277 Crisis (2/2)

But Luo Qinghan paid him no mind.

Indeed.

Earlier on, they were preparing to enter the Guiyao planet to participate in the Alliance Hunt. There were quite a number of ultimate Dharma disciples from the Jihan Sect who had made it clear to her that if she wanted, they were willing to help her accumulate points by taking out the beasts without anything in return.

However, Luo Qinghan had turned that down.

She knew very well that those ultimate Dharma disciples were not being sincere when they said they would do it without expecting anything in return.

They had only offered to help her so they could get to know Zhou Donghuang through her, or even curry favor with him.

With the results that Zhou Donghuang had demonstrated today, there was little doubt that he would become a huge figure in the Hengliu galaxy as long as he did not give up halfway through!

An existence like his was destined to rise to the top as long as he persisted, and it was the dream of many to rub shoulders with him before he blew up.

”I cannot owe him any more favors.”

After rejecting the bunch of ultimate Dharma disciples from the Jihan Sect, Luo Qinghan had but this one thought in her head.

Yuan Zheng's smile slowly faded from his face when he realized that Luo Qinghan was ignoring him. He remarked callously, ”Luo Qinghan, what are you doing pretending to be all high and mighty when we're already at this point?

”At the start while we were still on the Tianxuan planet, you acted as if you were some saint. You had no wants and you could not be bothered with me. But now, you're all over that Zhou Donghuang.

”You've only been accepted into the Jihan Sect for a few years. Even if you knew him, how long could you have possibly known him for? Have you known him for longer than you have known me?

”Can you truly say that you're not only so chummy with him because his martial talent and future achievements have caught your eye?”

Luo Qinghan had been keeping her back to Yuan Zheng. At this point in his rant, her face fell completely, and she stopped in her tracks.

”One more word out of you, Yuan Zheng… Don't blame me for what I'll do next!” Luo Qinghan said somberly. Her hands were curled into tight fists, and her eyes were gleaming with fury.

”Alright, then…”

Yuan Zheng, on the other hand, chuckled at her words. ”Just as well, I wanted to see for myself just how strong you are now.

”I'll be honest—I was quite surprised to see that you could take part in the Alliance Hunt.”

Almost right before Luo Qinghan turned, Yuan Zheng tossed a black bead that he had concealed in his palms. The bead was flicked high up into the sky, and the horizon was aglow with resplendent fireworks.

”Hm?”

Luo Qinghan noticed the fireworks going off above her head at the same time she turned. Her face shifted a little. ”Are you calling for the disciples from the Tiansong Sect to come?”

Without any hesitation, Luo Qinghan turned to leave.

She was already uncertain if she could take on Yuan Zheng just as he was.

He would definitely not be a match for her if another Tiansong Sect disciple joined the fray!

”Where are you rushing off to, Luo Qinghan?”

Yuan Zheng laughed blandly. With a twist of his body, he stepped in front of Luo Qinghan to prevent her from moving forward anymore.

At the sight of this, Luo Qinghan had no choice but to retrieve a similar black bead from her space ring. She wanted to launch this one into the sky.

Since Yuan Zheng wanted to call the closest Tiansong Sect disciples to him, then she had no choice but to do the same and call for the closest Jihan Sect disciples to come to her.

The disciples of all the allied sects had their assigned signal flares.

But Yuan Zheng was one step ahead of her; he stopped her from getting her way. ”Luo Qinghan, don't you dare call for people right in front of me.”

As her face twitched yet again, she had no choice but to brandish her spirit weapon to exchange blows with Yuan Zheng. After she hit at him enough for him to retreat a little, she would have a window to launch the signal flare.

The only problem with this plan was that Yuan Zheng was not actually weaker than her. The two of them were rather well-matched in strength, so she would not have the chance to launch her signal flare.

Judging by his strength, Yuan Zheng would be able to wound and defeat her the moment she was distracted with launching the signal flare.

Once she was wounded, she would become a slab of fish on Yuan Zheng's chopping block.

That was something she absolutely refused to watch happen.

As such, she could only resist as best as she could.

”Luo Qinghan, I didn't launch the signal flare to call for people to help me defeat you… If it's just you, I'm more than strong enough to deal with you.”

Yuan Zheng chuckled darkly, ”I launched the signal flare to call for Senior Brother Mo… Senior Brother Mo, he's not too far from here.

”Tsk, tsk… I really am looking forward to sending you tumbling into his embrace and letting him own you. I wonder how he'd thank me for helping him get back at Zhou Donghuang for the humiliation he was subjected to.

”With him backing me, my future in the Tiansong Sect will be a smooth sailing one!”

Yuan Zheng believed that the heavens had been looking out for him when they had him cross paths with Luo Qinghan, allowing him to redeem himself.

It was important to note that he had indirectly embarrassed Mo Yitian, the top of the younger generation in the Tiansong Sect. This was something other man had despised him for.

Two days ago, when Mo Yitian met him, the former had thrown him a cold glance.

It was not difficult to imagine that Mo Yitian might have killed him if not for the fact that they were both under the same sect.

But today, he had finally found the opportunity to repair his relationship with Mo Yitian.
