Chapter 422: 422
Heat rose from the vast red land . All of a sudden, rushing wind noises were heard as a number of figures flew over, ultimately stopping outside the battlefield .
These figures belonged to members of the other factions in the core region . As time passed, the various fights had reached a result, and after hearing that the Sacred Palace and the Cangxuan Sect were facing off here, they had swarmed over like flies in hopes of catching an exciting battle between titans .
The junior sect master of the Flame Cauldron Sect, Su Duan and Zuoqiu Qingyu was also amongst this crowd .
As such, they were soon treated to the sight of Zhou Yuan stepping into the battlefield . . .
Zuoqiu Qingyu’s expression was the first to change, a look of worry flashing in her eyes . She never imagined Zhou Yuan would so foolishly charge in .
One must know that the Sacred Palace clearly had the absolute upper hand, and Yang Xuan was just too overwhelmingly powerful .
Even the Cangxuan Sect’s Bai Li and Qin Hai had been defeated . What could Zhou Yuan possibly change?
Yang Xuan was obviously far more powerful than the likes of Su Duan . . .
In contrast to Zuoqiu Qingyu’s worry, a look of joy arose in Su Duan’s eyes . He had been taught a lesson by Zhou Yuan earlier, making him too afraid to provoke the latter again . But if he could see someone else take care of Zhou Yuan, it would naturally relieve some of the pent up frustration in his heart .
“Humph, that ignorant and arrogant fool . Do you think Yang Xuan can be challenged by the likes of you?”
…
Far away, Li Qingchan also heard the voice from the communication jade . Her pupils immediately shrank as she said, “Zhou Yuan? What the hell are you doing here!”
There was a trace of fury in her voice . The situation was already extremely terrible, and blindly charging in like this was obviously very idiotic of Zhou Yuan .
After all, someone like him would only be a burden in a fight of this level .
Her figure paused in mid-air as she peered into the distance . Spirit light surged in her eyes, immediately allowing her to see the battlefield far away .
She immediately caught sight of Zhou Yuan who had just stepped into the battlefield .
Zhou Yuan voice was transmitted from the communication jade, “Senior sister Qingchan… I’m still a member of the Cangxuan Sect . Hiding outside at such a time won’t look good at all . ”
Li Qingchan was a little stunned . Soon after, she let out a bitter laugh . Zhou Yuan’s intentions may be good, but reality was often cruel .
“Humph, your good intentions will only end up making things worse . If you’re not capable enough, don’t try and dabble in affairs beyond your level . Otherwise, it will only cause more harm than good . ” Zhao Zhu’s voice suddenly sounded, clearly in disapproval of Zhou Yuan’s appearance .
From what he could see, Zhou Yuan’s foolish actions would only build up Yang Xuan’s reputation even more .
Just as Zhao Zhu was about to speak again, Li Qingchan suddenly stuck her hand out to stop him .
Li Qingchan slowly said, “Zhou Yuan, this is your decision, and you must know that there will be a price to pay . Yang Xuan is very ruthless, so you’d better be careful . If you are not his match, retreat as fast as you can . ”
“Understood . ” Answered Zhou Yuan with a smile, before the communication jade fell silence once more .
Zhao Zhu appeared beside Li Qingchan, looking towards her as he said in a low voice, “Zhou Yuan is too ignorant, and you should never have brought him along on this mission . If any other veteran disciple had taken his place, things might not have gotten so bad . ”
Li Qingchan flatly said, “Even Bai Li and Qin Hai’s combined might lost to Yang Xuan . Do you think having an additional veteran disciple would make a difference?”
She paused for a moment, before casting her gaze into the distance to look at a certain young figure . “Zhou Yuan is not a rash person . The fact that he chose to appear here might mean that he has some kind of plan . What if a miracle happens?”
Although she knew that the odds of such a miracle was far too low, this was the only way left to console herself .
The corners of Zhao Zhu’s mouth turned downwards when he heard this, most likely feeling that Li Qingchan was being far too naive .
“A miracle? How? What that turtle shell of his?”
He shook his head, his voice full of mockery .
Li Qingchan did not respond . She shot a glance to the front where Wang Chi and Cao Jinzhu were still obstructing their way as her expression gradually turned to calmness .
However, there was a certain resolve within that calmness .
She had already decided that if the situation became even worse over there, no matter how steep of a price they would have to pay today, she will drag the other party to the grave even if she had to sacrifice herself .
This matter now infringed upon the reputation of the Cangxuan Sect, and she would protect it even if she had to pay with her life .
…
At the mouth of the volcano .
