147: The hunters are coming!

Chen Xian's words did not calm the prodigies down.

Instead, they vented all their anger on him.

"Don't panic? Are you with them?"

"I see. No wonder you insisted we wait here. You were secretly tipping them off, weren't you?"

"Chen Xian, if we are wiped out, you won't be able to escape responsibility either!"

Faced with their accusations and fury.

Chen Xian did not panic at all.

Instead, he said calmly, "If I were really with them, why would they even need to act?"

"I could deal with all of you by myself!"

"You..."

"Shut up!"

Chen Xian said with a cold expression, "Now, you can either run away and be crushed like ants, suffering a fate worse than death."

"Or, I'll give you a second option. Follow me and fight them!"

His words caused the expressions of the prodigies before him to change.

Fight them alongside Chen Xian?

This group of Hunters from the Western Continent were known for being cold-blooded killers!

Their reckless madness, in particular, chilled them to the bone. After all, they were all favored children of their Sects or Families, having come here to find Opportunities.

Who would be crazy enough to risk their lives against them?

Thus, they harbored an Innate fear of this organized group of Hunters from the Western Continent.

Even just hearing their names, these prodigies were defeated without a fight!

Chen Xian looked at the prodigies expressionlessly.

"What are your plans?"

The prodigies looked at each other.

It was certainly too late to leave now.

Their only option was to stand with Chen Xian; they just hoped Pei Ning and her group would be capable enough.

To protect them from the fate of being killed!

"Chen Xian, if we die, we won't let you off even in death!"

Chen Xian ignored their threats.

Beside him, Pei Ning said in a heavy tone, "Chen Xian, this group from the Western Continent doesn't come with good intentions. Should we avoid a direct confrontation?"

Chen Xian snorted.

"Me, avoid them?"

"Don't be overconfident. Although we of the Embroidered Uniform Guard are here to protect you, we aren't invincible."

"If a fight really breaks out, how many more times can you use that move from earlier?"

Seeing Pei Ning's serious expression.

Chen Xian said with a smile, "You think that was my ultimate move?"

"Was it not?"

"We need to be honest with each other right now, otherwise, everyone might die here!"

Chen Xian smiled and said, "You just need to listen to me. I have my own plans!"

At this moment, Gu Qingcheng and Zheng Yi stepped forward.

"We will follow the Young Lord to the death!"

Chen Xian was somewhat surprised by the two women's attitude.

After all, they had originally surrendered to him under pressure because of Sun Xiu.

For them to stand on the same side as him in just two days was indeed a bit startling.

Of course, what Chen Xian didn't know was that the two women had already analyzed the current situation thoroughly.

These prodigies were only following Chen Xian on the surface; in reality, the moment anything happened to him, they would be the first to turn on him!

Pei Ning and the other members of the Embroidered Uniform Guard were supposedly protecting Chen Xian, but they were actually more like monitors.

As daughters of Princes, they might be influential outside, but compared to the Emperor's trusted Embroidered Uniform Guard, they were nothing.

Not to mention those lunatics from the Western Continent.

Currently, following Chen Xian was the best choice!

As for now.

The group of Hunters from the Western Continent had already arrived in a hurry.

Upon arrival, they immediately surrounded Chen Xian and the others.

Naturally, Chen Xian and his group also saw a few familiar faces.

Besides the trapped members of the Yaochi Immortal Palace, Chen Xian also saw those Disciples of the Crimson Flame Sect he had released not long ago.

One of them said smugly, "Chen Xian, letting us go will be the biggest mistake you've ever made in your life!"

Then, he looked flatteringly at the man beside him.

"Lord Saint, this is the Chen Xian I told you about!"

"He is the Marquis of Jubei from the Da Gan Dynasty of the North Continent, and he recently obtained a ten thousand year fire lotus!"

Luo Hao stood among the Hunters; without saying a word, his position alone made it clear he was the core!

He looked at Chen Xian and said contemptuously, "Marquis of Jubei?"

"Never heard of him!"

As he spoke.

Everyone around him burst into loud laughter.

On Chen Xian's side, Pei Ning stood by him and whispered, "This man is Luo Hao, the Saint of the Wanfa Sect from the Western Continent, at the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment! He is cruel, tyrannical, and murderous."

"I was wondering who organized this group from the Western Continent to hunt together, but seeing him, it's no surprise!"

Chen Xian looked at Pei Ning with some surprise.

"I didn't expect you to be so well-informed about these powers!"

Pei Ning whispered, "Before entering the Shanhai Secret Realm, we research every power that enters the Secret Realm!"

"Chen Xian, you can't beat him, and I might not be able to either."

"If I lure them away in a bit and the Embroidered Uniform Guard escorts you out, there might be a way to survive. However, I need to borrow this little girl!"

Clearly, Pei Ning was thinking of the best way to ensure Chen Xian's safety.

Chen Xian shielded Zhou Duoer behind him and said with a smile, "Who said I was going to run?"

"The opponent is at the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment, you..."

"The Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment... is that scary?"

He glanced at the prodigies behind him.

The fear in their hearts was written all over their faces.

Chen Xian sneered.

His gaze fell upon Luo Hao.

The Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment!

Clearly, with the Golden Core Stage demonic cultivators and the Five Poisons Sect mixed in the back, this Luo Hao was likely just a figurehead.

"Hey! Where's that arrogance from before?"

The man from the Crimson Flame Sect looked at Chen Xian smugly!

His eyes were full of insolence!

In truth, after these few left, they were encountered by Luo Hao's group and were forced to surrender.

However, verbal surrender wasn't enough; they also signed a Soul contract with Luo Hao.

Their lives were now entirely at Luo Hao's mercy!

Because of this.

They desperately provoked Chen Xian and the others; since they were miserable, they wouldn't let Chen Xian's group have it easy either!

Their pathological mindset made them increasingly twisted.

Chen Xian looked at the Crimson Flame Sect Disciple who was speaking.

He sneered and said, "Heh, I'll make sure you won't be able to laugh in a moment!"

"Damn it, say that again if you dare!"

Just as the Crimson Flame Sect Disciple was about to continue his provocation, someone kicked him to the ground.

Luo Hao stepped on his head.

"I, the Saint, haven't even spoken yet. Who are you to be jumping around here?"

He looked wickedly at Chen Xian and the crowd behind him.

"I'll give you two choices!"

"Life or death?"

"If you want to live, sign a Soul contract with me! Submit to me!"

"If you want to die, we can fulfill that wish right now!"
