Being followed all the way here left no room for any explanation. Li Hongjiu, unable to answer the questioning, kept scanning his surroundings and bluffed, "It was Mr. Yu who sent me." The cloaked man immediately roared, "Bullshit!
If Mr. Yu sent you, would he have sent me to find you?" Hearing this, Li Hongjiu instantly knew his desperate probe had yielded an answer: Yu Yifu's people hadn't come. The problem now, however, was that these four Heaven Immortal experts had spread out in four directions, surrounding them.
With the enemies not concentrated in one spot, fighting would be troublesome. It had to be understood that the Heaven Immortal experts who came this time weren't ordinary cultivators who merely reached the Heaven Immortal Realm but lacked real combat strength. These were all dispatched by the Shanbu Prefecture Royal Court, and none of them were ordinary.
The reason Shi Chun had been able to take down five in one go earlier was purely an accident caused by sudden events, combined with their underestimation of the enemy. Zhu Xiangxin tilted his head and asked Li Hongjiu, "Brother Li, who are these people?" Li Hongjiu gave a bitter smile.
"For you, they come with ill intentions—enemies, not friends."
