Chapter 1390 Gathering in the Cangxuan Sect Again (1/2)

Shengzhou Continent, the Cangxuan Sect.

The Cangxuan Sect was especially busy for the past few days because the sect masters of the other three great sects had rushed to the Cangxuan Sect with sizable entourages. With such a line-up, something big was definitely happening in the Cangxuan Sect.

Of the once six great sects, the Sacred Palace had grown far more powerful than the rest, while the Heavenly Ghost Sect had been destroyed, leaving only the Cangxuan Sect, Sword Seeker Sect, Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace and the North Sea Dragon Subduing Hall to form a unified front against the Sacred Palace. With all four of these great sects gathered today, it was as if a storm was brewing here and even the tiniest disturbance would ripple through the entire Cangxuan Heaven.

The elite disciples of the other three sects had been placed on a plaza on the Cangxuan Sect main peak.

“I wonder what made our sect masters suddenly rush to the Cangxuan Sect. We’ve never gathered in a single sect even when the four sects formally allied together in the past…” The disciples from the three sects were rather puzzled by the recent events and were unable to understand this sudden visit to the Cangxuan Sect.

Although the four great sects had allied against the Sacred Palace, there was no hierarchy among them. Hence, it felt a little excessive of the Cangxuan Sect to suddenly summon the sect masters of the other three sects.

Surprisingly, however, the three sect masters had not objected and instead rushed over immediately.

“The Cangxuan Sect has crossed the line this time. Do they think they’re the leader of the four great sects?” One of the disciples voiced his dissatisfaction. Everyone usually sat on equal footing, so having the Cangxuan Sect call the others over was a little ‘boss-like’.

“Sigh, the Sacred Palace is growing stronger and stronger, let’s stop bickering about such things or we might soon share the Heavenly Ghost Sect’s fate.” There were of course no lack of more far-sighted individuals who tried to pacify the crowd.

While the disciples of the other three sects were grumbling, some of the elite Cangxuan Sect disciples that had been stationed here as well to accompany their guests chuckled in a mysterious manner and said, “It seems that you guys have yet to receive the news. Haven’t you guys realized that the Sacred Palace’s offensive is gradually being stopped in many battlefields?”

The disciples from the three sects looked at each other and could not help but ask, “I do vaguely recall hearing that a group of top experts have been reinforcing our forces, but what does that have to do with the Cangxuan Sect?”

The Cangxuan Sect disciple grinned. “That powerful force was sent by the all-heavens. Do you guys know who their leader is?”

The smile on his face grew increasingly pleased and proud. “It’s our Cangxuan Sect’s senior brother Zhou Yuan!”

“Zhou Yuan?” The disciples of the other three sects cried out in surprise. Soon after, however, someone said, “I’ve heard of Zhou Yuan before. He rose to fame in the battle for Guyuan Heaven years ago, but he was only at the Heavenly Sun stage back then. The reinforcement group’s weakest expert is a peak Nascent Source practitioner, and they even have more than a dozen Law Domain experts. How can Zhou Yuan possibly be their leader given his cultivation? Those all-heavens experts will never accept that!”

The Cangxuan Sect disciple curled his lips. “What’s the point of saying such outdated information now? When senior brother Zhou Yuan returned a few days ago, he encountered the Sacred Palace Golden Sacred Hall master Pang Yang outside Great Zhou City. I heard that Pang Yang wasn’t able to survive even a single blow and was swiftly slain by senior brother Zhou Yuan outside the city.”

Uproar!

Shock appeared on the faces of the disciples. The Sacred Palace Golden Sacred Hall master Pang Yang was a mighty and untouchable existence to them, and they would normally only hear of his terrible deeds and ferocity. It was hard to believe that such a person had been killed by Zhou Yuan in a single move.

“That’s nonsense, right?”

“Although Zhou Yuan is quite famous in the al-heavens, he can’t have grown so powerful already, right?”

“This kind of thing can’t really be lied about though?”

“Then Zhou Yuan has really reached that level?”

The disciples were in an uproar. However, one could tell that most of them were stunned and doubtful. After all, killing a Law Domain expert in a single strike was far too unbelievable to them.

Several figures stood on a mountain peak nearby, watching the plaza as they listened.

A clear, oriole-like voice chirped in a joyous tone, “It seems that the news is true. Zhou Yuan has returned!”
