Chapter 671: Treacherous Lone Wolf (1/2)

Chapter 671: Treacherous Lone Wolf

Aside from these two teams, which seemed to be the strongest, there were three other weaker teams made up of several late-stage Medial Grade Martial Monarchs.

These people should be from Rank 8 sects, like the Rising Sky Pavilion, in the eighteen southern provinces. In those sects, one only had to advance to peak late-stage Medial Grade Martial Monarch to become true inheritors.

True inheritors did not lack resources. They would not risk their lives to kill these notorious bandits for the sake of Medial Grade Spirit Gathering Pearls.

However, of these strong cultivators, the one that attracted Xiao Chen’s attention was a lone white-haired cultivator.

This white-haired cultivator had a faint scar on his face. He was dressed in white clothes and appeared very clean, simple, and peaceful.

However, Xiao Chen detected a deeply buried viciousness in the depths of that person’s eyes, completely belying his outward appearance.

If Xiao Chen’s Mental Energy had not been much stronger than that of regular cultivators, he would not have noticed this peculiarity.

This person was also a peak late-stage Medial Grade Martial Monarch. Furthermore, based on his aura, he was no weaker than the man in black and the girl in yellow.

Without saying anything, Xiao Chen paid the bill and asked for a good room. After he took a bath, he immediately started using Spirit Gathering Pearls to cultivate.

The night arrived quickly, and a bright moon hung in the sky, giving off a gentle glow. The world seemed quiet and peaceful.

“Dong! Dong! Dong!”

Knocking came from the door. Xiao Chen opened his eyes and stopped cultivating to answer it.

A member of the yellow-clad girl’s team stood outside the door. Like that yellow-clad girl, this person was also a pretty girl, one dressed in green.

This girl smiled gracefully and said, “You must be the elite disciple of the Supreme Sky Sect, right?”

Under the moonlight, this girl looked very beautiful when she laughed. She exuded a certain charm that tugged at Xiao Chen’s heartstrings.

This girl probably cultivated some sort of Charm Technique. She executed this technique as she spoke. However, it was useless against Xiao Chen. This girl’s Charm Technique was far weaker than Leng Yue’s.

Using a Charm Technique on Xiao Chen for no reason was already tantamount to attacking him. He focused his gaze and immediately used his Spiritual Sense to break this girl’s Charm Technique.

He said bluntly, “Don’t bother trying such tricks on me. If you have something to say, just say it. If there is nothing, don’t disturb my cultivation.”

The girl in green took a step back. As her Charm Technique had been broken, her complexion appeared somewhat unsightly, and she felt unhappy with Xiao Chen. This fellow is clearly only an Inferior Grade Martial Monarch, yet he speaks so rudely.

However, this girl did not change her expression as she said, “Since I came in the middle of the night, naturally there is something important. If I am not wrong, you must be here for Lone Wolf as well.”

Xiao Chen did not deny it. He gently nodded his head, wanting to hear what the other party had to say.

“In that case, this makes things simpler. Lone Wolf is not easy to deal with. The Full Moon Pavilion’s Young Master Qiu Yi and my Senior Sister, the Thousand Mystery Sect’s Zhuo Ping, wish to gather everyone to deal with him together.”

“As for Lone Wolf’s head, we will fight over this later by relying on our own abilities. This will save us unnecessary trouble before we deal with Lone Wolf.”

As the green-clad girl explained leisurely, she extended an invitation to Xiao Chen.

Of the teams that were here, the two led by this pair were the strongest. When they worked together to extend an invitation, it was actually more of a threat.

If you did not agree, they might decide to deal with you in advance to forestall problems.

If you agreed, after the battle was over, these two people were the most likely to be able to obtain the proof of completion. Under such circumstances, this essentially blocked the other teams from trying to take advantage of the situation for their personal gain.

Xiao Chen smiled bitterly in his heart. This was an open conspiracy.

Even if he recognized the plot, he had no choice but to agree. Otherwise, he would not even get the chance to compete.

Following the green-clad girl, Xiao Chen arrived at a sky deck at the top of the inn. The five teams and other individuals that Xiao Chen had seen during the day were all gathered here.

The white-haired cultivator that Xiao Chen had paid particular attention to stood in the corner, appearing tranquil.

When the black-clad man saw Xiao Chen arrive, he immediately walked over and smiled warmheartedly. “This brother, I am Full Moon Pavilion’s Qiu Yi. Welcome to the team.”

At the same time, Qiu Yi introduced the other people on the team to Xiao Chen. When it was the white-haired man’s turn, he said, “This is Brother Zhong Li from the north. Like you, he is a bladesman, and he is pretty good.”

After Xiao Chen introduced himself, he went to a corner alone and looked at the City Lord’s Residence below.

The City Lord’s Residence’s defenses did not seem to have been strengthened, as if they had not received any news. It appeared very peaceful under the moonlight.

“I don’t know if Lone Wolf will come tonight or not.”

“Lone Wolf has struck several nights consecutively. We had to put in everything we had, and we only managed to push him into retreat. We cannot let him escape now.”

Two of the people on the team chatted with each other. When Xiao Chen heard them, he was surprised. He had not expected Lone Wolf to have appeared already.

The leader, Qiu Yi, said, “Everyone, do be careful tonight. Lone Wolf has the bloodline of the White Wolf Race. During the full moon, his strength increases severalfold. Tonight is not a good night to deal with him.”

“Boom!”

Right after Qiu Yi spoke, a black figure came from below the golden full moon in the distance, quickly flying over.

A baleful aura covered him, a horrifying aura that seemed to undulate like waves. Even from a distance, it gave everyone goosebumps.

“He is coming!” Everyone’s expressions changed, and they all perked up.
