Chapter 1047 Draw (1/2)
Qin Lian was the sixth-ranker on the Heavenly Sun List, and her Genesis Qi foundation far exceeded Zhang Chengfeng’s. This match should have been hers!
However, with both of them exiting the tower, it was clearly a draw!
This situation was undoubtedly the most beneficial to the Great Five Alliance. After all, a sure defeat turning into a draw was greatly to their advantage.
Uproar!
Whispers erupted in the area as several gazes turned excited. They had originally believed the Tianyuan Region would achieve a smooth victory, but now, it seemed that things were turning out quite differently.
No one faulted the Great Five Alliance for using such tactics because the metal tower was constructed by supreme sovereign Cang Yuan and had its own probing abilities. If the Great Five Alliance were able to successfully bring in that strange rune, it meant that they had tricked the senses of a supreme sovereign.
Some of the smarter individuals knew that this was akin to a game of chess between the two supreme sovereigns.
Supreme sovereign Cang Yuan wished to restrict the Great Five Alliance through the tower, but supreme sovereign Wan Zu was no pushover either. Although they had entered supreme sovereign Cang Yuan’s arena, supreme sovereign Wan Zu clearly did not plan on following the rules set by Cang Yuan...
Amidst the whispers, the Tianyuan Region camp was silent.
The outcome was clearly very difficult for them to accept.
“How despicable!” Mu Youlan gnashed her teeth.
Zhou Yuan’s expression had also darkened substantially, but he did not say anything because it was meaningless.
Although Chi Jing, sect master Xuan Kun and the others surged with anger in their eyes, they did not speak either. They also understood that it was pointless.
Qin Lian returned with a frosty face, a chilling aura spreading from her entire body. She was the most sullen one. Victory was clearly right before her eyes, but her opponent had ultimately forced her into a stalemate. It was nearly impossible to suppress such emotions.
Mu Youlan hurriedly walked over and consoled her in a soft voice.
Qin Lian didn’t utter a single word, but her tightly clenched fists revealed her inner feelings.
There was nothing good for Zhou Yuan to say at this juncture. He could only wait for her to calm her anger.
Chi Jing, sect master Xuan Kun and the other three grand elders exchanged a look before looking towards Bai Yu. “You will take the second match.”
However...
Zhou Yuan glanced at Chi Jing, seeing her grave expression. No one knew whether their opponents still had any more of that strange rune. It was something that even Law Domain experts could not create, and it was likely supreme sovereign Wan Zu’s handiwork.
That old dog! Zhou Yuan could not help but curse inside. To think that an almighty supreme sovereign would be so unscrupulous. He clearly did not care about his status and was determined to force the Tianyuan Region into its grave.
All of this was for the sake of forcing out master Cang Yuan.
Zhou Yuan’s pupils suddenly shrank. From the information he currently had, the supreme sovereign had to have a deeper reason for forcing out master Cang Yuan...his target was likely Yaoyao.
Who exactly is Yaoyao? Why did she elicit such elaborate schemes from Hunyuan Heaven’s big bosses?
Zhou Yuan’s face was extremely stormy. No matter who Yaoyao was, there was absolutely no way he would let her land in supreme sovereign Wan Zu’s hands. Zhou Yuan could trust Cang Yuan, and Cang Yuan also treated Yaoyao as his kin. There was no need for Zhou Yuan to worry about Cang Yuan hurting her.
But the same could not be said for supreme sovereign Wan Zu.
Old dog, how dare you plot against Yaoyao. When I step into the Saint sage, I’ll definitely chop off your head! Zhou Yuan made a small goal for himself.
Before he could accomplish this goal, however, the Tianyuan Region had to first solve the problem in front of them. If the mystical creature fell into the hands of supreme sovereign Wan Zu, he might be able to force out master Cang Yuan by taking the Tianyuan Region hostage.
While Zhou Yuan’s eyes were flickering in thought, Bai Yu’s figure shot forward under countless watching gazes.
