The Yuan Ling Mage, upon seeing the sorry state of the three, couldn't help but express some astonishment as he stepped forward and asked, "What happened here? What's going on? Where's that little runt?"
The three of them coughed lightly twice and said, "That boy is really sly. Just when we thought we had him, he managed to slip away every time."
"Hm? He got away?" The Yuan Ling Mage felt it strange; with their combined strength, how could it be possible for them to let Li Xiaoyao escape?
Li Tu of the Li Family, seeing the disheveled state of the three from afar, couldn't help but burst into laughter and loudly asked, "Elders, may I inquire, what's with all these injuries? Don't tell me you weren't looking where you were going and ran into a tree, eh?"
"Hmph, I just encountered a powerful Demon Beast, and its Cultivation Level was at least at the Spirit Condensation Realm. Our injuries were incurred while dealing with that beast," Zhou Lu forcibly explained.
