The Supreme Lord Donghuang Chapter 271

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The battle between Zhou Donghuang and Mo Yitian had been witnessed only by those of the four main sects.

 Although there were many other sects of the Alliance outside of the Guiyao planet, because of the great distance from the planet, they still did not have any idea of what had happened on the Guiyao planet… Otherwise, all of them would surely also be shocked by the power that Zhou Donghuang had just demonstrated.

 Zhou Donghuang had given Mo Yitian three tries to attack him, but not only had Mo Yitian failed to gain the upper hand, he had even been defeated with just a single blow from Zhou Donghuang!

 “Zhou Donghuang, the talented disciple from the Lightning Sword Sect, is simply too powerful. Among the sects of the Alliance, there may not be anyone else stronger than him among those in the late Dharma stage… even among those in the ultimate Dharma stage, there may not even be anyone who is his match.”

 Be it the Jihan Sect, the Tiansong Sect or the Yunyue Sect, everybody was thinking the same thing.

 The power that Zhou Donghuang had just showcased was already so incredible that it made one shudder.

 In fact, everybody felt that based on the power with which Zhou Donghuang had easily defeated Mo Yitian with that day, he could definitely be taken to be the most powerful man in the Alliance below the ultimate Dharma stage!

 Because among the many sects of the Alliance, there could be nobody else in the late Dharma stage who would be able to toy around with and defeat Mo Yitian in such an outrageous manner.

 Mo Yitian was already among the top adepts in the late Dharma stage among the many sects of the Alliance, and he would definitely be able to be among the top ten in the Alliance Hunt ranking board.

 “If Zhou Donghuang's luck is not bad, he is definitely going to win the Alliance Hunt this time.”

 Now, not only did those from the Lightning Sword Sect think so, even the Jihan Sect, the Tiansong Sect or the Yunyue Sect all felt the same way.

 The Alliance Hunt was held on the Guiyao planet to hunt beasts.

 Adepts in the early, middle or late Dharma stage were all allowed to kill beasts of a higher level than them, and they held a definite advantage in the Alliance Hunt.

 Of course, late Dharma adepts had the biggest advantage in the hunt.

 This was because there were many beasts and monsters on the Guiyao planet that were all of different levels of skill and power, and there were even many ultimate Dharma beasts to be found all around.

 In such circumstances, even though early and middle Dharma adepts could kill beasts of a higher level than them, faced with an ultimate Dharma beast, these adepts could only run.

 In fact, the strongest early Dharma adept in the sects of the Alliance would surely be a dead meat if an ultimate Dharma beast laid its eyes on the poor adept.

 In such circumstances, late Dharma adepts who would kill beasts of a higher level held an advantage because they could defeat even the strongest ultimate Dharma beasts on the Guiyao planet.

 Although ultimate Dharma adepts had no fear of ultimate Dharma beasts, they could only kill ultimate Dharma beasts to accumulate points, and hence they did not stand as much of a chance as late Dharma adepts.

 So to everybody of the four sects, once Zhou Donghuang entered the Guiyao planet, if nothing went wrong—such as having bad luck and not being able to meet any beasts—then all his power would be put to waste.

 Although the Guiyao planet was not considered large, it was not small either. Even adepts who had reached the Primordial Soul stage would not be able to traverse half of the planet within just three short months, much less the entire the Guiyao planet.

 In the history of the Hengliu galaxy, there had been occasions where there were extremely powerful disciples of the Alliance taking part in the Alliance Hunt, but they only had average results in the end.

 In fact, such situations were not uncommon.

 Precisely because of this, in the Alliance Hunt, powerful late Dharma adepts could only be said to have the biggest advantage, but that didn't mean they could surely achieve a high rank at the end of the hunt.

 After the battle between Zhou Donghuang and Mo Yitian, everybody's attention rested on Zhou Donghuang, then eventually turned elsewhere.

 After all, they could not keep looking at Zhou Donghuang forever.

 This time, they had come here to the Guiyao planet to take part in the Alliance Hunt, and the Alliance Hunt did not restrict disciples from working with each other.

 Now, if they could find a good partner or two, that would be favorable for them in the contest.

 “Sister Luo.” Zhong Feng, the disciple of the leader of the Jihan Sect, Meng Yuping, who had treated Luo Qinghan very poorly all the time, now reappeared beside Luo Qinghan once again. Her face was now filled with a bright smile, looking like an entirely different person from before.

 “What do you think of us two pairing up once we enter the Guiyao planet and the Alliance Hunt begins? We will split the beasts that we killed evenly, and split the points evenly.”

 Zhong Feng's words made the other disciples of the Jihan Sect who had been thinking of pairing up with Luo Qinghan stop in the tracks.

 They could not afford to offend Zhong Feng.

 Furthermore, if Luo Qinghan decided to work together with Zhong Feng, Zhong Feng would surely not be willing to allow anyone else to join their team.

 Even Zhou Donghuang, the talented disciple of the Lightning Sword Sect, would not be willing to bring so many burdens along with him.

 To them, be it Luo Qinghan or any of the Dharma adepts in the Jihan Sect, they would be considered a burden if they were to team up with Zhou Donghuang.

 “Sister Zhong.”

 Luo Qinghan naturally understood the reason why Zhong Feng wanted to team up with her. She looked seriously at Zhong Feng, then smiled calmly and asked, “Are you sure you want to team up with me? No regrets?”

 “Hm?”

 Seeing Luo Qinghan ask such a weighted question, her gaze revealing that there was surely something between the lines, Zhong Feng was taken aback and filled with a sense of foreboding. “Luo Qinghan, since Zhou Donghuang is your man… could it be, this Alliance Hunt, he is not going to team up with you to accumulate points together?”

 “Indeed.”

 Luo Qinghan nodded and answered, “I am not working with him.”

 With that, the group of Jihan Sect disciples who had wanted to team up with Luo Qinghan heaved a sigh of relief as they looked mockingly at Zhong Feng.

 Hearing this, Zhong Feng's expression changed drastically as she replied coldly to Luo Qinghan, “Pretend I never looked for you.”

 With that, Zhong Feng turned and left right away.

 Why had she wanted to team up with Luo Qinghan?

 Wasn't it because she had wanted the power of Zhou Donghuang?

 Now, Luo Qinghan had already declared that she would not be working with Zhou Donghuang throughout the Alliance Hunt, and Zhong Feng surely would no longer want to team up with Luo Qinghan. If she had teamed up with her, Luo Qinghan would only be a burden to her.

 Luo Qinghan was not surprised by Zhong Feng's reaction and only laughed sadly to herself.

 After Zhou Donghuang had defeated Mo Yitian, she had realized that the disciples who had treated her coldly in the past, even the leader of the Jihan Sect, Meng Yuping, now looked at her differently.

 “Who would have thought… that one day, I, Luo Qinghan, will be treated like this because of a man.”

 Luo Qinghan was extremely bitter inside.

 Since she had entered the Jihan Sect, she had wanted to use her own capabilities and hard work to make a name for herself.

 However, she would never have thought that right from the start, she would be linked to Zhou Donghuang, which made everybody of the Jihan Sect treat her differently.

 “After this Alliance Hunt, I will leave the Jihan Sect… I'll leave the Hengliu galaxy as well, to somewhere that even Father and Granny do not know about.”

 1In that moment, Luo Qinghan had already made a firm decision in her mind.

 She had always been a very headstrong person. Although she could definitely grow with the support of Zhou Donghuang, she still rejected such a notion.

 She did not want to rely entirely on a man for support, that was not what she wanted!

 She did not wish to become a flower vase.

 Zhou Donghuang was naturally unaware of Luo Qinghan's thoughts.

 However, he was well aware of Luo Qinghan's headstrong character after that occasion where Luo Qinghan and Luo Wuchen had visited him at the Lightning Sword Sect.

 Standing among the disciples of the Lightning Sword Sect, Zhou Donghuang's eyes landed once again on Luo Qinghan. “This is not the way to go… I must think of something to give her a better technique.

 “It is always better for adepts to convert to a better technique as early as possible.”

 Ever since he had found out that Luo Qinghan had indeed refused to convert to the “Technique of Everlasting Youth,” the Deity-level technique that he had given the Luo family chief, Zhou Donghuang had been anxious.

 He did not wish for Luo Qinghan's strong nature to affect her future.

 However, he also knew that based on her personality, even if he took a knife to her neck, he would not be able to force her to do something that she did not wish to do.

 “I must think of something else…” said Zhou Donghuang to himself.

 “Little Brother, why do I get the feeling… that girl from the Jihan Sect seems to dislike you? What is going on?”

 He Mengxi always had startling intuition. She had been observing Luo Qinghan from the start, but had realized that when Luo Qinghan looked at Zhou Donghuang, her eyes were not filled with love, but rather with a sense of distance.

 “Didn't you say that she was your woman?

 “Also… she said just now that in her life, she would either not marry anyone at all, or if she were to marry someone, it would be you.”

 He Mengxi was confused, as she did not understand what was going on at all.

 What stage had her little brother and Luo Qinghan progressed to? Why did they not seem like a pair of lovers at all? In fact, they appeared to be more of strangers.

 Faced with the questions from He Mengxi, Zhou Donghuang only smiled slightly and did not reply.

 Seeing this, He Mengxi also did not probe further, as she was well aware that her little brother clearly did not want to elaborate more.

 “Third Sister.”

 Zhou Donghuang turned to He Mengxi and said, “In this Alliance Hunt, I do not intend to team up with you and Da Zhuang, I want to go around myself.”

 For this Alliance Hunt, Zhou Donghuang had already made other plans, and did not intend to team up with He Mengxi and Da Zhuang.

 “No worries, it is even better if you do not come with us.”

 He Mengxi said, “If you team up with us, we're afraid we will not even get the chance to do anything.

 “Don't worry, the two of us will be fine together, you go yourself.”

 As she spoke, He Mengxi almost seemed to look down upon Zhou Donghuang, the man whom everybody else had dreamed of teaming up with.

 “Even if the two of you are together, you must be careful… based on your power, even if you are alone, it will be easy for you to defeat late Dharma monsters. But ultimate Dharma beasts will be almost impossible to kill unless the two of you work together,” Zhou Donghuang reminded.

 “If you meet an ultimate Dharma beast that the two of you are not able to handle even together, then you had better run.”

 He was not sure if the Guiyao planet had such beasts, so Zhou Donghuang had to remind the two of them.

 By this time, more and more people had arrived at the Guiyao planet.

 The next day was the official commencement of the Alliance Hunt.
