Chapter 95: Gong Qing: Oh, I'm done for!

On the spectator stand to one side, two people sat side by side.

One was a middle-aged fat man who looked somewhat unkempt, while the other was a middle-aged thin man.

"They really came; this is going to be troublesome."

The middle-aged fat man spoke, his voice deep and resonant, yet it carried the gentle, melodic tone of a woman.

The other men around him were blushing, glancing at this fat man from time to time.

Those gazes were as bizarre as they could possibly be.

Among these people, some looked incredibly conflicted, yet they couldn't help but cast their eyes toward this fat man.

"Afraid? If you're afraid, there's still time to leave now."

The middle-aged thin man said.

"I am indeed afraid."

"So you don't intend to do it?"

"I'll block him myself; frankly speaking, if he wants to kill me, I don't think I could block two moves," the middle-aged fat man said, a hint of conflict in his eyes.

Sensing this expression, the hearts of the group of people watching him shattered.

Yet most were perfectly clear-headed, completely unable to understand why they were interested in a man.

But they just couldn't help it.

"How will you know if you don't try? What if it works?"

"Works? It would be fine if it works."

The middle-aged fat man turned his head to look at the person beside him, his tone somewhat unkind.

It would be fine if it works, but if it doesn't, it will cost a life.

"A great beauty like you, so delicate and charming, no one would have the heart to strike a heavy blow."

"Shen Chong, you don't want to try it yourself? Why don't you come?"

"Don't, although I want to, I'm not stupid. Since you all say it like that, then naturally I wouldn't be able to block him.

Rather than throwing my life away, I might as well go do something else.

After all, according to what you say, a frontal confrontation can't stop him; it's a level of difficulty equal to the Celestial Master, so only you stepping up might make it possible."

Shen Chong looked at Xia He, who was disguised as the fat man.

"Even disguised like this, you can still attract the attention of these people. You should have confidence in your own charm. Still, that same point: if you can successfully capture this person, the power you hold in your hands will be formidable.

Besides, aren't you looking for someone who can perfectly resist your ability? This person is also a possibility."

"That's true."

The fat-man version of Xia He nodded upon hearing this and turned his head again to look at Lin Xuan, who was sitting on the front spectator stand.

And Lin Xuan's gaze also looked over; Xia He immediately pretended to be looking around and withdrew her gaze.

"He looked over. Take it easy. Also, is there any news from the Sect Leader's side?"

Xia He reminded him.

"Not yet."

Shen Chong shook his head, his gaze also not looking toward the front spectator stand.

"This guy, what is he doing?"

Xia He frowned, her tone somewhat unkind.

……

On the front spectator stand, Lin Xuan withdrew his gaze.

Xia He!

Just by looking at the reactions of the others around Xia He, Lin Xuan could tell her identity.

And those gazes that kept looking over.

But are these people from the All-Truth Sect really that stubborn?

This time is not like the original; many people have come to the Grand Rite of Heaven and Earth this time. Not to mention the younger generation, many high-level members of various sects and factions have also come.

It is no exaggeration to say that half of the experts in the Outsider world have probably come to Longhu Mountain.

And that is not counting himself.

Lin Xuan turned his head to look at the little Daoist boy behind Tian Jinzhong.

Gong Qing saw Lin Xuan looking at him from the corner of his eye, his heart sank, and he pondered countermeasures, but his face showed no change.

"What does the Celestial Master think of the All-Truth Sect?"

Lin Xuan shifted his gaze to look at the Celestial Master.

Everyone present heard Lin Xuan's question, and their expressions were somewhat strange.

Lu Jin stared straight at Lin Xuan.

And Gong Qing's heart skipped a beat.

This person, does he really know his identity?

Is he going to state it directly?

Here?

Gong Qing felt a bit panicked inside.

"All-Truth Sect? Why ask about this suddenly?"

The Celestial Master turned his head to look at Lin Xuan upon hearing this and asked with some curiosity.

"Nothing, just a bit curious. With the nature of those guys from the All-Truth Sect, with an event as big as the Grand Rite of Heaven and Earth, they might come to join in the fun."

"With the Celestial Master here, would the brats of the All-Truth Sect dare to come?"

Lu Jin stared wide-eyed and interjected.

"These guys are bold enough to defy the heavens; is there anything they wouldn't dare to do?"

Upon hearing Lu Jin's words, Fang Dongtian retorted directly.

"Four years ago, the Company swept through the All-Truth Sect; in these four years, we haven't found many traces of All-Truth Sect members' activities, so they must have been scared by that operation and gone into hiding."

Feng Zhenghao stroked his stubbly chin and said.

"Mu You is right here, why don't you just ask him?"

Lv Ci said, looking toward Mu You.

"Elder Lv, I haven't gathered much news on the All-Truth Sect either; these guys are truly difficult to keep track of."

Mu You spread his hands, indicating that he really didn't know.

But no one present believed him.

"Little Xuan, you suddenly brought up the All-Truth Sect, did you receive some news?"

Lu Jin leaned in and asked.

"Come to think of it, with you here, these All-Truth Sect members probably wouldn't dare to come even more."

Lu Jin said again.

"As for that, I have indeed received some news; the All-Truth Sect have already arrived at Longhu Mountain and are secretly plotting a plan."

Lin Xuan nodded.

"Is the information accurate?"

Lu Jin rubbed his hands together and asked as soon as he heard this.

"Since I've said it, it is naturally certain, and furthermore, I also know that the All-Nature have produced another Sect Leader—oh, an Acting Sect Leader—who is not very old, but has many schemes."

Lin Xuan spoke again.

"An All-Nature Sect Leader?"

Lin Xuan's words caused the expressions of everyone present to change.

The All-Nature had not had a Sect Leader for decades.

Especially those of the generation of the Celestial Master and Lu Jin, who all knew what kind of commotion the former All-Nature Sect Leader Wugensheng had caused back then.

If one could become the All-Nature Sect Leader, they were definitely no ordinary person.

Gong Qing's heart was in turmoil; if he weren't deep-thinking and very steady, he would have already been unable to resist turning and fleeing.

Though he probably wouldn't be able to escape.

"Since when did the All-Nature have a Sect Leader again? I truly haven't received any news."

Lu Jin frowned.

If one were to ask which of the Ten Elders paid the most attention to news about the All-Nature, it would naturally be Lu Jin.

The matter of the San-Yi Sect, as well as the old feud with the All-Nature, were things Lu Jin had never let go of.

"I haven't received any news either!"

Mu You's expression changed.

If even he, who specialized in collecting intelligence, hadn't received any news, how did Lin Xuan know?

"Let's discuss this matter privately after the competition ends."

Lao Tianshi's expression shifted, and he spoke.

"Of course."

Lin Xuan nodded upon hearing this.

He had brought up this topic actually just to see if the Celestial Master or others knew that the All-Nature were on the mountain.

It seemed they did not.

However, the Company might have received some news.

Of course, it was also possible they had sent people to maintain order.

After all, the Luo Tian Dajiao had attracted so many Outsiders; if something were to happen, it would be a huge problem.

This could also be considered taking precautions against the future.

……

"Xu San, don't forget to get that Bead Bracelet for me!"

Hearing her number called, Feng Baobao turned her head to look at Lin Xuan, who was sitting in the front spectator stand, and reminded Xu San.

Xu San's expression stiffened for a moment before he nodded.

"Let's finish the competition first; I'll try my best to ask for you, but I can't guarantee the item will be obtained."

Xu San shifted the responsibility away first.

Feng Baobao didn't catch the implication in his words; she adjusted her baseball cap and trotted off to prepare for her match.
