Chapter 2298: The Name of Qing Shan (1/2)

Although Donglin Yanxue was unable to sense the shockwaves of the battle in the distance due to her limited cultivation, she learned quite a lot from the cries of the protectors, and her expression changed as a result.

“Quick, send some more people over and finish the battle fast,” Donglin Yanxue called out.

Immediately, three protectors out of the seven remaining charged towards the vicious beast. The four left were responsible for Jian Chen and Donglin Yanxue’s safety.

The seven protectors were all Hallowed Saint Masters with mid seven-colored soulcores. Now that four of them were working together against a vicious beast that was only an early Godking, it was impossible for the beast to last long, regardless of how extraordinary the beast had become thanks to the assistance of the world.

Soon, the colossal beast emitted a chilling cry and had its head cut off by a blade of light condensed from the Laws of the Hallowed the four protectors wielded. It collapsed onto the ground with a weight of several dozen tonnes, causing the earth to tremble and dust to get kicked up.

“Quick, look for the Radiant Origin Pearl!” The moment the beast died, Jian Chen immediately called out to Donglin Yanxue.

Jian Chen had become stern as well. The Hallowed Saint Masters were unable to observe the battle in the distance, but he was able to see it clearly. Qing Shan’s strength was unimaginably great. As a Godking, he had actually managed to gain the upper hand against a Primordial realm expert like elder He Tian, completely suppressing the elder.

From a single glance, Jian Chen could tell that unless an accident happened, elder He Tian’s defeat was only a matter of time.

As a result, he became heavy-hearted. If elder He Tian was unable to stop Qing Shan, it would be impossible for the protectors to be Qing Shan’s opponent even if they worked together.

Donglin Yanxue did not hesitate at all after hearing Jian Chen call out. She immediately flew towards the nest of the vicious beast while surrounded in Radiant Saint Force.

Jian Chen and the eight protectors followed behind her closely.

As soon as they reached a kilometer away from the nest, a gleam of light shone through Donglin Yanxue’s eyes. She could already sense the existence of the Radiant Origin Pearl, so she immediately sped up.

A while later, the group entered the vicious beast’s nest. It was a huge cave, gloomy and damp. A thumb-sized Radiant Origin Pearl had been wedged in the rock at the top of the cave. It shone with a gentle light, providing some weak luminance to the gloomy cave.

A protector took action. He extended a finger, and a strand of power from the Laws of the Hallowed shot out from his fingertip. It struck the rock above and allowed the Radiant Origin Pearl to fall into his hand. Then he passed it to Donglin Yanxue.

Donglin Yanxue stowed away the Radiant Origin Pearl. Just when she wanted to check the surroundings, Jian Chen’s voice rang out, “We can’t stay here for long. We must leave immediately.”

Donglin Yanxue frowned when she heard that. She was the candidate. She was the only one in charge here. Since when did Chang Yang become the one giving out orders?

Donglin Yanxue looked at Jian Chen with impatience. Right when she wanted to say something, the expressions of the eight protectors beside her all changed.

“Oh no, they’re heading towards us…”

“Those are the shockwaves from Primordial realm experts. Once they’re too close to us, even we will be injured…”

“Not only will we be injured, but we won’t even be able to protect ourselves. No, we have to leave quick…”

“They’re moving far too quickly. Leave! If we don’t go, it’ll be too late, and we’ll end up suffering…”

…
