Zhao Lin's heart sank. He had been so careful, taking a long detour, yet he had still run into these two bandit cultivators.
The terrain here was relatively flat and overgrown with shrubs, not an ideal spot for an ambush.
Clearly, the two of them knew he would be passing through here. One blocked the path ahead, and the other hid in a bamboo grove to cut him off.
'How did they find me? Are they fortune tellers or something?'
Zhao Lin was puzzled, but then he noticed a small, black-and-yellow bird perched on the bulge-eyed man's shoulder, and he instantly understood.
Using a Spiritual Bird for tracking was a common tactic. 'I was focused on movement on the ground and didn't pay any attention to the sky. I'll have to be more careful about that in the future.'
Zhao Lin didn't make a rash move. Using his Qi Observation Skill, he saw that the handsome cultivator was at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer, while the bulge-eyed man was even stronger, at the Qi Refining Eighth Layer.
