Chapter 714 Outsiders (2/2)

Wei Canglan and the others were equally enraged, but dared not say a word for fear of sparking the Divine Dwelling experts’ killing intent. After all, the gap between them was far too great.

Zhou Qing’s expression rapidly fluctuated. In the end, he drew a deep breath. There were still a handful of Divine Dwelling Medicines in the Great Zhou Empire that they could use to send away this pack of wolves.

However, just when Zhou Qing opened his mouth to speak, a chuckle suddenly rang out.

“I was wondering what kind of thugs had come. It turns out to be members of the Heavenly Cloud Pavilion.”

Zhou Qing, Wei Canglan and others turned around in surprise and found Zhou Yuan standing atop another building

“Yuan’er...” A worried frown crossed Zhou Qing’s face, clearly not wanting Zhou Yuan to appear. After all, he wasn’t aware of Zhou Yuan’s status in the Cangxuan Sect, and there were many Divine Dwelling stage practitioners on the other side. It would not be good if they were angered.

In the sky, Gu Zong and the others were taken aback for a moment before their gazes locked onto Zhou Yuan one by one. They never expected that someone from a pathetic little empire would dare to speak out against them.

“Oh, you’re also a Divine Dwelling practitioner?”

Gu Zong studied Zhou Yuan in surprise before he smiled, “Boy, you’re quite talented to have reached the Divine Dwelling stage at your age. Don’t make a mistake because of a few Divine Dwelling Medicines.”

Zhou Yuan smiled, “In the Shengzhou Continent, the Heavenly Cloud Pavilion is not as arrogant as you guys.”

Gu Zong’s expression froze. He stared at Zhou Yuan and asked, “Who are you?”

Only now did he realize that the young man before him was not a local Divine Dwelling expert. There were a handful of Divine Dwelling experts in the empires they had passed along the way, but in the face of their line-up and the Heavenly Cloud Pavilion behind them, those Divine Dwelling experts all trembled and dared not speak.

Zhou Yuan swept a glance over them, stating calmly, “The leader of the Cangxuan Sect Chosen, Zhou Yuan.”

The mocking expressions on the Divine Dwelling experts froze at this statement before they exclaimed, “The leader of the Cangxuan Sect Chosen, Zhou Yuan?!”

“Could it be that same Zhou Yuan who caused a commotion previously?”

The Divine Dwelling experts looked at each other in dismay. They didn’t expect the leader Chosen of the Cangxuan Sect to appear in a tiny little empire.

Gu Zong was also taken by surprise. He had heard of Zhou Yuan before. The battle between the Cangxuan Sect and the Sacred Palace had made Zhou Yuan become the focus of attention of all the Shengzhou Continent factions.

But this was about all that Gu Zong knew. He didn’t know about the specific origin of Zhou Yuan.

High up in the sky, the originally arrogant and overbearing Divine Dwelling experts suddenly restrained themselves. They would naturally be unafraid if Zhou Yuan was an ordinary Divine Dwelling expert, but he had another identity; the leader Chosen of the Cangxuan Sect.

Behind him stood the Cangxuan Sect, one of the overlord sects which the Heavenly Cloud Pavilion could not compare to at all.

Zhou Qing heaved a sigh of relief at this scene. He was surprised to find out that Zhou Yuan had a reputation in the Shengzhou Continent and could even deter so many experts of the Divine Dwelling stage.

While the atmosphere turned tense, Gu Zong’s eyes flashed as he let out a small sigh. Who would have expected that they would encounter such a thorny obstacle in this tiny and insignificant continent.

However, although Gu Zong was somewhat wary of Zhou Yuan's identity, he didn’t fear him too much because the Heavenly Cloud Pavilion’s stance leaned more towards the Sacred Palace. Moreover, he was an experienced Divine Dwelling stage expert, who had reached the intermediate Divine Dwelling stage, while Zhou Yuan had recently reached the Divine Dwelling stage and was naturally someone he should not be afraid of.

As such, he put on a fake smile and said, “So you’re a distinguished disciple of the Cangxuan Sect, it’s just a misunderstanding. We will take our leave.”

However, a cruel thought flashed in his mind; he would have to go on a killing frenzy at the Great Zhou Empire’s border before he left to vent his frustration.

Zhou Qing, Wei Canglan and others heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing that the pack of wolves was about to leave.
