Chapter 574: Traces of Mountainseas (1)

Su Yu's group continued their journey.

At the same time.

One-eye finally met Xue'e. He went straight to the point and ordered, "Attack Su Yu's group, create chaos, and split them up."

Xue'e was an expert from the Blood Fire Sect who had once organized an attack on Beifeng City's convoy when Su Yu was on his way to the capital. He had since defected from the Blood Fire Sect, preparing to establish a new Divine Skywing Sect with a group of people.

Xue'e had an unsightly expression as he glared at the Cloudbreach beside him. That bastard had set him up! There was a Mountainsea here!

"Lord..."

Xue'e smiled and said, "I am naturally willing to attack Su Yu. But their group is protected by Mountainseas. Meanwhile, we don't even have many experts above the Skysoar Realm. I'm afraid we won't be able to force them to split up..."

He did not intend to go on a suicide mission. Unlike his ignorant subordinates, he was aware that Su Yu's group was under the protection of several powerful experts. What was the point of throwing their lives away pointlessly?

One-eye's face turned cold as he questioned, "Are you refusing my order?"

"I wouldn't dare!"

Xue'e said, "Lord, I believe head-on attacks won't do much. We will only be throwing our lives away without achieving anything."

One-eye thought to himself that this was indeed his goal. He wanted these people to throw their lives away. Su Yu had said that he wanted to fight more enemies to temper himself and earn a little bit of money. Thus, One-eye was trying to help Su Yu with that.

But it was clear these people wouldn't be fooled so easily. How surprising. Wasn't the Blood Fire Sect supposed to be filled with lunatics? Wasn't it supposed to be easy to instigate these fellows to throw their lives away? Why was this guy refusing?

Seeing that One-eye was frowning, Xue'e hurriedly said, "Of course, I understand what you're trying to achieve. You wish to split them up before eliminating them one by one, right?"

"But I doubt a head-on attack can achieve that. We need to focus on splitting those myriad race students from the group. Since those experts are the dao protectors, they will naturally split up once the students are split."

One-eye coldly asked, "What are you trying to say?"

"Through my observation, there are some cloud tigers, foxes, barbaric bulls, and some other races in the group. Lord, have you heard of something called the Celestial Fox Saliva?"

One-eye's expression changed slightly as he said, "Yes."

Xue'e smiled and said, "I have some in my possession. This thing isn't too useful for the other races, but it is very attractive for foxes. I heard that this thing is capable of purifying their bloodline and allowing them to achieve evolution. And the fox race is very sensitive toward this thing. They can smell it even from dozens of kilometers away..."

One-eye stared at Xue'e without saying anything.

With a smile, Xue'e suggested, "Lord, let's take it slow. We'll lure the fox expert away from the group first. We can get a Cloudbreach to set up an ambush from far away before fleeing with the saliva on them. In this situation, would the fox race expert give chase?"

One-eye frowned as he said, "They won't leave rashly since they know that things are getting dangerous. Even if they do give chase, more than one Mountainsea might give chase together."

The idea was decent, but after the death of one Cloudbreach in the group, they might not be willing to give chase to any escaping enemies anymore. One-eye even started regretting his decision to kill that iron-winged bird. Without that death, the fox Mountainsea would have been much easier to isolate from the group.

Unfortunately, he had found out about this saliva too late. After all, the Celestial Fox Saliva was only effective against the fox race. Thus, people would rarely carry this item on them. Where had Xue'e found something like this?

"Lord, why don't we give it a try?" Xue'e said, "Send a few cannon fodder over to make them numb. After a while, they might even get comfortable again. Even if that fox Mountainsea can resist the temptation, that fox student might not be able to do the same."

One-eye coldly said, "But that student might not be willing to leave alone. He can also instigate the entire group to go with him. In that situation, wouldn't the saliva be a free gift to them?"

Xue's smiled and said, "There's no harm in trying, right? It's not like the saliva is a valuable treasure. It only works for the fox race. We won't lose much even if our plan fails."

What Xue'e left unmentioned was the fact that the saliva wasn't even his in the first place. Why would he care about losing it? And why should this One-eye care about losing it? For now, Xue'e's priority was his life. He did not wish to throw his life away attacking a group with several Mountainseas.

After a short silence, One-eye nodded and said, "Fine. Give it a try. I suppose your cowardice is presenting us with a new plan."

Xue'e cursed inwardly. He was about to say something when One-eye grabbed him. A ray of light shot out of One-eye's third eye and landed on Xue'e's body.

"If you decide to flee, you better find a way to withstand my Devileye Fire or you won't be able to escape death."

Xue'e cursed inwardly again. He could only hope that this bastard would perish during this operation or he would never regain his freedom.

***

Su Yu's group moved nearer and nearer to Tianshui. They encountered a few more attacks, but these attackers were quite weak. The strongest among them was only at the Skysoar Realm.

These attackers were mainly some random unimportant members of the cult. Thus, they were probably clueless about the fact that Su Yu's group was under the protection of several Mountainseas.

No, they were definitely clueless or they wouldn't have been able to gather the courage to attack. But as more and more people were killed, the number of attacks started dropping. Even the low-ranking members were starting to see the danger posed by Su Yu's group.

Meanwhile, Bai Ce was starting to get distracted, constantly looking in a certain direction. He smelled something. The others couldn't smell it, but as a member of the fox race, he was able to smell the Celestial Fox Saliva.

Someone was tailing them from dozens of kilometers away. More importantly, that someone was carrying a drop of Celestial Fox Saliva.

Bai Ce's very blood was stirring in excitement. Was this a trap or was this a coincidence? Was the tail truly staying so far away from them out of fear? He was sure that his elder had smelled the saliva as well.

Whenever the group stopped, the tail would stop, constantly maintaining the same distance between them. The constant stirring of his excited bloodline caused Bai Ce a huge amount of discomfort.

Suddenly, Su Yu looked at him and asked, "Brother Bai, did you injure yourself?"

Bai Ce hurriedly explained, "No. I'm simply worried. Are there more experts tailing us?"

"Don't worry about it." Su Yu smiled, "At this point, we only need to stay calm and stick together. It won't be that easy for our enemies to deal with six Mountainseas."

After gazing ahead, Su Yu said, "We will reach Tianshui in two hours. But we won't be entering the city as we don't want to bring them any trouble. A few hours after that, we'll reach Nanyuan."

Bai Ce said nothing, but his bloodline was stirring harder and harder. Damn it! Celestial Fox Saliva! He wanted to get it, but should he come clean? Would Su Yu even agree to help him? That was highly unlikely. After all, this might be a trap.

Bai Ce forced his bloodline to calm down. He kept telling himself that this was a trap. Both he and his elder should stay calm. They couldn't let this trap fool them. He repeatedly told himself that this was only the Celestial Fox Saliva. There was nothing special about that. Sure, that was very useful for their race, but he definitely didn't care about it.

High in the sky.

Instead of staying together, the Mountainseas were scattered all around the group. The fox race Mountainsea had also smelled the Celestial Fox Saliva a long time ago. He constantly looked in the direction of the saliva with an uncertain expression.

He also believed that this was a trap. He could clearly sense that the person carrying the saliva was a Cloudbreach who had been following them yet lacked the courage to approach them.

"This is a trap. I can't fall for it."

He would only be willing to go if the other Mountainseas were willing to go as well. At that thought, his eyes flickered and he sent a voice transmission to the other Mountainseas, "A Cloudbreach behind us is trying to lure me over with Celestial Fox Saliva. The two Mountainseas from earlier might be hiding nearby. Why don't we join hands and deal with them?"

Upon hearing that, the other Mountainseas looked at each other in hesitation.

While they were considering the proposal, the barbaric bull race Mountainsea said, "Sure. But you need to give us an appropriate payment for the help."

Since the old bull had agreed, the Mountainseas from the sky horse race and the mountain antelope race found it hard to disagree even though they didn't feel like agreeing. But it wouldn't reflect well on them if they disagreed now.

The fox race Mountainsea said, "They might have two or three Mountainseas waiting in hiding. We can keep two Mountainseas here and launch a surprise attack on them with the rest of us. They are looking down on us too much. We might all come from different races, but we are all allies of humanity. How would I hide this from everyone and step into a trap?"

The fox race Mountainsea snorted inwardly. Did the people trying to bait him over think that they were the same as the cult? Ignoring everyone else, the barbaric bull race and the cloud tiger race were currently allied to him. How would he hide this from them and take the risk alone? He definitely wanted to get his hands on the Celestial Fox Saliva, but he would not lose his life taking it.

Before long, a group of experts flew toward the tail. As the sky above Su Yu warped, he looked up and saw several figures flying away from them. He frowned, disappointed that the fox race Mountainsea had not left alone. Whatever. It wasn't like he had placed a lot of hope on this ploy.

Wasn't Xue'e very good at running? Time to put that talent to use again.

Xue’e was a name even Su Yu knew. After all, that was someone who had attacked the Beifeng students on the same day he was heading to the capital. Even after the Great Xia Cultural Research Academy dispatched several elders to hunt him down, he still managed to survive until now.

Further away from the group, Xue'e sensed the movement of multiple Mountainseas and cursed before fleeing without hesitation. Why were the other Mountainseas helping that fox? How idiotic! Would it benefit them if the fox race Mountainsea grew stronger? Well, time for Xue'e to run since his plan had failed.

He turned into a bloody arrow and shot away, instantly vanishing into thin air. But since he had the Celestial Fox Saliva on him, the fox race Mountainsea was able to sense his location. Thus, the fox race Mountainsea gave chase alongside the old mountainsea antelope and a ninth-stage Cloudbreach.

***

Seeing that, Su Yu frowned and shouted, "Seniors, don't go too far. Be careful lest this is a trap."

He would be more than happy to see them fall into a trap, but he still needed to put up an act, right? It didn't matter anymore. One-eye and the others wouldn't be able to deal with two Mountainseas and a ninth-stage Cloudbreach. What a pity.

Su Yu decided to give up on this plan. Perhaps he should settle with getting Xue'e killed. After all, the attack on Nanyuan's convoy during his journey to the capital had also been organized by Xue'e. Thus, Xue'e could also be considered an enemy of his. Sure, Su Yu himself was fine, but a few students had still perished in that attack.

The group resumed their journey. Right at that moment, a series of loud noises erupted ahead of them. Great Mountain appeared.

With a roar, he swung his axe. A blood moon rose in front of him, but the moon was instantly cleaved apart. At the same time, the old sky horse showed himself as well. Just as the old sky horse was about to provide support, Su Yu said, "Don't go!"

He couldn't allow the old sky horse to go.
