When Mu Chen and the rest knew that Wen Qingxuan and her group had encountered big trouble, they were undoubtedly shocked. After all, they had cooperated with Wen Qingxuan for a period of time. Naturally, they were extremely clear about the astonishing strength that the latter possessed. Although they had never seen Wen Qingxuan take action without holding anything back, even Mu Chen had to admit that if he were to truly cross hands with Wen Qingxuan, even he wouldn't dare to say that he would have an absolute chance of victory.
This haughty phoenix from Wanhuang Lingyuan not only possessed a devastatingly beautiful appearance that could cause the downfall of countries, her talent was similarly sufficient to cause countless geniuses to be overshadowed.
According to Mu Chen's conjecture, although there were many powerful groups appearing in the current Great Spiritual Academy Tournament, those that were able to contend against Wen Qingxuan were, after all, extremely few. Furthermore, Mu Chen was truly unable to think of anyone that was able to truly cause such great trouble for her.
Therefore, harboring such bewilderment in their hearts, Mu Chen and the rest made some slight inquiries. Therefore, an unfamiliar name landed in their ears.
Xiao Huang.
"Xiao Huang?
Who's that fellow? "
Upon hearing that unfamiliar name, Xu Huang and the rest instantly spoke out in doubt. They had never heard of that name before.
"The mysterious Head Leader of the Academy Alliance is called Xiao Huang," replied Luo Li in a soft voice.
"Academy Alliance?"
The faces of Xu Huang and the rest instantly contorted. The relationship between them and the Academy Alliance couldn't be considered to be friendly. However, those fellows had been dealt with rather miserably by Mu Chen in the Divine Wood Palace ruins. Who would have thought that there would be such a formidable figure within the Academy Alliance?
"Even if this Xiao Huang is more formidable, it's impossible for him to truly cause great trouble for Wen Qingxuan, right?
With the latter's strength, there might be people within the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament that could contend against her. However, it would absolutely be extremely difficult to trap her, "muttered Mu Chen with a slight frown on his face.
"It's said that Wen Qingxuan is not the only one trapped. Pin 'er, Le' er, and the other two teams from Wanhuang Lingyuan are also trapped."
Shooting a look at Mu Chen, Luo Li continued, "Furthermore, that Xiao Huang is also a Spiritual Array Master. Furthermore, his attainments in this aspect are extremely high."
"Oh?" Mu Chen narrowed his eyes. This was a little unexpected.
"It seems like the jade plate that Cuttlefish and the others used in the Hidden Spiritual Courtyard that could shield the Spirit Sealing Array should be his handiwork."
Said Mu Chen slowly, while a slightly peculiar expression appeared within his eyes. The Spiritual Array on the jade plate was exceedingly ingenious. From the looks of it, its creator wouldn't be an ordinary person. Indeed, this Xiao Huang's ability isn't shallow.
"According to the news that's spreading out, as of now, Wen Qingxuan and the rest have been trapped by the Spiritual Array that Xiao Huang has meticulously arranged, and are unable to extricate themselves," said Luo Li.
"As long as that Xiao Huang's attainments in Spiritual Arrays haven't reached the level of a Spiritual Array Grandmaster, he absolutely won't be able to trap Wen Qingxuan by herself. However, if there's other people by Wen Qingxuan's side, it's hard to say."
Said Mu Chen in a deep voice. With Wen Qingxuan's strength, it might be a thorny problem for her to truly escape. However, it was absolutely not impossible. However, the problem was that there were still the other teams from Wanhuang Lingyuan by her side. Those people were unable to easily escape. Therefore, it was impossible for Wen Qingxuan to abandon them and escape by herself.
"This Xiao Huang truly has some good methods," said Mu Chen in an indifferent tone.
Hearing this, Luo Li gently nodded his head. Clearly, Xiao Huang was using this opportunity to obstruct Wen Qingxuan. After all, within a Spiritual Array, numbers weren't an advantage at times, and would instead become a burden. Therefore, as long as Wen Qingxuan wasn't ruthless enough to abandon her team members, she would continue to drag on, all the way until she was unable to endure any longer.
This was clearly something that Xiao Huang was happy to see.
"It's said that Wen Qingxuan and the rest have already been trapped for three days. However, that Xiao Huang is also very strange. From start to end, he's only trapping them, and hasn't taken any action," said Luo Li in a soft voice filled with doubt.
Faintly wrinkling his forehead, Mu Chen went silent for a moment, before saying, "I believe that their target might not only be Wen Qingxuan."
Hearing this, Xu Huang and the rest gawked, before asking in astonishment, "Not only Wen Qingxuan, could it be?"
Hearing this, their faces fiercely contorted, as they couldn't be more clear about the grudges and grudges between them and the Academy Alliance. Within the Divine Wood Palace ruins, all of the Academy Alliance's plans had been destroyed by them. Furthermore, the final three leaders of the Academy Alliance had been forced to flee miserably by Mu Chen. Such grudges and grudges weren't light at all. If Xiao Huang was the great leader of the Academy Alliance, he would definitely not swallow this down.
Therefore, if the Academy Alliance wasn't targeting Wen Qingxuan, they would definitely be the first to bear the brunt.
"Xiao Huang has only surrounded and not attacked Wen Qingxuan. This might be due to the fact that Wen Qingxuan isn't weak. However, I believe that there's a rather large possibility that he's trying to lure us over. Haha, this Xiao Huang truly has a big appetite," said Mu Chen with a smile, one that contained a slight chilling intent.
"What should we do?" asked Xu Huang as he looked towards Mu Chen.
Slightly narrowing his eyes, Mu Chen spoke out in a calm tone after a long while, "Since they're expecting us to come knocking on their door, we naturally can't disappoint them. Coincidentally, we're in need of a large amount of points. I believe that this Academy Alliance might be able to let us eat until we're full."
Mu Chen didn't want to avoid such a matter. Without mentioning the fact that they still owed Wen Qingxuan a promise to help her obtain the First Rank, just the other party putting out such a formation to invite them to a fight was something that they couldn't avoid. He believed that there might already be people from various factions paying attention to this matter. After all, regardless of whether it was Wen Qingxuan or Xiao Huang, both of them possessed considerable weight in the current Great Spiritual Academy Tournament. Their confrontation would definitely attract a lot of attention.
"Okay!"
Xu Huang and the other two immediately nodded their heads in agreement. Although they knew that the Academy Alliance was able to trap Wen Qingxuan and the rest, what kind of dangerous situation had they not rushed through under Mu Chen's lead over the past few months?
Furthermore, they didn't believe that Mu Chen would lose to the Head Commander of the Academy Alliance.
Luo Li also nodded her head in agreement. After all, she had a friendly relationship with Wen Qingxuan. Since the latter was in trouble, they should do their best to provide some assistance.
"Let's go!"
Seeing that no one objected, Mu Chen didn't delay any longer. With a wave of his hand, he shot straight towards the central region of the shattered continent, with Luo Li, Xu Huang and the other two immediately following behind him.
In the following day, Mu Chen and the rest didn't make any more stops. Pushing their speed to the limits, they rapidly rushed towards the central region.
As they got closer and closer to the vast region, Mu Chen and the rest finally started to feel the chaos in this region. That's because there were more and more groups appearing in this region, with the majority of them possessing decent strength. All of them were deeply vigilant and greedy towards each other, causing them to be akin to barrels of gunpowder that had swelled to their limits. As long as they were the slightest provocation, they would completely explode.
Therefore, every time two groups came into contact with each other, an intense battle would definitely erupt.
If they wanted to advance, they would need to defeat their opponents. In this region, only the victors would be able to advance.
The survival of the fittest was being played out in great detail in this place.
Under such a chaotic situation, even Mu Chen and the rest were met with obstructions. The greedy gazes of some of the groups that boasted of their strength had also taken notice of them. Facing those groups that had targeted them, Mu Chen didn't show the slightest bit of courtesy. Therefore, those that dared to take action would be mercilessly defeated in a domineering manner, before taking away half of the points in their hands.
With these fat sheep that had voluntarily delivered themselves to their doorstep, the points of Mu Chen and the rest had increased by over two to three thousand points within the short span of a day. Speaking of which, it could be said that they had gained quite a bountiful harvest.
Naturally, such an increase in points was nothing much for the top 16 on the point rankings. That's because the points of the current top 16 would seemingly change at any time. The increase in points would roughly exceed five thousand.
However, after a day, the points of Mu Chen and the rest gradually came to a stop. After experiencing one failure after another, those groups that had advanced in succession had finally started to understand how troublesome the group before them was. It was simply not a level that they could deal with.
Therefore, they, who had finally felt fear, had no choice but to completely cover up their greedy gazes, not daring to take action against Mu Chen and the rest anymore.
Without those obstructions, the footsteps of Mu Chen and the rest had stepped into the exceedingly vast central region on the second day. This place had already become the focal point of the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament.
Just as Mu Chen and the rest had stepped into the central region, they had once again obtained some information.
During these two days, the Academy Alliance was still trapping Wen Qingxuan and the rest. Similarly, they had surrounded them, but did not attack. However, this time, the Academy Alliance had publicly announced a challenge, which was directed towards Mu Chen and the rest.
Mu Chen, I, Xiao Huang, will wait for you to break the array and save them.
It was just a short declaration from the Academy Alliance, yet it had caused enormous waves to surge within the central region, with many powerful groups feeling somewhat doubtful towards it. After all, as of now, the group led by Xiao Huang had already reached the 9th place, and had even managed to trap Wen Qingxuan. Therefore, he could absolutely be considered as having an illustrious reputation within the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament.
As for Mu Chen?
That name was something that the majority of people were unfamiliar with. After all, Mu Chen had only slightly revealed himself within the Top 16, before disappearing without a trace. Even till now, he was still unable to enter the Top 16. Therefore, there were many people who were rather unfamiliar with him.
However, although they were unfamiliar with him, anyone that could be invited to a fight by the head of the Academy Alliance would definitely not be an ordinary person. This had attracted the interest of the various groups. Therefore, numerous groups started to rapidly rush towards that region.
It was also at this moment that Mu Chen had received the declaration that was filled with provocation.
Therefore, he gave a faint smile, but did not say anything else. With a wave of his hand, a calm voice rang out.
"Let's go, we'll break the array and save them."
