Chapter 1119 Rescue (1/2)

Mu Youlan could not help but ask, “How dare the Sacred Palace team do that! Aren’t they afraid of cutting themselves off from everyone else?”

If something like this occurred in Hunyuan Heaven, even an entity like one of the nine factions would become everyone’s common enemy, and be immediately exterminated by everyone else.

Hence, this was inconceivable to people like Qin Lian, Mu Youlan and the other Hunyuan Heaven members.

Zuoqiu Qingyu and Luluo felt uncomfortable under the many surrounding gazes. After all, this matter had happened in Cangxuan Heaven, and was honestly quite shameful for them.

Zhou Yuan waved his hand and explained, “Cangxuan Heaven is the weakest of the Heavens. Hence, it has been the target of the Sacred Race’s plotting for many years. The Sacred Palace is a faction that was brought up by the Sacred Race.

“In the beginning, the Sacred Palace had managed to conceal their roots. By the time the truth was finally revealed, their strength had already reached the apex of Cangxuan Heaven, and there was no longer anyone left to restrain them.

“It was also the Sacred Palace that forced me to leave Cangxuan Heaven.”

Qin Lian and the others nodded in comprehension. They understood that the other Cangxuan Heaven factions were not to blame. After all, Cangxuan Heaven did not possess Hunyuan Heaven’s overwhelming power, and it was very difficult for them to completely eliminate the Sacred Race’s influence.

Moreover, even a seemingly almighty existence like Hunyuan Heaven was extremely wary of the mysterious and powerful Sacred Race, let alone the weakest Cangxuan Heaven...

Zhou Yuan solemnly asked, “What’s the current state of Cangxuan Heaven’s main force?”

“After being beaten, the Cangxuan Heaven factions elected the Cangxuan Sect’s senior brother Chu Qing as their leader. He’s been leading the remaining forces to resist the Sacred Palace’s attacks. However, the situation is still very dire. With a Sacred Palace team on the other side, we only continued to suffer devastating losses.”

“Senior brother Chu Qing?” The familiar name evoked several memories within Zhou Yuan. The picture of a bald and care-free man, who was exceptionally lazy, flashed in his mind.

However, when even someone as lazy as Chu Qing was forced to step forward and become a leader, one could see just how bad things were for Cangxuan Heaven.

Luluo puffed her cheeks and angrily said, “I met those people before coming here, but they didn’t even bother listening to me first before trying to snatch Little Frost.”

Zhou Yuan nodded and suddenly asked, “Who's the Sacred Palace captain?”

“Li Xuan, a Chosen of the previous generation, and also the current strongest Heavenly expert in the Sacred Palace and the entire Cangxuan Heaven.”

“He’s a vicious, double-crossing bastard! He’s practically a snake!” added Luluo.

The name was unfamiliar to Zhou Yuan, but that was to be expected. When he was still active in Cangxuan Heaven, he had only been at the initial Divine Dwelling stage, while Li Xuan was most likely already at the Heavenly Sun stage since he was a Chosen of the previous generation.

Li Xuan might have heard of Zhou Yuan, and most likely laughed him off. An initial Divine Dwelling expert was not worthy of his attention.

Zuoqiu Qingyu hesitated for a moment before asking, “Zhou Yuan, will you...will you help us?”

Although she knew Zhou Yuan had extraordinary status in the Tianyuan Region, this matter was far too big. Once he got involved, he would have to face the Sacred Race.

Hence, Zuoqiu Qingyu was not certain if Zhou Yuan would be willing. After all, he was now a Tianyuan Region grand elder, and needed to be responsible for the safety of the Tianyuan Region team.

Luluo did not say anything. She merely looked at Zhou Yuan with expectant eyes.

The numerous surrounding gazes converged onto Zhou Yuan.

He stared at the rising flames, displaying no hesitation as he smiled and said, “Although I’m currently a Tianyuan Region grand elder, my roots are in Cangxuan Heaven. This is an unchangeable fact. My feelings for the Cangxuan Sect are no weaker than the Tianyuan Region.
