the cultivators who don’t want to stay but are still staying here are all my clients. Get ready by midnight. We are leaving. I will come and pick you."

"What if they find out? Since they are doing this every year and you are doing this every year and also it seems like you are quite successful. Don’t tell me, they didn’t take precautions against this."

"Of course, they did. But taking measures and those measures having an effect on my work are two different things. Until they find out the way I am taking you out there, then there is nothing they could about it."

"If you are that confident, then okay. I will wait to see your performance."

Sam went back to bed and waited. When it was time, he got ready to leave and there is a knock on the door at the exact moment.

Buck is standing there and along with him, three more people are standing there. They are also people who want to get out of here.

"One four?" Sam asked in confusion.

"No, I am taking twelve people in total and the rest of them already moved."

"What are we waiting for then? Let us go."

"There is something I need to do before that." With that Buck went into the room and he seemed to have been laying down a formation and took out a weird-looking plant.

He came out and closed the door, when Sam scanned the room with the spiritual sense he couldn’t see much difference. He could feel a presence of a person that is at the nascent level.

"Disguise technique. I am good at it."

With that, he led the four of them down the stairs and led them to another room. He led all four of them inside that room and removed a floor tile before shoving them inside.

Then reappeared on the door next door and at this moment, there is another person waiting on the other side of the tunnel. After five of them are out, that person went back into the tunnel.

"Where is he going?" One of the three asked him in confusion.

"To take care of the tunnel."

"How did the tunnel go unnoticed all this while? Surely, they would have noticed such a large movement if something is going on like that when they put so many people in this inn." This time it is Sam who asked the question.

But he didn’t get an answer except for the gesture that he would explain later.

Buck gestured them and they walked into the building which seemed like a warehouse. There the five of them changed into a different set of clothes before Buck taking out a few amulets and giving them.

"They are hard to make and they are only good for a few minutes, so hold it in your hands and don’t activate them before l tell you. Be careful."

With that he led them outside and then they walked out of the compound and walked to the road directly and they are walking towards the end of the street.

When they were a few feet before the turn, Buck slowly said under his breath.

"Activate the amulets now."

When the four of them entered the spiritual energy inside, they felt like a weird aura was enveloping them.

When the guards at the end of the street stopped them, Buck took out a badge and explained something. The guards scanned them with their spiritual sense and let them go.

They walked out and went through some streets before going to a neighborhood that could lead them directly into the nearby forest. They are making their way out of the city and are going to take a hidden route to the Hot spring city and from there, they are going to the seashore.

The journey is smooth sailing as, by the next afternoon, they were out and when they reached the port city they docked on, they were shoved into some fish boxes and boarded on to the ship and were only let out after they left the waters.

"So, are you going to explain how you did this?" Sam asked. Now they are both alone and no one else is there to eavesdrop.

"It is my business secret, but judging from what I see you are not interested in this business. But since you are my treasured partner, I will reveal you a little bit of info.

"The tunnel was not dug during the expedition. But it was dug way before this whole situation. The man who went back into the tunnel was the one who did it and before the inspection happened, the tunnel was already there. But they wouldn’t inspect that room so intently because that man is there for more than a month before the expedition and he is the seafood supplier of the inn.

So, they wouldn’t let the six representatives bully him too much and cut some slack. And the warehouse we entered is also his. And both he and his possessions are mine.

He is my subordinate and he runs a seafood business in this area. And since for every year at this time, the business is high, his company has to send some expensive live fish to the inn and so he would stay there to supervise everything regarding them.

And I used my tricks to disguise the tunnel to escape from the mediocre inspection. That is how you guys got out.

Now the news will get out that you guys escaped and the guards will spread out and the leash on the inn will be reduced a bit. Because, every time their immediate response is to not check the escape method, rather finding the escapees.

So, before that happens, he will close the tunnel and erase every trace of it as he is the last suspect due to the guarantee of the inn’s owner. That is the gist of it. Even though it sounds impossible and non-plausible and there might be a lot of loose ends in the story. My main expertise is in tying those loose ends and if I reveal those tricks to you, I will have an extra competitor."
