Becoming a duke or marquis is no longer a question; these people will then be able to establish their own family lineage and ensure its continuation.
However, their mood quickly soured, because not long after, both sides discovered that there was another fork in the road ahead.
Clearly, those people have split up again.
"What a cunning woman!" Both Lu Xiao and Wei Pingyang cursed inwardly, clearly only Bi Linglong could have come up with such a scheme.
"Unfortunately, it's pointless!" He Li smiled and encouraged his men. Anyway, they had an absolute advantage. If the target split up, they could also split up. No matter which route they took, they would have an absolute advantage.
After encountering several more forks in the road, Wei Pingyang and He Li's teams separated.
Throughout the journey, Wei Pingyang kept thinking about the black dagger in Zu An's hand, the dagger that brought him the fear of death.
"Could Lu Xiao have taken this opportunity to sneak back and steal that dagger?"
"Otherwise, why would he have stopped me from going into the water to retrieve it?"
"Hmph, this guy has been wary of me all these years, worried that my cultivation will surpass his and affect his position."
“This time, the King of Qi gave him the life-saving elixir, but not me, just because he is the chief guest minister. I must take his place.”
...
Various thoughts came to mind, and he became increasingly unable to restrain himself. So he found an opportunity to separate from his men and, while searching the area alone, flew directly back the way he had come.
Fearing being discovered by Lu Xiao, he dared not waste any time and sped along the way.
Having reached the Grandmaster realm, he could fly through the air, so it didn't take him long to return to the battlefield.
The stench of blood here has attracted many ferocious beasts, but they pose no threat to him as a grandmaster.
He went straight to the pool and jumped in, heading towards the spot where Zu'an had fallen into the water, just as he remembered.
As a grandmaster, his mastery and familiarity with the power of heaven and earth are far beyond what ordinary cultivators can match, so a mere pool of water is naturally no challenge for him.
He doesn't even need to form a protective shield around him; he can directly communicate with the water element using his vital energy and breathe underwater.
He continued downhill, and as he went deeper, the light around him grew dimmer and dimmer.
However, this did not affect him. He directly used his divine sense to scan the surroundings, without needing to use his eyes at all.
"Found you!" Wei Pingyang was overjoyed, then quickly dived down and rushed towards his target.
Soon he "saw" Zuan submerged at the bottom of the water, his skin as pale as a corpse, with a large hole in his chest, obviously caused by Lu Xiao's flying sword.
There was no more bleeding, but Wei Pingyang wasn't surprised. After so much time, he should have bled to death by now.
Without delay, he reached into the man's clothes and began searching for the mysterious black dagger.
"???"
"Is this guy a donkey?"
Wei Pingyang felt as if he had been hit by a huge blow when he touched something. He also remembered that the other party had just used a spell to make his pants fall down, exposing his weakness to everyone's sight.
He could almost feel the mockery in his subordinates' eyes all the way, and he wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground.
In that instant when he lost his composure, the "corpse" beside him suddenly moved, wrapping itself tightly around him like an octopus.
"This guy is still alive?" Wei Pingyang was shocked. How could this be? Even he couldn't withstand Lu Xiao's full-force attack. How could this young man do it?
It doesn't matter anyway, I'll just send him on his way. I'll just use my power to kill him.
Who knew that just as his power was gathering, it was sucked away by a powerful suction force.
"What's going on?" Wei Pingyang was a little confused. In that instant, he felt as if every inch of the person holding him was a black hole, emanating a huge suction force.
The vital energy within his body surged forth like a dam bursting.
"No!" Wei Pingyang's face was no longer calm and collected as he struggled desperately.

Today I combined three chapters, so I should still owe 12 chapters.
Sigh, every now and then I just don't want to work, I just want to lie at home and play, living that kind of life of collecting rent and counting money...
It's a pity I can only dream about it now. It seems like all I've ever done in my life is pay rent for others. I wonder if I'll ever have the chance to be a landlord.
