Chapter 1338 Defense
The result brought by Su Youwei's clear and sweet voice was that the racket in the battle zone subsided and every person stared bewildered at her.
“Golden armor Yuan Quan?!” Someone finally snapped out of the shock and couldn’t help exclaiming, “You mean golden armor Yuan Quan who is at the third Law Domain stage?!”
Su Youwei nodded slightly.
Hua.
Many battle zone leaders’ expressions immediately changed. After all, golden armor Yuan Quan wasn’t a nobody. He was a true third Law Domain stage expert and from the information that prime sovereign Jin Luo provided, he was ranked in the top ten among the battle zone leaders!
There likely wouldn’t be more than five battle zone leaders unafraid of such a powerful enemy.
However, Su Youwei said that Zhou Yuan had killed a top expert ranked in the top ten of the Sacred Race Law Domain stage?!
Even Chi Jing stared dumbfounded at Zhou Yuan. Although she never underestimated her junior brother, she had never thought he could kill an enemy of that level.
Xu Beiyan's expression also slightly changed. He stared at Zhou Yuan with narrowed eyes and a scrutinizing gaze. How could that guy do that?
“Little girl, don’t talk nonsense…golden armor Yuan Quan is at the third Law Domain stage. How would his team lose to your…team?” The battle zone leader who helped out Xu Beiyan questioned Su Youwei.
However, his words drew mocking gazes from the surrounding battle zone leaders.
“Zhao Jia, the all-heavens saints are watching the Stone Dragon Secret Domain at all times. No one would be stupid enough to tell such a lie, right?” A battle zone leader said irritatedly.
Zhao Jia’s face reddened with embarrassment and he resentfully withdrew his gaze.
Many battle zone leaders’ faces grew respectful when they looked at Zhou Yuan again. Although they previously objected to Zhou Yuan becoming a battle zone leader, Zhou Yuan's achievements had completely convinced them.
Zhou Yuan told them with facts that he i#was qualified to be a battle zone leader.
Although he didn’t know how Zhou Yuan could defeat Yuan Quan, the process wasn’t important because Yuan Quan's death was still good news to them since it would reduce their pressure in the dragon head battle zone.
Xu Beiyan coughed quietly and said with a smile, “Grand elder Zhou Yuan has surprised us all. It seems that the goddess’s guidance can indeed save one a lot of trouble.”
Some battle zone leaders’ expressions altered subtly. He implied Zhou Yuan was only able to kill Yuan Quan because the goddess gave him some trump cards and Zhou Yuan didn’t win with his own ability. It was very likely that the goddess gave Zhou Yuan some life-protecting trump cards given her relationship with Zhou Yuan.
After Xu Beiyan said those words, he smiled and changed the topic. “Almost everyone is here now. We should talk about proper business.”
The atmosphere stilled and many gazes turned solemn and then shifted to Xu Beiyan.
“According to the all-heavens Saints, the battle in the dragon head battle zone is extremely important and will even determine the final outcome between the two sides. To stabilize the battlefront, we must build a defense boundary, which will act as a protective barrier. If there are any changes, the defense boundary will buy us preparation time,” said Xu Beiyan indifferently.
“You can receive information signals about the defense boundary from the jade stone in your hands. Tomorrow, we will start setting up a boundary of three thousand li from here. Once the defense is set up, we will head deeper into the dragon head battle zone. Then, we will truly clash with the Sacred Race.”
The various battle zone leaders gravely nodded because they knew that even they would have the danger of losing their lives on the bloody battlefield.
Xu Beiyan lifted his gaze and said, “There is one more thing. Someone needs to be the main controller of the boundary. I will put myself forward for that position…”
"I recommend grand elder Chi Jing to be in charge of the boundary.” A voice interrupted him.
Xu Beiyan narrowed his eyes, staring at Zhou Yuan who was looking at him with a smile.
Xu Beiyan gave a slight smile and said helplessly, “Grand elder Zhou Yuan, although there has been a little conflict between us, the matter we are discussing is related to all-heavens. Can you not create trouble here?”
Zhou Yuan wrinkled his brows. “I heard that this power shouldn't directly be assigned to you? In that case, other people can of course recommend who they think are better. I just think senior sister Chi Jing is more suitable for that position than you.”
“In which area is she better than me?”
Zhou Yuan said with a smile, “At least senior sister Chi Jing will not be petty and will always be fair. I think I’m not the only one who would feel a greater sense of security if she is in charge of the defense.”
Xu Beiyan's eyes twitched and anger rose to his head, but he forcibly suppressed it and said calmly. “Since there’s a disagreement, everyone, we will leave the decision to you.
“If you feel that grand elder Chi Jing is more suitable, you can stand on her side.”
The battle zone leaders began to murmur and each wore contemplative expressions. After a while, someone stepped over to Chi Jing's side.
However, there were more people supporting Xu Beiyan.
Zhou Yuan wasn’t surprised by the result. Although Xu Beiyan was a hypocrite, his strength was unquestionable. Moreover, given the fact that he had occupied three battle zones, it was logical that many people chose him.
Xu Beiyan expressionlessly watched the scene. Although more people chose him, he wasn’t happy, but angry.
This was because it showed that not everyone had confidence in him.
This was unacceptable to Xu Beiyan, who always felt that he was perfect.
Xu Beiyan drew a deep breath, looked at Zhou Yuan and said indifferently, “Do you have any other things to say?”
Zhou Yuan waved his hand with a smile.
Xu Beiyan said indifferently, “Since everyone has made a decision, everyone should go and prepare. We will set up the defense tomorrow.”
The many battle zone leaders dispersed.
Xu Beiyan cast a glance at Zhou Yuan, slowly stepped closer to him and whispered, “Grand elder Zhou Yuan, the dragon head battle zone is dangerous. Not even the goddess can protect you there. You should be careful.”
Zhou Yuan shot a glance at him. “The attack on Su Youwei, was it your doing?”
Xu Beiyan seemed taken aback and then he puzzledly shook his head. “I don't know what you’re talking about.”
But there was an undisguised cold smiling expression in his eyes as he looked at Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan nodded. “You also have to be careful. Many people will lose their lives in the dragon head battle zone. Even third Law Domain stage experts could be buried there.”
He didn’t want to waste time talking nonsense with him anymore and strode away.
Xu Beiyan curled his lips as he watched Zhou Yuan’s departing figure, but his eyes were icy-cold and he muttered to himself, “Is this a threat from the weak? So ridiculous.”
