In the eyes of the martial artists from various continents, it was impossible for Mr. Zhong to agree to take the people from the Heavenly Origin Continent with him.
This Fla Land, even for Mr. Zhong, was a perilous place. How could Mr. Zhong agree to carry a dozen burdens and risk his life?
Not to ntion the martial artists from continents like Tianhui Continent, even Yi Xiang and others from the Heavenly Origin Continent did not think Mr. Zhong would agree to Jing Yan’s request.
"Fellow Daoist Jing Yan, why be so polite? It’s to my advantage to travel with you through the Fla Land." Before Jing Yan’s words had even finished, Mr. Zhong spoke with a laugh.
Others did not know how strong Jing Yan was, but Mr. Zhong had personally witnessed Jing Yan killing top-tier half-step Void God Yin Shui. Mr. Zhong believed that even Jing Yan alone could take a dozen martial artists from the Heavenly Origin Continent through the Fla Land.
So his words were not flattery at all but rely a statent of fact.
However, this was not how others perceived his words.
Mr. Zhong’s words left Ouyang Lin and others sowhat astonished. When had Mr. Zhong beco so agreeable? Among these people, so had interacted with Mr. Zhong. Although Mr. Zhong would help people, he always charged a fee. They had never heard of him helping natives or Divine Clan mbers from the God Realm without cause.
What was up with Mr. Zhong today?
What was the relationship between Jing Yan and Mr. Zhong? Mr. Zhong’s attitude toward Jing Yan was baffling. On the surface, Mr. Zhong seed very respectful toward Jing Yan, but no one could fathom why. Given Mr. Zhong’s status, why would he be so flattering to a young martial artist from the Heavenly Origin Continent?
Everyone looked at Mr. Zhong and Jing Yan in astonishnt.
Those who originally thought Mr. Zhong would refuse Jing Yan’s request all looked a bit surprised. Of course, the martial artists from the Heavenly Origin Continent were excited. If they could travel with Mr. Zhong, their chances of survival would significantly increase.
"Brother Yi Xiang, we are ready to depart." Jing Yan looked at Yi Xiang and said.
But Yi Xiang hesitated a bit.
He looked at the dozen or so martial artists from the Heavenly Origin Continent around him, then looked at Jing Yan and Mr. Zhong.
After a slight silence, Yi Xiang eventually spoke, "Young friend Jing Yan, Mr. Zhong."
"We appreciate your kindness. However, wouldn’t taking us along bring you danger? You two have a good chance of making it through the Fla Land, but taking us along might be a burden..."
Yi Xiang was worried about implicating Jing Yan and Mr. Zhong.
Hearing Yi Xiang’s words, Jing Yan felt a wave of warmth in his heart. Just for Yi Xiang’s words, Jing Yan felt it was worth it to help them.
"Daoist Yi Xiang, you’re overthinking this. Fellow Daoist Jing Yan’s strength is beyond your imagination. You must think that it’s my ability that brought us this far, but you’re wrong. It’s actually who benefited from his presence." Before Jing Yan could speak, Mr. Zhong laughed and said.
"Ah?"
Yi Xiang and the others were dumbfounded.
Mr. Zhong’s words left them in disbelief.
How strong was Jing Yan?
In their eyes, Jing Yan was at most at the Dao Emperor Realm. Could such a young Saint Realm martial artist erge from the current Heavenly Origin Continent? Even if Jing Yan were at the Saint Realm, what difference would it make? They were all at the Saint Realm, many even at the Saint Realm Third Stage!
"Alright, alright, no more delays. Let’s go!" Jing Yan waved his hand.
"Fellow Daoists, please open the defense energy shield, we are leaving. Haha, now with fewer people to protect, our fellow Daoists can relax a bit." Mr. Zhong said to Ouyang Lin and others.
Ouyang Lin and the others exchanged glances.
But this hesitation only lasted a short while. In a flash, Ouyang Lin sneered, waved his hand, and split the energy shield open. He wanted to see how Mr. Zhong would get a dozen burdens through this perilous Fla Land.
"Let’s go!" Mr. Zhong stepped forward, with a water-blue light curtain quickly spreading around him.
Jing Yan also moved forward.
Yi Xiang and the others frowned slightly, but the dozen or so people finally started moving, successively entering Mr. Zhong’s water-blue energy shield.
"Everyone, we will go ahead!" Mr. Zhong cupped his hands toward Ouyang Lin and the others beyond the grand light curtain.
The people inside the water-blue small light curtain moved quickly forward.
"Hmph, I want to see how he gets those dozen burdens through the Fla Land. This mysterious Mr. Zhong, just how many thods does he have!" Ouyang Lin stared at the small moving light curtain, speaking coldly.
"They are still fellow martial artists from the natives camp; let’s wish them success in passing through the Fla Land." Another half-step Void God martial artist sighed and shook his head.
"Let’s also keep moving! Now that the martial artists from the Heavenly Origin Continent are gone, we can reduce our defense range a bit." Xiao Qian said with a narrow-eyed look.
...
The small water-blue light curtain moved at an astonishing speed.
The people inside, including Yi Xiang, just kept moving forward.
They saw so Destruction Fires crashing into the small light curtain, but the light curtain just flickered lightly, blocking off the Destruction Fires. Streams of the power of laws flowed, quickly neutralizing the power of the Destruction Fires.
"This..."
"This is too incredible!"
"What kind of holy artifact is this? Could it be a divine artifact?"
"The power of the Destruction Fires doesn’t seem to affect this artifact much." The shock in Yi Xiang and the others’ hearts was beyond description.
"Haha, this is just a holy artifact. As for how it seems to easily block the Destruction Fires, that’s all thanks to Fellow Daoist Jing Yan’s ability. Didn’t you notice that he’s been infusing primordial energy all this ti?" Mr. Zhong said with a laugh upon hearing their whispered discussions.
"Ah?"
"What?"
"Young friend Jing Yan..." Yi Xiang and the others looked at Jing Yan.
What perplexed them was that Jing Yan didn’t seem to be struggling much. Jing Yan was indeed channeling primordial energy, but it seed quite effortless. Of course, Mr. Zhong was equally at ease, only occasionally releasing energy into the holy artifact.
"Do you know Yin Shui?" Mr. Zhong saw their expressions and added another sentence.
"Yin Shui? The top half-step Void God from the Divine Clan?"
"Of course we know him. We’ve seen him at the Sky Sacred Hall. Yin Shui is an extrely arrogant mber of the Divine Clan.
"Speaking of him, there’s sothing odd. This ti, nearly all natives and Divine Clan mbers from the Sky Sacred Hall showed up, but Yin Shui seed to have disappeared." Yi Xiang and the others began to speak one after another.
