Chapter 1207 Meeting Again (1/2)

When Zhou Yuan arrived, the first thing he saw was Zhuan Zhu standing with his hands behind his back. However, he was somewhat surprised to also find Chi Jing, grand elder Mu Ni, sect master Xuan Kun and three other individuals with the strength of the Nascent Source stage.

One of the three Nascent Source experts was no stranger to Zhou Yuan. It was Yi Yan, who he had been drinking with last night. The other two, however, were a little unfamiliar.

There seemed to be more people than he had expected.

Zhuan Zhu saw the puzzled look on Zhou Yuan and explained with a smile, “These two are elders Zhao Yuefu and Xue Qinglong. Together with elder Yi Yan, they’re the three strongest Nascent Source experts of our Tianyuan Region.”

Zhao Yuefu was an elegant and handsome long-haired man. He revealed a friendly smile at Zhou Yuan.

Xue Qinglong was a graceful lady in azure clothes. She carefully scrutinized Zhou Yuan and said, “Supreme sovereign Zhuan Zhu, didn’t you say that this mission is extremely dangerous and requires at least the perfect Nascent Source stage strength?”

Xue Qinglong was clearly not someone who would easily be pushed around, and did not hold back in her words. She did not appear to care about Zhou Yuan’s status and his recent popularity.

Zhuan Zhu chuckled inwardly. Xue Qinglong might be a woman, but she was one of the most competitive Nascent Source experts in the Tianyuan Region. Zhou Yuan naturally could not enter her eyes previously as a Heavenly Sun expert, but since he was now at the advanced Nascent Source stage and officially part of the Nascent Source level, Xue Qinglong had naturally started taking notice of him.

Smiling, Chi Jing said, “Zhou Yuan could go toe to toe with the Sacred Race’s advanced Heavenly Sun experts at the intermediate Heavenly Sun stage. Although he is only an advanced Nascent Source expert, I feel that his true strength is no weaker than a perfect Nascent Source expert.”

Xue Qinglong crossed her arms, pushing up a pair of giant peaks, as she nonchalantly said, “The gap between the Nascent Source lesser cultivation realms is far greater than the Heavenly Sun stage.

“However, since supreme sovereign Zhuan Zhu has no complaints, I will naturally have none either.”

She did not have any objections against Zhou Yuan, and had merely been stating a fact earlier. She felt that since Zhuan Zhu had highlighted the dangers of this mission, it did not make sense to bring along a new advanced Nascent Source expert like Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan glanced at the proud Xue Qinglong, but did not argue with her. He turned towards Zhuan Zhu and asked, “Are they coming along?”

Zhou Yuan’s eyes narrowed. From Zhuan Zhu’s words, awakening Yaoyao won’t be as simple or easy as he had imagined.

Was someone going to interfere?

Zhuan Zhu said, “To prevent others from finding our tracks, we can’t bring too many people. That’s why we’ll only be taking the most elite experts.”

Zhou Yuan hesitated briefly before he asked in a low voice, “Is it the Wanzu Region?”

Zhuan Zhu fell a little silent. “I’m afraid they won’t be the only ones.”

He glanced at Zhou Yuan and said, “

Zhou Yuan silently nodded.

Yaoyao’s identity must certainly be frightening if even a Saint like Zhuan Zhu was so cautious about it. However, regardless of her origins, in his heart, she would still be the same Yaoyao that had walked out together with him from the Great Zhou Empire.

They had experienced so much together. Without Yaoyao, Zhou Yuan knew that he would not have achieved everything he had today.

It had not been apparent while Yaoyao was at his side, but after she fell into a deep sleep and he had to struggle alone, Zhou Yuan finally realized how much he actually relied on her support.

The feelings between them were inseverable by anything, and Zhou Yuan would do everything in power to protect these feelings.

Zhou Yuan raised his head and gazed at the starry sky, his eyes filled with determination.
