Xia Luokui kept an eye on Qin Long, but would turn to look at Su Yun every now and then. He couldn't understand how Su Yun had been able to see through all this when he was only at the early stage of the Spiritual Leader Stage!
Even Qin Long might not have been able to see through their little tricks!
"They're about to make a move!" Su Yun's eyes narrowed and he looked nervous.
Xia Luokui kept an eye on them as well. As soon as Su Yun said that, the people in the cage exchanged glances, and a burst of spiritual energy suddenly exploded in the cage.
At the same time, the dozens of people outside the cage became agitated. Spiritual energy surged out of them. Although they were in bad shape, there were so many of them that the commotion caused was impressive.
As soon as Qin Long noticed this change, he soared into the air. He turned around in the air and looked down. An astonishing pressure of spiritual energy poured down, and the surrounding members of the Dragon Shadow Mercenary Group also reacted quickly.
An unknown array formation was instantly formed, enveloping the entire area within it, leaving no room for escape.
"Can any of them really escape from such a formation?" Su Yun couldn't help but wonder. With a powerful cultivator at the peak of the Spiritual Grandmaster Stage controlling the situation and suppressing them with a formation, it would be very difficult for the Spiritual Leader Stage cultivators to break through.
He wondered if Qin Long was aware of this and if he would go easy on them.
"Follow him when the time comes," said Xia Luokui.
Following Xia Luokui's gaze, Su Yun saw the cultivator at the peak of the Spiritual Leader Stage who had been leaning against the iron and giving off mysterious waves of energy.
"Is he Yao Shiqi?" asked Su Yun.
The Quicksand Mercenaries were ranked from top to bottom, and Yao Shiqi was ranked 17th among the Quicksand Mercenaries.
"Yes, among these people, the one most likely to escape is him," Xia Luokui said.
Su Yun stared at him without blinking. A moment later, Yao Shiqi seemed to sense something and looked in Su Yun's direction warily. With a puzzled look in his eyes, he turned back and went back to what he was doing, as if nothing had happened.
"He's not easy to deal with," Su Yun said as he shifted his body an inch away from the tree trunk and glanced at Demon Seventeen.
"Apart from his sensitive senses, his ability to use a special ability is even more shocking," Xia Luokui said.
Back when they were on the high platform, the two of them had already set their sights on Demon Seventeen. Naturally, they had done a thorough investigation on him.
"Let's just wait for him to escape before reuniting with him," Su Yun said.
"It's better to let a few of them go so that you won't arouse their suspicions," Sherlock said.
"The first twenty members of the Quicksand Mercenaries are the leaders, and they're divided into groups. The rest of the members aren't familiar with each other, so it won't be difficult to sneak in," Su Yun said.
Xia Luokui did not say anything else, because at this time, the Quicksand captives had begun to charge out fearlessly!
Inside the cage, many people began to mobilize their spiritual energy to attack.
Although it was like a mayfly trying to shake a tree, it still caused quite a commotion.
Qin Long slowly descended. As a peak Spiritual Grandmaster, he couldn't stay airborne for long.
His target had always been the twenty or so captives in the cage.
"This is a mess," Su Yun said in a low voice. He didn't expect these guys to be so crazy.
"It seems that they're confident that Dragon's Shadow won't kill them." Xia Luokui snorted.
"That should be enough." Su Yun was even more focused.
Qin Long knew that if this went on, some of them would try to sneak away.
"Everyone, suppress them! Medicine, here!" Qin Long shouted, and the formation below them pressed down with powerful spiritual energy.
The medicine was none other than the Spirit-dispersing Pill. It was an easy pill to make, and the ingredients were cheap. Just as its name suggested, it could disperse one's spiritual energy. However, the higher one's cultivation level was, the less effective the Spirit-dispersing Pill would be.
Hearing this, the Quicksand captives went even crazier. They began to charge at the formation with reckless abandon. Some of them even cursed.
That was how the Quicksand captives behaved. They were a bunch of ruthless bandits, and many of them deserved to die.
Su Yun noticed that while most of the captives in the cage were trying their best to stir up the situation, Yao Shiqi seemed to be the calmest.
The formation had been suppressed, but the crowd below was still in an uproar.
When the spirit energy that they had recovered was exhausted, the scene gradually became cold and silent.
Just then, Su Yun realized with a start that Yao Shiqi had disappeared into thin air!
"Where did he go?!" Su Yun's stomach lurched. Yao Shiqi had disappeared in the blink of an eye!
"To the left. He just escaped." Xia Luokui looked unperturbed. Clearly, this was all within his expectations.
Su Yun cautiously spread out his spiritual senses. A moment later, he sensed an almost non-existent aura.
That aura was slowly moving away.
"Wait! There's more than one person! "Su Yun realized with a start that there was a second person in the formation!
Su Yun looked at Xia Luokui strangely. Xia Luokui was as calm as a mountain, as if he was waiting for something.
"Boom …" An attack landed. The attack seemed soft, but it caused the formation to collapse in an instant!
The Life Gate of the formation! Someone had seen through it!
"Everyone, split up!" Someone shouted. The Quicksand captives were stunned for half a second. Then, they scattered like birds and beasts!
"Surround them!" Qin Long's face was as red as a pig's liver. He had not expected these people to scatter right under his nose!
The cage had not been opened, but it was already in full swing outside.
Su Yun was puzzled. It seemed that Qin Long was not deliberately going easy on them. However, did he really not notice that two people were missing from the cage?
As soon as he thought of this, Qin Long's expression changed. His body suddenly shot out!
He had noticed!
In the distance, two hidden auras were moving carefully. The moment Qin Long's body shot out, the two of them suddenly sped up. Moreover, they were moving in different directions.
"Well done. We'll be fine here." Xia Luokui felt as if a rock had been lifted from his chest. Seeing that the men of Dragon's Shadow had caught those who were trying to escape, he spoke.
"Let's go. It's up to you now." Xia Luokui turned around.
Su Yun had changed his appearance and was no longer the same as before.
"Alright." Su Yun followed Xia Luokui.
The sky was high and the ground was far away. Even a peak Spiritual Grandmaster like Qin Long would not be able to catch them.
It was just that Su Yun had always been suspicious, was Qin Long purposely going easy on him?
Su Yun followed Xia Luokui, but found that the latter wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he wandered leisurely through the forest.
Almost 15 minutes later, Su Yun sensed a powerful aura flash past in the distance.
"Qin Long is back. As expected, he failed to catch those two," said Xia Luokui, unsurprised.
"Where did they go?" asked Su Yun.
Xia Luokui didn't answer. Spiritual essence flashed in his hand, and he struck out as fast as lightning. There seemed to be the faint cry of a dragon.
"Bang …"
Su Yun was caught off guard and was directly sent flying by the palm strike. His body brushed past the tall branches and retreated nearly 60 meters before he could stop himself.
"Pfft …" Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Su Yun looked up abruptly. His insides were in turmoil, as if some kind of energy had invaded his body.
Ignoring everything else, Su Yun activated the Nine Transformation Chaos Manual with all his might to suppress the energy.
He couldn't figure out why Xia Luokui had suddenly attacked him.
Soon, Xia Luokui appeared in front of Su Yun in a flash.
Su Yun dodged instinctively and pushed him aside. He looked at Xia Luokui warily. He was dumbfounded.
"Don't worry. I won't attack you again." Xia Luokui smiled and inched closer.
Although Su Yun was vigilant, he didn't dodge again.
"Teacher, what do you mean?" Su Yun looked at Xia Luokui and asked.
Seeing Su Yun's expression, Xia Luokui couldn't help but smile. "Feel it carefully. Although this palm made you spit out blood, it didn't cause any damage."
When Su Yun heard this, he looked inside his body. Sure enough, there was no major problem. Moreover, the strange energy didn't cause too much trouble. It was quickly suppressed by Su Yun and dissipated not long after.
With Xia Luokui's strength, if he really wanted to attack him, he wouldn't be standing here now.
After figuring out this key point, Su Yun's expression relaxed a little. "Teacher, please give me a reasonable explanation."
After all, he had been hit for no reason. Su Yun was still a little unhappy, and his tone was less polite.
"If you go over like this, what are the chances of you deceiving them?" Xia Luokui asked instead of answering.
"Could it be …" Su Yun carefully felt the residual energy that had invaded his body. It was faintly similar to the energy emitted by the Dragon's Shadow formation.
"This way, the chances of success will be higher," Xia Luokui said.
Su Yun saw a playful smile on Xia Luokui's face. He wanted to ask him why he didn't say so earlier, but he swallowed his words.
This guy had acted like this when he dealt with Ye Liangsheng last time. He was clearly doing it on purpose.
Su Yun didn't bother with him. He reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled provocatively at Xia Luokui.
Xia Luokui's expression froze. He seemed to have received some kind of signal from Su Yun's expression.
"Good boy, I'll wait for you." Xia Luokui smiled slightly.
"Let's go. We can go over now." Xia Luokui ignored Su Yun's troublesome smile and said.
"Lead the way." Su Yun shouted in a carefree manner.
Xia Luokui glanced at him, then his figure instantly rushed out. He was extremely fast and disappeared into the forest in the blink of an eye.
This Xia Luokui was also an interesting person.
Su Yun didn't dare to delay. He instantly activated the Black Clouded Crane and flew through the air. He stepped on the ground and his figure floated, following the aura that Xia Luokui had left behind.
On Qin Long's side, the tiger had returned to the mountain. He could only regroup and continue to escort the remaining Quicksand captives to the West Sea.
The two of them leaped through the forest for about an hour before Xia Luokui stopped.
After a cup of tea's time, Su Yun appeared behind Xia Luokui, panting.
"It's right in front." Xia Luokui looked back at Su Yun. He didn't expect this guy to be so fast.
"Yes." It was more reasonable for him to be this tired. Su Yun comforted himself in his heart.
