At this moment, Su Yang was leading Lin Anlan, Xiao Ju, Xiao Shihua, and three Icewing Dogs northward. In order to save time, Su Yang used his flying skill, but this undoubtedly increased the probability of him being discovered. After all, the two of them, plus the three Icewing Dogs, flying in the sky would be too conspicuous. However, if he flew too high, the consumption of elemental power would be too great. Helpless, Su Yang could only return to the ground and proceed on foot.
Along the way, Jiuli kept recalling the previous scenes. She recalled Su Yang's state of mind at that time. She was very certain that Su Yang's mind was filled with killing. No matter who came, they would be killed. It was a kind of angry, revenge-like emotion, with no other thoughts at all.
Jiuli sighed inwardly, "Where exactly is the person Mr. Gu mentioned...? Perhaps I should leave as soon as possible."
She glanced at Su Yang, who was on his way, and activated her elemental power on her own. At the cost of 90% of her elemental power, combined with the elemental restrictions left by Gu Wushuang, she successfully broke away from Su Yang and floated into the air.
Just as Jiuli successfully escaped, Su Yang suddenly stopped in his tracks, standing still and staring blankly at the sky. Lin Anlan, puzzled, asked, "What's wrong, Su Yang? What are you looking at? Are enemies chasing us?" Then she looked around warily.
Su Yang sensed Jiu Li's departure, and the connection between the invisible ring and himself disappeared. However, he didn't know why Jiu Li wanted to leave him. Could it be that an X-level bracelet could detach itself after recognizing its master? After a moment of stunned silence, Su Yang came to his senses and smiled helplessly to himself, "Perhaps she felt that I was not a qualified master."
"Let's go, Anlan. It's nothing, let's continue." Su Yang didn't plan to tell Lin Anlan about Jiuli's departure, so as not to add to her worries. Although he couldn't use the Qi element for a while before he had the Qi element bracelet, fortunately there were other elements he could use.
The two continued their journey and finally arrived at a small town near nightfall. They found a small inn to rest temporarily. For safety reasons, and also because they were fleeing for their lives and had left in a hurry, they didn't have much money. So they only asked for one room. That night, Su Yang slept in a chair while Lin Anlan slept in the bed.
The first night passed peacefully, and the two continued their journey early the next morning. After a brief discussion the previous night, Lin Anlan suggested heading north first, leaving the Principality of Paisen from the border city of Kali in the north, entering the Lingluo Great Forest, and then making further plans.
The two traveled quickly, using flight when there were no people around and landing on foot when they were close to towns, trying to leave the territory of the Principality of Paison as soon as possible. Soon they arrived at the outskirts of Kali City, a major military town in the north.
After landing back on the ground, the two braved the cold wind and traversed the forest, heading towards Kali City. Su Yang planned to find a place along both sides of Kali City and fly directly out of the country to avoid entering the city and causing unnecessary trouble.
As the two were walking, a patrol of soldiers suddenly appeared from the side of the road. The two quickly lay down to hide themselves. Su Yang noticed that the armor of this patrol was clearly different from the previous patrols, and their equipment seemed to be more sophisticated. At this moment, these soldiers were questioning people on the road.
"What's your name?" a soldier asked, grabbing a passerby.
"I... my name is Sikai," the passerby replied hastily.
"Where are you from? Where do you live? Where is your pass?" A series of questions came out of the soldier's mouth.
The passerby named Sky answered stammeringly, and even took out his pass from his backpack and handed it to the soldier. After the soldier checked it, he let him go and went to check the next person.
"Looks like the troops here have also received orders and are probably hunting me and An Lan down," Su Yang thought to himself. Just then, another group of soldiers approached from a distance. He waved to them and called out, "Hey! Brothers, wanna have a drink?"
The soldier who was checking people turned around, then turned back to continue questioning them, replying, "Wait a moment, almost there." Seeing that there were no problems with the check, he let the passerby go and led his soldiers to join another group of soldiers.
The soldier who suggested drinking took out a wine bag, while the other soldiers took out a bronze-like wine cup from their pockets. Each of them took a cup of wine, clinked their glasses, and drank it down in one gulp, followed by a burst of laughter.
"Hey bro, here's the latest news. I heard the two guys we're looking for can fly too," the soldier pouring drinks shared the intelligence he'd received.
"What's so special about flying? There are plenty of people in the world who can fly."
“I’m worried about what if they fly over here? Look, we have the largest territory in the entire northern border, while the other garrison is only responsible for a small area. Any disturbance can be detected immediately. What if we fail to hold our position and those two manage to slip past?”
"Oh, don't worry. It seems your information is still incomplete. I saw it with my own eyes yesterday. The magic array group has filled the entire sky above our border with magic arrays, the purpose of which is to hinder flight skills."
"Really? Then all we have to do is hold the ground, that's really convenient!" the soldier pouring the wine said happily.
"I told you not to worry. There's a 90% chance those two will come here. Yesterday, some brothers from the Seventh Army passed by and told me that the other borders are already swarmed with people, including many high-level elementalists, all there to deal with those two fugitives. This place is actually a trap, so the brothers still have a chance to earn merit."
Su Yang listened to the soldiers' conversation and gleaned a lot of information. Overall, it seemed that they had made ample preparations along the northern border in order to capture him. Although he didn't know the power of the magic array the soldiers mentioned, he should try to avoid it if possible. As for the high-level elementalists in other places, he didn't know their strength.
After much thought, the most suitable way to cross the border is through the city of Kali. My disguise and mist concealment skills can be put to good use, allowing me to enter the city unnoticed and then sneak out.
That night, Su Yang and Lin Anlan found a tree hollow in a grove near Kali City, intending to spend the night there and try to enter the city the next day. As the night deepened, a rustling sound woke Su Yang. He immediately checked the detection radar and found a moving dot of light not far from him.
Su Yang immediately shook Lin Anlan awake and signaled her to be quiet. Then the two left the tree hole and approached the light. Only when they got close to the light did Su Yang realize that it was a woman shivering and walking slowly.
