"stop!"
After walking for about half a day, the middle-aged man in the lead suddenly stopped.
"arrive?"
Seeing that the peak emperor leading the team suddenly stopped, an idea flashed through the minds of Yang Qi and others, but this idea did not last long. The reason was very simple, because they did not detect any powerful aura in their perception.
The middle-aged man in the lead ignored the thoughts of Yang Qi and the others, and turned to a peak emperor beside him and said, "Third brother, we will go first, and they will be handed over to you."
"Yes." The peak emperor nodded.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
The middle-aged man in the lead did not linger. With a flash of his body, he immediately took his seven companions and flew towards the depths of the forest, leaving behind only a peak emperor, a high-level emperor, and Yang Qi and his seven companions.
“It is indeed so!”
Yang Qi and the others looked at each other, their expressions were unusually calm. They had already expected this. After all, since the middle-aged man had not revealed his true purpose before, they had guessed that the other party would never let outsiders know their true intentions.
Fortunately, they are all high-level emperors who have lived for countless years, so they would not be dissatisfied with the middle-aged man because of this.
The peak emperor glanced at Yang Qi and the others, and then said in a deep voice, "Follow me."
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
Immediately afterwards, under the leadership of the peak emperor, Yang Qi and his party immediately rushed in another direction. After walking for about several hours, they stopped.
"arrive."
The peak emperor spoke, and then looked at Yang Qi and the others, saying, "Our mission is to stop the nearby blood-marked demon wolves. We just need to prevent them from breaking through our defense within an incense stick."
The time of one stick of incense!
After these words came out, several high-level emperors could not help but frown. It was not an easy task to stop a large number of blood-marked demon wolves at the high-level emperor level for an incense stick of time. There was a certain danger in it. Fortunately, there was a peak emperor with them, which could help them share some of the pressure.
Seeing that Yang Qi and the others were silent, the peak emperor could not help but speak, "If everyone has no problem, then spread out. Our defense line covers an area of more than 100,000 feet."
Yang Qi and the other seven looked at each other, nodded, and then left in one direction.
Looking at Yang Qi and the others who were leaving, the peak emperor stopped the high-level emperor on his side and said, "Wait a minute before you go over."
"Uncle San, they..." the high-level emperor said in a deep voice.
"It's okay. They know what's important." The peak emperor smiled calmly and continued, "We are acting so mysteriously, they will definitely have some reservations. It's okay to let them communicate for a while."
The high-ranking emperor nodded upon hearing this. As a participant in this operation, he naturally knew why his family did everything. For that thing, he had to be careful, otherwise if the news leaked out, it would be troublesome.
Originally, with the strength of their family, they could have gathered dozens of high-level emperors, but if the family went out in full force, it would definitely be noticed by other forces. It was precisely because of this that the family recruited independent emperors like Yang Qi, and paid a considerable price for this.
A high-level emperor looked at the location of the peak emperor, raised his eyebrows, and said in a deep voice, "They didn't follow us. It seems that they are not worried about what we are discussing at all?"
"Their strength is indeed much stronger than ours." A man dressed in animal skins said with a wry smile.
The middle-aged man's group had ten people in total, while they only had seven people. The other side also had three peak emperors, who were obviously practitioners from the same faction, while they were all independent practitioners. Whether in terms of overall strength, number of people, or cohesion and tacit cooperation, they were far inferior to the middle-aged man and his group. It was not surprising that the other side did not take them seriously.
"That being said, we still have to be on guard against them. How about we temporarily unite together? If they attack us, we can also take care of them." The high-level emperor who spoke first looked at Yang Qi and others and spoke slowly.
"That's fine with me."
The man in animal skins shrugged.
"I have no objection." As the man in animal skins finished speaking, another cultivator agreed.
Feeling the gaze of the high-level emperor who spoke first, Yang Qi said calmly, "I have no objection either."
With his strength, he didn't have to worry about the middle-aged man and his group doing anything bad to him, but unless it was absolutely necessary, he didn't want to reveal all his methods to avoid arousing other people's suspicion.
"I have seen some of them before."
At this moment, a sudden voice was heard, and the speaker was a burly middle-aged man.
Um
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes immediately turned to the person who spoke. In fact, everyone present was very curious about the identity and purpose of the middle-aged man and his group, but the situation was stronger than the people, and even if they wanted to know, they had no way of knowing.
What was unexpected was that among the seven of them, someone had actually seen the cultivator in the middle-aged man's group.
The burly man felt everyone's gaze and slowly said, "I have been to Yongzhou City and met a high-level emperor among them there."
Yongzhou City
Yang Qi was slightly startled. The Liu family was in Yongzhou City, and was one of the top cultivation families in Yongzhou City. The mysterious middle-aged man and his group were also from Yongzhou City, which was an unexpected coincidence.
"Yongzhou City, the city we are in should not be close to Yongzhou City, right?" a man said in a deep voice.
Yongzhou City is one of the most powerful cities under the Temple of the God of War in the territory of the human race on the God of War Continent. With a strong emperor in charge, it is easy to recruit some high-level emperors in Yongzhou City. The middle-aged man and his group did not choose to recruit high-level emperors in Yongzhou City, but went to some not-so-strong cities to recruit high-level emperors, obviously to cover up their tracks.
Yang Qi looked at the person who had spoken and asked in a deep voice, "What was the origin of the cultivator you met?"
"I don't know his specific name, but I know he is from the Zhao family." said the cultivator.
Zhao family!
Everyone's faces changed slightly. The Zhao family of Yongzhou City was one of the top families in Yongzhou City. There were several top emperors within the family.
"If it is the Zhao family, then the number of peak emperors is not too bad." The man who spoke first nodded, then his eyes fixed, and he said in a deep voice, "But the one that can make a family like the Zhao family so cautious and even willing to spend a huge price to obtain it is definitely not the Blood Pattern Demon Wolf King. At their level, only the opportunity to step into the emperor realm will have a huge appeal to them." (To be continued)
