Chapter 420 One-sided (2/2)

“In your dreams!”

However, he was answered with a furious surge of Genesis Qi from Bai Li and Qin Hai that rapidly cumulated into a powerful attack that blasted towards Yang Xuan like a storm.

“Reckless fools.”

Yang Xuan shook his head as a tremendous amount of Genesis Qi slowly rose from his hands.

“Since neither of you has any common sense, I’ll just have to break your legs and throw you out…”

…

At the entrance of the essence flame vein.

Atop a hill, elder Wu was watching the two floating Genesis Qi mirrors before him. One of them depicted the face off between the Li Qingchan duo and the Wang Chi duo.

In the other mirror was the scene of Yang Xuan easily suppressing Bai Li and Qin Hai.

From the looks of it, Bai Li and Qin Hai would not last much longer.

Elder Wu’s expression was extremely ugly. In accordance to his original evaluation the Sacred Palace disciples, he had tasked Li Qingchan and her team to take over at least six hundred miles of the richest vein.

However, he never imagined that the Sacred Palace would play such a dirty trick by sending a disciple who had sealed his strength. This had disrupted all of elder Wu’s plans.

From the looks of it, the Sacred Palace intended on taking all of the territories the Cangxuan Sect was currently occupying.

This was too much!

Rage churned in elder Wu’s eyes as he looked towards the nearby Sacred Palace elder. The latter merely responded with a disdainful smile.

Around the mouth of the volcano, the other factions began to break out into hushed whispers. They also had Genesis Qi mirrors, and were naturally able to view the situation in the essence flame vein.

From the gazes they continuously cast towards elder Wu, it was obvious that they too knew of the Cangxuan Sect’s current predicament.

This battle may appear to be a contest for the essence flame vein on the surface, but in reality, it was a clash between the two titans, the Sacred Palace and the Cangxuan Sect. From the looks of it, the Sacred Palace had taken the absolute upper hand.

If so, the Cangxuan Sect would end up being knocked down a peg by the Sacred Palace this time.

…

Thump! Thud!

The intense battle on the red land continued. Wave after wave of berserk Genesis Qi exploded, the aftershocks of the fight turning the entire area into a mess.

Huu!

Bai Li and Qin Hai tightly gritted their teeth, bitterly persisting as sweat dripped down their faces.

The Genesis Qi around them was already growing weaker and weaker.

Their gazes looked towards the front where a figure in white was slowly walking towards then. However, they did not cower but instead gritted their teeth again as their figures shot forth like lightning with an explosion of Genesis Qi.

Boom!

However, their figures were soon sent flying once again.

At the mouth of the volcano, the various factions softly sighed. These Cangxuan Sect disciples were tenacious, but unfortunately, tenacity was not enough to fill the gap between them and their opponent.

Elder Wu’s hands were tightly clenched, veins popping up on his arms. Murder surged in his eyes as he stared at the Sacred Palace elder.

…

Outside the core essence flame region.

Zhou Yuan was seated under a giant flag with his gaze slightly lowered. He made no noise, merely listening to Bai Li and Qin Hai’s voices from the communication jade grow weaker and weaker.

The situation was anything but encouraging.

There was clearly no longer any hope to be seen for Bai Li and the rest in the core region.

He lifted his face, his eyes narrowing slightly as he peered into the distance. His fingers gently tapped his knee as he fell into a long moment of silence. In the end, he raised his head to the sky and let out a deep breath.

“God damnit…”

“You guys are going to make me fail this mission…”

If all their territory was snatched away by the Sacred Palace, the mission would undoubtedly be evaluated as a failure. When that happened, it would no longer be possible to obtain a Heaven Credit.

He sighed. Though he did not really have any complaints with regards to elder Wu and the others neglecting him, for the sake of his Heaven Credit, he could no longer sit by and do nothing.

Thus, Zhou Yuan’s lips curled a little as he slowly stood up.

The individual that had been ‘exiled’ to the outer region and basically forgotten, was finally going to get involved.
