Chapter 584 Chaos (1/2)

All it had taken was a split second for the sudden display of violence by Fan Yao to seriously injure Zhao Ru and send her plummeting into the water. Outside the six color lake, with the exception of the Sacred Palace disciples, the Cangxuan Sect, Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace and the other factions were thoroughly shocked by this scene.

All of them had clearly not expected Fan Yao, who had just moments ago been trying to pull the Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace over to his side, to suddenly stab them in the back...

The shock only lasted for a moment, before rage began to burn in the eyes of the many Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace disciples. Their chilling gazes turned towards the Sacred Palace disciples in unison.

“Despicable Sacred Palace!”

“Kill them to avenge senior sister Zhao Ru!”

The Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace disciples were clearly enraged by Fan Yao’s actions. They immediately swarmed out, sending a bombardment of Genesis Qi towards the Sacred Palace group.

The Sacred Palace disciples did not panic, as they swiftly got into position to defend against the attacks.

“What do we do?” Zhou Tai, Lu Yan and the others were still a little dumbstruck as they watched. They had previously been guarding against the Sacred Palace and Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace teaming up against them, only for the two groups to suddenly begin fighting.

Gu Hongyi thought for a bit, before she said, “We’ll help the Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace to deal with the Sacred Palace.”

Since the equilibrium had already been broken by Fan Yao, they were naturally more than happy to side with the Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace. This would at the very least put them in an advantageous spot.

Zhou Tai, Lu Yan and the others immediately nodded in acknowledgement.

“Senior and junior sisters of the Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace, we’re coming to aid you!”

The Cangxuan Sect disciples dashed forward, boxing in the Sacred Palace disciples from another direction. Gu Hongyi had retained some level headedness, and thus did not direct the Cangxuan Sect disciples too close to the Hundred Flower Fairy Palace side. This would prevent them from being surrounded if the latter suddenly turned on them instead.

Although the chance of that happening was slim, it did not hurt to guard against every possibility.

Gu Hongyi had already experienced how humans were the greatest danger in the Mythic Utopia. The tamed conflicts in the sect were basically as pure and innocent as white lilies when compared to this place.

The flames of battle spread outside the six color lake as the three groups fought.

The other teams in the area quickly backed away upon seeing this, afraid they would be drawn into the conflict.

However, when the Sacred Palace side saw the Cangxuan Sect join the fight, one of the leaders suddenly looked towards the teams behind them and roared, “Anyone who stands with our Sacred Palace will get the Divine Establishing Treasures on the tree after this matter is resolved!”

This individual was rather quick-witted, and knew that they would surely be at a disadvantage with the Hundred Flowers Fairy Place and Cangxuan Sect joining hands. Hence, he attempted to lure the other factions into the battle. Although they would not play a decisive role, it would at least alleviate some of the pressure from the Sacred Palace.

His words immediately caused some of the teams to stir. The treasure tree in the lake was far too alluring after all.

However, due to what they had seen earlier from the Sacred Palace, some of the teams were still quite hesitant to take up his offer.

“I promise it in the name of our palace master!” The Sacred Palace leader fanned the flames even harder.

The other teams were finally no longer able to hold back this time. They quickly charged forward and began to enter the battlefield.

With the addition of these other factions, the area around the lake grew even more chaotic.

Although it was mayhem around the lake, the majority would cast their gazes towards the lake from time to time. They clearly understood that the true deciding factor was the battle between the chief disciples. The side that emerged the victor would greatly swing the momentum outside.

...

In contrast to the chaos outside, the atmosphere in the lake was eerily chilling and still.

Tang Xiaoyan’s chest heaved gently, the fury and frostiness interweaving in her eyes turning her beautiful goose egg shaped face rather dark and stormy. She was sweet and gentle by nature, and this was the first time since they met that Zhou Yuan had seen her so angry.

“Good, I’ve finally had a taste of the Sacred Palace methods today!” Tang Xiaoyan clenched her jaw as she sent Fan Yao a death stare.
