On the other side, at the Jialie Family in Wutan City.
Aoba Dun was discussing the details of the ambush with Jialie Bi.
Suddenly, Aoba Dun asked Jialie Bi a question.
"Jialie Bi, what did you go to the Xiao Family for last night?"
Jialie Bi's heart jolted. There were spies!
Last night, he had taken a back road to the Xiao Family, and when he left, he had also gone out through the rear gate, all to keep things hidden. He had not expected to be discovered anyway.
Though Jialie Bi was somewhat shocked inside, his face betrayed nothing. In that moment of urgency, he immediately came up with an explanation.
Jialie Bi snorted coldly and turned the tables on him. "What do you think I went there for?"
Aoba Dun frowned, not knowing what Jialie Bi meant.
Seeing Aoba Dun's attitude, Jialie Bi knew what was going on. His confidence surged at once, and he sneered.
"You think I'm as stupid as you? Since we're going to ambush that Han Li.
"Of course we have to guard against the Xiao Family's counterattack. I planted an undercover agent in the Xiao Family. When we make our move, he'll stall them for a certain amount of time for us."
Aoba Dun came to a sudden realization and felt that Jialie Bi was right.
Jialie Bi observed Aoba Dun's expression from the corner of his eye and let out a breath of relief inwardly. A trace of contempt flashed through his eyes.
Idiot. You deserve to die.
Thinking this, Jialie Bi felt somewhat uneasy again. He hoped everything would go smoothly.
Their Jialie Family truly could not keep dragging things out. Surrender was the only path left to them, and the Aoba Family was his pledge of loyalty!
In the blink of an eye, a month passed. Su Yun walked along the road to the Xiao Family.
Su Yun's brows were tightly furrowed. He sensed something unusual.
His Soul Power was naturally extremely powerful, and he had also cultivated the Soul Art. His perception had long since surpassed a Da Dou Shi's by who knew how many times.
All along the way, openly and in the shadows, many eyes were fixed on him!
Su Yun sneered and walked into an empty corner. His figure gradually faded away, and his aura vanished as well.
"Phantom Decoy Art," a Mysterious Tier Middle Grade Dou Technique. This was a support-type Dou Technique.
It had two functions.
First, it assimilated one's figure with the surrounding light and shadow, achieving the purpose of invisibility.
Second, it concealed one's own aura.
It was worth mentioning that this second effect could be used to hide one's Dou Qi fluctuations, achieving the goal of disguising one's realm.
All this time, he had used this Dou Technique to hide his Dou Qi cultivation at the level of a One-Star Dou Shi in front of Luo Qianchen.
As for others, like Xiao Zhan and Kuang Tang, they had no idea what realm his cultivation was in at all.
In their perception, Su Yun's aura was as calm as a lake, impossible to see through.
This Dou Technique was not high in grade, but it was extremely practical.
He still remembered the description in the original work. During the Three Year Agreement, Nalan Yanran had relied on nothing more than a treasure to block others from probing her.
Only after she took that thing off did her cultivation as a two-star Da Dou Shi reveal itself before a group of Dou Emperor experts.
His Dou Technique could also achieve this effect, but he could not fight in front of others. Once a fight started, Dou Qi fluctuations could not be concealed at all, and he would be exposed very easily.
It was also by relying on this Dou Technique that he dared to appear in the Xiao Family and prance around in front of Ling Ying.
Though Dou Emperor experts were powerful, when it came to probing, they were not necessarily all that impressive.
This had also been explained in the original work.
What was the most powerful probing method on the Douqi Continent?
It was Soul Power. Though a Dou Emperor expert's soul was stronger than an ordinary Dou Zhe's, they did not possess any particularly powerful probing ability.
Xiao Yan, wearing the Human Skin Mask provided by Ya Fei, could speak face-to-face with Jia Xingtian, a Nine-Star Dou Emperor expert.
It was only because Fa Ma was a Fifth Grade Alchemist that he discovered a slight clue by relying on his powerful Soul Power.
So, it was very normal for him to use this mask and the "Phantom Decoy Art" and not expose anything in front of Ling Ying, right?
After all, in terms of cultivation, Ling Ying was only an Eight-star Dou Emperor. As for Soul Power, although Ling Ying came from the Ancient Clan, he was not a direct disciple of the Ancient Clan. His status was low, and he was not yet qualified to cultivate the Soul Art.
After all, even to the Eight Ancient Clans, something like the Soul Art was extremely precious.
Su Yun concealed his figure, walked out of the corner, and approached those who were spying on him within his perception.
Su Yun used the system's scanning function, seeing all their identities clearly.
They were all people from the Aoba Family and the Jialie Family.
Su Yun raised an eyebrow, and coldness flashed through his heart.
If they couldn't rope him in, they planned to make a move?
Heh. Su Yun sneered and did not alert the enemy.
When Su Yun revealed himself again, he was already in an alley not far from the Xiao Family.
His strength was indeed powerful. It would not be difficult to break out of these people's encirclement, but if he wanted to wipe them all out in one fell swoop, he had no way to do it.
Since they dared to ambush him, they naturally had to pay the price!
Su Yun arrived at the entrance of the Xiao Family and was welcomed into the Xiao Family hall by Xiao Zhan and the three Xiao Family elders, who had been waiting here early.
Before Su Yun could speak, the Great Elder of the Xiao Family spoke first.
"Master Han, this is bad. Our Xiao Family found out that the Aoba Family intends to harm you!"
Su Yun was somewhat surprised. The Xiao Family had actually received the news in advance?
Xiao Zhan was somewhat furious and glared at the Great Elder. This old thing had gotten ahead of him and was trying to claim credit before Master Han.
The Great Elder looked smug and was not afraid of Xiao Zhan either.
He was extremely senior, and like Xiao Zhan, he had the cultivation of a Da Dou Shi, so naturally he was not afraid of him.
His actions this time were also driven by his own thoughts.
His eldest granddaughter, Xiao Yu, had just broken through to the eighth stage of Dou Qi during this period. He wanted to imitate Xiao Zhan's previous approach and request a Qi Gathering Powder for Xiao Yu!
The Great Elder was a man who understood things clearly. He knew very well that Su Yun had refined Qi Gathering Powder for Xiao Yan before entirely because Xiao Yan was Old Master Xiao Lin's grandson.
As for himself, he did not actually have much friendship with Su Yun, so he wanted to seize this opportunity to build a good relationship with Su Yun and make plans for later.
Xiao Yu had only just broken through to the eighth stage of Dou Qi anyway, so there was no need to be too anxious.
"Oh, I didn't expect the Xiao Family to have received the news as well."
Su Yun's expression was surprised, but then his brow furrowed again. This intelligence was unequal. There was still the Jialie Family, wasn't there?
Just as Su Yun was puzzled, Xiao Zhan and the Great Elder, in order to claim credit, took turns telling him all the information they had obtained.
After a while, Su Yun understood. He truly had not expected Jialie Bi to be so aware of the times.
This saved him some effort.
Originally, he had planned to unite the Xiao Family, Mitel Auction House, and the Alchemist Guild to exterminate their clans.
Now that there was only the Aoba Family, the Xiao Family and the Jialie Family would be enough. There was no need to go to so much trouble.
Su Yun nodded. Since the Xiao Family and the Jialie Family were willing, then he would leave this matter to them and give them a chance to perform.
As for the reward, well, it was only a matter of a few medicinal pills. He just so happened to have some Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pills and Purple Heart Breaking Barrier Pills left from before.
Su Yun cupped his hands. "Since that is the case, I'll have to trouble you all."
