Chapter 639 Blessing Appears (1/2)

The Zuoqiu Qingyu trio were shocked to see how dispirited Zhou Yuan looked when he and Yaoyao walked out from the Spirit Subduing Mountain. It was a completely different appearance than the unstoppable ferocity he had displayed earlier.

“Were you poisoned by the poison gas inside?” asked Ning Zhan in surprise.

Zhou Yuan sneaked a glance at Yaoyao and saw her calm-as-a-lake expression. He immediately gave an awkward laugh and said, “Nope, taking on the two of them earlier probably took much more out of me than I had expected.”

Zuoqiu Qingyu and the others did not doubt his answer. After all, killing two Sacred Palace Chosen would indeed be very exhausting.

“Yaoyao, I’m glad that you’re alright.” Zuoqiu Qingyu walked forward and grabbed Yaoyao’s hands with a look of relief on her face.

Yaoyao also grasped Zuoqiu Qingyu's hands as a seemingly gentle smile appeared on her gorgeous face. She knew that Zuoqiu Qingyu and the others had come all the way here for her, and she was a little touched by their gesture.

After all, she clearly understood that the trio had taken a substantial risk to do so.

“Though the main mastermind is the Sacred Palace, the Heavenly Ghost Sect should likely have had a part in this as well, given their extremely close proximity. What’s more, the information that Yaoyao had been trapped was secretly transmitted to us from the Heavenly Ghost Sect side,” Li Chunjun said. His eyes, which were wrapped in a black cloth, were looking towards Zhou Yuan. “You should have already guessed who gave us this information.”

Zhou Yuan nodded. The informant was most likely Zhen Xu. Due to the Heavenly Ghost Sect’s participation, it was impossible for him to openly reveal himself. His current position in the sect was after all not very high, and he therefore did not have a say in such matters.

Hence, giving them this information as a Heavenly Ghost Sect disciple was already his limit.

As such, Zhou Yuan was also grateful to Zhen Xu.

These companions that had left the Cangmang Continent together with him had not disappointed Zhou Yuan.

“The Sacred Palace only managed to find an opportunity to set up Yaoyao because of me,” said Zhou Yuan. He knew that Yaoyao had only appeared here because she was helping him search for Divine Establishing Treasures to repay his debt. It made him feel somewhat ashamed.

“You’d better pay more attention in the future. I won’t let you off if something happens to Yaoyao,” threatened Zuoqiu Qingyu as she waved her little fist at him.

Zhou Yuan forced a smile and nodded.

Roar!

While they were conversing, an earth-shaking roar suddenly sounded from far away, and then a ray of light streaked through the sky. It ultimately transformed into a mysterious and ferocious beast and arrived in the air above them in an aggressive and menacing manner.

The terrible creature was covered in golden scale armor, and Genesis Qi was surging under its feet. A mysterious black light flowed in its mouth. It was Tuntun.

Tuntun’s eyes were filled with violent murder, but it soon discovered Zhou Yuan, Yaoyao and the others on the hill, and happiness erupted from its eyes.

Swoosh!

Its giant body rapidly shrank as it descended.

It landed on Zhou Yuan’s head, barking at Yaoyao as its paws messily threaded all over his head.

Yaoyao could sense the worry in Tuntun’s bark. Moreover, there were obvious signs that it had gone through a tough battle. Tuntun had evidently clashed with the Sacred Palace Chosen after hearing about Yaoyao’s predicament and had ultimately managed to rush here after giving its opponents the slip.

She smiled faintly as she reached out and plucked Tuntun off Zhou Yuan’s head. She gently stroked its soft golden fur and said, “Don’t worry, everything is okay now.”

Another four rays of light descended from the sky shortly after Tuntun’s arrival and landed on the hill. Kong Sheng was leading the group of four, and Zhao Zhu’s figure could be seen amongst them.

“Where are the Sacred Palace Chosen?” questioned Kong Sheng as he frowned and looked towards Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao. Although there were some disagreements between the Sword Cometh Peak and Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao, it was only limited to while they were inside the sect. Kong Sheng understood what was important in the Mythic Utopia, and so he had thus rushed over as soon as he could upon receiving Li Qingchan’s message.

“There should be two Chosen here, Lei Jun and Tie Mo. Neither is weak, and both are ranked in the middle amongst the Sacred Palace Chosen.”

Zhao Zhu shot a glance at Zhou Yuan and slowly said, “You are too reckless. I can’t believe you dared to come here alone without any support from the other Chosen. How would you explain yourself if things went wrong?”
