Cheat Cultivator's Ascension

"The hell is this kid talking about, scram out of here!" the young man called Ah Gong, surprised by the sudden appearance of Wu Xiaotian.

Even Huang Xie was surprised by Wu Xiaotian, however, he managed to keep his cool unlike Ah Gong and mocks Wu Xiaotian in his mind, thinking the guy is delirious not only to feel the existence of other people from afar but also to think that he would believe whatever the guy told him.

Getting up from his seat, ready to teach him a lesson to behave properly, his ego preventing him from realizing just how Wu Xiaotian managed to sneak close to the two of them without them noticing.

Ready to speak of and send his pair of fists, he was interrupted when one of his group's members, who's on a scout duty shouts from the distance, clearly trying to find him as the scout shouts his name again and again.

The scout, turning his head all around eventually saw Huang Xie, sprinting towards him with clear panic on his face as he starts yelling, "Big Brother Huang, there are two groups of dozens of people approaching here from the forest!! We can't see through their cultivation!!"

The statement makes the two young man shocked, not only because of the strength the approaching group is far more than theirs, but also because the kid in front of them whom they thought was a weakling that can be easily exploited managed to sense the approaching people before their scout managed to inform them.

Of course, there's a possibility that this guy in front of them was a part of one of the groups but Huang Xie was now also doubting whether it would be wise to attack this guy without any proper knowledge of him at all.

Seeing the doubting look in his eyes, Wu Xiaotian smiles in his mind as he thought that at least there would be no annoying flies that will bother him for now.

Regaining composure, Huang Xie clears his throat before asking the scout for the approaching groups location, and said to him, "You go there first to try and delay them. We will inform the camp"

Without even a doubt, the scout once again rushes towards the approaching group, trying to get an idea of who they were and be helpful to his 'Big Brother Huang'.

Huang XIe was thorough on his work though, within seconds, he managed to organize the whole camp and prepare the people all around for whatever confrontation that might happen.

The people all around are nervous, knowing that it has been a while but the scout hasn't gone back yet, seeing this, Huang Xie couldn't help but get irritated, thinking how useless this group was but still managed to calm himself, refusing to tore down his façade as he comforts the group in a jovial voice, "There's no need to worry everyone, everyone knows that it is strictly forbidden for the participants to kill each other in the secret realm so death is an unlikely scenario, and even if those group might want to rob us, they will go against me first before getting you all"

"As expected of Brother Huang!!"

"Bro Huang, I'll follow you for life!"

"With Bro Huang here, there's no need for us to worry!!"

Hearing this people praising the guy who just planned to rob him, Wu Xiaotian couldn't help but laugh in his mind as he muttered, 'Yeah that's right, there's no need for y'all to worry, there's no fight happening as even your 'Bro Huang' will be easily dealt with by those two groups' weakest members'.

As the people from the forest get closer, Wu Xiaotian now has a visual of them, the way they move clearly tell that there is a group of two, their numbers both approaching the hundred, the first group being purely female and the second one being a mixed group, with men being the majority of them.

'They're at least at least approaching the Advance State Pedestal Establishment Realm, meanwhile, this Huang Xie clearly just entered the Intermediate State, so it's certain that there will be no fight…' Wu Xiaotian though before directing his attention towards two people in each group.

One of the two people he's paying attention to is a girl of around 18 years old, clear white smooth skin and a rosy cheek, clear, bright large eyes and a long black hair, while clearly beneath the level of the women he encountered, can still be considered on a league of her own. Behind her are numerous female cultivators, most of them can be considered beautiful on their own rights.

The other one is a fierce looking male, standing at around 180 centimeters with a head full of fiery red hair, unkempt similar to his eyebrows, his eyes with a ferocious gaze.

'Core Formation Realms' Wu Xiaotian thought as he realizes that the group he's currently in might be in a lot of trouble, before retracting his senses and adding, 'and Intermediate States at that.'

The two groups gradually close in on theirs, and as soon as they arrived, one of the guys behind the fierce looking young man throws the scout on the ground, unconscious and his body full of bruises.

Seeing the state their scout is in, the camp led by Huang Xie was shivering in fear, terrified of what this people might do to them. Even Huang Xie is appalled of the horrors the scout has suffered, and his knees might have been shaking if not for his will to keep his face in front of everyone.

"I wonder what your name is fellow cultivators" cupping his fists, Huang Xie politely greeted hoping that this passing group will just go on their way and just ignore them, however, his hopes were bound to be shattered when the red-haired young man spoke.

"Got a lot of nerves to send someone to spy on us…" the red-haired young man slowly approached Huang Xie, his eyes those of a hunter ready to crush a prey.

"I-it wasn't a spy I just sent him just in case you have malicious intent" panicked by the red-haired man's sudden release of aura, Huang Xie starts stuttering as he tries his best to explain himself.

"So what if we have malicious intent? You think you can stop us from what we want to do when you're all that weak? This thing is making me laugh" the red-haired man, seemingly trying to find some sort of response as he watches Huang Xie panic viciously mocks him, causing the group behind him to laugh loudly.

"I suggest you not do anything funny fellow cultivator, the rule of the secret realm states that…" feeling humiliation completely piling up on him, Huang Xie starts talking again only to be interrupted by the red-haired young man.

"Blah blah Rule this rule that, do you really think anyone can protect you when I want to kill you huh?" the red-haired man, clearly annoyed pulls out a war axe from his spatial ring, its design an interweaving flame that captivates everyone.

"That… that's the Soul Burning Axe!!!" one of Huang Xie's people shouts, clearly familiar with the axe.

"What?! That's the Soul Burning Axe?! Then that young man is…." Another one said, unaware that his voice is loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Myriad Flame Sect, Huo Chen…" Huang Xie started to cower in fear as he realizes the identity of the young man in front of him.

"That's right trash, now do you know how insignificant the rules you're saying is in front of me?" the red-haired young man said as he points out the axe in Huang Xie's face using only one hand.

"I-I'm s-sorry Sir Huo, I never knew your appearance so…" before Huang Xie even finished, the red-haired man already starts swinging down his axe, terrifying him so much that he starts blurting out.

"W-wait, t-that energy release, t-there's someone near the thing when i-it happens, I know who t-the guy is!!"

Before the sound of metal tearing into flesh was heard, the axe in the red-haired young man's hand was stopped by a sword held by a dainty hand. The owner of the hand, spoke as she saw the red-haired young man's clear annoyance.

"Chen Huo, how about you stop now? We need more people to open that place after all."

Hearing this, the red-haired young man snapped out of his rage, clicking his tongue on the lady before leaving, but not before threatening Huang Xie.

"Follow us or else die" the red-haired young man said before going back.
