Under Su Bing's lead, the group flew through the forest. As they walked, Su Bing said, "The Sikong family has set up many sentries nearby, but we've found them through various channels. Sir Lu, I'll take you out of here first."
"Thank you." Lu Xuan nodded expressionlessly. He hadn't yet recovered from the grievous news he'd just received, but he was glad he'd made the right decision. If he hadn't accepted Su Bing's surrender, even if he killed everyone, he wouldn't have been able to hide from the Sikong family.
After running for who knew how long, Su Bing finally came to a stop. He let out a sigh and turned his head. "Sir Lu, we've successfully avoided the Sikong family's sentries. Where do you plan to go next?"
Lu Xuan lifted his head and looked off into the distance. "The Jiuhua Alliance's stronghold in the Octagonal Holy Temple should be almost completely uprooted. I don't dare risk it. For now, I'm afraid we'll have to cross the Endless Sea and head for Myriad Shark Island."
Su Bing nodded. "It'll take a little more time, but it's the safest method. Head south from here and you'll reach Myriad Shark Island. If that's the case, then I wish you a safe journey, Sir Lu. I'll be returning to the Su family to report. I hope that when you return to the Jiuhua Alliance, you'll be able to arrange for reinforcements. "
"Don't worry, I'll remember everything you've done today. I won't keep you waiting for long."
Su Bing and the others breathed a sigh of relief and cupped their hands. "Then we'll take our leave."
With that, the warriors of the Su, Yang, and Li families turned and left. Under Su Bing's guidance, they followed a safe route back to their respective families. After all, they were now 'dead men'. They couldn't let the Sikong family find them.
"Are we safe now?" Ling Jin asked.
"I can't say, but at least we're out of the Sikong family's line of sight. If we're careful, we shouldn't be discovered."
"Let Rourou out to get some fresh air first. I'm afraid she's in a panic right now. I don't know what's going on."
Lu Xuan pondered for a moment before retrieving the Tai Yi Cauldron and releasing Ling Rou from it. Ling Rou was still not used to the sudden appearance of the Tai Yi Cauldron. However, she quickly saw Ling Jin and hurriedly ran to her side. She happily said, "Commander, have we already left the Demon Sealing Continent?"
"That's right, but we are currently running for our lives with Envoy Lu Xuan." Ling Jin glanced at Lu Xuan.
"Escape?" Ling Rou asked in confusion.
"I've told you before that I was being chased before I went to your place. I'm now in my enemy's territory." Lu Xuan explained. After a pause, he continued, "Rourou, we still have a long way to go, so I'll have to trouble you to stay in there for a while. I'll let you out when we're completely safe."
Ling Rou nodded and said, "Then I won't be a burden to you. However, Envoy Lu, you must protect the commander."
Ling Jin curled her lips and said, "We still don't know who's protecting who."
Lu Xuan smiled bitterly and waved his hand. He stored Ling Rou back into the Tai Yi Cauldron and said, "Let's go. I hope there won't be any more accidents."
Although he said that, Lu Xuan had a feeling that this trip wouldn't be so smooth.
The two of them immediately flew up and flew towards the south. It was a pity that Lu Xuan's Gentle Wind Spirit Boat was destroyed when Sikong Dong chased after him. Otherwise, their speed would be even faster. Of course, that would also make them a bigger target and it would be easier for them to be discovered by the Sikong Clan.
Along the way, Lu Xuan didn't dare to be careless and extended his perception to the maximum. However, other than the aura of some demonic beasts, he didn't sense any signs of living people. Every time he encountered a powerful demonic beast, Lu Xuan would directly release a trace of his dragon's aura to shock it. It didn't cause any trouble and was considered to be smooth.
After nearly four hours of rushing, Lu Xuan could already faintly see the edge of the forest. When he escaped from the Sikong Clan, the route he took to escape was in the direction of Myriad Shark Island. He was forced to flee into Heaven Fiend Valley, so he wasn't too far from the Everlasting Sea.
As long as he exited this forest and walked a short distance, he would be able to successfully escape to the Everlasting Ocean. At that time, he would be able to soar freely in the vast sky and swim freely in the vast sea. Even if the Sikong Clan possessed extraordinary abilities, they would not be able to stop him in the Everlasting Ocean.
Less than five kilometers away from the edge of the forest, Lu Xuan suddenly grabbed Ling Jin beside him and shouted, "Wait!"
"What's wrong?" Ling Jin turned around, puzzled.
Lu Xuan took a deep breath and said, "There are people waiting for us outside."
Ling Jin was slightly startled. Then, her eyebrows furrowed and a trace of anger appeared on her face. She said, "You're saying that there are pursuers? Could it be those people who leaked us out? "
"No, it can't be them." Lu Xuan shook his head. "This forest is so big, they won't even know where we came out from. Yet, these people just happened to block the path we chose. We were definitely discovered by them."
"How is that possible? We've been sensing the movements in our surroundings along the way. There's no one, unless they can predict the future. "Ling Jin shook her head in disbelief.
Lu Xuan gave her a deep look and said, "Don't underestimate the methods of the human race, and even more so, don't underestimate the methods of the Sikong Clan. This is their territory!"
"Then what should we do now?" For a moment, Ling Jin was also at a loss. After the battle with Sikong Dong, she had a general understanding of the strength of the Human Race. She would not take it for granted that she could defeat everyone on the other side with her own strength. After all, they had come prepared this time.
"Let's change locations. Hopefully, they haven't discovered us yet." Lu Xuan was still very confident in the range of his senses. Although he did not know where he had slipped up and allowed the Sikong Clan to discover his movements, it was possible that they were still unaware that he had arrived here.
However, just as Lu Xuan was about to quietly turn around and change directions, a deep voice came from afar. "Young Alliance Master Lu Xuan, it's been a long time since we last met. Why are you leaving without even meeting me? I've missed your heroic appearance at the Sikong Clan. Why don't you come out and reminisce about the past? "
Hearing these words, Lu Xuan's movements immediately paused. He turned around again and said in a deep voice, "We've been discovered."
After saying this, Lu Xuan's eyebrows tightly knitted together. He could not understand why it seemed like his every move was under the eyes of the other side. Even when he turned around and left, the other side could clearly see it.
