Chapter 1742 (1/2)

Joining the Team</spoiler>

”That was incredible! That white-clad bladesman actually blocked Beiming Feng's sword strike!”

”Furthermore, the white-clad bladesman used only two fingers. Could he have hidden his strength?”

”This news will probably shake up the entire southern city. Someone used only two fingers to block a sword strike from Beiming Feng.”

”However, in the end, Beiming Feng chased him off.”

”In recent years, there have been many who broke the rules and died at Beiming Feng's hands. This white-clad bladesman is really lucky.”

There were many eyes in the southern city. The earlier sword strike caused a huge commotion, startling the surroundings.

Many people saw Xiao Chen catch Beiming Feng's sword, and they found it incredible.

As these people looked in the direction Xiao Chen took, discussions cropped up everywhere.

Only a few in the southern city would realize that Xiao Chen's Sharp Spirit Finger was actually very profound despite looking very simple.

It had not been as simple as just clamping his fingers together.

Unfortunately, there were not many experts in the southern city. If this were the northern city, the tricks behind the Sharp Spirit Finger would definitely be figured out.

Xiao Chen made his way out of the southern city, traveling at an average speed by leaping from rooftop to rooftop. He reached the division between the northern and southern cities only after one hour.

With Xiao Chen's speed, he still needed one hour to reach the division. This showed how large Dragon Flame City was.

Just as Xiao Chen landed, someone descended in front of him while panting. That person smiled and said, ”Friend, I finally caught up to you.”

Xiao Chen had noticed someone following him much earlier. Furthermore, there was more than one. However, he purposely did not try to shake them off.

He wanted to see what these people were up to. Now that someone appeared, it saved him some trouble.

”Speak. Why were you following me?” Xiao Chen asked directly.

That person wore gray clothes and was not very strong. He smiled and said, ”Friend, you want to go to the northern city, right? If you are going to the northern city, you must want to enter the depths of the Dragon Flame Ancient Land. You will need to find a team. I have the connections to introduce you to a strong team.”

Xiao Chen entered deep thought without any change in expression.

Leng Feng had said that exploring the interior of the Dragon Flame Ancient Land alone was suicide.

Xiao Chen had taken those words with a pinch of salt. Now that he heard similar words again, he started to believe them.

Perhaps it really was unsuitable to travel alone in the Dragon Flame Ancient Land.

”Young Master, there is no need to doubt my ident.i.ty. Every strong team has its spies in the southern city. As there are always people dying in experiential training, the teams always need people, especially strong experts. Young Master clearly meets the requirements. If you can pa.s.s the test, I will benefit as well.”

This person was rather straightforward, directly informing Xiao Chen of his intent.

Xiao Chen asked indifferently, ”What is your name?”

When this person heard Xiao Chen's tone, he felt that there was a chance, so he spoke happily.

”Just call me Gu Yun. Although I am not very strong, I have lived in this Dragon Flame City for ten-odd years and understand the various rules of this place.”

Everyone had their own means of survival. Some people were destined not to be talented or courageous, so they could only live like Gu Yun did.

No matter where it was, there would never be a lack of people who ran errands to earn resources.

Xiao Chen nodded and said, ”Lead the way.”

”Got it.”

Although Xiao Chen preferred moving alone, he was not opposed to being on a team.

About seven minutes later, Gu Yun brought Xiao Chen to a lavish courtyard.

”Gu Yun, are you here to introduce someone into the team again? Don't let it be like the last time, bringing trash over and becoming a laughing stock,” the stout man guarding the entrance said with a grin when he saw Gu Yun.

”How can that be? Absolutely not this time, absolutely not,” Gu Yun said while smiling.

Just as Xiao Chen raised his leg and was about to follow Gu Yun into the courtyard, the stout guard looked coldly at him and blocked him.

”You have to get my permission first before entering.”

”Boom!”

Right after the stout guard finished speaking, Xiao Chen's fist landed on the guard's chest.

Xiao Chen instantly unleashed five Cauldron Force. He knocked the stout guard into the courtyard like the latter was a small mountain, sending him cras.h.i.+ng into the ground.

Ignoring the shocked Gu Yun, Xiao Chen strode in.

The stout guard kept grunting in pain, sprawled on the ground inside the courtyard.

The cultivators living in the courtyard were all startled and appeared, one after another.

Xiao Chen took a rough look around. There was a total of one hundred-odd people, the weakest of whom was a Major Primal Core Venerate.

There were several experts with light sparkling in their eyes and astonis.h.i.+ng auras.

More importantly, Xiao Chen discovered some familiar people. There was the azure-clad Leng Feng and the masked bladesman that he saw at the southern city three months ago.
