But just as they started moving, seven of the experts on the floor which was a Peak nascent Soul stage expert tried blocked the entrance, with the intent to do something bad to the approaching group as they had the mischievous smiles cunning thief usually have when something to be looted was right in front of them…

Xiao Gui's didn't want to be the one to attack first, so he tried scaring them off with some bold claims instead…

"We are escorting Young Master Gu Ya's ladies to a location he just reported to my colleague here…" Xiao Gui pointed towards Bai Yi;

"Would you like me to tell him that you were the ones who delayed his enjoyment!?"

He asked with a deep frown, and though, all the experts within the inn were slightly deterred, one of the seven men in front of the entrance quashed their plans;

"I don't think Gu Ya can have a Beast Tamer amongst his men and the entire Land Of Stones won't know about it…"

"Furthermore, we know just how much Yu Min hates his guts; so if that is the case, as fellow friends of Gu Ya, we will surely make sure that no one comes close to his ladies not to even talk about stealing them…" The man said with a cunning smile;

"Xiao Gui, it seems they would only understand brute force…"

Princess Cui whispered with darkened expression; "If you know what is best for you, you will hand over the beast tamer, Yu Min and that scramble out of this place whilst you still can…"

The expert said once again as the rest of the experts in the inn began to stand up one after the other and Xiao Gui understood that if he didn't act now, they would most likely be pinned inside this inn once Gu Ya and his entourage of bloodthirsty experts returned, and based on the time frame Bai Yi gave them, they would most likely be here in the next 30 seconds max…

"Listen up, you are allowed to go all out!"

Xiao Gui blurted as the experts in this room braced themselves for battle as the atmosphere has gotten so intense that everyone were already in touch with their cultivation and only required a single untoward movement to have their techniques and arts exploding all over the place…

Xiao Gui stepped to the side as Princess Cui stepped forward to stand beside him stunning everyone within the inn, but before their minds could even process what was going on, two of the seven experts blocking their way already had their heads spinning through the air, with blood spurting on the faces of the stunned audience…

Then they looked over to the princess and noticed that she only had her index and middle finger joined together;

"S-s-saint Stage!?"

One of the spectators blurted in shock as Xiao Gui whipped out his sabre and as if not wanting to fall behind the princess; two more experts fell lifelessly to the ground with a single strike that was so fast the only thing most of the spectators saw was just an arc of Qi moving through the air…

"If you all want to get any sort of benefit from this, then I suggest you joins us now!"

The leader of the seven experts rallied more experts to their side as he whipped out a broad sword and launched himself towards Xiao Gui who seemed to have a cultivation base of a 7 Star Nascent Soul stage expert…

Xiao Gui looked at the incoming experts and the fact that remaining in this inn would mean they would be cornered, thus his first solution was to get out into the open, and as a result he chose the perfect technique for that;

"Blunt Force Slash!"

Xiao Gui slammed in sabre directly into the experts sword, and just before their attacks collided, Rin Chen and the rest used their Qi to cover their entire body whilst the princess touched Yu Min wrapping her within an extension of her own Qi;

Kiaaannngg!

A thunderous soundwave erupted within the inn, blasting into everyone who didn't know better sending all their minds into a perfectly befuddled state…

Those expert who were in the 2 Star Saint Stage or above were only momentarily stunned, but for the rest of them, some were bleeding from their ears, eyes and nostrils whilst more than half of the population were completely knocked out;

The walls of the inn were blasted away whilst the pillars holding the rest of the structure were already cracked halfway into their girth…

Xiao Gui and the rest of the group flew out of the inn as they moved out into the open but were rapidly surrounded by the rest of the experts who were mildly or not affected by the soundwave…

"Haha haha, escaping me after all you have done would be trying to find phoenix feathers in the dump!"

A voice bellowed from the distance with a furious laughter as Xiao Gui and co looked towards the source of the laughter and their expressions darkened even more…

"Damn… To think we would be this unlucky!"

Rin Chen's expression was awful as he stared at the amount of experts surrounding them…

They had two of the top ten Saint Stage experts here, and they were both in the 2 Star Saint Stage, then there were over 40 Peak Nascent Soul experts whilst the rest of the experts around were either unconscious or too weak to even walk…

But their group on the other hand only comprised of Princess Cui; a 2 Star Saint Stage exert who could handle one of the opposing Saint Stage expert, and Yu Min who could only delay the other Saint Stage expert for a while, whist Xiao Gui and Tong Tian could also delay two Peak Nascent Soul expert each…

But as for Rin Chen, Bai Yi, Pi Xi and Su San, they could only face a single Peak Nascent Soul experts each which means there are 32 other peak Nascent Soul experts for them to deal with;

"Slaughter them all and leave only the ladies… I will have all of them and then leave them to you all to take turns before dragging them all over the barren lands…"

Gu Ya didn't even bother to stand on ceremony before giving a killing order;

"Young master Gu Ya, there is a Beast Tamer amongst them and I lost four experts in the process of discovering him…"

The Peak Nascent Soul expert who had clashed with Xiao Gui earlier still had blood leaking from his four orifices as he pointed to Bai Yi whilst reporting to Gu Ya;

"Eh? Is that true?"

Gu Ya looked towards Bai Yi whose face had already darkened significantly before pointing towards him and giving the order;

"I want him first… Whoever gets him for me would receive a personal referral from me into my father's inner circle…"

Gu Ya promised as the eyes of all the experts present glazed over with greed;

Whoosh! Swoosh! Swish!

The experts bolted towards the group as Xiao Gui made contact with the attacking talisman in his spirit ring and prepared to use it, but just as he made contact with the talisman, a vice erupted from the distance;

"Slaughter whoever gets within 30 feet of master's friends!"

Boom! Boom!

Boom! Boom!

More than 20 Peak Nascent Soul powered fireballs bolted towards the incoming experts and before some of them could react, the fireballs menacingly exploded…

Ten of the Peak Nascent Soul experts from within the in all fell lifelessly on the ground as twenty some experts surged into the area and surrounded Xiao Gui's group from every angle as Teng spoke up;

"I am Teng; Master Hong's servant, which one of you is Xiao Gui?"

The entire group all found themselves having mixed feelings…

They were first stunned that Min Hong was able to settle within this land in less than three days and command as much as twenty Peak Nascent Soul experts, and they were also glad that he was still thinking of them despite him being on another mission himself;

"I am Xiao Gui, where is Fei Hong?"

"Master and his partner have a grand plan they are working on at the moment, and they have told us to come escort you back to our hideout…"

Teng spoke whilst staring at the thirty or so Peak Nascent Soul experts in his front…

"Gu Ya, there is no way you can win this one, and neither can you stop us all from escaping if we wanted to, so let us go and we can both forget this ever happened…"

Yu Min offered her solution to the problem, but Gu Ya simply laughed;

"Hehe he, no matter where father is within the Land of Stones, he can get to me in less than five minutes, and those of us here are more than capable of holding you back and delaying you for more than triple that time…"

Gu Ya spoke as he flicked his wrists and brought out some sort of mysterious treasure;

"If he gets here, all of you will be mine…"

He added as he activated the treasure which flew up into the clouds before exploding with myriad of bright colors which all came together to form the character; 'Diamond' high within the clouds…

Instantly, Xiao Gui's group saw their expressions darken as Yu Min also added;

"He is telling the truth, and we really need to leave now!"

"Does anyone have anything or any way to help us leave this place?"

Teng looked towards the men he came with as they all shook their heads sideways…

"What I am going to use might only buy us a window of about four minutes, and we have to make sure that we make it count, because should a 7 Star Saint Stage expert like Gu Ming chase us, we might never even make it to the hideout before he catches up with us…"

Xiao Gui whispered to the rest of the group as they all nodded towards one another…

Then Xiao Gui brought out the talisman, and instantly, all the experts from the inn, including Gu Ya and his men blanched in fear as they braced for an aggressive impact;

Toosh!

Xiao Gui activated the talisman with his Qi before blurting;

"Wrath of Vajra!"

Then the talisman took to the sky before it lit up in flames and totally burnt into ashes, and instantly;

Rip!

The sky split open…
