Su Yun's group of five had harvested seventy or so Reiki. After cleaning up the crime scene a little, they hurried to the temporary camp of the Gale Mercenaries.
Not long after Su Yun's group left, a dozen figures appeared on the cliff of the canyon.
"The commotion just now should have come from here," a spirit practitioner at the middle stage of the Spiritual Leader Realm said.
Shaochengtian closed his eyes, then opened them again after a while.
"The smell of blood hasn't completely dissipated, and there's a faint familiar wave …" Shaochengtian said softly, his eyes filled with doubt.
"Let's go down and take a look." Shaochengtian's figure flashed, and he directly rushed down the canyon. The dozen or so youths followed closely behind him.
"Why are there so many spirit beast corpses here!" someone exclaimed.
"There are even a few fifth-grade spirit beasts among them!" Another spirit practitioner at the late stage of the Spiritual Leader Realm said in a heavy voice, "The Reiki have all been taken away, and there are very few traces of battle between spirit practitioners around here … I don't know who would be so generous!"
Shaochengtian didn't say a word. He looked around at the mess around him, then slowly walked towards the center.
"Crushed stones … spirit formation … what a good method!" Shaochengtian murmured.
"Big Brother, what's wrong?" The youth at the late stage of the Spiritual Leader Realm hurried a few steps forward and asked in confusion.
Shaochengtian's face was solemn, then he revealed a meaningful smile.
"This was a perfectly planned trap to kill the spirit beasts, and the goal was only the Reiki." Shaochengtian paused. "The number of people involved is probably less than five!"
The youth at the late stage of the Spiritual Leader Realm was shocked. "How is that possible! Even if these few people made use of the canyon's terrain, how could they deal with so many spirit beasts! Moreover, there are at least seven fifth-grade spirit beasts among them! "
Shaochengtian took two steps forward and looked around the canyon. A faint fishy smell assaulted his face, making him feel nauseous.
"This is where he's smart." Shaochengtian stood still. "He lured these spirit beasts here, shook the stones, and caused the beasts to panic. And the nature of spirit beasts …"
"Bloodthirsty Demon!" The young man continued, "No wonder the deaths of these Spirit Beasts didn't seem to be man-made. It turns out that they were killing each other!"
"Then, when the sandpiper and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits!" Shaochengtian said slowly.
"But …"
"You're trying to ask why these spirit beasts didn't run out of the canyon after they were thrown into chaos by the falling stones, right?" Shaochengtian interrupted.
"Hmm, since they can run, why do they need to attack each other here?" The young man nodded.
Shaochengtian raised his head slightly. "The crux of the problem is that these spirit beasts were already trapped here. The soul of the entire plan is the word 'trap'. "
"Trapping so many crazy spirit beasts! How did he do it? "The young man said in surprise.
Shaochengtian sighed slightly, but the fighting spirit in his eyes burned like flames. "His attainments in spirit arrays have improved by quite a bit."
"Spirit arrays?" The young man thought for a while. In his impression, among the people Shaochengtian knew, there wasn't anyone who was proficient in spirit arrays.
"Who is' he '?"
"Su Yun." Shaochengtian said lightly. He didn't expect him to escape safely after their last parting. He was really looking forward to having a proper battle with him.
"That freshman Su Yun who had designs on the Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast in the training field?" The young man was even more shocked. That guy was just a freshman!
"Hmm." Shaochengtian felt the faint fluctuation of spirit energy in the surroundings. That was the aura after the spirit array disappeared. Shaochengtian naturally remembered it deeply.
"What should we do? Should we chase after him?" The young man asked. He knew a little about the grudge between Shaochengtian and Diu.
"No need. Lin Yuan isn't the right place." After experiencing the danger of the Nine Heavenly Thunder Beast, Shaochengtian's impression of Su Yun had quietly changed. He didn't hate him as much as he did after the Eight-Clawed Ghost Faced Arachnid incident. However, he still felt a little unbalanced in his heart.
"Let's go and continue hunting. We can't be left behind by him!" Shaochengtian's voice rose. The dozen young men gathered together.
…
After a few hurried days, Su Yun and the rest changed their positions and repeated the same strategy several times. Only when they felt that the influence was too great did they resume their slow hunting mode.
Of course, many people with Psychic's Head had already discovered something, so Su Yun and the rest had to be more cautious.
"I'm afraid our harvest in these few days is equivalent to our usual harvest in a month," Ye Ruhuo said with a smile.
"Let's stop before we go too far." Su Yun said. Those few places had caused quite a commotion, so they couldn't hide it. If the scale was too big, they might become the target of public criticism.
After all, if they carried a large amount of Reiki with them, some people would feel unbalanced. At that time, it would be difficult to clean up the mess.
"Mm, we'll continue as usual." Night As Fire was extremely satisfied with their harvest and smiled.
Just as they were resting, the sound of a flute suddenly rang out in the distance.
"Big brother, look!" Xu Qian quickly got up and pointed to the horizon.
"That's … a Cloud Piercing Arrow!" Su Yun was slightly shocked. He still remembered that Wu Ming gave each of them a special Cloud Piercing Arrow. Its sound spread far and wide, and its light didn't dissipate for a long time. Unless it was an emergency, it couldn't be used casually.
At this time, a dazzling light bloomed on the horizon!
"Let's go!" Su Yun lightly shouted. His body suddenly spread out, and like lightning, he rushed towards the place where the Cloud Piercing Arrow was shot.
The others knew that something was wrong, so they didn't dare to delay and rushed in that direction with all their might.
"Wu Ming, are you really prepared to interfere?" Blood Lion said arrogantly.
On Wu Ming's side, more than twenty people had gathered. One of them had a large wound on his shoulder, and his face was pale. His injuries were quite serious.
"This matter concerns the people of my Swift Wind Mercenary Group. As the vice-captain, I'm involved. How can I interfere?" Wu Ming said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner. The people behind him also looked angry.
This Blood Lion was going too far!
"I'm going to take back that Rank 5 Reiki. What are you going to do about it?" Blood Lion was dressed in a red robe. As soon as he finished speaking, his aura suddenly became cold.
"If you insist on being unreasonable, my Swift Wind Mercenary Group can only accompany you." Wu Ming was unafraid.
Blood Lion narrowed his eyes. He hadn't expected Wu Ming's attitude to be so unyielding.
The cause of this matter was a Rank 5 Reiki, but now it wasn't just a matter of the Reiki. It was a matter of face for both sides. If either side backed down, it would be seen as a sign of weakness, which would have a huge negative impact on their reputation.
"However, if he can take the initiative to hand over the Reiki, I can let bygones be bygones," Blood Lion said.
Wu Ming could see that Blood Lion didn't want to take the final step either. Since that was the case, there was still room for negotiation.
"Chen Qi and the others were the ones who found the spiritual beast and severely injured it. The Reiki naturally belongs to them. If you ask him to hand it over, I'm afraid you're being unreasonable." Wu Ming looked at the youth with the wound on his shoulder.
He was Chen Qi.
"Unreasonable?" Blood Lion laughed disdainfully, "Are you saying that after Luo Quan killed the spiritual beast, the Reiki should belong to someone else?"
Luo Quan was holding a fiery-red, ferocious-looking broadsword. Traces of blood could be seen on the tip of the blade, a ghastly sight.
"Hmph! Twisting words and forcing logic. After Chen Qi heavily injured it, Luo Quan interfered and killed it. Everyone will be able to distinguish right from wrong with such actions!" Wu Ming said with righteous indignation.
Luo Quan relied on Blood Lion's support and puffed out his chest, "Since you know that I killed the spiritual beast and still want to take my Reiki, do you think others can't tell right from wrong?"
"We're talking. Why are you interrupting?" Before Luo Quan could finish his words, Wu Ming shouted resolutely.
The one who injured Chen Qi while he was taking the Reiki was Luo Quan. If Chen Qi hadn't reacted in time, his entire left hand would have been cut off.
"You …" Luo Quan had never been scolded like this before. However, the other party was a real fierce person ranked eighteenth on the Ling Jue List. He was stunned and couldn't say anything.
"How impressive." Blood Lion sneered, "Now that things have come to this, there's no point in talking nonsense. Hand over the Reiki yourself, or do you want me to take it by force? Think about it yourself."
"Whoosh …" Just as the two sides were in a deadlock, the wind whistled and several figures flashed over at high speed.
Wu Ming's eyes lit up. They're finally here!
Su Yun was at the front, followed by Night As Fire and the others. They were far away from this place in order to kill the spirit beasts, so it took them a while to get here.
Su Yun stopped and looked at Luo Quan for a moment. Then, he looked directly at the figure in the blood-red robe.
The feeling that that person gave him seemed to be much stronger than even Wu Ming!
He once heard that Luo Quan was a member of the Blood Lion Hall. With such strength, could this person be the Blood Lion, the Hall Master of the Blood Lion Hall?
"What's going on?" Su Yun asked when he saw that both sides were ready to fight.
Wu Ming didn't answer directly, "Let's get ready to fight."
Blood Lion frowned slightly when he heard this.
Su Yun didn't ask any more questions. He could roughly guess what was going on based on Wu Ming's attitude. Seeing the blood on Luo Quan's blade, he knew that Wu Ming was bullying him. There was no chance of reconciliation.
The Wind Mercenaries gathered one after another. By now, almost everyone had arrived.
Luo Quan's expression became unnatural when he saw Su Yun. Sensing the change in Luo Quan, Blood Lion said, "You're Su Yun?"
"You're Blood Lion?" Su Yun asked back. Since they were already sworn enemies, Su Yun didn't hold back.
"Newborn calves aren't afraid of tigers," Blood Lion said calmly.
Luo Quan moved a few steps closer to Blood Lion. He looked at Su Yun and whispered something into Blood Lion's ear.
Su Yun saw hatred and even fear in Luo Quan's eyes.
Su Yun couldn't help but sneer. He didn't bother to pay attention to what they were talking about. Instead, he was secretly measuring the strength of both sides.
The Wind Mercenaries were led by Wu Ming. They were led by Yang Yi and Feng Muren, two experts at the peak of the Spiritual Leader Realm who had already graduated. There was also another expert at the peak of the Spiritual Leader Realm whose name Su Yun didn't know. Including Su Yun and a few others who came later, there were more than thirty people in total.
As for the Blood Lion Mercenaries, they were led by Blood Lion and had two experts at the peak of the Spiritual Leader Realm. There were less than thirty people in total.
It wasn't impossible to fight!
