Chapter 960 Seventy Million (2/2)

Yuan Kun looked a little embarrassed, but then he retorted, “Since you know you can't get them yourself, why did you drive me away before?”

Jiu Gong was taken aback for a moment. She snorted, “I only found the Fallen Shadow after I got rid of you. Also, I knew you wouldn’t give up so easily and would come back. There is also a high possibility that you would find someone to help.”

Yuan Kun exclaimed, “So you were waiting for me to come back with a helper!? Then why were you so arrogant?!”

Feeling tricked, he gave her an exasperated look.

Jiu Gong said indifferently, “If you had brought back the leader of one of the other regions, I wouldn’t have had to set up a formation to test you. But you had brought Zhou Yuan, so of course I needed to test his strength.”

Zhou Yuan ignored the quarrel between the two and continued to study the ice-encased Fallen Shadow. “Even if we join forces, I don’t think we can get rid of it.”

Even if they used an amplification art to increase their foundations, their Genesis Qi would at most be between 50 million and 60 million. But three people with 60 million Genesis Qi in total still couldn’t compare to someone with a foundation of 70 million!

Yuan Kun nodded, “A foundation of 70 million Genesis Qi stars—only Zhao Mushen, Wu Yao and Su Youwei have this ability.”

“Wang Xi should be able to reach such a level too,” Jiu Gong added.

Zhou Yuan's eyes flashed. Zhao Mushen’s Genesis Qi foundation has exceeded 70 million! He is indeed a powerful enemy!

He scanned the surroundings and turned to Jiu Gong, saying, “There are remains of Genesis Runes, is that your doing?”

Jiu Gong cast him a surprised look. “Your Spirit is really sensitive. That’s correct. I had left these Genesis Runes. I originally planned to set up a Genesis Rune Boundary.”

Zhou Yuan pondered for a moment before he said, “A boundary isn’t a bad plan, but it won’t be enough. Even if you move the Meridian Golden Light Boundary here, it will still be difficult to wound the Fallen Shadow.”

Jiu Gong shook her head. “The Meridian Golden Light Boundary requires a lot of nodes and people. It is a formation of a huge scale. But the cold and harsh conditions of this place make it difficult for anybody to get close besides the three of us.”

Zhou Yuan was silent. Without the Meridian Golden Light Boundary, ordinary boundaries would only pose a slight impediment.

He and Yuan Kun could at most slightly injure a Fallen Shadow of the Heavenly Sun stage, but such injuries were unlikely to lead to a victory. At that time, when the battle became intense, the slightest of carelessness could result in their elimination.

All three were silent for a good while, and the atmosphere turned somewhat depressing.

It was clear that they were extremely reluctant to leave. After all, it was incredibly difficult to find Alpha Spiritium, and there were ten strands here! How could they be willing to let the Fallen Shadow obstruct them?

During this silence, Zhou Yuan's eyes suddenly flashed. “But it isn’t impossible to deal with.”

Looks of astonishment crossed Yuan Kun’s and Jiu Gong’s faces.

“You have a plan?” Jiu Gong asked doubtfully. Ordinary methods would be ineffective in dealing with a Fallen Shadow with a foundation of at least 70 million Genesis Qi.

Zhou Yuan said calmly, “I have a treasure that possesses a sealing power, and if it hits its target, it can seal at least half of one’s Genesis Qi. But this treasure is one of my trump cards, and there is a limit to the number of times I can use it. So, if we end up with ten strands of Alpha Spiritium, I need to have at least half.”

The sealing treasure that Zhou Yuan spoke of was indeed the Five Spirits Universe Tower that he had seized from Lu Hai and the others. He could just about activate it after keeping it for a period of time, and of course, the number of restrictions he mentioned was a lie.

“Five?” Yuan Kun and Jiu Gong both scrunched their brows. In the face of a treasure like the Alpha Spiritium, even the top heaven prides of the nine regions would appear petty.

Yuan Kun and Jiu Gong were obviously reluctant to let Zhou Yuan take half the share.

But Zhou Yuan didn't say anything more. He just stared at the two people, appearing extremely firm.

He didn't deliberately take advantage of the situation. His sealing method could indeed play a crucial role, and his contribution would be the greatest.

Yuan Kun and Jiu Gong were both very intelligent and understood this very well. Therefore, they gritted their teeth and reluctantly agreed.
