Chapter 1018 Trouble (1/2)

Zhou Yuan’s figure was hidden within a shadow. He looked through the foliage and saw a defensive line that stretched to the ends of his sight. Teams consisting of Heavenly Sun experts constantly patrolled the area. This place was very close to the Great Five Alliance Chiyun Prefecture headquarters.

He could even faintly sense several powerful and concealed presences deep inside.

They were likely enemy Nascent Source experts.

However, Zhou Yuan was not worried. He had the Celestial Shadow Art, a high-level concealment technique, and most importantly, the Heavenly Punishment Saint Rune. The five-foot Law Domain could fully hide his presence, and even Nascent Source experts would be hard-pressed to discover any traces of him.

The only problem would be if a Law Domain expert was present.

However, this was very unlikely because the enemy Law Domain experts were being closely watched by his senior sister Chi Jing and the others.

These various reasons were why he had dared to delve into enemy territory alone.

His aim was to confirm the truth of Cao Xiao’s words. Although Cao Xiao had revealed information regarding the Heavenly Fire Tree King to him, it might be a ruse to send Zhou Yuan to his death. However, Cao Xiao sorely underestimated Zhou Yuan if he believed it would work.

“Qin Lian and the others should attack soon…”

Zhou Yuan cast a glance behind him. He could see huge batches of teams from the alliance miserably fleeing in his direction. This had already gone on for an entire day, and it was evidently a result of the intense battle that had erupted at the front lines.

Qin Lian and the others had likely received the news. Regardless of its validity, they intended to launch an all-out attack to probe for more information. If the opportunity presented itself, they would naturally be more than happy to uproot the alliance’s entire headquarters in the Chiyun Prefecture.

“From how fast the enemy’s front lines are crumbling, it should not be long before the Tianyuan Region pushes to this location.”

A look of thought emerged in Zhou Yuan’s eyes. When that time came, an earth-shaking battle would be unavoidable.

It would be a battle that would likely decide the fate of the Chiyun Prefecture battlefront.

Zhou Yuan wet his lips. The war here had been going on for several months, and such a big event appeared just after his arrival. Who could say whether his luck was good or bad?

“I’ll wait for the army to reach this location…”

Zhou Yuan was not reckless enough to sneak in at such a time. He needed to wait for the army to draw away enough attention first. After all, he could not ignore the enemy Nascent Source experts even though he had some trump cards to protect himself.

The wait lasted for three days.

Over these three days, enemy teams from the front lines were continuously defeated and forced to withdraw. However, Zhou Yuan discovered that there was no hint of panic in the alliance headquarters even after they received so many of their defeated comrades. Instead, they were tightening security.

This made him sigh deeply. No wonder the Great Five Alliance Army could compete with the Tianyuan Region...they were not to be underestimated.

When he was sighing, Zhou Yuan’s expression suddenly changed, and he raised his head and peered into the distant sky. Space suddenly rippled before the piercing sound of rushing wind rang out. Countless streaks of light shot across the sky, charging toward this area with unstoppable momentum.

They numbered in the tens of thousands, while an even bigger Divine Dwelling army followed behind them.

As expected, Yi Yan, Qin Lian and the others had gathered all the forces in the Chiyun Prefecture in an attempt to destroy the Great Five Alliance Army’s roots.

The true battle was about to begin. The atmosphere had become so heavy that it was nearly impossible to breathe.

With the arrival of the great Tianyuan Region army, countless Genesis Runes emerged from the alliance headquarters and began to weave together in the air, creating a protective boundary. Within the boundary, one could see countless figures arriving to face the incoming force.

Yi Yan stood at the very front of the Tianyuan Region army. Behind him stood six figures giving off deep and powerful Genesis Qi undulations.

They were the other six Nascent Source experts assigned to the Chiyun Prefecture battlefront.

A little farther behind them were the numerous Heavenly Sun experts with Qin Lian at their head.
