Wen Qingxuan's words had clearly caused Mu Chen's heart to violently jolt. Looking at the former, his gaze became somewhat strange. He finally understood the source of the strange feeling in his heart. From Wen Qingxuan's tone and actions, she clearly had some special feelings for Luo Li.
It seemed that a very special love rival had appeared in him?
Upon seeing Mu Chen's strange gaze, Wen Qingxuan did not mind it at all. On the contrary, she gave him a bewitching smile. That smile contained a charm that could cause the downfall of countries. This caused Mu Chen to helplessly sigh in his heart. You're a beauty, why do you have to play this game?
Wen Qingxuan generously held onto Luo Li's jade-like hand. She was extremely close to Luo Li, and the two of them seemed to be stuck together, appearing exceptionally intimate.
Luo Li was also a little astonished by Wen Qingxuan's intimate actions. However, she clearly did not think of anything strange. Therefore, although she felt a little uncomfortable, she did not reject it. She did not lack a favourable impression towards Wen Qingxuan. The latter was similarly outstanding, and had a rather free and unrestrained character. This was something that ordinary girls did not have.
However, Luo Li did not mind, while Mu Chen felt a little jealous. With a dry cough, he extended his hand to grab onto Luo Li's jade-like wrist, before pulling her over and separating her from Wen Qingxuan. With a smile, he said, "Captain Wen Qingxuan, when are we going to move?"
Seeing Mu Chen interrupt, Wen Qingxuan could not help but roll her eyes at Mu Chen. Her jade-like hand twirled her hair as she said in an indifferent voice, "Naturally, as soon as possible. Currently, the six Divine Plaques have already fallen into the hands of others. I believe that they have already sensed the location of the Divine Wood Palace.
Therefore, they were all rushing in that direction with all their might. This Divine Wood Palace ruins was not something ordinary ruins could compare to. There were many inheritances inside.
As long as one is able to obtain one, it will allow the strength of the group to soar. Therefore, no one is willing to give up on such a great opportunity. "
Mu Chen nodded slightly and said in a low voice, "Who has the other five God's Invitation Cards?"
"As far as I know, the Academy Alliance should have one, and the people from the Holy Spirit House and the Wu Ling Academy should have gotten the other two.
However, to be able to obtain the God's Invitation and protect it, one had to have extraordinary strength.
I don't think anyone will believe it. Therefore, the teams that will be competing for the Divine Wood Palace's remnant will definitely be relatively strong. "
Wen Qingxuan gazed into the distance.
"The Great Spiritual Academy Tournament has already entered the white-hot stage.
Those powerful groups that were hiding in the dark will start to reveal themselves one after another. This Great Spiritual Academy Tournament will be even more difficult than the past, with god knows how many hidden dragons and crouching tigers will be present. Even I don't have absolute confidence that I can win.
Otherwise, I wouldn't look for you guys to cooperate. "
"There are four leaders in the Academy Alliance.
I've seen three of them before, and none of them are easy to deal with. They're extremely strong, and their battle records are rather glorious. All of them have defeated experts that have passed their Spiritual Energy Disaster. "
Mu Chen's brows twitched. To be able to defeat experts of Spiritual Energy Disaster, it seemed that the three leaders of the Academy Alliance did have some tricks up their sleeves. At this stage, experts of Spiritual Energy Disaster could already hold their own, and those that could defeat experts of Spiritual Energy Disaster could be said to be at the pinnacle.
"What about the other leader?" Mu Chen asked in doubt. Wen Qingxuan seemed to have only mentioned the three leaders.
"The leader of the Academy Alliance is rather mysterious, and he's also the initiator of the alliance. I haven't seen him before, but he's able to make those three unruly leaders submit to him. I'm afraid that he'll be a formidable opponent." Wen Qingxuan said with her brows slightly knitted.
Mu Chen nodded his head as a grave expression appeared on his face. From the looks of it, the remnant of the Divine Wood Palace truly wasn't an easy task. Even someone as prideful as Wen Qingxuan appeared to be so cautious.
"Could the people from the Holy Spirit House be Ji Xuan's team?" Mu Chen's gaze suddenly flickered as he spoke.
"I'm not too sure about that. The four teams from the Holy Spirit House are led by four Holy Sons, and among the four Holy Sons, there are two that we need to pay attention to." Wen Qingxuan said as she glanced at Mu Chen.
"Oh?"
Mu Chen listened with interest. Wen Qingxuan's information was evidently more accurate than theirs. She even had such a deep understanding of the four Holy Sons from the Holy Spirit House.
"The four Holy Sons may seem to be evenly matched on the surface, but that's not the case. Among the four of them, first Holy Son Wang Zhong is the strongest, while the other one is Ji Xuan. He's the least experienced among the four Holy Sons, but at the same time, he's also the most unfathomable one. Perhaps you should know about this." Wen Qingxuan said.
"First Holy Son Wang Zhong." Mu Chen's eyes slightly narrowed. He had exchanged blows with one of the four Holy Sons, Xia Hou, and had even seriously injured him. In his opinion, besides Ji Xuan, the other Holy Sons should be on par with him. However, after hearing Wen Qingxuan's words, it was likely that Wang Zhong should be more careful.
"And the Holy Spirit House team that appeared in the Divine Wood Palace this time is likely to be led by either Wang Zhong or Ji Xuan." Wen Qingxuan said.
Mu Chen gently nodded his head. Regardless of whether it was Wang Zhong or Ji Xuan, they were both very troublesome opponents. Looks like the Divine Wood Palace ruins would become extremely lively this time.
"Take out the Divine Plaque in your hand. It's about time for us to move," said Wen Qingxuan as she looked towards Mu Chen.
Mu Chen didn't waste any more time. With a clench of his hand, the Divine Wood Plaque appeared in his hand. Circulating his Spiritual Energy, the Divine Wood Plaque instantly radiated with a jade-green brilliance. In the next instant, the top of the Divine Wood Plaque slowly tilted, pointing towards the north-west direction.
"The north-west?" Wen Qingxuan shot a look towards that direction, before nodding her head.
"Let's go."
Storing the Divine Wood Plaque, Mu Chen waved his hand and took the lead to shoot out. Transforming into a streak of light, he shot out. Behind him, Luo Li, Xu Huang and the rest immediately followed suit.
"Let's follow suit."
Said Wen Qingxuan with a faint smile. Leading the four flower-like girls, she followed suit.
The Shattered Continent was extremely vast. Although it was only a corner of the shattered and complete Shattered Continent, its vastness wasn't the slightest bit smaller than the Northern Heavens Continent. Therefore, during the journey of Mu Chen and the rest, they were still unable to reach the direction indicated by the Divine Wood Plaque.
After a total of five days, they were still unable to reach the direction indicated by the Divine Wood Plaque.
However, during these five days of travel, Mu Chen and the rest could clearly feel that the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament was gradually becoming more and more intense.
Along the way, they witnessed far too many battles of varying scales. The largest battle involved hundreds of teams. It was a battlefield of such scale.
That battlefield seemed to have spread over a thousand miles, with the rampant Spiritual Energy fluctuations radiating from it causing even the heavens and earth to change colour.
With regards to those fights.
Mu Chen and the rest only maintained a cold eye as they watched from the sidelines. They did not interfere and maintained their route, not even the slightest bit moved by the massive number of points that they might be able to obtain.
That's because he was very clear.
Now was still not the time to use unscrupulous methods for the sake of points.
Mu Chen and the rest did not go and provoke those groups. Similarly, there weren't any groups that came to provoke them. Naturally, the biggest reason for this was due to the Wen Qingxuan and the rest following beside Mu Chen and the rest. Faced against this tyrannical and frightening group that was ranked first in the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament rankings, there was clearly no one that dared to rashly provoke them.
Although Wen Qingxuan and the rest were too eye-catching …
While they were traveling smoothly.
Another three days quickly passed by as Mu Chen and the rest finally started to approach their destination. That's because Mu Chen could feel that the Divine Wood Plaque in his hand was growing increasingly bright. In fact, there was even a faint warmth gradually radiating from it.
All of these signs indicated that they were starting to get close to the genuine hidden remnant of the Divine Wood Palace.
"There's a very high possibility that the remnant of the Divine Wood Palace is located in that ancient mountain range two thousand miles away from here."
On a mountain peak, Mu Chen held onto the Divine Wood Plaque as he looked towards the north-western horizon. With a smile, he said, "According to our speed, we should be able to reach there by tomorrow."
"This should be the central region of the Shattered Continent."
Looking around with her beautiful eyes, Luo Li said in a soft voice, "The groups that have appeared here are getting stronger and stronger. I believe that there are already many groups that have been attracted to the location of the remnant of the Divine Wood Palace."
Mu Chen nodded his head. Along the way, they had seen quite a few groups heading in the same direction as them. Obviously, the location of the remnant of the Divine Wood Palace had already been exposed by others. Since that was the case, the fight for the treasures within the remnant would become even more chaotic.
Wen Qingxuan looked into the distance and said, "There should be a trading town five hundred miles ahead of us. Perhaps we can stop there for a while. This trading town is the largest one within a radius of several tens of thousands of miles. Many groups will gather there, and there are quite a few truly good items there, especially some Combat Spirit Pills. I think we will need them." Wen Qingxuan said as she looked into the distance.
"Combat Spiritual Pills are too extravagant."
Mu Chen rubbed his nose. Those Spiritual Pills that could increase one's combat prowess and rapidly recover one's Spiritual Energy were exceedingly expensive. If one wanted to exchange for them, one would definitely need to pay a hefty price. Although he had wanted to obtain some, those things were truly luxurious, and not everyone could afford them.
"I'm not asking you to pay for them," said Wen Qingxuan as she rolled her eyes at Mu Chen. Ignoring him, her lovable figure took a leap, shooting off.
Shrugging his shoulders in helplessness, Mu Chen brought his group and chased after her.
To Mu Chen and his group, the distance of five hundred miles did not require too much time. As the heavy mountain range swept past their feet, Mu Chen and his group were able to sense countless Spiritual Energy fluctuations suddenly appearing in the distance. Raising their heads, they saw countless rays of light hiding the skies and covering the earth as they swept past, before landing on the ground.
On the ground, a town that had clearly appeared not too long ago, yet wasn't small in size, quietly stood there. The direction that the countless rays of light were descending towards was precisely that small town.
Clearly, this should be the so-called transaction center that Wen Qingxuan had mentioned.
Looking at the flourishing small town, Mu Chen was also a little curious. Shortly after, he waved his hand and was about to bring everyone down.
However, just as he was about to move, he discovered that Luo Li's figure had suddenly come to a halt. At this moment, a faint smile was present on the latter's absolutely beautiful face, while a slightly chilling aura was present.
Luo Li's chilling gaze shot past Mu Chen, looking towards a mountain peak in the distance. On the mountain peak, a dozen figures could faintly be seen. Looking over, Mu Chen faintly wrinkled his forehead. There seemed to be two or three groups present there, with all of them appearing rather unfamiliar. However, all of them were wearing blood-red robes, appearing exceedingly glaring.
Fluctuations that caused Mu Chen to feel extremely uncomfortable radiated from their bodies.
"What's wrong?" asked Wen Qingxuan in a soft voice, noticing the blood-red clothed groups that seemed to be staring at them.
Gently clenching her Luo God Sword, Luo Li looked towards Mu Chen and slowly said, "It's the people from the Blood God Clan."
Mu Chen's eyes instantly narrowed. One of the four God Clans of the Western Heavenly World, the Blood God Clan?
He never imagined that even they would send people to participate in the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament. Was it because of Luo Li?
(Yesterday and today were the first watch. Therefore, the third watch will be added tomorrow and the day after.)
(To be continued.)
