Chapter 404: Teasing in Public

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Killing off the ‘new blood’ of the sects, his revenge could be said to be half successful.

The corners of Gu Xi’s mouth lifted slightly. He could already imagine the furious expressions of those people at that time. He could not help but feel great.

Without further thought, Gu Xi put away the brainstorm and gradually entered into cultivation.

He had just broken through to the intermediate Saint stage not long ago, so he naturally needed to get used to and calm down the soaring spiritual energy in his Dantian. It could also be considered as preparing for the upcoming competition.

As the darkness rose into the sky like a tide, the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion gradually fell into silence.

At the same time, in another room.

“Senior brother Hou, you must help me take revenge!”

Zhang Zhan, who was covered in wounds all over his body, collapsed on the bed with a miserable look on his face.

When he recalled that his spot had been taken away by a guy of unknown origin in public, he wished that he could tear Gu Xi into pieces!

Participating in the Grand Sect Competition was the wish of many cultivators. Such a good opportunity to stand out and become famous in one go had disappeared without a trace!

“Don’t worry, this matter will not be settled just like that.” Beside the bed, Hou Yu responded with a gloomy face.

In the entire Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, almost everyone knew that this Zhang Zhan was Hou Yu’s little brother. Now that his little brother’s place in the Grand Sect Competition had been taken away, and he had even received a fierce beating, if this big brother of his did not react… It would be hard to explain.

“Do you know the identity of the woman in green?” after a moment of silence, Hou Yu narrowed his eyes and asked.

Zhang Zhan shook his head blankly. They knew nothing about the origins of Gu Xi and the other two. They had not even figured out their names yet.

“To be able to get Tong Shan and Tang Conglin to agree to her participation in the qualifier, that woman’s background must not be underestimated.”

Hou Yu walked to the window and raised his head to look at the starry sky. One sect after another flashed through his mind, but they were all rejected one by one.

In the entire Eastern Continent, among all the sects he knew, he had not found any clues about Qing Zhu. Her appearance could be said to be on the level of a femme fatale. It was clear that she was someone extraordinary.

“Could it be… that she’s not from the Eastern Continent?”

After filtering through countless sects, Hou Yu’s eyes suddenly moved.

…

The next day, in the morning.

On the bustling street, Gu Xi was walking with sleepy eyes.

Early in the morning, he was dragged out by Qing Zhu, saying that she wanted him to accompany her to take a good look around Lanjiang City. He had wanted to take this opportunity to stabilize his cultivation state in the past two days, so he did not have the time.

“Lanjiang City looks much more prosperous than Jingyang City.”

Walking through the crowd, Qing Zhu turned her head and glanced at Gu Xi with a grin.

Coupled with her exquisite appearance, it could be said that she could topple cities with a smile. She immediately attracted the gazes of many passersby around her. Of course, there were also some unkind gazes among them.

Gu Xi coughed a few times. He naturally knew why these unkind gazes were directed at him. He turned his head and glanced at Little Nine, who was following closely by the side, and shook his head helplessly.

It was difficult not to attract the attention of others when there were two great beauties accompanying him.

Gu Xi put away his other thoughts and only then began to pay attention to the surroundings. He discovered that compared to the state they had been in yesterday, the flow of people in Lanjiang City could be said to have only increased. The streets were crowded with people.

If it was just the flow of people, it would not matter much. However, from what he could sense, four or five of these people were cultivators with extraordinary cultivations.

Obviously, the vast majority of them were cultivators who had come to participate in the competition.

Not only that, he also sensed the fluctuations of some cultivators whose strength was no different from his own. There were even some who even gave him a sense of danger. However, he did not know whether the owners of these auras were the competitors who had come to participate in the competition or the elders of the sects who came with them.

Of course, the latter was the most likely, but it did not mean that the former was not there.

“There are many people in this world. There are really crouching tigers and hidden dragons.” Gu Xi smacked his lips, and there was some emotion in his voice. “I just don’t know if we can be considered the greatest dark horse in this Grand Sect Competition.”

“Hey, there’s actually such a beautiful girl in this Lanjiang City?”

Just as Gu Xi was guessing the identity of the owner of those auras, a wretched voice was suddenly transmitted from a short distance away from the three of them. Moreover, this voice was getting closer and closer.

Gu Xi and the other two frowned. They immediately turned their heads to look in the direction of the voice. They saw a group of six to seven burly men with lewd smiles on their faces as they walked over to where they were.

The person who had spoken just now was the leader of the group. There was an obvious scar on the man’s face. His eyes were long and narrow. When he smiled, they would even cause the scar to tremble. This man could not help but speak in a lewd manner.

“Ho ho ho, I was too far away to see clearly just now. I did not expect that you would be so beautiful and have such a good figure. You are really a stunner!”

Coming closer, the man sized up the two girls, Qing Zhu and Little Nine. At this moment, his eyes were like a weasel who had seen a chicken, shining brightly.

“Miss, I am Liu Wu. How about following me?” The man chuckled and patted his chest. “I promise to make you wish you were dead!”

As soon as he said this, the remaining people behind him could not help but laugh out loud. Their gazes swept over the two girls’ amazing figures, as if they were going to eat the two of them.

The surrounding pedestrians had also moved to the side. Some chose to watch from the side with cold eyes, while some had regretful faces. Basically, no one chose to step forward.

Qing Zhu and Gu Xi frowned in the face of Liu Wu’s public humiliation.

“Get lost if you don’t want to die.” Gu Xi by the side spoke with a solemn face before Qing Zhu could open her mouth.

This caused the two ladies to involuntarily glance at him.

“Where did this dog come from? How dare he speak to me in such a manner?!”

Liu Wu glanced at Gu Xi in front of him and laughed disapprovingly. Immediately, he extended his hand and grabbed at Qing Zhu’s wrist. Clearly, he wanted to use force.

Gu Xi frowned and was about to make a move. However, he immediately sensed the circulation of the spiritual energy within Qing Zhu’s body. Clearly, the latter was prepared to personally teach this guy a lesson.

In that case, Gu Xi also gave up the idea of stopping her.

Crack —

“Ahhhhhh –”
