Outside Sunrise City.
Just as Yun Lang and the others were about to search for the demonic cult disciples, two young figures suddenly appeared before them.
It seemed that someone was already injured, as they were being supported as they walked.
Soon, their appearances were noticed, especially by Han Weiguo.
"They... aren't these Song Qiu He and He Guan Ying? How..." Han Weiguo hesitated.
He couldn't have imagined such a result, as the problem was apparent.
No one was unaware of their condition; if there had been an accident, it wouldn't be like this.
Ultimately, there would be greater difficulties, but for now, they had no solution.
"Hmph! Damned things, do you think this is how the outcome will be determined?"
Ultimately, they all had concerns, but no one knew how to cope.
After all, they were all in danger, yet no one could do anything.
"But..." Su Xin asked, bewildered.
However, Yun Lang already knew their intentions but didn't expose them. Instead, he slowly walked towards them.
"Everyone! How did you end up like this?"
They were all curious about the outcome that had appeared before them.
But there was nothing they could do, as everyone had different thoughts.
If they had known their intentions, their attitude would have been different.
So, they all walked over, as they still had troubles.
"Two senior brothers, did you encounter mountain bandits?"
Before Yun Lang could speak, Xie Qiye, who was beside him, suddenly stepped forward and declared.
They all understood the situation; if there was danger, it would be trouble for anyone.
But they understood even more that these were not the results they wanted to see.
After all, they were prepared; if there were problems, they would surely be in danger.
"I..." He Guan Ying was speechless.
He was so angry that he cursed Xie Qiye's entire ancestral lineage.
If they had encountered bandits, would they be in such a sorry state?
After all, their strength was not as bad as imagined.
If there was real danger, it certainly wouldn't be as they thought.
This was the clearest point.
Seeing this, they couldn't help but feel troubled, not even knowing how to proceed.
But even so, they had no choice, they were just unsure of how much danger there was.
"It's like this, after we parted ways with Su Xin and the others, we encountered demonic cult disciples."
"What!"
"Demonic cult disciples..."
Everyone was stunned.
Weren't they looking for demonic cult disciples? But from yesterday until now, they hadn't found any.
Now, to say that they encountered demonic cult disciples right after parting ways, and that even He Guan Ying was defeated.
If that were the case, how could the demonic cult disciples let them go so easily?
"Haha, it seems the two senior brothers were defeated by demonic cult disciples." Xie Qiye sneered.
Because their strength was well-known, ordinary demonic cult disciples wouldn't be able to defeat them.
If they could be defeated, they would surely be eliminated to avoid revealing their whereabouts.
Everyone present understood his meaning; it was undoubtedly a lie.
"What do you mean?" He Guan Ying said indignantly.
He had already been tricked into this state by Song Qiu He, and he certainly couldn't accept being slandered again.
If this were the case, more troubles would likely arise.
It couldn't help but make people worry; if there was real danger, it certainly wouldn't be as they wished.
Even when trouble arose, someone would still step forward.
"You've already been defeated by demonic cult disciples, do I need to be more direct?"
"Exactly, these demonic cult disciples are truly detestable!" Han Weiguo stated.
The situation was clear; if there were problems, it certainly wouldn't be as they thought.
But even so, they had no worries, because for now, they knew what preparations were needed.
If they were to defeat the opponent, any method would do.
"If you ask me, that guy who defeated He Guan Ying should be torn to pieces."
As he spoke, Xie Qiye glanced intentionally or unintentionally at Song Qiu He, who was beside him.
After all, it was this person who had defeated him.
If it weren't for him, things might not have been so simple.
After all, the situation was clear; demonic cult disciples wouldn't encounter them.
Since Su Xin and Han Weiguo had searched here, even hidden demonic cult disciples wouldn't have escaped their notice.
Yet, as soon as he left, demonic cult disciples suddenly appeared. Was that too coincidental?
Therefore, they all concluded in their hearts that the one who injured He Guan Ying must be the present Song Qiu He.
Otherwise, no matter the circumstances, it would be of no benefit to them.
Seeing this, it couldn't help but make them furious.
Especially for Song Qiu He, they all understood the situation; if it weren't for this, so many things wouldn't have happened.
But they had no choice, as they could still see it before them.
However, even so, they had no choice.
The opponent's strength was too formidable.
This made it impossible for them to defeat the opponent, no matter the circumstances.
Precisely because of this, they all began to worry.
"It's like this, we were careless and were ambushed by them."
"However, they didn't intend to fight; they focused on He Guan Ying and then fled. I was worried about He Guan Ying's injuries, so I didn't rush to pursue them."
"What!"
Upon hearing Song Qiu He's explanation, Xie Qiye almost burst out laughing.
He could actually tell such a lie; it was truly difficult for them to act here.
If that weren't the case, how could there be so many things?
Seeing this, it couldn't help but make people doubt their attitude.
If there were real problems, they would naturally come forward to solve them.
But unfortunately, things were not that simple.
When danger arose, someone would still step forward to deal with them.
"Didn't you intend to capture one alive?" Su Xin asked with a helpless expression.
He knew clearly that they were acting, but at the moment, there was nothing he could do to expose them.
"The situation was urgent, so I..." Song Qiu He explained.
In his heart, he kept cursing them, as he hadn't figured out how to respond.
But seeing them, they kept pressing him.
If this continued, it was likely that real problems would arise.
