Chapter 230: Sowing Discord

Hu Rui's expression was heavy, and she spoke coldly…

Sun Mingqi.

A powerhouse of the Tongtian Realm Level 2.

"Are you Sun Mingqi?"

Xiao Fan looked coldly at the man before him. He wore a blue robe, his black hair draped over his shoulders, and he had a slender build. Based on his appearance alone, he could be called a handsome man.

"Correct…"

Sun Mingqi smiled faintly: "Unexpectedly, you were even able to dodge the previous attack with just one arm."

No panic could be seen in Sun Mingqi's expression.

"Why did you ambush me?"

Xiao Fan asked in a deep voice, clenching his right hand. He was truly angry now.

"Ambush you?"

Sun Mingqi shook his head with a bitter smile and said faintly: "Didn't you also ambush my Second Uncle back then?"

"Your Second Uncle?"

Xiao Fan raised an eyebrow and then said: "Deacon Sun from the Outer Sect?"

Sun Mingqi nodded, a ferocious smile appearing at the corner of his mouth: "That's right, he is my Second Uncle. You injured someone from my Sun Family; did you think things would end so easily?"

Xiao Fan let out a breath, realizing the cause of the matter.

Behind Sun Mingqi stood over twenty Outer Sect Disciples in blue robes, all at the Huaqi Realm Level 8 or 9, including six powerhouses at the Half-step Tongtian Realm.

In contrast, he only had a dozen or so people on his side.

If it were only Xiao Fan, he could temporarily escape.

Given the opponent's strength, it would be impossible for them to catch up to him.

But now he had Hu Rui, Nangong Lingxuan, and their group with him, and Qiao Rong was here as well.

Xiao Fan looked at Sun Mingqi and said faintly: "If you want revenge, feel free to come at me."

Sun Mingqi shook his head with a bitter smile. Ignoring Xiao Fan, he turned his gaze toward Hu Rui and the others.

"Junior Sister Hu, today is a private grudge between Xiao Fan and me, and I do not wish to involve you all. If you withdraw now, we will not attack you. How about it?"

Hearing this, Hu Rui raised an eyebrow: "You want us to abandon Xiao Fan?"

"That's right." Sun Mingqi nodded; that was indeed his intention.

Hu Rui's cultivation was at the Tongtian Realm Level 2, and her strength was comparable to his.

Furthermore, the other side had more than ten female Disciples, all of whom had not-so-weak cultivation levels.

He did not want a hard fight!

"You want me to abandon my companion? Impossible."

Hu Rui stepped forward, her Aura suddenly surging.

Xiao Fan took a deep look at Hu Rui and silently noted this favor.

Nangong Lingxuan did not speak, but a white longsword had already appeared in her hand.

However, the group of female Disciples behind them all had complicated expressions…

Sun Mingqi smiled and ignored Hu Rui, instead speaking loudly to the female Disciples behind her: "Junior Sisters, I believe you all have no connection to Xiao Fan. Do you really intend to fight to the death with us here? Is it worth it for Xiao Fan?"

"You came here to participate in the Inner Sect selection and ultimately become Inner Sect Disciples! Are you willing to give that up for Xiao Fan?"

"Besides, look clearly at the numbers. Do you think the dozen or so of you can stop us?"

The female Disciples behind Hu Rui who had not yet taken a stance had even more complicated expressions.

In truth, they knew all of this.

Fight Sun Mingqi for Xiao Fan?

Is it worth it?

Of course it is not worth it.

They were not familiar with Xiao Fan; in fact, most of them were meeting him for the first time.

To engage in a bitter struggle against a group of people for Xiao Fan, they might lose their qualifications and be eliminated. Is this worth it?

It is definitely not worth it.

Xiao Fan also turned his gaze toward the group of women. He did not speak, just watched silently, his expression calm, devoid of joy or sorrow…

Qiao Rong was the same, looking calmly in the direction of the women, also not speaking.

Hearing this, Hu Rui turned her head and glanced at the many female Disciples.

A look of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

Their reaction was already very obvious…

They were unwilling to fight for Xiao Fan.

Or rather, among this group, only she and Nangong Lingxuan were willing to take action for Xiao Fan!

And counting the two of them plus Xiao Fan, could they defeat the opponent's twenty-plus people, including a Tongtian Realm Level 2 Sun Mingqi?

It would be difficult!

Sun Mingqi smiled and continued to say to the many female Disciples: "Junior Sisters, how about this? I will give you all a promise here: if you choose to withdraw from the upcoming battle now, I guarantee that I and my companions will not attack you in the coming days. How about it?"

"You must know… this way, your chances of lasting through the seven days will greatly increase, and you might even become Inner Sect Disciples."

Sun Mingqi's words were clearly meant to sow discord.

However, although everyone knew this, they were still deeply tempted.

Because the conditions offered by Sun Mingqi were too tempting.

The dozen or so female Disciples lowered their heads and remained silent…

A look of disappointment flashed in Hu Rui's eyes. She turned around and said: "If you are unwilling to take action… that is fine. From this moment on, I am leaving the group."

Hearing these words, everyone around was stunned…

"Senior Sister Hu, don't talk nonsense. How can you leave!"

"Exactly, Senior Sister Hu, are you really going to fight for Xiao Fan?"

"We are not familiar with him… today is only the first time we've met…"

"Senior Sister Hu…"

"…"

A crowd of female Disciples spoke up to dissuade her.

Sun Mingqi sneered, not in a hurry to speak; this was the effect he wanted.

Killing two birds with one stone!!

Nangong Lingxuan's eyes were cold and sharp; she also did not speak.

"Senior Sister Hu, you don't have to do this!"
