Su Yun didn't dare underestimate a mid-stage Spiritual Grandmaster. It wasn't that he couldn't escape — although he had been marked.
"Do it," said the man in gray.
"I've already done it." Su Yun still looked relaxed in the face of such a powerful enemy.
However, his heart was tense at all times.
The gray-robed man was slightly startled. He finally discovered the abnormality.
"Child's play." With a wave of his sleeve, the spiritual essence of heaven and earth suddenly surged.
Five Spirits Killing Formation!
Su Yun's figure flickered, and instantly disappeared from his original position.
"He's so fast!" The man in gray was finally moved.
"No!" The man in gray spread out his spiritual senses. Apart from the five beast spirits, he couldn't find any trace of Su Yun.
Invisibility!
Only then did the man in gray take the situation seriously.
"Roar …" The five fifth-level beast spirits moved together in a frightening manner.
The man in gray didn't care. With a flick of his wrist, he defeated the first wave of attacks.
Inside the Five Spirits Killing Formation, the man in gray was able to deal with them with ease. He didn't have much time to waste on Su Yun, so he had to end the battle quickly.
Invisible, Su Yun kept moving, looking for an opportunity to strike. He knew that the man in gray would see through his disguise soon, so he had to end the battle as soon as possible.
"Boom …" The five beast spirits were defeated again.
There seemed to be a flash of light. Su Yun made his move!
The light from the sword faded as soon as it appeared. The man in gray hadn't pulled back his sleeve yet, so he only had time to lean sideways.
The sword pierced his body like wood. Not a drop of blood was seen even after the Heaven-Seizing Sword was pulled out.
The man in gray took two steps back. His robe was slowly soaked with blood.
"You …" The man in gray had never expected to be hurt by a Spiritual Leader. He couldn't figure out what had happened even if he tried!
Was it because the sword was too sharp, or because the light was too blinding? Either way, he hadn't been able to dodge that seemingly simple attack.
Su Yun shook his head. Unfortunately, the man in gray had missed his vitals. That attack had only seriously injured him. It was impossible to finish him off now.
He definitely knew that he couldn't take down Su Yun now, so …
Su Yun exerted force under his feet, and his figure suddenly flickered, disappearing into the forest in an instant.
And the moment Su Yun moved, an arrow pierced through the clouds, letting out a shrill whistle.
Su Yun did not turn around. He knew that this was a signal from the man in the grey robe to Quicksand. He had no time to waste.
"You should deal with your own aura first. Although I can help you cover up your aura, you still have to deal with the things left behind by the gray-robed man." Yixie's voice sounded. Su Yun realized that he had almost made a fatal mistake!
Su Yun, who was moving at full speed, began to circulate the Nine Revolutions Primordial Chaos Technique. Purple Qi slowly emerged from his body and circulated throughout his body. Soon, he discovered the foreign aura hidden in his right arm.
"This hidden aura is so strong!" Su Yun felt that if he wanted to completely erase this aura, he would need at least an hour. He had no time to deal with it now!
"It's too late!" He was sure that there were Spiritual King Realm cultivators among Quicksand's men. If he was caught by them, he would have to pay a heavy price to get away!
Activating the Nine Revolutions Primordial Chaos Technique, he knew that it would not be easy for a Spiritual Leader Realm cultivator to shake the seed that a Spiritual Grandmaster Realm cultivator had carefully planted.
After half an incense stick of time, Su Yun could already feel a slight change in his body.
Chaotic aura!
That was the only thing that could drive it away.
"Wouldn't it be a pity to erase it just like that?" Su Yun could sense the dangerous fluctuations of spiritual essence in the distance.
Su Yun's footsteps changed, and he headed deep into the forest.
"I'll beat you at your own game!" Using his spiritual senses, Su Yun soon discovered a fifth-rank spiritual beast.
It was a Golden-Winged Dragon Eagle that could fly!
The Golden-Winged Dragon Eagle was very sensitive. It sensed Su Yun's approach from afar. Although it was on high alert, it didn't fly away immediately, because the way it saw it, this human wasn't much of a threat.
Su Yun's lips curled. He didn't show any hostility at all and only approached unhurriedly.
When he was only three hundred feet away, Su Yun stomped on the ground. It seemed violent, but it made no sound. He then shot toward the Golden-Winged Dragon Eagle.
He was so fast that even the Golden-Winged Dragon Eagle could only spread its wings. Before it could fly fifteen feet, Su Yun had hit it.
However, this seemingly powerful strike was as light as cotton when it landed on the Golden-Winged Dragon Eagle. With a flap of its wings, the Golden-Winged Dragon Eagle turned into a streak of golden light, streaking across the sky and disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Su Yun didn't chase after it, nor did he linger. He chose a direction and dashed off.
"What a good move." Yixie's voice rang out.
"There's more than one Spiritual King Realm expert. If they catch up, I won't be able to escape by myself." Su Yun smiled bitterly.
"Now, they're already chasing after the Golden-Winged Dragon Eagle." Yixie said.
"This trick will soon be seen through by them, but, I think it should be enough for me to escape." Su Yun laughed.
Deep in the forest, Su Yun only cared about moving forward. That direction was probably where Soran Castle was located.
From afar, Su Yun felt a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy. Thinking that there should be people fighting with spirit beasts, Su Yun's heart skipped a beat, and he dashed in that direction.
"A team of seven. It seems like they're not from Quicksand!" Su Yun looked excited.
The leader of the team was dressed in white, and the seven of them were good at attacking and defending. They were attacking a sixth-grade spirit beast.
This team wasn't weak at all. The most powerful one was an intermediate Spiritual Grandmaster!
Su Yun wasn't in a hurry to go out. He had to be careful at the moment. One careless move and he would lose everything. Of course, he didn't dare act rashly before he could confirm the other party's identity.
A person rose into the air and pointed his sword at the spirit beast's vital point. Su Yun, who was hiding on the treetop, had his eyes lit up and all the doubts in his heart disappeared. Instead, there was a strange smile on his face.
"My friend, you've been watching us for a long time. Why don't you show yourself?" The leader in white put away his sword.
The sixth-grade spirit beast had fallen and was no longer able to fight back. The others were busy picking up the spoils.
Not long after they arrived, Su Yun stopped hiding and stood gracefully on a tree branch. He jumped lightly and landed soundlessly.
"Brother, you're very perceptive. How should I address you?" Su Yun believed that although he wasn't trying to hide himself, Yixie's power was still there. The fact that this man could sense his presence so early on meant that he had to be extraordinary.
"I'm Yang Xiu." Although the man in white was a level higher than Su Yun, he knew that the teenager wasn't as simple as he seemed.
"Are you from the Yang Family, one of the seven major families outside Soran Castle?" Su Yun asked with a smile.
"That's right." The man in white was gentle.
"I'm Liuyun, a student of Aoran College. I went to Lin Yuan alone in search of some herbs and only learned that Lin Yuan is a dangerous place. May I come back with you?" asked Su Yun.
Yang Xiu looked at Su Yun and didn't say anything right away.
Su Yun wasn't surprised. After all, he had to be careful when he met a stranger in the wilderness.
"I have some connections with the Yang Family. It's fate that I met you." Su Yun flipped his hand and took out a token with the word "Yang" engraved on it.
Yang Xiu's expression changed, he extended his hand to take the order badge, looked at it twice, then returned it to Su Yun.
"Since you're a friend of my Yang Family, why didn't you say so earlier?" Yang Xiu said with a smile, "We've just finished our hunting mission and are preparing to go back. Let's go together so we can take care of each other."
"Thank you." Su Yun cupped his hands.
"You're welcome."
When the group found out that Su Yun had the Yang Family's token, they all showed goodwill. After resting for a while, they set off.
According to Yang Xiu, it would take the eight of them two days to reach Soran Castle.
Even the weakest of the eight was at the middle stage of the Spiritual Leader Realm, so they were quite fast.
"It seems that they'll catch up with us." Su Yun didn't dare to let his guard down.
Nothing happened for the rest of the day.
At noon the next day.
The eight of them were on their way to Soran Castle when several powerful auras appeared around them.
The eight of them stopped and went on the defensive. They could sense that these people didn't come with good intentions.
"I don't sense the Black Dragon Pearl among them." A peak Spiritual Grandmaster stood in the distance and said to the eight of them.
"We'd rather kill the wrong person than let them go." Another man looked arrogant. He was a Spiritual King!
"Go and have a look. Remember, don't get into trouble," the Spiritual King said to the man next to him.
"Yes, sir!" He disappeared as soon as he answered.
"Why are you doing this?" Yang Xiu was neither servile nor overbearing, despite the strength of the newcomers.
"Who are you?" The peak Spiritual Grandmaster walked up from behind them.
"We're from the Yang Family outside Soran Castle. What can I do for you, my friend?" Yang Xiu stepped forward.
The man glanced at the eight of them and rested his eyes on Yang Xiu. "You're from the Yang Family? Have you seen a Spiritual Leader Realm teenager in a green robe? "
Su Yun had put on a simple disguise after getting rid of the man in the gray robe. Right now, he was wearing the same white robe as the other seven people.
"No." Yang Xiu didn't sound friendly at the man's arrogant attitude.
The man didn't leave just because of Yang Xiu's words. Instead, he kept walking and glanced at the eight of them, as if suspecting that the person he was tracking was among them.
"If you don't have anything else to say, please make way. We need to keep going." Yang Xiu was already displeased.
"Why are you in such a hurry? You must be up to something."
"That's ridiculous." The eight of them didn't try to hide the hostility in their eyes.
The peak Spiritual Grandmaster didn't know what to do. It seemed that the guy wasn't among them.
"Are you giving me a hard time on purpose?" Yang Xiu wasn't scared at all despite the disadvantage.
The man stared at Yang Xiu, as if trying to find something in his eyes, but failed.
"Make way!"
