Chapter 2285: The Lord of the Snowfall Peak’s Death

“I have to enter the Tower of Radiance no matter what,” Jian Chen secretly made up his mind .

The Snowfall Peak was not far from the Soaring Clouds Peak . They were only separated by three mountains .

On this day, three middle-aged men dressed in Radiant Saint Master attire arrived beyond the Snowfall Peak . They smiled as they hovered there . One of them said, “Zhou Yuan, your old friends have come to visit . Are you busy?”

The three middle-aged men were all lords of peaks in the Radiant Saint Hall . They all had seven-colored soulcores .

In the past, they did not need to announce their arrival when they came to visit the lord of the Snowfall Peak . They would directly set foot on the mountain .

But now, Zhou Yuan had become one of Donglin Yanxue’s nine retainers; it was extremely likely for him to enter the Tower of Radiance . His status differed greatly from before, so the three of them were unable to visit him as liberally as they used to .

The three peak lords waited there . However, before Zhou Yuan could answer them, the first disciple of the Snowfall Peak, Zhou Mu, had come to receive them .

Zhou Mu was a man who looked to be in his thirties . He had a calm and cool personality and possessed quite a bit of talent . He had only been cultivating for around two thousand years, yet he already possessed a four-colored soulcore . He had comprehended the Laws of the Hallowed when he had a three-colored soulcore . The lord of the Snowfall Peak took the most pride in this disciple .

“Zhou Mu greets the three peak lords . The three peak lords have come at a bad time . My teacher is not on the Snowfall Peak right now,” Zhou Mu clasped his fist politely .

“What? Zhou Yuan is not on the Snowfall Peak? Where did he go then?” The three peak lords were surprised .

Zhou Mu hesitated before replying, “In a few days, the competition between the Chosen Saints will begin . Teacher is preparing for that right now, so he has already left the Radiant Saint Hall to buy some saint artifacts that will increase his strength . ”

“If that’s the case, we won’t trouble you anymore . Let’s go . ”

The three peak lords became disappointed . They did not set foot on the Snowfall Peak, turning around and leaving instead .

A figure silently emerged from the dense mist after the three of them left . He seemed to be in his twenties, and his appearance was nothing special . He did not stand out at all .

He was Jian Chen, who had disguised himself as Chang Yang .

“The lord of the Snowfall Peak has actually left the Radiant Saint Hall…” Jian Chen stared at the Snowfall Peak from afar . He did not use the senses of his soul, only his regular, superior senses to listen in on the entire conversation between Zhou Mu and the three peak lords .

“Perfect,” a gleam of vicious light flickered through Jian Chen’s eyes . He hid in the clouds again and vanished as if he was never there in the first place . No one discovered his presence .

Afterwards, Jian Chen concealed his presence . He did not register his leave in the Foreign Affairs Hall . Instead, he avoided everyone and left the Radiant Saint Hall like a ghost .

With his current cultivation, even the Godkings stationed in the Foreign Affairs Hall would not be able to discover him at all if he really wanted to remain hidden . As a result, no one knew about his departure .

Jian Chen continued to cover up his tracks after leaving the Radiant Saint Hall . With a flash, he disappeared into a bush several hundred thousand kilometres away from the Radiant Saint Hall .

A while later, he reemerged . This time, he was dressed in black robes, and his appearance had undergone an overwhelming change . He disguised himself as an especially burly man who stood over two metres tall . He had quite the vicious face .

It was impossible for anyone to connect his current stature with the Radiant Saint Masters that had delicate bodies .

“Although the lord of the Snowfall Peak ventured out, no one knows where he is with how vast the Desolate Plane is . As a result, I can only wait for him in a place he must pass to return to the Radiant Saint Hall,” Jian Chen stared into the distance as his gaze became piercing . They shone with astonishing killing intent .

“I can’t let the lord of the Snowfall Peak return to the Radiant Saint Hal alive this time,” thought Jian Chen . Then he pushed off the ground with his feet as the Laws of Strength revolved around him . Like a loose arrow, he turned into a black streak of light and shot off into the distance with lightning speed . He instantly vanished into the horizon .

In the end, Jian Chen stopped when he was far enough from the Radiant Saint Hall . Afterwards, he found a place to hide and carefully concealed his presence . He waited for his prey silently .

Zhou Yuan had to pass this place to return to the Radiant Saint Hall . Regardless of where he went, he would definitely come here once he wanted to return to the Radiant Saint Hall .

Jian Chen’s wait lasted for three days .

Three days later, peak lord Zhou Yuan dressed in his white robes appeared in a teleportation formation within a bustling city that was closest to the Radiant Saint Hall . He walked out excitedly, and without any hesitation, he immediately took to the air and headed back to the Radiant Saint Hall .

“This trip was worth it . It was completely worth it . I didn’t come out for nothing . Although I’ve basically used up all my savings, I’ve managed to buy this . It’s all worth it . ”

“With this, my battle prowess will be no weaker than those Radiant Saint Masters with mid seven-colored soulcores . Although my cultivation is the lowest among the nine of us, my battle prowess is probably enough for me to rank in the top three as long as I use this…”

The peak lord was overjoyed . He had indeed benefited greatly from this trip . It was enough for him to stand out, make a name for himself, and become renowned during the competition between the candidates that everyone paid attention to .

To him, this was a great honour .

Moreover, this honour would only be the start to his wonderful future .

The peak lord left the city very soon . He flew in the sky using Radiant Saint Force . There were no teleportation formations he could use for the remainder of the journey, so he could only fly slowly .

However, when the peak lord flew over a barren mountain range, a black figure suddenly shot up and directly blocked his path .

“Sir, who are you? Why do you block my path?” The peak lord came to a halt as he frowned impatiently .

He was in a hurry to return to the Radiant Saint Hall right now to make his final preparations for the competition between the candidates . He was unwilling to waste any time when every second mattered .

“Zhou Yuan, you’ve forgotten about me so soon?”

The person who blocked Zhou Yuan was Jian Chen, who had disguised himself as a burly man . He stared at Zhou Yuan and sneered . At the same time, his gaze became piercing .

The peak lord was filled with doubt because he was certain that he did not know this black-robed man . However, when he felt the man’s piercing gaze, his heart actually lurched . His heart began to beat faster as he became rather afraid of making eye contact with this person .

“That gaze seems to be rather familiar,” thought the peak lord . Very soon, he shuddered violently and immediately stared at the man in disbelief . He felt emotional turmoil as he cried o
