In the face of Yaoyao’s Spirit power, even Jiang Taishen, Chu Qing and other people of their level would have quite a headache when facing her.
So even if Yaoyao did encounter a situation, she would have still escaped unscathed.
This was the reason why Li Qingchan was not too concerned and that she turned her attention to other matters.
Li!
But at this moment a loud and clear cry suddenly resounded from far away. Li Qingchan raised her beautiful head to see a giant ice-blue bird speeding over from the distance until it finally hovered over the peak of the mountain.
Swoosh!
The giant ice-blue giant dived down, causing some of the Cangxuan Sect disciples on the mountain to cry out in alarm. Multiple disciples then immediately soared into the sky in an attempt to block it.
Li Qingchan reached out to stop them. She narrowed her eyes in a piercing stare as her brow knitted. She saw a pretty green-haired girl on the back of the giant ice-blue bird. At this moment, the girl’s delicate and adorable face was filled with worry.
“It’s a disciple from the Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace?” Li Qingchan noticed the pattern on the green-haired girl's robe.
“I am a Luluo of the Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace, a good friend of Yaoyao and Zhou Yuan. Who is in charge here? I have something important to tell!” Luluo urgently explained.
Numerous gazes focused onto Li Qingchan.
Li Qingchan also stepped forward, saying, “I am Cangxuan Sect’s Li Qingchan. What is the problem?”
Luluo darted down from the sky and landed right in front of Li Qingchan. “Quickly go save Yaoyao! Something happened to her!”
Li Qingchan’s beautiful eyes went blank for a moment before she exclaimed, “How can this be?”
Given Yaoyao’s strength, even if an unexpected situation arose, nobody could stop her from leaving.
“The six-color treasure location that Yaoyao went to is a trap set by the Sacred Palace! It’s a mountain that can suppress the Spirit. Yaoyao’s strength is greatly suppressed there!” Luluo explained urgently.
She then said, “The news secretly came from our friend in the Heavenly Ghost Sect. We also have friends going there now, but the Sacred Palace had sent out two Chosen to guard the mountain. There is nothing we can do!”
Li Qingchan’s beautiful face abruptly changed. Losing her voice, she said, “A spirit subduing mountain?!”
The next moment, she clenched her silver teeth and remarked coldly, “The Sacred Palace is so vicious!”
She immediately turned to the other disciples and ordered, “Pass on the message to other Chosen and inform them to immediately rush to where Yaoyao is trapped!”
At this moment, Chu Qing, Kong Sheng and Tuntun were all fighting over treasure locations outside.
The disciples of the Cangxuan Sect dared not delay any further and hurriedly took out some communication copper mirrors. They instilled Genesis Qi into them and quickly passed on the message.
But very soon they received a reply that made their expressions change abruptly.
“Senior sister Li, all the Chosen have replied that they have suddenly been attacked by Sacred Palace disciples and cannot free themselves at the moment!
“In addition, we found that there is a change in movement on the Heavenly Ghost Sect’s side, as if they intend to turn towards the range of our Cangxuan Sect!”
Li Qingchan’s eyes narrowed.
The Heavenly Ghost Sect had cooperated with the Sacred Palace in this attack. From the signs, it seemed that the two sides had joined forces. Did they plan to attack the Cangxuan Sect?
The Sacred Palace suffered a loss not long ago, so she did not expect them to launch such a quick and fierce retaliation.
That Jiang Taishen was indeed not someone that could be easily dealt with.
“Senior sister Li, when I came here, senior sister Gong Wan of the Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace said that our Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace will handle the Heavenly Ghost Sect, so you do not need to care about them,” Luluo said suddenly.
Li Qingchan’s expression eased a little. “Please give my thanks to Gong Wan.”
The Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace’s help did not particularly surprise her because the Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace and the Heavenly Ghost Sect were not on good terms. Moreover, some time ago, the Heavenly Ghost Sect had even ambushed Gong Wan.
Since the Sacred Palace and the Heavenly Ghost Sect had joined hands to deal with the Cangxuan Sect, Gong Wan of the Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace would certainly not stand and watch. If the Cangxuan Sect was removed, it would be incredibly disadvantageous to the Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace.
“What about Yaoyao? Where's Zhou Yuan?” Luluo asked.
“Zhou Yuan is still cultivating in seclusion, and even if he is around, he can’t go. There are two Chosen standing guard there, he wouldn’t be of any help even if he did go,” Li Qingchan said.
“Then what—” Luluo was so anxious that she stamped her feet.
From the news they had received, the Spirit Subduing Mountain was extremely dangerous, and there was toxic qi everywhere. Yaoyao could be in danger.
They all knew that Yaoyao had incredibly weak Genesis Qi, and with her Spirit suppressed, how could she withstand the toxic qi?
Li Qingchan’s beautiful eyes flashed. “I'll go!”
She originally needed to stand guard at the headquarters, but the situation was critical, and she was the only one who could go.
Luluo also breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. Li Qingchan possessed outstanding strength, and if she were to go, then even two Chosen from the Sacred Palace wouldn’t be able to stop her.
Li Qingchan made a swift and decisive reaction and immediately ordered multiple disciples to strictly guard the headquarters. She then soared skywards, stepping on Genesis Qi, and raced in the direction of where Yaoyao was trapped.
Swoosh!
However, just as Li Qingchan darted out, blood red Genesis Qi roared out from a mountaintop. Like a river of blood, it ruthlessly struck Li Qingchan with an intense fiendish aura.
The sudden attack caused Li Qingchan’s beautiful face to change abruptly. She could feel the person’s incredible strength, and she did not dare to be careless. With a flick of her fingers, there were suddenly countless gusts of incomparably strong Genesis Qi wind roaring out, clashing with the blood red torrent of Genesis Qi.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
The violent Genesis Qi raged in the sky, and after a few moments, the qi waned and stopped.
Li Qingchan stood tall, looking at a mountain in the distance with an icy stare, only to see that there was a woman in a black dress on an ancient tree. She was sitting and leaning back, smiling at Li Qingchan.
“Li Qingchan, what is the hurry?” She smiled, peering at Li Qingchan with her scarlet eyes.
Li Qingchan looked back at her, her beautiful eyes filled with a chilling coldness. “Zhan Taiqing!”
That black-dressed woman was the Sacred Palace’s Zhan Taiqing!
“It looks like your Sacred Palace has been plotting against my Cangxuan Sect for a while!” Li Qingchan said coldly. The reason Zhan Taiqing appeared here in advance proved that she was ready to stop her.
Zhan Taiqing stretched and yawned, revealing her beautiful curves. Resting her pretty hand on her cheek, she smiled and said, “Your Cangxuan Sect made my Sacred Palace suffer, do you really think that my Sacred Palace is going to swallow humiliation and do nothing?
“Today, not a single person of your Cangxuan Sect can go...
“And that Zhou Xiaoyao, I'm going to make you all watch her...die.”
When the last word was uttered, Zhan Taiqing's eyes became icy-cold and cruel.
Li Qingchang clenched her teeth, staring coldly at Zhan Taiqing, while astonishing Genesis Qi began to rise from her delicate body. There was no point in saying anything more. No matter what, she had to break through Zhan Taiqing's obstruction!
But she also knew i
t would be extremely difficult. After all, Zhan Taiqing was ranked higher than her on the Shengzhou Continent’s Chosen List.
But no matter how difficult it was, Li Qingchan still had to try.
Zhan Taiqing’s red lips tilted into a smile. “Li Qingchang, you are going to fight me? Haha, have you forgotten that I have defeated you before?”
Boom!
Just as Zhan Taiqing's voice fell, a beam of golden Genesis Qi shot up from the mountain behind the Cangxuan Sect’s headquarters, and in that light pillar was a roaring, giant golden dragon.
A golden light burst out from the pillar and streaked across the horizon, and a low-pitched voice thick with killing intent rang out, “Senior sister Qingchan, you deal with her. I will go find Yaoyao.”
Li Qingchan stared at the golden shadow that burst forth, shocked for a moment.
“Zhou Yuan? Don't go! There are two Chosen guarding the location—”
But before her voice had fallen, the beam of golden light had already disappeared into the edge of the sky. Li Qingchan couldn’t help but stamp her feet in frustration.
“Absolute nonsense!”
Chapter 633 Friends
Outside the Spirit Subduing Mountain.
In a hidden mountain forest, there were several figures gathered. Their eyes were solemn and blazing as they stared at the Spirit Subduing Mountain in the distance.
At this time, there was dark green toxic qi rising and spreading around the Spirit Subduing Mountain. Even from a distance away, the aura could still be felt.
“It's been half a day, could something have happened to Yaoyao?!” In the center of the several shadows was a beautiful figure whose face was crossed with worry.
It was Zuoqiu Qingyu.
Beside her were Blind Sword Li Chunjun and Ning Zhan, whose brows were also knitted in a tight frown.
“Is Luluo not back yet?” Ning Zhan asked.
Zuoqiu Qingyu shook her head. The reason they had gathered here was because they had received a message from within the Heavenly Ghost Sect. They knew that the source of the information should be Zhen Xu.
Recently the Heavenly Ghost Sect and the Sacred Palace were acting very close. Since Yaoyao was trapped in an area close to the Heavenly Ghost Sect, it most likely involved the Heavenly Ghost Sect.
Therefore, Zhen Xu did not appear, but he still secretly passed the information to Zuoqiu Qingyu, Li Chunjun and the others.
Zuoqiu Qingyu and the others both understood Zhen Xu’s reason for acting this way. Given his status in the Heavenly Ghost Sect, there weren’t many things he could change. Moreover, given the circumstances, he still took a risk to pass them a message, which, given his cold and detached personality, was already a sign that he valued his friendship with Zhou Yuan.
“Wait another half an hour.”
After a period of silence, Li Chunjun said, “If nobody from the Cangxuan Sect comes to the rescue, then we will prepare to break into the mountain.”
Zuoqiu Qingyu exclaimed in shock, “Are you crazy? There are two Sacred Palace Chosen standing guard!”
“So what?” Li Chunjun stroked the heavy black sword on his back, grinning. “I have cultivated a sword qi in the Sword Seeker Sect for a period of time and want to try it against a Chosen.”
“The Accumulation Sword technique of your Sword Seeker Sect mustn’t be used recklessly! Otherwise all your efforts will go to waste!” Zuoqiu Qingyu reminded him in a serious voice.
Li Chunjun smiled and did not answer, but his curved lips were a sign of his unwavering determination.
Ning Zhan sighed, slowly pulling up his sleeve to reveal a sinister-looking black serpent pattern on his arm. It exuded a terrifying and ferocious qi.
“Since Blind Sword is trying so hard, I must also do the same,” Ning Zhan said.
“My master has sealed the soul of a black serpent spirit into my arm and asked me to gradually control its vicious nature so that I will be able to use it one day. But it seems I might need to unseal it earlier than I imagined.”
If it was unsealed early, however, even he might not be able to withstand its power. Furthermore, even if he could, once the black serpent spirit was released, it would inevitably flee and he would not be able to recapture it since he lacked the strength to do so. This time there were no sect elders nearby to aid him.
When he returned to the North Sea Dragon Subduing Hall, it would no doubt be difficult to explain his actions.
Li Chunjun darted his eyes that were wrapped in black cloth over to Ning Zhan and asked with a smile, “No regrets?”
Ning Zhan shrugged and grinned. “Who would I be afraid of?”
Seeing this, Zuoqiu Qingyu let out a sigh. How could she not know that both Li Chunjun and Ning Zhan had trump cards? Even so, their odds of beating a Chosen weren’t high. They were also evidently aware of this, yet they were still choosing to take action. This warmed Zuoqiu Qingyu’s heart a bit. The friends from the Cangmang Continent did not become cold and detached with one another as a result of separating into different sects.
“While you are distracting them, I'll sneak into the Spirit Subduing Mountain to see if I can get Yaoyao out,” Zuoqiu Qingyu said.
Li Chunjun nodded, turned to Ning Zhan and asked, “Ready?”
Clasping the scarlet-and-gold stick on his back, Ning Zhan’s eyes blazed with intense battle intent.
“Let's do it!” he said.
They all knew that once they acted they couldn’t turn back.
But at this very moment, they had no other choice to do otherwise.
All three drew a deep breath, and the next moment, activated their Genesis Qi.
Swoosh!
But instantly, an ear-piercing sonic boom suddenly resounded throughout the heavens and the earth. Zuoqiu Qingyu and the other two raised their heads in puzzlement and saw that in the distance a beam of golden flowing light was speeding over. The beam then hovered above the Spirit Subduing Mountain.
“The people of Cangxuan Sect have arrived?” Zuoqiu Qingyu exclaimed.
“Only one person came? I wonder which Chosen of the Cangxuan Sect was sent here. The Sacred Palace has two Chosen guarding the mountain,” Li Chunjun said.
Under their gazes, the golden stream of Genesis Qi light dispersed from the sky, revealing a slender figure standing in the air.
And when their eyes fell on the face of that figure, all were filled with shock. Losing their voice, they exclaimed, “Zhou Yuan?!”
Because the young figure standing tall in the air was Zhou Yuan, who came at the fastest speed possible!
“Is he alone?” Zuoqiu Qingyu’s expression changed. “This guy is too impulsive. Although he has previously defeated a Chosen from the Sacred Palace, the two Chosen guarding the mountain are both ranked higher than that Chai Ying! And there’s two of them!”
They did not expect that only Zhou Yuan would come.
Li Chunjun's eyebrows were also slightly scrunched together, but he quickly said, “It’s good he came, he can ease a lot of our pressure. I can join forces with Ning Zhan to temporarily obstruct the other Chosen.”
Zhou Yuan cast a glance in the direction of Zuoqiu Qingyu, Li Chunjun and the others. A smile came over his face, and at the same time, his voice was transmitted over using Genesis Qi.
“You are the disciples of other sects. You don't have to help, it may bring you trouble.”
Li Chunjun and Ning Zhan were after all people of the Sword Seeker Sect and the North Sea Dragon Subduing Hall. These two great sects had always maintained neutrality and would not be willing to get involved in the matters between the Cangxuan Sect and the Sacred Palace.
And if Li Chunjun and Ning Zhan were to intervene, their action would inevitably lead to disapproval.
“Leave it to me now, and thank you,” Zhou Yuan’s soft voice passed into the ears of Zuoqiu Qingyu and the others.
The fact that they had appeared here already made him incredibly touched.
Li Chunjun and Ning Zhan exchange
d a glance and asked in bewilderment, “Is he planning to take on two Chosen by himself?”
Zuoqiu Qingyu answered with hesitation, “It seems so.”
“He hasn’t lost his mind because of anger, has he?” Ning Zhan scratched his head.
Zuoqiu Qingyu was taken aback for a moment, but she knew that it was not impossible. Although Zhou Yuan was usually calm and composed, the Sacred Palace had set a trap for Yaoyao, which was undoubtedly considered as touching Zhou Yuan's reverse scale.
“Let’s watch the situation. If Zhou Yuan can’t defeat the enemies, we will help,” Li Chunjun said.
The other two also nodded gently.
High in the sky, after urging the three people not to act, Zhou Yuan directed his gaze to the peak of the Spirit Subduing Mountain, his eyes gradually growing cold. It was there that two figures were standing with hands clasped behind their backs, staring at him mockingly.
“I was wondering who the Cangxuan Sect would send out, but it turns out to be an ignorant boy.” Tie Mo of the Sacred Palace gave a sinister laugh.
Lei Jun also revealed a faint smile. “It seems that Cai Ying’s defeat has made you arrogant. You do know that both of us are ranked higher than Chai Ying, right?”
Both spoke indifferently, and they evidently saw Zhou Yuan as an easy opponent.
Zhou Yuan’s face was devoid of expression. He studied the Spirit Subduing Mountain filled with toxic qi for a moment, and with the clench of his fist, the Heaven Yuan Brush appeared in his hand and rapidly expanded.
As boundless killing intent surged, Zhou Yuan’s voice slowly rang out:
“I'm not interested in knowing your rank. All I know is that from today onward, your Sacred Palace will have two unoccupied Chosen positions.”
Chapter 634 One Against Two
Outside the mountain where the Cangxuan Sect’s main base was located.
Zhan Taiqing lifted her scarlet-red eyes to gaze in the direction Zhou Yuan had left. An amused smile rose from the corners of her little red lips before she grinned at Li Qingchan and said, “This chief disciple of your Cangxuan Sect truly has swag.”
