C17: Two Disciples from the Upper Division

guilt appeared in Shang Xia's heart and he turned his head away in order to avoid Guo You's gaze.

Their behavior didn't affect Wu Tinghai and Yuan Zilu who were catching up with each other.

Even though the two of them were talking to each other, Shang Xia couldn't help but realize that the gazes of the disciples from the upper division were flittering past the students from the outer division.

onwards. The only difference was that there were two disciples from the upper division following them.

"Wow! It's so pretty out there!" One of the outer disciples cried out softly.

Even though they had been reminded time and time again to remain cautious in the battlefield between the two worlds, they were still shocked by the magnificent scenery around them. Many tossed the warnings to the back of their minds.

As the heaven and earth qi grew even denser, the air around them seemed to grow heavier. Since Yuan Zilu warned them about the dangers brought by the chaotic heaven and earth qi, everyone was able to prepare adequately.

"All of you should raise your guards now. We have truly entered the battlefield between two worlds!"

"If you wish to keep your sorry little lives, start paying attention to your surroundings. You're not here for sightseeing." Yuan Zilu's voice boomed in the minds of the outer disciples. His tone was grim, and there wasn't much else he could say.

"You should really listen to Senior Yuan…" A comforting voice soon followed and it caught everyone's attention.

Even Shang Xia had to admit that he nearly forgot about the dangers they were facing when they entered the battlefield between the two worlds.

Frowning slightly, Shang Xia turned to look at Tian Mengzi who gave them the warning. No one knew when, but he was traveling beside the outer disciples at the rear of the convoy.

Jin Guanchao was beside him, but due to Tian Mengzi's overpowering aura, everyone failed to notice his presence. Shang Xia was no exception.

Tian Mengzi's gaze soon swept across those present. A flash of disappointment appeared in his eyes and he sighed, "Are you from the third outer division? Why isn't your teacher here?"

Teacher? Sun Haiwei?

and he started to talk about Sun Haiwei.

Raising his eyebrow slightly, Tian Mengzi exclaimed, "She changed her plans and asked you to take her place?"

He turned to look at Jin Guanchao who was beside him and only then did Shang Xia notice the other disciple's presence.

When Tian Mengzi came over to talk to him, Jin Guanchao was clearly doing his own thing! When in the world did he appear?!

Shang Xia also discovered the looks of shock on the faces of the outer disciples. It seemed as though he wasn't the only one who didn't discover Jin Guanchao's presence.

Jin Guanchao was also surprised. Naturally, it had nothing to do with Shang Xia's discovery of his presence. Instead, he was taken aback by Sun Haiwei's decision.

It was clear that Sun Haiwei had some sort of agreement with the two of them to enter the battlefield between two worlds.

"Was she really anxious when she asked you to replace her?" Tian Mengzi followed up with another question.

After receiving a confirmation from Shang Xia, a trace of joy could be seen on his face. However, an envious look soon followed. "Yeah… She has been stuck for quite some time at her current realm. She went over to the outer division in order to focus on her cultivation. Now, it seems she's going to break through before us."

After he spoke, Tian Mengzi turned to look at Shang Xia. "In the past, your teacher requested for me to accompany you guys to the Tongyou Peak. Even though she isn't here, Junior Brother Jin and I will definitely ensure your safety!"

Turning to look at Jin Guanchao, he reminded everyone of the latter's presence again.

Shang Xia once again realized that he had forgotten that Jin Guanchao was present.

"Oh right, your Chief Shang is also here to protect you."

"Be careful!" Yuan Zilu's voice boomed all of a sudden.
