”It's him?”

Within the space, when Cang Yun saw the smiling red-haired youth, an incredulous look appeared in his eyes. The person who had saved him was actually Zhou An!

”It's you!” In the distance, Zhou Jun's eyes flashed with an inconceivable light. This light had reached its peak when he saw Zhou An walking out from the area covered by the restriction scroll.

”No, impossible, how can you break the restriction scroll!” That is something that can trap even a sixth realm warrior, and you are only at the fourth realm … ” Zhou Jun's expression was one of near insanity. On this day, too many things had happened, much to his disbelief.

However, Zhou An faintly smiled in response. ”Do you know what your greatest weakness is?” To overestimate oneself and underestimate others. ”

Although Zhou An's words were a bit sarcastic, they were still the true portrayal of Zhou An. However, the doubt and unwillingness in Zhou An's heart did not diminish as he stared at Cang Yun and said with hatred, ”Then why did you save him, kill him, and obtain his inheritance? Wouldn't that be better for you?”

”I've already said that I'm here to see a show, so I'm not interested in that inheritance.” Zhou An shrugged his shoulders. His calm face did not seem to be faking it, and then he looked at Cang Yun with a hint of interest in his eyes, saying, ”I actually look forward to him, so I can't let him die from your cheating methods.”

Faced with Zhou An's strange gaze, Cang Yun couldn't help but frown. This person's actions were always filled with mystery, making them hard to fathom.

”The method of cheating?” Zhou Jun let out a sad laugh, his expression forlorn. ”Heh, I, Zhou Jun, have wasted my time preparing for this day. I thought that I would be absolutely safe, but the result was a complete failure.”

He had long since known that if he failed to snatch the inheritance, even if he could escape, the Zhou clan elders would not let him off. This was because the clan elders had long since formulated a plan for this inheritance, and he was not part of it.

Cang Yun shook his head. Deep down, he didn't think Zhou Jun was wrong. In this world where the strong preyed on the weak, victory and defeat were everything. It could only be said that the latter's luck was bad and he had become the loser.

”Tell me, who's supporting you behind your back?”

The next moment, Cang Yun took the fire pearl in his hand, and walked up to Zhou Jun, asking his question.

Cang Yun was no stranger to the bead that was filled with a tyrannical aura. It was called the 'Explosion Bead' and it was made by an extremely powerful expert who compressed and condensed his own Origin Energy. The user only needed to activate it and he would be able to unleash an extremely powerful attack.

Judging from the source energy fluctuations within the explosion pearl in Cang Yun's hand, it had at least reached the sixth layer of the Secret Treasure Trove and was clearly not something that Zhou Jun could create. Adding the restriction scroll from before, there was no doubt that someone had provided him with these methods.

”Heh, now that things have come to this, do you think I'll say it?” However, Zhou Jun only smiled sadly as he replied.

”Alright then.”

Cang Yun nodded his head before once again taking two steps forward. The cold glint in his eyes became increasingly intense. After sighing, he suddenly extended his palm and ruthlessly smashed it onto Zhou Jun's Dantian in front of his shocked eyes.

In the next moment, accompanied by a muffled shattering sound, Zhou Jun's already dispirited aura once again plummeted to the lowest point. His Origin Energy frantically flowed out, finally turning into that of a mortal.

”How vicious!” Zhou Jun clutched his chest, enduring the pain with great difficulty. Fear and hatred writhed in his eyes.
