25. Assembled

Before Jiang Xue could finish her sentence, her soft body moved closer to Chen Xuan.

"???"

Chen Xuan didn't have time to say anything before her red lips pressed onto his, silencing him, allowing him to savor the sweetness!

Then...

(A thousand words are omitted here. Feel free to use your imagination.)

Three days later.

Chen Xuan embarked on his journey to the Ancient Desolate Monument.

The Ancient Desolate Monument was the oldest entity in the Desolate County.

Due to the powerful seals placed upon it, it had stood unscathed on the Desolate Plains for countless years. Only when the seals weakened did strong individuals and forces from all over gather.

Chen Xuan stood on the grassy plains of the Desolate Plains, watching the crowd move like ants.

Shadows occasionally flew by in the sky, with people riding various flying mounts and spirit treasures.

Conversations from the crowd filled his ears.

In a flash, Chen Xuan disappeared from his spot, leaving the onlookers stunned.

"Did I just imagine that? That person... just vanished out of thin air?"

"You must be seeing things!"

"Exactly! The deeper you go into the Desolate Plains, the stronger the restrictions. Who besides a Nirvana Realm expert can fly in the sky?"

"Third brother, I think you've spent too much energy on women, which is why your legs are weak and your vision is blurry!"

"Hahaha…"

More and more people gathered, and the Desolate Plains hadn't been this lively in a long time.

In front of the Ancient Desolate Monument…

"Move aside, everyone! Don't you see that our young master, Teng Lei, is coming?"

"Get lost! Don't block the way!"

"What are you looking at? Are your eyes just for show? Get out of the way! Young Master, please…"

"Move aside like good dogs! Get out!"

"Young Master, this spot seems good."

…

Surrounded by a group of flatterers, a man dressed in blood-red robes with a skeletal face emerged.

This was none other than Teng Lei, the young master of the Ghost Puppet Cult, a skilled middle level Symbol Master.

Beside him was a man with a sinister, effeminate appearance—Hua Zong, the great protector of Ghost Puppet Cult in Great Rafly City and the son of elder Hua Gu.

Along with them were two other formidable experts, both at the early level of Qi Creation Realm, making for an intimidating group.

As they occupied a prime spot, the crowd around them parted, watching them warily and not daring to approach.

"Teng Lei, you're really throwing your weight around!"

At that moment, a soft, alluring voice broke through the crowd.

A woman in a red dress, with a charming smile, walked out.

She looked very young, her skin white as snow, and her silky black hair tied casually with a simple jade pin. Her whole being exuded a seductive charm.

Behind her were several other experts at the Qi Creation Realm.

Teng Lei glanced at the red-dressed woman and sneered, "Mu Qianqian, don't get too cocky. Once my father breaks through to the Peak of Manifestation Realm, you'll be mine!"

Mu Qianqian was born with a seductive physique; every gesture she made could captivate any man.

Many sought to hold her in their arms, and Teng Lei was no exception.

Mu Qianqian chuckled, "Teng Lei, if breaking through to the Peak of Manifestation Realm was so easy, your father would have already unified the Desolate County."

Teng Lei gave her a lecherous look. "Just you wait, Mu Qianqian. That day is coming soon! When it does, I'll make you beg for mercy!"

Mu Qianqian wasn't bothered by Teng Lei's lustful gaze. Instead, she smiled teasingly, "I'll be waiting."

"Haha, Teng Lei! Why all the talk? Why don't you two just fight already?"

A loud laugh rang out, and a large group of people flew in from the distance. Leading them was a young man dressed in black, whose strength rivaled that of both Mu Qianqian and Teng Lei.

Mu Qianqian laughed and rolled her eyes, "If you want to fight, go ahead. This lady has no time for such things."

As the major powers of Desolate County gathered, the scene reached a new peak of excitement.

"I never thought the top geniuses of Desolate County would all come here!"

"That Mu Qianqian from the Great Devil Sect is really something. No wonder she's called a temptress!"

"Yeah, I've heard that countless young men from the Great Devil Sect have fought over her!"

"If I could hold such a beauty, I'd gladly live ten years less!"

"Shh! Quiet down! Do you have a death wish? Didn't you hear what Teng Lei said?"

"…Look! The people from the Four Great Clans have arrived!"

…

As the crowd whispered among themselves, a sudden gust of wind blew from the rear of the crowd.

Everyone turned to look and gasped in shock.

Exclamations filled the air.

Dozens of figures flew just above the ground, moving swiftly in low-altitude flight.

In the depths of the Desolate Plains, skilled individuals could withstand the pressure and fly close to the ground, but only Nirvana Realm experts could soar high above.

Leading the group was Lin Langtian, dressed in a blue robe with his hands behind his back, exuding arrogance. He had reached the Half-Step Manifestation Realm.

He was accompanied by several experts from the Lin Clan, including a striking woman.

Dressed in white, with a delicate and clear face, the most eye-catching feature was her pair of blue-glowing, double-pupil eyes.

This was Lin Ke'er.

Shortly after, the Qin Clan's Qin Shi and the Wang Clan's Wang Yan also arrived.

Just as everyone was wondering if the Huangpu Clan would show up, a massive sword light split the sky.

Atop the sword was a tall, slender woman in a light green dress, her silver hair flowing gracefully.

Her face was beautiful, though cold and distant, giving off an aura that kept people at arm's length.

Wang Yan stepped forward and joked, "Huangpu Jing, you sure took your sweet time!"

Huangpu Jing scoffed, "Wang Yan, are you itching for a fight?"

Wang Yan, holding his golden spear, retorted, "What? Want to brawl? Just because others fear you, doesn't mean I do!"

"You…"

Before Huangpu Jing could say more, her face suddenly changed. She quickly looked up at the sky.

Lin Langtian, Wang Yan, Qin Shi, and the other experts also noticed something terrifying in the sky, their faces filled with shock as they looked upward.

Everyone else followed their gaze, wondering what had caught the attention of the strongest individuals from the Four Great Clans.

In the next second, a man dressed in white descended from the sky, his robe fluttering gracefully like a celestial being.

But what truly shocked everyone was this—wasn't there supposed to be a powerful restriction preventing anyone from flying here?

How could he do that?
