Due to Celestial Traveler's death, Hei Zhao and Lan Feng dared not recklessly enter East Lake.
But now, Thousand Mechanism Lake is the territory of the Covering Sky Pavilion.
How dare these mere four come here?
Whoosh—
The two transformed into a streak of light, arriving swiftly at the city gate.
As the two hovered above the city tower, overlooking Wen Pingchong and the others, the panicked people of Vast City gradually stopped in their tracks.
The Earth Unrestricted experts from Covering Sky Pavilion have arrived.
What is there to fear?
"To suddenly attack outside Vast City, hoping to catch us by surprise, what a joke, there are Earth Unrestricted experts from Covering Sky Pavilion in the city!"
"Wait, is that Chen Xie?"
"It's actually Chen Xie, that traitor!"
"Traitor Chen Xie, actually dares to return. The Hundred Sects Alliance treated you well, yet you betrayed and sided with Immortal Sect."
"Traitor Chen Xie, prepare to die!"
Many who recognized Chen Xie angrily accused him.
Their hatred toward Immortal Sect was profound.
But their hatred towards the traitor was even deeper, to the bone.
Especially knowing that now Chen Xie's intelligence network served Immortal Sect, providing them with information, their hate intensified.
Truly an unworthy rogue!
When did the Hundred Sects Alliance ever mistreat him?
Yet he's so heartless and treacherous.
Hei Zhao and Lan Feng, hearing that one of the four was a traitor from the Hundred Sects Alliance, couldn't help but look at Chen Xie with interest.
Not rushing to act just yet.
Since the four are meat on the chopping board, it doesn't matter if they are served sooner or later.
Amid the surrounding voices of accusation and curses, Chen Xie remained indifferent, gave a slight chuckle, and calmly responded, "You aren't me, so how do you know that joining Immortal Sect is betrayal? You aren't me, how do you know the Hundred Sects Alliance treated me well?"
Chen Xie countered with two questions.
Which only led to more accusations.
Chen Xie wanted to continue responding, but Wen Pingchong stopped him.
Wen Pingchong glanced around, then said, "Why bother explaining to them? If you live your life constantly explaining your actions to others, isn't that boring? Besides, they simply want to criticize and vent at you, no matter what you say, it's the same."
Chen Xie nodded, then looked towards the sky at Hei Zhao and Lan Feng, and said in a deep voice to Wen Pingchong and the others, "The one in black on the left is called Hei Zhao, the one in blue on the right is named Lan Feng. According to their own words, the strength of the two is comparable to Celestial Traveler."
Hei Zhao and Lan Feng, upon hearing this.
Suddenly froze.
According to their own words?
Did Chen Xie really plant spies around them?
How is that possible?
Anyone appearing in his dwelling place was brought by him from Covering Sky Pavilion.
Could it be some other means?
"What an impressive tactic, even knowing what I say. It seems your purpose in coming here today is related to last night's events, right?" Hei Zhao was startled by Chen Xie's tactics, but was unconcerned, in the face of absolute strength, what use are such petty tricks?
Chen Xie did not reply.
Wen Pingchong spoke then, "Only has Celestial Traveler's strength?"
Regarding Celestial Traveler's combat ability as Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted, Wen Pingchong didn't even bother asking the system to view the brief info of Hei Zhao and Lan Feng.
What Vein Technique they cultivate.
What Spirit Body they cultivate.
It all doesn't matter.
"Sword Demon, pick one."
Wen Pingchong addressed Sword Demon.
Sword Demon, still yearning for more after his battle with Celestial Traveler, lit up with joy upon being told by the Sect Leader to choose one.
Like picking a favorite item in a shop.
Sword Demon gazed at Hei Zhao and Lan Feng for a moment, then said, "I heard the name Hei Zhao on the battlefield before. Today, let me meet him!"
Upon hearing this, Hei Zhao, originally ignored and angry, burst into laughter, as if hearing the greatest joke.
"Sword Demon, to want to meet me means death! I may not be stronger than Celestial Traveler, but you aren't capable of provoking me."
