Chapter 131 (1/2)
Seeing Xiao Chen’s eyebrows furrowed, Luo Shangyan asked, “What are you thinking?”
Xiao Chen came to his senses, shook his head, and smiled. “Nothing.” He asked again after a short silence, “By the way, where is Miss. Shen?”
“I took her to the city and left.”
Xiao Chen nodded, thinking that the sect rules of this Thousand Feathers Sect were merciless. There was no friendship between the fellows. Suddenly, he thought of Qianyu Nishang. Wasn’t she just such a person? If she had even a little bit of friendship, how could she frame him up with others? He gave her the Autumn Water in vain. Thinking of this, his heart felt very bitter, and he couldn’t help sighing.
Three days passed quickly, and the story that Xiao Chen fought two experts in one day had already been widely spread in Wu Province. Summoning the dragons, the Legendary Weapon recognizing him as owner, and the previous doings in the Immortals League Competition, which are now widely known to all. Even the women and children knew about these.
There were even rumors that he had surprised some reclusive cultivators, and the He family and Ling family had sent experts to capture him.
Xiao Chen just laughed off these rumors and ignored them. Yu Yifeng visited him several times during this period. The people gathered in the Widespread Wintriness Sect again this day. Although they had asked for an artisan to repair the mountain gate square, the traces left by the great battle of that day were still shocking.
Xiaoyue and others were standing on the high platform. On this trip to Wuwang Wind Cloud City, the most outstanding young people from all sects were picked, and the older generation did not go together. They stayed in the Widespread Wintriness Sect as reinforcements.
Ye Wuhen from Penglai Island, Xu Gu from Wuyin Monastery, and other rising stars were in the lineup. There were other young experts from various sects, with a total of 14 people, all of whom reached Core Forming Realm. Plus Xiao Chen and his three companions, there was a total of 18 people.
Such a lineup was very strong even in the entire East Divine Continent, enough to eliminate any small faction. But Xiao Chen was not optimistic. Even if there were more than a dozen Core Forming Realm experts, it was far from enough to deal with Wuwang Wind Cloud City. He didn’t know what tricks Xiaoyue was playing. He saw Mu Chengxue preoccupied and asked, “Miss Gu, what’s the matter?”
It took her a long time to react. She shook her head and said, “No… Nothing.”
Xiao Chen saw that she was disturbed, and it was not good for him to continue questioning. He learned from Yu Yifeng that she had been searching for her elder brother for several years without any result. She should be distraught about this matter. Back then, she unsealed his Spiritual Meridians, so he should do whatever he could to help her.
Half an hour later, everyone was ready to go. The elders of every sect had already told their disciples not to conduct direct confrontation with Wuwang Wind Cloud City, and they should go back to report when they were sure that it’s really related to the Soul-consuming Evil Flowers.
These people were the best in their sects, so they were somewhat frivolous and arrogant. They agreed with their mouths, but nobody knew what they thought in their hearts. Now, they were going to need a leader. There was no doubt that they elected Xiaoyue. However, Xiaoyue had ceded this position to Xu Gu from the Wuyin Monastery.
On the side of the Jade Qing Sect, Yu Yifeng arranged some matters to his four junior brothers and sisters, and set foot on the Flying-cloud Stone together with Xiao Chen, Mu Chengxue, and Luo Shangyan.
The 18 people, stood on the Flying-cloud Stone and flew to Wuwang Wind Cloud City under the eyes of all. It’s now autumn in the Violet Manor. Overlooking the mountains and rivers below, everyone was relaxed and felt happy. Soon, they began to chatter.
Everyone was talking and smiling. Ye Wuhen from Penglai Island did not talk to Xiao Chen and his companions. The disciples from other sects seemed to forget their elders’ warning and walked to Xiao Chen’s side one after another, chatting with him. Only a few female disciples seemed to be really frightened by the murderous aura Xiao Chen had before. They took him as a mad killer and kept away from him.
Xiao Chen was always easy-going and got to know these people very well soon. However, whenever someone asked him about his master, he always avoided the topic. Over time, people stopped asking.
