"He's from the Yang Family. Hmph!" Seeing Yang Xiu and the others leave, the peak Spiritual Grandmaster snorted with a vicious look on his face.
"At this time, it's best not to cause trouble." The Spirit King Realm expert had appeared beside him out of nowhere.
"He got away again."
"He won't get away that easily. Let's keep searching. "
Su Yun finally let out a breath of relief after walking for half an hour.
He had noticed the strange looks Yang Xiu and the others were giving him, but they didn't ask about it.
Su Yun didn't want to lie, but it was a serious matter and he couldn't tell them the truth. So, he didn't explain himself.
"Follow this path and you'll reach Soran Castle in about an hour. Let's part ways here." Yang Xiu stopped at a fork in the road.
Su Yun knew that the Yang Family wasn't in Soran Castle. They were still some distance away from Soran Castle.
"Thank you, everyone." Su Yun cupped his hands at the seven people. Although they were suspicious of Su Yun's identity, they could feel his sincerity.
He should also have his own difficulties that he couldn't mention.
"You're welcome." Yang Xiu waved his hand. "I don't think those people will give up so easily. Be careful on the way into the city."
"Yes."
"He seems to have tacitly agreed. It seems like those people were looking for him just now." Looking at Su Yun's departing figure, one of them said.
"I don't think that's who he really is," said Yang Xiu.
"He said he's from Aoran College, so I think he's telling the truth. I remember the second elder saying that he gave out a few tokens during the last entrance exam for Aoran College," said someone else.
"Alright. Let's go. We'll try to get there before dark." Yang Xiu turned around and left.
They had no obstacles along the way. Those people must still be searching hard in Lin Yuan.
There was always a place to rest before the city gate, and Soran Castle was no exception.
Su Yun looked a little travel-worn. He did not stand out in the crowd. He slowly approached the city from one point. When he reached the city, he was not in a hurry.
"You're letting me go so easily?" Su Yun felt puzzled.
"Be careful, the small teahouse on the left has the aura of an expert." Before Su Yun even got close, Yixie warned him.
Yixie's solemn tone surprised Su Yun.
"How strong is he?"
"They are at least at the late stage of the Spirit King Realm. I'm afraid this will be troublesome," Yixie said.
That person turned his head and slowly put down his teacup. His gaze locked onto the inconspicuous Su Yun in the crowd.
"I'm afraid he has already sensed it," Yixie said. The people of Quicksand had their own tricks up their sleeves. This person used his Spirit King Realm cultivation to see through Yixie's camouflage. Su Yun had to be careful.
But now that he had been exposed, a battle was unavoidable.
"Little brother, how about coming over for a cup of tea?" Cheng Xu smiled amiably and invited Su Yun.
Su Yun knew he could not avoid it, but he did not understand why Cheng Xu did not attack him directly.
"No need. I still have to rush into the city to sell the Reiki I just hunted." Su Yun smiled.
Those who did not know would think that the two knew each other, so no one paid attention to them.
"You've been on the road for so long. It's better to stop and rest," Cheng Xu said stiffly.
Su Yun felt an irresistible pressure envelop him. In the blink of an eye, it receded like the tide.
It was a threat, a blatant threat. However, Su Yun could tell that Cheng Xu did not want to expose himself.
If a Spirit King Realm cultivator did not want others to see through his cultivation, other than those who were at a higher realm, no one else would be able to tell.
Su Yun forced a smile and slowly walked toward Cheng Xu. Since he could not avoid him, why not meet him for a while?
Cheng Xu did not attack him, so he must have his own concerns. Knowing this, Su Yun became bolder.
"I can't refuse your kindness." Both of them knew what was going on, so Su Yun did not pretend. He casually walked over and sat across from Cheng Xu.
There were too many outsiders in Soran Castle, and there were also people from Aoran College on the castle walls. These were probably his real constraints.
Cheng Xu saw Su Yun generously ordering a cup of tea and enjoying it himself, as if he had completely ignored him. His face immediately turned ashen.
"How was your trip to Coiling Dragon Mountain Range this time?" Cheng Xu picked up the teacup and pretended to ask casually.
"Not much. For a few Reiki, I almost couldn't make it back." Su Yun put down the teacup.
"Those things must be very hot."
"But they are also very valuable."
"Oh? How much are they worth? Why don't we make a deal? "Cheng Xu obviously did not think that he risked his life to obtain the Black Dragon Pearl for wealth.
"What kind of deal?" Su Yun was not in a hurry. Outside of Soran Castle, the longer he waited, the more variables there would be. After all, this was Aoran College's territory. There was no way that they would not notice a Spirit King Realm cultivator appearing out of nowhere.
He believed that those fellows would definitely not sit idly by.
"That depends on what you want." Cheng Xu said with a fake smile.
"Do I have something you want here?" Su Yun pretended not to know.
"If it wasn't for that thing, I wouldn't be here. Let's not beat around the bush. Hand it over. "Cheng Xu straightened his body, as if there was an invisible pressure enveloping Su Yun.
Su Yun could no longer drink his tea. His expression turned serious. This guy seems to have lost his patience.
"Do you have something of equivalent value to exchange?" Su Yun looked like a miser.
"Of course." Cheng Xu sneered. "Your life should be worth more than this thing. How about it? This deal is not a loss, right?"
"My life has always been mine." Su Yun looked at Cheng Xu and smiled.
"Before you met me, it might have been yours. But now, it is no longer up to you." Cheng Xu was also smiling, a confident and conceited smile.
Su Yun was silent, this was an undisguised threat, and at the same time, a final warning.
It was not a negotiation, but a warning!
"Both things are mine. This deal is not worth it." Su Yun shook his head. It seemed that a battle was unavoidable. It was a pity that the Canglan Academy had such a bad sense of smell. Now, he had to face a Late Stage Spirit King Realm expert alone. Yixie had already been injured when he helped him steal the Black Dragon Pearl, so it would be difficult for him to do so now!
"How confident are you?" Su Yun asked.
"Not confident." Yixie paused. "But I have a thirty percent chance of escaping."
"Thirty percent …" Su Yun's arm muscles tensed. "Let's fight. How about this thirty percent chance?"
"Remember, this is another favor!" Yixie sighed helplessly.
"You have to be alive to repay it." Su Yun wanted to roll his eyes, but because of Cheng Xu's pressure, he held it in.
"You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!" Cheng Xu said coldly. At the same time, his Late Stage Spirit King Realm aura exploded.
Su Yun's body swayed, and he had already retreated dozens of feet.
The tea shed could not withstand the pressure and exploded. Wood chips flew everywhere. The people around retreated, and a few busybodies hid in the distance to peek.
"Spirit King Realm expert! I wonder which force he is from! "
"He dares to openly attack someone here. It seems that the young man's cultivation is only at the Spirit Leader Realm."
"I wonder what's going on."
…
Su Yun's eyes narrowed. He held the Heaven Seizing Sword and stared at Cheng Xu.
Outside Soran Castle, Cheng Xu did not want to use force. However, this kid did not know what was good for him, so he had to end the battle quickly.
Cheng Xu's feet tapped the air, and his body turned into countless afterimages. His right hand formed a claw and directly grabbed at Su Yun. In his opinion, the young man in front of him was not a match for one of his moves.
The pressure of the spiritual energy did not make Su Yun retreat. Instead, it made his blood boil. However, his rationality told him that he could not take it head-on.
He stepped on the ground and quickly retreated.
Cheng Xu was extremely fast. Like a maggot attached to a bone, he followed closely behind.
Su Yun gritted his teeth. The sword aura of the Heaven Seizing Sword circled around him. He swung his sword across the air. Before the sword could reach Cheng Xu, it had already dissipated.
"So strong!"
Seeing that he was about to catch Su Yun, Cheng Xu's sneer deepened.
Su Yun's face was filled with fear. He somersaulted in the air and kicked out. Borrowing the force, he retreated again. However, he seemed to be trapped by a suction force and could not move more than ten meters away from Cheng Xu.
Thus, Su Yun's face was filled with defeat and despair.
In a flash, Cheng Xu was extremely pleased. He liked to see despair spread in the hearts of others, so he deliberately delayed his attack.
Su Yun waved the Heaven Seizing Sword in an attempt to push Cheng Xu back. However, the spiritual energy of a Spirit Leader Realm middle stage could not do anything to a Spirit King Realm expert. The hand slowly enlarged in his eyes.
The outside of Soran Castle was not a place for battle. At this time, Aoran College had probably been alerted. Time was of the essence, so Cheng Xu did not delay any longer. His body in the air borrowed force from somewhere and suddenly accelerated.
Su Yun's Heaven Seizing Sword paused for a moment. The corner of his mouth hooked up into a faint smile. By the time Cheng Xu noticed, the two were already very close to each other.
That's right. Since he had the ability to take the Black Dragon Pearl, how could he be as weak as he looked?
When he realized that he had made a mistake, Su Yun did not allow him to make up for it.
The Heaven Seizing Sword stabbed out. There seemed to be the faint roar of a dragon. It was sharp and dazzling.
"Chi …" Spiritual energy poured down like a waterfall and suddenly exploded. In an instant, the two figures retreated at an extremely fast speed.
The wind howled and spiritual energy rumbled. The surroundings were a mess.
"Boom." A short and hurried sound rang out. Cheng Xu had already fiercely slammed into the wall made of special materials.
Su Yun was like a meteor. He cut down all the trees in his path. After a long time, he finally stopped. His throat moved as he swallowed the blood in his mouth. He slowly raised his head and looked at the dust cloud.
"You're too tough." Yixie bitterly smiled. "You should know that too tough makes it easy to break."
"I know what I'm doing." Su Yun lightly coughed. He knew that this attack had limited damage to Cheng Xu. The next attack would probably be even sharper!
"Bastard!"
A voice filled with anger rang out. Cheng Xu's figure instantly broke through the dust cloud and went straight for Su Yun.
This time, he did not hold back. This attack was filled with anger. If not death, then injury!
Su Yun ignored the destructive aura that rushed towards him. He slowly stood up with the Heaven Seizing Sword. He had no intention of resisting.
