"I've tried, but it's no use."
Li Xiaobai shook his head. The moment he realized they were surrounded, he activated his Thousand-Miles Instant Travel Talisman, but to no avail. There must be a peerless master nearby who had fixed space itself, rendering all talismans ineffective under this patch of sky.
"Junior brother, you're not being fair, trying to escape on your own!"
Liu Jinshui said somewhat sulkily.
"It was an urgent situation. I didn't expect space to be locked down. How about trying brother's Five Elements Earth-escaping Talisman?"
"No use. Ol' Fatty tried it early on. Someone has set limits under the earth, we can't escape using these tricks." Liu Jinshui explained.
Li Xiaobai's face darkened: "Brother, it seems you didn't think of your junior brother when you were trying to run."
"This brother was scouting for you, you see. Now that I've checked both the sky and the ground, isn't it much more convenient?"
Liu Jinshui touched his nose, saying somewhat guiltily.
