"Senior Brother Yi Jie!"
Just then, a loud shout suddenly cut through the air, causing everyone present to momentarily relax. Di Yi Jie frowned slightly at the sound, then instantly dispersed his imposing aura and looked at the person approaching from behind.
For the person who uttered this voice was none other than Shen Bai Gou.
"What happened? And why did you use Blood Escape?" As Shen Bai Gou arrived behind Di Yi Jie, panting heavily, Di Yi Jie was shocked.
Di Yi Jie knew clearly that Shen Bai Gou had gone to intercept Song Wu Wen with two disciples at the Early Mortal Realm. The current situation, however, instantly filled Di Yi Jie with a bad premonition.
"Senior Brother Yi Jie, that Song Wu Wen is not as simple as he seems. Those two disciples are dead, and my own brother is also dead," Shen Bai Gou said, his voice clearly laced with a hint of terror.
"What!" Di Yi Jie's face turned ashen.
If Shen Hei Gou had perished, then Qiu Shao Long's plan had naturally failed. If that were truly the case, then Li Xuan's strength would have to be re-evaluated.
But Di Yi Jie could not understand how Li Xuan, with only the strength of the Late True Self Realm, could have defeated Qiu Shao Long, who could enter the Early Manifestation Realm at any time, and Shen Hei Gou, who already possessed the strength of the Middle Mortal Realm.
"Senior Disciple Brother, isn't that Shen Bai Gou, one of the Black and White Dogs beside Di Yi Jie? Strange, who did Shen Bai Gou encounter? He even resorted to using Blood Escape," Chai Jing Yuan whispered to Su Yue Ze upon seeing Shen Bai Gou's arrival.
"Let's watch for now. Fortunately, Shen Bai Gou was forced to use Blood Escape by someone. Otherwise, with Shen Bai Gou and his brother Shen Hei Gou, we would likely have had no chance of winning," Su Yue Ze said, a flicker of surprise in his eyes.
"Are you sure it was Li Xuan alone?" Di Yi Jie subtly glanced at Su Yue Ze and the others before asking in a low voice again.
"That Li Xuan was indeed alone. My brother's spatial ring has fallen into Li Xuan's hands. And now, they are likely not far behind," Shen Bai Gou replied softly.
"Damn it!" Di Yi Jie felt an immense sense of frustration.
If Song Wu Wen and Li Xuan arrived, the forces he brought today would likely be no match for Su Yue Ze's side.
"Go!" Di Yi Jie was not a foolish man. After weighing the gains and losses, he waved his hand and flew towards the mountain peak of the Third Peak. The more than ten people beside him immediately followed.
"Why did Di Yi Jie bring his people and leave?" He Xi Dong and the more than ten people behind him were stunned, their eyes filled with confusion, as Di Yi Jie and his group suddenly departed.
"Could people from other peaks be attacking the Third Peak?" Chai Jing Yuan guessed, looking at Su Yue Ze.
"Perhaps. Otherwise, with Di Yi Jie's personality, how could he have given up targeting us so easily?" Su Yue Ze nodded slightly. At this point, there seemed to be no other reasonable explanation.
Whoosh!
As Su Yue Ze finished speaking, he suddenly looked up into the distance as if sensing something.
"It's the Fourth Brother returning! Hmm? There seems to be someone else. Could it be that the Fifth Brother has also been found?" After a moment, Su Yue Ze said with joy.
Chai Jing Yuan and the others immediately looked in the direction Su Yue Ze was gazing.
A few minutes later, two black dots appeared in their vision. In just a moment, their figures became clearer.
"It really is the Fourth and Fifth Brothers!"
He Xi Dong rejoiced upon recognizing the two.
With Li Xuan found and Song Wu Wen returned, their strength in the ensuing confrontation had significantly increased.
"Senior Disciple Brother, Second Disciple Brother, Third Disciple Brother, are you alright?" As Li Xuan and Song Wu Wen landed, Li Xuan immediately asked. After all, Su Yue Ze and all the disciples from the Seventh Peak who had entered the central region were present, which meant they were not just there to welcome him and Song Wu Wen.
"Senior Disciple Brother, Second Disciple Brother, Third Disciple Brother, did that Di Yi Jie come to trouble you again? Otherwise, why are you all here?" Song Wu Wen also asked Su Yue Ze.
Su Yue Ze smiled and replied, "That Di Yi Jie did indeed bring people to trouble us. But for some reason, Shen Bai Gou suddenly appeared, and then Di Yi Jie left with his men. We are also very confused as to why we are here."
"Di Yi Jie retreated with his men? Hahaha, hahahaha, Fifth Brother, you're killing me!" Song Wu Wen was stunned for a moment after hearing Su Yue Ze's words, then burst into loud laughter.
Li Xuan also smiled slightly, somewhat surprised by Shen Bai Gou's speed.
"Fourth Brother, could there have been a change of events?" Seeing Song Wu Wen laughing heartily, Su Yue Ze and the other two exchanged glances and then asked Song Wu Wen.
Song Wu Wen stopped laughing, glanced at Li Xuan, and then explained, "Senior Disciple Brother, you may not know, but Shen Bai Gou's elder brother, Shen Hei Gou, was sent by Di Yi Jie to target Fifth Brother."
"But Fifth Brother is standing here alive and well. Oh, right, Fifth Brother even got Shen Hei Gou's spatial ring."
Hiss!
Su Yue Ze and the others were all shocked. Does this mean Li Xuan actually killed Shen Hei Gou, who possessed the strength of the Middle Mortal Realm?!
"Heh heh, surprised, aren't you? By the way, before Shen Hei Gou, Di Yi Jie also sent a newly recruited disciple, I think his name was Qiu Shao Long, who was also dealt with by Fifth Brother."
"Even when Shen Bai Gou, with two guys at the Early Mortal Realm, attacked me, Fifth Brother arrived in time. After killing those two, Shen Bai Gou escaped using Blood Escape."
Seeing the astonished expressions on Su Yue Ze and the others, Song Wu Wen could not help but chuckle. He then continued to reveal one shocking piece of news after another.
"Good heavens, Fifth Brother, you're amazing. Hmm? Senior Disciple Brother, if I remember correctly, Fifth Brother only had the strength of the Late True Self Realm before entering the Azure Illusion Realm. Now he's broken through to the Early Mortal Realm!"
Chai Jing Yuan's eyes immediately looked at Li Xuan. What he saw made him even more astonished.
"I knew why Di Yi Jie suddenly decided to leave. So it was because he was worried that if you two arrived, his men wouldn't be enough. Fifth Brother, well done. In just over ten days, you've almost caught up with us," Su Yue Ze said happily after hearing Song Wu Wen's account.
The more than ten disciples of the Seventh Peak behind Su Yue Ze and the other two now looked at Li Xuan with awe. After all, being able to break through to the Early Mortal Realm in just over ten days, and even killing Shen Hei Gou at the Middle Mortal Realm, such strength was enough to awe them.
"Fourth Brother exaggerates too much. If it weren't for luck, it would have been difficult for me to kill Shen Hei Gou. Let's not talk about me. Senior Disciple Brother, what do we do next?" Li Xuan smiled and then asked Su Yue Ze.
"Next?"
Su Yue Ze pondered for a moment, then his eyes revealed a hint of sharpness as he slowly said, "That Di Yi Jie has caused us a lot of trouble. Now that Fifth Brother has joined us, it's time for us, the Seventh Peak, to reclaim what is ours."
