Chapter 941 Encounter (1/2)

The pressure from these two words made the three hundred Tianyuan Region members in the mountain turn deathly pale, and chills ran up their bodies.

A few even lost their composure and cried out in a trembling voice, “How can it be the Wanzu Region? How can it be Zhao Mushen?! That’s impossible!”

The team led by Zhao Mushen was definitely Wanzu Region’s strongest. More importantly, its leader was the strongest Divine Dwelling stage expert in Hunyuan Heaven, Zhao Mushen!

Everyone felt that they could put up a fight against the sub-teams from any of the other eight regions, but they couldn’t match the main teams, let alone the team led by Zhao Mushen!

Trying to fight would be akin to smashing a rock with an egg!

The eight advanced Divine Dwelling stage practitioners from the Wanzu Region stood in the air as they mockingly looked towards the three hundred trembling Tianyuan Region members. Despite being at a huge numbers disadvantage, their presence overwhelmed the three hundred.

Zhou Yuan’s eyes flickered in thought as his expression darkened slightly. He could smell a conspiracy.

He refused to believe that his luck was so bad that the first team he encountered would be Zhao Mushen’s...

Someone must have secretly done something to make our paths cross. But who could do such a thing?

Zhao Xiansun!

Iciness flashed in Zhou Yuan’s eyes. Only Zhao Xiansun, a Law Domain stage expert from the Wanzu Region, could have done it. It all made sense; Zhou Yuan had faintly felt malice from Zhao Xiansun when he was drawing lots earlier.

But how had he done it?

The seal!

Zhou Yuan touched the seal on his body. Everyone had been imprinted with a seal when they entered the Fallen Abyss, and the seals were created through the combined efforts of the nine regions’ Law Domain stage experts.

Zhao Xiansun must have done something to the seal without senior sister Chi Jing noticing! Everything makes sense now.

After Zhou Yuan figured it out, anger flared in his heart. Zhao Xiansun was truly shameless. To think that a mighty Law Domain stage expert would use such underhanded tactics!

As the host of the nine regions tournament, Zhao Xiansun should be the most impartial person, and yet he had still taken the opportunity to play such tricks. From this, one could see how despicable he was.

“Zhao Xiansun, huh. Don’t let me find a chance in the future, or I’ll make sure to pay you back for everything that happened today!” Zhou Yuan committed this debt to his heart.

So what if he was a Law Domain stage expert? Zhou Yuan did not fear even the palace master of the Sacred Palace in Cangxuan Heaven, a half Saint!

Zhou Yuan’s eyes flickered faintly before he turned his head. He said to Yi Qiushui, “We’re retreating. Withdraw towards the spatial crack we found.”

He had no intention of clashing with the other party for something as silly as trying to prove himself. He acknowledged that he was not Zhao Mushen’s match for now. Furthermore, both the team and their individual members were at a clear disadvantage.

Yi Qiushui decisively nodded and turned around to issue instructions.

Although the three hundred Tianyuan Region members were extremely unwilling, they understood the gravity of the situation and immediately prepared to withdraw.

Everyone knew that they were definitely no match for the most elite Wanzu Region team!

Stubbornly facing them would only result in heavy losses, and the entire team might even be wiped out!

The Wanzu Region squad leader’s expression darkened. “Chief pavilion master Zhou Yuan, did you not understand what I just said? Obediently wait here! Don’t invite trouble to yourselves!”

However, Zhou Yuan ignored him.

The squad leader’s expression grew increasingly stormy as he stared daggers at Zhou Yuan. “Chief pavilion master Zhou Yuan, are you really going to be so tactless?”

Zhou Yuan did not reply, but a sword orb appeared in his palm.

Bzz!

Torrential sword qi dashed into the sky, turning into eight deadly beams of sword light that mercilessly slashed at the eight individuals from the Wanzu Region.

The eight advanced Divine Dwelling stage experts roared in anger, and Genesis Qi exploded from their bodies without any reservation. Although they knew Zhou Yuan was strong, it was too arrogant of him to face all eight of them alone!

After all, all eight were quite famous even among the Divine Dwelling stage practitioners of the Wanzu Region.

Rumble!

The eight individuals acted in unison, unleashing a barrage of ferocious Genesis Qi attacks, but then their expression abruptly changed.
