Chapter 999 Summoning Order (1/2)

They had never thought that a youngster of the Divine Dwelling stage would be on an equal level with them.

So what kind of attitude should they face Zhou Yuan with?

A peer?

But how could they ignore Zhou Yuan's Divine Dwelling stage strength?

Sect master Xuan Kun could casually scold Zhou Yuan in the past, but what about now?

Therefore, facing such a situation, even three Law Domain experts felt extremely awkward. At the same time, they couldn't help but criticize supreme sovereign Cang Yuan’s decision back then...It was definitely too hasty.

While the three grand elders were conflicted and silent, Zhou Yuan said with a faint smile, “Grand elders, although my master has set the rules back then, I don't need the status of grand elder, so you don't have to announce there is a sixth grand elder to the Tianyuan Region.”

Yuan Kun’s and the others’ stiff faces visibly relaxed when they heard Zhou Yuan’s words. Evidently, their worries were alleviated.

“The reason why we want to announce this matter now is that the Tianyuan Region is about to face a huge war, and my appearance will reassure many people that supreme sovereign Cang Yuan hasn’t died. It’s just temporarily inconvenient for him to appear in Hunyuan Heaven.” Zhou Yuan slowly explained to the three, “This way, people with different intentions should be deterred, and they won’t dare to create trouble during this period of time.”

Xuan Kun and the others exchanged glances with one another and gently nodded in the end.

Clan leader Bai Ye smiled. “Zhou Yuan...little friend is right, this news can put the mind of many people at ease.”

Evidently, she was a little confused about how to address Zhou Yuan. After all, although Zhou Yuan was the chief pavilion master, she didn't attach much importance to him. But he was an official disciple of supreme sovereign Cang Yuan, which changed everything.

Strictly speaking, their status was equal.

If Zhou Yuan insisted on becoming the sixth grand elder, they didn't have much reason to stop him.

Sect master Xuan Kun cleared his throat and finally said with some difficulty, “It is no wonder that you’re so outstanding. It’s understandable that you could suppress the heaven prides of my Heavenly Spirit Sect. This is not shameful at all for them to lose.”

He had said it stiffly, but his attitude was evidently much better than before. He clearly wanted to protect his dignity. After all, even Law Domain experts had to accept harsh reality!

Everybody looked hopefully at Zhou Yuan. As long as supreme sovereign Cang Yuan returned, all problems would be solved.

Zhou Yuan muttered, “My master can’t return for the time being. The matter he is occupied with involves a lot of things, but there is one thing that is certain—nothing has happened to my master.”

Sect master Xuan Kun and the others nodded. Although disappointed, the most important thing was that they received news that their supreme sovereign was fine.

Patriarch Bian Chang’s crystal-like eyes lit up, causing the void to vibrate. “It’s really great to receive news about the supreme sovereign at this time. Grand elder Chi Jing, our Tianyuan Region has to fight with all our strength in this war. Since those dogs of the Wanzu Region dared to bite anyone, we should make them know what it feels like to have their muscles and bones broken!”

Murderous intent surged from him as he was speaking.

Sect master Xuan Kun said indifferently, “Speaking of this, it has been a while since a Law Domain expert of Hunyuan Heaven has fallen.”

His tone and words sounded a little domineering, and it felt as though he looked down on the Law Domain experts of the top five forces. But as a veteran Law Domain expert and someone who had received guidance from supreme sovereign Cang Yuan in the past, he indeed had the qualification to do so.

Patriarch Bai Ye nodded with a smile.

Clan leader Mu Ni nodded gracefully. “When Hong Jiuyuan was wounded back then, he begged me for treatment. If I knew about today, I would have only left him with his hands and feet.”

Zhou Yuan grinned inwardly, watching the several grand elders express their opinions. He could tell that they didn't seem to think highly of the Law Domain experts of the other top forces. At the very least, the five Law Domain experts present wouldn't fear them.

Chi Jing nodded, and they finally reached a conclusion.

“In the next few days, in addition to the prefecture lords and sect masters, all Divine Dwelling experts, Heavenly Sun experts and Nascent Source experts must gather in Tianyuan Utopia, ready for battle!”

...

Soon after Chi Jing returned to the Tianyuan Utopia, the news of the top five forces declaring war on the Tianyuan Region soon spread throughout the 900 prefectures.

The entire Tianyuan Region was shaken.

No one thought that someone would dare launch a war against one of the nine regions!

This made countless people in Tianyuan Region feel strong anger rise in them. After all, as citizens of the Tianyuan Region, they were proud of being part of the nine regions, and the top five forces’ action was undoubtedly similar to a wolf provoking a tiger!

However, there were a number of people worried. They were considered to have sharper senses, and they could feel that the sudden war felt like a conspiracy.

The top five forces were acting on behalf of the Wanzu Region!
