Chapter 1459 Cangxuan Prepares for Battle (1/2)

As supreme sovereign Wan Zu’s terrifying oppressive pressure pervaded the world, Zhou Yuan’s expression went tense. A true veteran double-lotus Saint was indeed someone not to be trifled with.

However, was Zhou Yuan still a junior who Wan Zu could easily sever ten fingers from?!

Rumble!

With one thought from Zhou Yuan, dense thunderclouds rapidly gathered in the boundless sky. As Genesis Qi pulsed inside them, they produced deep rumbles of thunder.

All the Saints present could feel astonishing heaven power brewing.

Zhou Yuan didn’t dare to act arrogant in front of a veteran double-lotus Saint. He directly circulated Cangxuan Heaven’s power.

Both sides stood ready and the atmosphere grew increasingly tense.

“Haha, Wan Zu, don't think of bullying my little junior brother when our master isn’t around.” A hearty laughter suddenly rang out.

A scarlet light sped over from the distance, transforming into two figures.

The two figures, one man and one woman, landed in the hall’s depths. The woman, who was heroic-looking and had short burgundy hair, was of course Chi Jing, and the man, who stood tall and straight while carrying a tremendous crimson gourd on his back was naturally Zhuan Zhu, Zhou Yuan's senior brother.

Zhuan Zhu peered at the two facing each other head-to-head and slammed his giant gourd. A crimson torrent soared into the sky, and within that torrent was endless red-hot sand that could incinerate the vault of heaven.

“Zhuan Zhu, you crossed the line!” Lu Liu’s face darkened when he saw Zhuan Zhu coming. Several rays of green light burst forth from the top of his head, transforming into huge ferocious toxic beasts surrounded in terrifying fierce power.

Seeing a battle break out at a slight disagreement between the two sides, the other Saints exchanged glances with each other, not knowing what to do.

“Stop right now!” Just as all the other Saints felt a headache coming on, a furious roar rang out like a rumble of thunder.

Boom!

Purple qi rushed into the sky like a purple river of stars, separating the two sides on the verge of battling.

Beneath the purple river of stars was supreme sovereign Zi Xiao’s elegant and beautiful face shrouded in frost and her almond eyes wide open in fury.

Supreme sovereign Zi Xiao’s ample chest heaved up and down, showing her anger.

“Have you created enough trouble yet?! If you really want to cause trouble, I suggest you go to the Omega Shrine!”

Both supreme sovereign Wan Zu and Zhou Yuan fell silent. Although their faces remained cold and fierce, the terrifying pressure had lessened.

They both knew they couldn’t really fight and what they did was just to show their stance.

Supreme sovereign inhaled deeply, massaging her brows with her fair hands. “Heaven Master Zhou Yuan, we came to Cangxuan Heaven to help with the defense. There is no primary or secondary among us. I suggest us three to jointly be in charge. We can discuss everything. What do you say?”

Zhou Yuan said with a smile, “If everyone is as reasonable and considerate as supreme sovereign Zi Xiao, there wouldn’t be as many conflicts.”

In truth, Zhou Yuan didn’t mind who was in charge. It was just that supreme sovereign Wan Zu clearly intended to suppress him and if he didn’t act tough in response, his authority as Heaven Master of Cangxuan Heaven would be impacted.

Supreme sovereign Zi Xiao shot a look at him and shifted her gaze to supreme sovereign Wan Zu. “Wan Zu, I know you don’t get along with Cang Yuan but you shouldn’t give Zhou Yuan a hard time. We all have a heavy responsibility and if anything happens to Cangxuan Heaven, how do we explain to the other Saints?”

The mighty Saint power that Supreme sovereign Wan Zu emitted completely dissipated as he said indifferently, “I don’t have any selfish intent. I just truly feel that Zhou Yuan doesn’t have such an ability. But since you said so, I will give you face.

“I just hope that he will be as tough as he is today when he meets the veteran Saints of the Sacred Race. After all, the enemies wouldn’t be as easily restrained as I. If Cangxuan Heaven suffered any loss, the Heaven Master of Cangxuan Heaven will be the first to bear it.”

He didn’t glance at Zhou Yuan again when he finished his sentence. His figure gradually became illusory and he eventually vanished into thin air.

Lu Liu and the other Saints who were obviously biased towards supreme sovereign Wan Zu also left.

Zhuan Zhu and Chi Jing came over from afar. Zhuan Zhu carefully studied Zhou Yuan from top to bottom and gave him a thumbs up in the end. “I always found that old guy who takes advantage of his seniority is an eyesore. My little junior brother is so courageous to vent his anger!”

Zhou Yuan looked at Zhuan Zhu and a smile spread across his face. Although he had only seen his senior brother once, he was very fond of him because of his bright and easygoing character.

“I have to thank senior brother for obstructing Lu Liu. Otherwise I wouldn’t know how to deal with him.”

Zhuan Zhu waved his hand, grinning. “It would be different if it was Wan Zu. He’s very strong and I likely can’t deal with him alone. Next time when we have a chance, we should join hands and secretly teach him a lesson so he would avoid us when he sees us.”
