Chapter 135 Zuoqiu Qingyu (2/2)
“The Saint Remains Domain is filled with mystery and anything can happen there, and he cannot possibly protect Zhou Yuan all the time. Once they’re separated, killing Zhou Yuan will be as easy as a flip of the hand.”
Xiao Tianxuan looked towards Gu Ling as he continued, “That’s why there’s no need to worry. A mere Qi Nourishing stage kid won’t be able to create any splashes.”
Gu Ling smiled faintly, her gaze seemingly much gentler when she looked towards Xiao Tianxuan.
Xiao Tianxuan suddenly said, “The envoys from the six sacred sects will arrive at Saint Remains City tomorrow. I believe that the Saint Remains Domain will open soon.”
Joy and anticipation were revealed in the eyes of Gu Ling and the other geniuses.
The Saint Remains Domain was surrounded by a giant holy river. It was said that even a leaf would sink when it fell into the waters of the holy river, while fog dominated the sky above the river all year long.
This fog was extremely strange. Anyone who entered would immediately lose his sense of direction, and a single wrong turn was all it would take to fall into the river and drown.
Fortunately, the mist would grow thinner every once in a while. As long as a powerful practitioner took advantage of this timing, a route could be torn open, allowing people to be sent in.
There were no practitioners of this level in the Cangmang Continent, only the six sacred sects had such power. Hence, they would send out envoys to help open the Saint Remains Domain, which also gave them first pick of the prided geniuses that managed to distinguish themselves from the rest.
The arrival of the envoys from the six scared sects meant that the Saint Remains Domain everyone yearned for even in their dreams was about to open.
...
“I’m so mad! That bastard Xiao Tianxuan. I’ll definitely teach him a lesson if we meet in the Saint Remains Domain!” Along the way, Luluo was still seething, clearly rather miffed that Xiao Tianxuan had actually dared to not give her face.
Zhou Yuan chuckled, but did not say anything about this topic. Although there were some twists and turns, they had ultimately succeeded in obtaining the Underworld Spirit Fruit and Vermillion Blood Grass. Tonight, he would borrow the power of these two Genesis resources to absorb a drop of Spirit source energy. Once he did so, he would surely break into the advance Illusory stage.
He suddenly turned his head somewhat helplessly and looked in Yaoyao’s direction, only to find Zuoqiu Qingyu grinning widely as an unending stream of words left her mouth, “Brother Xiaoyao, where are you from?”
“I can see that although you do not have any Genesis Qi, your Spirit is extremely powerful. We should team up so we can watch each other’s backs in the Saint Remains Domain.”
Yaoyao was split between being annoyed and amused, but she could not be bothered to explain things, so she ended up ignoring Zuoqiu Qingyu.
Yaoyao said to Zhou Yuan, “I’m hungry, let's eat.”
A smiling Zuoqiu Qingyu quipped, “Everyone, since fate has brought us together, let me treat all of you to a meal. The delicacies of the House of Geniuses is number 1 in Saint Remains City!”
Yaoyao paid her no attention, Luluo’s large eyes began sparkling when she heard the word delicacies, while Zhou Yuan was naturally indifferent. Although Zuoqiu Qingyu was a little odd, she was indeed very strong, and having more friends was something Zhou Yuan would not reject.
Hence, the group was led to the upper floors of the House of Geniuses by Zuoqiu Qingyu. However, Zhou Yuan’s footsteps suddenly froze the moment he stepped onto a certain floor.
He lifted his head as if sensing something, and looked towards the far right where a figure in gold robes was peacefully seated next to the window. The seats around him were empty because of the astonishing aura that swirled around his body, an aura that made everyone wary.
Bzz!
When Zhou Yuan’s gaze fell upon the figure in gold, the Omni Python Qi in his body involuntarily began to heave as if releasing an angry roar.
The Dragon’s Resentment Poison on his palm also hissed as an intense pain pulsed from his hand.
The emotions on Zhou Yuan’s face were cut away bit by bit, still as a statue as he stared at the figure in golden robes.
The figure in golden robes also seemed to sense something, the moving tea cup in his hand pausing slightly, before he slowly turned his head.
The gazes of the two met at this moment.
The entire world seemed to fall into silence.
Rumble!
Thunder rumbled in their bodies as their blood began to boil.
In an instant, both of them simultaneously knew who the other party was.
Great Zhou Empire, Zhou Yuan.
Great Wu Empire, Wu Huang.
