Threat

Three hours later, the Huai River City Auction officially ended.

The Heavenly Evolving Stone was sold to a Golden Core Cultivator. The next two Spirit Items were a Third Tier Metal Attribute Flying Sword and a Third-Tier Lower-Grade defensive Formation Disc.

The two Spirit Items were purchased by a Golden Core Cultivator and a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Yang Tianyou didn't get involved. Although he coveted the Heavenly Evolving Stone and had the financial means, he couldn't make a move.

Fifty thousand Spirit Stones are enough to arouse the greed of Foundation Establishment Great Perfection; any more and even Golden Core Cultivator might become restless.

They were in Ba Commandery, not Dragon Valley County, and the Blood Jade Lotus was purchased out of necessity.

As the two left the auction house, many cultivators stared at them along the way, but no one dared to make a move in Huai River City. The Xiong Household was not someone to be trifled with.

Back in the attic, the two breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment, there was a knock on the door.

Yang Tianyou frowned, stepped forward, and opened the door.

A tall, well-proportioned young man dressed in a light yellow robe came into view; it was Xiang Yun.

When Xiang Yun faced Yang Tianyou up close, his pupils suddenly contracted. He sensed the aura of the Xiang Household bloodline emanating from Yang Tianyou.

"You killed my Xiang Household?"

Xiang Yun's feigned amiable expression instantly changed, and chilling words poured out of his mouth like a cold current from the horizon.

"The Xiang Household? What are you talking about? I don't understand." Yang Tianyou said calmly, without a trace of emotion.

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yun gave him a deep look, then turned and left.

Yang Tianyou's gaze was deep, and his heart was churning with turbulent emotions.

He recognized the voice of the Foundation Establishment Cultivator as the one who had been competing with him for the Blood Jade Lotus.

Crucially, he turned out to be Xiang Household and even realized that he had killed Zhao Tingfeng and his son.

Bang!

After closing the door, Yang Tianyou closed his eyes slightly, quickly clearing the jumbled thoughts in his mind.

First and foremost, there's the Blood Jade Lotus. The young man's initial purpose in coming here was definitely not because he killed Zhao Tingfeng and his son, but for the Blood Jade Lotus. Otherwise, he wouldn't have put on such a friendly face.

As for why he was able to discover that Yang Tianyou had killed Zhao Tingfeng and his son, there is only one explanation: bloodline.

Yang Tianyou had naturally learned about the Xiang Household's information. This Lineage's bloodline was very famous, belonging to a powerful Divine Beast called the Mount Tai Python. It was said that a fully Great Achievement Mount Tai Python could fight against True Dragon without being at a disadvantage.

Of course, the bloodline of the Mount Tai Python in the Xiang Household must be extremely thin, just like that of Flood Dragon compared to True Dragon; otherwise, this Lineage would not have been confined to Ba Commandery.

However, it's not surprising that such a powerful bloodline, even if weak, would possess some special abilities.

However, there is one question: why didn't this Foundation Establishment from the Xiang Household family realize that he had killed Zhao Tingfeng and his son at the auction house?

After a brief moment of thought, Yang Tianyou had a guess in his mind: it was probably a matter of distance.

More than a month has passed since he killed Zhao Tingfeng and his son.

After such a long time, even if there is some kind of blood connection in the Unseen, that connection should have become extremely weak by now, so the Xiang Household wouldn't be able to detect it if the distance wasn't sufficient.

This also explains why the Xiang Household Foundation Establishment suddenly changed his expression; he only noticed it the moment Yang Tianyou opened the door.

But... now that they've found out, what should we do?

Should we continue waiting for the Cloudglow Sect's Flying Boat?

No!

That would be waiting to die. After all, Ba Commandery was the Xiang Household's territory. Once that young man notified the Xiang Lineage members, Yang Tianyou and the others would only have one path left: to wait for death if they remained stationary.

Then we'll have no choice but to leave Huai River City!

Call!!

Yang Tianyou let out a long breath and then opened his eyes.

Brush!!

A sharp, unusual glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"Fifteenth Brother, pack your things, let's go!"

"Good!!"

Without asking why, Yang Tianwang immediately packed up the items in the room, and a few moments later, the two of them pushed open the door and went out.

From the Xiang Yun opened the door until Yang Tianyou and the other person left, less than the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea had passed.

"These two outsiders are coming out, follow them." Several pairs of malicious eyes followed Yang Tianyou and his companion closely.

Yang Tianyou could certainly sense these ill-intentioned gazes, but he didn't care.

In his perception, the highest level these guys were at was only the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, and they were only at the initial stage.

That Xiang Household Foundation Establishment from the Xiang family was the real threat. Although both Foundation Establishment Late Stage, this person brought Yang Tianyou immense pressure.

Not long after, Yang Tianyou and Yang Tianwang left Huai River City. Then they took out their Flying Boat, which transformed into a streak of light and soared into the Yunxiao.

"Chase them! They're trying to escape!"

Immediately, three Foundation Establishment Cultivators who had been following behind also took out a Second-Tier Middle-Grade Flying Boat and gave chase.

Afterwards, Xiang Yun's face turned cold. This time, his killing of Yang Tianyou was absolutely justified. He would not only receive a windfall, but also the Blood Jade Lotus and Contribution Points as a reward from the Lineage.

"Brother Xiang, should we give chase?" Lin Jun asked eagerly.

"Chase them! Anyone who dares to kill a Xiang Household will die." Xiang Yun laughed coldly, then took out a small Flying Shuttle and got on.

This Flying Shuttle is also Second-Tier Middle-Grade, but due to its smaller size, it is about 20% faster than other Flying Boats of the same tier.

Brush!!

The Flying Shuttle started, transforming into a yellow rainbow of light that pierced the sky, soared into the azure heavens, and disappeared.

Brush!!

Above the clouds, Yang Tianyou frantically urged the Flying Boat forward, and at the same time, he took out a Xun Wind Escape Technique Talisman and affixed it to the surface of the Flying Boat.

The flight Formations and Escape Technique Talisman inscribed on the Flying Boat combined to increase its speed dramatically, instantly leaving the three Foundation Establishment Cultivators following behind.

"Damn it, they used Escape Technique Talisman! What do we do? Does anyone have a Second-Tier Middle-Grade Escape Technique Talisman?"

The Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator at the head of the group cursed under his breath, then turned around and asked.

"No!"

"I don't have any either!"

The two Foundation Establishment shook their heads. They were joking; even if they had Escape Technique Talisman, they wouldn't hand them over.

This ambush was planned with a "whatever" attitude; how could such precious Escape Technique Talisman be used for something so uncertain?

"Damn it!" the Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator cursed again.

He did possess a Second-Tier Middle-Grade Escape Technique Talisman, but... he was reluctant to use it.

That thing is meant to save your life; using it for gambling is really inappropriate.

Besides, who knows if the other side has any other cards up their sleeve?

The thought had barely crossed their minds when suddenly, a pale yellow Flying Shuttle sped past them.

The fleeting yet powerful aura emanating from the Flying Shuttle made the Foundation Establishment Cultivators even more hesitant.

"Retreat!" The leader, Foundation Establishment, had a change of expression, but ultimately lacked the courage to continue the pursuit.

They weren't exactly Evil Cultivators; at most, they were Rogue Cultivators who liked to take advantage of others. When they saw that a stronger "wolf" had its eye on its prey, they had no choice but to slink away.
