"You don't need to worry about this. It'll most likely work."
Xu Yi said.
Originally, he had no qualms whatsoever about killing the Heir of the Yun Family. But seeing Young Master Xu in this state, he couldn't help feeling strange.
Young Master Xu said, "No 'most likely.' It has to work!"
Xu Yi was at a loss for how to respond when he sensed something amiss. Someone had reached a point ten li away and was rushing toward them like a gale. Their target was this very place.
"Bad news. Someone's coming after us."
Xu Yi sent the message, his vigilance instantly stretched to its limits.
He could hardly believe it. He had used two Swift Wind Talismans in succession and, in the blink of an eye, raced six hundred li away.
He had also activated the Hidden Spirit Pearl to conceal his tracks. Its wondrous power was such that even his fourth-rank divine sense could not detect it.
And yet now, not only were his pursuers closing in rapidly, they had pinpointed his location. How could that be?
As soon as Xu Yi finished transmitting, Young Master Xu swung his golden twin daggers at him and sent a message: "Catch them off guard."
Xu Yi understood at once. He swung his hand and struck Young Master Xu squarely on the shoulder with his palm.
Young Master Xu spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying. Just then, seven True Spirit Circle Great Perfection experts led by the man in the crane cloak arrived.
At the sight of this scene, all seven cloaked men were taken aback.
They had not come after him to protect Young Master Xu. They had come to kill him.
This had also been part of the Heir of the Yun Family's plan.
