After the gathering dispersed, Ye Tian had barely left the Myriad Treasures Convention venue when he discovered that someone was secretly following him again.
And this time, there were quite a few people following him.
"Fellow Daoist Gongsun, who are those people?" Amid the crowd returning to Qinghe City, Ye Tian pointed at a cultivator in the distance wearing a black Taoist robe covered in white dragon patterns.
That person appeared to be flying aimlessly, but Ye Tian could tell that he was silently watching him.
Moreover, there were quite a few people wearing identical Taoist robes. Some were ahead, some behind, some to the left, some to the right. They vaguely formed an encirclement around him.
"Song Divine Guard. There are said to be only thirty-three of them in total, corresponding to the legendary thirty-three heavens. They are extremely powerful and directly serve the Song Kingdom royal family," Gongsun Chi explained. He thought Ye Tian was merely asking casually and did not think much of it.
Ye Tian nodded and said nothing more.
There were only thirty-three Song Divine Guards in total, yet Ye Tian gave a slight sweep with his senses and discovered that no fewer than ten of them were following him, openly and in secret.
It seemed that, in order to deal with him, the Song Kingdom royal family had dispatched a full third of the Song Divine Guard at once.
But Ye Tian also knew that this was not because the Song Kingdom royal family thought highly of him. What they valued was merely the Ancient Dragon Horn.
Besides the Song Divine Guard, Xia Xuan was also following him. She had not brought along the attendants who had followed her before. Instead, she concealed her aura and trailed far behind Ye Tian alone.
