Chapter 625 Sacred Palace Retreats (1/2)

Dong!

The figure of Chai Ying fell from the sky, landing heavily on the ground.

Having his golden black pill shattered, Chai Ying evidently suffered unimaginable injuries. Now that the Genesis Qi inside his body had greatly weakened, he no longer had any more fighting power remaining.

Countless eyes had silently watched the figure plunge to the ground, and the whole world had fallen deathly silent.

All lines of sight then gathered on the calm figure still standing tall. This time, a flickering fear could be seen in their eyes.

Even the Chosen of the various sects quelled the arrogance they had held within themselves.

The Chosens of various sects had also heard about Zhou Yuan's accomplishments before, but they had attached no importance to them. In their views, it was nothing but a battle between chief disciples and had no significance to them.

Just as a lion or tiger wouldn’t care about the killing between wolves.

But at this very moment, they had no choice but to suppress their arrogance because they understood that the young wolf in their eyes also had the power to fight lions and tigers.

Zhou Yuan, a chief disciple of the Cangxuan Sect, was already comparable to a Chosen!

It was the first time they had encountered a chief disciple who could defeat a Chosen!

At this moment, the Chosen of the various sects began to truly pay attention to Zhou Yuan.

They knew that if they did not do so, then perhaps the next time they met, what happened to Chai Ying could also happen to them.

While Chai Ying plunged to the ground, the atmosphere on another battlefield at the valley’s mouth had also become a little awkward. It was the battle between Zhao Zhu and Chi Lei.

At this time, both Zhao Zhu or Chi Lei were standing stiffly while looking in Zhou Yuan's direction. Their eyes were wide with shock and disbelief.

Evidently, neither man could accept such an outcome.

Previously, when Zhou Yuan had recommended himself and had wanted to become a subst.i.tute defender, Zhao Zhu was the one who was most against it. In his view, Zhou Yuan purely wanted to take advantage of this chance to earn credit. How could Zhou Yuan, a chief disciple, be qualified to partic.i.p.ate in a battle between Chosen?

So when Chai Ying rushed over to Zhou Yuan, Zhao Zhu already decided that the outcome of that battle would not end well, but there was nothing he could do. After all, he also couldn’t free himself from his present battle.

However, he did not expect that while he was using all his strength to deal with Chi Lei, there would be a victory on the other side of the battlefield.

Moreover...the result was one that he had dared not imagine.

“How could he defeat Chai Ying?”

The same words fell at almost the same time from Zhao Zhu’s and Chi Lei’s mouths.

However, Zhao Zhu’s face was crossed with shock and disbelief, while Chi Lei’s flickered with fear.

The current situation was immediately out of his control.

He originally thought that Chai Ying would quickly get rid of Zhou Yuan and then join forces with him to deal with Zhao Zhu. At that time, the initiative of the situation would fall into the hands of his Sacred Palace, and the Cangxuan Sect would have no choice but to bow their heads.

But now there was a change in the situation. Not only did Chai Ying fail to get rid of Zhou Yuan, but he was defeated—their plan was destroyed completely.

Cold sweat beaded Chi Lei's forehead. He no longer dared to actively attack Zhao Zhu. Instead, he began to retreat, his eyes darting vigilantly between Zhou Yuan and Zhao Zhu.

In the distance, Zhou Yuan gradually calmed the boiling blood and qi inside his body and spat out a lump of blood. His body was still throbbing with pain; if he was an ordinary person, he most likely would have already lost the strength to fight.

Fortunately Zhou Yuan had cultivated the Taiyi Green Wood Mark, so there was a strong life force flowing all around his body, quickly repairing his injuries.

He lifted his head, locking his eyes on Chi Lei in the distance. In a flash, Zhou Yuan reappeared next to Zhao Zhu.
