A group of uninvited guests arrived at Su Qiong and the others' camp, numbering over a dozen, consisting of both men and women.
The difference was that a few of the men were not from the Human Clan, but from the Demon Race, while the other men and women were human, mingling with the demons.
"This place is not bad, suitable for a night's rest, but it seems someone has already occupied this place ahead of us!" A Demon Race man grinned, looking at Su Qiong and the others.
Su Qiong, Gao Qing, Gongsun Yuan, and Matthew's faces changed dramatically, looking at these dozen people with extreme wariness!
In the Primordial Forest, encountering others is extremely dangerous.
In the Cultivation World, occurrences of murder and plunder happen quite often!
The group before them had a minimum cultivation level of Fourth Rank Saint Emperor, and the highest was Seventh Rank Saint Emperor. If they started a fight, they were definitely not opponents for these four.
"Who are you people? We are Inner Sect Disciples of Fuyao Palace. If you dare to take any dangerous actions, Fuyao Palace will not let you go!" Gao Qing's face sank as he stepped forward and shouted fiercely.
Among the four, Gao Qing's cultivation was the highest, at the peak of the Sixth Rank Saint Emperor realm.
Matthew was next, at the mid-Sixth Rank Saint Emperor.
Gongsun Yuan followed, at the early Sixth Rank Saint Emperor.
And Su Qiong had the cultivation of a First Rank Saint Emperor, negligible and definitely not a match for this group!
"Seems to be a Super Grade Force in the Northern Territory, not too strong, fairly decent in the Northern Territory, but nothing compared to our entire Divine Wind Continent!"
The group sneered mockingly; they were from the East Territory of the Divine Wind Continent, also a Super Grade Force.
Fuyao Palace... was nothing to fear!
And those from the Demon Race were also from the East Territory but not from the same Super Grade Force. They belonged to another powerful Demon Race, the Lizard Clan!
The leader of the Lizard Clan, with green skin, had eerie patterns growing on his face, neck, arms... appearing quite terrifying!
This Lizard Clan man stared intently at Su Qiong, eyes bursting with a longing glow, inner heart burning feverishly!
The Lizard Clan had an infamous lust, particularly favoring human beauties!
And Su Qiong's appearance was undeniably stunning, making it impossible not to be tempted!
"Hehe! Dangerous actions? Of course, we won't take any dangerous actions, but... this lady, may I know your name? My name is Xi Chen, and I'd like to make friends with you!" The Lizard Clan man grinned, introducing himself to Su Qiong.
He even licked his tongue and his eyes roamed over Su Qiong's delicate body.
Xi Chen slowly walked towards Su Qiong!
Xi Chen's companions exchanged glances.
They all knew the nature of the Lizard Clan, so seeing Xi Chen act this way, they weren't too shocked either.
"You... you... what do you want? Don't come over..." Su Qiong, her pretty face turning pale, shouted sternly.
Her voice seemed incredibly weak and helpless!
Xi Chen's cultivation was at the Seventh Rank Saint Emperor, a level stronger than Gao Qing. A weak girl like Su Qiong was no match for Xi Chen at all!
Finally, Gao Qing, steeling himself, stood between Xi Chen and Su Qiong: "What do you want? She is from our Fuyao Palace, mind your manners!"
"Manners? Hehe, how am I being impolite? I just want to befriend this young lady, how is that impolite? Do you say I have acted rudely?" Xi Chen laughed disdainfully, turning around, looking at those present, asking.
"Has Xi brother been rude?" Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novel✦fire.net
"Exactly! How has Xi brother been rude?"
All the human cultivators behind Xi Chen shook their heads, laughing cunningly as they answered.
Xi Chen's gaze fell on Gao Qing, shouting: "Get lost! Don't block my way!"
A powerful aura surged forth, almost flinging Gao Qing aside, an immense power, making him completely outmatched.
Thus, Gao Qing silently retreated a few steps, gritting his teeth, making way.
"Hehe! That's better, boy, you know your place, otherwise, disturbing my fun, hehe!" Xi Chen grinned, licking his lips, continuing towards Su Qiong.
"You all... take action! This Xi Chen clearly harbors no good intentions, Su Qiong junior sister is in danger! I've heard that the Lizard Clan from the East Territory is notoriously lustful, especially fond of human women... what if Su Qiong junior sister is..." Gongsun Yuan's pretty face was filled with shock as she looked incredulously at Gao Qing and Matthew.
"Sister Gongsun, how is Su Qiong junior sister in danger? These Lizard brothers just want to make friends with her, nothing dangerous!" Matthew's expression was utterly indifferent.
"Correct! Xi brothers clearly just want to befriend Su junior sister, how is it dangerous?" Gao Qing remained silent for a second, then gently nodded.
The two understood that with their strength, even if they joined forces, they couldn't match Xi Chen.
Xi Chen had a large group of companions!
Once a fight broke out, they were sure to suffer, so in that case... it depended on Su Qiong's fate!
Although, back in Fuyao Palace, they vowed to protect Su Qiong well, at a critical moment, who could care much about that? Their own lives were most important!
"You all..." Gongsun Yuan opened her mouth, looked at Su Qiong, then at Xi Chen, and fell silent!
She too stayed silent!
In that instant, she understood too that they were absolutely no match for Xi Chen.
Since that's the case...
Silence was the only choice!
Xi Chen had already reached in front of Su Qiong, eyes full of lust, gazing lustfully at Su Qiong's delicate body.
"Miss, don't be afraid! I'm a considerate person, it's crowded and noisy here, let's go someplace else for a nice, deep conversation!" Xi Chen grinned.
Xi Chen's companions all laughed knowingly; they clearly understood what Xi Chen meant.
"You... stay away..." Su Qiong's pretty face turned deathly pale, eyes filled with a deep sense of helplessness, looking towards Gao Qing, Matthew, and Gongsun Yuan.
Gao Qing, Matthew, and Gongsun Yuan turned their heads away, looking in the other direction, as if not seeing Su Qiong's pleading glance at all!
Su Qiong was utterly in despair!
She thought of Lin Fan, where could Lin Fan be now...
Lately, she had sent Lin Fan away to pick wild fruits, not realizing she'd be in danger now!
Thinking this, Su Qiong's heart filled with hopeless despair; well, if she died, she wouldn't have to return to Sumeru Continent and wouldn't have to worry about Lin Fan's safety. After all, if she were dead, the family she was betrothed to wouldn't pay attention to Lin Fan.
Su Qiong had decided; if she were humiliated, she'd immediately end her life beforehand!
Su Qiong closed her eyes, resigning herself!
"Miss, let's go! That place over there looks nice, definitely secluded... and it seems well soundproofed too..." Xi Chen cheerfully said to Su Qiong, pointing to a nearby spot.
He reached out a thick hand, aiming to grab Su Qiong's wrist!
A golden sword light suddenly appeared, almost without any warning, slashing down!
Xi Chen's outstretched arm, just about to grab Su Qiong's wrist, was severed on the spot by the sword light!
