Chapter 255 - Yang Di Appeared (1/2)

“If I don’t go, Great Zhou will be destroyed,” Zhou Xuanji looked at Xian Xianghua and said solemnly.

“Then let Great Zhou be destroyed. That’s not your business. Why are you pretending to be benevolent?” Xian Xianghua frowned and said.

The courtyard was silent. Everyone looked at them nervously and did not even dare to breathe loudly.

Zhou Xuanji stood up, and they looked at each other in the eyes. Neither backed down in their attitude.

“I’m not pretending to be benevolent. I promised them. If I’m not principled enough to keep my words and just live for the sake of staying alive, then I’ll be like rats and carrions. What’s the meaning of living, then?” He said softly with determination, but he did not move Xian Xianghua.

“But you will die. If you die, what meaning does a promise have?”

Xian Xianghua retorted.

Why is this brat so stubborn?

Zhou Xuanji asked back, “How do you know that I will surely die?”

“I’ve lived in the Northern Wilderness Region for twenty-eight years. If I always did things that I was not confident in, do you think I could stay alive until now?”

Now that he had already broken through to Spirit Refinement and had two Heavenly Soul legendary swords in hand, he was already very powerful!

Moreover, he still had time to grow in power!

He was someone who took promises seriously.

If Great Zhou was destroyed because of him, it might become a bane that haunts him in his cultivation.

Once a man breaks his principles, there would be no end to breaking his faith. It was not about once or twice. It was about none and countless times.

Xian Xianghua was moved by the expression in his eyes. She sighed and could only give up on her persuasion.

The others were convinced by Zhou Xuanji as well.

That was the Sword God Zhou they knew.

Fearless!

Never avoid provocations!

“I believe in our Revered Teacher,” Xiao Jinghong spoke. A tinge of fervency could be seen in his eyes.

He had already begun to look forward to seeing how Zhou Xuanji would defeat Huangquan Drake King.

The others spoke their mind as well and cheered Zhou Xuanji on.

Xian Xianghua was in a rage. She snorted coldly and stomped her feet, but she did not speak further.

However, Zhou Xuanji’s words really moved her heart.

“This brat really has the demeanor of the world’s top cultivator.”

Xian Xianghua thought to herself as she gazed at Zhou Xuanji.

Two hours later.

Zhou Xuanji gathered everyone together and told them about Huangquan Drake King.

He planned to head to Great Zhou alone while everyone else stayed put to wait for him.

With Ning Zifeng around, it was unlikely that anyone would be of threat to them.

The group did not object. Although Jiang Xue was worried, she knew she could not change Zhou Xuanji’s mind. She could only urge him to take care.

“After I leave, you should minimize excursions outside. Even if you go out, don’t tell others your names. Our enemy’s intelligence capability is much better than we could imagine,” Zhou Xuanji instructed. After that, he left on his sword and disappeared into the horizon instantly.

Looking at the direction of his departure, Xian Xianghua flicked her sleeves and snorted before heading back to her room to heal herself.

Huang Lianxin wrapped her arm around Jiang Xue’s, smiled, and said, “Don’t worry, we must believe in him. My prediction is that one year later, news about him defeating Huangquan Drake King will spread all over the Northern Wilderness Region.”

Looking back, there were so many battles that everyone thought Zhou Xuanji would surely lose, and yet he won them all.

So what if Huangquan Drake King was ranked fifth?

Jiang Xue sighed and said, “Of course I believe in him. I’m just worried that he will suffer. ”

…

Great Zhou.

The royal city that used to flourish and prosper had now turned into ruins. Smoke was still rising from across the royal city.

Inside the collapsed houses, people could be faintly seen. They hid inside and did not dare to come out like hateful spirits in despair.

On the remnant of the royal palace, a massive dragon sat. Its dozens-of-meters-wide body was covered with khaki scales, and its claws were even bigger than the palace. It extended its head into the clouds, and its two whiskers were like two bands that tied the heavens and the earth together.
