In the depths of the forest, there was an open space filled with gravel. Many tents had spread out and formed a camp. The camp was decorated in the ancient forest that was filled with greenery.
There were many figures in the camp and it seemed particularly lively. Moreover, there were people guarding the high ground around the camp. Their vigilant gazes constantly scanned the situation around the camp.
"Sister Ye is back!"
Suddenly, a cry rang out within the campsite. Immediately, a commotion broke out within the campsite as quite a number of people stood up. Their eyes were filled with excitement as they looked outside of the campsite. Dozens of figures were swiftly rushing over from that spot, before landing within the campsite.
"Sister Ye!"
Looking at the beautiful girl in an apricot-yellow dress who was the leader of the group, many respectful shouts rang out in the campsite.
Facing the crowd, Ye Qingling smiled. Then, she turned around and said to Mu Chen who was behind her: "This is the temporary resting place of our Ye Clan. Everyone here is quite nice."
Mu Chen nodded his head. He looked around and saw many people looking at him curiously and kindly.
"They seem to respect you very much."
Mu Chen said. He was slightly surprised. Although it was not difficult for Ye Qingling to gain respect with her Spirit Stage strength, he could feel that the people here respected Ye Qingling from the bottom of their hearts.
"Hehe, Sister Ye is a good person. If it wasn't for her, many of us here would have been snatched away by other forces. Ever since she formed the Ye Clan, we have gradually become better." Wang Sheng, who was behind him, laughed.
"Most of the people who formed the other forces only wanted to snatch the symbols of other students. However, Sister Ye did not do so.
She led us to hunt Spiritual Beasts and search for worldly treasures. Moreover, when we obtained these items, Sister Ye distributed most of them to us. "
A hint of surprise flashed through Mu Chen's eyes.
No wonder these people respected Ye Qingling so much.
"I have the strength of a Spirit Stage, so it is easy for me to raise my symbol to Rank 4. However, it is different for the others.
If we don't gather them together, it will be easy for them to lose their accumulation and be eliminated. "Ye Qingling said softly.
"You don't have much ambition, but this will also slow down the efficiency of upgrading your mark," Mu Chen said.
"Increasing the level of the mark only means that you will have a better position and resources in Hokuang Reiwon. These things can be slowly obtained in the future, but if you are eliminated, there will be no more opportunities," Ye Qingling said.
Mu Chen shrugged. Since Ye Qingling didn't care about this, he obviously couldn't say anything more.
For a girl.
To be able to do this …
He was indeed a little impressed.
Ye Qingling lightly waved her small hand, dismissing the crowd. Then, she pulled Sun 'er to the side of a bonfire.
He took out some ingredients and personally prepared some food for Sun 'er.
"Just follow us for the next few days.
We are also heading towards the Northern Heavens Palace. At the same time, we will search for traces of Spiritual Beasts and Worldly Treasures along the way. Perhaps you will be interested. "While she was skillfully preparing the grilled food for Sun 'er, Ye Qingling smiled at Mu Chen and said.
"Also, with you here, Ge Qing won't dare to do anything to you. Wait for a few days until they give up, or when you are far away from them. Then, you will be able to move freely. How about it?"
Mu Chen smiled and didn't say anything. It seemed that even she thought that he followed them because he needed some protection.
When Mu Chen arrived at the Ye Clan's tent, Ge Qing had a gloomy expression on his face as he led his men back to a campsite on a hillside a distance away.
"Hehe, Ge Qing is back?
It seems like he was bullied? "In the middle of the campsite, a sturdy man looked at Ge Qing's expression and couldn't help but laugh.
"In this area, there is still someone who dares to disrespect our Ge Clan?"
Ge Qing sat down angrily. He gritted his teeth and said: "It's the Ye Clan's people. I just met Ye Qingling. How unlucky."
"Oh?
You even met Ye Qingling?
Hehe, actually, Ye Qingling is really beautiful and strong. If you can conquer her, it would be a joy in life. "Someone said in surprise.
"Tch, with just you?
Ye Qingling has the strength of a Spirit Stage. Among us, aside from the boss, who can be her opponent? "Someone sneered.
"Big brother."
Ge Qing ignored them and looked at the middle of the crowd. There was a man who had his head lowered and was looking at the dark red long blade in his hand. The man was slightly older than the others. He had long hair and looked especially mature. Moreover, there was a faint killing intent emitting from him that made people stay away from him.
"The Ye Clan is too much. They don't even put you in their eyes."
The man who was looking at the dark red long blade smiled faintly and raised his head. When he raised his head, a hideous scar was revealed. The scar extended from the corner of his left eye all the way to his neck. It was as if his face was split into two.
This scar was like a ferocious centipede, causing the man to instantly become fierce and stern.
"Why do we have to provoke the Ye Clan?
Ye Qingling is quite capable. Moreover, she came from the Spiritual Road. It's best not to offend her. "Ge Hai smiled faintly.
When Ge Qing saw that Ge Hai had no intention of helping him, he could only mutter: "I have never thought of doing anything to the Ye Clan. It's just that Mu Chen is not a member of the Ye Clan. How could they go against our Ge Clan for him?"
Chi!
The dark red blade suddenly slashed across Ge Hai's palm, and fresh blood immediately flowed out. Everyone at the side suddenly quietened down, and even Ge Qing shut his mouth. He looked at Ge Hai, who was lowering his head to look at the wound on his palm. At this moment, the latter's body suddenly emitted a dark and ruthless aura that he had never seen before.
"Big brother, I … Did I say something wrong?"
Ge Qing swallowed his saliva and said in fear. This was the first time he had seen such a terrifying aura from Ge Hai.
Ge Hai slowly raised his head. The hideous scar on his face seemed to squirm, making him look extremely terrifying. His eyes stared at Ge Qing as a trace of scarlet gushed out from his eyes.
"What did you just say his name was?"
Ge Qing's body stiffened for a moment. He said: "Mu Mu Chen."
Ge Hai's body also slightly trembled as if he was suppressing something. "Tell me what he looks like."
Ge Qing was quite frightened by Ge Hai's current state.
The surrounding people also sensed that something was wrong. They did not even dare to breathe loudly. Then, Ge Qing honestly described Mu Chen's appearance.
When Ge Qing's voice fell, the entire camp was deathly silent.
Only Ge Hai's increasingly heavy breathing and his increasingly scarlet eyes could be heard. His expression was somewhat fearful.
Some madness, some uncontrollable hatred.
"He is currently at the Spiritual Rotation Stage Late Phase?"
Ge Hai raised his head and stared at Ge Qing with his scarlet eyes. Without waiting for the latter to nod, he muttered: "That's right. He did not experience the last step of the Spiritual Road. His strength will definitely be lagging behind. Hehe, Spiritual Rotation Stage Late Phase. Hehe."
"Big brother, what's wrong?"
Ge Qing was shocked by Ge Hai's neurotic smile.
He cautiously said.
Ge Hai grinned at Ge Qing.
His smile was terrifying.
He slowly stroked the hideous scar on his face with his bloodstained palm and said: "Is Mu Chen with the Ye Gang now?"
"Yes." Ge Qing nodded repeatedly.
Ge Hai suddenly stood up and his eyes swept across the crowd like a wolf.
He coldly said: "Gather everyone and immediately head to the Ye Gang's camp.
Everyone get ready. If the Ye Gang dares to obstruct us, we will annihilate them! "
Everyone was shocked. Was he going to fight with the Ye Gang?
What happened to the boss?
In the past, he was still amiable towards the Ye Gang. Why did he suddenly have such a strong killing intent?
However, despite the doubts in their hearts, they did not dare to object at this moment. Immediately, they hurriedly dispersed, causing the entire campsite to fall into chaos.
"Big brother, you, you know that Mu Chen?" Ge Qing cautiously asked.
"I know, of course I know him."
Ge Hai's fingers scratched the scar on his face. His eyes were filled with deep fear and hatred.
"The scar on my face was left by him."
Ge Qing, who was at the side, was dumbfounded. He immediately felt his scalp go numb. He had always admired Ge Hai the most. However, he did not expect that the seemingly gentle youth could actually injure Ge Hai to this extent.
Where did he come from?
The Ye Gang's camp.
The entire camp was in a state of excitement. Sun 'er's arrival added a little more joy to the camp. Everyone was extremely fond of this cute and innocent little girl.
Beside the bonfire, Wang Sheng was holding a bowl of wine. He raised it at Mu Chen and drank it in one gulp. His face was flushed red. He excitedly patted his chest and said: "Brother Mu Chen, don't be afraid. With us here, the Ge Gang will not dare to do anything."
"That's right. You are Sister Ye's friend, so you are also our friend. As long as we are here, we will definitely not let the Ge Gang touch you." Someone at the side echoed.
Previously, the news of Mu Chen and Ge Qing's conflict had been spread by Wang Sheng and the others. Regarding this, many Ye Gang members expressed their support for Mu Chen and appeared to be extremely enthusiastic.
Mu Chen smiled faintly. These Ye Gang members were probably influenced by Ye Qingling. Overall, they gave off a good impression and it was easy to have a good impression of them.
"Don't try to take everything. You guys aren't even as powerful as him."
Ye Qingling walked over and chided them with a smile. Then, she smiled at Mu Chen and said: "Don't mind them too much. They are just like that. They like to boast after drinking."
Mu Chen shook his head and said: "It's pretty good."
Ye Qingling's eyes quietly looked at Mu Chen and softly smiled: "I don't know why, but I feel that you are not that simple."
"The strength of a Spiritual Rotation Stage Late Phase should not be that complicated."
Mu Chen laughed. A girl's intuition could sometimes be a rather scary thing. However, he was not interested in exposing himself too much.
Ye Qingling's jade-like hand brushed aside the black hair in front of her forehead. Although Mu Chen appeared to be only at the Spiritual Rotation Stage Late Phase, the latter's temperament made her feel that the latter was not as simple as he looked. However, since Mu Chen was not interested in talking about it, she was considerate and did not ask any further.
Mu Chen stretched his waist and stood up. Just as he was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed. His black pupils sharply looked outside the camp.
Woo woo!
At this moment, an alarm suddenly rang out from the high ground around the camp, echoing throughout the entire camp.
All the Ye Gang members suddenly stood up and hurriedly looked at the forest outside the camp. A large number of people suddenly rushed over and almost surrounded the entire camp.
Everyone's expression changed as they looked at those people. Immediately, they saw the red silk wrapped around their arms.
"It's the Ge Gang!"
(I will return tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, I will go all out.
I hope to get two monthly tickets in advance. Don't let the gap become too large.
Thank you everyone.)
