Chapter 170 Interception (2/2)

…

“Their numbers has increased?”

Zhou Yuan spread out his Spirit senses in the fog, pouring all his energy into scouting. Soon after, his expression changed slightly. He could faintly feel that the Genesis Qi undulations to their rear had increased.

Moreover, each one was extremely strong, indicating that they did not belong to a weakling.

Luluo’s face also changed slightly, clenching her jaw as she said, “Looks like they plan to surround us.”

Zhou Yuan frowned slightly. A brief moment later, the expression in his eyes suddenly turned solemn as he thrust the Heavenly Yuan Brush in his hand. Snow-white hairs transformed into a long whip as they shot towards a certain spot in the fog.

Plop!

A tree burst apart, revealing the figure behind it.

Zhou Yuan and Luluo’s gazes shot over, only to be stunned. The figure’s clothes were in tatters, making him look rather miserable. That pale complexion could only belong to the Yama Sect’s Zhen Xu.

“Zhen Xu?” Luluo was surprised. “Why are you hiding here?”

A thought suddenly struck Zhou Yuan as he gazed upon Zhen Xu’s expressionless face. “You were also attacked by those Dongxuan people?”

Zhen Xu was silent for a moment, before he nodded.

“You couldn’t beat your opponent?” Luluo said with disdain. Zhen Xu frowned as he said, “I do not fear the one who fought me, but there were two other individuals hidden nearby who had locked onto me, causing me to split my attention while not daring to use my full power. Hence how he found an opening.”

Luluo was stunned. “So despicable?”

Luluo hatefully said, “Why are these Dongxuan people causing trouble for us!”

Zhou Yuan calmly answered, “Because only those on your level can pose a threat to them.”

“They are unified, while you guys are scattered. Breaking all of you one by one will naturally lower the morale of all the Cangmang geniuses, taking away their courage such that they will no longer be able to vie for the gifts and blessings of the Saint Remains Domain.”

Zhen Xu coughed weakly twice, not saying anything as he turned around to leave

Zhou Yuan gazed upon Zhen Xu’s back and suddenly said, “They seem to be capable of seeing through the fog. I advise you to join us.”

Zhen Xu was obviously quite seriously injured. If he were to move alone, Wu Huang, Ye Ming and the rest would definitely catch up. When that happened, things would not be pretty.

Zhen Xu’s foot paused, turning his head slightly as his ash-colored eyes looked towards Zhou Yuan. “I attacked you earlier, but you’re still fine with helping me?”

Zhou Yuan smiled thinly. “There is no big grudge between us, but the fact is that those fellows behind have joined up with Wu Huang. Thus, I naturally have to know what’s important.”

Zhen Xu was silent.

“Stop being so wishy-washy. You should clearly know your current state. If you want to die, go ahead and leave.”

Zhen Xu’s eyes flickered slightly. In the end, his figure suddenly launched into the air and landed on the ice bird’s back.

“Thank you. I will remember this debt.” Said Zhen Xu with some difficulty. He was clearly a somewhat conflicted and embarrassed. After all, he had attacked Zhou Yuan not too long ago, but now needed to borrow the latter’s strength.

Zhou Yuan nonchalantly waved his hand. Wu Huang had allied himself with the Dongxuan people, so he naturally needed to gather some allies of his own. Zhen Xu and the others, whom were being targeted by the Dongxuan people, were obviously the best choice.

“What do we do now? Where do we go? They have the numbers superiority, while we have injured on our side. We will surely be wiped out if we faced them.” There was a bitter look on Luluo’s face.

Zhou Yuan pondered in silence for a few moments, his eyes flickering in thought. A short while later, he pointed towards the deepest depths of the fog.

“You said before that there are quite a number of grade 4 Genesis Beasts, and even a mysterious Genesis Beast leader at the deepest part of the mountain range where the golden pool is?”

“Yes.”

“Then that’s where we’ll be heading… only by stirring up some chaos will we be able to lose them.”
