Chapter 1020: Came with Ill Intentions
“Alright, it’s getting late. Go back and rest. We still have to go to Qianzhong Ridge Tomorrow,” said Ling Chuxi as she stretched. She already had the array notes memorized anyway. Plus, it was already late at night.
“Yes, sir,” said Gongxi Kuangdao and the others respectfully.
Just as they were about to return to camp, they stopped in unison.
“Who is it?!” Gongxi Kuangdao faced a direction and shouted.
Ling Chuxi sensed it too. Ever since she practised the Mind Training Chant, her six senses had become unusually sharp. Thus, she had also noticed a few people sneaking into camp. However, Gongxi Kuangdao had obviously never practised the Mind Training Chant before and yet was still able to discover their whereabouts. This could only mean that his sense of danger was far beyond that of an ordinary person.
However, who could they be?
The night was dark so even with the Mind Training Chant, Ling Chuxi could not see them clearly. She could only detect that the strangers weren’t too old and were pretty strong.
Gongxi Kuangdao obviously could not determine the other party’s strength. He held a blade in one hand as if he was facing a great enemy. He guarded Ling Chuxi’s side vigilantly, acting like a personal bodyguard.
Ling Chuxi rolled her eyes secretly. ‘Your strength is not even as good as mine yet you’re putting on this posture as if I’m weak.’
Although she knew the reason Gongxi Kuangdao was so nervous about her was mainly because he wanted to the Spiritual Treasure Mirror, she didn’t bother to say anything out loud since he was acting pretty loyal.
A light breeze blew past and Ling Yichen had arrived by Ling Chuxi’s side. It was obvious that he had also noticed something strange.
Gongxi Kuangdao was exceptionally loud in the night. Su Yizhi and the others were startled awake and rushed over as fast as they could.
Su Yanhua and the others lit torches, illuminating their surroundings.
“Chuxi, what happened?” asked Su Yizhi.
They were at the borders of the Qianzhong Ridge, so Su Yizhi didn’t dare to be careless.
“Someone is approaching, but they don’t seem to be that strong. Don’t worry.” Ling Chuxi assured the others.
“Someone is approaching?!” Lan Xinyu, Su Yanhua, and the others’ eyes lit up at the same time.
These days, they had been hoping to find someone to practice with, but unfortunately, they didn’t have the opportunity. Now that someone had taken the initiative to come to their doorstep, they naturally couldn’t wait. As for the strength of the other party, they weren’t worried at all. Ling Chuxi already said so, so why should they?
“Come out, I know you’re here,” said Ling Chuxi indifferently as she turned around.
Lan Xinyu and the others looked in the same direction as Ling Chuxi with faces full of excitement.
“You guys managed to detect us even under such circumstances. Brothers, come out.” A person laughed, and as soon as he spoke, a few figures came out of the bushes not far away.
These people were not old, probably around twenty-four or twenty-five years old. They were dressed in black, and their style was obviously different from that of the disciples of the sect. They were simple, capable, and had an invisible viciousness.
This viciousness was exactly what Su Yanhua and the others lacked. In fact, it was also what the disciples of the various great sects lacked. The Sacred Realm of the Sects had maintained superficial peace for thousands of years. They had lived in luxury and considered themselves to be the future of the sect. Thus, they rarely had the chance to experience a true life-and-death battle. No matter how strong they were, there was not much bloody killing intent on their bodies.
The strangers had obviously come from Qianzhong Ridge. Only such a place where people fought for survival could hone such ruthlessness.
However, it seemed that they did not come with good intentions.
