Chapter 290: Chapter 197: Everyone’s Conspiracy, A Shocking Murder Plot!
Pearl Cave.

Within its perimeter, adjacent to the sea.

Everyone heard Lin Yuqing’s praise for Jiang Yuan.

Zhou Ting pondered a bit. This man had been a stranger to him before but now no longer was.

Because the King of Divine Power had instructed him to recruit Jiang Yuan once he discovered him in Pearl Cave.

This man was exceptionally talented, a rare talent indeed.

As soon as he heard these words from the King of Divine Power, he took a keen interest in Jiang Yuan and subsequently conducted a thorough investigation.

It turned out that his uncle’s praise was not unfounded. Jiang Yuan was indeed a supreme genius.

In the second layer of the Spiritual Sea Realm, he managed to capture Mu Qianru, the Holy Daughter of the Demon Cult.

This was simply unbelievable.

Mu Qianru was a full three realms of cultivation above him, and her Dance of the Heavenly Demon was notorious; no one dared to perceive its full form.

Even he, at his strength at that time, dared not underestimate Mu Qianru.

Yet, the powerful Mu Qianru was defeated by Jiang Yuan. This was simply incredible.

And according to what his uncle had said, Jiang Yuan made repeated breakthroughs in the subsequent months, his cultivation realm rose rapidly, and breaking through realms was as simple as drinking water for him.

This kind of efficiency was staggering.

Just as he was about to speak, Song Que suddenly said indifferently, “Let’s talk about it ten years later. A genius is nothing until he grows up!”

“I’ve seen several geniuses rise like comets, not inferior to me.”

“Unfortunately, some fall midway, some become mediocre, while I step by step, made it to my achievement today!”

His eyes fell on Lin Yuqing, “What you said does make sense, but compared to him, I still think more highly of you ten years from now!”

Lin Yuqing lightly smiled, not saying anything more.

On the sea, Zhou Qiu kept retreating.

Everyone quietly awaited his arrival.

Two times later.

He leapt landward, landing on the shore, and heaved a sigh of relief as he suddenly felt secure.

While walking on the surface of the sea, he was always holding his breath.

If he fell into the sea, even he would inevitably fall.

“Brother, how do you feel?” Zhou Ting came over and asked.

Zhou Qiu shook his head, “No, it’s far from enough! The closer to the center of the sea, the more terrifying the suppression I face.”

“Is there still hope?”

Zhou Qiu pondered for a moment, “Now that I’m only at the fourth layer of Divine Bridge Realm, if I could reach the eighth layer at my age, that might be possible!”

He shook his head again, “That’s too difficult!”

Everyone who heard his words nodded in agreement.

The eighth layer of Divine Bridge Realm!

Lin Yuqing didn’t believe it.

Zhou Qiu must have overstated by one or two layers, delivering false information to them.

According to her calculations, possibly reaching the sixth layer of Divine Bridge Realm could do it.

In this view, Jiang Yuan could almost certainly enter the Dragon Palace ten years from now.

At this thought, she sighed slightly.

If I can infer this, so can the others.

Would they willingly give up anything in the Dragon Palace that could be related to that Saint of the human race?

She shook her head slightly. Unlikely!

She was well aware of the attitude of most cultivators.

Suddenly.

Zhou Qiu’s gaze turned towards the deep forest.

“Someone is coming!”

Lin Yuqing also looked into the deep forest. She had sensed the approach of two people as well.

“Who could it be?” She murmured to herself.

Song Que and Zhou Ting looked at Zhou Qiu in surprise.

Even now, they detected no approach of any person or creature.

It was then that they realized the gap between them and Zhou Qiu.

On the other side.

The white-haired man stared into the deep forest.

“Two auras have appeared. Who could it be?”

“Could it be Brother Wu and Ao Feng?”

The female yaksha spoke up slowly, “No, there’s a young girl’s aura too.”

“A young girl?” The white-haired man was taken aback.

From the forest, Jiang Yuan and Shu Xiaoxiao were flying through the air, getting closer.

Compared to his use of the Earth Escape technique, his speed was much slower now.

Earlier, once he detected the seven people by the sea, he had abandoned the Technique of Earth Escape.

He had chosen this leisurely approach instead.

As Jiang Yuan and Shu Xiaoxiao approached.

The four humans and three demons all looked towards the depths of the forest.

Each of them was curious, wondering who could possibly have made it here.

They knew that only those who had achieved the Divine Bridge Realm or transformed from great demons, were qualified to come to this place.

Suddenly, two such powerful beings appeared, naturally stirring their curiosity.

A moment later.

Jiang Yuan and Shu Xiaoxiao emerged from the forest, appearing in their field of vision.

“It’s him!” Lin Yuqing looked surprised, “Incredible.”

“It’s him!” Zhou Ting’s eyes narrowed, his tone filled with astonishment.

“Who is he?” Zhou Qiu voiced his doubt.

Song Que also looked puzzled, “Who is he? I don’t recognize him. Could he be a genius from a subsidiary power?”

“No!”

Lin Yuqing shook her head slightly, “Not many people are coming from the subsidiary powers this time, and not a single one who achieved the Divine Bridge Realm is allowed to come, so how could two Divine Bridge Realm masters suddenly appear.”

“Both of them are geniuses from our Qianyuan Kingdom. It’s normal for you not to recognize them.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qiu became curious.

“Who are they then? They look so young. Although I can’t tell their bone age, this youthful air is not something they can fake.”

“Especially the young girl, she has an air of innocence.”

“Could it be the Jiang Yuan you just mentioned?”

He immediately shook his head, “No, it’s possible for Jiang Yuan to achieve the Divine Bridge Realm! After all, his previous realm was unknown.”
