Chapter 157: 157
The battle between both parties ended unexpectedly quick . Before any of the onlookers could react, Xiao Tianxuan and Gu Ling had already disappeared, leaving only an exasperated cry in the mountains .
The crowd gradually returned to their senses, involuntary swallowing their saliva when they gazed upon the mess of a battlefield once again .
No one had expected that the junior city lord of Saint Remains City would actually flee . . .
He had the strength of the peak advance Heaven Gate stage, and only a handful of people amongst the Cangmang Continent’s younger generation surpassed him . Yet, he had been beaten by Zhou Yuan, a recently ascended initial Heaven Gate practitioner .
Moreover… Xiao Tianxuan had lost even after bringing out his little Heaven Genesis technique .
Gaze after gaze seemed to gradually change when they looked towards Zhou Yuan again . There was now a little less scrutiny and a little more respect .
Silence blanketed the mountains . Everyone knew that Zhou Yuan’s name would resound in the Saint Remains Domain after today’s battle .
Zhou Yuan paid no attention to their gazes . He merely made a beckoning motion with his hand and the dark gold Genesis Qi returned, bringing with it a Universe bag .
Zhou Yuan caught the bag, gently swinging it from side to side .
"He's really good at running . " Zhou Yuan shook his head . He had still underestimated the tricks Xiao Tianxuan had up his sleeve . The latter was practically overflowing with treasures to preserve one's life and escape .
"Well, you won't be feeling too good either even if you escaped . "
Zhou Yuan softly chuckled . At the final moment, he had sent two bundles of Dragon's Resentment Poison into Xiao Tianxuan's and Gu Ling's bodies . The poison will teach them what it's like to beg for death .
Zhou Yuan had personally experienced it for over a dozen years after all .
"Time to see what else mr junior city lord has . " Dark gold Genesis Qi surged towards the Universe bag in Zhou Yuan's hand . A faint Genesis Rune appeared at the mouth of the bag, blocking the foreign power .
However, the resistance was not much of an obstruction to Zhou Yuan . After sending out a dozen waves of Genesis Qi, the Genesis Rune gradually dimmed, eventually shattering .
With a thought, Zhou Yuan's senses swept into the bag and took a good look at its contents .
The first items to appear was 8 gold crystal cards . These were Genesis crystal cards of the Heavenly Crystal Pavilion, and each gold one could be exchanged for a million Genesis crystals .
Eight gold Genesis crystal cards represented 8 million Genesis crystals .
" . . . what a wealthy little lord . " The sight of these 8 gold crystal cards made the corners of Zhou Yuan's mouth twitch a little . Zhou Qing had only passed him 500,000 Genesis crystals when the former left the Great Zhou Empire . In comparison, there were 8 million Genesis crystals in Xiao Tianxuan's Universe bag .
An absolutely enormous sum of money .
"But 8 million should be his entire fortune . " Zhou Yuan grinned . The loss of 8 million would definitely be akin to cutting one's flesh even for someone like Xiao Tianxuan .
"I should return Luluo her money when I meet her again . "
Zhou Yuan continued to inspect the contents of the Universe bag . There were many useful and valuable things inside, including several rare Genesis Resources . This spoke volumes about Xiao Tianxuan's wealth .
"Eh, a lightning rod stone?"
A deep black stone suddenly appeared in Zhou Yuan's hand . The mottled stone was full of holes and seemed to faintly give off a gleam akin to lightning . Pleasant surprise flashed in his eyes when he saw it .
To learn the little Heaven Genesis technique, Great Wind and Thunder, Zhou Yuan needed to draw wind and lightning into his body during a thunderstorm to create a certain mark . Only then would the completed Great Wind and Thunder technique possess the power of wind and lightning, granting it destructive power .
The lightning rod stone could help Zhou Yuan smoothen the process of drawing lightning into his body, increasing the speed of mastering the technique .
"What a pleasant surprise . " After going through the entire bag, Zhou Yuan felt rather regretful that there was no Scarlet Devil Wheel little Heaven Genesis technique inside . But it made sense, a little Heaven Genesis technique was a valuable treasure even to a powerful faction like Saint Remains City . Xiao Tianxuan could not possibly be allowed to easily take it with him .
