Chapter 1471: Inducement

As soon as Long Kun issued his personal command, the cultivators of the Black Jue family surrounding them immediately retreated from sight, no longer daring to cause trouble.

Seeing the shadows disperse and vanish, Long Kun couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Satisfying, truly satisfying!" Long Kun exclaimed. "Boss, the way you just subdued those ignorant youngsters with your killing intent was truly delightful. I can't believe that even in a place like this, we're still bothered by the conflicts of family powers."

With his hands clasped behind his back, Xu Yang shook his head helplessly and sighed.

"The law of the jungle exists in every civilized era," Xu Yang began. "The rules set by the Black Jue family were not something I intended to break so easily. However, they truly pushed their luck. A profit-sharing ratio exceeding 40% is almost half of an external mercenary group's total earnings. Such a division is absolutely unreasonable, and even if we violate their rules, it's justifiable. As for their reaction, we don't need to concern ourselves with it.

"According to the map provided by Old Driver, we should now head west, moving deeper into the Kunlun Abyss. I expect the most powerful demonic beasts we'll encounter in these outer regions are Level 7. Only by continuing west, deeper into the Kunlun Abyss, can we encounter higher-level demon races. Those are our true targets, and doing so will also prevent us from being disturbed by the outposts of various families in these outer regions."

After Xu Yang finished speaking, his three teammates all nodded in agreement.

"No time to lose, let's leave immediately," he added.

As soon as he spoke, a brilliant Tai Chi totem rapidly appeared beneath Xu Yang's feet. After completing its spiritual positioning, the Guigu Qimen array carried the four of them, significantly boosting their speed. They advanced rapidly into the deeper parts of the Kunlun Abyss and soon vanished from their original spot.

Shortly after Xu Yang and his three companions left, the shadows reappeared in their original spot, accompanied by four young experts from the Black Jue family.

"Damn it, to be taught a lesson by these greenhorn bumpkins!" exclaimed the youth. "I really can't swallow this humiliation!"

The young man, who possessed lightning-attribute power and had been the first to be bound by Xu Yang's killing aura, spoke through clenched teeth.

"What can we do about it?" another young man retorted. "Their strength is simply too formidable. The leader who attacked us, his power is the most terrifying I've ever witnessed in my life. Don't forget, he didn't even use any substantial martial arts or cultivation power. He merely relied on the killing aura emanating from his body to exert a tangible soul-suppressing effect on four beings of our level. Someone with that kind of strength is simply beyond our imagination."

"So what do we do?" a red-haired girl beside him asked, unable to suppress her indignation. "Are the dignity of our Black Jue family and our status as the Twelve Vanguards simply going to be wantonly humiliated and trampled upon by that greenhorn mercenary group?"

The red-haired girl asked, clenching her teeth. Unbeknownst to them, she was the granddaughter of one of the Black Jue family's three grand elders, a pampered noble young lady. From childhood, few in Garan City dared to raise their voice at her; she had never experienced such humiliation. But today, Xu Yang, with his immense power, dealt her a truly devastating blow, leaving her unable to swallow her indignation.

The yellow-haired youth on the other side let out a cold snort.

"Little sister, why are you so agitated?" he said. "Don't forget, we've already found out that mercenary group's name: the Invincible Mercenary Group. As long as we return to the Mercenary Alliance first and report their violation to the elders, if we can alert the Elder Council, then no matter how much loot the Invincible Mercenary Group acquired this time, they will be sanctioned by the Elder Council!"

Predictably, these youngsters were set in their ways, still planning to leverage the power of their elders and families to confront Xu Yang and his companions.

"Heh, that's a good idea," said another. "Anyway, we absolutely cannot let this matter rest easily today. Let's go back and report the situation first. I'll make sure those four ignorant fools pay dearly for this!"

At the same time, Xu Yang and his companions had already flown thousands of miles away, completely unaware of the challenges awaiting them back in Garan City. Of course, the four of them were fearless. With their immense power, they had already weathered countless storms, and a few families from Garan City were simply not enough to pose a significant threat to Xu Yang.

At this moment, Xu Yang slowly reduced his pace, leading his three teammates to meticulously inspect the surrounding area. Sensing an incredibly dense killing aura emanating from the jungle ahead, Xu Yang instinctively realized that high-level demonic beasts must have recently fought there.

"Boss, the scent of blood here is incredibly strong," Ling Yao asked. "But I haven't detected any powerful aura fluctuations from high-level demonic beasts. What's going on? Could it be that they fought and then hid themselves?"

Ling Yao asked, while Xu Yang, however, revealed a slight smile.

"Don't forget," Xu Yang replied, "all the demonic beasts appearing here are high-level, above Level 7. Their intelligence is far superior to that of ordinary humans. How could they possibly show themselves so easily to become live targets for the four of us? As for how they concealed their auras, I can't say for certain right now. But I have plenty of ways to lure them out."

As soon as Xu Yang finished speaking, he gently waved his palm. A time-condensed Tai Chi totem slowly rotated, shielding the four of them with the power of universal laws. Then Xu Yang directly threw out the recently acquired corpse of the Hundred-Eyed Golden Bull-dog and used special means to make its blood aura even richer and more alluring.

Not long after, a powerful beast roar erupted seemingly from thin air.

"Hahaha, Boss, you're truly clever!" exclaimed a teammate. "You used the 'waiting for the rabbit' and 'luring the snake out of its hole' strategies. This way, those hidden beast race experts will reveal themselves, and we won't have to bother searching for their traces anymore!"

After all, this time Xu Yang and his companions directly used universal laws to conceal their auras, making it impossible for even high-level demonic beasts to discern their presence. They simply assumed Xu Yang and his companions had suddenly vanished. Faced with the fresh corpse of a Level 7 demonic beast like the Hundred-Eyed Golden Bull-dog as bait, how could they possibly resist such temptation so easily?

Instinctively, they began to reveal themselves. Suddenly, three powerful demonic beasts appeared simultaneously, rushing towards them from three different directions. Terrifying roars continuously erupted, and soon, three distinct roars intertwined.

Under the protection of the power of universal laws, Xu Yang and his companions could clearly see all the information and complete outlines of these three massive demonic beasts. According to the demonic beast encyclopedia left by Old Driver, Xu Yang and his companions immediately recognized their identities.

"My goodness, Boss," exclaimed one teammate, "among these three, there are two Level 7 demonic beasts and one Level 8! We're truly in for a rich harvest. Should we act immediately to take them down? I'm already eager to experience their power!"
