Chapter 909 How (2/2)
“Zhou Yuan, do your best,” murmured Yi Qiushui in a soft voice.
All eight hundred prefectures of the Tianyuan Region were currently watching the match. If Zhou Yuan lost, he would likely have to relinquish his chief pavilion master position, even if everyone knew that Lu Xiao would probably fare much worse. Zhou Yuan had no other choice because someone needed to bear the consequences.
Of course, she also knew that if Zhou Yuan won, his fame and influence would reach their peak in the Tianyuan Region. At that time, no one would be able to shake his position. Even sect master Xuan Kun would not be able to touch him no matter how much of a thorn he was in the Heavenly Spirit Sect’s side.
It was undoubtedly a grand gamble.
...
“Grand elder Chi Jing, are you really so confident in him? To think that you even activated the Thousand Eye Projection Mirror. Are you not afraid that this will backfire and end up making him a laughing stock?” sect master Xuan Kun gazed at the glowing mirror in the sky. Genesis Runes flowed in the mirror like numerous eyes, creating an exceptionally bizarre sight.
He glanced at Chi Jing as he continued, “If Zhou Yuan loses, I believe grand elder Chi Jing is fully aware of what will follow.”
Chi Jing’s face remained composed as she replied, “If he wins?”
Sect master Xuan Kun was silent for a moment before he said, “If he wins, the Heavenly Spirit Sect disciples in the Fire Pavilion will obediently listen to his every command.”
Sect master Xuan Kun understood how influential Zhou Yuan would become if it reached that stage. With Chi Jing taking his side, sect master Xuan Kun would have no way to touch Zhou Yuan. Hence, sect master Xuan Kun felt that he might as well gracefully admit defeat if it happened.
“Then let’s wait and see.” Chi Jing had no intention of continuing the conversation, and she cast her gaze towards the slim figure above the giant crevice.
She might not trust her own judgment, but she believed in her master’s eyes.
...
Under countless watching gazes, strong winds blew towards Zhou Yuan, ruffling his clothes. His expression was akin to the water in an ancient well. The unshakable presence he emitted made several onlookers secretly nod in approval.
Although the chief pavilion master of the Tianyuan Region might be lacking strength, there was nothing to be said about his courage.
Gaze after gaze turned towards the Tri-Mountain Alliance, where Chen Xuandong walked forward and arrived in front of Zhou Yuan.
The two individuals faced each other in the sky above the deep crevice.
The tip of the spear in Chen Xuandong’s hand quivered as it gleamed under the light. He stared at Zhou Yuan in interest and said, “I originally believed that I’d have a satisfying battle today, but chief pavilion master Zhou Yuan has made me somewhat disappointed.”
Zhou Yuan replied, “I feel bad for failing to meet your expectations.”
Chen Xuandong shook his head and asked, “Are you really planning on playing with me?”
Zhou Yuan chuckled but did not respond to such a pointless question.
Chen Xuandong shrugged. Then, three Divine Dwelling halos appeared behind him, and boundless Genesis Qi dashed into the sky, shimmering in the air. The number of Genesis Qi stars had reached 30 million!
Countless gasps sounded around them.
A terrifying Genesis Qi pressure spread above the crevice. Chen Xuandong’s expression gradually turned ice-cold as he stared at Zhou Yuan with a toying look in his eyes.
