Chapter 553 (2/2)

“Furthermore, the target of Xiao Huang isn’t only Wen Qingxuan. He just wants to use her to lure Mu Chen out, that’s all,” said Wu Ling with a faint smile, his gaze appearing somewhat peculiar. “Mu Chen should’ve been his target all along.”

This name wasn’t unfamiliar or foreign to him, as he had cross hands with Mu Chen while both of them were in the Spiritual Road, with both of them obtaining their respective victories. He was exceedingly interested in this former opponent of his. However, with the occurrence of the matter of Mu Chen being expelled from the Spiritual Road, this had always caused him to feel some regret.

However it was fortunate that he was finally able to heard this name again.

“Why would he want to deal with Mu Chen specifically? That fellow doesn’t have much points, and there isn’t any benefit in defeating him at all,” asked Wu Yingying as her forehead started to wrinkle.

“Who knows? Perhaps, Xiao Huang had set his sights on something that Mu Chen possesses,” said Wu Ling with a faint smile.

“From the looks of it, it seems that Xiao Huang had made thorough preparations. The might of this Spiritual Array is astonishing. Furthermore, it appears abstruse and profound. If that fellow Mu Chen truly dares to come, I’m afraid that he won’t be able to get much of an advantage,” said Wu Yingying, her voice containing a sliver of worry that was hard to conceal.

“Haha. Don’t you hate him to death? Why are you worried about his safety?” Wu Ling shot a strange look at Wu Yingying as a smile appeared on his face.

“Who cares about him! I can’t wait for him to be beaten to death!” snapped Wu Yingying back, her eyes wide open while her lovable face turned beet-red.

Wu Ling helplessly shrugged as he looked at his surroundings. There were hundreds to thousands of figures around them. Clearly, they were all attracted to this location. The matter had already spread throughout this vast central region as almost everyone knew that Xiao Huang had trapped Wen Qingxuan to lure Mu Chen.

However, under such circumstances, there was no one that interfered with the entire situation. Regardless of Xiao Huang, or Wen Qingxuan, and even Mu Chen, who had yet to appear, there were many people that were clear about how formidable they were. Therefore, they have great anticipation of the confrontation that would occur. After all, only in this kind of situation would they be able to obtain a chance to gain some benefit.

In such a situation, god-knows how many heavyweight groups were out there paying attention to the matters happening over here. Regardless of whether Mu Chen would appear or not, or that Wen Qingxuan would break out from the array, it would clearly lead to an extremely spectacular confrontation.

“Next up, we have to wait for the appearance of the main character, huh.”

As spiritual light radiated from the majestic mountain peak and into the eyes of the everyone around, they could faintly discern incomparably complicated glowing patterns starting to surface from within. These glowing patterns appeared to be carved out of nothing, giving people an insubstantial feeling. This mountain peak was approximately a thousand metres in diameter. However, as of now, this was within the radius of the spiritual light’s reach. This region had already been included in the radius of the Spiritual Array. Therefore, there was simply no one that dared to come close to it.

At this moment, there were two figures sitting quietly on a green stone within a certain location of the Spiritual Array. Behind them stood Mo Yu, Qin Feng and Liu Xiong, the three leaders of the Multi-Academy Alliance, with their faces brimming with nervousness and worship.

“Great Leader, will that Mu Chen really come? He should already know that this place has already become a dangerous location for him…” asked Mo Yu in a quiet voice.

Present before him was a youth with long black hair that possessed an exceedingly ordinary appearance. However, his pair of eyes appeared to be like a deep chasm, causing people to be simply unable to see their depth.

Hearing Mo Yu’s question, he faintly raised his eyes, before replying, “The news has already been circulated. Even Wen Qingxuan knows about it. She’s a person that pursues perfection, even if it is towards her friends. If Mu Chen doesn’t come, she would understand, yet this would result in some ill feelings being born within her heart. This would prohibit her friendship with Mu Chen from here on. This would result in the impossibility for her to collaborate with him in the future.”

“If Mu Chen comes over, that’s precisely what I want. I’ve set my sights on the thing from the Hidden Spiritual Courtyard, and he should hand it over. If not, I won’t mind letting him know that not even the people from the five Great Academies possess the qualifications to be bossy and domineering in this place…”

“Therefore, I’m able to obtain a harvest, regardless of whether Mu Chen comes or not.”

Hearing his reply, shadows of worship and respect instantly gushed from the eyes of Mo Yu and the other two, before excitement appeared on their faces. They were already unable to contain their impatience to see the expression Mu Chen would have when he was defeated. That bastard has actually forced them to return empty-handed from the remnant of the Divine Wood Palace and even sent them fleeing away like dogs with tails between their legs.

“Now, the only thing we need to do is wait.”

Speaking with a faint smile, Xiao Huang proceeded to slowly close his eyes.

However, not long after shutting his eyes, a tremble suddenly shook through his eyebrows, before his eyes rapidly sprung open. Looking with indifference towards the distance, an arc started to curl from the corner of his mouth, one that brought about a sliver of chilling intent.

“You actually came so quickly. Truly befitting of the boldness of an able person.”
