I Am Overlord

perly latch on to Xiang Shaoyun since it would benefit him.

This time, Xiang Shaoyun had Money remain outside the astral cosmos sea.
He did not wish to see Money lose his combat awareness, becoming a snake that only knew how to grow his cultivation level but not fight.
Money needed to recover some of his bestial nature, which would be beneficial for his future growth.

Soon, after traveling a distance from the academy, the group started encountering the attacks of demonic beasts.
Fortunately, they were able to easily deal with the demonic beasts of this level and did not suffer much damage.

With one of Shou Xie ’s Demon Emperors leading the way, the group continued deeper into the mountain range.
The Demon Emperor was actually a mouse, one with a treasure hunting ability.
It possessed a partial bloodline of the bejeweled treasure mouse, known as the treasure seeking mouse.

If it was an actual bejeweled treasure mouse instead, it would be a very big deal.
The bejeweled treasure mouse was an extraordinary breed of mice, capable of seeking treasures in addition to some other inconceivable abilities.
This treasure seeking mouse had inherited the treasure seeking ability of the bejeweled treasure mice and was also a considerably rare breed of mice.

This mouse was why Shou Xie knew the rough location of the dragon liquid.
But since the dangers at the location were too much for him to handle, he had no choice but to share the possible harvest with others.

After a while of traveling, Xiang Shaoyun suddenly had a bad premonition, one that originated from a different source of danger, not from the beasts inhabiting the mountain range.
He immediately spread the senses of his Nether Soul Domain to scan his surroundings.

Soon, he found that two groups of people were tailing them from two different directions.
Both of them were groups of considerable strength as well.
In fact, they possessed a strength beyond what mere disciples of the academy should possess.

Among them were peak Emperors and even a Sovereign.
Xiang Shaoyun was astonished to learn that someone of that strength was actually tailing his group.
He wasn ’t stupid enough to believe that they were there to protect them secretly.
And he was also sure that they were not there for Shou Xie and the others.
Thus, it was more believable that they were there for him.

Apart from Di Lin and Huo Xudong, I can ’t think of anyone who hates me more than them in the academy.
They had definitely sent these people after me.
They are probably afraid of making a move here because we are still not too far from the academy and they don ’t want to attract the attention of the elders.
When we travel farther away, they will definitely attack.
The nether prison devil puppet won ’t be able to effectively stop them either.
After all, they know me quite well.
What should I do? Xiang Shaoyun sank into conflict.

He did not wish to see harm falling onto his companions just because of him.
But how was he supposed to tell them about this?

”Young Master Xiang, why have you stopped moving? ” Shou Xie asked when he saw Xiang Shaoyun stop.

Xiang Shaoyun hesitated slightly before saying, ”Nothing.
I have suddenly thought of something urgent I need to deal with, so I might not be able to complete the mission with you guys anymore. ”

His words astonished Tang Longfei, Shou Xie, and the others.
None of them had expected that Xiang Shaoyun would suddenly withdraw from the mission.

”Are you sure, Young master Xiang? ” Shou Xie asked.

”My apologies.
You guys should move ahead without me, ” said Xiang Shaoyun apologetically.

”Xiang Shaoyun, are you playing a joke on us? ” Li Haonan could no longer hold in his temper.
