Chapter 370 Turning Ethereal To Hide (1/2)

Swoosh! Swoosh!

The instant Le Tian’s voice sounded, nine Sword Cometh Peak disciples split off from the group surrounding the valley, and dashed into its fog filled depths.

That valley was quite large, and its topography was rather complex. However, this was not a problem for the nine individuals, who quickly arranged themselves in a fan formation and began sweeping the area inch by inch.

Le Tian stood atop a tree, his arms crossed across his chest as he instructed, “The rest should prepare yourselves. We’ll move the moment we pinpoint Zhou Yuan’s location.”

There were nearly ten figures stationed outside the valley, their sharp gazes continuously scanning the interior of that misty valley.

Su Wan could only release a soft sigh as she watched. There were other Cangxuan Peak disciples beside her, but they had no ties to Zhou Yuan. They would probably be quite unwilling to aid Zhou Yuan, and incur the wrath of Le Tian and his crew.

When all was said and done, Su Wan lacked the power to command them.

This also made her rather puzzled by why the Sword Cometh Peak disciples were so obediently following Le Tian’s instructions. Normally speaking, this would only happen if either the chief disciple… or one of the two Chosens gave the order.

However, why would someone of that standing have beef with a gold sash disciples like Zhou Yuan?

Her eyes were furrowed in thought for a long time, but she could ultimately only shake her head her head in defeat, before she looked towards the valley in pity. It seems that she had no way to help this time. Zhou Yuan could only rely on himself to tide through this crisis.

Of course, Zhou Yuan was already in a checkmate in Su Wan’s eyes. After all, there was no way he could defeat all the elite gold sash disciples from Sword Cometh Peak by himself.

“Junior sister Hongyi, your senior sister is really quite powerless this time…”

“Zhou Yuan’s talent at drawing trouble is really something.”

Outside the mountain range, Gu Hongyi stared at the scene projected by the Genesis Qi mirror with gritted teeth and clenched fists. Meanwhile, the commotion was also picked up by practically all of the other watching disciples, causing them to break out into noise.

“Can’t believe that the Sword Cometh Peak disciples have actually trapped Zhou Yuan in a valley…”

“Furthermore, they’re even being led by Le Tian. Looks like Sword Cometh Peak is really going all out this time.”

“Zhou Yuan is truly unlucky. However, it's also quite a testament to his ability to have the entire Sword Cometh Peak banding together to hunt him down. Even if he fails this purple sash selection, he will definitely become famous in the Cangxuan Sect.”

“How could this happen! I placed a huge bet on him!”

“......”

While all kinds of opinions and discussions erupted, practically everyone in the area turned their gazes to this particular Genesis Qi mirror.

Atop the most majestic peak, sect master Qing Yang and the six other peak masters also noticed the commotion.

A quick scan immediately told them what had happened, as astonishment flashed across their eyes.

It was extremely rare for all the disciples from a single to band together for the sake of dealing with a single person during a purple sash selection.

“Haha, peak master Ling Jun, it seems like your Sword Cometh Peak disciples are quite experienced in bullying others with numbers.” Snow Lotus Peak master Lianyi’s gaze swept around as a sneer arose on her red lips.

The handsome Sword Cometh Peak master, Ling Jun, was dressed in white today. He cast his rippleless deep pool like eyes towards the depths of the mountain range, as surprise flashed within them.

It was evident that he did not expect his disciples to gang up on Zhou Yuan.

However, he was only a little surprised, and not angry at all.

Peak master Ling Jun chuckled softly, before he said in an unconcerned manner, “Peak master Lianyi, the purple selection selection does has its rules, and my disciples are not breaking any of them.”

“That disciple called Zhou Yuan has been riding high recently, and others will obviously become displeased. They’re youngsters after all.”

“However, after he has gone through this experience, I believe he will likely become a more composed individual in the future. Frankly speaking, this isn’t bad news for him.”

Peak master Ling Jun chuckled. He looked towards the Lighting Prision Peak master Lei Jun, as he smiled and said, “Of course, if my Sword Cometh Peak disciples break the rules, I will punish them personally.”

Even though he did not know why his disciples were targeting Zhou Yuan, it did not matter to him. After all, someone of his stature had no reason to concern himself with these matters.

In his opinion, his Sword Cometh Peak disciples were not in the wrong either. Their actions aligned to to motto of their Sword Cometh Peak to be straightforward and decisive like a sword. Once you’ve decided, you should go ahead without any reservations.

Lighting Prision Peak master Lei Jun was in charge of the rules and punishments in the Cangxuan Sect, and was a stern and serious individual. Silver colored his eyes, as if they contained a world of lighting within them, a rather frightening sight to behold.

He indifferently said, “Although the Sword Cometh Peak disciples’ actions have caused some tongues to wag, they did not break the rules.”
