"Why don't call out your companion over there" Lestes said Lin Yan to call out his people, who were hiding, while pointing in a certain direction.
Lin Yan Was taken aback, until now, he didn't mention his people because he still was worried about Lestes, after all, Lestes fought alone with a horde of more than a hundred demon beasts, and was unscratched, and his face was just a bit pale. If it was him, in place of Lestes, and he had to fight with such a horde of beasts then he would be injured and there is a chance that injuries may be serious but Lestes was safe, he didn't even get a single scratch. What shocked him even more was the direction he pointed, it was the same direction, in which his people were hiding.
'since he could sense them. Even I can't sense them. His divine sense must be too powerful and his battle power is also extraordinary, fought alone with the horde of more than a hundred demon beasts. What a scary enemy! Can't be left alive, no matter what, regardless of price he must be killed otherwise he might become a problem in future' Lin Yan made up his mind to kill Lestes at all costs.
"Come out." Lin Yan called them. Since Lestes already know their position than sneak attack won't work, so it's better to attack openly.
"Come out" Lestes also called Ning Waner and others. They walked out of the formation and stood beside Lestes.
Lin Yan saw Ning Waner and others he was taken aback. He felt their aura, an uneasiness appeared in his heart.
'although all appear to be in the eighth stage of the Qi Condensing realm, something is off about them, especially that middle women' Lin Yan muttered. He became cautious, especially when looked at the middle woman, Ling Xing Yue. He had experienced many battles and fought many enemies, he could tell that something was about her but didn't understand what was it.
"Where are the treasures, show at least I should know if this fight would be worth it or not" Lin Yan wanted to see the treasures so that he could decide whether this fight was worth it or not, if the treasure was not exceptional then, it wasn't much attraction to him, only exceptional treasure was worth his time.
"Hahaha," Lestes chuckled. He looked at Lin Yan and asked "You wanna see the treasures,"
"yes!" Lin Yan said.
"These are the treasures" Lestes said while pointing at Ning Waner and others.
"Looks like treasures were exceptional, since you don't want to show it" Lin Yan didn't understand he thought that treasures must be exceptional which was why Lestes didn't show them.
"They are the treasures," Lestes said he signed and added "doesn't matter if you don't believe me"
"Whether you are telling the truth or not, I will know after killing you" Lin Yan sneered. People behind him branded their weapons, ready for battle. So did Ning Waner and others.
Lin Yan's side had a total of eight people, Lin Yan a foundation realm, and seven other's, one was the assassin, whose cultivation was sealed, Lin Yan tried to open the seal briefly but failed to unseal him. Of the other six, two were seventh stage, two eighth stage and the remaining two were six stage of the Qi Condensing realm.
The atmosphere tensed, both side drowned their weapons and were ready to battle.
"Excuse me" Lestes took a few steps back and said to Ning Waner and others "You will fight them, I won't participate"
Ning Waner and other's faces darkened all three of them looked at Lestes with questions.
'You want us to fight a group of powerful enemies on our own. Their number is greater than ours and what's more one of them is the foundation realm. You want us to die, if that's the case you could just kill us earlier' they said to Lestes but in their heart not out loud. They remembered Lestes was their master now, they couldn't be rude to him.
Lestes signed when he heard them, although they didn't say out loud but Lestes could hear their thought through the slave seal. And remind them "I am tired, I had a battle earlier" he pointed at the corpse on the ground.
Their face returned to normal, they remembered when they came out there was a stench of blood and the corpse.
Lestes stepped back inside formation and sat down.
Lin Yan's group was at ease, they had seen Lestes battle with the demon beasts horde, and they were in shock, fear still lingers in their heart of Lestes's sword except Lin Yan, he came letter, as people standing behind had sent a request for help before they attack, in case a miss-up happened.
"What a coward you are? You are hiding from battle. Hahaha" Lin Yan chuckled "Even if you want to hide, at least find a decent tree, hiding behind weak in strength and fragile as flower girls, they won't last more than ten rounds" he ridiculed Ning Waner and others calling them weak in strength and fragile as a flower. His companion also laughed out loud.
Lestes ignored them, he looked at Ning Waner and the others, They were angry. He wanted to know how would they handle this mind game.
"Who are you calling weak? Look how I beat you until you begged for mercy" Ning sought and griped her sword stepping forward to battle Lin Yan,
Lin Yan's lips corner up 'Someone took the bait'
"Stop" Ling Xing Yue stopped her.
Ning Waner was shocked and said "Master Let me go, I will teach them a lesson that they will never forget in their life"
"Yes lord Teach them a lesson, how dare they call us weak and fragile" Xiao Linger agreed with Ning Waner.
"Calm down, they are trying to make you angry and make mistakes, they know that we are not weak and this battle will be tough. So they are playing a psychology game." Ling Xing Yue asked Ning Waner and Xiao Linger to calm down. As city Lord, she had experienced many things. Occasionally, she had to deal with various situations in the city. With her experience, she understood Lin Yan's game and broke it.
Ning Waner and Xiao Linger calmed down and thought about it. They are experienced in battle and initially had foundation realm cultivation, though for now, they are just the eighth stage of the Qi Condensing realm. And also Yin-yang fusion art and Lestes's Yang Qi had brought many changes to them. Facing enemies of higher cultivation they could fight equally, what more in Lin Yan's group some were weaker than them.
"Thank you, master"
"Thank you, lord"
Ning Waner backed down.
Lin Yan sneered watching Ning Waner back down. 'Didn't work, no problem'. he glanced at Lestes.
Lestes signed in relief when he saw Ling Xing Yue control Ning Waner and Xiao Linger. He looked the other side to Lin Yan and others.
Their eyes met, Lestes smiled and closed his eyes to begin to mediate to recover his spiritual qi.
"Ning Waner and Xiao Linger, you will hold three each. Hold them if you can kill them then kill them as soon as possible and add to others. I will fight with that guy with foundation realm cultivation" Ling Xing Yue arranged, she griped her spare and jumped to battle.
On the other side, Lin Yan also jumped to face her and others also chose an opponent.
