Chapter 248: The Hehuan Sect

Through Liu Qingqing’s explanation, Gu Xi had a rough idea of the Spirit-chasing Competition.

In general, the Spirit-chasing Competition could be said to be a gathering of the favored children of the younger generation in the entire southern continent. These favored children not only represented themselves, but also represented the sects and forces behind them.

From this, one could see how intense the competition would be!

Moreover, the location of the competition was set up in the ancient planar battlefield. In such a hellish place, it was commonplace for sects to kill each other in the name of the competition.

After all, as long as the opponent died, who could say who was the one who attacked first?

In the planar battlefield, many ancient cultivators could not help but be buried, and among them were many elites of the present day!

It was more appropriate to call it a burial ground!

“It seems that this so-called Spirit-chasing Competitionis not as easy as I imagined,” Gu Xi frowned slightly and muttered to himself.

Even so, he did not have the slightest intention of retreating.

I, Gu Xi, will definitely be the champion!

Listening to Gu Xi’s words, Cao Hua, who was at the side, thought that he was already afraid and could not help but sneer. He said, “If you are afraid now, you can go back to your Moyu Tower and hide. At least that way, you can still keep your life.”

Gu Xi laughed and glanced at Cao Hua coldly from the corner of her eyes. She replied, “Don’t worry. Since Elder Wu has already boasted for me in front of the disciples, I naturally have no reason to run away. As for you, I advise you not to have any wicked thoughts. Otherwise, when the competition is over, it is still unknown whether you will be able to return successfully.”

“Are you threatening me?” Cao Hua’s eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of coldness flashed through his eyes.

“So what?” Gu Xi smiled coldly. Then, he ignored him and sped up.

If it was not for the sake of Wu Nanshan, he would have slapped Cao Hua to death right now, in case something went wrong in the future.

However, he had no choice. After all, Wu Nanshan had done him a favor now, and Cao Hua was also the Medicine King Valley’s eldest disciple. He still had to give him this bit of face.

However, since he had already said that it was normal for several people to die in the planar battlefield. If Cao Hua really did not know what was good for him, Gu Xi did not mind burying him here forever.

In any case, no one would know that it was him who did it.

At the side, Liu Qingqing and Wang Shi were also confused when they heard their conversation. They could naturally see that there was some conflict between the two of them.

“You two…” Liu Qingqing opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but was pulled back by Wang Shi.

The latter shook his head, indicating that she should not meddle in other people’s business. Then, he pulled her to hurriedly follow Gu Xi and Little Jiu’s footsteps.

“Damn Gu Xi! When we enter the planar battlefield, I will definitely make you pay the price for every word you said!” Looking at their receding figures, Cao Hua gritted his teeth and said.

His eyes were filled with a shocking murderous intent.

However, the murderous intent disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

He snorted coldly and followed them as if nothing had happened. At least before entering the planar battlefield, he did not want to have a conflict with Gu Xi.

…

Two days passed quickly.

A group of five people also smoothly arrived at the big city where the Big Luo sect was located — Jiaping City!

Jiaping City had a large population, and its area was enough to rank in the top three in the entire Southern Continent. Among them, besides the Daluo Sect, there were also many big and small sects and powers that were rooted here.

Due to the Spirit-chasing Competition , the flow of people in Jiaping City had reached an astonishing number. The wide streets could be said to be packed with people, and it was bustling with activity.

Upon entering the city, Gu Xi could not help but sigh inwardly.

He had not even taken a few steps when he felt several auras surging around him that posed a threat to him. “As expected of the elites of the entire continent.”

Gu Xi smacked his lips. Then, with Liu Qingqing leading the way, they crossed the sea of people and walked through one street after another. Finally, they arrived at an inn.

The inn was very big, but it was still full of people.

“Manager, we have reserved five rooms.” In front of the counter, Liu Qingqing handed over a bag of spirit stones.

“Which sect?” The manager was flipping through the account books when he casually glanced up.

“Medicine King Valley,” Liu Qingqing replied.

Hearing this, the maanger’s entire body stiffened slightly. A moment later, he slowly raised his head with an apologetic smile on his face.

Gu Xi slightly narrowed his eyes. The few of them also felt that something was amiss.

“I’m sorry everyone, your rooms… have already been occupied.”

The manager said apologetically. Then, he also took out a bag of spirit stones and handed it to Liu Qingqing. He continued, “This is the deposit from before. There is also some compensation for you. Please go to other inns and take a look.”

As soon as he said this, Liu Qingqing’s eyes instantly widened. Then, she said sternly, “How come the rooms we booked in advance are already occupied?!”

The competition was about to start, and there was so much traffic in Jiaping City. Where could they find another inn to stay at this time!?

“Well…” The manager laughed bitterly, but he did not know what to say.

“We’re the ones who took your rooms. Do you have any objections?” At the same time, a disdainful voice sounded from the second floor.

Liu Qingqing looked up at the source of the voice. She was about to scold them, but when she saw the clothes they were wearing, her pretty face could not help but turn pale. The words that were about to come out of her mouth were forcefully swallowed down.

“What’s going on?” sensing Liu Qingqing’s change, Gu Xi frowned and asked.

“They’re from the Hehuan Sect.”

Wang Shi glanced at the people on the second floor with disgust and immediately blocked the petite Liu Qingqing behind him. “These people use women as their cultivation cauldrons and spend their days having fun. I wonder how many young and beautiful women have been harmed. Moreover, none of the women they captured and made into cauldrons survived. The Hehuan Sect can be said to be the nightmare of all the women in the world.”

Upon hearing these words, Gu Xi suddenly came to a realization.

No wonder Liu Qingqing had such a big reaction after seeing them.

However, he also did not expect that the world he had transmigrated to actually had a sect like the Hehuan Sect.

“Everyone, we booked this room in advance. Aren’t you guys being too unreasonable by doing this?” As the group leader, Gu Xi also stood up and spoke in a deep voice.

However, the few disciples of the Hehuan Sect on the second floor did not seem to take him seriously at all. Instead, their gazes fell on Little Nine, who was behind Gu Xi.
