Chapter 1036 Tower Competition (2/2)

Of course, he also knew that the two women had previously doubted his ability. However, he thought it was normal because no one would believe someone could possess a foundation of 700 million Genesis Qi stars at the initial Heavenly Sun stage.

Normally speaking, any initial Heavenly Sun expert who dared enter into the depths of the enemy’s camp was seeking death.

In truth, Qin Lian and the others were thinking of him.

Looking at Zhou Yuan's indifferent expression, Qin Lian thought he might be a little angry, so she bit her lip and said, “It’s my fault this time. We shouldn’t have questioned your ability.”

Mu Youlan hurriedly added, ”If you want to blame someone, blame me. I said all those things to elder sister Qin Lian.”

Zhou Yuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when he heard the two’s explanation. He awkwardly scratched his head, saying, “I really don’t blame you two. After all, you’re not master Cang Yuan, so how could you see my potential?”

Although Zhou Yuan’s words might be true, Qin Lian and Mu Youlan wanted to give him a beating.

“Just joking.” Zhou Yuan smiled.

Qin Lian's and Mu Youlan's expressions eased a little. They crouched down and asked curiously, ”How did you steal the Heavenly Fire Tree King? I heard there was a Nascent Source expert guarding the camp.”

Zhou Yuan briefly explained it to them, seeing that they were so interested. Of course, he had succeeded mainly due to the Heavenly Fire Tree King’s power.

But even so, the thrill and danger during the infiltration caused the two women to turn pale. Zhou Yuan’s behavior was undoubtedly the same as walking on the tip of a knife.

The three chatted leisurely, and their relations.h.i.+p unknowingly grew closer.

After a while, Zhou Yuan stretched his back and was just about to speak when his expression changed suddenly. Grand elder Mu Ni's voice fell in his ears, “Hurry and come to the main camp.”

Zhou Yuan sprang up immediately. He waved to Qin Lian and Mu Youlan, then hurried to the main camp.

When Zhou Yuan arrived, there was no one else inside except for Mu Ni, and her expression was a little solemn.

“What’s the matter?” Zhou Yuan’s heart pounded when he saw her expression, and he couldn't help but ask, ”The two mythical creatures haven’t been taken away, right?”

Mu Ni shook her head, “The situation isn’t that bad. Chi Jing and the others rushed to the two locations, but supreme sovereign Wan Zu also sent someone there and summoned a decree to capture the two mythical creatures. Chi Jing and the others were no match for it.”

Zhou Yuan’s expression changed abruptly.

She continued, ”But fortunately, Cang Yuan left behind some protection at the two locations, and it appeared at the critical moment to suppress supreme sovereign Wan Zu’s decree.”

Zhou Yuan patted his chest and shot an annoyed glance at Mu Ni, who was out of breath.

“Cang Yuan had left behind two iron towers. One is a Heavenly Sun Tower, and the other is a Nascent Source Tower. The two mythical creatures are each atop one of the towers.

“Only Heavenly Sun experts and Nascent Source experts can enter the Heavenly Sun Tower and the Nascent Source Tower, respectively. There are five levels in each tower, and both sides will send one person to compete on each level. The first to occupy three levels can climb to the top to take the mythical creature.”

Mu Ni stared at Zhou Yuan and continued, ”This is the means Cang Yuan left behind. As for whether it can protect them till the end, perhaps it will depend on the Tianyuan Region’s strength.”

Zhou Yuan nodded.

The appearance of the two iron towers had prevented a large-scale battle from happening and could reduce the number of casualties, but the battles within the towers would likely be b.l.o.o.d.y and brutal.

Both sides would surely send their strongest Heavenly Sun and Nascent Source experts, and the battles would undoubtedly be the focus of the world.
