Chapter 639: 639
The Zuoqiu Qingyu trio were shocked to see how dispirited Zhou Yuan looked when he and Yaoyao walked out from the Spirit Subduing Mountain . It was a completely different appearance than the unstoppable ferocity he had displayed earlier .
“Were you poisoned by the poison gas inside?” asked Ning Zhan in surprise .
Zhou Yuan sneaked a glance at Yaoyao and saw her calm-as-a-lake expression . He immediately gave an awkward laugh and said, “Nope, taking on the two of them earlier probably took much more out of me than I had expected . ”
Zuoqiu Qingyu and the others did not doubt his answer . After all, killing two Sacred Palace Chosen would indeed be very exhausting .
“Yaoyao, I’m glad that you’re alright . ” Zuoqiu Qingyu walked forward and grabbed Yaoyao’s hands with a look of relief on her face .
Yaoyao also grasped Zuoqiu Qingyu's hands as a seemingly gentle smile appeared on her gorgeous face . She knew that Zuoqiu Qingyu and the others had come all the way here for her, and she was a little touched by their gesture .
After all, she clearly understood that the trio had taken a substantial risk to do so .
“Though the main mastermind is the Sacred Palace, the Heavenly Ghost Sect should likely have had a part in this as well, given their extremely close proximity . What’s more, the information that Yaoyao had been trapped was secretly transmitted to us from the Heavenly Ghost Sect side,” Li Chunjun said . His eyes, which were wrapped in a black cloth, were looking towards Zhou Yuan . “You should have already guessed who gave us this information . ”
Zhou Yuan nodded . The informant was most likely Zhen Xu . Due to the Heavenly Ghost Sect’s participation, it was impossible for him to openly reveal himself . His current position in the sect was after all not very high, and he therefore did not have a say in such matters .
Hence, giving them this information as a Heavenly Ghost Sect disciple was already his limit .
As such, Zhou Yuan was also grateful to Zhen Xu .
These companions that had left the Cangmang Continent together with him had not disappointed Zhou Yuan .
“The Sacred Palace only managed to find an opportunity to set up Yaoyao because of me,” said Zhou Yuan . He knew that Yaoyao had only appeared here because she was helping him search for Divine Establishing Treasures to repay his debt . It made him feel somewhat ashamed .
“You’d better pay more attention in the future . I won’t let you off if something happens to Yaoyao,” threatened Zuoqiu Qingyu as she waved her little fist at him .
Zhou Yuan forced a smile and nodded .
Roar!
While they were conversing, an earth-shaking roar suddenly sounded from far away, and then a ray of light streaked through the sky . It ultimately transformed into a mysterious and ferocious beast and arrived in the air above them in an aggressive and menacing manner .
The terrible creature was covered in golden scale armor, and Genesis Qi was surging under its feet . A mysterious black light flowed in its mouth . It was Tuntun .
Tuntun’s eyes were filled with violent murder, but it soon discovered Zhou Yuan, Yaoyao and the others on the hill, and happiness erupted from its eyes .
Swoosh!
Its giant body rapidly shrank as it descended .
It landed on Zhou Yuan’s head, barking at Yaoyao as its paws messily threaded all over his head .
Yaoyao could sense the worry in Tuntun’s bark . Moreover, there were obvious signs that it had gone through a tough battle . Tuntun had evidently clashed with the Sacred Palace Chosen after hearing about Yaoyao’s predicament and had ultimately managed to rush here after giving its opponents the slip .
She smiled faintly as she reached out and plucked Tuntun off Zhou Yuan’s head . She gently stroked its soft golden fur and said, “Don’t worry, everything is okay now . ”
Another four rays of light descended from the sky shortly after Tuntun’s arrival and landed on the hill . Kong Sheng was leading the group of four, and Zhao Zhu’s figure could be seen amongst them .
“Where are the Sacred Palace Chosen?” questioned Kong Sheng as he frowned and looked towards Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao . Although there were some disagreements between the Sword Cometh Peak and Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao, it was only limited to while they were inside the sect . Kong Sheng understood what was important in the Mythic Utopia, and so he had thus rushed over as soon as he could upon receiving Li Qingchan’s message .
“There should be two Chosen here, Lei Jun and Tie Mo . Neither is weak, and both are ranked in the middle amongst the Sacred Palace Chosen . ”
