Huang Xiao and the other two returned to the road, mounted their horses, and rode another ten li to where Chao Huo and the others had been waiting.
The men sent by the God-Burying Hall were also there; they had not come directly over.
After all, Chao Huo had orders to wait there. When he saw the men sent by the God-Burying Hall, he dared not delay and hurriedly sent someone back to report.
"Men from the King Yama Sect!" Yue Cheng glanced at the two men ahead, who were clearly not disciples of the Mixed Demon Sect, and spoke quietly to Huang Xiao.
Hearing this, Huang Xiao understood.
The King Yama Sect was also a major sect of the Demonic Path, with formidable influence, somewhat stronger even than the Mixed Demon Sect.
The Mixed Demon Sect had only one Enlightenment Realm expert, Chao Hun, while the King Yama Sect had three. Such strength was far from insignificant even across the Jianghu.
Even so, they amounted to little before the Demon Hall.
The King Yama Sect was a subordinate sect of the God-Burying Hall, and they had evidently sent men out this time as well.
It was just like the Mixed Demon Sect sending disciples to follow Huang Xiao.
However, the men sent by the King Yama Sect might have come willingly, unlike the Mixed Demon Sect, which obeyed him outwardly while defying him in secret.
Huang Xiao urged his horse forward and briefly sized up the two mounted men ahead.
One looked like an old man, the other a middle-aged man.
Huang Xiao could sense that the old man was in the Void Martial Realm, while the middle-aged man was only in the half-step Martial Realm. They were indeed men sent out for this contest over the Jade Slips.
