Chapter 594 Secretly Returning (2/2)

Of course, there was also much uncertainty surrounding the spatial domain at the bottom of the lake, and he felt that there was no need for everyone to get involved.

While such thoughts swirled in Zhou Yuan’s head, Go Hongyi arrived to report that they were ready. With one last deep look at the clear waters, he turned around to leave.

The Cangxuan Sect disciples soon began to rise on their Genesis Qi, leaving this location.

After the departure of the Cangxuan Sect and Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace, the lingering factions immediately swarmed towards the lake, in hopes of finding a little leftovers for themselves.

However, after rummaging through the six color lake for nearly an entire day, they could only shake their heads in disappointment. In the end, they too began to leave one after another.

After a day had pa.s.sed, the lake that had once been the focus of the entire region turned peaceful and desolate once more.

...

Two days later, as night enveloped the land.

Zhou Yuan’s figure appeared in the destroyed mountain forest. His ethereal figure had concealed its Genesis Qi undulations, as he darted across the forest like a shadow.

He soon reached the region of the six color lake, stopping on elevated ground as he looked down from above.

The current six color lake had clearly sustained some damage, most likely the handiwork of the factions that had hoped to find some leftover spoils after Zhou Yuan and the Cangxuan Sect disciples had left.

However, this did not cause Zhou Yuan to panic. The small spatial domain at the bottom of the lake had been hidden far too well, and even he had nearly missed it, let alone other people.

A day earlier, he had settled Jin Zhang and the rest somewhere, and found an excuse to leave for the time being, before rus.h.i.+ng back to the lake at full speed.

“Time to do it.” He mumbled to himself as he prepared to descend.

However, his pupils suddenly shrank the instant his body moved, as his gaze shot towards the dense forest in the distance, where a black silhouette stealthily flew over and landed beside the lake.

“Someone else is here at such a late time?” Zhou Yuan frowned.

Just as Zhou Yuan was going to knock the silhouette unconscious, he saw it kneel down as a faint glow emerged from its hand. Genesis Qi poured into the water, causing small ripples to form.

“What is he doing?” The strange actions of the silhouette caused Zhou Yuan’s eyes to narrow slightly. Could this person also know of the secret at the bottom of the lake?

Zhou Yuan did not move, choosing to observe instead.

The silhouette stood up under his carefully watching eyes. At this moment Zhou Yuan suddenly saw the water begin to ripple, as a several dozen feet large shadow flitted past below the surface, before ultimately breaking out of the water.

With the faint moon light, Zhou Yuan finally identified the black shadow, as shock flashed in his eyes.

It was the Three-headed Spirit Ghost Python that he, Fan Yao, Tang Xiaoyan and the others had cooperated to kill.

The python had clearly been slain by him back then, and its lifeless body had rapidly decayed after landing in the water. How had it suddenly appeared again?!

Moreover, why was the silhouette able to control it?!

Zhou Yuan’s expression turned grave, a sliver of fear emerging in his eyes as he looked at the silhouette.

Hss!

While Zhou Yuan was staring at the silhouette, the Three-headed Spirit Ghost Python suddenly raised its head, emitting a piercing hiss as its eyes locked onto his location.

The Spirit Ghost Python had discovered Zhou Yuan!

“Who’s there?!”

The silhouette also realized that someone else was around, as a clearly modified voice sounded from under its black robes.

“Get rid of him little Ling!”
