Chapter 113: Five Moves To Overturn The Battlefield
"My Lady Zhou, when are you going to make an appearance...?" Han Xuhan muttered as he watched her undead army disappear into the fog.
Things were not supposed to go like this. Xuanyuan Zhou was the most resourceful and knowledgeable peer he knew. The fact that she had warned him about the dangers of this inheritance test, coupled with how her evaluation on the leaderboard remained pending till now, pointed to the fact that she was prepared for trouble.
Did she mess up somehow? Why hadn’t she returned from the testing hall yet?
Earlier, he had planned a brief window of opportunity to rescue Mu Ran and escape into the fog. But that window was getting tinier by the second.
Qian Yun had somehow managed to make all the cultivators except him, Mu Ran, and Xuanyuan Zhou cater to his commands like a pack of loyal dogs. Why were these proud young cultivators so eager to follow Qian Yun’s instructions? That too after they had gotten their hands on the legacy of the Holy Land. The conclusions to make out of this development were too chaotic and unreliable.
If those enslaved cultivators returned after chasing away Xuanyuan Zhou’s zombies, Han Xuhan would be completely surrounded without any hope of escape. He was just a rookie Mystic Art cultivator. Even the weakest of his opponents had a Mystic Art foundation four layers deep.
"No, I can’t wait anymore. It’s useless to hope for another coincidence at this point," Xuhan muttered to himself, a gleam of determination appearing in his gaze.
"This is going to be... hard."
Qian Yun was just over twenty meters away from him, with Mu Ran’s body lying a bit further ahead. Feng Jun might be trying to come close again from behind him, but the distance between them shouldn’t be less than twenty meters yet. Otherwise, some of his law fragments would have been triggered by now.
