The direction the monster escaped was precisely where the three individuals were located. Once they saw the wounds on the monster's body, they would immediately suspect that someone was following them.
Baili Hongzhuang had intended to catch up with the monster and deal with it, but unfortunately, the monster was too fast. If she caught up, she would surely be discovered, which would be disastrous.
After realizing that they would definitely be discovered, Baili Hongzhuang had no choice but to quickly retreat.
Just as Baili Hongzhuang was retreating, unsurprisingly, the three individuals had already noticed the wounds on the monster's body.
After quickly subduing the monster, they discovered the wounds on its body and couldn't help but exclaim, "This sword wound clearly just appeared; it wasn't caused by us."
The leader's face instantly turned dark. "It seems my earlier judgment was correct. Someone is indeed following us!"
At this moment, not only the leader, but Second Brother and Third Brother also had extremely grim expressions.
They had been cautious throughout the journey, yet they still ended up being followed!
Looking at it this way, the tracking ability of the other party was truly extraordinary!
They had searched so many places these past few days and found no trace whatsoever. What kind of means did the other party possess?
"Who is tracking us? Show yourself now!" the leader coldly shouted.
The three of them couldn't help but feel a sense of fear. If it wasn't for this monster happening to run over, they would have likely led the other party directly to the Blood Essence Demon Fruit!
Baili Hongzhuang naturally couldn't reveal herself. No matter what, she couldn't let the other party discover her location. Once she was surrounded, it would be disastrous.
The other party was obviously furious to the extreme. Immediately, they rushed over, and Baili Hongzhuang kept searching for nearby hiding spots. Unlike the other party, she couldn't make too much noise, or else she would be discovered directly.
The leader, who was already very perceptive, quickly arrived at the spot where Baili Hongzhuang had fought with the monster earlier. His face had turned as cold as water.
In the next moment, based on Baili Hongzhuang's aura, the leader quickly caught up.
Seeing this, Baili Hongzhuang inwardly sighed, realizing that she could probably only hide in the Chaos Ring.
However, just as Baili Hongzhuang was preparing to hide, suddenly, a large hand grabbed her.
Baili Hongzhuang's heart trembled. Before she could even see who it was, she had already been pulled to the side and hidden in the tunnel.
The leader quickly arrived at the spot where Baili Hongzhuang had stood before, and then furrowed his brows.
"Damn it, this aura is the same as the one I felt three days ago. That person actually followed us for so long!"
"Leader, this person has been following us without revealing themselves. Their strength shouldn't be stronger than ours," Second Brother spoke up slowly.
"The other party probably wants to contact someone but is afraid of not finding us, so they've been following us, waiting for an opportunity to strike."
A wise light flickered in Third Brother's eyes. "If the other party's strength were strong enough, they wouldn't have let that monster escape just now."
The leader nodded. "The other party can't have left so quickly. Let's quickly find them. Once this news leaks, it will be troublesome!"
The Blood Essence Demon Fruit was a treasure that no cultivator would give up.
At this moment, the three of them couldn't help but feel regretful. If they had been more careful and not mentioned it earlier, they wouldn't be facing this problem now.
