Chapter 1944 - 1945 Revealed! Midnight Update
Wan’er laughed wildly, her voice echoing in the cellar.
She wasn’t even afraid to reveal how she planned to capture Ye Qiu and let Tang Surou know.
"You will never succeed, absolutely never." Tang Surou said repeatedly.
"Of course, what I said alone wouldn’t be easy to pull off, but what about this..." As she spoke, Wan’er removed her veil.
Tang Surou’s gaze was fixed on Wan’er...
...
In the wake of Li Xiaosheng’s death, Supreme Saint Jiu Jue has been tirelessly searching for the murderer, while also dispatching people to find Ye Qiu, but no leads have emerged.
Ye Qiu, secretly observing Jiu Jue Saint’s attempts to probe into his background, felt a chill in his heart. If Jiu Jue Saint were to trace it back to Luohé City or Qingfeng County, his connections with Dan Shen Sect or Cang Lou, Bai Lingtian the Saint, and others, would not be favorable.
Master Cang and Bai Lingtian might be fine, at least they possess the power of a Saint, but Dan Shen Sect is vulnerable; it has just been established and might get implicated due to his association, being leveraged by Jiu Jue Saint to force him to show himself.
Realizing the severity of the situation, Ye Qiu had no choice but to come forward.
As the first person to ascend the Turquoise Pool Immortal Stage, Ye Qiu made quite an impression at the Peach Festival and was etched into the minds of countless Loose Cultivators.
"That person, doesn’t he look like Ye Fentian?" Someone saw Ye Qiu walking by and exclaimed in shock.
"He does look similar. They say he is involved in the deaths of the Stone Demon Lord’s Holy Son protector, yet still dares to appear?" Another person, upon seeing Ye Qiu, showed a startled expression.
"Daring to openly walk on the street, it surely wasn’t him who did it, right?" Someone uncertainly stated.
Regardless, the appearance of Ye Qiu quickly attracted the attention of many people.
Since the conclusion of the Peach Festival, Ye Qiu left the back mountain of Turquoise Pool Holy Ground and had not appeared in the public eye.
It has been almost two months and only now has he truly emerged.
Of course, outsiders were unaware that Ye Qiu was forced to do so; he merely wanted to immediately draw the eyes of Supreme Saint Jiu Jue upon himself.
Otherwise, if they traced the matter to Dan Shen Sect, it would certainly be detrimental to him.
For a moment, many curious about Ye Qiu flocked to Fenglan City, though among them were some harboring hostility towards Ye Qiu.
Since appearing voluntarily, Ye Qiu had to refute the suspicions that he was responsible for the murders of Stone Demon Lord’s protector and Li Xiaosheng; this was something he absolutely could not admit.
Otherwise, he would certainly be seen as a target for extermination by two sects, essentially exposing his true identity, with no real difference.
In the tavern, Ye Qiu admired the scenery while sipping tea.
"Ye Fentian, come with us." The people from the Demon God Sect arrived, the leader speaking to Ye Qiu in a nearly commanding manner.
"Why should I go with you?" Ye Qiu remained motionless, still seated in the chair. He was very calm, though inwardly surprised by the Demon God Sect’s swift arrival; they appeared the fastest, he had only shown up less than half an hour ago.
"You should know full well that the death of the Saint Heir’s protector is connected to you." The Demon God Sect person said.
"To my knowledge, the protector of Stone Demon Lord was a Saint power, right? And my realm is merely in the Reincarnation Realm, do you think with the strength of a Reincarnation Realm, I could kill a Saint? Haha..." Ye Qiu replied.
Those watching the drama around laughed, agreeing with Ye Qiu’s logic, as they had never heard of a Martial Artist at the Reincarnation Realm among Loose Cultivators being able to extinguish a Saint; even a prodigy from a super sect would find it challenging to leap across a major realm and strike down a Saint.
"I think your Demon God Sect is hastily placing the blame without any concrete evidence that it was me who did it. You’re looking for a scapegoat and pinning it on me, that’s really belittling us loose cultivator Martial Artists, isn’t it? Is the life of a loose cultivator so cheap in the eyes of your major sects?"
Ye Qiu’s words resonated with some of the loose cultivators present, as they deeply understood that they were indeed too weak compared to the super sects.
But no one dared to speak such problems directly, even if someone had, they no longer existed now.
It’s akin to someone challenging authority, it’s easy to place themselves in mortal danger, dead without leaving a trace.
For this reason, when facing a major sect, loose cultivators always endure where possible, not daring to become adversaries.
"Hmph, stop trying to speak on behalf of all the world’s loose cultivators, you are you. Since you do not wish to comply, don’t blame us then." The Demon God Sect person, seeing Ye Qiu’s disobedience, immediately made a move.
Bam.
The table in front of Ye Qiu exploded instantly, shattered into pieces.
All around, people were shocked in their hearts, frightened by the force of this punch. Just as many thought Ye Qiu would be blasted away, they saw the fist of the Demon God Sect man being stopped by a single finger from Ye Qiu, unable to advance any further.
Go!
Ye Qiu raised his finger, sending the opponent flying backward; an early-stage Reincarnation Realm martial artist was still someone he could easily deal with.
This Demon God Sect person didn’t expect Ye Qiu to be this formidable; he couldn’t forcibly take Ye Qiu away. Realizing how tough Ye Qiu was, after getting up, he took his two subordinates and fled immediately.
Leaving behind a crowd of loose cultivators looking at one another, who immediately burst into laughter.
"Brother Ye, what a person of character, you’ve done something we dare not ever do."
"Indeed, I’ve seen that guy before; he’s bullied us loose cultivators many times previously, yet today, Brother Ye, you stood up against Demon God Sect and beat him down, how satisfying..."
Thereupon, several big men cupped their fists at Ye Qiu, expressing admiration; many only dared to curse within but had no real courage to clash with members of the Demon God Sect.
But today, Ye Qiu cared not for the other’s background, directly beating them away, which indeed was too majestic.
At this moment, Ye Qiu felt his heart racing, a sense of danger; his gaze abruptly shifted to meet a pair of sinister eyes.
It’s him!
Ye Qiu felt a chill down his spine; opposite him, standing afloat on a rooftop, was none other than Supreme Saint Jiu Jue.
"He came in person!" Ye Qiu’s heart trembled. Meanwhile, those few big men who admired Ye Qiu also saw Supreme Saint Jiu Jue nearby and trembled, nearly collapsing, unable to speak.
Ye Qiu’s finger clutched his sleeve tightly; this was the hurdle he had to face; if he couldn’t dispel Supreme Saint Jiu Jue’s suspicions, he’d constantly face crises from Jiu Jue Saint.
Before deciding to appear, Ye Qiu had already anticipated the worst-case scenario, unexpected that events would unfold in the very worst way he imagined.
"Saint’s presence, certainly believing the demise of your sect’s prodigy was at my hands." Ye Qiu suppressed his tension mightily, extending his arm invitingly, saying: "Under such circumstances, I’m willing to prove my innocence, please grant me the opportunity to explain myself."
Swoosh.
Jiu Jue Saint shifted his stance, and Ye Qiu felt his heart tighten, his face changed, immediately sensing something amiss.
