"These people must belong to the same faction. It just so happens I can ask them about the current state of the Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm," Chu Feng said with a smile.
Chu Feng had intended to gather information from them, so he stood there, waiting for them to approach.
In his boredom, he also observed their lip movements, trying to figure out what they were discussing.
And just as Chu Feng had guessed, these people were indeed from the same faction, called the Jade Mountain Sect.
The sect master of the Jade Mountain Sect was an elder with the cultivation of a Rank Four Martial Ancestor.
At present, the Jade Mountain Sect had gathered nearly all of its elite forces, led personally by their sect master in a full-scale mobilization — all to crusade against a hostile faction.
And among that hostile faction, they mentioned a name.
That name made Chu Feng's heart skip a beat.
"Liu Xiaoli?"
Chu Feng was all too familiar with that name, because the president of the Red Butterfly Association was named Liu Xiaoli.
Moreover, judging from the conversations among the Jade Mountain Sect members, the Liu Xiaoli they spoke of was also a woman.
Furthermore, she possessed the cultivation of a Rank Two Martial Ancestor, which was quite close to Liu Xiaoli's level.
When they had last parted ways, Liu Xiaoli had only been a Rank One Martial Ancestor. But her talent was extraordinary, so she could very well have advanced to Rank Two by now.
"It might just be a coincidence. There are far too many people in the world who share the same name."
"Besides, even if the Red Butterfly Association relocated, there's no way they'd end up all the way out here," the Queen said.
"It could be a coincidence, but it might not be. The way they described that Liu Xiaoli sounds exactly like the one we know. Since this has fallen into my lap, I ought to go take a look." With that, Chu Feng melted into the void.
With his current cultivation, anyone below the True Immortal realm would have a very hard time detecting him when he chose to conceal himself.
Before long, the group from the Jade Mountain Sect passed by Chu Feng's position and continued onward. They never noticed that someone had hidden himself in the void and silently slipped into their midst.
Following the group, Chu Feng swiftly swept across the plains and arrived at the foot of a towering mountain.
Observing through his Heavenly Eye, Chu Feng discovered that nestled within the mountain was a sect.
The sect didn't have many members, and its halls were few in number. Everything looked brand new, as if it had been founded only recently.
And right now, this sect was under siege.
Chu Feng realized that the faction he had been tailing — the Jade Mountain Sect — was one of the forces laying siege to that sect.
Counting them all up, there were six factions preparing to encircle and attack.
Fortunately, the two sides were still at a standoff, and no real fighting had broken out yet.
But the besieged sect was outnumbered and outmatched. On the surface, it was clearly in a perilous situation.
However, the sect master of that besieged sect showed no change in expression despite facing the siege of a Rank Three Martial Ancestor.
Most importantly, the sect master herself was only a Rank Two Martial Ancestor — an entire rank below the faction leaders arrayed against her.
And most crucially of all, that sect master was a woman. Her appearance was nothing like Liu Xiaoli's.
Yet Chu Feng recognized at a single glance that the woman was indeed Liu Xiaoli, only with her features disguised.
Not only had Liu Xiaoli altered her appearance, but the elders standing at her sides were all former elders of the Red Butterfly Association. They, too, had changed their faces, just as Liu Xiaoli had.
