Outside the Lava Demon Nest, dozens of figures stood still, gazing into the air around them, seemingly waiting for something.
These individuals wore entirely different outfits, forming small groups of two or three, clearly not from the same Sect.
"Why haven't those alchemists arrived yet?"
Among the crowd, a Bald Young Man dressed in coarse linen spoke in a deep voice. As soon as he finished speaking, several other burly men beside him echoed his impatience, and a sense of agitation began to rise among them.
"Brother Bai and the others might be delayed due to some matters. I ask the brothers of the Thick Earth Sect to remain calm. I apologize on their behalf."
Not far away, a young man in Dark Red Robes with a scar across his face approached briskly. He bowed respectfully to the Bald Young Man and his companions, showing more deference than he would to his own sect's seniors.
This person was not a disciple of the Danling Sect but was precisely Song Nanfeng, whom Fang Chen had been thinking about.
"Brother Bai?" The Bald Young Man glanced at Song Nanfeng and laughed heartily. "That sounds quite smooth; no wonder I've heard that disciples from Ziyang Sect have been getting close to those from Danling Sect lately. It seems they are all calling each other 'brother.' Tsk tsk..."
Laughter erupted, showing no regard for Song Nanfeng, and by extension, dragging the entire Ziyang Sect into it. The mockery embedded in their laughter was evident to all, implying that Song Nanfeng, as a disciple of Ziyang Sect, had become a dog for the disciples of Danling Sect.
However, in the face of such ridicule, Song Nanfeng's smile remained unchanged, as if he hadn't heard anything. The two people beside him slightly stiffened but soon fell silent.
After enough laughter, with no reaction from Song Nanfeng and his companions, the three Hulking Youths from Thick Earth Sect seemed to lose interest. They shrugged and stopped speaking, settling into silence as they waited.
Not long after, about half a minute later, a sudden rush of air pierced through the silence.
"Hmm? I didn't expect these three to show up as well." A soft voice emerged from among several young men dressed in deep blue robes.
Almost as soon as the words were spoken, three figures appeared before everyone amidst flickering Silver Light.
These were three individuals who looked almost identical. If Fang Chen were present, he would recognize them as the Shiyang Brothers who had attempted to snatch the Lava Demon Heart from him not long ago.
"Brother Stone Wu seems injured." A calm voice came from a young man in deep blue robes who seemed out of place in the surroundings. He walked forward with a hint of wave-like sound accompanying him toward the Shiyang Brothers.
"The Azure Mist Sect's Wind Howl!" Shiyang's expression tightened slightly; his face did not look good.
"Don't trouble yourselves!" At the side, Stone Horizontal raised his eyebrows and spoke coldly.
He was heavily burdened by Fire Fiend Power and had nearly lost his life to Fang Chen's Stone Wu. His face remained extremely pale, yet amidst the pallor, there were occasional flashes of a strange black-red hue. His aura was chaotic, as if he was deliberately suppressing something. Although still very weak, it was evident that he had improved significantly since Fang Chen had left. It was unclear what price the three of them had paid.
"Hehe..." Wind Howl and the others cast a deep glance at Stone Wu and the others, sneering but not pressing further. However, the atmosphere around them gradually became somewhat eerie.
At that moment, a sudden rush of air broke through from afar. This time, the commotion was even greater than when Shiyang and his companions had arrived, indicating that more than three people were coming.
"They're here."
Song Nanfeng's eyes lit up with joy.
"Hmm?" But in the next moment, the joy on his face froze.
Qi Energy surged as five figures appeared before everyone. These five were the very disciples of Danling Sect who had fled at an astonishing speed when Fang Chen encountered them.
After scanning back and forth among the five, confirming that one figure was missing, Song Nanfeng's expression subtly changed.
"Why hasn't Brother Bai from your sect come?" he asked, his tone respectful yet tinged with anxiety.
It was important to note that the relationship between Ziyang Sect and the other Six Sects had become extremely tense. The disciples of Ziyang Sect faced significant resistance and exclusion from many disciples of the other Six Sects. Song Nanfeng had worked hard to lower his pride and paid a considerable price to align himself with Lu Bai, an Outer Sect Disciple from Danling Sect.
He had hoped to use Lu Bai to ease the strained relations due to his affiliation with Ziyang Sect, making it easier for him in the future. But now that Lu Bai had not shown up... did something happen to him?
Seeing the suddenly grim faces of the five Danling Sect disciples across from him, a bad premonition arose in Song Nanfeng's heart.
Before he could speak again, a furious shout rang out.
"You still have the face to ask!" The originally grim-faced five Danling Sect disciples now fixed their eyes on him with murderous intent, as if they could strike at any moment, filled with deep resentment.
The sudden change not only puzzled those around them but left Song Nanfeng himself utterly bewildered. He had established good relationships with many Outer Sect Disciples from Danling Sect through various connections; in fact, he was familiar with two of the five standing before him.
But now...
What exactly happened?!
"Where did Brother Bai go? Why don't you ask your people from the Ziyang Sect!"
"Those despicable scoundrels dared to take advantage of our unguarded moment and sneakily ambush Brother Bai..."
"It's a pity for Brother Bai, a remarkable figure of our generation, now fallen to the hands of a petty thief."
The five of them exchanged glances and angrily rebuked each other, their eyes red with fury.
Although they had just met, and after Brother Bai quickly fell to Fang Chen's hands, they had fled in a frenzy without ever engaging Fang Chen. However, after careful analysis and elimination, they quickly concluded that the mysterious assailant who attacked them was indeed a disciple of the Ziyang Sect!
Because of this, when they saw Song Nanfeng, also from the Ziyang Sect, their hatred extended to everything related to it. How could they possibly show any good will? Not attacking him directly was already considered very generous!
Even Fang Chen himself did not expect that his unseen attack would bring considerable trouble to Song Nanfeng at that moment.
