62. A group of people gathered.
Lu Mingzhe struggled to swallow two healing pills, then staggered away, looking at Xiao Yan as if he had seen a ghost.
Although he could rest on the ground for a while and leave after his injuries had healed, he didn't want to stay with Xiao Yan for even a moment longer.
Despite being only a six-star Dou Huang, even lower than himself, he killed geniuses from two major sects as easily as cutting melons and vegetables. The blood-red Red Lotus Karmic Flame would even become Lu Mingzhe's nightmare. So many powerful figures from the Xuanwen Sect were burned to ashes by Xiao Yan with a simple fire.
"What kind of monster is this? We have to deal with it, Brother Zhi."
Lu Mingzhe felt a bitter taste in his mouth. Not long ago, he had been determined to intercept and kill Xiao Yan to report back to Lu Zhi. Now it seemed that if Xiao Yan hadn't deliberately held back, he would definitely have died at Xiao Yan's hands.
However, Lu Mingzhe hadn't gone far when he encountered a sizable group rushing towards him. The leader, dressed as a noble young master, was playing with a folding fan in his hand. It was none other than Xu Yingwu of the Echo Sect, whom Xiao Yan hadn't seen for a long time.
Lu Mingzhe was startled, clearly not expecting to encounter Xu Yingwu. The relationship between the Echo Sect and the Profound Pattern Sect was not exactly good.
When Xu Yingwu and his men saw Lu Mingzhe, they stopped in their tracks. Xu Yingwu was taken aback and asked, "Lu Mingzhe, how did you end up in such a sorry state?"
Lu Mingzhe, clutching his wound, said irritably, "What's it to you?"
Someone nearby couldn't stand it anymore: "How dare you speak to Young Master Xu like that?" and was about to make a move.
Xu Yingwu raised his folding fan and stopped him, saying, "I originally heard that the Xuanwen Sect and Xiangxi Mountain had made arrangements here and wanted to come and join in the fun. I didn't expect that the second-in-command of the Xuanwen Sect had fallen to such a state. Hahaha, if I make a move against you again, people will say that I, Xu Yingwu, am kicking someone when they're down. You should leave."
Lu Mingzhe was surprised that Xu Yingwu let him go so easily, and his eyes were somewhat complicated. He then bowed to Xu Yingwu and fled.
A member of the Echo Sect standing next to Xu Yingwu said, "Young Master, Lu Mingzhe's status within the Profound Pattern Sect isn't low, is it? You..."
"Heh heh, those who injured him let him go, how could I possibly kick him while he's down? Come on, come with me to see someone!"
He had personally witnessed the burns on Lu Mingzhe's body. The only thing that could burn Lu Mingzhe, who had condensed the Blazing Fire Pattern, like that was a strange fire!
……
After dealing with Lu Mingzhe, Xiao Yan stayed in place for a while, and then Xu Yingwu's team appeared in front of him.
"Junior Uncle! I've missed you so much! Oh, Miss Qinglin is here too?"
Xu Yingwu rushed to Xiao Yan's side. Qing Lin, feeling down, only gave a brief reply. Xiao Yan, however, retorted irritably, "Come on, how did you get here?"
Xu Yingwu chuckled and said, "I heard that the Xuanwen Sect and Xiangxi Mountain are making moves here, so I came to see if I could cause them some trouble."
Xiao Yan frowned slightly and said, "In my opinion, the Xuanwen Sect and Xiangxi Mountain are probably in cahoots now."
"Sigh, who knows what that cunning Shi Meng is thinking? He might be waiting for Lu Zhi to be caught off guard so he can trick him!" Xu Yingwu had been somewhat dissatisfied with Shi Meng because he had suffered a loss at Shi Meng's hands before.
Of course, he didn't take it too seriously. After all, the six major forces were deeply intertwined, and it wasn't unusual for them to temporarily unite within the Beast Realm. Once they returned to the Northwest Region, they would be at odds with each other again. Apart from not being able to engage in large-scale battles, they had never lacked tricks, both overt and covert.
After saying that, Xu Yingwu smiled maliciously and said, "Junior Uncle, judging from your appearance, you've made quite a bit of money in the Myriad Beasts Space. How about it, have any ideas for pulling off a big heist?"
Xiao Yan glanced at Xu Yingwu's gaze, then at the ranking list in mid-air, and replied, "What, you have feelings for Lu Zhi?"
Xu Yingwu's eyes lit up and he said, "Of course! We can't let him take the top spot on the leaderboard so easily. By the way, how did you get such an incredible score a month ago? Was there any secret?"
Xiao Yan had also noticed the current situation on the rankings long ago.
"One Lu Zhi, 146,977 points."
"Xu Yingwu, 138,034 points."
"Thirty thousand green, one hundred and thirty-six thousand six thousand seven hundred and fifty-three."
"Four stones of fierce strength, 131,333."
"Five Lions Fierce, 130,098 points."
"Sixth Wang Haipeng, 117,319 points." (Author's note: The Heroes Alliance is not a family-based force, so not all members share the surname Wan.)
"Seven thousand bushels, one hundred and fifteen thousand nine hundred and forty-eight portions."
"Eight Xu Han, 112,848 points."
"Xiao Xun'er, 109,872 points."
"Ten Lions Champion, 106,130 points."
Xiao Yan said, "Let's not rush to climb the rankings. How about you come with me to kill a magical beast first?"
The probability of obtaining the Bone-Growing Blood-Coagulating Flower, which was originally quite troublesome, would be greatly increased with Xu Yingwu's help.
"Alright, even Junior Uncle is asking for help, this monster isn't that hard! Do you think we have enough people?"
Looking at the hundreds of people behind Xu Yingwu, Xiao Yan felt somewhat helpless. After all, he had personally experienced the terror of the eighth-order magical beast, the Azure-Eyed Nightmare Toad. He was afraid that half of these people would not even be able to withstand a single attack from an eighth-order magical beast.
So he said to Xu Yingwu, "The people you brought won't be of much help to the operation. The fewer people we have this time, the better."
Xu Yingwu, equally carefree, said to the man who had been following him, "Xu Ping, take these brothers who have joined us to Xu Han and tell him to make it into the top five, or I'll cause him trouble once we leave the Beast Space!"
Xu Ping was both amused and exasperated by Xu Yingwu's words, but Xu Yingwu's attitude didn't seem like nonsense, so he could only respectfully lead the others away.
Once everyone had left, Xu Yingwu excitedly rubbed his hands and asked Xiao Yan, "Junior Uncle? What important business are we going to do?"
Xiao Yan grinned: "Dare you snatch something from an eighth-tier magical beast?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Yingwu's expression instantly turned serious. He said, "Junior Uncle, while I must admit you're braver than me, an eighth-tier magical beast is still a terrifying existence with the power of a Dou Zun. Although the Myriad Beast Space has been weakened considerably, the three of us are only at the level of being able to escape from it. Are you sure we're not just going to become the eighth-tier magical beast's meal?"
Xiao Yan smiled. If before entering the cave he could only run away from eighth-order magical beasts, the situation was different now.
"We're not hunting it, we're just stealing it. Besides, who said there were three of us?" Xiao Yan smiled, toying with a jade ring in his hand.
Upon hearing this, Qinglin, who was standing nearby, seemed to remember something and took out a positioning jade ring from her storage ring. The location indicated that someone was approaching.
Before long, a graceful figure descended from the sky.
"Brother Xiao Yan!" The gentle and melodious voice belonged to none other than Xiao Xun'er.
Xiao Yan smiled as he looked at the stunningly beautiful woman who appeared before him, then said to Xu Yingwu, "Look, everyone's here!"
