Chapter 999 Summoning Order (2/2)
The Wanzu Region had the protection of supreme sovereign Wan Zu, but supreme sovereign Cang Yuan had been missing for many years, and it was uncertain whether he was alive. Many people couldn't help but worry why the top five forces would want to provoke the Tianyuan Region. Could it be that they were certain that supreme sovereign Cang Yuan was unable to return?
Thus, in the tense atmosphere of the Tianyuan Region, while countless people were infuriated at the top five forces’ provocation and were clamoring to take revenge, a lot of panic and uneasy emotions were secretly surging.
...
In just a few days, the Tianyuan Region’s defense grew much stronger, and all teleportation formations were temporarily closed. At the same time, a large number of Tianyuan Region’s shadow guards flew around within Tianyuan Utopia, removing the spies that the top five forces had placed in the city.
Chi Jing and the others were long aware of those spies’ existence. It was just that they weren’t a threat, so they allowed them to live during this peaceful period.
But a war was on the verge of breaking out, and the top five forces had directly made it onto Tianyuan Region’s enemy list. Therefore, they longer had to show mercy to those spies.
So for the next few days, violent Genesis Qi often erupted from various areas of the Tianyuan Utopia, but fortunately, it was very quickly suppressed.
The spies obviously didn't have the ability to escape in the Tianyuan Region’s headquarters.
In addition, during those days, more and more experts of the Divine Dwelling stage, Heavenly Sun stage and Nascent Source stage rushed to the Tianyuan Utopia from various places, causing Tianyuan Utopia to be overcrowded. The smell of war and fire filled the entire world.
On an empty island in the northwest of Tianyuan Utopia.
There was only a huge square on the island, where endless crowds filled the square from one side to the other. The aura this crowd emitted was so great that it numbed people’s scalps.
Moreover, powerful Genesis Qi was roaming around every single person. Everyone’s strength was at least of the Divine Dwelling stage or above!
Summoned by Chi Jing, the experts of all clans, sects and forces that fit the requirements were sent to Tianyuan Utopia.
In the southwest corner of the square.
The Four Pavilions’ people were all gathered.
Almost everyone of the Four Pavilions possessed strength of the Divine Dwelling stage and were elites of the young generation. Therefore, when they all gathered together, the momentum and imposing aura they exuded weren't weak in the slightest.
Of course, more importantly, the slender figure standing at the forefront not only attracted awed gazes from Divine Dwelling experts. Even Heavenly Sun stage experts studied him curiously.
Naturally, he was Zhou Yuan.
He received so much attention because he had defeated Zhao Mushen and won first place in the nine regions tournament. It should be said that ever since the Tianyuan Region was established, the best result achieved was only third place, and they had never won first place in the nine regions tournament.
The Tianyuan Region had never achieved this honor even during its strongest time, but it happened to achieve it when it was at its weakest. How could others not find it unbelievable?
Zhou Yuan seemed unconcerned about the countless astonished gazes, while Yi Qiushui and Ye Bingling wore proud expressions on their faces.
“The summoned powers are too great. Many heaven pride experts have shown up.” Mu Liu couldn't help marveling when he saw the sea of people on the square.
The majority of the people on the square was once part of the Four Pavilions, and they were also the most influential figures. After leaving the Four Pavilions, they were appointed to various positions in the Tianyuan Region and were rarely seen after that. But they had all been summoned to the Tianyuan Region.
Mu Liu smiled at Zhou Yuan, jokingly saying, “But no matter how powerful they are, they can’t be compared to you, the chief pavilion master who has made history. Isn’t that right, Lu Xiao?”
Lu Xiao’s face stiffly twitched, and he didn't answer Mu Liu, but he kept scanning the surroundings, looking a little nervous.
“What are you doing?” Han Yuan couldn't help asking.
He found that Lu Xiao’s state was a little strange, like he was in a state of anxiety. It wasn't just him; the Heavenly Spirit Sect disciples in the Four Pavilions also recoiled in fear.
Zhou Yuan swept a puzzled look at them.
Seeing Zhou Yuan's inquiring gaze, Lu Xiao uttered in a low voice, “Grand elder Chi Jing has issued a summoning order, which means all experts of the Divine Dwelling stage, Heavenly Sun stage and Nascent Source stage have to come today...”
He swallowed a mouthful of saliva before he continued, “In other words...senior sister Qin Lian will also appear.”
When he uttered the name, Zhou Yuan saw the Heavenly Spirit Sect disciples shudder quietly, as if the temperature had dropped several degrees.
Mu Liu’s and Han Yuan’s faces also changed. They both inhaled sharply and cast a sympathetic look at Lu Xiao. “Hurry and apply to go into closed-door cultivation.”
Lu Xiao was tempted.
Zhou Yuan shook his head and pointed to the crowd moving aside in seconds to let a group of people pass. The group was led by an extremely imposing and tall figure, and where she passed, even Heavenly Sun experts withdrew one after another, their expressions changing.
