Supreme Warrior in the City
Chapter 1883 - 1882: Deception
The Tower Lord Ling and Sect Leader Qi are rather shrewd individuals. While they dispatched those top cultivators to hunt down these people separately, they also sent signals to those weaker in strength following behind, instructing them to spread out and search for these individuals in various locations.
Once they found them, they would immediately signal the top cultivators to slaughter those people!
Su Yang arrived under such circumstances and upon learning of this order, he almost burst into laughter. Tower Lord Ling and Sect Leader Qi were completely cooperating with him. He was just considering how to lure Fang Zishu out, and now he didn't have to think of a way!
Quickly chasing, Su Yang soon found Fang Zishu, who was pursuing Zhao Yuanzhou with two top cultivators.
This was deliberately arranged by Su Yang; Fang Zishu was his main target this time, so he specifically assigned Zhao Yuanzhou to divert Fang Zishu.
Fang Zishu and his group had no idea what Su Yang had planned. Seeing that Zhao Yuanzhou's strength was average, the three of them were quite satisfied. With the three of them working together, killing Zhao Yuanzhou was a piece of cake. Killing Zhao Yuanzhou would be credited as an achievement, at least they'd return with some merits instead of empty-handed.
Zhao Yuanzhou was still fleeing at high speed when he suddenly sensed Su Yang's presence. His heart immediately stirred, knowing that Su Yang had arrived.
Without a second thought, Zhao Yuanzhou descended from the sky and quickly entered a forest not far ahead. Once inside, Zhao Yuanzhou's presence vanished in an instant, as if he had never been there.
The faces of Fang Zishu's trio changed; Zhao Yuanzhou's ability to conceal himself was indeed impressive.
"This person intends to run!" one elder said gravely. "With his concealed presence, his speed won't be too fast. Let's immediately block off this forest; we cannot let him escape!"
Another man frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "To block off this forest, the three of us would have to spread out, which is very dangerous..."
"What's so dangerous?" The elder glanced at him with disdain. "That person's strength isn't great. Any one of us three can kill him in a direct fight. Even if we split up, what can he do to us? Moreover, this forest is only so big. If we really find him, we can come together at any time; he won't be able to escape!"
"But, what about the others?" The man still had concerns.
"What others!" the elder said impatiently, "We've come with so many people, and they've already scattered and fled. Right now, they all have our people on their tails. What other people? Also, your cultivation isn't low; how can you be so timid? If we don't get some merits this time, what right do we have to enter the Divine Palace for cultivation?"
Speaking of cultivation in the Divine Palace, the complexion of both the man and Fang Zishu changed. The environment and time within the Divine Palace are very suitable for cultivation, a reward from the Divine Master. Being allowed to cultivate there is indeed a rare opportunity for them.
If they accomplish great feats, they will definitely have the qualifications to enter the Divine Palace for cultivation upon return. Such temptation is indeed significant!
The man thought carefully and realized it made sense. Su Yang's people were all fleeing; there was no time for them to lay a trap. Besides, if Su Yang really wanted to ambush, it should be someone like Tower Lord Ling or Sect Leader Qi, not them.
"Stop wasting time, let's block this area quickly!" said the elder, charging forward first.
Fang Zishu did not hesitate, immediately heading in another direction. The man, having been convinced by the elder, also followed swiftly, blocking three directions to secure the forest and began searching gradually.
Having searched for a while, the three found nothing. Zhao Yuanzhou had long left, and finding him there was an impossible task for them.
However, the three were unaware of this and couldn't imagine Zhao Yuanzhou's concealment and escape abilities were this strong.
After searching a while and finding nothing, they assumed their search area was too small, so they expanded it to include several nearby forests.
Under these circumstances, Su Yang arrived. He appeared breathless, as if something urgent was happening, and immediately spotted Fang Zishu not far away, running over excitedly.
"Mr. Fang..." Su Yang shouted anxiously, "I found an enemy hiding over there..."
Upon hearing this, Fang Zishu immediately looked up, and the other two also looked over. Su Yang now appeared as Zhao He, whom they had seen before, so they directly assumed he was one of their own.
They were unfamiliar with Su Yang and couldn't distinguish his aura. And with Su Yang appearing as Zhao He, a person whose strength they were not familiar with, they naturally couldn't discern the difference in aura between Su Yang and Zhao He.
At this moment, someone suddenly rushed out from the forest not far away; it was Zhao Yuanzhou from before, quickly fleeing into the distance.
"Where do you think you're going!" the elder roared, swiftly chasing after him.
The man hesitated for a moment before also pursuing. The enemy Su Yang mentioned was unknown, but the one fleeing had been chased for a long time, and knowing the opponent's average strength, they couldn't let him escape.
Fang Zishu was also about to give chase when Su Yang quickly ran up, his face filled with excitement as he grabbed Fang Zishu's arm: "Mr. Fang, quickly, hurry up, we can't let this person escape!"
Fang Zishu frowned. Su Yang now as Zhao He, with Zhao He's level of strength, meant nothing to Fang Zishu. Su Yang's familiarity and even daring to stop him made Fang Zishu almost lose his temper.
However, Su Yang's next words dispelled his anger.
"Mr. Fang, the person hiding is a very important one to Su Yang's side, seems... seems to be someone called Ye Wantong. Capturing this person would be a great achievement. Mr. Fang, you mustn't forget your subordinates if you achieve such a feat!"
A gleam flashed in Fang Zishu's eyes. He had heard Ye Wantong's name, knew her relationship with Su Yang, and understood her importance. Capturing her would be more critical than capturing ten or a hundred Zhao Yuanzhous; it would indeed be a monumental achievement!
Moreover, the most crucial point was that Ye Wantong's strength was average, totally not his opponent. If he took action personally, capturing Ye Wantong would be effortless, a merit easy to obtain!
Although internally thrilled, Fang Zishu wasn't foolish, and he said solemnly, "Ye Wantong alone? How can this be possible? Su Yang would never leave her unprotected! Could this be a trap?"
