Supernatural Insight Eyes

Chapter 1993 - 1994: Trap! (Second Update)

Just as Ye Qiu was beginning to gain some insight into the killing formation research, suddenly, a visit from a stranger interrupted his intent to delve further into formations.

"It really is Master’s affair." Ye Qiu accepted the token the man brought forth. Since his master asked him to go, he naturally wouldn’t continue staying there.

Ye Qiu tidied up a bit and followed the man down the mountain. According to what the man said, his teacher Zhuang Miao Shan was waiting for him at the Donghua Sect, so he was sent to fetch him.

Ye Qiu knew that Zhuang Miao Shan previously mentioned he was seeking an opportunity for him, but he didn’t expect it to lead to Donghua Sect. Donghua Sect was not unfamiliar to Ye Qiu; he had almost killed their sect’s Saint Heir before.

However, the Donghua Sect should still be unaware that Ye Fentian is actually Ye Qiu, so Ye Qiu didn’t give it much thought. His current identity was Ye Fentian, and besides, his teacher was at the Donghua Sect, and there was a token as proof.

On the way to the Donghua Sect, Ye Qiu wanted to learn some information regarding the opportunity from this man, as he still didn’t know what his teacher had sought for him.

Yet the man didn’t mention a word about it, instead telling Ye Qiu that everything would be revealed once they reached the Donghua Sect.

Unable to glean any information about the opportunity, Ye Qiu didn’t bother to say much more. The formation runes once again emerged in his mind, constructing a formation in his imagination.

The man noticed Ye Qiu was silent, seemingly lost in thought, and couldn’t help but smirk inwardly.

His purpose was to bring Ye Qiu to the designated place, at which point the task would be complete. Of course, in front of Ye Qiu, he still had to maintain his facade. If he were exposed, it would ruin everything.

To reach the Donghua Sect sooner, the man led Ye Qiu to the location of a teleportation formation.

Among those teleporting together with them were also some youths.

Ye Qiu remained silent, as did the man leading him. However, several youths whispered amongst themselves, discussing matters pertaining to their ancestral land.

Ye Qiu paused his mental rehearsal of the formation, diverting part of his attention to listen to the youths’ conversation.

Soon, the teleportation formation activated, enveloping everyone in light, and the next moment, they vanished from their original location.

Before long, they suddenly appeared at the foot of the Donghua Sect’s mountain, the teleportation complete.

The man led Ye Qiu inside the Donghua Sect, and Ye Qiu thought the man would take him straight to see Zhuang Miao Shan. However, the man informed Ye Qiu that the Sect Leader was discussing martial arts with Zhuang Miao Shan and didn’t allow anyone to disturb them, suggesting that Zhuang Miao Shan would meet him the next morning, and arranged for Ye Qiu to temporarily stay in a room.

Ye Qiu frowned slightly but said nothing. Perhaps now really wasn’t the right time to meet his teacher.

After entering the room and resting for a while, Ye Qiu felt somewhat vexed. When he tried to step outside for some fresh air, he was immediately blocked by two guards at the door.

"Sir, without the master’s orders, you’re not permitted to come and go as you please," the guards said, stopping Ye Qiu from leaving.

Ye Qiu retreated back into the room, saying nothing, but he was somewhat displeased. This gave him a feeling akin to imprisonment, not being allowed to move freely.

Suddenly, he found himself in an unfamiliar environment, still on someone else’s territory, and Ye Qiu felt a sense of unease. Even though they said Zhuang Miao Shan would meet him tomorrow, Ye Qiu decided to investigate secretly.

Inside the room, Ye Qiu took out the Tai Huang Bell and placed a fragment of a black-robed figure inside. With a Saint’s fragment concealed within the Tai Huang Bell to explore, things would become clear to him.

The Tai Huang Bell transformed into a grain of sand, slipping out of the room. Even though guards were stationed at the door, they wouldn’t notice a sand-sized Tai Huang Bell.

The Saint’s fragment housed a part of Ye Qiu’s soul. At this moment, through the eyes of the Saint’s fragment, Ye Qiu saw the environment outside the room.

To avoid detection by experts, Ye Qiu didn’t let the Tai Huang Bell move swiftly, letting it only inch forward gradually, then move to a higher vantage point.

Before long, Ye Qiu spotted the man who had previously brought him to the Donghua Sect.

With a thought, the Tai Huang Bell immediately followed and stealthily hid on his clothing.

This man didn’t seem familiar with the Donghua Sect, which puzzled Ye Qiu.

Wasn’t he sent by the Donghua Sect? How could he be unfamiliar with his own sect?

Ye Qiu didn’t linger on it; at this moment, the man entered a grand hall.

"I’ve brought the person, and now I’ll leave it to you, sir," the man said.

Sitting in the hall was a middle-aged man, dressed in luxurious attire—a purple robe with fierce beasts embroidered with golden threads. It resembled a dragon robe but was different, exuding an air of authority.

"No worries, for the sake of Brother Jiu Jue, I naturally must oblige. Since the person he wanted is here, he won’t escape, rest assured," the middle-aged man said with confidence.

His words carried an air of dominance and confidence, clearly someone in a high position.

"Just a day should suffice; the master should kill that guy by then. At that point, this Ye Fentian will be without backing and will have no choice but to give in," the man said.

"Zhuang Miao Shan still wants to secure a spot for his disciple to enter the Star River Road from me, but his plan is bound to fail. Even if he’s a Supreme Saint, what can he achieve? Given my relationship with Brother Jiu Jue, it’s impossible to grant him this spot," the middle-aged man said.

"Zhuang Miao Shan is too full of himself, thinking that divine pills could sway you, sir, without realizing that even if he had divine pills, they’d be useless. In the end, those divine pills will still end up in your hands for nothing," the man flattered.

The middle-aged man chuckled, "I must say, those few divine pills are indeed excellent, but how could I lack a few divine pills? Not to mention the Donghua Sect, even if I sought someone to refine a few divine pills myself, it could be done. Zhuang Miao Shan hopes to exchange a few divine pills for a qualification to enter the Star River Road, such wishful thinking."

"Heh, what insight could a Loose Cultivator have?"

"You’re one of Brother Jiu Jue’s people; you must be extra careful with that lad, keep an eye on him. Once he gets suspicious and discovers something, unexpected complications may arise," the middle-aged man reminded.

"Thank you for the reminder, sir. I’m honored that our elder has a friend like you," the man saluted. "I’ll go back now and personally watch over him at his door to ensure nothing goes wrong."

Afterward, the man bowed and left, intending to return and keep an eye on Ye Qiu.

Little did he know that his entire conversation with the middle-aged man had been heard by Ye Qiu, without missing a word.

Upon hearing it all, Ye Qiu understood that it was a trap, and Zhuang Miao Shan wasn’t here. Instead, he was being hunted by the Supreme Saint. Ye Qiu realized he had been deceived; they merely tricked him into coming to the Donghua Sect to prevent him from learning any information regarding Zhuang Miao Shan and leaving prematurely.

In the room, a cold expression settled on Ye Qiu’s face as scenes of Zhuang Miao Shan facing danger flashed in his mind, all of it because of him.
