Aside from these two strongest teams, there were three weaker teams, made up of several late-stage Medial Grade Martial Monarchs.
These teams should be from Rank 8 sects like the Rising Sky Pavilion in the eighteen southern provinces. In their sects, one could become a true inheritor once they reached peak late-stage Medial Grade Martial Monarchs.
True inheritors did not lack resources. They would not risk their lives to kill bandits for Medial Grade Spirit Gathering Pearls.
However, among these cultivators with high cultivations, the one that caught Xiao Chen's attention was a lone, white-haired cultivator.
This white-haired cultivator had a faint scar on his face. He also wore white clothes, and his aura was simple and clean, appearing very peaceful.
However, Xiao Chen detected a hidden ruthlessness in the depths of this white-haired cultivator's eyes. This aura was completely different from the aura he displayed.
If not for Xiao Chen's Mental Energy being much stronger than that of regular cultivators, he would not have noticed this strange thing.
This person was also a peak late-stage Medial Grade Martial Monarch. Furthermore, based on his aura, he was no weaker than the black-clad man or the yellow-clad woman.
Xiao Chen calmly paid the bill and asked for a room. After he took a bath, he immediately started using the Spirit Gathering Pearls to cultivate.
Night arrived quietly. The bright moon hung high in the sky, sending down its radiance. The entire world was quiet and serene. "Dong! Dong!
Dong! "
Knocking came from outside the room. Xiao Chen opened his eyes and stopped cultivating. Then, he opened the door and went out.
At this moment, one of the yellow-clad woman's team stood outside the door. She was also a pretty azure-clad woman.
She smiled gracefully and said, "This young master should be an elite disciple of the Haotian Sect, right?"
Under the moonlight, this woman looked extremely beautiful when she smiled. There was a flirtatious look on her face that tugged at one's heartstrings.
This woman must have cultivated some kind of Charm Technique. As she spoke, she silently executed it. However, this was useless against Xiao Chen. Her Charm Technique was far inferior to Leng Yue's.
Using a Charm Technique on her for no reason was no different from attacking her. Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed, and his Spiritual Sense shook to break this woman's Charm Technique.
He said rudely, "Don't use these little tricks on me again. If you have something to say, just say it. If not, don't come and disturb my cultivation."
The azure-robed woman took a step back. Her complexion was somewhat unsightly after her Charm Technique was broken. She was very dissatisfied with Xiao Chen's reaction. This fellow was clearly only an Inferior Grade Martial Monarch. However, he was not polite when he spoke.
However, Xiao Chen's expression did not change. He smiled and said, "Naturally, there is something for me to visit so late at night. If I guessed right, you should be here for Lone Wolf."
Xiao Chen did not deny it. He nodded lightly and waited to see what the other party had to say.
"In that case, it will be easy to deal with Lone Wolf. Full Moon Pavilion's Young Master Qiu Yi and our Thousand Fantasy Sect's Senior Sister Zhuo Ping want to gather everyone's strength to deal with him."
"As for Lone Wolf's head, when the time comes, everyone will fight for it based on their own abilities, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble."
The azure-robed woman spoke in a leisurely manner, extending an invitation to Xiao Chen.
Of the teams that came, these two clans were the strongest. Their joint invitation was more of a threat than anything else.
If Xiao Chen did not agree, to prevent Xiao Chen from causing trouble, they might deal with him first.
If Xiao Chen agreed and the battle ended, these two clans would have the highest chance of obtaining the proof of completion. Given this, the other teams would be unable to take advantage of the situation.
Xiao Chen smiled bitterly to himself. This was an overt scheme.
Even though Xiao Chen knew the other party's scheme, he had no choice but to agree. Otherwise, he would not even have the chance to continue playing.
Following the azure-robed woman, Xiao Chen arrived at a balcony on the top floor of the inn. The five teams and other factions that he saw during the day were all gathered here.
The white-haired cultivator that Xiao Chen paid special attention to stood in a corner, appearing extremely calm.
When the man in luxurious black clothes saw Xiao Chen arrive, he immediately walked over and smiled warmly. "This brother, I am the Full Moon Pavilion's Qiu Yi. Welcome to the team."
At the same time, he introduced the other people in the team to Xiao Chen. When the white-haired man was introduced, he said, "This is Brother Zhong Li from the north. Like you, he is also a bladesman. He is very skilled at Saber Techniques."
After Xiao Chen introduced himself, he stood alone in a corner and looked at the City Lord's Residence below.
The defenses of the City Lord's Residence were not particularly strong. It seemed like they had not received any news. Under the illumination of the full moon, everything was very calm.
"I wonder if Lone Wolf will come tonight."
"He attacked for the past few nights. We spent a lot of effort to repel him. We absolutely cannot let him escape today."
Two people in the team conversed softly. When Xiao Chen heard this, he was startled. He had not expected Lone Wolf to appear so early.
The leader, Qiu Yi, said, "Everyone, be careful today. Lone Wolf has the blood of the White Wolf Race. During the full moon, he will be several times stronger. He will not be easy to deal with tonight."
"Boom!"
Right after Qiu Yi spoke, a black figure quickly flew over from the distant horizon under the golden full moon.
A baleful aura spread out from this figure, and a horrifying aura rose and fell like the vast sea. Even from a distance, one could feel it clearly, causing one's hair to tremble.
"He's here!" Everyone's expressions changed as they perked up at the same time.
"Xiu!
Xiu! "The eyes of Qiu Yi and Zhuo Ping lit up. They immediately led their companions and leaped off the roof, quickly flying towards Lone Wolf.
The others took a deep breath and revealed excited expressions. Then, they flew off one after another.
The white-haired cultivator, Zhong Li, glanced at Xiao Chen and said, "Brother Xiao, we are both alone. How about we travel together?"
Xiao Chen smiled gently and said, "That is exactly what I was thinking."
Several dozen black figures flashed in the calm night. A strong killing Qi spread out, filling the air with a cold and somber intent under the bright full moon. "Bang! Bang!
Bang! "
At the very front, Qiu Yi and Zhuo Ping had already made a move to block Lone Wolf. An intense battle immediately broke out in the sky.
All sorts of horrifying forces burst out with five-colored lights in the dark night. Heavy explosions rang out continuously in the night.
Before Xiao Chen and Zhong Li could rush over, they saw some weaker cultivators trying to help get knocked back.
When Xiao Chen got closer, he discovered that Lone Wolf, who wore black leather armor, wore a mask on his face. He could not see his appearance clearly.
Fighting one against two, Lone Wolf faced Qiu Yi's and Zhuo Ping's sharp attacks. His defense was impenetrable. Occasionally, he could pull back his hand and easily block the attacks of the others.
As Lone Wolf leaped up and down, he occasionally caught hold of an unlucky cultivator's weakness. Then, he used his baleful aura to attack them and severely injure them in an instant.
Everyone's expressions turned somewhat unsightly. Tonight's Lone Wolf was indeed as Qiu Yi had said; he was much stronger than the night before. Xiao Chen looked to the side and saw Zhong Li staring at the battle in front of him. He looked extremely engrossed.
Zhong Li's expression did not seem to be wrong. However, Xiao Chen keenly noticed that Zhong Li was not focusing on Lone Wolf.
Instead, Zhong Li was staring at Qiu Yi and Zhuo Ping. It was like he was analyzing their fighting styles and unique Martial Techniques.
"Brother Xiao, it is time for us to make a move."
Seeing that Xiao Chen had noticed him, Zhong Li withdrew his gaze and smiled faintly. A thick saber appeared in his hand as he charged at Lone Wolf first.
Zhong Li's thick saber sent out a white icy saber Qi. Under the restraint of saber intent, the state of ice did not leak out at all.
In the night, the dense white saber Qi looked like a line descending from the sky, piercing through Qiu Yi and Zhuo Ping.
The saber Qi accurately struck Lone Wolf's body. Ice spread out, and in an instant, Lone Wolf was completely frozen.
When Xiao Chen saw this saber strike, a strange light flashed in his eyes. He exclaimed in shock, "A perfect fifty-percent-comprehended saber intent!"
Qiu Yi was even more astonished. He had not expected this Zhong Li to be hiding his strength. However, this was not the time to be thinking about this.
The sword in Qiu Yi's right hand trembled, and a flame spread out. A Quintessence bird in high spirits flew out from the sword with a cry.
The bird gave off a bright golden light. Every feather of the bird burned with a blazing flame. As it flapped its wings, heat waves surged into the sky, completely eliminating the cold of the night.
As the bird flapped its wings, rings of formless flames appeared in the air, spreading out like ripples.
The power of the ripples was extremely terrifying. As they vibrated, the entire space trembled.
The expressions of the others changed. They immediately understood what Qiu Yi was trying to do. He wanted to use the opportunity while Lone Wolf was sealed in ice to knock everyone back.
After that, he would snatch the other party's head and obtain proof of completion.
The logic was very clear. However, not many people dared to clash head-on with the formless flame ripples. They could only retreat helplessly for now.
The pretty Zhuo Ping snorted coldly and thrust the thin sword in her hand forward. The tip of the sword released a dazzling light.
The surging ripples immediately parted. The tip of the sword clashed with the ripples, creating countless resplendent flames.
Under the bright moonlight, the flames were as beautiful as starlight.
Although Zhuo Ping blocked the flame ripples, she was delayed. She could only watch as Qiu Yi charged at Lone Wolf with the golden flaming bird.
"Ka ca!"
Just at this moment, countless cracks appeared on the originally smooth and precipitous ice sculpture. Lone Wolf instantly regained his freedom.
When Lone Wolf saw the golden flaming bird flying over, he roared ferociously. His right arm swelled up continuously. His sleeve instantly tore, revealing a werewolf's arm.
Quintessence containing Fiend Energy gathered in his transformed hand. Then, he punched. "Bang!
Bang! "
In the silence of the night, two loud explosions resounded as the giant flaming bird was smashed to pieces. It was like a golden-bright fireball had turned into countless flames in the dark night, scattering in all directions.
Qiu Yi's killing move was forcefully broken. His expression was somewhat unsightly as he vomited a mouthful of blood and retreated several hundred meters.
However, Lone Wolf was in an even more sorry state than Qiu Yi. The energy from the explosion blasted his transformed arm into a mangled mess. Even the bones were visible. One of his arms was temporarily crippled.
However, Lone Wolf took advantage of this opportunity to fly back a kilometer, quickly fleeing out of the city.
"After him! We can't let him escape again! "Zhuo Ping shouted. Then, she led the Thousand Mystery Sect's people and quickly gave chase.
