Upon knowing that Wen Qingxuan and her group had met with trouble, Mu Chen and his group were undoubtedly shocked. After working with Wen Qingxuan and her group, they were naturally very clearly of the astonishing strength the latter possessed. Although they had yet to see her taking action without any restraint, even Mu Chen would admit that if he was to truly cross hands with her, even he would not dare to say that he possessed an absolute chance of victory.

This was an arrogant and haughty phoenix from the Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy. Not only did she possess a beauty that could cause the downfall of countries, her talent was similarly more than sufficient to cause countless geniuses to pale in colour.

In accordance to Mu Chen’s original estimates, although all the powerful groups participating in the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament had appeared, there were only an exceedingly few that were able to contend against Wen Qingxuan. Furthermore, Mu Chen was truthfully unable to come up with anyone possessing the capability that could truly cause trouble for her.

Therefore, with some suspicion and doubt within their hearts, Mu Chen and his group proceeded to ask around and gathered information, with a foreign-sounding name finally landing within their ears.

Xiao Huang.

“Xiao Huang? Who’s that fellow?” Upon hearing their foreign name, Xu Huang and the other two instantly voiced out in suspicion. Ever since their entry to the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament till now, they have yet to heard about this name before.

The mysterious great leader of the Academy Alliance is known by the name of Xiao Huang,” replied Luo Li in a soft voice.

“Academy Alliance?” The faces of Xu Huang and the other two instantly changed. They never had much of a friendly relationship with the Academy Alliance. However, while they were in the remnant of the Divine Wood Palace, those fellows were given an extremely miserable beating by Mu Chen. Who would have thought that there would still be such a formidable figure present within the Academy Alliance?

“No matter how formidable Xiao Huang is, I don’t think that he’ll truly be able to cause trouble for Wen Qingxuan, right? Although their might perhaps be some people in this Great Spiritual Academy Tournament that can contend against her, it would be absolutely difficult to surround and trap her,” muttered Mu Chen, while a faint wrinkle appeared on his forehead.

“It’s said that Wen Qingxuan’s not the only person that has been surrounded and trapped. Even Pin’er, Le’er as well as the other two groups of their Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy,” replied Luo Li while shooting a look at Mu Chen. “Furthermore, that Xiao Huang is also a Spiritual Array Master, and is even quite accomplished in his attainments in this aspect.”

“Oh?” Hearing that, Mu Chen’s eyes slightly narrowed. This piece of information had seemingly exceeded his expectations.

“From the looks of it, the reason why Mo Yu and his gang of peeps were able to display the Jade Disk that could create a shielding Spiritual Array in the Hidden Spiritual Courtyard should be due that person,” said Mu Chen slowly, while a unique glint appeared in his eyes. The Spiritual Array present within the Jade Disk was exceedingly ingenious. The creator of such a thing would definitely not be any ordinary person. Looks like this Xiao Huang truly was extraordinary.

“According to the news that has been circulating around, as of now, Wen Qingxuan and the others have been surrounded and trapped by the Spiritual Array that Xiao Huang had meticulously arranged, and are unable to extricate themselves from within,” said Luo Li.

“As long as the Spiritual Array arranged by Xiao Huang hasn’t reach the realm of Spiritual Array Grandmaster, it would absolutely be unable to trap Wen Qingxuan. However… if there are other people besides her, it would be hard to say,” muttered Mu Chen. With Wen Qingxuan’s level of strength, although it might be thorny for her, wanting to extricate herself would absolutely be a possibility. However, the problem was the other groups from the Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy trapped with her. These people would be unable to easily extricate themselves. Therefore, it was impossible for Wen Qingxuan to break free and leave the rest behind.

“What a good method employed by that Xiao Huang,” said Mu Chen in an indifferent tone.

Luo Li nodded her head in agreement. Clearly, that Xiao Huang was relying on this ploy to interfere with the plans of Wen Qingxuan. After all, there were times that the number of people trapped within a Spiritual Array wouldn’t amount to any superiority and might even become a burden. Therefore, as long as Wen Qingxuan wasn’t able to become heartless and toss her group members aside, this would continue to weigh her down to the point where she would no long be able to endure anymore.

This was clearly something that Xiao Huang was happy to see.

“They say that Wen Qingxuan and the others have already been trapped for three days. However, that Xiao Huang’s also kinda strange, since, from the start, he has only made a move to trap them and has not done anything else since,” said Luo Li doubtfully in a soft voice.

Hearing that, wrinkles started to faintly form on Mu Chen’s forehead. After deeply pondering for a moment, he said, “I believe… that their goal might not just be Wen Qingxuan alone.”

Hearing his words, Xu Huang and the others instantly gawked, before saying in shock, “Not only Wen Qingxuan… could it be…?”

As they thought about it, their faces furiously contorted. As of now, they couldn’t be more clear about the grudges and grievances between them and the Academy Alliance. All of the plans the Academy Alliance had cooked up was ruined and destroyed by them, with their three leaders even being sent retreating for their lives in a miserable fashion by Mu Chen. Such grudges wouldn’t be light. If that Xiao Huang was the great leader of the Academy Alliance, he would definitely not be able to quietly swallow this down.

Therefore, if the Academy Alliance was planning to target someone other than Wen Qingxuan, they would definitely be the first to bear the brunt.

“The only thing Xiao Huang did to Wen Qingxuan was to surround her, but did not attack. This might be due to her strength. However, I believe that there might be quite a large possibility that he wants to lure us to come forward and help her… Haha, this Xiao Huang sure has a big appetite,” said Mu Chen with a smile, one that contained a sliver of chilling intent.

“What should we do, then?” asked Xu Huang as he looked towards Mu Chen.
