The battle between both parties ended unexpectedly quick. Before any of the onlookers could react, Xiao Tianxuan and Gu Ling had already disappeared, leaving only an exasperated cry in the mountains.

　　The crowd gradually returned to their senses, involuntary swallowing their saliva when they gazed upon the mess of a battlefield once again.

　　No one had expected that the junior city lord of Saint Remains City would actually flee...

　　He had the strength of the peak advance Heaven Gate stage, and only a handful of people amongst the Cangmang Continent's younger generation surpa.s.sed him. Yet, he had been beaten by Zhou Yuan, a recently ascended initial Heaven Gate pract.i.tioner.

　　Moreover… Xiao Tianxuan had lost even after bringing out his little Heaven Genesis technique.

　　Gaze after gaze seemed to gradually change when they looked towards Zhou Yuan again. There was now a little less scrutiny and a little more respect.

　　Silence blanketed the mountains. Everyone knew that Zhou Yuan's name would resound in the Saint Remains Domain after today's battle.

　　Zhou Yuan paid no attention to their gazes. He merely made a beckoning motion with his hand and the dark gold Genesis Qi returned, bringing with it a Universe bag.

　　Zhou Yuan caught the bag, gently swinging it from side to side.

　　"He's really good at running." Zhou Yuan shook his head. He had still underestimated the tricks Xiao Tianxuan had up his sleeve. The latter was practically overflowing with treasures to preserve one's life and escape.

　　"Well, you won't be feeling too good either even if you escaped."

　　Zhou Yuan softly chuckled. At the final moment, he had sent two bundles of Dragon's Resentment Poison into Xiao Tianxuan's and Gu Ling's bodies. The poison will teach them what it's like to beg for death.

　　Zhou Yuan had personally experienced it for over a dozen years after all.

　　"Time to see what else mr junior city lord has." Dark gold Genesis Qi surged towards the Universe bag in Zhou Yuan's hand. A faint Genesis Rune appeared at the mouth of the bag, blocking the foreign power.

　　However, the resistance was not much of an obstruction to Zhou Yuan. After sending out a dozen waves of Genesis Qi, the Genesis Rune gradually dimmed, eventually shattering.

　　With a thought, Zhou Yuan's senses swept into the bag and took a good look at its contents.

　　The first items to appear was 8 gold crystal cards. These were Genesis crystal cards of the Heavenly Crystal Pavilion, and each gold one could be exchanged for a million Genesis crystals.

　　Eight gold Genesis crystal cards represented 8 million Genesis crystals.

　　"... what a wealthy little lord." The sight of these 8 gold crystal cards made the corners of Zhou Yuan's mouth twitch a little. Zhou Qing had only pa.s.sed him 500,000 Genesis crystals when the former left the Great Zhou Empire. In comparison, there were 8 million Genesis crystals in Xiao Tianxuan's Universe bag.
