Chapter 572 Helpers (1/2)

As the Sacred Palace team left, the various factions far away shook their heads in disappointment. They had originally been hoping for a fight to break out between the two overlord sects, because it would give them an opportunity to slip into the chaos and take advantage.

The Mythic Genesis essence on both sides was surely very plentiful after all.

Unfortunately for them, both parties had remained rational.

As such, since there were no longer any opportunities here, the various factions could only begin leaving one after another.

In the short span of a few minutes, the originally noisy mountain range had once again become silent.

After all the factions had left, the sounds of rushing wind was suddenly heard from behind. Jin Zhang and the others turned around, to find several dozen figures descending from the sky.

It was Gu Hongyi, Zhou Tai, Lu Yan and the rest, but all they saw when they arrived was the mess left behind after the battle.

“Chief disciple Jin Zhang, are you guys alright?” The first thing they did was look towards Jin Zhang and the other Cangxuan Sect disciples.

Gu Hongyi’s gaze swept across the area, as she somewhat puzzledly asked, “Zhou Yuan, where are the Sacred Palace disciples?”

Jin Zhang could not help but chuckle. “You guys are late. The Sacred Palace team has already been chased off by Zhou Yuan. One of the chief disciples on their side has been gravely injured, and it is uncertain if he will survive.”

Gu Hongyi and the others looked towards each other. It was already over?

“Chief disciple Zhou Yuan was too powerful.” Behind Jin Zhang, the saved Cangxuan Sect disciples looked towards Zhou Yuan, their eyes and voices filled with respect.

The scene of Zhou Yuan swiftly crushing Ning Mo earlier had left a very deep impression on them.

In fact, there was even some envy in their eyes when they looked towards Gu Hongyi and the others. After all, with such a powerful leader, the rate of collecting Mythic Genesis essence would undoubtedly rise tremendously.

With regards to these gazes, the Cangxuan Sect disciples from Zhou Yuan’s team felt quite honored.

Jin Zhang also cast his gaze towards Zhou Yuan and cupped his fists together, “Chief disciple Zhou Yuan, it’s mostly thanks to you this time.”

If not for Zhou Yuan’s timely arrival, it would certainly have been a disaster.

Zhou Yuan waved his hand and said, “It’s only right that we should help each other out.”

Inside the Mythic Utopia, the entire Cangxuan Sect was basically one entity, and the disciples were no longer divided by their peaks. If their strength were to fall, it would only become even more difficult when they eventually faced the Sacred Palace.

Hence, it was very unlikely for Zhou Yuan to sit by and watch as a team led by a chief disciple was wiped out by the Sacred Palace.

A complicated expression rose in Jin Zhang’s eyes. He had after all been one of the key figures in the boundary back then when the Spirit Rune Peak had tried to test Yaoyao, and definitely caused some trouble for the duo.

Hence, he was in truth quite touched that Zhou Yuan had immediately rushed over after receiving the urgent call of aid.

However, Jin Zhang soon composed himself and swept a quick glance at his team members. “Chief disciple Zhou Yuan, let’s withdraw from this area first. The Sacred Palace has already made this district a temporary base of sorts.”

His expression was rather grave. If Wang Yuan’s previous words had been true, there would be three Sacred Palace chief disciples in this district alone, a very powerful line-up indeed.

Though he was also quite puzzled as to why three Sacred Palace chief disciples would be gathered in one place.

Regardless, the forces Sacred Palace had in this area were far too powerful, and it would be very disadvantageous for the Cangxuan Sect group to continue staying here. What they should do now was to shift their target to another district, and search for Mythic Genesis essence there instead.

However, Jin Zhang was soon surprised, because Zhou Yuan had shaken his head in response. “I’m afraid that I have no intention of withdrawing from this district.”

He had rushed here with his team not only to save Jin Zhang and the others, but more importantly, because the six color treasure location was somewhere here.
