Chapter 125 Waiting to see the joke

In the Gobi Desert, ten kilometers east of Koro City.

Hundreds of people were either sitting on the ground, yawning out of boredom, or gathering in groups of three or four to brag and chat.

Of course, there are also people who race against time to sit cross-legged in practice, or practice some kind of magic.

"Why do we have to wait here in the middle of the night?"

"When will Liang Xiao arrive? It's already daybreak."

"It's almost noon, why haven't you come yet?"

"Can a genius do whatever he wants?"

Many people couldn't help but complain.

They came out in the middle of the night and have been waiting here. The school doesn't allow them to hide their identities, and no one knows what they are doing.

Xiong Lifang and Wu Zun are also here.

Because of the great blow and social rejection, Wu Zun did not go out at all during this period. He practiced in seclusion until he reached the late stage of Qi training, which is the seventh level, before coming out.

So, he was also incorporated into this team.

But neither he nor his strong girlfriend Xiong Lifang knew why they were waiting for Liang Xiao here.

They all knew that their destination this time was the outskirts of Jindan Cave, where they were going to participate in competitions among the eight branches and to look for opportunities.

But they didn't know why they had to wait here in the middle of the night.

Among all the people, only Chen Lisong roughly knew some of the reasons.

One of the reasons is to help those students whose cultivation has not reached the late stage of Qi training to buy time to evacuate, so that all forces can focus their attention here.

"I didn't expect that the Earth's interior was infiltrated so severely. Is it possible that there are spies from the cultivation world inside any force?"

Chen Lisong looked at the Gobi Desert in the distance with a serious expression.

From time to time, you can see a monk passing by like an ordinary hunting team.

Among those people, there might really be ordinary monks out hunting, but he knew that there must be people from the Changsheng Sect among them.

To be honest, he didn't have much confidence in dealing with the attack of the Changsheng Sect, but his teacher reassured him and asked him to believe in Liang Xiao.

There was no choice but to believe it.

At this moment, he seemed to sense something. When he looked up, he saw Liang Xiao and a man riding on a seven-colored cloud approaching quickly.

'Isn't this guy... a little too high-profile?'

His expression changed slightly.

At this time, other people also saw the huge seven-colored cloud and stood up.

"Damn, this guy is such a show-off!"

"Seven-colored clouds...why didn't I think of that?"

"So handsome!"

"Who is the girl next to Liang Xiao? Could she be a schoolmate?"

"She's so young at the Foundation Establishment stage? Judging from her age, she probably hasn't even finished high school yet..."

Most people looked at Liang Xiao who was approaching quickly with surprise, and couldn't help but start talking.

At the same time, everyone was shocked by Liang Xiao's amazing aura. After just two months of not seeing him, this first place winner in the freshman competition had become so powerful.

Even those at the peak of foundation building stage were shocked.

At this time, Liang Xiao came to the sky above where Chen Lisong and others were, slowly descended in altitude, and looked at the group of team members assigned to him by the red-haired principal below.

"There are only about 30 freshmen in the same class as He, and the rest are all seniors? So the other freshmen who are not strong enough have been transferred away?"

So, this group of people should be used to divert the attention of other forces, right?

Among this group of people, two-thirds are in the Foundation Establishment stage, and there are more than a hundred people in the late Qi Condensation stage.

However, since they are generally under 20 years old, they can all be considered geniuses and can be used to divert the attention of various major forces.

Suddenly, Liang Xiao saw Wu Zun in the crowd.

On the ground, seeing Liang Xiao looking at him, Wu Zun's face changed slightly and he subconsciously hid behind Xiong Lifang.

Xiong Lifang nudged Wu Zun with her elbow in frustration, and nodded to Liang Xiao from a distance.

"..."

At this time, Chen Lisong flew up and couldn't help asking, "Aren't you being too high-profile?"

Liang Xiao did not explain, and said calmly: "I will be the leader of this mission. If you have any objections, please leave by yourself."

"...That's not the case. I have no objection." Chen Lisong replied quickly.

Below, everyone looked surprised.

Chen Lisong is the principal's direct disciple, but he actually bowed to Liang Xiao?

Many people couldn't help but think of the news that has been making headlines on the campus Internet in recent days, that Chen Lisong was easily defeated by Liang Xiao and was pushed out eight hundred kilometers.

"It seems that the news is true!"

"Indeed, Chen Lisong doesn't have such a good temper when facing us."

"How shameless." "Keep your voice down. I am the principal's last disciple after all."

……

"That's good."

Liang Xiao nodded in satisfaction, then looked at everyone below: "Everyone should have heard that I will be the leader of this Jindan Cave mission. Who agrees and who disagrees?"

"I agree……"

"I agree too!"

The thirty or so freshmen spoke quickly.

However, none of the remaining senior students reacted and they all looked at Chen Lisong.

Because they had long known that Liang Xiao could easily defeat those at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, even Chen Lisong, who possessed the small reflection phenomenon and had reached the late stage of Qi training, was defeated, so they had no intention of going against Liang Xiao.

It’s just that Liang Xiao has no prestige in the Koro branch, and Chen Lisong, the principal’s direct disciple, is also here, so they did not express their opinions immediately.

Chen Lisong remained indifferent and felt helpless. Didn’t he see that he had to listen to that guy too?

These old students really have no tact.

In fact, those old students were not blind, but they wanted to see whether Liang Xiao and Chen Lisong would fight again for power.

Unfortunately, they were destined to be disappointed.

"Since no one objects, I'll assume that you all agree."

Liang Xiao asked, "Students in the Qi training stage can all fly with swords, right?"

"Don't worry, junior, we will be fine." said a sophomore who had completed the Qigong training.

"That's good, let's go."

Liang Xiao looked at Chen Lisong and said, "Lead the way."

Chen Lisong nodded and led the way, saying in a voice transmission: "I'm afraid this trip won't be smooth sailing. Changsheng Sect..."

"As long as there is no Nascent Soul Stage blocking the way, there is no danger." Liang Xiao replied, and followed with his little maid on a cloud.

Behind them, all those in the Foundation Establishment stage quickly took to the air to catch up, while those in the late Qi Condensation stage flew into the air on their swords to catch up.

More than three hundred people followed in a mighty manner, but they followed like a group of small fish.

Chen Lisong was immediately cheered up when he heard this.

Perhaps it was because he had been bullied by Liang Xiao before, or perhaps it was because his teacher also had great confidence in Liang Xiao, so he inexplicably felt that Liang Xiao's words were credible.

Since Liang Xiao is so confident, the problem shouldn't be too big.

While moving forward, Liang Xiao sensed possible enemies behind him.

But what puzzled him was that there were only a dozen people who actually caught up with him, and only two of them were in the Jindan stage.

Those people had obvious malicious intentions and were obviously not friendly forces.

"Does he look down on us? Or is he really lying in ambush ahead?"

Liang Xiao frowned slightly.

However, in order not to alert the enemy, he did not take any action before those people showed up. He just silently covered all the classmates behind him with his perception to prevent these guys from being attacked.

Because the sword-flying speed in the Qi training period is very average, their speed is maintained at 20 to 30 meters per second.

Anyway, it’s a long journey, and there are still more than twenty days before the Jindan Cave is officially opened.

So Liang Xiao was not in a hurry.

However, after only walking for ten kilometers, some people behind fell behind.

Those who have just entered the later stages of Qi training have begun to show signs of Qi depletion.

Even the perfection of Qi training has begun to become strenuous.

Liang Xiao couldn't help but stop and glanced at the senior student who had said it was no problem before. The other party was also struggling.

The old student felt a little embarrassed by being looked at.

As Liang Xiao stopped, everyone stopped as well.

Those students in the Foundation Establishment Stage all frowned secretly, totally unable to understand why the school teachers wanted the Qi Condensation Stage to act together.

But they didn't say anything, wanting to see how Liang Xiao would solve it, since Liang Xiao was the leader anyway.

They would not go against a peerless genius like Liang Xiao, and they were not stupid, but they could not help but want to watch the fun.

Especially the older students, many of whom are juniors and seniors.

Although their talents were not as great as Liang Xiao's, they still felt a little unhappy as seniors having to obey the orders of freshmen.

Especially when Liang Xiao’s prestige is insufficient.

If Liang Xiao can't solve the problem of getting on the road, then there will be something interesting to watch.

At this time, Liang Xiao turned to look at Chen Lisong and asked, "How far is this place from the Golden Core Cave?"

　The first day of this month, please give me a monthly ticket!!
