Soft Persimmon? All Three Branches, Come at Me Together
Xuanyuan Wen largely agreed with what Pei Xiu said.
I think Chen Changqing was faking it.
After all, Chen Changqing couldn't possibly remain so calm when facing people from Fourth Branch and Third Branches of the sect at the same time.
"Boom!"
Just then, another unexpected event occurred.
Suddenly, powerful auras erupted from the direction Chen Changqing was facing, directly towards the lakeside.
Before long, dozens more people landed.
The man at the head of the group had heterochromatic pupils and a slightly pale face; he was Xuanyuan Xue, a member of the Sixth Branch of the Xuanyuan Clan.
The External Aids accompanying Xuanyuan Xue was a burly man with a ferocious appearance, whose entire body was covered in scales, making him look like a half-human, half-beast.
The big man was a Rogue Cultivator named Yan Lu, with a cultivation level of the Spirit Transformation Great Perfection. After being encountered by Xuanyuan Xue, he was invited to be his External Aids.
"Um?"
With the arrival of Xuanyuan Xue, both Xuanyuan Ce and Xuanyuan Wen were taken aback.
Unexpectedly, besides them, Xuanyuan Xue of the Sixth Branch also came to this lakeside location.
What's going on?
"Why is Xuanyuan Xue getting involved in this mess too?"
Xuanyuan Ce muttered to himself, looking somewhat taken aback.
"Could it be that Xuanyuan Xue is also after Chen Changqing?"
On the other side, Xuanyuan Wen was also secretly speculating.
Seeing that both Xuanyuan Ce and Xuanyuan Wen were looking at him, Xuanyuan Xue glanced at them, a hint of surprise flashing across his eyes.
Just as the two of them had guessed.
He came here specifically to see Chen Changqing.
After all, once Chen Changqing entered the Battle Realm, he had no way to conceal his aura. The Battle Realm wasn't very large, so it was easy for him to be spotted.
To Xuanyuan Xue, when he and his men arrived following Chen Changqing's aura, they found Xuanyuan Ce of the Third Branch and Xuanyuan Wen of the Fourth Branch there as well.
At this juncture, on the Ancestral Dragon Platform outside.
The members of the Xuanyuan Clan were all shocked when they witnessed this scene.
"Ah?"
"Am I seeing things?"
They all crashed together!
"People from the Third Branch, Fourth Branch, Sixth Branch, and Ninth Branch actually met at this time?"
"Judging from this, a chaotic battle seems inevitable!"
"This is getting more and more interesting!"
"It seems that Chen Changqing of the Ninth Branch is outnumbered and outmatched!"
"Don't underestimate this person; he possesses Immortal Artifact. He eliminated the entire Fifth Branch and Second Branch from among them!"
"..."
Many members of the Xuanyuan clan were discussing it.
After seeing Chen Changqing eliminate the members of the Fifth Branch and Second Branch, their attitude towards Chen Changqing changed significantly.
They no longer treated it with disdain, but began to take it seriously.
Beneath the Dragon Pillar of the Ninth Branch.
Upon seeing this, both Xuanyuan Xiaoyu and Xuanyuan Yun frowned simultaneously, their hearts filled with tension.
After a slight pause, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu stammered:
"Mother, you... you're not worried that they'll join forces against Changqing, are you?"
Upon hearing what Xuanyuan Xiaoyu said, Xuanyuan Yun's brows furrowed even more deeply. She didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly.
Upon seeing this, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu's heart skipped a beat; she was just as nervous as she was.
At this moment, in the location of that lake within the Battle Realm.
After sensing the arrival of the Sixth Branch Xuanyuan Xue, Chen Changqing remained calm and unmoved, lying on the ground.
"Giggle..."
Seeing this, Xuanyuan Xue gritted his teeth and roared angrily:
"Chen Changqing, aren't you getting up?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing slowly stood up from the ground, then lazily stretched before glancing at the people from the various factions present.
"Quite a few people have come."
"How?"
"Haven't you fought against people from other factions before?"
Chen Changqing asked with a puzzled look.
Just now, he was wondering how many of the nine lineages of the Xuanyuan Clan had not yet been eliminated.
Now, people from the Third Branch, Fourth Branch, and Sixth Branch have all surrounded him.
Chen Changqing felt as if the other clansmen hadn't actually fought each other.
Earlier, he had already eliminated the Fifth Branch and the Second Branch.
The emergence of three more factions is somewhat unexpected.
Upon hearing what Chen Changqing said, Xuanyuan Ce and the others' faces immediately darkened, feeling as if they had been humiliated.
Just as Chen Changqing had guessed, they had indeed not fought against people from other factions before this.
After entering the Battle Realm, they each found secluded places to hide temporarily in order to preserve their strength.
After all, the Xuanyuan Clan's Annual Competition is a free-for-all with chaotic rules.
Regardless of the process, the champion of the competition is who remains in the Battle Realm at the end.
In Xuanyuan Ce's view, there was no need for them to fight with other clans as soon as they entered the Battle Realm.
Wouldn't it be better to wait for the other factions to fight amongst themselves, and then sit back and watch the show?
The reason they showed up this time was because they saw Chen Changqing was the only one there, and they wanted to get rid of Chen Changqing and kick the Ninth Branch out of the competition.
However, what Xuanyuan Ce and the others did not expect was...
Besides Chen Changqing, others were also eyeing Chen Changqing, which led to them meeting at this lake.
Seeing that Xuanyuan Ce and the others did not respond, Chen Changqing helplessly pursed his lips and said indifferently:
"Looks like you're all here for me, aren't you?"
Who wants to go first?
As he spoke, Chen Changqing glanced around, looking at Xuanyuan Ce, Xuanyuan Wen, and Xuanyuan Xue.
Upon receiving Chen Changqing's gaze, Xuanyuan Ce and the others' expressions became even more unpleasant.
If it were just them and Chen Changqing present, they would have acted without hesitation.
However, the presence of other factions besides Chen Changqing has made them hesitant.
After all, if he were to attack Chen Changqing, he might give others an opportunity.
After a moment's thought, Xuanyuan Ce and the others all hesitated, no one spoke up, and no one suggested making a move against Chen Changqing first.
"Um?"
Chen Changqing was slightly surprised upon seeing this.
After a moment's thought, he immediately understood that the reason why Xuanyuan Ce and the others had not yet made a move must be because they were wary of the people from the other factions.
Then, he took a deep breath and said indifferently:
"Alright then, all of you from the three factions, come at me together!"
"Let me take care of it all at once, saves me the trouble!"
As soon as Chen Changqing uttered these words, everyone present from the three factions was stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.
No one expected Chen Changqing to utter such outrageous words.
They actually sent all three factions at once?
Shocked, Xuanyuan Ce and the others felt a surge of anger.
"Chen Changqing, you... you're being insolent!"
Xuanyuan Ce roared in anger.
At the same time, Xuanyuan Wen also looked at Chen Changqing, his face cold and stern, and said:
"You, Chen Changqing, really think you're invincible, huh?"
"You Late Spirit Transformation, who gave you the audacity to bark so arrogantly in front of us?"
