Instant Follow-Up on Engage

"Qin Yu, how much longer are we going to follow them?"

After chasing for dozens of miles out of Black Seal City, Zi Yan couldn't help but ask Qin Yu.

They've been following them for so long, why haven't they made a move yet?

"Wait a little longer."

Qin Yu gave a casual reply.

Just a few minutes after Feng San left Black Seal City, Qin Yu sensed more than a dozen unfamiliar auras.

These auras converged from different directions, but their goal was the same.

After all, for Earth Tier Dou Skills to appear in a place like the Black-Corner Region, and to be bought at an auction, it would be a miracle if the buyer could leave safely.

"Qin Yu, if a fight breaks out later, I'm going to lend a hand too!"

No rush.

Qin Yu shook his head.

"Let's see if anyone will make the first move. Everyone's target is Feng San, so there's no need for us to be the first to attack."

"Besides, something as important as Earth Tier Dou Skills, the Blood Sect probably wouldn't have sent Feng San alone; they might have arranged for someone to meet him."

After listening, Zi Yan blinked twice, her expression becoming somewhat blank.

Her "super brain" seemed to be struggling to process the information in Qin Yu's words, but it was clearly working rather slowly.

After all, her mind was completely focused on how to fight later, leaving no room to process this information.

After a moment, she nodded and summarized earnestly:

"You mean, there might be more Blood Sect members ahead?"

"... That works too."

Qin Yu sighed and gave up on explaining further.

To understand to this extent is already an exceptional achievement for this girl.

The three continued flying forward, passing through a low hill, before a dense forest appeared ahead.

A night breeze swept through the woods, carrying a faint scent.

Just then, Xiao Yi Xian's figure suddenly stopped, hovering in mid-air.

Qin Yu noticed her unusual movement, immediately stopped, and turned to look at her.

"What's wrong?"

"Qin Yu, can you smell it?"

Xiao Yi Xian frowned slightly, her gaze falling on the dense forest below.

"There's a strange smell coming from the woods ahead..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu sniffed carefully, his brows twitching slightly.

He was so focused on talking to Zi Yan that he hadn't really paid attention to the smells around him.

If you calm down and focus your attention now, you can indeed sense a faint, unusual aura in the air.

That aura was somewhat similar to the distinctive bloody smell emanating from the Blood Sect members that Qin Yu had encountered, but it wasn't entirely the same.

There's an ambush ahead.

Qin Yu's eyes narrowed slightly.

"The Blood Sect members were already waiting here."

Upon hearing that there was an ambush, Zi Yan was not afraid at all; instead, she became even more excited.

Qin Yu glanced at her but said nothing. He simply led the two of them to land nearby, concealing his presence and sensing the movements ahead.

As expected, it went exactly as he predicted.

Before long, some people couldn't hold back any longer and started making their moves.

This was exactly what the Blood Sect had planned.

After a fierce fight, many corpses lay before Feng San, blood soaking the fallen leaves on the ground, and a pungent smell of blood filled the air.

Beside Feng San, two more figures appeared: two middle-aged men, both dressed in dark red robes, whose bloody aura was no less intense than Feng San's.

These two are the other two people on the list, one a four- Dou Wang and the other a six- Dou Wang.

Apart from a Grand Elder at the Dou Emperor level and an Elder close to Dou Emperor, these three can be considered the backbone of the Blood Sect.

The Black-Corner Region is a place of too much bloodshed, so even though the Blood Sect is a well-known force in the Black-Corner Region, its foundation is not very deep and cannot compare with long-established forces such as the Black Emperor Sect and the Demon Flame Valley.

"Heh... Sending three Dou Wang... Your Blood Sect is certainly cautious enough."

One of the attackers, still alive, lay in a pool of blood, struggling to lift his head as he looked at the three figures before him, his eyes filled with fear and resentment.

Feng San glanced down at him, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

"Alright, remember this in your next life: Earth Tier Dou Skills are not something people like you are worthy of touching."

In the surrounding dense forest, those who had not yet made a move, including the several forces that wanted to intercept the goods, fell silent.

Three Dou Wang —this lineup is indeed somewhat beyond expectations.

They were confident they could take down Feng San, but facing three Blood Sect Dou Wang working together, even if they could, the cost would be enormous.

For a moment, the dense forest was eerily quiet, with only the rustling of the night wind through the treetops.

After exchanging a glance, the three Dou Wang elders of the Blood Sect also prepared to leave as soon as possible.

"How can this be allowed?"

Seeing that no one around him was making any moves, as if they were about to give up completely, Qin Yu suddenly had an idea.

Three Dou Wang banding together are indeed a tough opponent.

but...

Qin Yu closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and a wisp of his Soul Power spread downwards along the ground, activating the Earth Vein Force here.

After reaching the Dou Wang stage, the effects of the Earth Sovereign's attributes are indeed greatly enhanced. Don't believe me? Just look:

"Boom--"

A deep, muffled roar came from underground, the ground shook violently, and a thick stone ridge suddenly burst forth from the earth and shot into the sky.

The three Blood Sect elders reacted quickly, retreating almost simultaneously the instant the stone ridge broke through the ground.

However, the stone ridge was too thick and pierced right through the center of the three-person formation, forcibly tearing the three people who were originally very close together apart.

This turn of events happened too quickly, but after only a moment's hesitation, someone took the first step.

More than a dozen figures burst out of the shadows of the dense forest in an instant, each rushing towards the three Blood Sect elders who had been separated.

Although we don't know who did this, it really did them a big favor, giving them the opportunity to divide and conquer.

What? You're saying these three are elders of the Blood Sect?

How many Blood Sect elders have died already? Three more won't make a difference.

What's more, they possess Earth Tier Dou Skills!

Earth Tier Dou Skills! Let alone the Blood Sect, they would even dare to try their luck with the Black Emperor Sect if given the chance!

The previously stable situation completely collapsed after Qin Yu, this pillar of support, broke through the ground.

Zi Yan stood on the tree trunk, her eyes wide as she watched the sudden chaos below.

"Qin Yu! How did you do that?! It's huge!"

"Yes, I am indeed very big."

Xiao Yi Xian, standing to the side, gave Qin Yu a playful nudge. Was this something she could discuss with Zi Yan?

Even if I explained it to her, she wouldn't understand!

"Actually, I don't understand it either. How can these people be so in sync? They've never even met each other before, yet they can coordinate like this."

Looking at the chaotic scene ahead, Xiao Yi Xian couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

These dozen or so people clearly came from different factions, yet they seemed to have a secret code as soon as Qin Yu made his move.

Not only did they attack simultaneously, but they also fought their own separate attacks, showing no signs of chaos.

"That's what you call joining the group instantly."

Qin Yu chuckled. In the Black-Corner Region, in these life-or-death battles, just start the fight; your "teammates" will find their own positions.
