Although they felt that things were a little unusual, since they had already come here, Yang Qi and the other three still did not intend to give up. It was just that because of these unusual things, they became more cautious.
The man in fancy clothes looked at Yang Qi and the other three, and then said, "Fellow Daoists, we will take our leave first."
Goodbye
Hearing the words of the man in fancy clothes, Yang Qi and the other three were slightly startled. They were heading in the same direction, that is, upstream, hoping to find a way to cross the blood river.
In this space, it is impossible to use time and space means, which means that practitioners cannot leave a place quickly, and the strength of everyone is not much different, which means that their speed will not differ too much.
In this case, if we search in the same direction, even if we separate, I'm afraid we won't go too far away, so it doesn't really matter whether we separate or not.
But now, the man in fancy clothes told Yang Qi and the other three that he was leaving. What was the point of such a farewell
Looking at the stunned Yang Qi and his three companions, the man in fancy clothes immediately explained, "We have explored the upstream direction for quite a distance, but have not made any progress, so we plan to turn back and explore the downstream direction."
So that's it! After hearing what the man in fancy clothes said, Yang Qi and the other three immediately understood why the man in fancy clothes said goodbye, because he was planning to turn back and investigate downstream. Then everyone would go in the opposite direction, so it was not difficult to understand why the man in fancy clothes said goodbye.
But... Yang Qi and the other three looked at each other secretly. With their cunningness, they knew that the man in fancy clothes and his group were intentionally trying to avoid them.
Although the man in Chinese clothes and others have explored some distance upstream and found nothing, it is clear that the upstream direction has not reached the end yet, so there is still a need to continue exploring.
In this situation, there was really no need to turn back, but the man in fancy clothes and others chose to turn back, and even said such words in front of Yang Qi and the other three, clearly wanting to use this opportunity to part ways with Yang Qi and the other three.
Although they didn't know why the man in fancy clothes did this, Yang Qi and the other three would not force them. As practitioners at the peak of the Martial Emperor level, they had their own pride and understood that a forced melon would not be sweet.
Emperor Jiuyan looked at the group of men in fancy clothes and said with a smile, "In that case, fellow Taoists, please take care of yourselves."
The man in fancy clothes and others nodded slightly, thanked him, and then went in the direction where Yang Qi and others came from, and soon disappeared into the depths of the dark red fog.
Emperor Tianyu looked at the direction where the man in fancy clothes and others left, and said with a cold smile, "What do you mean there are no clues upstream? They want to turn back and investigate. It's obvious that they want to avoid us."
"Don't pay attention to it. They have their own ideas and we have our own plans."
Yang Qi didn't care.
The Yaoyue Emperor beside him nodded, and then said, "Xu Xing is right. We don't need to let other practitioners influence our own decisions."
Immediately, Yang Qi and the other three did not think about this matter anymore, but continued to investigate upstream according to the previous plan.
At the same time, the group of people in fancy clothes were heading back in the direction they had come from. A Martial Emperor Peak cultivator looked at the fancy clothes man and said, "Why should we turn back? Isn't it safer to follow them and explore the upstream direction?"
Although the practitioners in their team are all at the peak level of Martial Emperor, they are only at the first level of peak Martial Emperor. The strength of the team is not as good as that of Yang Qi and his four companions.
When they encountered those strange creatures before, their lives were almost in danger. If they could team up with Yang Qi and the other four, at least they wouldn't have to worry about their own safety when they encounter strange creatures again.
"Those four practitioners, whether in terms of identity or strength, are not comparable to us. If we follow them and encounter an opportunity, I'm afraid we will get nothing."
The man in fancy clothes said calmly.
These words not only failed to dispel the practitioner's doubts, but made him even more confused.
Although the words of the man in fancy clothes seem to make sense, they do not stand up to scrutiny at all. The reason is very simple. They have been in this space for quite some time and have never encountered any opportunities.
There was no sign of any opportunity near the blood river. As for the dark red crystal obtained by killing the strange creature, they simply did not have the ability to obtain it. Whether Yang Qi and the other four were there or not, they would not be able to get this opportunity.
Once they cross the blood river, they will definitely not continue to travel with Yang Qi and his three companions. In this case, traveling together at this time or not will not affect their chances of seizing the opportunity at all, so the words of the man in fancy clothes are obviously just an excuse.
"This explanation is a bit too fake."
The cultivator looked at the man in fancy clothes and said.
Upon hearing this, the man in fancy clothes showed a hint of helplessness on his face, and then he said, "There's something wrong with those four practitioners."
"Something's wrong?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of several Martial Emperor peak practitioners nearby changed slightly. Although they had not asked too many questions before, they were actually a little confused in their hearts.
It was just because they trusted the man in Chinese clothes that they did not doubt his intentions. They knew that at least the man in Chinese clothes would not harm them.
But now, the man in fancy clothes said that there was something wrong with Yang Qi and the other three, which was really beyond their expectations.
"There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with them?"
A tall cultivator at the peak of Martial Emperor level frowned.
"There's something wrong with them."
The man in fancy clothes paused for a moment, then continued, "Their strengths and methods are quite strange, especially the practitioner in the late Nine-Star Martial Emperor stage. Such a practitioner would not be completely unknown, but have you heard of that monster?"
This… Hearing the words of the man in fancy clothes, several Martial Emperor peak practitioners at the side immediately fell silent. They had indeed never heard of the methods of Yang Qi, Emperor Yaoyue and the other two, and they were indeed a bit weird.
"Just based on this point alone, it would be a bit too arbitrary to say that there is something wrong with them, right?"
The practitioner who spoke first frowned.
The man in fancy clothes heard this and said solemnly, "It's better to be cautious. Our strength and means are limited. There is no need to take unnecessary risks."
After these words were spoken, several peak Martial Emperor practitioners nearby were a little disapproving, but since they had already chosen to believe the man in fancy clothes and had already taken action, they did not continue to dwell on the matter and just thought that the man in fancy clothes was being too cautious.
"Outsider?"
The man in fancy clothes took a look at the direction of Yang Qi and others, and a thought flashed through his mind. The reason why he avoided Yang Qi and the other four was because he suspected that Yang Qi and the other four were not practitioners from this world, so he chose to avoid them.
