âWhere do you think you are going?!â Chu Zhengyan had his eyes on them from the start, and he rushed over to them immediately after he lost Yan Wugui.
He waved his sleeve and a golden coloured disk appeared in his hands. Chu Zhengyan threw it over towards them, and the disk turned into countless knives, chasing after Jiang Yuan.
âDonât stop!â Lu Mingshu yelled.
Jiang Yuan continued to dash towards the heaven core without looking back.
~Her badge would surely turn into pieces if any of my golden knives hits it, yet sheâs betting it all on her?~
Chu Zhengyan eyes widened in shock.
But the next second, Lu Mingshuâs sword light had already turned into a long ray of light, blocking his golden knives.
âDing, ding ding dingâŠ.â the knives fell to the floor.
Chu Zhengyan narrowed his eyes and prepared to launch another attack. However, Yan Wugui was already behind him.
Yan Wugui held knives in both hands and was furiously slashing in the air, aiming for his badge
Chu Zhengyanâs legs moved and he turned away to defend.
~If I let him continue, my badge will be chopped into pieces!~
Even though Chu Zhengyan was unwilling to give up this precious chance to take Jiang Yuan down, he had no choice but to leap into mid-air and defend against Yan Wuguiâs attacks.
Within a split-second, Lu Mingshu had already run past him.
âTo the right!â She shouted and dashed towards the participants who were on Jiang Yuanâs right.
Jiang Yuan calmly threw icicles around and successfully broke out of the blockade.
âTen âclock, twenty feet.â
There were already three participants on that stone pillar waiting to block her, yet Jiang Yuan jumped onto it without the slightest hesitation.
She waved her hands and icicles turned into small ice needles and shot down towards their heads.
Two of them had no choice but to defend themselves from her attack, while another one seized the chance to mix his blood with his sword light, and went for Jiang Yuan.
Seeing that Jiang Yuan could no longer escape, Lu Mingshu managed to get out from her siege suddenly and her sword light immediately went for the other partyâs sword light like a dragonâs roar.
The bloody sword light and her sword light collided and both dispersed.
âTwelve oâclock, ten feet.â Lu Mingshu yelled. âGet ready for the cloudâs attack, thereâs nobody to help you this time around.â
Jiang Yuan gritted her teeth and landed on another stone pillar.
âElder brother,â Not far away from them, Qin Junâs younger brother called out to him. âWhatâs wrong with Jiang Yuan? She seems weird.â
âSomeone has plotted against her,â He side-eyed his younger brother and replied monotonously.
Qin Jun had already known it when the king of beasts attacked Jiang Yuan, but what he had never expected was that the other party would even place traps in the sea of clouds.
âShould we help?â
âHow do you want to help her when we are so far behind?â Qin Jun said contemptuously
âElder brother, but you said you wanted to join hands with them just now but yet you are not helping them. What is this alliance for then since the risk weâŠ.â
Qin Jun cut him off and pushed him to the left. âCan you see that guy? Take care of him.â
After sending his younger brother away, Qin Jun shook his head in annoyance âThe Tenth young master is still young, there are a lot of factors that he still hasnât considered yet.â The Qin familyâs servant walked up to him and said
Seeing him, Qin Jun smiled thinly. He had hand picked this helper after all. âXiao Shi doesnât use his brain. If we help Jiang Yuan now, weâd be in trouble too.â He said, his voice softer.
âYoung master is right.â the servant stroked his beard. âI do wonder who Prince Jiang offended though. Not helping him might lead to our previous efforts being wasted, but itâs better than getting into unnecessary trouble.â
âYeah.â Qin Jun stood aside to watch the fight. He was planning to save his energy first and when most people were tired, he would then start his attack.
~It would be great if Jiang Yuan wasnât this unlucky. Moreover, it is always nicer to have a friend who can look out for each other and prevent Fu Yun and Chu Zhengyan beating us. But sadly, Iâd be at a big loss now if I choose to help her.~
âWho could be so powerful to be able to plot against her here?â Qin Jun muttered. âIt is a waste to put in so much just to sabotage one Jiang Yuan.â
âThis may be actually less complicated than what the Young master is thinking.â The servant chuckled.
âOh?â
If Qin Jun valued him, it showed that this servant was very capable. âWhoever is able to do so must have a high position in the aristocratic circle. So he is sure to be an elder. No matter which elder , it is stupid and will cause much trouble if his or her aim was Prince Jiang. So, the motive might not be this clear.â
âYou mean Jiang Yuan is a bait?â Qin Jun understood him immediately.
His servant nodded. âYet the motive is still not clear.â
âIt is Jiang Yuan they are plotting against, so obviously that person is aiming for the Jiangs.â Qin Jun said without thinking.
However, his servant seems to think otherwise. âYoung master, you are wrong. Think about it, why do they need to make such a big fuss if itâs the Jiangs they are aiming for?â
âWhat do you mean?â
âThe same reason.â He laughed. âThere is too much investment, itâs a waste of resources to put so much effort for one Jiang Yuan. If the Jiangs are their goal, he or she is making a really big fuss right now:
Qin Jun ponder for a moment and nodded. âTrue.â
Seeing his young master taking his opinions seriously, Qin Junâs servant canât help but smile happily. âYoung master, letâs not intervene and whatever the other party wants, weâll see when it comes.â
âOkay.â
Even so, Qin Jun couldnât help but look over at Jiang Yuan. âHeâs both lucky and unlucky.â He sighed. âHe has two worthy helpers. The bellâs forest Ji siblings. Are you aware of them?â
The servant shook his head. âYoung master, Iâm afraid their identity is just a mask.â
âHuh? Why is that so?â
âIt is abnormal for such a small aristocratic family located in such an isolated place to be able to produce such outstanding disciples. And their skills are extremely weird. I highly suspect that the Bellâs forest Ji sibling is just a fake identity for a cover up.â
âThatâs true.â Qin Jun nodded. âBut it is still a pity. It would be good if we met them first.â
But his servant disapprove with his idea. âHiring them surely cost Prince Jiang a lot, and not only money. He is taking a risk because thereâs nobody he can trust and she does not have any choice. Would young master be willing to take this risk?â
Qin Jun look at him blankly and burst out laughing. âYeah, thatâs true.â
But even so, Qin Jun still felt pity.
~The both of them are extremely good! If not for them, Jiang Yuan would have been eliminated or even killed during the second round! What a pityâŠ.~
Jiang Yuan landed safely. Her vision was blurred, and sweat was dripping down profusely.
She did not have much soul energy left to begin with and yet she had to face the cloudâs attack all on her own. She used up all her skills and treasures and luckily, she barely managed to survive it.
Jiang Yuan eyes are fixed on the heaven core.
~Fifty feet. Just fifty feet more.~
âWhy the heck are you daydreaming?!â Lu Mingshu yelled at her. âJust go, go quickly! Nothing else is more important!â
Jiang Yuan bit her lip. She ate a pill and gathered her last bit of soul energy and dashed forward at the speed of light.
Fourty, thirty, twentyâŠ.

A blade suddenly appeared in front of her.
It clashed onto the icicle and with a âboomâ the weapons were nowhere to be seen.
Seeing the person right in front of her, her heart dropped and she mumbled. âEven youâre moving to stop me, huh.â
The floating cloud gentleman stared at her, expressionless.
