Dragon Prince Yuan

Chapter 1388 Must Die



Chapter 1388 Must Die

When palace master Sheng Yuan’s cultivation double finally vanished, the crowd on the city walls deeply sighed in relief before suddenly realizing they were drenched in sweat.

Even Chi Jing, Wu Yao, Su Youwei, Zhao Mushen and the others had grave expressions and wariness in their eyes. The pressure from palace master Sheng Yuan was much greater than the Sacred Race’s Tia Xuan.

This was only normal. No matter how strong Tai Xuan was, he was still within the realm of the Law Domain stage, while though palace master Sheng Yuan was only a half-Saint, he had already come into contact with the Saint realm...

The two were completely different in a sense.

Shen Taiyuan rubbed his chest, trying to calm his panic. Palace master Sheng Yuan was far too infamous in Cangxuan Heaven, and let alone a pseudo Law Domain expert like him, even the other four great sect leaders would be full of wariness and even fear if they came to face palace master Sheng Yuan.

He looked towards Zhou Yuan and sighed. “You’re a little too ballsy.”

Zhou Yuan had shown no fear in the face of palace master Sheng Yuan, and had even destroyed the other party’s cultivation double. Such courage was truly shocking.

However, Shen Taiyuan also understood that if there was anyone in Cangxuan Heaven who could at least pose a threat to palace master Sheng Yuan, it would be Zhou Yuan.

This made Shen Taiyuan sigh with feeling. The newborn calf from back then had already become a dragon. He could already envision how Zhou Yuan’s name would soon shake the entire Cangxuan Heaven.

“That was merely a cultivation double, there’s nothing to be afraid of.” Zhou Yuan chuckled.

Shen Taiyuan felt a little helpless. “Only you can say such a thing.”

Zhou Yuan stared at the spot that palace master Sheng Yuan’s cultivation double had disappeared and asked, “Has Sheng Yuan’s true body personally taken action for the past few years?”

Shen Taiyuan pondered for a while before he answered, “He should have when the Heavenly Ghost Sect was destroyed. Otherwise, a faction as big as the Heavenly Ghost Sect could not have been wiped out in a single night.

“Besides that one time, he does not seem to have ever appeared in his true body. Otherwise, our situation would be much worse.”

A thoughtful look arose on Zhou Yuan’s face. “Is it because he has yet to fully recover? Although he only appeared as a cultivation double earlier, the strength he displayed was definitely stronger than back then...or perhaps, he did not appear for many years because he has a more important goal?”

Zhou Yuan’s eyes flickered faintly in thought. If there was something more important to Sheng Yuan, it would definitely be to take that final step and become a true Saint expert.

“Peak master, what’s the situation with the Cangxuan Saint Stamp fragments?” asked Zhou Yuan.

“The fighting hasn’t stopped ever since you shattered the Cangxuan Saint Stamp. In the earlier years, the six great sects fought as independent entities, which made it the most chaotic period.”

Shen Taiyuan gravely said, “But the Sacred Palace gradually began to take the lead as their strength rapidly grew. Even without palace master Sheng Yuan, they were still capable of threatening the other five great sects. Hence, the five great sects were subsequently forced into an alliance, allowing them to slowly stabilize the balance of power. However, the share of fragments obtained by the Sacred Palace over the years should still exceed 60%.”

“More than 60%...” Zhou Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly. This figure was clear evidence of the Sacred Palace’s superior might.

“It’s all because of the Divine Blood Altar that suddenly appeared which palace master Sheng Yuan used it to create the Sacred Demon Army that has basically been unstoppable in their march across Cangxuan Heaven.” Shen Taiyuan smiled bitterly.

“The Divine Blood Altar should be the Sacred Race’s work.” Zhou Yuan slowly said. Otherwise, a half-Saint like Sheng Yuan could not possibly have crafted such an amazing treasure.

“Sheng Yuan truly is the scum of Cangxuan Heaven!” Shen Taiyuan was clearly angered. The all-heavens and the Sacred Race were mortal enemies with deep-seated hatred between them. However, Sheng Yuan willingly chose to be the Sacred Race’s dog, a decision that made others truly despise him.

However, Shen Taiyuan also understood that being angry won’t change anything. He turned around and looked towards Zhou Yuan. “However, the situation will be different now that you’ve come with such strong reinforcements.”

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.”
