Chapter 221 Immortalss League (1/2)

Xiao Chen agreed with the idea. There was so much unrest lately that it wasn't smart to roam around. Moreover, since he had a lot of questions for Fengxi, it was nice to take shelter at the Xianyong Sect. He looked at Xiaoyue and said, ”Fairy Xiaoyue, why are you here in the Middle Continent?”

Xiaoyue showed no emotion turbulence on her face as she said flatly, ”I'll come for you in a few days.” With that said, she turned into a sword radiance and tore through the sky.

Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes. This woman was deeply mysterious. She must have some grand purpose in coming to the Middle Continent. Moreover, her powers today had exceeded the norm. She seemed to have seen this battle coming.

Moments later, Fengxi, the two Elders, the twenty to thirty Xianyong Sect disciples, and the rest climbed onto a flying cloud and journeyed back to their sect.

Meanwhile, two people were slowly walking down a road in another place. They were none other than the cloaked man and the enchanting woman.

”My assumption was correct. That man left his last trick with Bai Susu. He had truly betrayed our clan. To think that he left three magic powers with her; did he do that to subdue me in the future?”

”What should we do now?”

”No need to be hasty. Xiao Chen's heart has been tainted with darkness a long time ago. From here on, we just have to wait for the opium poppy's seeds to scatter all over the Human World!”

The enchanting woman frowned. ”But Yu Linglong seems to have fallen for that kid. She has gone through several cycles of reincarnation. Could it be… Lord Feng You, should we send her back to the Sacred World? Just in case she ruins our plans.”

The cloaked man chuckled. ”That won't be necessary. It might be better for us to have her around. She might just be the only person who can complete this mission. As for Ye Wuxin… It's just a puppet. He won't be able to cause much damage.”

…

Three whole days had passed since the great battle in Canglan City. This time, Xiao Chen's solo invasion of the Zuoqiu family estate had once again increased his fame. There were even rumors that he had something to do with the upcoming Annihilation Times.

Quite a number of high-ranking members of esteemed clans took notice that this mysterious rising rookie seemed to be targeting families like theirs. His first victim was the Ling family and the second was the Zuoqiu family. Thus, they instructed their disciples not to provoke Xiao Chen for no good reason.

The reemergence of the Devil Clan also caused tremendous unrest in the Violet Manor, prompting the appearance of many cultivators who had gone into long-term seclusion as well as cultivator clans. This also drew the utmost attention of an entity in the central region of the Middle Continent called the Immortals' League.

Currently, Xiao Chen had his back against a wicker chair and sunbathed comfortably inside a small courtyard in the Xianyong Sect. Even though winter was nearing, spiritual Qi was abundant atop the mountain and the variety of exotic flowers and plants in the courtyard perfumed the air.

Like a lively little fairy, Murong Xian'er was catching butterflies in the courtyard. She acted as if she had forgotten the great battle three days ago.

Xiao Chen never expected that he would experience so many life-and-death scenarios in such a short period of time. In particular, he didn't think he would meet so many experts in the past few days or that he would be able to bask in the sun so cozily here. It didn't feel quite real to him, to the extent that it almost felt like a dream.

What he least expected was learning that Xian'er was a Formation Spirit. This brought him both joy and worry. He was happy that Xian'er had surpassed the Six Paths of Reincarnation and had no need to suffer the pain of reincarnation.

What worried him was that a Formation Spirit would be forcefully returned to the formation after they depleted their spirit energy. They would forget everything that they had once experienced. Moreover, their spirit energy could never be restored and would only weaken as time passed until it completely ran out.

”Sigh…” Xian'er would surely leave him one day. He heaved a deep sigh when he thought of this.

Hearing noise coming from him, Murong Xian'er ran over with a wide smile. Cupped in her hands was a small, multi-colored butterfly. ”Brother Xiao Chen, why are you sighing?”

”It's nothing. Have you gotten used to this place after staying here for a few days? Today I'll take you down the mountain to play. How about it?” Xiao Chen caressed her face with a smile. Perhaps she had no idea that she was a Formation Spirit even now.

”Sounds good!”

Mid-conversation, one of the ladies of the Hidden Fragrance Wafting under the Moon entered the courtyard and saluted him. ”Master, someone requested to meet you.”
