Joels, also known as the freckled old man, felt utter despair. He was incredibly unlucky, not only poisoned but also failing to keep track of Andre, and now he was being pursued by the Dark Council!
Indeed, he was running this way because of the divine-level experts over there, hoping to hold on a little longer. He had already sent out a distress signal, and perhaps there was still hope. As for the lives of the others, well, he was struggling to survive himself, how could he care about anyone else? Moreover, these youngsters letting Andre escape had put him in such an awkward predicament; this was their price to pay!
With that thought, Joels shouted, "Those who don't want to die, quickly come help!"
The two robed figures exchanged glances and burst into laughter. They were both late-stage divine-level experts. Joels was originally late-stage divine-level as well, but his strength had declined due to the poison. As for the one who had just entered the divine level, they scoffed!
One of the robed figures slowly descended and stopped before Li Er and the others, smiling. "He's asking you to help, aren't you going?"
Mei Lie's face turned grim. Late-stage divine-level! Damn it, even he couldn't win against them. Was this guy seeking death? I might not be able to beat you, but we have more than just a super divine-level expert; we have a big shot. Are you courting death!
"Mei Lie, go help him!" Li Er said with a smile.
Mei Lie nodded. Since the big shot had spoken, he would go. However, before leaving, he cast a pitying glance at the robed figure in front of him.
This look made the robed figure feel very confused. What was going on? Did he not know the meaning of a fist the size of a sandbag? What was with that look? Pitying me? Are you out of your mind?
So, the robed figure, as if possessed, asked, "Is he sick?"
Li Er nodded seriously. "Yes, he's a bit sick!" Always clinging to them without shame, wasn't that being sick?
The robed figure suddenly understood and nodded. "That makes sense!"
Then, he smiled at Li Er. "Kid, you're pretty good. Join our Dark Council, and I guarantee you'll live a life of luxury!"
At this, Asebu and the others' expressions changed. They looked at the robed figure as if he were an idiot. "Are you serious? Your judgment is terrible!"
Seeing the looks from Asebu and the others, the robed figure fell into self-doubt again. "What's going on? What's with these looks? Why do I feel like hitting someone?"
"Are all of you sick?" The robed figure couldn't hold back. "What's wrong with these guys!"
He couldn't be bothered to wait any longer and prepared to deal with the people in front of him. After all, their gazes were making him very unhappy!
However, just as he was about to make a move, he was terrified to discover that he couldn't move. Li Er no longer paid attention to him and looked up at the sky. With Mei Lie's arrival, Joels breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We still have a chance!"
He mainly wanted to boost Mei Lie's morale, to let him know he wasn't doomed!
Mei Lie didn't want to bother with him. What chance? He had plenty of chances!
The robed figure in the sky, seeing no movement below, said helplessly, "This guy is quite the player, not making a move yet!"
He then shouted, "Hurry up! We have to report back after this!"
With that, the robed figure held nothing back, unleashing fierce attacks. Soon, Joels spat blood and was sent flying, and Mei Lie was also hit. After all, he was a late-stage divine-level expert, not to be trifled with!
Just as the robed figure was about to kill them, Li Er said, "Spark, go grab him!"
Spark nodded and flew up. To the robed figure's astonishment, Spark slapped him to the ground with one palm. Spark disdainfully flicked his lips, glanced at Joels and Mei Lie, and snorted, "Weaklings!"
Mei Lie rolled his eyes and couldn't be bothered to speak. "You're strong, so whatever you say is right!"
Joels' eyes widened in horror. "This, this is a super divine-level expert?"
Then, Spark, holding the robed figure by the collar, approached Li Er with a fawning smile. "Boss, I've caught him. What should we do? Should we dismember him?"
Li Er casually beckoned, and the two figures automatically flew before Li Er. Li Er extended one hand, and soul-searching began.
Seeing their boss act directly, the two figures rolled their eyes and foamed at the mouth. Spark cowered his head.
In reality, this was because Li Er wasn't holding back, nor did he care to. It was completely different from how he dealt with the Elf Queen; otherwise, the Elf Queen would have ended up the same way.
Once Li Er knew everything about the two figures, he ignored them and said, "The Dark Council is on the edge of the abyss. That's good, as we were going to go there eventually anyway!"
At this moment, Joels flew over, looking at Li Er, speechless for a moment.
Seeing that Li Er was completely ignoring him and walking away, Spark and the others quickly followed. As for the two robed figures lying on the ground, no one cared.
Joels saw them leave like this. After a moment's thought, he went over and killed the two robed figures before following them. He opened his mouth and said, "Senior, senior, please assist our human race! Andre is a great disaster. Please lend your strength to subdue this villain!"
Li Er rolled his eyes. "Scram, I don't have time!"
Joels was unwilling to leave and just followed. He had finally encountered a big shot, so of course, he had to stick with him!
Seeing Joels shamelessly following, Spark grumbled, "Boss, I'll cripple that guy! How dare he trail us!"
Mei Lie's eyelids twitched. This sycophantic dragon couldn't be allowed to have his way. After all, there weren't many human experts. Regardless, Joels was a human divine-level expert, and he couldn't just be killed like this!
"Senior, he doesn't have any major ill intentions!" Mei Lie said against his will.
Asebu chuckled. "This Joels is quite wicked, actually. How could you say such a thing against your conscience?"
Li Er waved his hand indifferently. Let him follow if he wanted; it didn't matter anyway.
Seeing that his boss didn't care, Spark could only give up. He glared fiercely at Mei Lie, thinking, "This old man is causing trouble!"
And so, they traveled for several days, arriving at the edge of a town. This town was quite large, known as the foremost city on the border, which was BianSai City.
Just as Li Er and his group were about to enter, an elder in a magnificent magic robe walked over and said faintly, "Dragons are not allowed to enter our human city!"
Of course, he was speaking while looking at Spark. The elder was originally about to enter the city when he suddenly saw this group. Seeing the elves among them, he took a few more glances and then recognized Spark's true form, which is why he spoke directly.
