With Emperor Wu Shi's words, everyone became extremely excited about looking for opportunities in this space, and immediately everyone continued to move deeper into the space.
After moving forward for a certain distance, the three Martial Emperors, who were at the second level of their peak, stopped.
"We have discovered five members of the Yan Gu clan who are at the second level of the Martial Emperor peak, and more than twenty more who are at the peak level of the Martial Emperor." Emperor Jiuyan said with a serious expression.
hiss~
Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but gasp. Although they expected that the Yan Gu tribe would strengthen their precautions and arrange more tribesmen to guard the Yan Xue Fruit, even so, they didn't expect that the tribesmen sent by the Yan Gu tribe would be so numerous and so strong.
The overall strength of the Flame Bone Clan members who were guarding the Flame Blood Fruit was at least three or four times stronger than the Flame Bone Clan members they had encountered before! Even if the three teams gathered together to face the Flame Bone Clan members in front of them, they would not dare to say that they had much chance of winning.
And this is only what they perceive from the members of the Yan Gu tribe who are in the open. There is no guarantee that the Yan Gu tribe will not arrange other members of the tribe to provide support nearby at any time to surround and kill the practitioners!
"It seems that our previous speculation has come true. The defenses of the Yan Gu tribe have been strengthened a lot. It is no longer suitable for them to continue to seek the Yan Xue Fruit." Emperor Wu Shi sighed slightly.
In this case, the risks and benefits of continuing to obtain the Flame Blood Fruit are no longer proportional. Even Emperor Wu Shi is not willing to take this risk.
The people on the side nodded when they heard this. It was obviously not appropriate to try to get the Flame Blood Fruit at this time.
"Get away from them!" Emperor Wu Shi looked at Emperor Jiu Yan and Ling Yan and said.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
Immediately, everyone slightly adjusted their direction to avoid the Yan Gu tribe members in front of them, and that group of Yan Gu tribe members had no intention of chasing Yang Qi and others.
After noticing this, Yang Qi and the others also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the strength and means of this group of Yan Gu tribe members were not weak. If the other party chased them, even they would be in trouble. However, it seems that the other party should be guarding the Yan Xue fruit, so they will not easily chase the passing practitioners. But if a practitioner wants to seize the Yan Xue fruit, that will be another result.
On the rest of the journey, Yang Qi and his companions encountered members of the Yan Gu tribe twice more, but the overall strength of the members of the Yan Gu tribe they encountered became stronger and stronger. One group of them even tried to hunt down Yang Qi and his companions.
Fortunately, Yang Qi and his companions had no intention of continuing to seek the Flame Blood Fruit and chose to retreat directly. After chasing them for a while, the Yan Bone Clan members could not catch up with Yang Qi and his companions and had no choice but to give up.
In a slightly strange forest, the two leaders, Emperor Jiuyan and Emperor Wushi, suddenly stopped.
When they noticed that the two men stopped, Yang Qi and others immediately looked at Emperor Jiuyan and Emperor Wushi.
Feeling everyone's gaze, Emperor Wu Shi did not hide anything and spoke directly, "In the recent journey, we have not found any traces of the Flame Bone Clan. Compared with the area where the Flame Bone Clan lives, the vitality nearby has also increased significantly. It seems that we should have walked out of the area where the Flame Bone Clan lives."
When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned at first, and then nodded. It was true that they had not encountered members of the Yan Gu tribe for some time. Coupled with the changes in vitality nearby, it was indeed possible to infer that they might have crossed the area where the Yan Gu tribe lived.
"Although we have left the area where the Yan Gu tribe lives, the vitality nearby is so strong that there may be other creatures. We must not be careless." Emperor Wu Shi paused for a moment and continued, "Let's rest for a while before continuing on our journey."
Everyone nodded when they heard this. Although they didn't consume much energy along the way, they consumed a lot of energy. Especially after being hunted by the Flame Bone Tribe, everyone became extremely careful on the road afterwards, and even expanded the scope of their investigation to prevent being hunted by the Flame Bone Tribe again.
After a short rest, Yang Qi recovered, but when he opened his eyes, his brows slightly frowned, and then he looked at Ling Yan. But when Yang Qi looked at Ling Yan, Ling Yan quickly withdrew his gaze, as if nothing had happened.
Realizing this, Yang Qi raised his eyebrows, took a deep breath, looked at Ling Yan and said, "Fellow Daoist Ling Yan, you have been secretly watching me all the way, but is there anything wrong?"
When they were on the road before, Yang Qi noticed that there was always a pair of eyes that were secretly watching him, and the owner of this gaze was Ling Yan. However, they were still in a cooperative relationship, so Yang Qi had not pointed it out until now. But now Ling Yan was secretly observing him again, and Yang Qi felt that it was necessary to have a good talk with Ling Yan.
After these words came out, except for Ling Yan's companions, the three people of Yaoyue Emperor, including the four people of Wushi Emperor, did not seem to be surprised. In fact, Wushi Emperor and others had already noticed this, and they also knew that Yang Qi would definitely be able to notice this, but Yang Qi, as the person involved, did not mention this matter, and it was not easy for them, outsiders, to mention it, so they did not point it out.
Now that Yang Qi took the initiative to point this out, Wu Shi Great Emperor and others were secretly on guard. They also wanted to know why Ling Yan was so concerned about Yang Qi. If Ling Yan really had any ideas that were detrimental to Yang Qi, they would not mind taking the initiative and eliminating Ling Yan, the unstable factor.
Hearing Yang Qi's words, Ling Yan knew that he had been secretly observing Yang Qi and had already been discovered by the other party. It was likely that not only Yang Qi, but also Emperor Jiuyan and others had already noticed it.
Ling Yan was very clear that if he didn't give a reasonable explanation, his secret observation of Yang Qi would probably not end well. After all, with Ling Yan's strength and means, he could still threaten Yang Qi.
A cultivator who has the power to threaten Yang Qi and may have adverse thoughts towards Yang Qi, how could Yang Qi's companions, the three Emperor Jiuyan, and even Yang Qi's master, the Emperor Wu Shi and his group, allow this unstable factor to remain
Thinking of this, Ling Yan took a deep breath, looked at Yang Qi and said, "The reason why I have been secretly observing Daoist Xu Xing is because of Daoist Xu Xing's special bloodline?"
Special bloodline
Hearing Ling Yan's words, Yang Qi and Wu Shi Great Emperor were both slightly startled. The special bloodline of the Earth's lineage was not only possessed by Yang Qi, but also by Wu Shi Great Emperor. However, neither of them expected that the reason why Ling Yan had been secretly observing Yang Qi was because of his special bloodline.
