Long Chen had walked a considerable distance when a commotion in the distance caught his attention. He looked toward the sound and saw a group of people heading his way. A single glance told him they were not disciples from Xuanyue Valley. Long Chen paid them no mind, intending to head back to the teahouse. He had no leads on Chu Lingjun's whereabouts and was at a loss as to where he should even begin his search.
Just as he was about to leave, a cold voice called out, "Hey! Stop right there!"
Long Chen ignored the voice completely, acting as if he hadn't heard a thing. His attitude immediately infuriated the man who had spoken.
The man's figure flashed, and in an instant, he appeared before Long Chen, blocking his path. The others quickly followed suit, and several cold gazes fell upon Long Chen. A chilling aura emanated from them. One glance was enough to know this group was not to be trifled with.
"Are you deaf, kid?" the man snarled, his face a mask of contempt.
