The old woman in red moved slowly, her expression cold. Although she did not have the slightest fluctuation of spiritual energy, no one dared to underestimate her. Anyone who could survive to this day in such a perilous region as the Holy Gulf Continent was discerning. Thus, they could feel how powerful this old lady in red was.
However, most of the crowd’s glances only lingered on the old lady in red for few moments, because they were immediately drawn to the beautiful silhouette behind her. The center of attention was a girl clad in purple robes. She had a tall figure, and a pair of long, fair legs wrapped in pants that accentuated her curves. Her beauty was stunning.
She had an exquisite face and beautiful eyes that were bright and moving, as if they were stars. She radiated an endless youthful vitality. Her hair was pulled into a ponytail that swung as she walked.
She was a very beautiful girl, and that beauty was not the tenderness of an ordinary woman. Rather, it was due to her bright and brave demeanor. Her red lips curved into a smirk, filled with a sense of pride.
In the Great Thousand House, many eyes looked at her excitedly. Although the silver-haired girl was more beautiful, it was obvious that the old woman’s unique demeanor was attractive, too.
Despite that, no one dared to speak and flirt, for the old woman’s cold glance was enough to quench the fire in anyone’s heart.
Mu Chen and Luo Li stared at this proud and beautiful girl in surprise. This familiar face was Wen Qingxuan, whom they had met in the Five Academies Battle in the past.
“I didn’t think that she would be someone from the Wen family of the North Region,” said Luo Li. “The Wen’s have just risen in the Great Thousand World after 1,000 years. With regard to their history, it is naturally impossible to compare them with the Luo God Clan, but now they are strong. They can even be considered as a supreme power.”
“With this background, why did she go to the Million Phoenix Spiritual Academy?” Mu Chen asked in doubt.
“It is said that the Million Phoenix Spiritual Academy is backed by the Wen’s of the North Region,” Luo Li murmured.
Mu Chen then realized this layer of relations. No wonder Wen Qingxuan would appear in the Million Phoenix Spiritual Academy.
While they were talking in low voices, the line of people who had entered the large Great Thousand House had been led by the old woman in red to the front of the counter. Wen Qingxuan, who had been unconcerned, suddenly stopped as she stared at the man and woman in front of her in disbelief.
Beside her, several men and women followed, but apparently their positions were centered on Wen Qingxuan. When she suddenly stopped, they stopped, too.
Beside her, a man in white robes asked with a smile and a soft voice, “What’s the matter, Qingxuan?” His features were handsome, and judging from his fierce spiritual energy fluctuations, he was half a step away from being a Complete Earthly Sovereign. It was clear that this man in white robes had a significant rank among the Wen’s.
However, Wen Qingxuan did not pay attention to him. Instead, she looked in disbelief at Mu Chen and Luo Li smiling in front of her. A moment later, she finally exclaimed, “Luo Li? Mu Chen?!”
“Qingxuan, long time, no see.” Luo Li smiled.
“I didn’t expect to see you here again.” Mu Chen smiled. In the Five Academies Battle between them and Wen Qingxuan, they had grown from being unfamiliar to familiar, and they also had cooperated with each other and fought side by side. Only after the end of the Five Academies Battle had they left for their own journeys. They originally thought that they would no longer see each other and did not expect to meet again today.
“It’s really y’all!” Joy surged in Wen Qingxuan’s beautiful eyes. She rushed up in two steps, eagerly putting her arms around the two. However, just as Mu Chen was planning to reach out and accept it, Wen Qingxuan suddenly changed her gesture and elbowed him in the chest.
Mu Chen covered his chest and retreated two steps, pursing his lips in exasperation.
“If you want to take advantage of me, dream on.” Wen Qingxuan rolled her eyes at Mu Chen, then stretched out her arm to hold Luo Li by her thin waist. “Luo Li, you are so beautiful now that I dare not say I know you,” she said elatedly.
She was not lying. Luo Li now, compared to when she was in the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy, had transformed. With these years of experience and the Luo God Celestial Body’s influence, she was indeed a stunning beauty.
Luo Li smiled happily. She was quite pleased to meet Wen Qingxuan here because she missed the carefree time she had in the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy. The friends she had met at that time were precious.
Wen Qingxuan took a look at Mu Chen and exclaimed, “How can you still be with Mu Chen? This fellow is unworthy of you!”
Mu Chen’s face darkened.
Luo Li covered her mouth and smiled. When she glanced at Mu Chen, there was a hint of banter in her crystal eyes.
As the three were catching up, a voice cut in. “Qingxuan, are they your friends?” The handsome man in white robes came forward, smiling as he looked at Mu Chen and Luo Li.
“Hello, I am Wen Ziyu, of the Wen’s.” There was goodwill in the man’s eyes, and this kindness was not faked. Thus, they had a favorable impression of him. As he looked at Wen Qingxuan, the emotions that flowed from time to time in his eyes made it clear that he was obviously pursuing her.
As they smiled and nodded, Mu Chen and Luo Li sensed that this person was not bad.
“I’m Mu Chen.”
“Luo Li.”
Wen Qingxuan glared at Wen Ziyu. It looked like she didn’t like him at all, as he could only smile bitterly. At this time, the old woman in red also walked over slowly. Her cold eyes first looked towards Luo Li, then she nodded and said hoarsely, “What a beautiful girl.”
She glanced at Mu Chen but did not say a word, sweeping straight past him. Her disregard was quite obvious. However, My Chen was not vexed, for he perceived that the old woman in red’s disregard was not directed at him personally. She seemed indifferent to any man.
The cold eyes of the old woman in red locked onto the Scarlet Flame Deity in the rear as she said nonchalantly, “Scarlet Flame Deity, you’ve come quickly this time.”
The Scarlet Flame Deity cackled strangely and said, “Heh, Granny He, the Holy Gulf is not your Wen’s ancestors’. Why do you come every time?”
“The Ancient Holy Gulf does not belong to any family. With such an opportunity, why can’t my Wen family come?” The old woman in red, known as Granny He, sneered coldly.
The Scarlet Flame Deity rolled his eyes and did not intend to quarrel with the old woman who was prickly to any man.
Granny He from the Wen’s did not continue to argue with the Scarlet Flame Deity, either, and turned towards the gray-robed elder at the counter. “Elder Myriad Peaks, do help these young ones obtain a Demon Slayer Token.”
The gray-robed elder nodded lazily. With a wave of his sleeve, he fired several Demon Slayer Tokens towards Wen Qingxuan and the others.
Wen Qingxuan accepted the Demon Slayer Token as she looked at Mu Chen and Luo Li. “Are y’all here for the Ancient Holy Gulf, too?”
Mu Chen and Luo Li nodded.
“That’s great. I didn’t think that after so many years, we’d have a chance to work together again!” Wen Qingxuan grinned.
Mu Chen looked at Wen Qingxuan, only to find that she had now stepped into the rank of Lower Earthly Sovereign. Clearly, after returning to the Wen’s, her strength had also been greatly enhanced. Mu Chen could not help but sigh in his heart. It’s good to have a supreme power backing you.
However, looking at the present circumstances, the Ancient Holy Gulf seemed to attract many supreme powers. As of right now, the Ancient Holy Gulf had not really appeared. When it did, there would be a number of formidable teams. It seemed that this time, the battle for the Ancient Holy Gulf would be unexpectedly fierce.
“Come on, let’s find a place to rest.” The Scarlet Flame Deity waved at Mu Chen and Luo Li, and prepared to take them and leave. Mu Chen nodded and intended to bid farewell to Wen Qingxuan. However, a commotion suddenly burst out in the Great Thousand House.
In the huge, spacious pavilion, numerous gazes looked towards the main gate in surprise. Mu Chen also looked up, as he perceived something. At the gate, there were three groups of people stepping into the Great Thousand House at the same time. These three groups had extraordinary momentum. When they appeared, there was an invisible sense of oppression shrouding the entire pavilion.
Under such oppression, even the experienced experts who had often undergone life and death battles in the Holy Gulf Continent looked grave, and there was dread in their eyes.
Mu Chen gazed at the three groups that had entered the Great Thousand House. His pupils shrank sharply at this moment, for he saw that there was a black tower pattern on the robes of the three teams. He was no stranger to the black tower, for it was a pagoda!
In the entire Great Thousand World, the only clan who could use the pagoda as a clan rune would be one of the Five Ancient Clans, the Budur Ancient Clan! These three incredibly formidable teams all hailed from the Budur Ancient Clan!
