Chapter 258 (2/2)

Chen Yuan’s appearance meant that there would no longer be a battle between Zhou Yuan and Lu Feng.

Both of them exchanged an icy glance, before withdrawing the surging Genesis Qi around their bodies.

“Zhou Yuan, you’d better treasure what time you have left. When the peak selection ceremony arrives, I will personally pummel you into the abyss. Then, you will know that you amount to nothing in my eyes.” Lu Feng stood with his hands behind his body, his eerily chilling gaze directed straight at Zhou Yuan.

Their grudge had started with Gu Hongyi, but now, Lu Feng would still view Zhou Yuan as an enemy even without her.

Because Lu Feng could already feel that Zhou Yuan was beginning to threaten his position.

In the past, Zhou Yuan had merely been an ant in his eyes, not even worthy of any attention. Later on, however, Lu Feng began to observe Zhou Yuan’s astonishing rise amongst the outer mountains disciples, the concealed sharp blade he was no longer able to be hidden.

Lu Feng had began to feel threatened, and he could not tolerate a disciple from another continent challenging his position and prestige.

As the one at the forefront of this batch of outer mountain disciples, he needed to win, because this would also decide his future prospects and position in the Cangxuan Sect.

Therefore, he must destroy Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan could sense the intense iciness in Lu Feng’s eyes, however, it did not bother him at all as he softly chuckled and said, “I’ll send these words right back at you. I hope that you won’t lose too miserably, or it will really be boring.”

“You think you are worthy?” Lu Feng was expressionless, contempt appearing from the corners of his mouth.

Zhou Yuan ignored him, lifting his head instead, as he smiled at the Gu Hongyi. He knew that she was likely the one who had brought Chen Yuan over, and probably knew that Lu Feng was going to make things difficult today.

As for Chen Yuan, he merely showed the minimum courtesy of cupping his hands together with a cold expression.

Chen Yuan had always been the one to oversee the Genesis Mountain training sessions, and yet, he had found some excuse to be absent today. This was obviously intentional, and he had likely known in advance that Qin Zhen and gang would be stirring up trouble today.

Hence, Zhou Yuan guessed that Chen Yuan had purposely created an opportunity for Qin Zhen and gang to do so.

In view of this, Zhou Yuan naturally was not going to happily thank Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan was likewise able to see Zhou Yuan’s half-heartedness, causing the former to snort inside. However, he did not get angry. Elder Zong Ming’s sudden appearance to help Zhou Yuan previously had clearly made Chen Yuan wary. He no longer dared to so casually cause trouble for Zhou Yuan.

“Let’s go.”

Said Zhou Yuan to Song Wanxi, Zhao Kun, Qiao Xiu and the rest, before he turned and walked towards the foot of the mountain.

A sliver of respect flowed out in the eyes of Song Wanxi, Zhao Kun and the other first class disciples as they gazed upon Zhou Yuan’s back. His almost effortless suppression of Qin Zhen and direct confrontation of Lu Feng had completely won over these usually head strong disciples.

Lu Feng’s suppression was the reason why they had previously feared competing with the Shengzhou disciples, but now, Zhou Yuan had appeared on their side.

As such, they no longer feared Lu Feng as much as before.

With such thoughts in mind, they exchanged a look, began to follow one after another, creating a crowd behind Zhou Yuan.

With them taking the lead, more and more non Shengzhou disciples began to flood over, forming a black mass that surged down the mountain.

The sight of this caused the expressions of numerous Shengzhou disciples to turn somewhat unnatural. For the first time, they felt that these country bumpkins were no longer easy targets.

The corners of Lu Feng’s lips involuntarily twitched at this sight, fury boiling within his eyes. In a certain manner of speaking, this was akin to stepping on their faces.

He never imagined that he would not only fail to destroy Zhou Yuan, but end up helping him instead, creating a central pillar that all these country bumpkins could now rally around...

Lu Feng took in a deep breath, his five fingers slowly clenching into a fist. The gaze that stared at Zhou Yuan’s back was filled with a chilling iciness.

“Go ahead and be happy for now. During the peak selection ceremony, I will personally stomp you into the ground!”

“I will teach you that the higher you climb, the harder the fall!”
