Under the countless gazes, a dozen figures stepped through the air and arrived. In the end, they hovered in the air above the region, attracting countless gazes.
At the same time, Mu Chen's gaze also shot over. Soon after, his gaze focused on the figure at the front. It was a young man dressed in white clothes. The young man's long hair was casually draped over his shoulders. A gentle breeze blew against his long hair, causing his white robes and black hair to flutter, making him appear rather elegant. A brilliant smile hung on his handsome face, causing him to appear exceedingly friendly.
"He should be the most famous First Holy Son amongst the four Chosens of the Holy Spirit House, Wang Zhong, right?"
Mu Chen stared at that person as he slowly said. From the latter's body, he could sense a rather powerful Spiritual Energy ripple. That ripple was several times stronger than ordinary experts who had passed their Spiritual Energy Disaster.
This person's strength was rather tyrannical.
Standing beside him, Wen Qingxuan's beautiful eyes shot a glance at that person, before she gently nodded her head and said, "Yes, he is Wang Zhong, one of the four Chosens of the Holy Spirit House. His reputation is the strongest, and he is also the most experienced one amongst the four Chosens. Some time ago, I even worked together with him once."
"Oh?" Mu Chen was stunned. He never imagined that Wen Qingxuan had worked together with Wang Zhong before.
"Then, isn't he also considered as your partner?" Mu Chen smiled as he asked.
"For the sake of benefits, we are only temporarily working together." Wen Qingxuan shot a charming smile towards Mu Chen and said, "Why?
Are you feeling uncomfortable?
Don't worry, we are now partners. Even if you have a conflict with them, I will still help you guys. "
Mu Chen rubbed his nose and said, "Your words have made me feel a little uneasy. Will you say the same words to others in the future when you work together with them?"
When Mu Chen's words landed, Wen Qingxuan's eyebrows instantly furrowed. However, very quickly, her slender eyebrows softened. She continued to smile as she looked at Mu Chen. However, that charming smile of hers was clearly hiding a sharp blade, "Of course. When that time comes, you will no longer be of any use to us. Do you believe that I will not only say the same words to you, but I will also chop you up?"
"Then let's wait for the finals."
Mu Chen felt a little creeped out by Wen Qingxuan's gaze as he laughed dryly. Soon after, his expression suddenly changed. That was because he felt a gaze filled with killing intent shooting towards him from the direction of Wang Zhong and the rest. Immediately, he shifted his gaze and saw a familiar figure.
Behind Wang Zhong, there was a familiar team. The person leading them was actually Xia Hou, who had fought with Mu Chen in the Divine Wood Palace branch division and was seriously injured by him!
"This fellow is really lucky."
Looking at Xia Hou's sinister gaze, Mu Chen could not help laughing out. Nevertheless, he wasn't worried about it. If it was before he had broken through to his Human Body Disaster, Xia Hou's strength would still be able to cause some trouble for him. However, as of now, if they were to cross hands again, Mu Chen would let the latter understand just how big of a gap there was between them.
At this moment, Mu Chen discovered that there were actually three teams in the Holy Spirit House's group.
Evidently, other than Ji Xuan, three of the four great Chosens of the Holy Spirit House had actually gathered here. With such a lineup, it could be said that they were pretty strong.
While Mu Chen and Xia Hou were staring at each other, Wang Zhong also tilted his head and looked over. When he saw Wen Qingxuan, who was beside Mu Chen, his eyes clearly brightened for a moment. Soon after, the smile on his face became even more radiant. With a wave of his sleeve, he actually led Xia Hou and the rest towards Mu Chen's group.
"Haha, Qingxuan, I did not expect you to be here as well."
Wang Zhong approached and smiled as he looked at Wen Qingxuan. His voice was filled with joy and gentleness.
When Wen Qingxuan heard the way he addressed her, her eyebrows slightly furrowed. Soon after, she gently nodded her head.
"You are also here because of the Divine Wood Palace ruins, right?
I see that there are so many experts here and it will not be easy to obtain the treasures. Why don't we work together again? "
Wang Zhong gently smiled. His smile contained a contagious confidence. That was his confidence in his own strength. Even though there were many experts here, Wang Zhong was no ordinary individual.
When Mu Chen saw that he was directly ignored, he helplessly smiled. He could tell that Wang Zhong was obviously interested in Wen Qingxuan. However, he was not surprised by this. After all, he clearly knew that given Wen Qingxuan's charm, it was difficult for any man to disregard her.
Moreover, Wang Zhong was indeed a very confident person. He should know that Wen Qingxuan was with them right now. However, he did not mind and directly said it out loud. That was because based on their lineup, they were definitely stronger than Mu Chen's group. If Wen Qingxuan chose to work together with them, it would greatly increase their chances of obtaining the treasures.
Wen Qingxuan was also slightly startled by Wang Zhong's suggestion. Soon after, she slightly furrowed her brows. In terms of strength, Wang Zhong was indeed more suitable. However, in terms of feelings, she was more inclined towards Mu Chen and Luo Li. After these few days of interaction, she had some understanding of Mu Chen. Even though this fellow seemed to be at the Human Body Disaster stage, he was still rather reliable. Most importantly, she did not need to worry that this kind of partner would secretly trip her up for some benefits.
There was definitely a rather tempting treasure in the Divine Wood Palace ruins. It was not that she had never seen partners who would tear apart their partnership and secretly take action because of a treasure. Even though she was not afraid of it, it was rather tiring to scheme against each other. However, for some unknown reason, she did not have to worry about Mu Chen's group.
Therefore, in the face of Wang Zhong's suggestion, she was momentarily placed in a difficult position. Her beautiful eyes looked towards Mu Chen. However, the latter had tilted his head and was even joking with Luo Li. His nonchalant manner caused her to involuntarily clench her teeth.
"That bastard!"
Wen Qingxuan clenched her teeth. Soon after, her beautiful eyes shifted as a somewhat shy smile surfaced on her pretty face. Her slender jadelike finger pointed towards Mu Chen and said, "I'm sorry, I have already cooperated with Mu Chen's group. Moreover, he is the one in charge. If you want to cooperate with us, you can look for him."
Mu Chen's and Luo Li's joking voices suddenly stopped. He was a little stunned as he turned his head and looked at the innocent Wen Qingxuan.
The brilliant smile on Wang Zhong's face froze for a moment. He had once cooperated with Wen Qingxuan and he had some understanding of the latter's character. She was a completely domineering person. Even if she cooperated with others, she would definitely take the lead. However, she was actually willing to let Mu Chen be the one in charge of her cooperation with Mu Chen?
Wang Zhong took a deep breath in his heart. Soon after, he looked towards Mu Chen and smiled brilliantly, "I believe you must be captain Mu Chen?
Haha, I have long heard of you guys. Truly, meeting you in person is not as good as hearing about you. "
Mu Chen gave a perfunctory smile. However, his eyes could not help but glare at Wen Qingxuan, who had pushed him out to be a shield.
"Captain Mu Chen, what do you think of my suggestion?"
Wang Zhong smiled and said, "We are all part of the Five Great Academies. If the three of us cooperate, I believe it will be quite beneficial for all of us."
Mu Chen took a glance at Wang Zhong and then looked at Xia Hou, who was glaring at him from behind. The Holy Spirit House and Hokuang Reiwon did not get along well. Furthermore, he had previously caused Xia Hou to be in such a miserable state. He did not believe that Wang Zhong would not know about this. If Wang Zhong knew about this, he would definitely bear a grudge. However, even so, he still had to swallow his pride and cooperate with them. Although such a person was scheming, he was definitely not the kind of partner that could be trusted with his back.
Mu Chen did not want to have to worry about hidden arrows shooting at him from the back while he was dealing with enemies.
Therefore, he could only smile and said, "Captain Wang Zhong, your team is too powerful and eye-catching. We only intend to take a look around the ruins. It would not be good for us to have such a powerful team like yours."
Wang Zhong's face couldn't help twitching as a chill flashed in the depths of his eyes. Mu Chen's excuse didn't have the slightest degree of credibility. That fellow didn't even find an excuse that could make others believe him. The rejection in his words was clear, Mu Chen wasn't willing to cooperate with them.
"You don't know what's good for you!" Xia Hou said coldly. The members of the Holy Spirit House also looked coldly at Mu Chen.
When Mu Chen heard this, he smiled faintly and said, "It seems like the lesson you received previously was not enough."
Xia Hou's gaze changed and the coldness in his eyes grew denser.
Wang Zhong waved his hand and stopped Xia Hou. He stared at Mu Chen and the brilliant smile on his face finally weakened. He gently smiled and said, "It seems like Captain Mu Chen is looking down on our Holy Spirit House?"
Mu Chen helplessly sighed. He looked at Wang Zhong and said seriously, "I really have no intention to cooperate with you guys. If you guys can take them away, I don't mind and will not stop you."
Wang Zhong stared at Mu Chen with a cold glint in the depths of his eyes. A faint killing intent was emitting from his body. Behind him, the three teams from the Holy Spirit House also emitted boundless Spiritual Energy. Clearly, they were about to make a move.
When Luo Li, Xu Huang and the rest saw this, their faces turned cold and they took half a step forward.
The atmosphere between the two parties instantly turned hostile. This caused quite a few gazes to be directed over. However, most of them had the mentality of watching a good show. After all, both parties weren't small fries. If they were to make a move, it would definitely be a heated battle.
Wang Zhong stared at Mu Chen and suddenly smiled. He stretched his hand out and patted Mu Chen's shoulder. He smiled and said, "Since Captain Mu Chen doesn't want to cooperate with us, then I will not force you. I will first wish Captain Mu Chen a smooth journey. However, this treasure hunt will be very dangerous, so Captain Mu Chen should be more careful."
"Thank you for your reminder, Captain Wang Zhong." Mu Chen smiled as he nodded his head.
Wang Zhong smiled as he shook his head. Shortly after, he turned around and left. However, when he turned around, the smile on his face had completely disappeared. Rage and killing intent flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Mu Chen looked at the departing silhouettes of Wang Zhong and his party and narrowed his eyes. Shortly after, he cast a glance at Xue Tiandou, who was coldly watching and rejoicing in Mu Chen's misfortune. He couldn't help flinging his lips aside. Great, all of them are enemies now.
Looks like this trip to the Divine Wood Palace will be fun.
(There will be another chapter, but it will be very late. I don't recommend waiting.
There will not be any rest this Saturday and Sunday. There will be two chapters a day to make up for the previous two days.)
