After waiting for a while, the number of people arriving beca sparse, dwindling further.
Su Que glanced around the area and noticed there were about eighty people in the forest.
According to his sensing power, these people possessed a variety of martial arts cultivation levels.
The most common were martial artists in the Qi Blood Realm, about forty of them.
Su Que thought to himself that these Qi Blood Realm martial artists were mostly cannon fodder.
However, it was also possible that so Qi Blood Realm martial artists, like him, were concealing their true strength.
But the likelihood was minimal, given that his spirit had beco extrely strong after cultivating the Celestial Deford Foot, Sunflower Manual, and Demon Saber, skills known to cause qigong deviation and have side effects on ntal clarity.
This made his sensing power exceptionally keen.
If soone reduced their strength to the Qi Blood Realm yet remained undetectable to him, it ant that person was much stronger than he was.
He didn’t rule out the possibility that among these forty people, one might be like that.
Aside from the forty or so martial artists he detected as being in the Qi Blood Realm, there were about thirty others in the ridian Opening Realm.
He mused that if this were in Jiannan Prefecture, there would only be thirty martial artists in the ridian Opening Realm in the entire prefecture.
Furthermore, these thirty ridian Opening Realm martial artists could hardly gather simultaneously in the sa location.
Yet in the Central Plains, these thirty martial artists in the ridian Opening Realm were now gathered here like this.
Moreover, he sensed that the martial arts cultivation of these thirty ridian Opening Realm martial artists was overall higher than those in Jiannan Prefecture.
This showed that the training resources in the Central Plains were indeed richer than in the Southern Domain, able to foster more and stronger martial artists.
’The Central Plains are truly a treasure trove...’ Su Que sighed inwardly.
Then, he turned his attention to the three Gang Condensing Realm martial artists.
These three were all dressed in martial attire.
One wore a theatrical mask and had two short spears with white tassels hanging at his waist.
Another had his face covered with a black cloth and a curved saber tied at his waist.
The last person’s face was tightly wrapped in burlap, leaving only his eyes exposed, and wore iron gauntlets that glinted coldly.
Su Que, with his sharp spiritual sense, detected that the cultivation of these three Gang Condensing Realm martial artists was inferior to his own.
After this, no more people arrived.
’The appointed ti should be nearly upon us,’
Su Que thought, casting his gaze throughout the forest.
Clearly, the leader of the Hunting Dragon Alliance had yet to arrive.
Those three Gang Condensing Realm martial artists were weaker than him and could absolutely not be the leader.
If that were indeed the case, he would leave without hesitation to return to the inn for sleep.
Just then, three figures swept over from the side of the forest to this area.
Their clothes fluttered in the wind, making a rustling sound.
The mont people saw the three figures, the next instant, their eyes blurred, and these three figures stood at the center of the crowd.
Witnessing this body technique, the eyes of the other martial artists present revealed stunning gleams.
Su Que’s gaze silently crossed the crowd, landing on these three figures.
One of them wore a black cloak and a bamboo conical hat.
This person’s lightweight skill was the best among the three.
When this person flew over just now, he seed like a ghost, floating with the cloak, his body technique extraordinarily nimble.
Additionally, as Su Que gazed at this person, he felt a faint stabbing pain at his brow.
He knew this was a danger signal sent by his spiritual sense.
He felt that this person’s cultivation must be above the Gang Condensing Realm.
Standing on either side of this person were two others dressed in martial attire.
One wore a red theatrical mask and had a rather long single saber at his waist.
Another wore a black theatrical mask but carried no weapons, likely proficient in hand techniques.
Su Que sensed the strength of the red face and black face, finding that their martial arts cultivation was considerable.
The black face had already reached the peak of the Gang Condensing Realm, while the red face had ascended beyond it, yet the pressure on his spiritual sense was still weaker than from the person in the cloak.
These two were standing beside the person wearing the black cloak and bamboo conical hat.
Even without sensing the martial arts cultivation of the three, just by observing their positions, one could infer that the person wearing the black cloak and bamboo conical hat was likely the initiator of the Hunting Dragon Alliance.
Sure enough, the next mont, the person in the black cloak spoke.
"The one who has gathered you all here is none other than ."
"I believe many of you do not want others to know your identities, nor do I."
"For ease of operation, you may call ’Old Mountain Cat’."
The crowd could hear when ’Old Mountain Cat’ spoke, the voice did not co from his mouth but from his belly, sounding muffled.
This ventriloquism was another way to conceal one’s voice while speaking.
After introducing himself, Old Mountain Cat began introducing the two beside him.
He pointed to the person wearing the red theatrical mask, with a long single saber at his waist, "This is ’One Cut Red’."
Then, he pointed to the person wearing the black theatrical mask beside him, "This is ’Hei Jianglong’."
After the introductions, Old Mountain Cat addressed the crowd, "I received word that two hours ago, the Wu Family Patriarch left the Wu Family and will likely not return for a day or two."
"Currently, the Wu Family has only two martial artists in the Divine Realm remaining as guardians."
"One is the Wu Family Patriarch’s brother, Wu Hengtong, and the other is the Patriarch’s second son, Wu Sheng."
"These two will be handled by myself and ’One Cut Red’, while the rest of you will proceed to the Wu Family’s Qilin Cave to release the Qilin."
