Chapter 1475 Greys Signature Move
Grey and Conor exchanged glances after he made that statement.
'Void, be ready to help out if there are any Sovereigns.' Grey didn't dare to take any chances.
Since he could sense that they were being followed, he knew they were people within his capabilities. As long as the people were too many for him, he didn't have any issues with taking on three to five Peak Venerables, but once there's over five or close to ten, no matter how great he was when it came to fighting against multiple opponents, he would find it difficult to defeat them.
'One of them is a Pseudo-Sovereign, the rest are just at the Peak. You'll be fine.' Void replied nonchalantly and went silent.
Grey couldn't help but shake his head at Void's usual nonchalance. Unless Grey was in danger, Void didn't like fighting much, especially when it wasn't against strong opponents.
"How many?" Conor asked.
"Five or so." Grey wasn't certain of the number, but he knew the people were more than three, he just couldn't get their accurate number.
The duo didn't act like they were aware of the presence of these people and continued their normal journey. They joked and laughed, and just as they turned around at the edge of the Upoya region, the stalkers stepped out.
There were six people altogether which was close to Grey's estimation.
One of them was in the Pseudo-Sovereign stage while the others were at the Peak of the Venerable Plane. Conor isn't capable of fighting against a Peak Venerable with his Mid stage cultivation level.

Grey observed the numbers and couldn't help but complain internally.
'If Void isn't so lazy he would've helped out.'
Void didn't have any plans of stepping out of the spatial storage to help, and fighting all six on his own was too difficult.
Grey thought about it carefully and said to Conor, "You have some Sovereign level talismans, correct?"
Conor nodded.
"Alright, on my signal, use it against me. And retreat as far as you can. I'll find you." Grey instructed.
He didn't want to get Conor involved in the fight, but he needed to at least take out one of the people from the start, and this was the best way to do that. As long as Conor used the talisman right, he should be able to kill the person he switches places with.
An Elemental Venerable can't defend against a Sovereign's attack, which was in favor of the duo at the moment. Coming from a top Family like the Dawson Family meant they would at least have one with them.
Grey spoke up, "Why are you following us?"
"Hehe, the brat from the Dawson Family. It's said you're very courageous. Looks like they didn't lie." The man in the Pseudo-
Sovereign Plane was the one who stepped forward from the group, he didn't even bother with Grey's questions, his eyes were placed on Grey's body.
"Actually, we're stuck in a dilemma. Should we capture you and hand you over to the Gnomes, which is very dangerous?" The man placed a finger on his chin before looking at his comrades, "Or… should we take him and demand a ransom from his father."
"The great Lucas Dawson, he's bound to have treasures that will be equivalent to whatever the Gnomes are offering."
Grey didn't show any reactions to his words, "You're here for me?"
"You're very hot in the market, everyone is out to get you. I didn't expect you to pass through our territory. It's only right that we take advantage of this opportunity." The man said with clasped hands.
"Now!" Grey wasn't interested in speaking any further. Since these people were after his life, there is no point in delaying. It wasn't like they were waiting for backup.
Conor reacted very quickly, sending a talisman at Grey.
When the man saw this, he thought Grey and Conor wanted to use the talisman to escape.
With a cold snort, he stretched out his hand and rushed towards them.
"Not under my watch."
His expression however, changed drastically when he realized that Grey's figure remained planted on the same spot, and just when the talisman was about to strike him, the figure changed to that of one of his men.
It came as a shock, and before he could react, a powerful attack struck the unsuspecting man. But that wasn't the only thing that happened. At the moment this attack struck the man, another powerful explosion rang out behind him. This one was more controlled which indicated that it was done by someone powerful.
Grey didn't have a need to waste his Faction Leader's talismans, at least not yet. With his fusion orb, he could deal a deadly blow to the other four Peak Venerables.
The Venerable he picked among them was the one he sensed was below on the Pseudo-Sovereign. He could sense that the rest recently just broke through to the Peak of the Venerable Plane, and it would make it easier for his attacks to be effective.
The Sovereign Plane talisman used on that man meant his death was almost guaranteed.
The Pseudo-Sovereign stood in the middle, motionless. He stayed in the same attacking stance as when he was about to stop Grey, but his facial expression didn't hold the same viciousness, rather, there was genuine shock.
The man in front of him was blasted to smithereens by the attack, and from the impact of the attack behind him, he didn't think all four Peak Venerables would survive. And the ones who would survive the attack will be seriously injured.
Grey was a vicious fighter, and the man just realized it.
'Could this be the reason they want him dead?'
This was the question that echoed in the man's head.
From the start of the encounter, Grey was already prepared to fight them. Not just that, but he acted in such a manner that there was no way the man could predict. No one would expect Grey to be the first to attack in such a situation. Unknown to the man, this was one of Grey's signature moves when battling multiple enemies.
