The confidant wasn't the only one who had noticed the silver-haired youth.
"You were the only one who misjudged him, but not everyone else," the white-robed scholar said in a deep voice. The white-robed scholar said in a low voice. He could sense the changes in the expressions of the people around him. His heart fiercely pounded, and a fine layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
Su Yu's name was quite famous among the Black Shadow Guards, and the battle prowess displayed by this mysterious genius of the Zhenlong Continent was really frightening.
As he recalled how he had almost surrounded this terrifying existence, his heart couldn't help but pound.
At this moment, he finally understood why their ambush had been so easily seen through. It was all because of the existence of this mysterious genius!
"Sir, there is one more thing. When I used my eye technique to observe just now, it seems like … it seems like this silver-haired youth listens to those three nobodies. Is he really the person in the rumors?" The confidant voiced his doubts once again.
The corners of the white-robed scholar's mouth twitched. "I'm afraid that he didn't reveal his identity, and that's why those three nobodies dared to be so impudent. I really don't know what will happen to them if they offend this guy …"
"Sir, should we … continue to chase after him?" The confidant also felt like he had just escaped from the gates of hell, so he braced himself and asked.
The white-robed scholar glared at him. "Are you going to chase after him, or should I?"
The confidant was embarrassed, but he understood tacitly.
"Then, what did you see just now?" The white-robed scholar's eyes flickered with a cold light. If news of him letting the target escape was spread, the higher-ups wouldn't ask why, but would punish him directly.
The confidant rolled his eyes. "The target was rescued by someone, and we didn't catch up with him."
"Who rescued him?" the white-robed scholar asked coldly.
The confidant replied seriously, "We didn't see it."
At this moment, the white-robed scholar revealed a faint smile. "That's a good answer. The rest of you should know how to answer, right?"
"Yes, sir!" The rest of the people replied. They also didn't want to be accused of letting the enemy escape, so they naturally knew what to do.
"Good, retreat! Go back and report! "The white-robed scholar waved his hand. Not only did he not chase after them, but he also led his people to quickly retreat.
The middle-aged Hall Master and the other two people, who hadn't flown far, couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
"Father, did I see it wrong? They unexpectedly retreated." Linger's eyes were as wide as saucers, and her face was filled with disbelief.
Ying Cheng also felt that it was unbelievable. "What … what happened to the enemy? Why did they suddenly retreat? "
In fact, it wasn't just them. Even the middle-aged hall master found this inconceivable. "Strange, could it be that the enemy's target isn't us, so they gave up on chasing us?"
The three of them were already prepared to flee for their lives, but the enemy had actually retreated so easily.
How strange.
"Don't be careless. Let's leave this place first," the middle-aged hall master said vigilantly.
Two hours.
In a quiet forest far away from the Empire of Darkness.
As night fell, a group of people gathered around the bonfire and roasted a few small mountain beasts.
The fragrance refreshed the mind and greatly increased one's appetite.
"Our luck is really good today." Nibbling on the delicious food, Ling 'er's face was filled with joy and satisfaction.
To be able to escape from that kind of encirclement was truly a blessing from the heavens.
"It's Ling 'er who brought us good luck." Ying Cheng cut off a deer's leg and handed it to Ling' er.
Ling'er shook the wild boar hoof in her hand, which she had not finished eating, to show her refusal. "Hmph, hmph, isn't that so? As long as I'm here, I guarantee that you'll be safe. Don't you think so, Father? "
However, Ling 'er discovered that the middle-aged hall master's brows were furrowed, and he was looking at the bonfire, lost in his thoughts.
"Father, what are you thinking about?" Ling 'er interrupted the middle-aged hall master's thoughts.
When the middle-aged hall master came back to his senses, he furrowed his brows and said, "I'm thinking about how we should return to the Empire of Darkness. Judging from today's situation, we should have already been targeted by the otherworldly army. If we want to go back, it will be more dangerous than usual."
When he said this, Ling 'er and Ying Cheng's relaxed mood became heavy.
They had managed to escape, but it would be extremely difficult for them to return to the Empire of Darkness.
"Sigh …" The wild boar hoof in Ling 'er's mouth instantly became tasteless, and she furrowed her brows. She was quite vexed.
Among the three of them, only Su Yu wore a calm expression. He was leaning against a tree, meditating and cultivating.
When the middle-aged hall master saw this, he couldn't help but praise him inwardly. Even in such a situation, he still had the heart to cultivate. Moreover, he still had a calm temperament, and he was also quite hardworking.
However, in the eyes of the vexed Linger, it was a different feeling.
"Hey, can't you think of a solution? Don't you think that it's selfish of you to only care about your own cultivation? "Ling 'er was quite merciless.
Su Yu slowly opened his eyes. He had been taking some time to consolidate his Three Crystals Half Fairy Realm cultivation.
When he heard Ling 'er's shout, he stopped cultivating and said with a faint smile, "While I was cultivating, you were also eating. So, why am I being selfish? Aren't you the same? "
Ling 'er had just wanted to vent her anger, so she didn't expect that Su Yu would dare to talk back to her.
"What did you just say? How can you speak like that? " Before Ling 'er could retort, Ying Cheng was infuriated, and he flung the deer leg in his hand at the ground.
He didn't even try to hide the anger on his face. "If it wasn't for us, you would have already become a corpse. So, can't you show us some respect? If I had known that you were such a person, I wouldn't have saved you. "
Su Yu just smiled and didn't reply.
His expression didn't calm Ying Cheng down. Instead, it made him even angrier. "Look at your disapproving expression! Looks like I've really saved an ungrateful wretch! Now that you are safe, you can get lost. We don't want to see you ever again! "
Ling 'er, who was beside him, furrowed her brows. She had just talked back to Su Yu, which meant that Ying Cheng was trying to curry favor with him.
As she looked at Ying Cheng's majestic appearance out of the corner of her eye, she curled her lips in disdain.
"Enough!" The middle-aged Hall Master shouted in a deep voice. "What's so impressive about shouting at someone weaker than you? If you are really capable, then go and shout at the otherworldly experts."
Ying Cheng's neck shrank back as his face became hot.
When he was surrounded by the otherworldly experts, his face had turned pale and he didn't even dare to breathe loudly. So, how could he shout at them?
"If it wasn't for his warning, we wouldn't even have realized that we were ambushed. It's fine if you didn't thank us, but why are you mocking us?" When the middle-aged Hall Master lost his temper, he was quite imposing, and the two of them didn't dare to retort.
"Little brother, please forgive them for their ignorance." The middle-aged Hall Master cupped his fists at Su Yu.
Su Yu waved his hand at him and said, "You don't need to worry about them. Let's talk about proper business. Hall Master, have you thought of a way to return to the Empire of Darkness?"
The middle-aged Hall Master hesitated for a moment before he replied, "I do have a way, but it's quite risky. If you aren't afraid of taking risks, then you can try it with us, but I can't guarantee whether it will succeed or not."
When he finished speaking, Ling 'er said, "What? Father, you want to take him with you? Even in the past, it would be extremely difficult for us to pass through the enemy's blockade. Wouldn't it be even more difficult for us to take another person with us in our current situation? "
Ying Cheng was also strongly opposed to it, but after being reprimanded, he didn't dare to voice it out. He just glared at Su Yu, as if he was implying that Su Yu should get lost. Otherwise, he wouldn't be polite to him.
