Chapter 618 Sacred Palace’s Sudden Entry (1/2)

Amidst the mountain forests.

Countless gazes were somewhat shocked as they stared at the two figures that had suddenly appeared in the valley. No one had antic.i.p.ated that Jiang Taishen would possess the means to send two Sacred Palace Chosen through the boundary and into the valley.

“That’s Chi Lei and Chai Ying. Chai Ying is known as the youngest Chosen in the Sacred Palace.”

On the Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace side, Gong Wan’s eyes narrowed slightly as she gazed at the two figures that had appeared in the valley. She slowly said, “Told you not to underestimate Jiang Taishen. As the one who has stably retained his first ranker spot on the Chosen List for so many years, Jiang Taishen naturally has no lack of tricks up his sleeve.

“Although the boundary has indeed saved the Cangxuan Sect a lot of trouble, it has now become their shackle. Chu Qing and the others cannot free themselves to deal with the intruders, and Zhao Zhu alone will not be their match.

“If these two are allowed to enter the seven-color treasure location, the Cangxuan Sect disciples will likely suffer heavy losses. When that happens, they will have no choice but to yield to the Sacred Palace and hand over the seven-color treasure location.”

By the side, worry appeared on Zuoqiu Qingyu's and Luluo’s faces. Due to Zhou Yuan, they were naturally not very fond of the Sacred Palace and thus did not wish to see the Cangxuan Sect suffer.

The members of the other sects also s.h.i.+fted their gazes over to the valley entrance. They secretly sighed inside. Who could have expected Jiang Taishen to be so resourceful? The situation really did not bode well for the Cangxuan Sect now.

...

Meanwhile, the expressions of Chu Qing, Li Qingchan, Kong Sheng and the other Chosen changed. Their brows were tightly furrowed as they looked towards the two figures that had appeared at the entrance to the valley. Jiang Taishen's move had evidently caught them off-guard.

“Should we disperse the boundary and deal with the two of them as quickly as possible?” Kong Sheng’s low voice was transmitted to the other Chosen.

Li Qingchan immediately rejected the suggestion. “Dispersing the boundary will only lead to chaos, which the Sacred Palace will still be able to take advantage of to enter the seven-color treasure location.”

“Then what can we do? How can Zhao Zhu handle two Chosen alone?” said Kong Sheng with an expressionless face.

“Why so anxious…” Yaoyao’s bright eyes looked over, her expression remaining composed as she said, “Although two Chosen have managed to get past the boundary, Zhao Zhu is not the only person at the valley entrance.”

The other Chosen were slightly taken aback. They soon began to recall that there was a backup guardian...

Kong Sheng could not help but icily chuckle. “Could you be referring to Zhou Yuan?”

“Don’t joke around. Although Zhou Yuan has performed well in the Mythic Utopia so far, that is merely with regards to things on the level of the chief disciples. What we’re facing now is a struggle between Chosen, which I believe he still does not have the qualifications to partake in.

“Even if he tries to interfere, he will only be humiliating himself.”

The other Chosen were silent. Though Kong Sheng’s words were not pleasant to hear, they were indeed the truth. Zhou Yuan might be top cla.s.s amongst the chief disciples, but he would still be lacking if placed amongst the Chosen.

Chu Qing was silent for a moment before he said, “Since Zhou Yuan has already been appointed as a guardian, we should at least give him a chance. If we realize that he is no match for his opponents, we’ll have no choice but to take a step back and let the Sacred Palace have a bite of this seven-color treasure location.”

Kong Sheng was still somewhat unwilling, but he ultimately did not speak up again. Since things had already reached this stage, he knew that they had no choice but to compromise in order to minimize their losses.

But it was still too unreasonable to rely on Zhou Yuan.

At the entrance to the valley.

Two figures surrounded Zhao Zhu from the front and back, completely sealing off his escape routes.

Zhao Zhu was currently wearing a grave expression as robust Genesis Qi rose from his body. It was clear he felt tremendously threatened with two Sacred Palace Chosen pincering him from both sides.
