Chapter 1362 Xu Beiyan’s Death (1/2)

The conflict between Zhou Yuan and Xu Beiyan naturally drew the attention of the all-heaven Saint experts outside the Stone Dragon Secret Domain.

“What’s going on?” The all-heavens Saint experts frowned slightly, evidently unclear on why Zhou Yuan was suddenly making things difficult for Xu Beiyan. One must know that they had just repelled their mortal enemy. Wouldn’t such conduct make them look like a joke?

Saint Lu Liu’s expression sank. He immediately looked towards Cang Yuan, demanding an explanation. “Supreme sovereign Cang Yuan, your disciple is so domineering. Is he trying to boss others around just because he made a big contribution?!”

The other Saint experts also looked towards Cang Yuan, only to find him rather composed with what seemed to be slight mockery in his eyes. As individuals that could become Saint experts, they were naturally not fools and immediately understood that this matter was not so simple. Zhou Yuan seemed like a rational person and was definitely doing this for a reason.

“Saint Lu Liu, quietly watch and see. Your disciple is far more cunning than you think,” said Cang Yuan with indifference, not bothering to explain anything to Lu Liu.

Lu Liu’s expression darkened. He turned towards prime sovereign Jin Luo, but found that he was also very calm, causing Lu Liu’s heart to sink even further.

The all-heavens Saint experts turned their attention back to the Stone Dragon Secret Domain and listened to Zhou Yuan’s reasoning.

“Xu Beiyan obstructed Zhou Yuan from entering the barrier, causing him to be smashed into the ground by Tai Xuan and sustain heavy injuries?!”

“I can’t believe that such a thing happened!”

“I did observe Zhou Yuan’s body pause for a split second just as he was about to enter the boundary, but thought that it was because he ran out of Genesis Qi. To think there was such a hidden detail!”

“I’m shocked at Xu Beiyan’s ruthlessness.”

The Saint experts were extraordinarily capable individuals, and it naturally did not take them long to realize several suspicious points.

Supreme sovereign Lu Liu’s face turned as black as a wok bottom as his gaze rapidly flickered in thought. In the end, he gritted his teeth and said, “Prime sovereign Jin Luo, that’s only Zhou Yuan’s one-sided account. Although Xu Beiyan’s contributions cannot match up to Zhou Yuan’s, he should not be allowed to slander someone else so easily. Otherwise, who would willingly fight for the all-heavens in the future?”

Cang Yuan coldly said, “You took the words right out of my mouth.

“After doing such a great service for the all-heavens, how disheartening would it be if Zhou Yuan was forced to swallow this unfair treatment? Xu Beiyan was so evil and committed such a terrible crime. He cannot be forgiven!”

“You! Cang Yuan, on what basis do you accuse Xu Beiyan! We’ve not even gotten to the bottom of this matter!” Anger flared in supreme sovereign Lu Liu’s eyes.

Cang Yuan’s bottomless eyes stared at the Stone Dragon Secret Domain, watching the Zhao Mushen trio reveal themselves. Cang Yuan focused on the devouring vortex in Zhao Mushen’s hand and said, “Let’s continue watching.”

Unknown emotions swirled in the eyes of the many Saint experts as they cast their gazes back to the Stone Dragon Secret Domain.

……

The dragon head battlezone.

Everyone solemnly looked over when Zhao Mushen revealed the devouring vortex on his palm. The gazes of several people already began to change when they turned back to Xu Beiyan. After all, Zhao Mushen must be confident if he dared to make such claims.

In contrast to Zhao Mushen, Xu Beiyan’s face gradually paled, his earlier confidence slowly slipping away.

Before opening the devouring vortex, Zhao Mushen said to Zhou Yuan, “Zhou Yuan, seal the area first in case someone tries to escape.”

Zhou Yuan faintly nodded. With a wave of his sleeve, Genesis Qi gradually converged behind Xu Beiyan, turning into a cage of sorts.

Zhao Mushen then lifted his hand and the devouring vortex began to blossom like a flower, peeling off layer by layer. The strand of Spirit power trapped within it slowly began to rise into the air.

Xu Beiyan stared at the strand of Spirit power that was slowly being released. Its aura had already been refined by Zhao Mushen, making Xu Beiyan unable to sense any connection to it.

This bastard must be trying to scare me!

Veins crawled out in Xu Beiyan’s eyes as his heartbeat quickened. His intuition told him that Zhao Mushen was most likely bluffing.

But...what if it was real?!

Xu Beiyan felt very afraid, because he knew full well that he was the culprit. If the Spirit power captured by Zhao Mushen was his, Zhou Yuan would likely kill him on the spot.

Given Zhou Yuan’s current strength, it was impossible for Xu Beiyan to resist.

Xu Beiyan’s eyes frantically flickered in thought.

No, I can’t stay here. Zhou Yuan is already too strong and I will very likely be killed if my guess is wrong. I need to somehow return to master’s side. Even if the truth is revealed and I have to be punished, master will at least be able to safeguard my life. I can always make a comeback in the future!

Thoughts rapidly flashed across Xu Beiyan’s mind in that split second moment. In the end, he made his decision right before the strand of Spirit power was about to be released.

Rumble!
