Chapter 736 (1/2)
When they heard Dongfang Hanyue’s confession, Dongfang and all the Supreme Elders had been silent.
“Zhou Weiqing did not hide anything from me. I’ve asked him why he did what he did. He said he didn’t know why but he didn’t regret it.”
As Dongfang Yue inhaled forcefully and deeply, her eyes were already wet. “Everyone, you’re right. He came here with an ulterior motive. He came here for the Spatial Teleportation Stone. However, did he hurt us in any way? No. On the contrary, he saved every one of us. And what are we doing? We’re suspecting him, and we even thought about dealing with him forcefully. I can’t do something like this. Moreover, I’ve already given him the stone.”
Hearing her final sentence, all four Supreme Elders widened their eyes in disbelief. Dongfang screeched, “What? You’ve given him the Spatial Teleportation Stone? Hanyue, how could you?”
Dongfang Hanyue retorted calmly, “Why couldn’t I? I’m still the Mysterious Heavenly Palace Master. According to the rules of the Mysterious Heavenly Palace, the Palace Master has the power to utilize all the resources in the Palace. Have you considered this, how old is Zhou Weiqing? Plus, he’s not like us. We obtained our strength through legacy. He started from scratch, cultivating his strength through talent alone. Yes, he’s from the Boundless Mainland, and he’ll one day go home. However, is it more important to befriend someone who’s fated to advance to Heavenly God tier or is the Spatial Teleportation Stone that only has a few more uses left more important? I’d like to befriend him. Who knows, he may be of help to us in the future. But then you went and capture Shangguan Bing’er, wasting all my efforts. Maybe I’ll never be able to convince you, but it’ll be the same the other way around. I rather resign as Mysterious Heavenly Palace Master than participate in your schemes against Zhou Weiqing.”
Her gaze had already turned sharp, “Lastly, Zhou Weiqing didn’t want my Spatial Teleportation Stone for free. He had bestowed me with a portion of the miraculous Saint Energy. I have an instinct, with this incredible power, the bottleneck I was stuck at from inheriting Father’s Heavenly Energy will no longer be a problem.”
As she was speaking, Dongfang Hanyue stood and left indignantly. She needed to have a conversation with Shangguan Bing’er.
Seeing Dongfang Hanyue’s departure, all five of the faces turned sour.
Dongfang sighed, “A grown girl cannot be kept at home! That silly girl, doesn’t she know it’s impossible for them to be together?”
Elder Water said with a wry smile, “It looks like we should consider her points as well. We cannot let Zhou Weiqing come between the Palace Master and us. Furthermore, her points are not illogical! Perhaps she has seen the bigger picture.”
Dongfang was contemplative, “If Hanyue can advance into Heavenly God tier, a Spatial Teleportation Stone is nothing.”
…
Naturally, Zhou Weiqing did not know what had transpired in the Mysterious Heavenly Palace. With his Dragon-Tiger Transformation, he traveled in almost a straight line towards the Mysterious Heavenly Palace at maximum speed.
From afar, the mountain range which the Mysterious Heavenly Palace was built on was already in view. The whole time he was flying, his fury grew stronger and stronger. Not once did he stop trying to get in touch with Shangguan Bing’er but there was no response. The worry in his heart turned into burning rage. To save his love, he would not mind taking on the whole world.
However, no matter how angry he was, he could not raise his temper against Dongfang Hanyue. Could he sneak into the Mysterious Heavenly Palace? No, that was almost certainly impossible.
If Mysterious Heavenly Palace held Bing’er captive, they would definitely have thought about him sneaking in to rescue her. With so many powerhouses and the Blackfiend Dragon, it was almost impossible for him to succeed in rescuing her by stealth. Since that was the case, he might as well act arrogantly for once.
With that thought in mind, Zhou Weiqing was no longer hesitant and he flew towards the Mysterious Heavenly Palace. In his excitement, it felt as if the Saint Energy in his body was boiling over. After all, with his current cultivation, even if he had flown for a long time using Dragon-Tiger Transformation, he still had an abundance of Saint Energy. It did not burden him too much to do so.
The Mysterious Heavenly Palace appeared in his view from a distance. By the time he saw it, he heard people yelling from below. At least a hundred silhouettes leaped into the air trying to block Zhou Weiqing from approaching.
Zhou Weiqing was not too familiar with the Mysterious Heavenly Palace’s fighting power. However, as the only Saint Land in the Mysterious Heavenly Mainland, how could it not have Anti-Air skills?
Zhou Weiqing stopped in the air and looked down. The ones flying towards him were not only Heavenly Jewel Masters, but their Heavenly Beasts were also with them. The Heavenly Beasts were at different stages of cultivation but they were all strong flying Heavenly Beasts. Even the weakest of them had the cultivation of Zun-stage. All of the Heavenly Jewel Masters had at least five Heavenly Jewels too. It was clear that they rushed in as soon as they noticed Zhou Weiqing.
