The Immortal Emperor Reborn: Accompanying My Child on the Extraordinary Journey

Chapter 152: Siege and Breakout

"Huh... finally safe." Yun Che slumped to the ground, sweat dripping down his cheeks and soaking his clothes. He was surrounded by a deep valley, surrounded by dense trees. Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows. This place was rarely visited and extremely secluded, making it a perfect hiding place.

Qinglian and Moxuan also sat down one after another. They were equally exhausted, but their eyes flashed with relief at having survived the disaster.

“Yun Che, you are truly amazing. Even in that situation just now, you were able to come up with a way to break out.” Qing Lian panted and spoke with a tone full of admiration.

Yun Che smiled faintly and shook his head: "Thanks to you all, we are a team, and no one of us can be missing."

Mo Xuan was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke, "It was truly not easy to break through this time. The enemy's strength was beyond our expectations. If it weren't for Yun Che's calm analysis, we would have been in great danger."

Recalling the battle just now, Yun Che's expression grew solemn. The enemy had come with such force that they were practically unprepared, yet they were trapped on that mountain peak. Facing the enemy's heavy encirclement, Yun Che's heartbeat accelerated, but he forced himself to remain calm and observe the enemy's layout.

“The enemy is numerous, but their defenses are not impenetrable.” Yun Che whispered, his gaze traversing the enemy camp, searching for a breakthrough.

Qinglian and Moxuan looked at Yun Che nervously, waiting for his next instruction.

“Qinglian, you excel at speed. You will be responsible for attracting the enemy’s attention and advancing from their left side.” Yun Che said in a deep voice. He turned his gaze towards Qinglian, his eyes full of trust.

Qinglian nodded. Although she felt a little nervous, she still agreed firmly.

"Mo Xuan, come with me and break out from the enemy's right side. Remember, our goal is to break out of the encirclement. Don't linger in the battle." Yun Che looked at Mo Xuan again, his tone filled with unquestionable determination.

Mo Xuan also nodded, with a determined look in his eyes.

The plan was set. Yun Che took a deep breath, then stood up suddenly and shouted loudly: "Action!"

Qinglian flashed, dashing towards the enemy's left like an arrow from a bow. Her speed was so fast that she instantly broke through the enemy's first line of defense. The enemy, thrown into disarray by her sudden attack, rushed towards her.

Yun Che and Mo Xuan took the opportunity to break out to the right. They worked in perfect harmony, Yun Che wielding his sword to cut through the thorns and vines that blocked their path, while Mo Xuan used his agility to nimbly dodge the enemy's attacks.

The number of enemies was simply too great, seemingly endless, pouring in from all directions. Yun Che's sword flashed, and every swing was accompanied by the enemy's screams and collapse. However, his physical strength was also rapidly depleting, sweat soaking his clothes, and his breathing became rapid.

“Yun Che, be careful!” Mo Xuan suddenly shouted, and he pounced on Yun Che, knocking him to the ground.

Yun Che narrowly dodged a longsword thrust from behind. He turned around and saw an enemy lying on the ground with his eyes wide open, the longsword piercing his chest.

“Thank you.” Yun Che glanced at Mo Xuan gratefully, then quickly stood up and continued charging forward.

With Qinglian holding them back, a gap appeared in the enemy's left defense. Yun Che and Mo Xuan seized the opportunity to break out of this gap and dashed towards the valley.

The enemy behind them was in hot pursuit, their shouts and footsteps echoing throughout the valley. Yun Che and Mo Xuan didn't dare slack off for even a moment, running with all their might, hoping to escape the enemy's pursuit as quickly as possible.

Finally, after running for who knows how long, they came to this hidden valley. It was a place with few people and was extremely hidden, making it difficult for the enemy to find it in a short time.

“Huh… I’m finally safe.” Yun Che breathed a sigh of relief again. He slumped down on the ground, gasping for breath.

Qinglian and Moxuan also sat down one after another, and they all had smiles on their faces as if they had survived a disaster.

“We were able to successfully break through this time, all thanks to Yun Che.” Qing Lian said gratefully, her eyes filled with admiration.

Yun Che smiled faintly and shook his head: "No, it was our joint efforts that allowed us to survive. We are a team, and only by uniting as one can we overcome all difficulties."

Mo Xuan nodded as well, his eyes gleaming with determination. "Yes, we are a team. As long as we work together, nothing can stop us from moving forward."

After resting for a while, Yun Che stood up and walked to the entrance of the valley, observing his surroundings vigilantly. He was worried that the enemy would chase him here, so he had to remain vigilant at all times.

Qinglian and Moxuan also stood up. They walked to Yun Che's side and observed the surrounding situation together.

“Looks like we’re safe for now.” Yun Che breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around and looked at Qing Lian and Mo Xuan. “We need to recover our strength as quickly as possible and then find a way to leave here.”

Qinglian and Mo Xuan both nodded. They knew Yun Che was right. Only by recovering their strength as quickly as possible would they be able to cope with the next challenge.

So they began searching the valley for edible wild fruits and clean water. After searching for a while, they found some wild fruits and a clear stream. They ate the wild fruits and drank the stream water, and their strength gradually recovered.

“Yun Che, what do you think we should do next?” Qing Lian looked at Yun Che, her eyes filled with confusion.

Yun Che pondered for a moment before slowly speaking, "We must first understand the enemy's identity and purpose, and then find a way to deal with them. However, this is a place rarely visited by people, so we must proceed with caution."

Mo Xuan also nodded: "That's right, we can't let our guard down. Since the enemy was able to find us, it means they have certain strength and means. We must remain vigilant at all times."

Yun Che nodded in agreement: "Yes, Mo Xuan is right. We must remain vigilant at all times to ensure our own safety."

After some discussion, they decided to hide in the valley and observe the enemy's movements. They found a secluded spot and built a simple shelter. They then took turns on duty, keeping a constant eye on the valley entrance and surrounding areas.

As time went by, the enemy never reached this place. Yun Che and his companions gradually relaxed their vigilance and began to explore the valley. They discovered that the valley was rich in medicinal herbs, which surprised them greatly.

"It seems that we have turned a disaster into a blessing this time." Qinglian looked at the herbs all over the ground, his eyes flashing with excitement.

Yun Che also smiled and nodded: "Indeed, these herbs are valuable resources for us. We can collect some and bring them back. Maybe they can come in handy."

So they began to collect herbs and carefully dried them. In the process, their mood gradually became relaxed, as if they had forgotten the previous dangers and difficulties.

However, just when they let their guard down, danger came quietly.

One evening, when Yun Che and his companions were resting in the shelter, they suddenly heard a burst of hurried footsteps. They immediately became alert, picked up their weapons, and walked out of the shelter.

They saw a group of people in black clothes running towards them. These people exuded a strong murderous aura, and it was obvious that they came with bad intentions.

“The enemy is coming!” Yun Che shouted. He quickly protected Qinglian and Mo Xuan behind him and looked at the group of men in black with vigilance.

The men in black soon arrived in front of them. The one in the lead looked at Yun Che coldly: "Are you Yun Che and his group?"

Yun Che's heart tightened. He hadn't expected these men in black to actually recognize them. But he feigned composure on the surface: "Who are you? Why are you chasing us?"

The leading man in black sneered, "Hmph, you don't need to know. Just hand over what you have and we'll spare your lives."

Yun Che knew in his heart that these men in black were definitely after something on them. However, he feigned ignorance and said, "We don't have anything valuable on us. You might have the wrong person."

A trace of anger flashed in the eyes of the leader of the men in black. "If you don't accept my toast, I'll punish you! Since you won't hand over your things, don't blame us for being rude!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand, signaling the man in black behind him to rush forward.

Upon seeing this, Yun Che immediately rushed forward, brandishing his longsword. Qing Lian and Mo Xuan followed closely behind, engaging in a fierce battle with the man in black.

The battle was extremely fierce. Although Yun Che and his men were quite strong, the black-clothed men were numerous and their strength should not be underestimated. They soon fell into a bitter fight.

Yun Che swung his sword, each swing accompanied by the enemy's screams and falls. However, his physical strength was also rapidly depleted, and his breathing became rapid.

“Yun Che, be careful!” Qing Lian suddenly shouted, and she pounced on Yun Che, knocking him to the ground.

Yun Che narrowly dodged a longsword thrust from behind. He turned around and saw a man in black lying on the ground with his eyes wide open, the longsword piercing his chest.

“Thank you.” Yun Che gave Qing Lian a grateful look, then quickly stood up and continued charging forward.

At this moment, Mo Xuan suddenly shouted, "Yun Che, look over there!"

Yun Che looked in the direction of Mo Xuan's finger and saw a man in black quietly approaching them. This man in black exuded a strong murderous aura, clearly a master.

Yun Che's heart tightened, and he immediately brandished his longsword to meet the attack. However, the black-clothed man was far too powerful, and Yun Che soon found himself in a tough fight.

“Yun Che, hold on!” Qing Lian shouted, waving the long sword in her hand and rushing towards the man in black.

Mo Xuan followed closely behind, engaging in a fierce battle with the man in black. With the help of Qing Lian and Mo Xuan, Yun Che gradually regained his footing. Together, the three of them finally repelled the man in black.

“Phew…that was a close call.” Yun Che wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the man in black lying on the ground, feeling a pang of fear in his heart.

Qinglian and Moxuan also breathed a sigh of relief. They knew that it was a fluke that they were able to repel the men in black this time.

"It seems we can't stay here any longer." Yun Che said in a deep voice, his eyes scanning the surroundings. "We must leave here as soon as possible and find a safe place."

Qinglian and Moxuan both nodded. They knew Yun Che was right. Only by leaving here as soon as possible could they escape the pursuit of the men in black.

So, they began to pack up and prepare to leave the valley. Before leaving, they carefully wrapped up the herbs they had collected and prepared to take them back.

As night fell, they left the valley under cover of darkness. Along the way, they carefully avoided the pursuit of the men in black, and finally one morning
