352: Investigation 352: Investigation “Well…I can’t say for sure~”
Accompanied by Qiong Ying’s words, the atmosphere in the scene seemed to tense up slightly.
But soon, Su Yuan smiled and said, “Earlier, you saw through my avatar, didn’t you?”
Qiong Ying was quite surprised. She did indeed notice that the one who appeared afterward was not Su Yuan’s real body.
However, she only showed a brief change in expression at that moment. She didn’t expect Su Yuan, who was dealing with Levinton and Trish, to catch that.
Seeing his reaction, Su Yuan knew he was right.
“Moreover, they didn’t release you from the Scattered Spirit Lock, not because they couldn’t open it, but because they didn’t want to.
And the reason they didn’t want to open it can only be because they found you troublesome, or more specifically…they were afraid of you, right?”
Qiong Ying’s eyes slightly narrowed as she looked at this Great Flame Country man, who was younger than herself, and suddenly laughed. “You’re not only strong, but your insight is also quite sharp…”
Su Yuan coldly snorted and said, “I know you’re not simple, but I hope that during the remaining journey, you behave as you did earlier. Otherwise…in special situations, we have the right to dispose of you!”
Su Yuan didn’t say these things just to bicker with Qiong Ying. He increasingly felt that Qiong Ying was not simple.
For the safety of the escort team, as well as Qiong Ying’s own safety, he found it necessary to give a friendly reminder.
Otherwise, following Xu Fengtian’s instructions, if the prisoner showed signs of threatening the convoy, they could eliminate him.
Perhaps because Su Yuan had just killed three people, Qiong Ying could sense a faint killing intent in his words.
It wasn’t a bluffing kind of intent but a genuine determination to act if necessary, a killing intent backed by real action.
Qiong Ying thought seriously for a moment, then smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I don’t plan to run away from you.”
Compared to emotional and moral regulations, personal safety was a stronger restraint for someone like Qiong Ying.
Su Yuan glanced at her and said, “That’s for the best.”
At that moment, a streak of lightning came from a distance, stopping instantly beside Su Yuan and Qiong Ying.
The lightning dissipated, transforming into Lin Chongyun.
“What’s going on?” Lin Chongyun hurriedly asked.
“Someone tried to rob the prisoner.”
Lin Chongyun looked around. “Where are they?”
Su Yuan replied, “They’ve been killed.”
Lin Chongyun froze for a moment, glanced at Su Yuan, and then looked at Qiong Ying, who was composed. Indeed, she was the missing prisoner.
Swiftly, he surveyed the surroundings, moving like thunder through the scene, closely examining it.
The battle had just ended not long ago. Lin Chongyun quickly sensed some lingering auras and Star Power fluctuations in the vicinity.
“Four auras, one of them is Su Yuan. And these lingering auras don’t seem weak…”
Lin Chongyun’s expression tightened. Turning his head to look at Su Yuan, he flashed with lightning and returned to Su Yuan’s side.
Lin Chongyun nodded. “Indeed, there was a battle. We really owe you this time.”
Su Yuan smiled. “How are the others?”
“Not awake yet. After I woke up and saw the engravings on the ground, I hurried west along the river.”
Without external interference, resistance to illusions mainly depended on personal will and spiritual talent.
Su Yuan nodded. “Let’s head back first.”
“Okay!”
Su Yuan and Lin Chongyun brought Qiong Ying back to the shore.
At this moment, Tang Jiao just woke up as well.
“What happened?” Tang Jiao exclaimed, quickly asking the two.
Lin Chongyun looked at Su Yuan, who explained, “Someone tried to rob the prisoner, but it’s been dealt with.”
“Rob the prisoner?”
Tang Jiao looked at Qiong Ying, who had consciously returned to the Solid Rock Cage on the back of the Solid Rock Dragon. Lin Chongyun went up to carefully inspect it.
Su Yuan said, “Let’s wait until everyone wakes up to explain.”
Tang Jiao looked at the unconscious people around and pondered for a moment. “I’ll try.”
Tang Jiao raised her hand, forming seals. Dark light surged around her, directly extending the Dark Domain to encompass everyone.
Su Yuan and Lin Chongyun also found their vision suddenly darkened. They couldn’t see their hands in front of their faces. There was no light at all.
“Dark Domain Erosion!”
Streaks of black energy emerged from the Dark Domain, heading toward everyone who hadn’t woken up.
Although they didn’t rush toward Su Yuan and Lin Chongyun,
the two scrutinized and discovered that it seemed to be a kind of spiritual energy that could evoke fear, essentially a spiritual attack.
The power was controlled to be limited, roughly just enough to frighten.
