Chapter 260 You are quite nice
Yun Fuzhao knew she couldn't escape anywhere; her spiritual energy hadn't fully recovered, and the others were exhausted.
Even a minor aristocratic family could easily control them, let alone the Shangguan family.
They were incredibly unlucky; it just so happened to be the Shangguan family.
Yun Fuzhao didn't dare to breathe loudly. The blankets covering the group concealed their presence, which is why Shangguan Yun couldn't detect them.
The invisible blanket was a treasure she redeemed with a lot of points.
As long as you hide down here, even a Mahayana cultivator won't be able to find you.
As expected, Shangguan Yun only stayed there for a short while, and finding nothing amiss, turned around to leave.
Yun Fuzhao breathed a sigh of relief.
In the current situation, it's best to avoid it if possible.
Hu Chengcai, who was crouching in the corner, quietly untied the rope while their attention was not on him.
He threw off the blanket and dashed out.
"They're here!"
Bu Xiu was furious and knocked the damned guy unconscious with a single punch. However, this loud shout drew the attention of all the Shangguan family disciples.
When Shangguan Yun turned around recently, he found nothing.
Yun Fuzhao's heart was in his throat. He wasn't afraid of god-like opponents, but he was afraid of pig-like teammates.
Hu Chengcai almost got them killed.
"What's going on?" a disciple asked in confusion. "We clearly heard a sound, but we didn't see anyone."
"Could they have used a stealth technique?"
"If they know this, they must come from a very powerful family. We'd better look for them carefully."
Shangguan Yun frowned, took out a bronze mirror from his storage bag, and looked at the surrounding scenery one by one.
Yun Fuzhao's heart pounded. After thinking for a moment, she patted the jade pendant in her hand and communicated with him telepathically.
He then dashed away at lightning speed.
"Susu-"
The sound from the bushes caught Shangguan Yun's attention. The others were about to give chase, but he stopped them, saying, "It's a diversionary tactic."
Yun Fuzhao's eyelids twitched. Had he actually predicted her?
"They're right here, keep searching."
After speaking, Shangguan Yun looked at the bronze mirror in his hand with a puzzled expression. How could an eighth-grade magic weapon not reflect anything?
Yun Fuzhao's anxiety eased slightly; now all she had to do was wait for them to leave.
However, she did not expect that the Shangguan family would stick with them and simply rest on the spot.
There were still at least five hours until dawn, which meant they would have to stay under the blankets for five hours.
The Shangguan family immediately started a fire and sat around it.
While other lower-ranking families tried every means to conceal their whereabouts, these families brazenly lit a fire, as if afraid others wouldn't know they were there.
His arrogance was practically written all over his face.
"Young Master, are you sure they're still there?"
Shangguan Yun stared calmly at the fire. "It's still there."
Seeing this, the others said nothing more.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Bian Luo tugged at Yun Fuzhao's sleeve, indicating the injury on her arm.
Yun Fuzhao then noticed that the gauze on his arm was stained red with blood again.
Without spiritual energy to aid him, injuries that used to heal completely in two or three days are now bleeding uncontrollably.
Just then, Shangguan Yun stood up again and walked straight toward them.
broken.
This time, Shangguan Yun squatted down, stretched out his hand, and hovered above Yun Fuzhao's head for a long time without moving.
The other disciples also gathered around, asking, "Is there anything unusual here?"
Shangguan Yun was silent for a moment, then said, "No."
The Jiji people hiding below breathed a sigh of relief.
"Shh-"
The blanket covering their heads was suddenly ripped off!
Shangguan Yun and Yun Fuzhao, who was squatting there, came face to face.
Yun Fuzhao extended his hand, "Hi?"
Shangguan Yun: "..."
The Shangguan family members were dumbfounded, but then they noticed the totems on their robes and couldn't help but laugh out loud. "What? After searching for so long, it turns out to be an unknown family."
"It's amazing that they haven't been eliminated yet."
Shangguan Yun stared at Yun Fuzhao, "How did you do that?"
He was mostly referring to things that were hiding right under his nose.
Yun Fuzhao: "I don't know, we just hid here to sleep."
She yawned. "We were sleeping soundly when you pulled off our blankets."
Shangguan Yun had a look on his face that said, "Do you think I'd believe that?"
Knowing he wouldn't tell the truth, Shangguan Yun didn't bother arguing with him anymore. She stood up and reached out her hand to him.
Yun Fuzhao placed her hand in his palm and helped him stand up. "You're actually a pretty nice person."
Three vertical lines slowly appeared on Shangguan Yun's forehead. He coldly shook off Yun Fuzhao's hand and spoke this time: "Heart Fire."
Yu Zhiyue shouted, "We will not give you our Heart Flame!"
“That’s right,” Xun Liu’s face flushed red, “We would rather die than give you our Heart Flame!”
Shangguan Yun raised an eyebrow, about to make a move, when he was stopped by Yun Fuzhao.
"Don't get excited, don't get excited," Yun Fuzhao said with a smile. "Let's talk this out. It's just heart fire, we'll give it to you."
Chang San: "Yun Chao..."
Yun Fuzhao raised his hand, "It's not easy for us to participate in this aristocratic family competition. It's not worth losing our lives for it. We can come again next time, right?"
The Shangguan family disciple nodded in satisfaction: "You're a very insightful kid."
"I just love dealing with smart people. It's a waste for someone with your brains to stay in an unknown family."
Shangguan Yun didn't say anything, and slowly withdrew his hand.
Yun Fuzhao turned his head and said to the people behind him, "Come on, everyone, hand over your Heart Flames."
Yu Zhiyue bit her lip, somewhat puzzled by Yun Chao's actions. If they handed over their Heart Flame, they would be expelled from the Sea of Illusion...
“Give it to me,” Yun Fuzhao said, looking at her. “Be a good girl.”
The group looked at each other, and in the end, they did as she said and gave her their inner fire.
Bu Xiuwei casually took the Heart Fire from the unconscious Hu Chengcai as well.
Yun Fuzhao handed the Heart Flame to Shangguan Yun, "Eight, you count them."
Shangguan Yun glanced at it, and the disciple behind him stepped forward and took the Heart Flame.
"Nothing else?"
Shangguan Yun asked.
Yun Fuzhao exclaimed, "Ah! Isn't one for each person?"
"Haha, young master, you overestimate them. What kind of Heart Flame could the Nameless Clan possibly snatch? They'd be in a tough spot just guarding their own."
"The only reason I've survived this long is because I've been able to hold on."
Shangguan Yun stared at Yun Fuzhao for a moment, but ultimately said nothing. He showed no sign of leaving.
"I'm really gone, you can search for me if you don't believe me."
Yun Fuzhao opened his arms wide.
"Young Master, let's not waste any more time here. It's almost dawn, and we must go find other noble families."
Shangguan Yun nodded, but his gaze remained fixed on the teleportation array. "Why isn't there a teleportation array?"
He was saying that after being eliminated, a teleportation array would be generated under the feet of the eliminated person.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a white light appeared beneath the feet of the nameless family disciple.
Yun Fuzhao smiled wryly, "I don't want to run into you again at the next aristocratic family competition."
Upon seeing the formation, Shangguan Yun set aside his concerns and turned to leave.
