Chapter 625 Sacred Palace Retreats (2/2)

Zhao Zhu’s face turned pasty, and he gave a cold sneer. If it were the past, he certainly would have snapped, but he understood that the present Zhou Yuan was no longer the same chief disciple from before.

The moment Zhou Yuan defeated Chai Ying, he was qualified to be a Chosen of the Cangxuan Sect.

So based on status and identity, Zhou Yuan was in no way inferior to him. He no longer had any right to look down on Zhou Yuan, whether it was in strength or identity.

Seeing that Zhou Yuan had arrived, Chi Lei’s face turned even more solemn. Genesis Qi surged frantically around his body, and he was on full alert.

But Zhou Yuan simply glanced at him and did not directly attack. Instead, he turned towards the direction of Chu Qing and the others because the situation was now extremely clear.

If the Sacred Palace didn’t want to leave both Chai Ying and Chi Lei to be buried here, then they should admit defeat.

Chu Qing gently nodded when Zhou Yuan cast a glance over, and he immediately turned to Jiang Taishen outside the boundary, sighing. “Jiang Taishen, what a shame. It seems that the two Chosen you have sent out have failed to complete your task.”

Jiang Taishen’s eyes drooped for an instant before he replied with an indifferent look on his face. “Chu Qing, aren’t you being too complacent?”

Chu Qing smiled and said lazily, “You can make your own choice on what to do next. If you still want to continue playing, then my Cangxuan Sect will accompany you.”

Given the present situation, the initiative had now fallen into the hands of the Cangxuan Sect. If the Sacred Palace wanted to continue to fight, they would have to fight to the death.

But various sects were gathered here, watching in the dark. The Sacred Palace most likely did not have the courage to fight to the bitter end.

This was also the reason why Jiang Taishen had sent Chai Ying and Chi Lei in, hoping to break them from the inside and thereby weaken the Cangxuan Sect. Unfortunately his plan had utterly failed.

If the Sacred Palace still intended to continue to drag on the battle, then the Sacred Palace would inevitably lose Chi Lei and Chai Ying, two of their Chosen.

In truth, Jiang Taishen was not particularly concerned with their lives. However, even if they died, it would not make the Sacred Palace's situation any better.

Jiang Taishen slightly closed his eyes, which slowly opened a moment later as a smile resurfaced on his face. “Chu Qing, this time our Sacred Palace admits defeat. The location of the seven-color treasure has no fate with my Sacred Palace.”

He was a decisive person. Knowing that it would be useless even if he were to drag this on, he might as well choose to give up.

The other Chosen of the Sacred Palace, although reluctant, dared not disobey Jiang Taishen’s order. They had no choice but to gradually withdraw their Genesis Qi. They similarly understood that their Sacred Palace was already at a disadvantage.

Seeing this, Chu Qing chuckled out loud. “In that case, retreat. After this matter is finished, my Cangxuan Sect will release your two Chosen.”

Jiang Taishen remained calm and composed and did not say much. Instead his eyes suddenly darted towards Zhou Yuan’s figure in the valley, and they narrowed. “Zhou Yuan, am I right? My Sacred Palace will remember today’s matter.”

His voice fell, and he directly turned away, treading across the Genesis Qi in the air without even taking a glance at the severely wounded Chi Lei and Chai Ying.

He was not worried that the Cangxuan Sect would kill them because, just as he did not want to fight to death with the Cangxuan Sect, they were also afraid of truly angering them.

Zhan Taiqing turned around and tried to catch up. Jin Chanzi’s golden eyes continued to stare at Zhou Yuan from afar with undisguised coldness.

“Zhou Yuan, I hope you can come out of the Mythic Utopia alive.” He smiled, his voice thick with killing intent.

Then he also turned away.

In just over ten seconds, all the people of the Sacred Palace had completely retreated.

Following the retreat of the Sacred Palace, the various forces and sects hidden in the mountains also began to have some regret. They understood that if even the Sacred Palace had to return in low spirits, nobody else could touch the seven-color treasure location.

As a result, the other forces also began to retreat.

However, before leaving, those eyes once again darted over to the young and slender figure in the valley. They knew that after today, Zhou Yuan's name would be known throughout the various sects.

Zhou Yuan, the Cangxuan Sect’s new Chosen.
