Chapter 343: Even you’re going to stop me?

“Where do you think you are going?!” 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.

“Don’t stop!” 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 she’s betting it all on her?~ Chu Zhengyan eyes widened in shock.

But the next second, Lu Mingshu’s sword light had already turned into a long ray of light, blocking his golden knives.

“Ding, ding ding ding....” 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 Zhengyan’s 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 Wugui’s attacks.

Within a split-second, Lu Mingshu had already run past him.

“To the right!” She shouted and dashed towards the participants who were on Jiang Yuan’s right.

Jiang Yuan calmly threw icicles around and successfully broke out of the blockade.

“Ten ‘clock, twenty feet.”

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 party’s sword light like a dragon’s roar.

The bloody sword light and her sword light collided and both dispersed.

“Twelve o’clock, ten feet.” Lu Mingshu yelled. “Get ready for the cloud’s attack, there’s nobody to help you this time around.”

Jiang Yuan gritted her teeth and landed on another stone pillar.

“Elder brother,” Not far away from them, Qin Jun’s younger brother called out to him. “What’s wrong with Jiang Yuan? She seems weird.”

“Someone has plotted against her,” 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.

“Should we help?”

“How do you want to help her when we are so far behind?” Qin Jun said contemptuously

“Elder 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 we....”

Qin Jun cut him off and pushed him to the left. “Can you see that guy? Take care of him.”

After sending his younger brother away, Qin Jun shook his head in annoyance “The Tenth young master is still young, there are a lot of factors that he still hasn’t considered yet.” The Qin family’s servant walked up to him and said

Seeing him, Qin Jun smiled thinly. He had hand picked this helper after all. “Xiao Shi doesn’t use his brain. If we help Jiang Yuan now, we’d be in trouble too.” He said, his voice softer.

“Young master is right.” the servant stroked his beard. “I do wonder who Prince Jiang offended though. Not helping him might lead to our previous efforts being wasted, but it’s better than getting into unnecessary trouble.”

“Yeah.” 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 wasn’t 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, I’d be at a big loss now if I choose to help her.~

“Who could be so powerful to be able to plot against her here?” Qin Jun muttered. “It is a waste to put in so much just to sabotage one Jiang Yuan.”

“This may be actually less complicated than what the Young master is thinking.” The servant chuckled.

“Oh?”

If Qin Jun valued him, it showed that this servant was very capable. “Whoever 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.”

“You mean Jiang Yuan is a bait?” Qin Jun understood him immediately.

His servant nodded. “Yet the motive is still not clear.”

“It is Jiang Yuan they are plotting against, so obviously that person is aiming for the Jiangs.” Qin Jun said without thinking.

However, his servant seems to think otherwise. “Young master, you are wrong. Think about it, why do they need to make such a big fuss if it’s the Jiangs they are aiming for?”

“What do you mean?”

“The same reason.” He laughed. “There is too much investment, it’s 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. “True.”

Seeing his young master taking his opinions seriously, Qin Jun’s servant can’t help but smile happily. “Young master, let’s not intervene and whatever the other party wants, we’ll see when it comes.”

“Okay.”

Even so, Qin Jun couldn’t help but look over at Jiang Yuan. “He’s both lucky and unlucky.” He sighed. “He has two worthy helpers. The bell’s forest Ji siblings. Are you aware of them?”

The servant shook his head. “Young master, I’m afraid their identity is just a mask.”

“Huh? Why is that so?”

“It 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 Bell’s forest Ji sibling is just a fake identity for a cover up.”

“That’s true.” Qin Jun nodded. “But it is still a pity. It would be good if we met them first.”

But his servant disapprove with his idea. “Hiring them surely cost Prince Jiang a lot, and not only money. He is taking a risk because there’s nobody he can trust and she does not have any choice. Would young master be willing to take this risk?”

Qin Jun look at him blankly and burst out laughing. “Yeah, that’s true.”

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 pity....~

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 cloud’s 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.~

“Why the heck are you daydreaming?!” Lu Mingshu yelled at her. “Just go, go quickly! Nothing else is more important!”

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, twenty....

A blade suddenly appeared in front of her.

It clashed onto the icicle and with a “boom” the weapons were nowhere to be seen.

Seeing the person right in front of her, her heart dropped and she mumbled. “Even you’re moving to stop me, huh.”

The floating cloud gentleman stared at her, expressionless.
