Chapter 163 Chance Encounter (1/2)
Swis.h.!.+
Dark gold Genesis Qi shot across the horizon, eventually landing on a certain mountain top as Zhou Yuan's figure was revealed.
His expression was rather dark and stormy. During the day long journey he took to rush here, he had constantly tried to ask for information, but did not discover any news about Yaoyao.
The Saint Remains Domain was just too vast.
”Continuing to search like a headless fly is far too ineffective.” Zhou Yuan frowned. To obtain more information, he had to go where many were gathered.
”On the way here, the people in this area have been heading towards the southwest direction where a golden pond is said to have appeared. The pond is extremely mysterious and is rumored to be the materialization of a top tier blessing.” A look of thought was revealed on Zhou Yuan's face.
”There should be many geniuses there, making it a hub of information. If I head there, I should be able to obtain news regarding Yaoyao.”
Zhou Yuan's eyes flickered. Without any further hesitation, Genesis Qi surged as he once again transformed into a ray of dark gold light that dashed into the sky.
Half a day later.
A continuous mountain range appeared within Zhou Yuan's sights. Thick fog lingered in the sky above it all year round, making it impossible to clearly see the situation inside. Faint Genesis Qi undulations were also present within the mist, spreading an aura of danger.
However, if one was to peer past the endless fog, one would seem to see a mysterious golden light fading and appearing at its deepest depths…
On the fringe of the mountain range.
Countless figures were pouring in from all directions, creating a line-up that appeared rather magnificent.
Evidently, news of the golden pool had already spread.
Zhou Yuan's figure headed directly to the edge of the mountain range. He too did not dare to land in the fog, afraid that he might draw the attention of some unknown creature.
His figure landed in the forest. This was the outer region of the mountain range, and several figures could be seen flying towards the mountains. He too followed, occasionally stopping individuals to inquire about Yaoyao.
After some time, he managed to gather a bit more information. However, the majority only mentioned that they had caught glimpses of Wu Huang and his group chasing someone, but did not know the rough direction or location.
This caused Zhou Yuan's frown to grow deeper and deeper.
Zhou Yuan did not slow down, the surrounding mists growing thicker and thicker around him. He could hear numerous roars and howls echoing from far away, while faint but violent Genesis Qi ripples pulsed from time to time.
Zhou Yuan flew out of the forest as a plain emerge in front of him. However, his footsteps suddenly came to a stop, because a figure had appeared some distance to his front.
There were faint skeleton like pictures on the figure's clothes, while an extremely dark and icy aura emanated from him, causing a chill to fill the surrounding air.
Zhou Yuan frowned as he gazed at the figure, but he did not say anything and turned around to leave.
Pch!
However, just as he turned around, the figure lifted his hand and gray Qi suddenly shot out. The Qi released a piercing hiss, quick as lightning as it swept towards Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan sent a punch backwards as dark gold Genesis Qi surged, rippling the air as it scattered the cold gray Genesis Qi.
When the gray Genesis Qi was scattered, Zhou Yuan felt an icy Qi invade his body, slowing the flow of blood and causing his flesh to turn rigid wherever it pa.s.sed.
However, just as the gray Genesis Qi was about to take another step, blood-red Qi whizzed out, devouring it in a single gulp.
”Oh?”
The figure let out a faint cry of surprise.
Zhou Yuan's brows were tightly knitted together as he looked towards the figure and asked, ”Who are you?”
He did not seem to know this person, but since the latter had attacked at their first encounter, meaning he was clearly here for Zhou Yuan.
The figure slowly turned around, only to reveal the extremely pale face of a young man. It was as if all the blood had been drained from him, and his ash-colored eyes seemed to contain the hair-raising aura of death.
He coughed softly, before he slowly said, ”Yama Sect, Zhen Xu.”
”Zhen Xu (Very weak)?” Zhou Yuan was stunned. Soon after, he scanned the other party's pale complexion as he nodded his head and said, ”You are looking a little weak, you have to get more nourishment…”
The pale youth was expressionless as he stared at Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan shrugged. ”It's a joke. Does the honorable Little Yama King of the Yama Sect have nothing better to do than to come here and stop me? I believe there is no grudge between us.”
The youth called Zhen Xu flatly said, ”The Yama Sect owes Saint Remains City a debt of grat.i.tude.”
Only then did Zhou Yuan understand. It turns out that it was a helper enlisted by Xiao Tianxuan. What a capable fellow, to think that he would be able to employ even an apex level prided genius like the Little Yama King.
