He told his friends to go south because the group of people in the south had a relatively weaker aura, and did not have a fierce practitioner half a step into the Spirit Dao Realm, either, like senior brother Yi, who held the fortress.
Heading south may be their only chance of life.
As for what was waiting for them in the south – whether they might break through to other forbidden areas – Jiang Chen was unable to notice him at the moment.
Fortunately the people in his party were well trained. No one hesitated after hearing his words, and they all headed south.
Jiang Chen operated his Ear of the Zephyr to the maximum, listening in all directions. Information from all aspects continued to gather in his mind.
In total there were five groups of people, including senior brother Yi's group.
There are people coming from the east and west. There were also people who came from the northeast and northwest.
The last group came from the south, and would meet with Gouyu and the others very quickly.
Of the five groups, the group in the south was the weakest. The strongest among them, was most on par with Gouyu, and not someone to fear.
Jiang Chen only hoped that Gouyu and the others could break through the barricade to the south. As long as they were able to break through the resistance, it signified that they had been freed from the siege, and managed to escape the territory of the Palace.
Of course, of these five groups, senior brother Yi from the east basically had no fighting power left.
The Goldwing Swordbird moved as Jiang Chen suddenly stopped. The position he chose was the one that, after various calculations, was the most centralized.
If anyone wants to pass through this area, they must pass through it first because they occupy this position.
As long as he tied them up for a bit and let Gouyu and the others break through, at the short-range speed of the Golden Winged Sword Bird, it would be extremely difficult for many of these people to chase after him.
However, Jiang Chen was somewhat regretting things at the moment. If he knew the circumstances would be like this, he would have Ye Rong send people to meet him at the border.
He rejected Ye Rong's suggestion back then because he wanted to gain an understanding of the local customs and practices of the Skylaurel Kingdom through his own observations.
Moreover, he felt that if they did not look for trouble, nothing bad would happen to them.
Who would have thought the atmosphere of martial dao in the Skylaurel Kingdom would be fiercer than the Eastern Kingdom. They kill and loot, or stop others on the road to commit highway robbery, easily.
“If I knew this was the case, I probably wouldn't be humble; I should have brought a thousand Goldwing Swordbirds with me, and instantly destroyed this group of thieves!” Jiang Chen was extremely depressed.
However, he also knew that this was just a random thought. Their presence would become too great if he brought the thousand Golden Wing Sword Birds with him.
They might attract the attention of a group that was even stronger than this group.
Several groups of people managed to reach the location within a short period of time. They were all a bit confused seeing only Jiang Chen hovering under the sky dome. One man, one horse.
What the hell is going on? This kid didn't run or run away? He had taken a position alone facing their group of soldiers? Is this kid planning to fight all four of their crews with just his strength?
At that moment, senior brother Yi had also changed to another horse. He stared at Jiang Chen viciously, a strong sense of killing intent permeating into his gaze.
However, he knew that with just his personal strength alone, he would not be able to kill the young man in front of him who possessed a quadruple spirit weapon.
“Yi Qiansui, where did this child come from? Do you already understand thoroughly about his background?” A young man with triangle-shaped eyes from a group of others laughed with a cold question.
“Huh. Why don't you ask her yourself if you want to know about her?” Yi Qiansui was furious. He had yet to gain any benefits from Jiang Chen, and this made him feel like he had lost a lot of face.
“Ck ck's. You are still half a step into the Spirit Dao Realm. To think that you are in such a bad state, is truly an insult to us who are also half a step into the Dao Spirit Realm!” The triangle-eyed youth scoffed.
“Come, take a chance if you're that great!” Yi Qiansui laughed coldly.
The leaders of these four groups were all practitioners who were half a step towards the Spirit Dao Realm, and thus none of them were stronger than the others. Yi Qiansui had bad luck with Jiang Chen, so he didn't mind these people trying it out as well.
Maybe these people will be caught off guard and end up worse off than him!
“To try just because you told me, don't think I'm useless trash like you!” The triangular-eyed youth urged his horse and carried himself forward brazenly.
The sinister triangular eyes measured Jiang Chen like a poisonous snake.
“Son, I really admire your guts. However, don't try to stand out before us spirit dao practitioners, it's completely useless. True Qi flow covering your body – You are on a completely different level than our spirit qi.”
“The only waste of space that only knows how to flap lips?” Jiang Chen laughed coldly.
"Yes! Son, you're a little aloof, aren't you? Could it be that you really think that, as a true qi practitioner, ten thousand people will not be able to buy while you keep his permission?” The triangular-eyed youth mocked Jiang Chen as if he was playing around with prey.
However, his movements were not intentionally wasting time in empty chatter. He wanted to beat around the bush and test Jiang Chen's reaction.
The triangular-eyed youth had retracted his disgust after their verbal conversation, and he secretly felt a little impressed. Yi Qiansui had bad luck.
This child had no emotions at all when faced with four half-step practitioners towards the Spirit Dao Realm practitioners.
Logically speaking, true qi practitioners would instinctively feel a little panicked when they encountered people from the Spirit Dao Realm. They will feel scared and may, even subconsciously, want to escape.
But the triangular-eyed youth could not find any clues about this at all in Jiang Chen.
“This child must have trained mentally, there is no way he can be that calm.” A thought flashed across the triangular-eyed young man's mind as a sword appeared in his hand.
“Everything, I'll play with him for a while. But I'll say this first, if I catch him, all his gear will be mine!” The tone of voice of the triangular-eyed youth was somewhat domineering.
"In your dreams!" The other three practitioners were half a step into the Spirit Dao Realm protesting at the same time.
The triangular-eyed youth was furious. “I led the charge. Do you want to take advantage of my efforts?”
Jiang Chen was personally happy to see internal conflicts arise in others. The more time these people spent, the better it was for him.
As long as Gouyu and the others broke through that defensive line, he would immediately clear himself and leave, leaving this group of idiots to play amongst themselves.
Jiang Chen silently observed them. Ten or twenty other practitioners were here to complete the numbers. Jiang Chen basically ignored those who were within the realm of true qi.
These people would not pose a threat to Jiang Chen, either in terms of attack, or defense.
The only thing was that four half-step practitioners to the Spirit Dao Realm would be of extreme difficulty. If there were two of them cooperating sincerely, then it would be quite a big problem for Jiang Chen.
If the three of them cooperated, then Jiang Chen would have nowhere to escape.
If the four of them cooperated, without any inconvenience between them, then Jiang Chen would definitely die.
However, these were built on the basis of being surrounded by them. In fact, Jiang Chen was still on guard until now. He would immediately retreat if they tried to encircle him.
And, the retreat direction should avoid Gouyu and the others.
It was obvious that these four practitioners who were half a step towards the Spirit Dao Realm all had their own motives. This was the only advantage Jiang Chen had.
There was the veiled youth Yi Qiansui, the triangular-eyed youth, the fat youth, and lastly, whose appearance looked like a — woman made it difficult to distinguish their gender.
This person did not speak at all, but still gave Jiang Chen the feeling that they were the most terrifying.
It is said that barking dogs rarely bite.
This gender-difficult person is the most astute and calm person among them all.
“How about this, the four of us will combine our efforts and defeat this child first. After that, we will divide the equipment, how?” The triangular-eyed young man proposed.
“Alright, I just want the bow. You guys can get the rest.” Yi Qiansui said.
“Heh heh, I want the bow too. Yi Qiansui, ask for another.” The fatty narrowed his eyes and laughed cunningly.
“The first one comes, the first one is served, I am here first, so of course I choose first.” Yi Qiansui was furious.
“You're here first, fine, but you'll die if we don't get here. What right do you have to argue with us?” The triangular-eyed youth scoffed once again.
Yi Qiansui was extremely embarrassed. This is the truth.
No matter how shy he was, he was unwilling to give up for the sake of profit. “Whatever you say is useless. I just want that bow. This kid is weird, he must have a lot of valuables. The blade is also very strange. I suspect it was a spirit weapon. My wind and cloud chains completely cracked as she slashed at him.”
"What's? Yi Qiansui, are you really talking?” The fat man was surprised. He knew that Yi Qiansui's wind and cloud chains were spirit quasi weapons.
With Yi Qiansui cultivation half a step into the Spirit Dao Realm, and he manipulated the quasi spirit weapon to fight a true qi practitioner to think that his weapon had been cut by his opponent!
What the hell does this mean? This meant that a true practitioner's sword was truly stronger than a spirit quasi weapon. It was also a hundred percent definitely a spirit weapon, and most likely it was a high-leveled weapon.
“Very sure. If my words are wrong, can I be struck by lightning and split into two.” Yi Qiansui swore.
“Alright then, I'll take a step back. I want that sword.” The fat one pouted. “Then it is settled, no one can fight with me.”
The triangular eyes laughed. “You two, one wants the bow, and the other wants the blade. Do you think senior brother Liu and I are dead?”
Senior brother Liu is a gender unclear youth who hasn't spoken up until now.
The young man's face was quite pale, and his eyebrows slightly curved up when he heard the triangular eyes referring to him, as he showed a strange smile.
He suddenly took a few steps forward, and shifted his gaze to the other three.
“I'll say one thing.” Senior brother Liu looks like a woman, and even his voice is sweet and childish, making the listeners feel uncomfortable.
The other three people looked at senior brother Liu with fake smiles.
“Three of you can come back now.” Senior brother Liu's tone was timid, and no emotion appeared in his expression, as if he was uttering a series of very ordinary words.
“What do you mean 'Back'?” Triangle eyes begin.
“Senior sister Liu, are you still dreaming?” The fat one was joking.
"Stop joking! Things might change if we keep putting it off. Let's get this kid first. We will have plenty of time to discuss how to split the goods after.” Yi Qiansui was determined to reach the target first, then discussed how to split it.
Senior brother Liu's eyelids slightly raised, “I said, all of you can go back – now. Directly. Get lost! I want all these kid gear!”
"You're crazy."
“You surnamed Liu, you have gone mad!”
“Heh heh, who do you think you are? There is no place for you to act like you are great here!”
The other three immediately formed a battlefield and began to sneer at this senior brother Liu. Everyone was half a step into the Spirit Dao Realm, how could they let this senior brother Liu exert his burden in front of them?
Senior brother Liu chuckled and said nothing. He raised his finger and tapped it slightly down, tapping it consecutively at an incomparable speed, towards the three.
