Chapter 250 Fallen Immortals Sec (2/2)
Xiao Chen had long learned to keep a cool head. He explained, ”It's nothing. Senior Sister Luo, can you take them to the Daoist League of the Five Continents first? I'll join you in a while.”
Li Muxue joined them and asked with a frown, ”Where are you going? I'm coming with you.” Murong Xian'er also came over. ”Me too! Me too!”
”Be obedient, Xian'er.” Xiao Chen's brows furrowed. He said to Li Muxue and Luo Shangyan, ”Listen to me and head to the Daoist League of the Five Continents first. I'll join you later, alright?” He then turned to salute the other Jade Qing Sect disciples. ”Apologies, everyone. I have something urgent to attend to. You'll have to head to the Daoist League of the Five Continents before me.”
Some of them had a basic idea of what was going on. They stepped forward and said, ”We'll come with you.”
Xiao Chen raised his hand. ”Please listen to me. Leave first. I'll be fine.”
”Then be careful,” Luo Shangyan said softly. She turned to the other disciples. ”Junior Brother Xiao will be fine. Let's go to the Daoist League of the Five Continents first.”
When everyone left, Xiao Chen and Qingluan exchanged looks. Immediately, they hopped onto their flying swords and flew toward the west district. Even though the city banned the use of flying swords during this time, they couldn't be bothered at such an urgent time.
Meanwhile, over at a place called Landscape Park in the west district, the park was filled with lush greenery, blooming flowers, and a towering rock garden. Every building inside was inter-connected, with a guard patrolling every 100 feet apart.
Seven frivolous-looking men dressed in different attire sat scattered inside the main hall. The one sitting in the central spot was a red-clothed man with a red speck resting between his brows. He propped his chin with his hand as he looked at a purple-clothed lady suspended from the beam with a flippant smile.
”You're quite brave to trespass into the Fallen Immortals Sect by yourself. Speak. Who sent you?”
The lady suspended from the beam was a pale-faced Ziyun'er. She glared at the red-clothed man in the central seat and scoffed.
”Tsk, how stubborn.” The red-clothed man smiled frivolously. He flicked a white radiance at her, causing her to scream.
”One-dot Red, forget it. Do we even need an answer? Who is she if not Xiao Chen's subordinate?” said a black-clothed man with the tattoo of a crane's tail feathers on his neck. He couldn't take his eyes off Ziyun'er's face when he spoke.
”Oh?” One-dot Red straightened his back and laughed. ”That's exactly what I wanted. I want to see if Xiao Chen lives up to the rumors or if he's a fake.”
”Hehe. How do you plan to deal with this woman?” The black-clothed man smiled lasciviously.
One-dot Red glanced at him and said with a chuckle, ”Second Brother, when will you learn? The charm of a beautiful woman is like a blade. Take care not to die under a woman's skirt one day.”
”Hehe. If I die under such circumstances, I'll keep my carnal ways as a ghost.”
The man with the tattoo of a crane's tail feathers was the second oldest of the ten men, Double-tailed Crane. He was infamous for being lustful. He patted his thigh, about to get up and make his way to Ziyun'er with a perverted smirk. Suddenly, a burst of wind whizzed past his ears as a steel nail flew at him.
Double-feathered Crane turned his head sideways and used his mouth to catch the steel nail. He spat it out and smiled wickedly. ”Pretty lady, both of your hands are tied. Where are you hiding your weapon? Don't tell me it's that place?”
”Bah! You shameless, crude man!” Ziyun'er scolded, annoyed that her attack failed.
Double-feathered Crane raised his head and laughed. ”I love the way you scold me! It's been a long time since I had a pretty lady scold me! Very well. Let me taste the woman belonging to the strongest youngster of the Five Continents!”
Ziyun'er's heart tightened with alarm as she watched him come closer and closer. She began to struggle. ”What are you doing? If you dare touch me, I swear I'll give you an ugly death!”
Out of the blue, the sound of an explosion erupted from outside the hall. The explosion shook the hall so much that the accumulated dust was falling off the beams. One-dot Red glanced outside with disinterest and said to a white-clothed man sitting near the door. ”Tenth Brother, go and see what's going on.”
Before his voice fell, the white-clothed man was already nowhere to be seen.
The front courtyard was a complete mess. The smaller pavilions were ruined and the rock garden had collapsed. Some ten guards were lying on the ground, coughing up blood. A man with potent murderous aura stood at the entrance of the courtyard. It was none other than Xiao Chen. Qingluan stood next to him, holding her breath and focusing on the stream of guards converging in front of them.
”Where is she?” Xiao Chen asked coldly.
”You're Xiao Chen?” one of the guards worked up the courage to ask.
”Correct.” Xiao Chen detected someone rapidly making his way over with his Divine Sense. That person was so fast that he could be described as shadowless. He immediately circulated his Qi all over his body and made a palm attack. A loud explosion resounded, causing the raging of vital force. The greenery around them was instantly reduced to dust.
”Name yourself!” Xiao Chen said coldly.
”I'm Traceless for Ten Miles from the Fallen Immortals Sect.” Before his voice reached Xiao Chen's ears, a white-clothed man was already ten feet away from him. ”I have named myself. What are you going to do about it?”
