Chapter 200
Yue Lou looked ahead and indeed saw several cultivators flying toward them. (Flying was prohibited around Tianxuan Sect except within its boundaries.)
“Who are these people? Do you recognize them?” Xu Ming asked.
Yue Lou nodded. “Of course. Look at their robes with the flame emblem—they’re from Liefu Peak. That’s the peak where Senior Brother Xia resides. Many cultivators from there follow his lead.”
“Oh?” Xu Ming raised a brow in mild surprise. “Your Senior Brother Xia wants to target me?”
Would Xia Donghua really be foolish enough to send his own people to deal with him?
Yue Lou shook her head. “I don’t think it’s Senior Brother Xia. While many from Liefu Peak listen to him, these particular cultivators are notorious troublemakers. They often go against him.”
“Ah, so they’re deliberately targeting me,” Xu Ming said with a small smile.
If Xia Donghua wanted to use his people to deal with him, such a reckless move would be unlikely. Perhaps someone was trying to frame Xia Donghua to tarnish his reputation. But if these were his direct opponents, then it made sense—it was a black glove situation.
