With the Flying Boat Su Qian had gifted them, their return to Jia Nan Academy was much faster. In just two days, they had covered nearly half the journey.
Xiao Yan sat cross-legged at the bow, feeding Dou Qi into the Flying Boat while using his Soul Power to scan the area within nearly ten li.
"Our target is too conspicuous. We can't shake them off." Liuli stood behind Xiao Yan, her Soul Power, slightly stronger than his, also enveloping the surrounding heavens and earth. She easily discovered the group that had been following behind the Flying Boat from not far away.
Four Dou Zongs and twelve Dou Emperors—quite a lavish lineup for the Black Corner Region.
"The one leading them should be Old Ghost of Earthly Demons, right?" Xiao Yan asked indifferently with his eyes closed.
Liuli nodded slightly and said softly, "Will you handle them, or shall I?"
With the three flying swords Su had given her, dealing with someone who had only just entered the High-tier Dou Zong realm would not be a problem.
"I'll do it. You still can't use Dou Qi, so stop messing around." Xiao Yan opened his eyes and slowly rose to his feet. Smiling, he rubbed the young girl's head and said gently, "The Dou Qi I left in the Flying Boat can still last for an hour. I'll deal with Old Ghost of Earthly Demons and those Dou Zongs. Zi Yan will handle the Dou Emperors, while you stay aboard and protect Xiao Yi Xian."
"Hey... I..." Liuli had just begun to protest when Xiao Yan vanished from where he stood.
Liuli stomped her foot in frustration, then shouted irritably behind her, "Zi Yan! Time to beat people up!"
Zi Yan swallowed the pastry in her mouth and clapped her hands.
