As Cai Xiao spoke with her clear voice, many people looked at Mu Chen. They looked as though they wanted to pierce through him with their glares.
The three ladies were top beauties, and all of them were talking about him. This made the men envious of Mu Chen.
The looks from the men made Mu Chen feel chilled, and he stared at Cai Xiao. He then cupped his hand and said to Su Biyue and Snapper, “Thank you for your invitations. Your seats are too high up. Thus, to avoid contention, I shall remain where I am.”
Mu Chen sounded sarcastic, and he was obviously targeting his satire at Liu Yan. Some people turned to look at Liu Yan, who was looking indifferent.
Seeing that Mu Chen had rejected their offers, Su Biyue and Snapper smiled, choosing not to persist. They looked at Cai Xiao, as it seemed natural for beauties to be sensitive toward one another. They could sense that she was a dangerous person.
They were shocked to get such a feeling from Cai Xiao. Given their strengths, there were only a handful of people among the younger generation in the North Territory that could make them feel such an emotion. They wondered where the charming girl came from.
Light flashed across their eyes, and both of the women went back to their respective seats.
Mu Chen went back to his seat and looked sharply at Cai Xiao, who was smiling. He said, “Are you trying to get me into trouble?”
Cai Xiao rested her chin on her hands and replied with a smile, “These two beauties are dangerous. I am helping you, to ensure you are not seduced or hurt by them.”
“You are more dangerous than them!” Mu Chen said snappily. Su Biyue and Snapper were not simple, but Cai Xiao was much more dangerous.
“You are so ungrateful,” Cai Xiao said, as shook her head. She looked at the top floor of the Pavilion and continued, “There are a few powerful people among the younger generation in the North Territory.”
Upon hearing this, he looked up as well. Other than Su Biyue, Snapper, Liu Yan and a few others, he could feel some powerful spiritual energy fluctuations hidden on the top floor. One of these fluctuations made one feel extremely cold, like the ice that had been hidden deep within Nine Netherworld.
As Mu Chen was sensing this cold spiritual energy fluctuation, the other party seemed to have noticed it as well, and started to move toward him like a venomous snake. It seemed as though one would be bitten the moment he came into contact with the coldness.
Mu Chen had not expected the person to be so aggressive. He was only checking things out, but the other party had attacked. He frowned and quickly withdrew his Spiritual Energy Sensor. As he withdrew the Sensor, he could still feel the cold air in his bones.
A purple flame in Mu Chen’s eyes lit up. The undying flame surged, burning off the cold air. Under the protection of the undying flame, Mu Chen’s Spiritual Energy Sensor withdrew into his body.
“The cold air is so domineering.” Mu Chen sounded dignified, as he looked at one dark corner. He had guessed who the person was.
He should be the Prince of Netherworld, who had been ranked number two in the Dragon-Phoenix Record.
“Fang Yi, who has been ranked number one, has not appeared,” Mu Chen muttered to himself. He had yet to sense another fluctuation that was more powerful than the Prince of Netherworld’s. There were only two reasons for such a phenomenon.
The first reason was that, Fang Yi was not around, and the other one would be that, he had reached such a level, whereby he could keep the fluctuation within himself, without Mu Chen being able to sense it. If it belonged to the latter, Fang Yi’s power would be terrifying.
Mu Chen looked grave. He could not belittle those top powers listed in the Dragon-Phoenix Record. The rankings could not be completely trusted, as they could be fabricated. Those who ranked behind Liu Yan might be more powerful and more tough to handle than him. Hence, Mu Chen was not confident, standing out from the rest of the participants in Dragon-Phoenix Rift.
The atmosphere in Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion had now returned to normal. However, those people, who had looked down on Mu Chen earlier, were a bit fearful of him now. They had realized that Mu Chen was someone not to be trifled with.
Mu Chen felt more relaxed now. Although he had displayed some of his power earlier, it was worthwhile, since it had helped him to solve some of the problems. As Mu Chen was thinking of the strength of the top powers, who would be participating in Dragon-Phoenix Rift, the bell tolled. The entire Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion immediately quieted down.
Everyone looked eagerly at the top floor of the Pavilion. An elderly figure walked out slowly, everyone becoming excited upon seeing him.
“Hohoho, Dragon-Phoenix Rift gets livelier with each round…”
