On the other side, in the Galie family of Wutan City.
Obadoon was discussing the details of the ambush with Galiebi.
Suddenly, Obadoon asked Galiebi,
"Galiebi, what did you do at the Xiao family last night?"
Galiebi was shocked. There was a spy!
Last night, he took a small path to the Xiao family and left through the back door, just to be hidden. Unexpectedly, he was discovered.
Although Galiebi was a little surprised, he remained calm on the surface. In a moment of urgency, he immediately thought of an excuse.
Galiebi snorted coldly and took the initiative. "What do you think I went there for?"
Obadoon frowned, not knowing what Galiebi meant.
Seeing Obadoon's attitude, Galiebi knew what was going on and his confidence suddenly rose. He sneered.
"Do you think I'm as foolish as you? Since we're going to ambush Han Li,
we must be on guard against a counterattack from the Xiao family. I've placed an undercover agent in the Xiao family. When we take action, he'll buy us some time."
Aubattun suddenly realized what Galebbi said.
Galebbi observed Aubattun's expression from the corner of his eye, feeling a sigh of relief, but a flicker of contempt flashed in his eyes. "
You deserved to die, idiot!"
Thinking of this, Galebbi felt a little uneasy, hoping everything would go smoothly.
The Galeb family simply couldn't hold on any longer. Their only option was to surrender, and the Aubatt family was his token of loyalty!
...
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed, and Su Yun was on his way to the Xiao family.
Su Yun frowned, sensing something unusual.
His soul was naturally powerful, and with his Soul Technique skills, his perception had long surpassed that of a Grand Fighter by who knows how many times.
Along the way, many eyes, both overt and covert, were watching him!
Su Yun sneered and walked to a deserted corner. His figure gradually faded, his aura vanishing.
"Illusionary Art," a mid-level Xuan-level fighting skill, was a supporting technique. It
had two functions:
first, blending the body with the surrounding light and shadow, achieving invisibility;
second, concealing one's own aura.
Notably, this second function could be used to conceal one's own Dou Qi fluctuations, thereby disguising one's realm.
He had long used this technique to conceal his Dou Qi cultivation from Luo Qianchen, as a one-star Dou Master.
Others, like Xiao Zhan and Kuang Tang, had no idea of his level.
To them, Su Yun's aura was as calm as a lake, making it difficult to discern his true nature.
This fighting skill wasn't high-level, but it was incredibly useful.
He still remembered the description in the original novel: during the three-year agreement, Nalan Yanran relied solely on a single treasure to shield herself from detection.
Only when she removed the item did her two-star Grand Dou Master cultivation become apparent to the Dou Huang powerhouses.
His fighting technique can also achieve this effect, but it can't be used in public. If a fight breaks out, the fluctuations of his fighting spirit can't be concealed, making it easily exposed.
It's thanks to this fighting technique that he dared to appear at the Xiao family's house and prance around in front of Ling Ying.
Dou Huangs, while formidable, aren't necessarily as skilled at detecting.
This is also explained in the original novel.
What's the most powerful detection method on the Dou Qi Continent?
It's soul power. While the souls of Dou Huangs are more powerful than those of ordinary Dou warriors, they don't possess significant detection abilities.
Wearing the human skin mask provided by Ya Fei, Xiao Yan was able to face off against Jia Xingtian, a Nine-Star Dou Huang.
It was only because Fa Ma, a fifth-rank alchemist, relied on his powerful soul power to detect some of Xiao Yan's subtleties.
Therefore, it was natural for him to use this mask and the "Illusionary Art" to conceal his weakness in front of Ling Ying.
After all, Ling Ying's cultivation level was only at the level of an Eight-Star Dou Huang. As for soul power, although he came from an ancient clan, he wasn't a direct disciple of the clan. His status was low, and he wasn't qualified to practice the Soul Art.
After all, the Soul Art was extremely precious even to the Eight Ancient Clans.
Su Yun, concealing his presence, emerged from the corner and approached those who had been spying on him.
He activated the system's scanning function, revealing their identities at a glance.
They were all members of the Oba and Jialie families.
Su Yun raised an eyebrow, a chill in his heart.
Failing to win them over, he planned to resort to violence?
Ha, Su Yun sneered, no need to alert the enemy.
Su Yun reappeared in an alley not far from the Xiao residence.
He was indeed formidable, and it wouldn't be difficult for him to fight his way through the encirclement, but annihilating them all was impossible.
Since they dared to ambush him, they would surely pay the price!
Su Yun arrived at the Xiao residence's gate and was welcomed into the Xiao residence's hall by Xiao Zhan and the three Xiao elders, who had been waiting there.
Before Su Yun could speak, the Xiao elder spoke first.
"Master Han, something terrible is happening! We at the Xiao family have heard that the Oba family is plotting against you!"
Su Yun was surprised. The Xiao family had actually gotten the news in advance?
Xiao Zhan, a little furious, glared at the elder. The old man had been the first to claim credit for it from Master Han.
The elder, smug, wasn't afraid of Xiao Zhan.
He was a veteran and, like Xiao Zhan, a Grand Master, so he naturally wasn't afraid of him.
His actions this time also had his own agenda.
His eldest granddaughter, Xiao Yu, had recently broken through to the eighth level of Dou Qi. He wanted to emulate Xiao Zhan's earlier actions and obtain a Qi Gathering Powder for Xiao Yu!
The Great Elder was a discerning man. He knew that Su Yun had only previously refined the Qi Gathering Powder for Xiao Yan because he was Grandpa Xiao Lin's grandson.
Since he and Su Yun didn't have much of a relationship, he wanted to take this opportunity to build a good relationship with him for future plans.
Xiao Yu had only just broken through to the eighth level of Dou Qi, so there was no need to rush.
"Oh, I didn't expect the Xiao family to get the news too,"
Su Yun said, his expression surprised. But then his brow furrowed. The information wasn't even shared. What about the Jialie family?
Just as Su Yun was puzzled, Xiao Zhan and the Great Elder, seeking credit, took turns recounting all the information they had gathered.
After a while, Su Yun finally understood. He hadn't expected Jialie to be so tactful.
This saved him some trouble.
He had originally planned to unite with the Xiao family, the Mitel Auction House, and the Alchemist Guild to exterminate them.
Now that there was only one Oba family, the Xiao and Jialie families were enough, so there was no need to go to great lengths.
Su Yun nodded. Since the Xiao and Jialie families were willing, he would leave the matter to them, giving them a chance to show their skills.
As for the reward, it would only be a few pills. He happened to have some leftover Three-Striped Green Spirit Pills and Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pills.
Su Yun bowed, "In that case, I'll leave it to you."
