Dongyang Valley, in the mountains and forests.
Three figures formed a V-shaped formation and searched towards the depths of the valley. The person leading the group was none other than Wu Gang, the commander of the Nanyan Ancient City's city guards.
The three Martial Lords were often thousands of feet apart, and with their combined and expanded perception ranges, they could easily detect any movement within a radius of dozens of miles.
"We have already gone one-third of the way into Dongyang Valley, but we haven't found anything. Could it be that they have left Dongyang Valley?" Wu Gang frowned slightly, looking a little ugly.
Like Luo Tong, he usually has to guard the Nanyan Ancient City. Unless Yang Qi appears near the Nanyan Ancient City, it is not convenient for the two of them to take action.
Wu Gang had not had much hope in searching for Yang Qi, after all, the Great Zhou Empire was too large, and the possibility of Yang Qi appearing in the ancient city of Nanyan was too small. But now that he had discovered a cultivator who was suspected to be Yang Qi, he did not want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"Commander, should we continue searching?"
At this moment, a burly middle-aged man not far away transmitted the message.
Although they are martial arts masters, carefully sensing the surroundings and searching is an extremely energy-consuming task in itself.
What's more, in their opinion, even if there were any enemies, after such a big thing happened to the Feng family, they would either be hiding in the city or have left long ago. How could they be hiding in the Dongyang Valley outside the city
"Keep searching, even if you have to search the entire Dongyang Valley." Wu Gang said coldly.
Although Wu Gang also felt that the other party might have left Dongyang Valley, since he was already here, the worst that could happen was that he would search the entire Dongyang Valley, which would only waste some energy. If he missed Yang Qi because of this, he would regret it.
"Um?"
At this moment, Wu Gang's expression suddenly changed, and his body turned into a phantom and flew away.
"Boom~"
Then, a green sword beam fell on the place where he was originally. There was a horrible loud explosion, and rocks and grass flew everywhere, stirring up a terrible gust of air. Suddenly, a huge pit several hundred feet in diameter appeared on the ground.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
Three figures flew by and gathered together in an instant. As city guards, Wu Gang and the other two were only low-level martial masters, but their reaction to danger was much faster than that of ordinary low-level warriors. You should know that these city guards not only have drills every once in a while, but also occasionally go out to fight monsters in order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the city guards.
“Failed.”
In the distance, Yang Qi looked at Wu Gang and the other two who avoided his attack and quickly gathered together, a look of disappointment flashed across his face.
Wu Gang and his two companions had been carefully sensing their surroundings. He couldn't get close at all and could only attack from a distance. Not only was his power greatly reduced, but he also had no unexpected effect. It was not surprising that Wu Gang was able to avoid them.
Wu Gang looked into the depths of the forest, his expression stern, and he said loudly, "Yang Qi, it really is you. It really is effortless to get it."
"Looking for me?"
Yang Qi was stunned. When he found out that Wu Gang and others had arrived, he thought that the Feng family and the City Lord's Mansion had joined forces. But now, the tone of the leading armored soldier's voice made it clear that he was looking for him.
Yang Qi raised his eyebrows. He had never taken any action in the ancient city of Nanyan, and he and Feng Yan had separated early in the morning. It was impossible for ordinary practitioners to notice him, and he had never had any conflict with the royal family of the Great Zhou. How could the city guards take the initiative to find him!
"Gu Xingnan?"
Yang Qi's face darkened. In the Great Zhou Empire, there was only one person who could mobilize the city guards and had a grudge against him, and that was Gu Xingnan!
Originally, Yang Qi thought that he would not have any contact with Gu Xingnan when he came to the ancient city of Nanyan. Unexpectedly, Gu Xingnan had already informed the practitioners of his own lineage. At this time, countless practitioners in the entire Great Zhou Empire were secretly looking for him!
Whoosh~
Yang Qi's figure flashed and he appeared in the big pit on the ground. He looked at Wu Gang not far away and said in a deep voice, "Are you Gu Xingnan's people?"
According to Wu Ping, the Wu Zhou Academy is divided into two factions, one is the Wu family of the Great Zhou royal family, and the other is the lineage of this generation of King Wu. Gu Xingnan belongs to the lineage of this generation of King Wu in the Wu Zhou Academy.
"It seems you are not that stupid." Wu Gang smiled coldly and looked around, but did not find any trace of other practitioners. Similarly, he did not find any other practitioners in his perception.
"No one else?"
Wu Gang was delighted. According to the intelligence, Yang Qi had a three-star martial arts master by his side. That was why he met up with the two of them as soon as he encountered the attack.
Luo Tong even suspected that the three-star martial master who fought with the Feng family was Yang Qi's companion. But at this moment, there was no one else around Yang Qi. Moreover, combined with the news he had received before, Yang Qi was alone in the Nanyan Ancient City. It was very likely that Yang Qi's companion had left long ago.
Chance!
Luo Tong wanted to kill Yang Qi to gain a better future, he did, but Yang Qi also had at least a three-star martial master beside him, so he was no match for him. But now, Yang Qi was alone, a one-star martial master in the middle stage. The three martial masters, if they activated the formation, could completely rival the three-star martial masters, so it was not impossible to kill Yang Qi!
"Senior Brother Gu has already given the order. If we see you, we must kill you without mercy!" Wu Gang grinned. If Yang Qi died in his hands, the reward promised by Gu Xingnan would become his.
Gu Xingnan!
Yang Qi's face darkened. Although he thought that Gu Xingnan would become his enemy because of Zhang Bifan's death, he did not expect that Gu Xingnan would directly inform the practitioners of his lineage. Once he appeared in the Great Zhou Empire, he would probably be immediately besieged and killed by other practitioners.
"As expected, he is a man who dares to return to the Great Chu Empire and destroy several families. He is really cruel." Yang Qi's expression was stern. If Gu Xingnan did this, unless he did not appear in the Great Zhou Empire, once his whereabouts were discovered, he would be seeking death. With Gu Xingnan's status, countless martial arts masters would take the initiative to please him!
"Just you guys?"
Yang Qi looked at Wu Gang and the other two coldly, a trace of disdain flashed across his face. The Feng family had a high-level Martial Master in charge, as well as a large number of mid-level Martial Masters, so he was no match for them. But as for the three low-level Martial Masters, the strongest of whom was only a two-star Martial Master, he was not afraid!
"If your companions were still here, we would naturally not be their opponents, but now..." Wu Gang smiled coldly, and the next moment, a strong killing intent surged from his body, "If we kill you, we can get the reward promised by Senior Brother Gu."
"kill!"
Following Wu Gang's order, the three of them formed a battle formation and charged directly towards Yang Qi.
"court death!"
Looking at the three people coming to kill him, Yang Qi's face darkened. He pushed the energy in his body to the limit, pointed his sword, and his body instantly turned into a green sword light, slashing towards the battle formation formed by Wu Gang and the other two.
"Go to hell."
Wu Gang laughed grimly, facing the incoming green sword light, he directly activated the power of the battle formation, and the big knife in his hand shook, turning into a violent and sharp sword light, and rushed forward. (To be continued)
