Chapter 1996 - 1997: All of You, Come at Me Together!
A vast mountain range, seen from the sky, resembles an azure dragon, sprawling across the land.
In order to locate this place, Ye Qiu expended significant effort. On this mountain range, Ye Qiu set up a super formation, capable of trapping a Supreme Saint.
There has been no news from Teacher Miao Shan, whether alive or dead, and Ye Qiu intends to draw the attention of the Jiu Jue Supreme Saints here to hopefully help Miao Shan escape his crisis.
Ye Qiu began to spread the word, and in no time, the news that Ye Qiu was challenging the Jiu Jue Supreme Saints spread rapidly across the ancestral lands.
"Is that Ye Fentian really challenging the Jiu Jue Supreme Saints? It can’t be true."
"It’s true. A Martial Artist in the Gui Xu realm wanting to fight a Supreme Saint? I think he’s just seeking death."
"I’ve heard that there’s something involved that made the Jiu Jue Supreme Saints target Ye Fentian. Now that Ye Fentian has become an Elder of the Pill Tower, his so-called challenge might not be him personally fighting, but his followers."
"I haven’t heard of any Saints following him, but since he dared to publicly challenge the Jiu Jue Supreme Saints, he does have a lot of courage."
The matter of Ye Qiu challenging the Jiu Jue Supreme Saints naturally also spread within the Taiyi Divine Sect.
Immediately, some of the younger generation of Taiyi Divine Sect were displeased: "Does Ye Fentian really think he’s impressive now that he’s become an Elder of the Pill Tower? Forgetting about alchemy, just based on his strength, I could destroy him with one hand."
"Let’s go meet him. This guy who doesn’t know the height of the sky needs to be taught a harsh lesson."
Seeing the young people in various sects united against a common foe, a few elders did not stop them.
To the elders of Taiyi Divine Sect, Ye Qiu’s challenge was nothing but a joke, so they weren’t bothered to act themselves. Even though the strongest Primordial Saint Child has gone to the Star River Trail, excluding him, there are still many outstanding young talents in Taiyi Divine Sect whose strength should not be underestimated. If they settle this matter, it would also be a perfect conclusion.
Moreover, it would prevent others from laughing at them.
Since becoming the sixth Elder of the Pill Tower, Ye Qiu has become a notable figure in the land. Naturally, him publicly challenging a Supreme Saint has attracted a lot of attention, and many have come upon hearing the news.
Powerhouses like the Demon God Sect and Turquoise Pool Sanctuary have also sent their young generations. In their view, the Taiyi Divine Sect would definitely not ignore this and would act. What the situation would be then, no one knew.
This event also intrigued many loose cultivators, who flocked to the battlefield out of curiosity.
The only ones uninterested are the Donghua Sect, as since the moment the Saint’s avatar purposely left behind the Shadowless Saber, they’ve been in conflict with An Ying, leading to intense skirmishes.
As Ye Qiu stood proudly before the mountains, many people were already present, including members from various sects and numerous loose cultivators.
Most were there to watch the spectacle, as it was rare to see someone dare to challenge an Elder of the Taiyi Divine Sect in the ancestral lands. Many wanted to see Taiyi Divine Sect make a fool of themselves.
Luo Yao from the Turquoise Pool Sanctuary arrived, causing some surprise. Who would have thought even Turquoise Pool Sanctuary would be interested in this matter?
Luo Yao approached and smiled, saying, "Pill Master Ye, your challenge to the Jiu Jue Supreme Saints might be too reckless. Now that things have escalated, it’s hard to wrap it up. If you regret this, I can intervene and help."
"Thank you for your kindness, Fairy Luo Yao. I appreciate it," Ye Qiu smiled and thanked her. His mind was set on challenging the Jiu Jue Supreme Saints, mainly because he wanted to draw them out sooner this way. He did not believe that, with his public challenge to the Jiu Jue Supreme Saints, Taiyi Divine Sect would not inform them.
Since the Jiu Jue Supreme Saints would definitely know, he believed he could help his teacher escape the pressure of being hunted sooner.
Ye Qiu smilingly refused. Luo Yao sighed, thinking Ye Qiu was too eager for fame. Even if he wanted to make a name for himself at a young age, he shouldn’t challenge top-tier Saints; it’s too risky a move.
Members of the Demon God Sect soon arrived as well, though they were unfamiliar faces. They looked young, likely geniuses among their peers. However, Ye Qiu wasn’t too concerned since he didn’t even care for Shi Mo Jun, let alone those inferior to him.
With the presence of people from several major sects, the gathering of Martial Artists at the scene reached over ten thousand, as far as the eye could see, just shadows of people.
"The people from Taiyi Divine Sect are here!"
When they saw a group of white-robed youths approach through the crowd, the crowd automatically parted, knowing the real drama was about to unfold.
Ye Qiu challenged the Jiu Jue Supreme Saints publicly. Would the Jiu Jue Supreme Saints accept the challenge today, or would someone else step in? The answer would soon be clear.
"Are you the one challenging my Taiyi Divine Sect’s Elder?"
When the group of white-robed youths reached the front of the crowd, one young man stepped forward, showing a disdainful look toward Ye Qiu, and slowly spoke.
Ye Qiu said nothing, his gaze sweeping lightly over them, asking, "Who are you to the Jiu Jue?"
"Hmph, do you think you’re fit to call the Elder by name, Ye Fentian? Do you really think you have the qualifications to challenge my Taiyi Divine Sect’s Elder?" the young man scoffed.
As one of Taiyi Divine Sect’s prodigies, although Li Shengyi wasn’t as prestigious as the Primordial Saint Child, he was still among the top in Taiyi Divine Sect. The Jiu Jue Supreme Saints were his respected elders, so naturally, he was displeased with Ye Qiu’s challenge and wanted to teach him a lesson.
"Whether I have the qualifications to challenge him is not for you to decide, and I don’t need to prove it to you," Ye Qiu replied calmly.
"Such arrogance. Since you’re so confident, let me test your skills first," said Li Shengyi as he prepared to attack, but just then, several figures suddenly dropped down to the front of him, saluted, and said, "To deal with such a madman, there’s no need for Brother Li to act; let us test him first."
"Oh, okay," Li Shengyi said with a faint smile, seeing no reason to refuse their volunteering.
Seeing this, the surrounding crowd called out the names of the newcomers. Ye Qiu had met and even fought against these individuals before.
The people were none other than Beikun Saint Son, Qingyun Saint Son, and Luo Tian Saint Son.
So it was these defeated generals!
Upon seeing these three Saint Sons, scenes from when he fought them on Earth flashed in Ye Qiu’s mind. He didn’t expect these three Saint Sons to now serve as front-line soldiers under someone who was not a Saint Child in Taiyi Divine Sect.
In reality, it wasn’t all their fault. They were lower-ranked Saint Sons whose strength was vastly inferior. Despite their Saint titles, some were even weaker than some core disciples of super forces like the Taiyi Divine Sect, Turquoise Pool Sanctuary, and Demon God Sect.
Since they wanted to suffer defeat at his hands once again, he might as well grant them their wish.
Before the three could speak, Ye Qiu took the initiative to say: "Come at me all at once."
