Chapter 1379 - Identity Exposed
Wu Zhong's reappearance did not surprise Liu Wuxie in the slightest.
Cang Hua and the others, however, tensed up as the gathered experts closed in around them, and everyone understood that this pressure stemmed from Liu Wuxie.
"Wu Zhong, not only did you leave the squad, but you even brought others to attack us!" Shangguan Xue snapped, disgust twisting her expression at Wu Zhong's action.
Wu Zhong, however, met Shangguan Xue's rebuke with complete indifference.
"Shangguan Xue, I advise you not to meddle in this matter. We're only here for that kid, and you'd better get lost if you don't want to die," he said. After joining his new squad, his confidence swelled; even if he ranked as the weakest among them, their collective strength was terrifying.
Once they were done with the Blood Fiend Valley, they planned to head to the mysterious passage and mine astral crystals there.
"You all heard him. That brat is our target. Move it if you want to leave," said the man beside Wu Zhong, his voice dripping with contempt.
Cang Hua and the others grew even more anxious. In their eyes, staking their lives for Liu Wuxie wasn't worth it. Instinctively, they all turned toward Ye Yuwen.
Liu Wuxie studied Wu Zhong and his new companions and immediately recognized the squad. Back at the Mercenary Alliance, they had loudly recruited teammates with the Void Realm as their minimum requirement; if his memory served him right, they went by the name Great Mountain Squad.
The other squads around them weren't weak, and their combined auras pressed down on Liu Wuxie's little group like a physical weight. Word had spread about how he had obtained a thousand-year Bloodking Bamboo Shoot and more than a dozen astral crystals.
"Brother Ye, I'm sorry, but I don't want to die," Cang Hua spoke, refusing to let himself be dragged into the conflict.
Even though Liu Wuxie had shown he could slay Void Realm cultivators, their small squad stood no chance against such a crowd of experts.
