We're practicing all martial arts, so why did you switch to easy mode?

"Hmm? A Martial Immortal Realm expert? Trying to pinpoint my location? Looks like they've discovered me!"

The Crown Prince, who had received instructions from Abiro, was tracking Zhu Jiuyou and his group according to the information provided by Abiro. However, he sensed a hidden power descending from the middle of the journey.

As a King-level Asura, he immediately realized the source of this power: only martial artists at the Martial Immortal realm could use the power of calculation.

Unfortunately, this power of calculation was not strong and was easily destroyed by him.

Not only did they not reveal their own location, they even used it to pinpoint the other party's location.

The other party probably realized this as well, so they quickly withdrew their calculation power.

"If I'm not mistaken, the person who deduced my identity must be related to Zhu Jiuyou!"

His Highness's eyes flickered, his mind clear, and in just a moment, many thoughts came to mind.

"Now, they should be trying to shake off my pursuit."

Zhu Jiuyou and the others have confirmed his pursuit, and next they will probably try to find a way to avoid being found by him.

The two sides were far apart, so even he couldn't get there immediately.

This means that by the time he arrived, Zhu Jiuyou and the others might have already left.

Especially after the brief exchange between the two sides, the martial artist at the Martial Immortal realm, although unaware that their whereabouts had already been exposed, realized that he was no match for him and would quickly take measures to avoid being discovered.

He had some guesses about what the other party would do next.

"If I'm not mistaken, they should split into two groups, deliberately leaving clues to lead me to track a fake team, while the real team will secretly leave the territory of Shengyuan City."

To be even more blatant, the fake team would deliberately stay nearby, waiting for my appearance, and sacrifice themselves to help Zhu Jiuyou and the others leave.

Hehe, unfortunately, no matter which one it is, I have a chance to crack it.

The most urgent task is to reunite with the third brother.

He chuckled lightly, guessing at Zhu Jiuyou and the others' plans, a mocking expression appearing on his face.

Immediately, he sped up and headed towards where Zhu Jiuyou and the others were.

Before setting off, he had already sent a telepathic message to the Third Prince, informing him that the two would meet at their destination.

The original plan was to involve the Second Prince, but he replied that he had already found the murderer who killed Ayana.

Currently, we are searching for this person and are unable to escape for the time being.

He didn't care; two people were enough.

Soon, with his rapid travels, he arrived near the place where Zhu Jiuyou and the others had passed.

Before he could even look, he sensed a familiar presence flying in from the sky. He looked up and saw that it was none other than the Third Prince.

Upon seeing the other party, he slowed down and released his message.

The Third Prince quickly spotted the First Prince, rushed over, and asked, "Where are they?"

He assumed the Crown Prince had arrived long ago, hence his question.

The prince shook his head: "I just arrived too, but if we look carefully, they should leave some clues."

The two began searching the vicinity.

When Zhu Yan and the others, who were hiding in the shadows, saw the Crown Prince, they immediately sensed his strength and knew that he was the King-level Asura that Elder Feng had mentioned.

Just as they were about to reveal themselves to distract the Crown Prince, a sudden change occurred. Not only did one Asura appear, but another one also arrived.

Most importantly, this Asura's strength was also at the King level.

They couldn't even handle one King-level Asura, and now two King-level Asuras have appeared.

If they are discovered, do they really have a chance to escape?
Everyone came up with the same answer, and their faces turned pale.

They looked at Zhu Yan and began to speak:
"Zhu Yan, how about we reveal ourselves later? Revealing ourselves now is practically suicide!"

"Yes, two King-level Asuras are simply beyond our ability to deal with."

"Old Feng deceived us; he didn't tell us there were two Asuras."

"Of course, don't misunderstand, it's not that we don't want to be exposed, but rather that this matter needs to be considered carefully!"

"..."

Despite everyone's attempts to persuade Zhu Yan, he remained calm and silent.

He also wanted to leave, and he knew that neither he nor any of them were a match for the two King-level Asuras.

But the problem is, he had no choice.

Unlike these guards, the lives of his wife and children were entirely in the hands of Zhu Jiuyou and his group.

If he really escapes, Zhu Jiuyou will definitely not let his wife and children off once he finds out.

But if he doesn't escape, he will also face a desperate situation.

What should I do?
He doesn't have a perfect solution right now.

Moreover, according to Elder Feng's estimation, it will take at least ten hours to lure away the Heavenly Demon this time.

Only in this way can they successfully cross the Heavenly Demon Territory of Shengyuan City.

In other words, they not only had to hold off the two demons for ten hours, but also ensure that the truth was not discovered by them during that time.

"The longer this drags on, the worse it will be for us. What if there are more demons behind us? Wouldn't we be surrounded? It is true that Elder Feng is hiding the truth, but the most urgent thing for us is not to blame the other party, but to find a way to lure these two demons away."

After a moment of contemplation, Zhu Yan spoke.

"Find a way to distract them? Easier said than done!" someone replied directly.

They understood the meaning behind Zhu Yan's words.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yan's gaze suddenly turned cold. He said in a deep voice, "In that case, I will lure away one of the Asuras, and you will lure away the other. We will each go in opposite directions, how about that?"

"This……"

The group remained silent, exchanging glances as if considering the feasibility of the method.

With Zhu Yan drawing away one of the demons, their danger would indeed be greatly reduced, since there were many of them on their side, and they could easily split up and run away.

Of course, this is all on the premise that they can escape.

"it is good!"

Finally, after weighing the pros and cons, someone agreed to Zhu Yan's proposal, and the others echoed his sentiments.

Zhu Yan nodded and pointed at the Third Prince, saying, "I'll lure that Heavenly Demon away."

After saying that, without waiting for anyone's reply, he quietly moved to another direction, then deliberately revealed his aura to attract the attention of the Third Prince who was observing nearby, while simultaneously unleashing an attack technique.

"Who?"

The Third Prince dodged Zhu Yan's attack, keenly spotted Zhu Yan's figure, and pursued him without hesitation.

Before long, the Third Prince was successfully lured away by Zhu Yan.

Seeing this, the crowd decided not to waste any more time and followed suit, intending to use this as a way to distract the prince.

As the prince watched the fleeing figures, a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips.

Then, he vanished in a flash.

……

The words are divided into two parts.

Zhu Jiuyou was much more comfortable.

Aside from the non-stop journey, there are no other threats for the time being.

They had just passed through the Heavenly Demon's outpost and arrived near Holy Yuan City.

This once bustling city is now in ruins, with hardly any survivors left.

"Elder Feng, how are Zhu Yan and the others doing now?"

After traveling for a long time, Zhu Jiuyou and the others took a short rest near Shengyuan City. During the rest, Zhu Jiuyou did not forget to inquire about the situation of Zhu Yan and the others.

Upon hearing this, Elder Feng closed his eyes for a moment, then suddenly opened them, his expression changing drastically.

Seeing this, Zhu Jiuyou's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

"Oh no, Zhu Yan and the others have separated!"

He left his primordial spirit mark on Zhu Yan and the others in order to monitor them.

However, in his recent perception, he discovered that Zhu Yan's primordial spirit imprint was not in the same position as the primordial spirit imprints of others.

The two are moving in opposite directions.

Fortunately, neither of these directions was the one they were heading in.

"That Zhu Yan! I repeatedly told him to obediently lure away the Heavenly Demon for me, yet he dares to disobey me. Does he really think I wouldn't dare to do anything to his wife and children?" Zhu Jiuyou was both shocked and furious upon hearing this, worried that Zhu Yan might deliberately reveal their whereabouts.

"Young Master, this matter is probably not so simple," Elder Feng said after a moment's hesitation.

Zhu Jiuyou shook his head: "If it wasn't Zhu Yan who deserted in the face of battle, what else could it be? Or has the situation changed?"

He noticed that something was wrong with Elder Feng, and at the end of his sentence, his eyes flickered slightly as he added a sentence.

Old Feng nodded: "To be honest, young master, the group that separated from Zhu Yan just now had all their primordial spirit imprints disappear. If nothing unexpected happens, I'm afraid that group of people are already dead. Although Zhu Yan changed his escape route, his primordial spirit imprint is still there, and it is moving away from us at an alarming speed."

"You mean...?" Zhu Jiuyou's expression changed, and he quickly realized the key point.

Feng Lao nodded slightly: "That's right. I suspect that there is more than one Asura chasing us this time. At least Zhu Yan and the others have already confirmed it for us. The question now is whether there are any Heavenly Demons heading in our direction."

"This……"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Jiuyou instantly panicked, "Then let's hurry on our way!"

At this point, he no longer cared about blaming Zhu Yan; he only hoped that Zhu Yan could hold on a little longer.

Otherwise, once the Heavenly Demons realize what's happening, they will all surround and attack them.

Old Master Feng had the same idea, so he gestured for everyone to stand up.

But before they could even set off, a voice suddenly rang out: "So my older brother and the others were looking for you!"

The sounds seemed to come from all directions, overlapping and filling the void.

"who?"

Feng Lao became alert, looking around, trying to catch a glimpse of the other person.

From the voice, he learned of the other party's strength; it was actually a King-level Heavenly Demon.

Moreover, in terms of strength alone, his opponent seems to be a few points stronger than him.

As soon as Elder Feng finished speaking, a figure swept over from a distance, arriving in the blink of an eye and hovering in mid-air, looking down at everyone.

He is none other than the Second Prince.

He didn't actually find the killer's location; he just didn't want to get involved.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. He originally intended to try his luck in Shengyuan City, but he didn't expect to run into Zhu Jiuyou and the others here.

Upon encountering them, he did not avoid them but instead revealed himself, intending to capture them personally.

With a sweep of his gaze, he took in the strength of everyone present.

The others are not worth mentioning; the biggest threat to him is Elder Feng, but unfortunately, he seems to be injured.

The most important person was Zhu Jiuyou, who was surrounded by everyone.

His gaze shifted back and forth between Zhu Jiuyou and Elder Feng.

"Take the young master away quickly, I'll cover the rear." Elder Feng transmitted his voice to everyone.

But the Second Prince caught it. He chuckled and, without further hesitation, took action. He raised his palm, and billowing black mist surged out, blotting out the sky and transforming into a massive black mountain that pressed down.

"go!"

Upon seeing this, Zhu Jiuyou quickly retreated, leaving Feng Lao alone to defend the area.

Elder Feng dared not be careless. He stepped forward, soared into the sky, and raised his hands, like a strongman supporting the sky, holding up a piece of sky for everyone.

With a deafening roar, the two forces clashed, and all sorts of laws clashed within them.

In an instant, the weather changed dramatically, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and a fierce storm swept up, engulfing the two figures in a massive tempest.

It even stirred up a hundred-foot-long hurricane that spread in all directions.

"Hmph, looking for death!"

Seeing that Elder Feng had withstood his attack, the Second Prince snorted coldly and mobilized all his Heavenly Demon power.

Endless demonic power surged forth like a tide, swiftly descending upon Black Mountain.

The old man below felt this profound power and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

His already injured body was at a disadvantage in the clash of the two forces, and now that his opponent had intensified their attack, his injuries worsened and his breathing became weak. But at this moment, he knew he could not retreat.

"die!"

The Second Prince's senses were very sharp, and he quickly noticed Elder Feng's weakness. So he pressed his advantage and suddenly unleashed his full power.

A violent force surged into Black Mountain, and Old Man Feng could no longer hold on, descending along with Black Mountain.

By this time, Zhu Jiuyou and the others had already left the area covered by Black Mountain.

Even so, Elder Feng did not leave.

The question is no longer whether he wants to leave, but whether he can leave.

The Second Prince had already identified him; if he wanted to leave, he would need the strength to do so.

Rumble!
As Montenegro descends, the situation below becomes increasingly dangerous.

Fresh blood kept oozing from his cracked skin, making him look like a blood-soaked figure.

"let's go!"

After witnessing all this, Zhu Jiuyou not only did not ask anyone to help him, but also made a decisive decision.

Old Feng is doomed to die.

If they stay here, they will die too.

Rather than all of us die, we should take advantage of the time that Elder Feng is buying for them and leave as soon as possible.

He believed that Elder Feng was thinking the same thing at that moment.

"This……"

Some people hesitated, but Zhu Jiuyou didn't delay at all and turned to leave.

Seeing this, the man gritted his teeth and followed.

The Second Prince, who was not far away, saw Zhu Jiuyou and the others leaving and a smile appeared on his face.

He sneered, "These are the guys you were protecting. Too bad they abandoned you. What's the point of your resistance?"

Upon hearing this, the stubbornly resisting Elder Feng suddenly turned his gaze to the direction in which Zhu Jiuyou and the others had left.

He wasn't angry; instead, he smiled and grinned, saying, "They left just in time."

"what?"

Feng Lao's words startled the Second Prince, but he quickly realized what he meant.

"You want to self-destruct?!"

Old Feng's speed was even faster than his voice. Before he could finish speaking, the Second Prince felt a destructive energy surge into the sky.

Boom!!! (End of Chapter)
