At this moment, Yang Qi and the other two did not know that there were already practitioners waiting for them outside the town. After Li Xu had almost recovered, the three of them left the town and continued to head towards Jiangling City.
However, before leaving the small town too far, the leader Li Yu frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "It seems that someone is following us."
Um
After these words came out, Yang Qi and Li Xu's faces changed slightly. The practitioners in this world did not have teleportation arrays, nor could they fly, so they could only travel by walking on the ground. Therefore, although Yang Qi and his companions were heading all the way from Dongyue City to Jiangling City, there were many practitioners along the way. Yang Qi and his companions often met other practitioners, but it was the first time they were followed by someone.
After all, Li Yu is at the second level of the peak of the Martial Emperor, so he can still judge whether the other party is following them.
Although Yang Qi's soul was far superior to that of practitioners at the same level, and his perception ability was not weaker than that of a peak Martial Emperor, he was not good enough in front of a second-level peak Martial Emperor like Li Yu. At least he did not notice anything along the way.
Yang Qi's face changed slightly, and he quickly asked, "Brother Li Yu, are you sure?"
If there really was someone following them, then the other party must be coming for him. Although Yang Qi's strength was not weak, he would not be able to gain any advantage against the peak Martial Emperor cultivator in this world, even if he used the Star Orb.
The fact that the other party was able to track them all the way from Dongyue City to here shows that they have a certain understanding of the number and strength of their team. Even a cultivator at the second level of the peak of the Martial Emperor like Li Yu could not intimidate the other party. The other party's strength is definitely not weaker than Li Yu in front of him!
“That’s for sure!”
Li Yu nodded slightly, and then continued, "The ancestors left behind a lot of inheritance. In addition to the most precious inheritance of the Five Elements Fusion, there are some other inheritances, but they are not as precious as the inheritance of the Five Elements Fusion. Among them is the Secret Method of Perception."
Although Li Yu did not say it explicitly, the meaning of his words was very clear, that is, Li Yu's perception ability was probably stronger than that of the average second-level Martial Emperor peak cultivator, so he could sense that there was a cultivator following them.
"Can you determine the opponent's strength?" Li Xu on the side asked quickly.
“Can’t be sure!”
Li Yu shook his head slightly and continued, "The other party's concealment method is also not bad. Because the distance is too far, I can't be sure of his strength, but what is certain is that the strength of the person coming is not inferior to mine."
Although he could not accurately sense the opponent's strength, he could sense the opponent's presence. Li Yu was able to make some simple judgments, that is, the opponent's strength was not inferior to his.
Hearing Li Yu's words, Yang Qi and Li Xu's faces suddenly turned ugly. For a cultivator at the second level of the peak of Martial Emperor, even with the residual power of a fight, if the two were too close, they would be in great threat.
Yang Qi looked at Li Yu standing aside and asked, "Brother Li Yu, what can you do to deal with this situation?"
Yang Qi is not able to resist a strong man of this level. Since the Li family has chosen to recruit Yang Qi, there must be some arrangements. Otherwise, if Yang Qi is robbed and killed halfway, who will dare to join the Li family in the future
Who would dare to join a cultivation force that can't even protect the practitioners who join them
"The family has already arranged for an elder who is at the third level of the peak of the Martial Emperor to come and meet us." Li Yu paused for a moment and continued, "But according to the previous message, it may take the elder half a day to meet up with us."
Hearing this, Yang Qi sighed slightly and said, "It's obvious that the other party should know about your Li family's arrangements, so they chose this time and place to prepare for the attack."
It was obviously not a coincidence that the other party was discovered by Li Yu at this time. The other party must be preparing to attack them, otherwise they would not have been able to fail to detect the other party all the way from Dongyue City. There was only one possibility for this situation, that is, the other party had been following them from a distance on the way before, and only approached them now and was sensed by Li Yu.
Li Yu nodded upon hearing this. He certainly understood this truth. The Li family had very few cultivators at the third level of the peak of the Martial Emperor. Even if they secretly sent one out, if there were cultivators who carefully observed, they would still be able to discover him. After all, the Li family's lair was not in some deep mountains or old forests, but in Jiangling City. There were hundreds of millions of cultivators in the entire Jiangling City. It was not difficult for someone to secretly observe the movements of the Li family.
"What should we do now?" Li Xu on the side asked solemnly.
Yang Qi thought for a moment, then said, "While the other party has no intention of taking action, let's pretend we don't know and speed up a little to see if we can create some distance between us and then avoid him."
Yang Qi was not sure that he could save his life from the other party, so this was the only solution he could think of.
"This is all we can do for now. We have to delay time as much as possible. I have already sent a message to the elders in the clan. They will try their best to come. I hope they will still make it in time." Li Yu sighed slightly.
It would take the elder from the Li family about half a day to reach where they were. Even if he sped up, it would probably take several hours.
A few hours of battle, even a battle at the third level of the peak Martial Emperor, would be enough to decide life and death, so it was unrealistic to pin one's hopes on the elders of the Li family.
Seeing the silent Yang Qi, Li Yu also knew that Yang Qi was obviously dissatisfied with this matter. After all, he chose to accept the recruitment of the Li family, but the Li family did not even seem to have the ability to protect his safety.
"If we can't hold on to our elders, we still have a second plan." Li Yu said this and couldn't help but glance at Li Xu who was not far away.
Um
Feeling Li Yu's gaze, Yang Qi was slightly startled, and then seemed to think of something, his face suddenly changed, "Do you want to..."
"For the family!" Li Xu said calmly.
The rewards for individual practitioners in the God's Chosen Battle are based on their individual rankings, while the rewards for the cultivation forces behind the practitioners are based on the best performing practitioners in the cultivation forces. In other words, if a cultivation force has two practitioners, one is the champion and the other is the fifth, then the reward for the cultivation force is the reward for the first place in the cultivation force, not the reward for the first place plus the fifth place.
This type of reward method can prevent a single practice force from monopolizing a large amount of resources, and it can also prevent some practice forces that are not particularly strong from not getting any resources at all.
