Chapter 261 Top Ten (2/2)

Xiao Chen shook his head with a chuckle. ”We don't say things like to a fellow disciple.”

His voice hadn't faded when they heard a fit of rustling noises coming from the distance. Qingluan and Ziyun'er immediately raised their guard and flanked Xiao Chen to protect him.

Yu Yifeng looked in the direction of the noise. Then, he raised a hand and said, ”It's not an enemy. Don't be nervous.”

Ten or so people were cautiously walking over. The leader was a youngster clad in black, with the hem of his clothing burned in half. Behind him were ten or so male and female disciples in scorched clothes. They looked around suspiciously, looking cautious and prudent. It made them look rather pathetic.

When the group came close and saw Yu Yifeng and the rest, the black-dressed leader heaved a sigh of relief. With a wry smile, he said, ”Junior Brother Yu, what a coincidence.”

Yu Yifeng frowned when he noticed the burn marks on the group's clothing. ”Brother Han, what's...”

The youngster clad in black shook his head with a wry smile. ”Unfortunate turn of events, I suppose. We accidentally entered the Grade 6 district. The moment we got out and entered the Grade 5 district, we ran into the Order of the Divine Fire. I wonder when this sect had become so cruel...”

Xiao Chen didn't know who the youngster was but knew the group was a mixture of Xianyong Sect and Order of the Countless Blades after spotting Qin Shaoyang and Liu Feiyan in their ranks. These two sects shared cordial ties with the Jade Qing Sect, so they wouldn't be doing any plundering. Thus, he greeted Qin Shaoyang and the rest.

Yu Yifeng looked at him. ”Junior Brother Xiao, let me introduce you to Senior Brother Han Moyang of the Order of the Countless Blades.”

Han Moyang's eyes lit up. He immediately saluted Xiao Chen with a bright smile. ”So this is Xiao Chen. I have long heard of your name...”

Xiao Chen returned his salutation with a smile. ”I apologize for failing to recognize you...”

”You're too polite...”

Yu Yifeng coughed once. ”By the way, Brother Han. What's it like over at the Grade 6 district?”

Han Moyang was surprised. ”What? Don't tell me you're planning to go there!” He shook his head with a wry smile. ”Listen to me and forget about it. We barely managed to escape that place. We couldn't participate in the battles over there at all. That woman from your East Continent is simply too terrifying.”

Xiao Chen frowned. ”Xiaoyue of the Thousand Feathers Sect?”

”No.” Han Moyang shook his head. ”It's a woman from Heartless Palace. Her attacks are ruthless. Fortunately, we're in the Forest of Illusory Moon or I don't know how many lives she'll claim.”

Xiao Chen's heart sank. It was Huangfu Xin'er!

Qin Shaoyang and Liu Feiyan trembled. It was obvious that their fear of her still lingered.

”I saw her taking on five members of the Fallen Immortals Sect by herself. When her fingernails lengthen, a red light will flash and two of the five members would have their chests ripped apart. The Fallen Immortals Sect has no choice but to come to an armistice with the Heartless Palace...”

Xiao Chen was alarmed. Had Huangfu Xin'er's cultivation become that terrifying, enough to those madmen from the Fallen Immortals Sect to bring up an armistice...?

Qin Shaoyang said, ”Besides some other sects, the Divine Mist Sect and the Thousand Feathers Sect are like oil and water fighting for dominance in the Grade 6 district. Xiaoyue has incredible Taoist methods, but she doesn't get the upper hand against an overall stronger Divine Mist Sect.”

Xiao Chen nodded. Their explanation gave him a basic understanding of the situation in the Grade 6 district. He asked, ”I heard Brother Han mentioning the Order of the Divine Fire. Where are they from?”

The team made up of the Xianyong Sect and the Order of the Countless Blades was quite strong overall. In particular, Han Moyang was surely not inferior to Brother Yifeng in terms of cultivation. How did a single sect make them so miserable? Since Xiao Chen's team would be entering the Grade 5 district, a battle against the Order of the Divine Fire was inevitable.

Han Moyang narrowed his eyes and slowly said, ”The Order of the Divine Fire? They're quite the strange one...”
