Chapter 932 Trap (1/2)

As they marched forward, the group kept particularly quiet as Zhou Yuan led them.

He could feel the heavy atmosphere around the team. Everyone was aware of the serious consequences if they lost, but there was nothing they could do. Many things had happened in the Tianyuan Region in the past few years, and their overall strength had been steadily weakening. The team of 2,000 people present was already the region’s elites of the Divine Dwelling stage.

The impact that Cang Yuan’s disappearance had on the Tianyuan Region was too great.

Or perhaps the weight of a Saint expert was too great.

The reason that the Tianyuan Region could stand in Hunyuan Heaven for so many years was most likely due to supreme sovereign Cang Yuan.

Now that supreme sovereign Cang Yuan had been missing for so many years, if it weren’t for the fact that his power and prestige remained, the Tianyuan Region would most likely be worse than it was now. It was difficult to defend a territory of this level with just a few Law Domain experts.

Zhou Yuan sped across the mountains and through the forest, the look in his eyes becoming increasingly resolute. No matter how difficult it was, he needed to achieve the best results in the nine regions tournament and obtain the Ancestral Dragon lantern!

It was his main purpose for coming to Hunyuan Heaven!

Chi!

The Genesis Qi at his feet surged, and his body soared into the sky; he was the first to leap up a mountain.

Then he narrowed his eyes.

Chi!

The thousands of figures behind him landed, all staring ahead with solemn expressions.

Flags were fluttering between the mountains, and black silhouettes formed a strong line of defense in front of them. They almost completely blocked their path leading to the distance.

On a sword-like mountain peak behind the defensive line, three figures stood with their arms crossed. They were staring ruminatively at Zhou Yuan and the others. Behind them was a huge red flag flapping in the wind like a ball of fire.

Genesis Qi faintly flashed above the red flag, and on the flag was the seal to enter Fallen Abyss. To get the seal, however, Zhou Yuan and the others needed to pass the trial.

“Haha, chief pavilion master Zhou Yuan, I am Lu Hai of the Scarlet Cloud Sword Sect. We’ve been waiting for you,” the scarlet-robed man roared in laughter, his voice sounding from the top of the mountain. He carried a sword on his back.

He didn’t conceal his Genesis Qi, and it shrouded him like a roaring sea of flame. Even from a distance, his powerful Genesis Qi foundation made Lu Xiao and the others inwardly shudder.

The man wasn’t any weaker than Chen Xuandong.

On the contrary, if Zhou Yuan hadn’t suddenly emerged in the Tianyuan Region, they would have had to rely on Lu Xiao alone. From this, it was obvious what a mess the Tianyuan Region was, both inside and outside. It was no wonder that the major forces dared to step on the Tianyuan Region’s face.

“Chief pavilion master Zhou Yuan, you won’t be able to pass through this path in the nine regions tournament. If you don’t want to create a big scene, I advise you to turn back. As for your eligibility to participate in the nine regions tournament, I will help you enjoy it.” Lu Hai’s laughter, filled with arrogance, sounded again.

His words infuriated the 2,000 people from theTianyuan Region, and they all stared at Lu Hai with flames spewing from their eyes.

Zhou Yuan’s expression remained unchanged. He paid no attention to Lu Hai’s obvious provocation. He only gave a glance at the forest around the mountains. The Genesis Qi fluctuations, which numbered in the thousands, signaled that the opponents were well prepared.

“Follow the plan I said earlier.” Zhou Yuan turned to remind Lu Xiao and the others.

“Do you really want to do this?” Lu Xiao asked again.

“You just have to stall the 4,000 Divine Dwelling experts. Leave the rest to me,” Zhou Yuan said.

Lu Xiao took a deep look at Zhou Yuan and said, “You are the chief pavilion master, and we listen to everything you say, but if we fail because of your decision, you will need to take responsibility.”

Zhou Yuan nodded with a smile.
