Chapter 281 Caretaker of the Mountain (1/2)

The Chosens Peak stood within the clouds, shining brilliantly as it drew respectful gazes from numerous disciples.

They knew that the ten disciples who had left their names on the Chosens Peak were definitely existences that stood at the pinnacle of this generation. In other words, they were akin to kings amongst the innumerable Cangxuan disciples that looked down at everyone from the peak.

Envy was present in the eyes of countless disciples, hoping that they would one day get to experience the same thing. What kind of scenery would greet their eyes if they could one day leave their names on the Chosens Peak?

However, their rationality allowed them to understand that reaching it would require a tremendous amount of effort and luck.

Currently, besides the top ten of the ceremony, every other disciple was the ordinary black sash disciples in the outer mountains. In front of them, stood the gold and purple sash disciples.

As for the ten great Chosens, only the most talented and outstanding purple sash disciples would be able to compete for such a title. In fact, some of the slightly weaker purple sash disciples may not even have the courage.

From this, one could see how great of a distance there was between them and the ten great Chosens, a gap akin to the mud on the ground and the clouds in the sky.

Recently promoted inner mountain disciples like them basically did not even have the qualifications to come into contact with the ten great Chosens, because they were on completely different levels...

While the numerous disciples sighed, the seven envoys suddenly took action. The Genesis Qi cloud immediately split into seven separate pieces...

“We will not bring you guys to the peaks you belong to, this is where you shall part ways for the time being.”

Upon hearing the seven envoys’ words, the disciples hurriedly began to say their goodbyes to their friends and companions. For a time, the atmosphere was exceptionally busy and warm.

Zhou Yuan looked around. Qiao Xiu, Zhao Kun, Song Wanxi and the rest had already split up, but there still one familiar figure following him.

It was the fatty Shen Wanjin.

Compared to the other six peaks, the disciples entering Saint Genesis Peak seemed pitifully few in number, merely amounting to a few hundred individuals. This was already after sect master Qing Yang had given some consideration for Saint Genesis Peak, and forcibly allocated some of the disciples to it. If not, even less disciples would have selected Saint Genesis Peak.

As for Shen Wanjin, he was one of the disciples that had been forcibly allocated.

However, compared to the bitter faces on the other disciples, Shen Wanjin was beaming happily, as if not the least bit disappointed.

Zhou Yuan could not help but smile as he asked, “Aren’t you disappointed?”

Shen Wanjin’s smile turned to one of flattery as he replied, “I have a feeling that if I follow little Yuan bro, even if Saint Genesis Peak collapses, you’ll still thrive well! Thus, I will follow you wherever you go!”

He then looked towards Yaoyao and said, “Moreover, isn’t there also boss sister Xiaoyao?”

Zhou Yuan could not hold back his laughter. This fellow was really planning on depending on him till the end.”

However, he did not say anything with regards to this. He felt Shen Wanjin was a pretty decent person, and they could watch each other’s backs since they were both going to Saint Genesis Peak.

“That’s right, little Yuan bro, junior sister Gu Hongyi asked me to pass you this letter.” Shen Wanjin suddenly fished out a rolled up parchment.

Zhou Yuan was stunned. He received it and opened it, revealing the graceful words written upon it.

“Be careful of Lu Hong.”

“Lu Hong?” Zhou Yuan frowned a little. He had found out three days ago that one of the three elders of Saint Genesis Peak was called Lu Hong.

But why had Gu Hongyi warned him about the former?

Zhou Yuan’s gaze flickered, and eventually pieced the puzzle together.

“Lu… could he be from the Lu clan of Lu Feng and Lu Xuanyin?”

He had indeed previously heard Lu Feng mention a senior member of the Lu clan was a high ranking elder of Sword Cometh Peak. But wasn’t this Saint Genesis Peak?

He raised his head and looked towards another Genesis Qi cloud in the distance where Gu Hongyi was located. The latter winked at him upon sensing his gaze.

Zhou Yuan gave a slight nod, indicating his thanks.
