Chapter 614 Seven-Color (2/2)
Ye Ge chuckled and said, “Hehe, though a seven-color treasure location is extremely rare, it is also far too attention-drawing. What’s more, it just so happens to be in a controversial area. The Sacred Palace won’t be the only ones who will find some excuse to contest for it; even the other four overlord sects will be secretly watching.”
“Do you mean for us to surrender this seven-color treasure location?” said Kong Sheng.
Ye Ge waved his hands from side to side and said, “That’s impossible. I only want to remind everyone that we’ll need to work as one in order to secure it.”
Kong Sheng’s expression relaxed slightly as he said, “I suggest we pour all our efforts into defending. The majority will engage the main forces of the enemy while a single Chosen shall be dispatched to guard the seven-color treasure location. The chief disciples will lead the rest of the disciples in to search for any Divine Establis.h.i.+ng Treasures and mythic tokens.
“Once we obtain the Divine Establis.h.i.+ng Treasures and mythic tokens, the Sacred Palace will have no choice but to retreat, or they will only be wasting their time.”
Li Qingchan nodded. “I agree.”
The other Chosen also nodded one after another. It was after all not easy to find a seven-color treasure location, and since one was right before their eyes, it would be impossible for them to give up on it.
They were not the only ones thinking so. Even Zhou Yuan secretly nodded in agreement.
Chu Qing sighed in a somewhat depressed manner. It seemed that a direct clash with the Sacred Palace was unavoidable this time.
“Then who shall be dispatched to defend the location?” Li Qingchan looked towards the other Chosen.
Everyone else would directly engage the Sacred Palace Chosen in battle while the guardian focused on defending the treasure location. The guardian would be the final line of defence against any Chosen from the other side who managed to somehow slip past.
Otherwise, if a Sacred Palace Chosen were to somehow get past the main force, the chief disciples and the other disciples would not be able to put up any resistance.
Kong Sheng was silent for a moment before he said, “Let Zhao Zhu go. The rest of us will pin down the Sacred Palace Chosen and give the others time to search for the Divine Establis.h.i.+ng Treasures and mythic tokens.”
No one objected to his proposal.
Zhao Zhu also nodded and said, “I will eliminate any intruder.”
After their discussion, the Chosen decided on this course of action.
By the side, Zhou Yuan blinked and suddenly said, “Will the guardian need any backup? The backup will be able to a.s.sist in case Chosen Zhao Zhu needs some support.”
Kong Sheng expressionlessly said, “We lack the manpower to send additional Chosen to guard the place.”
Zhou Yuan displayed a dazzling smile at this moment as he pointed to himself and said, “Although there are no extra Chosen, I feel that I am just barely qualified to a.s.sist.”
Zhao Zhu immediately sneered. “Zhou Yuan, this is a matter between Chosen. What right does a chief disciple like yourself have to foolishly try to partic.i.p.ate? Is it because you somehow managed to withstand a single blow from Jin Chanzi?
“Don’t think that we’re blind to your intentions. Aren’t you hoping to earn some contributions for yourself?”
Zhou Yuan chuckled but did not deny it. It was precisely as Zhao Zhu had said. There was absolutely no way he was going to give up on the greatest blessing.
Li Qingchan fell silent for a brief moment before she said, “Zhou Yuan, this is no small matter. If Chosen from the other side somehow manage to slip in and defeat Zhao Zhu, it would mean that our plan has failed. When that happens, we’ll have no option but to abandon the seven-color treasure location to prevent any more casualties.
“Hence, whether or not there is back up for the guardian will likely change nothing.”
Her words implied that if it really did reach that point, even if Zhou Yuan was the backup, it would be better for him to surrender. Forcibly trying to resist would only be akin to a mantis attempting to block a cart.
At the end of the day, Li Qingchan believed that although Zhou Yuan had grown much stronger, there was still a huge gap between him and the Chosen.
Upon hearing her words, Zhou Yuan smiled somewhat helplessly and said, “Can’t I try at least?”
Zhao Zhu coldly said, “One should take things one step at a time. A battle between Chosen is not something you can interfere in. If you wish to become the backup guardian, then at least two Chosen should give you their approval. Do you feel that anyone here will permit your unreasonable request?”
His gaze swept across the area, but his expression immediately turned rigid soon after.
Yaoyao had slowly raised her hand as her indifferent voice sounded, “I permit it.”
Next, Tuntun, who was still lying on Zhou Yuan’s head, cast a glance at Zhao Zhu and raised its paw.
