Chapter 1365: Arrow Pointing at Green Willows

As the low voice of Ancient Saint Taimi echoed through the space, the many Saints of the Sacred Race also ceased their actions. Their faces were all clouded with gloom, as this outcome was clearly beyond their expectations.

After all, in previous conflicts with the Heavens, the Sacred Race had almost always held the upper hand. However, this time, they had been forced to retreat.

Their gaze penetrated the void, fixed upon the exquisitely beautiful figure holding the divine bow. Gravity and apprehension flickered in their eyes. Was that the legendary Third God? Indeed, worthy of being a primordial deity; even though her divinity hadn't fully awakened, her power was already capable of repelling an Ancient Saint.

They understood that with her intervention, no matter how unwilling they were today, they could only temporarily withdraw.

The powerful figures of the Sacred Race Saints gradually faded away. At the same time, the Sacred Race army behind them, swept along by the Saints, vanished into the void.

In just a few moments, the Stone Dragon Secret Domain, once filled with battle, became quiet. It felt as if the earth-shattering battle that had just occurred was nothing more than an illusion.

However, this outcome left the experts of the Heavens somewhat bewildered.

On the massive stone dragon, numerous Law Domain experts stared blankly at the figure standing in the quiet courtyard. In the few years since Yaoyao appeared in Heavens City, she had been highly sought after by many of the Heavens' top experts.

However, this admiration was mostly due to her beauty, temperament, and the benefits of the Ancestral Dragon Pills.

Regarding Yaoyao's true identity, even many Law Domain experts were unclear, so they could only respectfully address her as the Divine Maiden. They had never imagined that this Divine Maiden, who usually only appeared occasionally to refine Ancestral Dragon Pills, possessed such terrifying power.

That previous arrow was so stunning it left everyone dazzled.

Zhao Mu Shen, Su Youwei, and Wu Yao also stared blankly at the exquisite figure. This was their first time witnessing Yaoyao in action, and the sheer power left even the three, who were normally quite proud, feeling somewhat disheartened.

“Yaoyao, is she really that powerful?” Su Youwei, her beautiful eyes fixed on Zhou Yuan, couldn't help but ask.

Zhou Yuan was also looking at Yaoyao. There was no astonishment in his expression; instead, a hint of worry flickered deep in his eyes. He wondered if wielding such a level of power would have any repercussions for her.

“Yaoyao's identity is not ordinary,” he said to the three.

The three exchanged glances, a flicker of understanding in their eyes. After all, the injured Ancient Saint Tianzhan had previously roared about the ‘Third Sequence God’... Although their status meant they hadn't yet accessed information of that level, it didn't prevent them from making some guesses.

In the Stone Dragon Secret Domain, it wasn't just the numerous Law Domain experts who were shocked; even the Saints of the Heavens in the void were slightly lost in thought at that moment.

The power of the Third God had always only been a topic of discussion within the Return to Origin Divine Hall; no one had truly witnessed it. However, the might of that arrow just now had left them deeply shaken.

A single arrow, injuring an Ancient Saint.

Although Ancient Saint Tianzhan might have been caught off guard, it was still enough to demonstrate how terrifying that arrow was. After all, as Saints, they knew all too well the power Ancient Saints possessed, and how incredibly difficult it was to injure one...

As the Saints fell silent, their gaze upon Yaoyao now held a newfound respect.

While they had known Yaoyao's identity before, nothing was as impactful as witnessing her power with their own eyes.

Perhaps, once this Third God fully awakened, their Heavens truly would possess the strength to contend with the Sacred God...

In the void, the Chaos Golden Bell slowly shrunk, finally transforming into a golden light that entered Ancient Venerable Jin Luo's body. He looked in Yaoyao's direction and gave a wry smile, “If the Third God hadn’t intervened, this old man’s bones might truly have been laid to rest here today.”

“Nevertheless, I must still express my gratitude here for the Third God’s timely assistance. This is a great fortune for our Heavens.”

Ancient Venerable Jin Luo bowed slightly towards Yaoyao.

However, in response to Ancient Venerable Jin Luo's thanks, there was no ripple of emotion on Yaoyao's serene and beautiful face. At that moment, she seemed even more indifferent than usual, her eyes, like pools containing stars and moonlight, looked down upon all living beings.

Her gaze swept over Ancient Venerable Jin Luo, then the divine bow in her hand slowly rose. To the horror of many, she remotely locked onto a figure.

It was... Saint Green Willow!

As Green Willow was suddenly targeted from afar, the hairs on his entire body stood on end. A wave of fear, unknown for countless years, surged from the depths of his soul.

The dignified Saint dared not even move a muscle at that moment, for he had a premonition that any unauthorized movement on his part would likely draw the same arrow that had previously wounded Ancient Saint Tianzhan straight towards him.

And with Ancient Saint Tianzhan himself having been injured by an arrow, Green Willow had no confidence whatsoever in his ability to withstand this one.

Green Willow's aged face twitched slightly, and his complexion turned pale. How could he not understand that the Third God’s actions were due to Xu Beiyan’s previous ambush on Zhou Yuan?

Since Zhou Yuan had dealt with Xu Beiyan, this Third God intended to make an example of him.

For the first time, a hint of regret arose in Green Willow's heart. This Third God acted with utter disregard for consequences. If he had known this earlier, why would he have let Xu Beiyan provoke Zhou Yuan in the first place... However, who could have known before that the connection between this Third God, who was supposedly devoid of emotion, and Zhou Yuan would be so profound?

However, Yaoyao's action also caused a stir among the Saints of the Heavens. Many of them subtly changed their expressions.

Ancient Venerable Jin Luo appeared in front of Green Willow, blocking the path of Yaoyao's aimed arrow. He said with a solemn expression, “Third God, please do not be angered. Xu Beiyan’s actions were his own, and Saint Green Willow had little to do with them.”

“After this, our Return to Origin Divine Hall will punish him for his inability to properly guide his disciple.”

After all, Green Willow was ranked within the Return to Origin Divine Hall. As an Ancient Venerable, Jin Luo could not truly stand by and watch him be killed by Yaoyao. If such an incident truly occurred, the rules of the Return to Origin Divine Hall would be shaken.

Yaoyao's gaze remained calm and indifferent as she stared at Ancient Venerable Jin Luo. After a moment, her eyes shifted, falling upon Zhou Yuan, who stood on the massive stone dragon, looking over with worry in his eyes.

Seeing her gaze, Zhou Yuan naturally understood her intention. Immediately, he shook his head with a solemn expression.

Although he strongly disliked Green Willow, if Yaoyao were to truly kill him here, it would cause widespread turmoil throughout the Heavens. With the Sacred Race lurking, it was truly not the time for such a disruption.

Receiving Zhou Yuan's signal, Yaoyao's red lips subtly pursed. The divine bow in her hand was slowly lowered. At the same time, as the void rippled, the small courtyard gradually dispersed.

Only a soft whisper drifted from afar, entering Zhou Yuan's ears, refreshing his heart and mind.

“I’ll wait for you to return.”

Quiet returned once again to the Stone Dragon Secret Domain. All the Saints sighed in relief; even they felt a layer of cold sweat on their backs. Clearly, the Third God's sudden action had made their hearts pound.

But immediately after, the Saints' gazes turned to Zhou Yuan, filled with a strange and complex look.

Of course, it wasn't just them; even Ancient Venerable Jin Luo couldn't help but stare at Zhou Yuan.

Though Yaoyao's gesture was subtle, it could not escape their perception. Her eventual lowering of the bow and departure clearly showed that Zhou Yuan had made the decision...

This young man... could actually influence the will of the Third God.

Or rather, the Third God's attachment to him was deeper than they had imagined.

The Saints exchanged glances, and a consensus was formed.

This young man is a treasure; from now on, he must be revered like a little ancestor.
