Huang Xiao sped along using his lightness skills. As he approached Chanzhou City, he discovered that Khitan troops filled the surrounding area.
He was not surprised, however. He naturally knew that Chanzhou City was under siege.
After evading the Khitans, Huang Xiao quickly located the Khitan army's Command Tent and appeared directly inside it.
Although countless Khitan experts surrounded the Command Tent, Huang Xiao took care not to alert anyone. It was not that he feared the Khitan experts; even Dalhe, the Esoteric Sect's foremost expert, was beneath his notice.

"You... you're?" When Xiao Dalin saw who had entered, he was utterly stunned.
He recognized Huang Xiao. Although he had not known Huang Xiao's identity when they first met years ago, he knew who this man was now: the Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect. How could his own strength possibly compare?

By rights, Wu Longfeng would surely have wanted to kill
