Yang Xuan's defeat marked the appearance of an insane reversal in the battle for the essence flame vein.

　　The disciples dispatched by the Sacred Palace and the Cangxuan Sect were roughly of equal strength, an equilibrium which was subsequently broken by the abnormality that was Yang Xuan. However, no one would have imagined that he was not the only irregular...

　　The one who had been overlooked by everyone since the very beginning, Zhou Yuan, was in actuality and even bigger irregularity.

　　As such, Yang Xuan was defeated and Bai Li, Qin Hai and the other Cangxuan Sect disciples led by Zhou Yuan easily crushed the other Sacred Palace disciples, causing their morale to hit rock bottom as they retreated again and again.

　　All of the territory that had been s.n.a.t.c.hed away previously was taken back by Zhou Yuan and gang one by one.

　　In the end, an area that spanned a whole eight hundred miles became the battle spoils of the Cangxuan Sect, while the retreating Sacred Palace disciples were left with only three hundred miles of the less rich veins.

　　This could be said to be a crus.h.i.+ng defeat.

　　Two Sacred Palace Chosens, w.a.n.g Chi and Cao Jinzhu, were practically spitting fire from their eyes when they saw this scene, their faces ashen as they did battle with Li Qingchan and Zhao Zhu.

　　The fight between the Chosens was even fiercer and grander than Zhou Yuan and Yang Xuan's. Torrent after torrent of Genesis Qi blasted through air like raging dragons, causing the land to tremble faintly.

　　However, such a fight was bound to have no outcome, because neither side was willing to risk their lives and the difference in strength between them was not big. Hence, the duel ultimately ended in a stalemate.

　　Even so, anyone could see that the Sacred Palace had made a huge miscalculation in the fight for the essence flame vein.

　　Far away in the sky, the Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace Chosen, Feng Ying, and the North Sea Dragon Subduing Hall Chosen watched as territory after territory was enveloped by a glowing barrier, before looking to each other, seeing the astonishment in the other party's eyes.

　　The development of the situation was likewise exceeded their expectations.

　　"Zhou Yuan is quite an interesting one…" Mumbled Feng Ying to herself. She had honestly believed him to be a new disciple that was here for experience since the beginning, and only remembered him because of his friends.h.i.+p with Zuoqiu Qingyu.

　　How could she have possibly predicted that the individual, who had zero presence in the Cangxuan Sect team, would ultimately single handedly turn around the entire situation.

　　Such strength and charisma would make anyone sigh in amazement.

　　"It seems that that the Cangmang Continent has produced several amazing individuals this generation." Feng Ying sighed. Without mentioning Zhou Yuan, even Zuoqiu Qingyu and Luluo had displayed extraordinary talent after entering the Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace. In the future, they would surely become elites in the sect.

　　"Mmm, there's a disciple from the North Sea Dragon Subduing Hall called Ning Zhan who is also from the Cangmang Continent. His remarkable talent even caused quite a fight amongst several elders." Said the Chosen from the North Sea Dragon Subduing Hall.

　　Feng Ying was quite surprised when she heard this. In the past, not even half a genius would appear from a remote continent like the Cangmang Continent. She never expected that an entire swarm to emerge all at once.
