Chapter 613 Mythic Token (1/2)
On a lush green peak deep in the Great Mythic Mountain Range.
When the numerous disciples of the Cangxuan Sect arrived, the originally peaceful mountain turned into a buzzing hub of activity. Several glowing figures appeared on the mountain top, revealing themselves to be the rest of the Chosen currently led by Kong Sheng and Li Qingchan.
The many disciples quickly greeted them.
Li Qingchan’s eyes swept across the group as she gave a faint nod of approval. “Not bad. It’s a little surprising that you guys managed to reach this place without suffering many losses.”
She clearly understood how difficult it was for the chief disciples to lead their teams here. At times, it was not impossible for even an entire team to be wiped out.
All seven chief disciples were present, and although they had suffered some losses, it was already an almost perfect result.
“Compared to the Sacred Palace, our losses are nearly negligible.” Chu Qing gestured towards Li Qingchan and the others as he said, “Two of the Sacred Palace chief disciples were killed by Zhou Yuan, and I even got to see him smash the arm of the second strongest chief disciple into pulp when I went to receive the group earlier.”
Upon hearing this, Li Qingchan and the rest of the Chosen cast astonished gazes at Zhou Yuan.
“Jin Chanzi, however, was as shameless as usual and had actually tried to catch Zhou Yuan off guard with a sneaky attack. Fortunately, Zhou Yuan had managed to walk out unscathed by using one of his trump cards.”
The expressions of Li Qingchan and the others changed upon hearing his words. They clearly understood Jin Chanzi’s strength, and he was someone that even Chosen like them were rather wary of. Despite this, Zhou Yuan had succeeded in surviving Jin Chanzi’s sneak attack?
“He can withstand a blow from Jin Chanzi?” a voice filled with doubt rang out. Zhou Yuan raised his head and found that it was the Sword Cometh Peak Chosen, Zhao Zhu, who had spoken. There was a skeptical look plastered across Zhao Zhu's face, and his eyes were filled with scrutiny as he looked at Zhou Yuan.
Zhao Zhu had always looked down on Zhou Yuan, as he himself was after all a high and mighty Chosen. Zhou Yuan’s battle accomplishments might be impressive to the other disciples, but they were honestly not even noteworthy in his eyes.
If not for the restrictions due to his status as a Chosen, he would have easily crushed Zhou Yuan. The two of them were not on the same level after all.
However, things were now different if Zhou Yuan had indeed managed to withstand a blow from Jin Chanzi. Zhao Zhu had fought Jin Chanzi some time ago, but he had ultimately been defeated.
As such, Zhao Zhu clearly understood Jin Chanzi’s strength. Even he was not his match, so how could a mere Zhou Yuan have possibly survived a single strike from Jin Chanzi?
Although the other Chosen did not speak up, their eyes were clearly filled with doubt.
“With so many personal witnesses present, I won’t be able to lie about it even if I wanted to.” Chu Qing smiled in a carefree manner.
The other disciples nodded their heads in agreement.
Li Qingchan and the rest of the Chosen were truly shocked. Zhao Zhu opened his mouth several times, but was unable to utter a single word.
“Roar!”
An earth-shaking roar suddenly thundered. Everyone soon saw a streak of light fly towards them and transform into a little beast as it descended from the sky.
The little creature immediately released a delightful noise when it saw Zhou Yuan, jumping straight into his head and messing up his hair.
Zhou Yuan’s face immediately turned black as he pulled it off. It was naturally Tuntun, whom he had not seen for a long time.
“Go away.” Zhou Yuan threw it away with distaste.
However, Tuntun pounced right back at him, its claws leaving several scratch marks on Zhou Yuan’s body. Fortunately, his flesh was now rather tough, and the bloody scratch marks swiftly recovered.
Somewhat complicated expressions rose in the eyes of Li Qingchan and the other Chosen at the sight of Tuntun play fighting Zhou Yuan. The Chosen from the various sects had fought several times already, and Tuntun had defeated quite a number of Chosen from the other sects. In fact, it now had quite the reputation.
Even Zhao Zhu no longer dared to provoke Tuntun, and thus he immediately chose to shut his mouth the moment it appeared. There was very little chance of him mocking or casting doubt on Zhou Yuan anymore.
Li Qingchan coughed softly and said, “Since all the disciples are here, go and settle down first while we discuss our subsequent plans.
“The seven chief disciples shall also take part.”
