Confrontation

Lu Chong had heard of the newcomer as well, and had even once regarded him as a short-term goal.

Huo Longqing, second on the Galaxy Dao Profound Ranking, was a famed prodigy of the Alliance.

At the same time, he was a personal disciple of a Supreme, apprenticed to Supreme Taotie.

As for why he had come, it was not hard to guess from Yellow Monkey's smug expression that Huo Longqing was the reinforcements he had summoned.

"Be careful, Junior Brother. Huo Longqing is a personal disciple of Supreme Taotie."

At that moment, Chang Yanxing, who had noticed them as well, sent him a voice transmission in warning.

Then he added somewhat indignantly, "And Jiao Di, the guardian at his side, is also a personal disciple of Supreme Taotie. He ranks nineteenth on the Galaxy Dao Mountain Ranking."

Lu Chong's heart stirred, and he discreetly glanced at the Dao Mountain Realm peak expert beside Huo Longqing, who looked like a child barely three feet tall.

"So this is Jiao Di?"

Lu Chong had studied the Galaxy Dao Mountain Ranking before and had heard of this person.

No wonder Senior Brother was somewhat indignant, and also somewhat wary.

Chang Yanxing ranked twenty-first on the Galaxy Dao Mountain Ranking, while Jiao Di stood nineteenth, steadily one rank above Chang Yanxing.

It was said that Jiao Di had risen later and overtaken him. When he challenged Chang Yanxing on the Galaxy Dao Mountain Ranking and won, he had spoken in a strange, mocking tone, his provocation all too obvious.

That was why Senior Brother had gradually developed a grudge against him, and the two had clashed repeatedly in all kinds of settings.

They've come with ill intent, Lu Chong thought.

"Jiao Di, what is your purpose in coming here?" Chang Yanxing demanded first.
