Chapter 744 Sheng Yuan Flees (2/2)

Hence, Sheng Yuan did not hesitate to self-destruct his body and decisively flee upon his defeat.

Sheng Yuan’s escape caused a great commotion in the area. The many experts from the various factions secretly wet their lips. No one had expected such an outcome to today’s crazy fight.

With palace master Sheng Yuan’s escape, the sacred palace experts unhesitatingly withdrew, not daring to linger any longer.

Lei Jun expressionlessly looked at sect master Qing Yang and the others before turning into a flash of lightning as he disappeared.

The Hongya Peak master icily snorted. He was just about to stop the former only to be stopped by sect master Qing Yang.

Sect master Qing Yang calmly said, “No need to rush things. There will be a time for us to settle things in the future.”

Lei Jun had betrayed the Cangxuan Sect, and he was even the biggest culprit behind patriarch Cang Xuan’s death. Although patriarch Cang Xuan had not personally resolved this problem, they would handle this matter on his behalf as his disciples.

In the wake of palace master Sheng Yuan and the Sacred Palace’s departure, the originally tense atmosphere slowly began to relax. Many gazes respectfully looked towards Cang Yuan in the sky.

His strength had astonished everyone.

As the many experts looked at him, they seemed to see the unstoppable patriarch Cang Xuan from back then...

However, Cang Yuan was extremely unfamiliar to the peak pract.i.tioners of Cangxuan Heaven. Hence, even sect master Qing Yang, the Heaven Sword Sovereign and the others did not dare to carelessly approach such an unknown individual.

High up in the sky, Cang Yuan icily snorted as he gazed in the direction palace master Sheng Yuan had disappeared, but he did not give chase. Instead, he turned around and arrived at Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao’s side.

Zhou Yuan worriedly said, “Master Cang Yuan, Sheng Yuan has escaped? If we leave him alive, he will become a threat in the future.”

Zhou Yuan had clearly heard every word Sheng Yuan had left behind when he fled.

Cang Yuan said, “To kill a Saint, even a false one, is not so simple. Furthermore...the sacred race has already discovered my location, and I cannot stay here for long.

“As for Sheng Yuan, he had to bear the sacred race’s power, had his body destroyed and had his cultivation level repeatedly beaten down. These are all extremely serious injuries that will ensure he will be incapable of causing any trouble for some time.”

Zhou Yuan helplessly nodded. He did desire to borrow Cang Yuan’s power to completely eliminate Sheng Yuan, but he had evidently oversimplified things.

Although Sheng Yuan was gravely injured, he was ultimately still a latent threat.

After all, he was the only Saint stage pract.i.tioner in Cangxuan Heaven, even if he was merely a false Saint...

Zhou Yuan was not really worried about himself, but he was concerned about Zhou Qing, Qin Yu and the Great Zhou Empire.

The grudge between him and the Sacred Palace could be compared to a sea of blood. Once the other side had a chance, they would surely take revenge.

While the two were conversing, the boundless aura from Yaoyao’s body gradually withdrew as her dazzling golden hair turned pitch-black again...

The heart-palpitating indifference in her eyes also slowly faded.

Zhou Yuan was overjoyed by this return to her former state. Although Yaoyao had been powerful, seeing her in that state had given rise to a faint feeling of unease within him.

Only now did he breathe a heavy sigh of relief.

Yaoyao looked at him and seemed to smile as she took a step forward. Her body suddenly jerked violently. Her fair face flushed red, and she vomited a b.l.o.o.d.y mist that seemed to glow with starlight.

Her slender body slowly began to fall forward, ultimately landing in Zhou Yuan’s arms.

The smile on Zhou Yuan’s face turned rigid bit by bit as the b.l.o.o.d.y mist sprayed onto his face. His heart seemed to fall into a bottomless abyss.

His entire body turned ice cold.
