“Why are you here?” Xiang Shaoyun asked.
“I doubt you will find them without me,” replied Ouyang Chuanqi nonchalantly.
Of course, Xiang Shaoyun did not believe that. He looked at Ouyang Chuanqi and said, “Are you planning to work with the Di Alliance and deal with me?”
“Haha! Do I need to work with them if I want to deal with you? You’re underestimating me!” said Ouyang Chuanqi with a look of disdain on his face.
“Why are you so kind, then? I find it hard to believe,” said Xiang Shaoyun.
“Looks like kind gestures are really unpopular these days,” Ouyang Chuanqi joked. “I am merely curious as to whether you can break that Spatial Suppression Diagram.”
“Spatial Suppression Diagram?” Xiang Shaoyun asked.
“It is Elder Situ’s treasure—he is a previous generation elder from the academy. The diagram is capable of sealing space and confining anyone inside it. That is how your brothers were trapped,” said Ouyang Chuanqi. “But I doubt it is the actual Spatial Suppression Diagram. Perhaps it’s only a counterfeit. Even so, it is still powerful enough to trouble even Emperors.”
Xiang Shaoyun had gratitude in his eyes as he said, “Thank you.”
He was now sure that Ouyang Chuanqi did not have any malice toward him. In fact, Ouyang Chuanqi was trying to help him. Otherwise, why would he bother telling him all that?
“You don’t need to thank me. I’m only here because I really want to see if you can escape the Spatial Suppression Diagram. If you can’t, then you won’t be a worthy rival to have,” said Ouyang Chuanqi.
Although Ouyang Chuanqi had taken the initiative to retreat back at the Devil Domain, the two had never actually fought each other before. Now, his strength had grown rapidly, and he had numerous trump cards at his disposal. Although Xiang Shaoyun had grown as well, he was confident the defeat would not be one-sided if they did fight now.
Xiang Shaoyun did not say anything else and rushed at top speed. Soon, they arrived and found some Di Alliance people standing guard.
“Xiang Shaoyun is here!” someone cried out.
With that shout, the people from the Di Alliance all looked over at Xiang Shaoyun.
Xiang Shaoyun charged forth alone and shouted, “I, Xiang Shaoyun, am here. Release my brothers!”
He could sense his subordinates behind these Di Alliance members. They were currently confined by a certain diagram. The diagram was hexagonal. It enveloped the sky, emanating strands of sealing power that enveloped the world below, sealing the space around the Overlord Legion’s people. No matter how they struggled, they were unable to break free.
Fortunately, they had not suffered many injuries. The morale, however, was low. Evidently, they had lost their spirit.
It’s good as long as they are still alive, Xiang Shaoyun heaved a breath of relief.
If these members were all trapped and killed, he would not be able to forgive himself. From the Di Alliance’s side, Di Lin stepped forth gracefully. Flanking him were two beauties, Xia Yunxi to his right and Situ Yan to his left. It was as if a distinguished playboy had ascended the stage.
His gaze landed on Xiang Shaoyun, rage rising within him. “Xiang Shaoyun, you’re finally here. If you were any slower, your subordinates would have all died because of you.”
“Is that so? If you really dare to kill them, the academy will be the first to punish you,” said Xiang Shaoyun.
“Hmph. You murdered my elder brother. What is there for me to fear?” Di Lin snorted.
“Cut the nonsense. What do you want to do? Bring it on. Let’s settle this once and for all,” said Xiang Shaoyun impatiently.
“Splendid. I want your life. You may trade your own life for their lives,” said Di Lin with a vicious look on his face.
He had been praying for Xiang Shaoyun’s death for years. To eliminate weeds, one needed to include the roots to be safe. And yet, Xiang Shaoyun was like an undying cockroach that refused to die despite the many experts sent to kill him. Additionally, those sent to kill him had all gone missing.
Di Lin was unhappy with this result. Today, he wanted to make sure Xiang Shaoyun wouldn’t leave this restricted space alive.
“If you want to kill me, come. Let’s see which of us will die first,” said Xiang Shaoyun calmly as he beckoned at Di Lin.
He could sense that Di Lin’s combat prowess was lower than even An Lulu’s. It wouldn’t be hard for him to kill Di Lin here. It was a pity that Di Lin was too cowardly. He had several people standing before him. If it wasn’t for that, the first thing Xiang Shaoyun would have done after arriving was to rush forth and capture him.
“Do you really think I will fight you alone? Everyone, kill him!” Di Lin commanded.
At his command, the Di Alliance moved together, sending a barrage of attacks toward Xiang Shaoyun. A massive bombardment covered the sky. No Emperor should be able to resist something like this.
Xiang Shaoyun turned into a gust of wind and quickly left the range of the attacks. He then took a detour around the Di Alliance and tried heading toward his subordinates. At this moment, the Overlord Legion finally noticed the commotion outside. They started stirring.
“The overlord is here to save us! I knew he wouldn’t give up on us!” someone exclaimed in joy.
“But what can the overlord do? This diagram is too scary. It is capable of sealing space! Not even the force fields here can do anything to it. Can the overlord really save us?”
“After I’m free, I’ll make sure to beat those Di Alliance people up!”
…
Di Lin noticed what Xiang Shaoyun was doing. He frowned and said, “Xiang Shaoyun, if you continue fleeing, I will activate the Spatial Suppression Diagram and kill the people from the Overlord Legion!”
“Hehe, you want to kill me, so I’m supposed to just die? If you really dare to kill my brothers, I will make sure to spread this in the academy before informing the sects and clans my brothers come from. Let me see how you can survive the coming revenge then,” said Xiang Shaoyun with a demonic smile on his face.
He had fully exposed Di Lin’s weakness. For a moment, Di Lin was completely speechless. Although he had outstanding talent, the Ziling Sect was only a tier-7 organization. Before he completed his growth, the Ziling Sect would not be able to resist all those organizations’ attacks.
That was why he had not killed the Overlord Legion members. If he had done so, not even his master, a previous generation elder, would be able to shoulder the blame for him.
“Xiang Shaoyun, don’t get cocky. If you don’t save them, they will remain trapped here because of you. Ultimately, they will still die. I am giving you a chance to save them. You can step inside in exchange for their freedom. Otherwise, we might as well suffer together!” threatened Situ Yan, who was standing beside Di Lin.
