Chapter 535 Cooperation of the Seven Peaks (2/2)
Rage flared in Kong Sheng’s eyes as he glared daggers at Zhou Yuan, but the latter did not shrink back, meeting the former’s gaze with equally intense iciness.
Li Qingchan was silent for a moment, before she looked towards Kong Sheng and said, “Senior brother Kong Sheng, the Genesis reservoir ceremony is not over yet. The lost Genesis essence can be hunted back, and our five peaks can give you guys a little compensation. Of course, that’s on the condition that you guys will give your full support in dealing with the ten thousand foot aquatic beast.”
Ye Ge also smiled slightly as he said, “Senior brother Kogn Sheng, this is already a show of good will from us. Moreover, this matter concerns all of the disciples, and if we are somehow all eliminated due to Sword Cometh peak, I’m afraid that all of the peaks’ resentment will be directed towards you guys. It will be no good to incur the wrath of the majority.”
Kong Sheng’s expression turned a little ugly. “Junior brother Ye Ge, are you threatening me?”
Ye Ge shook his head and chuckled. “I’m sure senior brother Kong Sheng understands the consequences.”
Kong Sheng fell silent, his heart filled with sullenness. He never imagined that the plan to annihilate Saint Genesis Peak would ultimately end in Sword Cometh Peak falling into such a miserable position instead.
He knew that Ye Ge was not wrong. If all seven peaks were wiped out due to Sword Cometh Peak, anyone could easily imagine how unwelcomed the Sword Cometh Peak disciples would be in the future.
Various thoughts churned in Kong Sheng’s mind. In the end, he took in a deep breath and suppressed the sullen feelings in his heart, while a voice escaped from the cracks between his teeth, “Release them!”
Zhou Yuan chuckled softly and nodded at Yaoyao.
With a gentle flick of her brush, numerous Genesis Runes descended and landed on the Heaven Disorientating Boundary. The boundary immediately began to shake, before slowly dissipating.
As it disappeared, the trapped disciples within it quickly rose into the sky.
However, not even a thousand Sword Cometh Peak disciples were left.
At the sight of such heavy losses, Kong Sheng and Zhao Zhu’s faces could not help but twitch for a moment. The other Chosens also secretly wet their lips, as they involuntarily cast another glance at Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao.
These two were truly ruthless. They had eliminated several thousand Sword Cometh Peak disciples...
Regardless, it seemed that they had finally managed to settle this issue for the time being.
Li Qingchan breathed a small sigh of relief as she said, “Though a ten thousand foot aquatic beast is formidable, we may be able to deal with it as long as we join forces.”
“Of course…” She paused for a moment, and suddenly looked towards Chu Qing. “I also hope that senior brother Chu Qing will give his hundred percent.”
Chu Qing was taken aback by these words, before his handsome yet eyebrow-less face turned solemn as he righteously said, “Junior sister Qingchan, I have to formally state that I’ve never slacked off before, and have given my all in every fight. If you slander me again, I will lodge a complaint against you with Lightning Prison Peak’s junior brother Lu Jingshen.”
However, the other Chosens merely smiled faintly in response to his impassioned rebuttal, their eyes clearly saying that ‘we’ll be fools to believe you’.
Only an elegant, exceptionally fair-skinned girl in blue bit her lips and said in a small voice, “I believe senior brother Chu Qing.”
She was the other Chosen of Cangxuan Peak, and was called Su Xiu.
Chu Qing gratefully looked towards Su Xiu and said, “Junior sister Su Xiu is an excellent judge of character, as expected of a member of our Cangxuan Peak.”
Su Xiu’s fair little face blushed slightly as she bashfully lowered her head, not daring to look at Chu Qing.
Li Qingchan cast a helpless glance at the former. How could she not see Su Xiu’s feelings towards Chu Qing. In the end, Li Qingchan could only shake her head, before turning towards the crowd. “Since it’s been decided, the various peaks shall gather their disciples, and we’ll meet again at another location to discuss our strategies on how to deal with that ten thousand foot aquatic beast.”
“We need to work together on this task. If not, we will soon share the fate of that generation of disciples from a hundred years ago.”
“If everyone does not intend to become teaching material for the subsequent batches of disciples, we’d better do our best.”
The Chosens could not help but shiver when they imagined this scene, before forcefully nodding their heads.
That ten thousand foot aquatic beast must die!
