Chapter 559 Team (2/2)

As such, she naturally managed to secure a spot to participate in the Mythic Utopia.

This was something that everyone knew, but when they saw how Gu Hongyi openly admitted it, none of them felt any resentment towards her, her frankness instead eliciting a chuckle from them inside.

Zhou Yuan calmed everyone, before he said, “We’ll wait a little longer to see if any other disciples landed in this area.”

The group of disciples nodded in acknowledgement, before seating themselves down nearby.

Gu Hongyi also sat down with her fellow sister disciples, her lips pursing a little as she looked towards Zhou Yuan. Compared to a year earlier, Zhou Yuan had clearly become even more reliable. After becoming a chief disciple, his presence also invoked more confidence than before.

His growth over the past year had undoubtedly surpassed everyone’s expectations.

“Hee hee, is love beginning to stir in your heart?” A little senior sister playfully poked Gu Hongyi’s slender waist.

“Hongyi, you’re our Cangxuan Peak’s steaming bun, and who knows how many guys have their eyes on you. If you’re stolen away by another peak, those guys will become so miserable.” Another female disciple teased with a cheeky grin.

Gu Hongyi blushed a little as she said, “What nonsense are you guys spouting!”

Another cool-headed female disciple earnestly said, “But Hongyi, chief disciple Zhou Yuan is really not bad. Though it’s been less than two years since he joined the sect, there is already no one who dared to doubt his talent and capability. Although there’s many outstanding individuals in our sect, they are indeed somewhat lacking when compared to chief disciple Zhou Yuan.

She was clearly trying to incite something.

Gu Hongyi rolled her eyes at these girls who clearly only wished for chaos. “Stop trying to steer me around. If you little hussies have fallen for him, go head and chase him for yourselves.”

These words drew another round of giggles from the group.

By this time, a whole incense stick had passed. In the end, about ten disciples hurriedly rushed over from all directions. What surprised Zhou Yuan was that Zhou Tai and Lu Yan just so happened to be amongst them.

“Junior brother Zhou Yuan!” The two were also elated and surprised upon seeing Zhou Yuan, evidently expecting themselves to be separated. He was after all the chief disciple of Saint Genesis Peak, and it would obviously be more comfortable for them to follow him.

Zhou Yuan grinned at the two of them, before looking towards the other disciples as he slowly said, “Senior sister Li Qingchan has already explained earlier that the teams will be led by the chief disciples. Since you guys have met up with me, I’ll be leading this team. Anyone who has any objections should raise them now.”

There were over seventy disciples here, consisting of members from all seven peaks, including Sword Cometh Peak.

Zhou Yuan was already used to Saint Genesis Peak being nit-picked by the other peaks, thus, he naturally had to first establish himself in order to properly lead the team.

However, he was slightly surprised, because not a single disciple raised any objections. Even the Sword Cometh Peak disciples had remained silent.

The disciples cupped their fists together and respectfully said, “We’ll follow chief disciple Zhou Yuan.”

Zhou Yuan was a little amazed by this response. He had after all gotten used to petty criticism from the other peaks, even towards a chief disciple like himself.

However, he had forgotten somewhat that the current Saint Genesis Peak was no longer the same entity it had been in the past, and he was not an untried new chief disciple either, as he had already proven his abilities in the Genesis reservoir ceremony.

Everyone knew that Zhou Yuan was top three among the seven great chief disciples, and possessed strength that more than qualified him to lead them. Hence, rather than objecting, they were instead quite happy that they had the fortune of meeting him here.

Since the process went smoothly, there was no need for Zhou Yuan to do anything else.

Zhou Yuan stood up and cast his gaze towards the southwest direction. “Since everyone is here, follow my lead as we head in that direction. There’s a three-color Mythic Genesis essence deposit there, which shall be our first target. If anyone tries to stop us…”

“We’ll let them experience the might of our Cangxuan Sect.”

“Let’s go!”

He took the lead as his figure shot forth.

Swoosh! Swish!

Behind him, several dozen disciples from the seven peaks closely followed.
