Chapter 205 Tracking_1

"Do you want the old man to explain to you?"

Long Xiaoyao's expression was severe, tightening the hearts of those present.

"Is it that the Great Priest doesn't even want to give us an explanation?"

Feng Ling had not expected Long Xiaoyao to deny her face like this.

Long Xiaoyao suddenly laughed, "I am Long Xiaoyao, since when do I need to explain my actions to anyone?"

"You must understand, I am not discussing this matter with you but informing you…"

Informing?

Feng Ling was taken aback, wondering if such insistence was truly necessary.

At the same time, she also realized that there might indeed be a secret associated with Yan Shaozhe, one that Long Xiaoyao greatly valued.

But...

She could never have guessed that Yan Shaozhe was actually the son of Long Xiaoyao.

"Feng Ling, don't speak anymore. I understand the Great Priest's words, and I will do as the Great Priest has requested," stated Zhong Liwu abruptly, his voice grave.

Feng Ling looked at Zhong Liwu with surprise.

Being intimates, she understood Zhong Liwu quite well.

Beneath his calm façade, there was surely some astonishing plan hidden.

But... looking again at the stern Long Xiaoyao, she chose to keep some thoughts to herself.

After all, expressing Zhong Liwu's thoughts directly at such a time would not ease the tension between the two, but rather escalate the conflict.

'I can only wait for now, and try to persuade him when I'm alone with the Sect Hierarch. No matter what, we cannot afford a major conflict between the Great Priest and the Sect Hierarch. Otherwise, the Holy Spirit Cult will face a significant blow.'

By then, Feng Ling had come up with a plan in her mind.

"What is the current situation at Shrek Academy?"

Seeing Zhong Liwu compromise, Long Xiaoyao was pleased and did not dwell further, instead inquiring about the situation in Shrek City.

Feng Ling glared at Crow Douluo, who immediately understood and stepped forward, saying in a heavy tone, "There hasn't been much change since before. According to our spies, we have not detected any powerful individuals entering Shrek City. Many civilians, however, have left Shrek City."

"A long time ago, the Sect Hierarch used strategies to ruin the reputation of Shrek Academy, and managed to turn them against the three big empires. Apart from the Hao Tian Clan, no one else is willing to help them now."

Hearing this, Long Xiaoyao fell silent for a moment before praising, "You have done a very wise thing, very good indeed."

"Great Priest, this success is all thanks to the wise leadership of the Sect Hierarch," Crow Douluo said with a sycophantic smile on his face.

Long Xiaoyao glanced at him, then turned his gaze to Zhong Liwu and said, "Now, gather the followers of the Holy Spirit Cult. We're going to attack Shrek Academy right now."

"Ah?" Zhong Liwu was taken aback. "So soon, Great Priest? Shouldn't we plan a bit more?"

Long Xiaoyao shook his head, "Is it necessary? My arrival is the last straw that breaks the camel's back for Shrek Academy. I can hardly wait to enter Shrek... to meet my rival."

Feng Ling said, "Great Priest, we still have two hidden cards that we haven't played. If we activate both of them, we might gain unexpected results and reduce our losses."

"Hm? Are you questioning me?" Long Xiaoyao's brow furrowed, giving Feng Ling a cold look.

Such a terrifying gaze!

Feng Ling trembled inwardly and involuntarily took a step back, quickly lowering her eyes and said timidly, "Great Priest, I... I didn't mean that."

Long Xiaoyao snorted coldly, "Then have everyone prepared. We attack at nightfall."

"Yes!"

Feng Ling replied softly.

...

"Where could that kid be going?"

On the streets of Ming City.

Herculean Douluo couldn't help but secretly transmit his voice to Blood Fiend Douluo and Xuanyu Douluo.

"It seems like this direction is heading out of the city?"

Xuanyu Douluo said with some uncertainty.

"I feel that something is off. This kid recently slaughtered his own father. Logically, he should be worried about the Xingluo Empire's retaliation."

Blood Fiend Douluo was also puzzled.

"Hehehe, I think you're overthinking it," Herculean Douluo laughed coldly, "Do you guess there's a possibility that this guy simply doesn't take the Xingluo Empire seriously at all?

Or perhaps he's never had any regard for the Xingluo Empire.

After all, this is Ming City, the capital of the Sun-Moon Empire, teeming with strong individuals. If I weren't travelling in a group, I'd really hesitate to set foot in Ming City."

"That's quite possible," Xuanyu Douluo nodded slightly.

"Hmph, when a man is about to perish, Heaven first makes him mad," Blood Fiend Douluo snorted coldly and said icily, "This kid is indeed arrogant. That also means he's not far from death."

"Let's go, follow him. If he dares to leave the city, there's no need for us to hesitate anymore, we'll just make our move and kill him."

"Haha, that's exactly what I was thinking,"

Herculean Douluo laughed heartily, "After we've dealt with this guy, we can return to the Empire to report back. In this damned place, I'm on edge all the time. After going back, I'll definitely find a few beautiful girls to relax with."

Having waited for so long, he was already impatient.

Upon hearing this, both Xuanyu Douluo and Blood Fiend Douluo looked at him with disdain.

...

"Hey, where did everyone go?"

Following Qin Xiao out of Ming City, they found that Qin Xiao's figure had disappeared.

"Not good, it's very likely that this kid has noticed us and has run away!"

Blood Fiend Douluo's expression suddenly changed.

He furrowed his brow and sniffed the air.

"I sense the kid's scent is very faint, which means that he left this place at breakneck speed after leaving the city."

"Cunning!" Herculean Douluo stomped his feet in frustration, "I said we shouldn't bother with so much and just finish him off in the city, but you wouldn't listen to my suggestion. Now that he's escaped, how are we supposed to answer for this?"

"What's the rush!" Blood Fiend Douluo furrowed his brow, "If I can smell his scent, then we can track him.

Don't worry, we will catch up with him."

"Really?" The anger on Herculean Douluo's face instantly faded away, and a smile appeared on his rugged features.

"Hmph, follow me," Blood Fiend Douluo snorted and pursued in a certain direction.

Herculean Douluo and Xuanyu Douluo followed suit.

It wasn't long.

The group arrived at the mountains outside the city.

Blood Fiend Douluo stopped, his eyebrows still furrowed tightly.

"Why aren't we chasing anymore?" Herculean Douluo asked, puzzled.

"The scent, it's completely vanished here," Blood Fiend Douluo said in a deep voice.

Vanished?

Upon hearing this, both Herculean Douluo and Xuanyu Douluo looked around in bewilderment.

After a moment, confusion appeared on their faces.

They couldn't see Qin Xiao's figure at all.
