Chapter 715 Compensation (2/2)

“Retreat!” “

Gu Zong unhesitatingly roared and turned around to flee. It was only then that he understood why Zhou Yuan dared to be so impolite to them. It turned out that he had such a terrifying and mysterious Genesis beast.

The others dared not stay any longer when they saw the situation and fled.

However, their body had only just moved when an invisible force descended from the sky, like a mountain, and directly suppressed their body to the point that they froze.

Even Gu Zong was unable to move.

They looked up in horror to see a beautiful maiden in a blue dress, standing barefoot in the sky and staring at them indifferently.

And her body was emitting extremely frightening waves of spirit power.

Gu Zong felt a chill running down his back. The mysterious Genesis beast was already very difficult to deal with. He didn’t expect another powerful girl who possessed such terrifying spirit power to appear...

Swoos.h.!.+

Tuntun came roaring over, his claws streaked across the sky with earthshaking fiendish aura.

Gu Zong’s face was deathly pale as he cried in a shrill voice, “Chosen Zhou Yuan! We are willing to compensate you with Divine Dwelling Medicines!”

Chi!

The claws halted at a distance from Gu Zong, but a gust of powerful wind still blew over, tearing multiple wounds across Gu Zong’s face.

Zhou Yuan responded leisurely, “If you compensate now, then you have to give one hundred Divine Dwelling Medicines.”

Gu Zong almost spat out a mouthful of blood when he heard that. One hundred low grade Divine Dwelling Medicines were also extremely valuable to them. They only obtained sixty after extorting so many Empires, how could they compensate them with so many?

However, looking at Tuntun widening his mouth, he dared not object. He clenched his teeth and grumbled, “Fine!”

His voice faded, and so did the tremendous spirit power. Then they were forced to the ground in an extremely sorry state.

Zhou Qing, Wei Canglan and others were all struck dumb. They exchanged glances with one another, swallowing mouthfuls of saliva. It was evident that they didn’t think Zhou Yuan was so ferocious and could suppress twenty Divine Dwelling experts at once.

The officials of the Great Wu Empire, whose eyes were flas.h.i.+ng before, also froze with fear and dared not give birth to other thoughts. They now understood that, with Zhou Yuan, the Great Zhou Empire would be much more stable than the Great Wu Empire.

Under the watchful gaze of Yaoyao and Tuntun, Gu Zong and the others brought out and handed over a total of one hundred Divine Dwelling Medicines.

Gu Zong was filled with regret. He only broke the main hall to show his power, but who would have thought that this instead became an excuse for Zhou Yuan to launch an attack.

Zhou Yuan flicked his sleeve, and took out twenty Divine Dwelling Medicines. He threw it up into the air and shared it with Tuntun, who swallowed it contently into his stomach.

He stored the rest away, peered at Gu Zong and the others, and warned, “If you had accepted the offer earlier, it would have been half less than it is now.”

Gu Zong and others forced a smile and nodded, but cursed in their hearts. It was only a palace hall that was broken but they had to compensate them with one hundred Divine Dwelling Medicines. Given the price of Divine Dwelling Medicines, they could have bought one hundred cities with that amount.

“Chosen Zhou Yuan, can we leave now?” Gu Zong didn't want to stay here a minute longer.

Zhou Yuan smiled, “Not yet, there is a thing I want to ask.”

“I have been in the Cangmang Continent recently, and don’t know what happened outside. Why are there suddenly so many foreign experts coming to the Cangmang Continent?”

Gu Zong didn’t try to hide anything since it wasn’t any secret. “Actually, it's not only the Cangmang Continent, the other continents are also being explored by other people.”

“What's going on?” Zhou Yuan couldn't help exclaiming.

“It is said that Palace Master Sheng Yuan of the Sacred Palace pried into the secrets known only to heaven and found clues of the Cangxuan Saint Stamp.....This matter has spread, and all forces are frantically searching for it now.”

Zhou Yuan’s expression changed dramatically when he heard this, and his eyes filled with shock.

“The Cangxuan Saint Stamp?!”

His eyes flickered rapidly. He didn’t expect such a big thing to happen after he departed from the Shengzhou Continent.

Moreover, he knew very well that the three Saint Runes within him were from the Cangxuan Saint Stamp. If the Cangxuan Saint Stamp were to fall into the hands of Palace Master Sheng Yuan, then that would also mean he would be able to detect the existence of the Saint Runes.

When that happened, Sheng Yuan would definitely come for him. Moreover, not just Sheng Yuan...

As the saying goes, the possession of a jade ring would get someone into trouble.

The thought of being watched by so many terrifying existences, made Zhou Yuan feel a chill rus.h.i.+ng up from the soles of his feet straight to his head. It made him have gooseb.u.mps all over his body.
