Chapter 1385 Quelled (2/2)

“An...Ancestral Dragon Pill?” Shen Taiyuan swallowed repeatedly. The Ancestral Dragon Pill was the most popular product in the all-heavens for the past few years. Countless Nascent Source and Law Domain experts did everything to get their hands on it, but often to no avail. Although Cangxuan Heaven had been quite closed off to worldly affairs, Shen Taiyuan had still heard of this magical pill. In the Cangxuan Sect, sect master Qing Yang had gone through tremendous hardships in order to secure one, and now Zhou Yuan was giving one to him?

After several seconds of silence, Shen Taiyuan’s hand darted forward like a bolt of lightning and grabbed the jade bottle as a smile blossomed on his elderly face. “I feel really bad for making you get such a wonderful gift…”

Although it was important for him to preserve face, what use was face compared to an Ancestral Dragon Pill?

Shen Tiayuan knew that the other Cangxuan Sect peak masters would go crazy with envy once they found out.

Zhou Yuan chuckled. Of course he knew how alluring tha Ancestral Dragon Pill was to Nascent Source and Law Domain experts. Almost no one would be able to reject such a gift.

Shen Taiyuan had helped him protect the Great Zhou Empire for a dozen years and Zhou Yuan owed him a big debt of gratitude.

As the atmosphere relaxed, Zhou Qing peered into the distance in worry. “Yuan’er, what about the Sacred Demon Army?”

Zhou Yuan had only killed Pang Yang while the Sacred Demon Army had scattered and fled. If left unchecked, the army was akin to a tumor that could potentially cause great damage in the Great Zhou Empire’s lands.

Zhou Yuan chuckled. “Relax father, no one can safely escape after harming the Great Zhou Empire.”

Though his tone was nonchalant, the meaning of his words made the crowd’s hearts shiver.

While they were confused, streaks of light suddenly began appearing in the horizon, each giving off an astonishing Genesis Qi pressure.

Their appearance made the city walls fall into panic again.

“What’s going on? Is the Sacred Demon Army back?!”

“Why do I feel that they’ve become stronger?”

Shen Taiyuan’s expression changed drastically as he cried out in alarm, “Careful, there are several Law Domain experts among them! Could the Sacred Palace have sent out all their forces?!”

Everyone was terrified.

While they were panicking, the first streak of light arrived in the sky above the city walls as human figures were thrown onto the city walls like sacks.

Thump! Thump!

The crowd looked over and found that they were members of the Sacred Demon Army that had just escaped. It seemed that all of them had been captured and brought back.

Shocked gaze after gaze was cast towards the sky as the light around the figures faded, revealing the imposing figures within. Everyone’s scalps turned numb because each figure gave off powerful Genesis Qi undulations and the weakest was at the Nascent Source stage!

What’s more, there were more than twenty that gave off Law Domain level undulations!

While the crowd on the city walls was shocked. The mysterious team in the sky cupped their fists together at Zhou Yuan. “Captain Zhou Yuan, we’ve captured all the escapees.”

On the city walls, the crowd turned their gazes back to Zhou Yuan with some difficulty. This group of powerful and mysterious experts were brought back by him?

Under their gazes, Zhou Yuan smiled as he explained, “These are the reinforcements I brought. I said that my goal this time is to...wipe out the Sacred Palace.”

Despite his seemingly calm voice, torrential killing intent seemed to tremble within the final five words.

...

Meanwhile, in the Sacred Continent, deep within the Sacred Palace.

An altar rose from a blood sea. On the altar sat a young man with white hair.

The entire world seemed to breathe along with him as he meditated.

He opened his eyes all of a sudden. They were deep like the starry sky and emotionless.

“Pang Yang is dead…”

He stared into space, seemingly crossing a vast distance to view the Great Zhou Empire. Everything that transpired was rapidly reflected in his pupils.

He then saw a certain young man.

“Zhou Yuan...

“So the dog that was forced to flee its home is finally back…”
