Chapter 813: Wu Lian
By then, the Five-Colored Altar had disappeared from Long Chen’s sight.
After Long Chen looked around for a while in confusion, Bai Lan and Lei Ji had arrived by his side. Both of them were all smiles. Bai Lan walked up to him and patted his shoulder, saying, “Good one, kid! You did well today. You didn’t get to see Feng Qing and that woman Wu Lian’s faces! It was amazing!”
Long Chen privately made a mental note of the Five-Colored Alter. After chatting a bit with Bai Lan, they left Confounding City. Long Chen memorized the path from that location to the exit. The path was very strange, as it looked like it should have been a straight route, but they had to keep turning to get out of the city.
“Rest well tonight. Tomorrow, the second round will begin. Four out of eight will advance. As usual, your opponents will be determined by drawing lots. We will do that later,” Bai Lan explained to Long Chen and Suxue.
Both of them had entered the top eight, along with Wu Guangyu and five participants from the Five Elements Alliance.
“Most of the contestants from the Five Elements Alliance are regular Ninth Earthly Martial Stage cultivators. About the same as the Lei brothers. The only outstanding one is Jin Ling. That kid has received harsh training since young and is Ancestor Jin’s greatest masterpiece. His combat abilities far surpass his cultivation level, so defeating that kid will not be easy. It would be better if Wu Guangyu and Jin Ling could meet each other first. If any one of you meets one of them first, it will be a sticky situation.”
“Indeed, Wu Guangyu and Jin Ling are both difficult opponents. I used everything I had, but I still was not a match for Wu Guangyu. And he had not even used his Azure Lotus Sword yet,” said Suxue, slightly traumatized.
“Long Chen, what about you?” While they chatted, Long Chen had been silent, which attracted their attention. Long Chen was still thinking about the Five-Colored Altar when Bai Lan asked, “What are you thinking about?”
Long Chen smiled and said, “Just thinking about some cultivation stuff. I’ve experienced many battles today, so I’ve learned some new things.”
