Chapter 1388 Must Die (2/2)

There were already more than twenty Law Domain experts alone in the force led by Zhou Yuan, while the others were at the peak of the Nascent Source stage. To be blunt, besides the Sacred Palace, none of the other four great sects could match this line-up.

Zhou Yuan pondered for a moment and said, “I’d like to ask peak master to return to the Cangxuan Sect and notify sect master Qing Yang to invite the other three great sect leaders to the Cangxuan Sect to discuss an attack against the Sacred Palace.

“These reinforcements will follow you back to the Cangxuan Sect and help to stabilize the situation in Cangxuan Heaven.”

Shen Taiyuan was overjoyed and immediately said, “This news will definitely make sect master Qing Yang and the others very happy.”

Although he had been stationed at the Great Zhou Empire, the Cangxuan Sect would always send news to update him on the latest happenings. Hence, he was aware of how much pressure sect master Qing Yang was constantly under, especially when the Heavenly Ghost Sect was wiped out. The usually composed sect master had begun to seriously worry about the Cangxuan Sect’s future.

Zhou Yuan’s timely arrival with strong reinforcements was akin to rain during a drought for Cangxuan Heaven.

“As for me, I wish to stay in Great Zhou City for a few days to spend time with my parents. After which, I will head to the Cangxuan Sect.”

Shen Taiyuan indicated that he understood. Zhou Yuan had left his home for more than ten years and Zhou Qing and Qin Yu never stopped thinking about him. Since he had finally returned, it was naturally his duty to spend some quality time with his parents. In addition, the reinforcements Zhou Yuan brought should be enough to stabilize the current situation.

“There is no time to lose, I will set off at once.” Shen Taiyuan was itching to get on with it.

Zhou Yuan nodded and waved his hand. The group at his command appeared in the sky and cupped their fists together towards him in acknowledgement.

Shen Taiyuan also cupped his fists together at Zhou Yuan before rising into the air.

In the next moment, nearly a hundred figures zipped off, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Yuan watched them leave before turning his head and was surprised to find two beautiful figures standing together. He had expected Su Youwei to stay behind, but it was surprising that Wu Yao had not left...

One must know that it was this very spot outside the city walls where King Wu had taken his sacred dragon blessing and poured it into Wu Yao and Wu Huang.

The saying ‘python and sparrow devour the dragon’ had originated from this very place.

It was a place of sadness for both parties. Zhou Yuan had suffered tremendously before slowly stepping onto the path of cultivation, while Wu Yao had lost her mother and eventually her entire family, leaving her all alone.

While these thoughts swirled in Zhou Yuan’s head, Wu Yao walked over with calm eyes and said, “The mistake from back then was made by my father. Although he has already passed, what has happened will not disappear. Since I’m here, I will not choose to avoid it.”

Zhou Yuan was taken aback. This woman was really unbelievably stubborn. Was she trying to atone for King Wu’s crimes?

He sighed inside but did not say anything to console her. Given Wu Yao’s character, this was not something that a few words could resolve. He could only wait for her to truly let go of these past grievances.

Su Youwei interjected at this moment to change the topic. She looked at Zhou Yuan and hesitated for a moment before she said, “Are you confident in taking on palace master Sheng Yuan?”

Wu Yao also turned her attention towards Zhou Yuan. A mere cultivation double from palace master Sheng Yuan had already been so powerful. From this, they could tell that he was clearly far stronger than the Sacred Race’s Tai Xuan.

Although Zhou Yuan was called number one under the Saint stage, the foe he faced this time was no ordinary person, but a half-Saint!

Zhou Yuan raised his head, stared at the horizon that resembled burning clouds and slowly said, “This battle will determine the future of Cangxuan Heaven. This is where I was born and I will never allow Sheng Yuan to destroy it.”

His eyes lowered as killing intent surged out like the tide. “Hence...Sheng Yuan must die.”
