Chapter 422 Want to Die? (1/2)

Heat rose from the vast red land. All of a sudden, rushing wind noises were heard as a number of figures flew over, ultimately stopping outside the battlefield.

These figures belonged to members of the other factions in the core region. As time passed, the various fights had reached a result, and after hearing that the Sacred Palace and the Cangxuan Sect were facing off here, they had swarmed over like flies in hopes of catching an exciting battle between titans.

The junior sect master of the Flame Cauldron Sect, Su Duan and Zuoqiu Qingyu was also amongst this crowd.

As such, they were soon treated to the sight of Zhou Yuan stepping into the battlefield...

Zuoqiu Qingyu’s expression was the first to change, a look of worry flashing in her eyes. She never imagined Zhou Yuan would so foolishly charge in.

One must know that the Sacred Palace clearly had the absolute upper hand, and Yang Xuan was just too overwhelmingly powerful.

Even the Cangxuan Sect’s Bai Li and Qin Hai had been defeated. What could Zhou Yuan possibly change?

Yang Xuan was obviously far more powerful than the likes of Su Duan...

In contrast to Zuoqiu Qingyu’s worry, a look of joy arose in Su Duan’s eyes. He had been taught a lesson by Zhou Yuan earlier, making him too afraid to provoke the latter again. But if he could see someone else take care of Zhou Yuan, it would naturally relieve some of the pent up frustration in his heart.

“Humph, that ignorant and arrogant fool. Do you think Yang Xuan can be challenged by the likes of you?”

…

Far away, Li Qingchan also heard the voice from the communication jade. Her pupils immediately shrank as she said, “Zhou Yuan? What the hell are you doing here!”

There was a trace of fury in her voice. The situation was already extremely terrible, and blindly charging in like this was obviously very idiotic of Zhou Yuan.

After all, someone like him would only be a burden in a fight of this level.

Her figure paused in mid-air as she peered into the distance. Spirit light surged in her eyes, immediately allowing her to see the battlefield far away.

She immediately caught sight of Zhou Yuan who had just stepped into the battlefield.

Zhou Yuan voice was transmitted from the communication jade, “Senior sister Qingchan… I’m still a member of the Cangxuan Sect. Hiding outside at such a time won’t look good at all.”

Li Qingchan was a little stunned. Soon after, she let out a bitter laugh. Zhou Yuan’s intentions may be good, but reality was often cruel.

“Humph, your good intentions will only end up making things worse. If you’re not capable enough, don’t try and dabble in affairs beyond your level. Otherwise, it will only cause more harm than good.” Zhao Zhu’s voice suddenly sounded, clearly in disapproval of Zhou Yuan’s appearance.

From what he could see, Zhou Yuan’s foolish actions would only build up Yang Xuan’s reputation even more.

Just as Zhao Zhu was about to speak again, Li Qingchan suddenly stuck her hand out to stop him.

Li Qingchan slowly said, “Zhou Yuan, this is your decision, and you must know that there will be a price to pay. Yang Xuan is very ruthless, so you’d better be careful. If you are not his match, retreat as fast as you can.”

“Understood.” Answered Zhou Yuan with a smile, before the communication jade fell silence once more.

Zhao Zhu appeared beside Li Qingchan, looking towards her as he said in a low voice, “Zhou Yuan is too ignorant, and you should never have brought him along on this mission. If any other veteran disciple had taken his place, things might not have gotten so bad.”

Li Qingchan flatly said, “Even Bai Li and Qin Hai’s combined might lost to Yang Xuan. Do you think having an additional veteran disciple would make a difference?”

She paused for a moment, before casting her gaze into the distance to look at a certain young figure. “Zhou Yuan is not a rash person. The fact that he chose to appear here might mean that he has some kind of plan. What if a miracle happens?”

Although she knew that the odds of such a miracle was far too low, this was the only way left to console herself.

The corners of Zhao Zhu’s mouth turned downwards when he heard this, most likely feeling that Li Qingchan was being far too naive.

“A miracle? How? What that turtle shell of his?”

He shook his head, his voice full of mockery.

Li Qingchan did not respond. She shot a glance to the front where Wang Chi and Cao Jinzhu were still obstructing their way as her expression gradually turned to calmness.

However, there was a certain resolve within that calmness.

She had already decided that if the situation became even worse over there, no matter how steep of a price they would have to pay today, she will drag the other party to the grave even if she had to sacrifice herself.

This matter now infringed upon the reputation of the Cangxuan Sect, and she would protect it even if she had to pay with her life.

…

At the mouth of the volcano.

Elder Wu was also stunned for quite some time when he saw Zhou Yuan suddenly appear and insert himself into the battle. In the end, elder Wu could only secretly simmer inside. “This Zhou Yuan is really an ignorant idiot!”

Though elder Wu did admire Zhou Yuan just a tiny bit for how he had chosen to bravely step forward in this situation, he was ultimately far too weak. At the end of the day, he would only make Yang Xuan’s battle achievements appear even more glorious.
