Free Web NovelChapter 2197: Chapter 2198: Deaths of the Celestial Lords! (Second Update)
Star River Road.
One after another, celestial-level formidable beings have arrived once more.
Sects like the Donghua Sect, the Hunyuan Sect, and the Canglan Sect, after having their celestial-level members fall on Star River Road, all sent powerful beings again, wanting to find the culprit this time.
However, as numerous powerful sect members entered Star River Road.
One shocking piece of news after another shook the various sects.
Within the Canglan Sect.
The appearance of powerful sect members sparked much discussion among the disciples.
"This time, with two elders taking action, we are sure to find the culprit."
"If we catch him, we must dismember him, never letting him get away."
"Killing our Canglan Sect’s powerful beings equates to a never-ending feud with us, such an enemy must not be allowed to roam free."
Even within the grand hall, the Canglan Sect’s Sect Leader and the elders in waiting were talking about this matter, having great confidence in the actions of the two celestial-level elders this time.
Yet just as the high-level members were confident they would capture the culprit, suddenly, an elder entered the hall in a panic.
The Canglan Sect Leader exclaimed, "Why are you here?"
"Sect Leader, something bad has happened..." the elder said shakily because the recent events would alter the standing of the Canglan Sect in the ancestral territory.
"What happened?" Seeing the elder’s bad expression, the Sect Leader sensed something was wrong and asked urgently.
"Elder Chang Tian and Elder Wei Tian’s life tablets have shattered!"
The elder’s words echoed within the hall, and the Sect Leader along with others appeared shocked as if struck by lightning, immediately standing up in a state of disbelief.
How could this be possible?
They had only just entered Star River Road, how could they have fallen?
Unconvinced, the Sect Leader led everyone quickly to the room where the sect stored the life tablets, and upon seeing Elder Chang Tian and Elder Wei Tian’s life tablets shattered in pieces, they were stupefied. Initially, they had already lost a celestial-level being, and now, suddenly losing two more celestial-level beings, they couldn’t believe just like that, they had lost three celestial-level beings?
Celestial-level beings are the pillars of a sect, originally believing that having two celestial-level elders take action would avenge the previous elder, yet instead, it was like losing everything in a gamble, everyone’s efforts were in vain.
The Sect Leader’s face was extremely dark and losing three celestial-level beings at once threatened the sect’s safety.
"Recall all outer disciples, return to the sect immediately!"
While the Canglan Sect was taking action, the Donghua Sect also became unsettled.
Their dispatched celestial-level beings also fell.
Quickly following was the Hunyuan Sect, as they too received the terrible news.
Almost within a single day, the celestial-level beings sent from the ancestral territory were nearly all annihilated, totaling more than a dozen.
It’s terrifying, what exactly is on Star River Road, why do so many celestial-level beings perish there?
Could it be the City Lord of Star River intervened?
Many sects found it confusing, as logically, someone of the City Lord’s level wouldn’t take action, especially since even the celestial-level beings who went knew the rules.
But if it wasn’t the Star River Ancient City taking action, then who would have such power?
Nobody could figure it out; the whole matter seemed puzzling from the start.
Initially, this news only spread within the major sects, leaving the disciples dumbfounded, feeling bewildered; some sects even felt like the sky was crashing down in that instant.
Before long, the news spread throughout the ancestral territory, even becoming known to many loose cultivators.
Everyone discussed this major event; many celestial-level beings perishing is no small matter.
"Whether it’s Donghua Sect, the Hunyuan Sect, or even the Shadows, celestial-level beings have died on Star River Road; it’s truly astounding."
"Why are those celestial-level beings entering the Star River Road anyway? Isn’t it a place for young martial artists to train? They don’t need to undergo training there at their level, do they?" someone queried in confusion.
Others shared similar thoughts; why were such powerful beings rushing to Star River Road?
At this time, someone revealed that the reason so many celestial-level beings were drawn there in the beginning was due to hearing that the Earth native Ye Qiu had appeared on Star River Road, which attracted many powerful beings to follow.
"What? An Earth native? Is it that native youth who inherited from Ge Tian?"
"That’s right, him; otherwise, who else could attract so many celestial-level beings? Ye Qiu not only possesses Ge Tian’s treasure but also received Ge Tian’s inheritance, providing enormous help to celestial-level beings. After all, Ge Tian was almost at the level of a Dao Sovereign."
"Wasn’t Earth sealed off with a super formation, preventing anyone from getting in or out? How did Ye Qiu manage to emerge?"
"Possibly, the seal was Ge Tian’s last resort. With Ge Tian’s inheritance, Ye Qiu naturally had a way out, although it was unexpected that he would head to Star River Road."
"Indeed, this native seems quite simple, slaughtering many Saint Heirs from the ancestral territory on Earth with no one able to contest him. Now, due to his appearance on Star River Road, consecutive celestial-level beings have fallen. It feels like this guy is a disaster star, specifically restraining our ancestral territory’s powerhouses," someone lamented.
"I believe many celestial-level beings’ deaths are indeed likely related to Ye Qiu. Back when we were on Earth, celestial-level beings couldn’t kill him; now that he’s on Star River Road, his power must have rapidly increased, perhaps even reaching the celestial realm itself."
"Impossible, he’s so young, entering the celestial realm so soon, that’s too monstrous."
"For others, perhaps not possible, but considering he possesses Ge Tian’s treasure and inheritance, who can say for certain? With his appearance, the ancestral territory might be poised for another upheaval."
Meanwhile, Ye Qiu’s name spread once again throughout the ancestral territory, with many people recounting previous stories about him. Now, with these celestial-level deaths occurring consecutively, Ye Qiu’s renown in the ancestral territory resonates louder than ever.
Pill Tower.
Jin Zhimo, upon hearing about Ye Qiu’s appearance in the ancestral territory and the deaths of many celestial-level beings, felt a shock inside that outsiders could not fathom.
Others assumed the celestial-level deaths might be related to Ye Qiu and were uncertain if he was indeed on Star River Road. But Jin Zhimo knew it was likely true because Ye Qiu is Ye Fentian.
"Teacher, are you really on Star River Road?" Jin Zhimo muttered. If true, she would be relieved, having not heard anything about Ye Qiu for a long time, fearing he might have been killed by powerful beings in the ancestral territory.
Luohé City.
Shangguan Mingyue, Tang Surou, and Zhang Shanfeng, upon hearing the news, much like Jin Zhimo, breathed a sigh of relief, while also feeling shocked.
Has Ye Qiu’s power truly reached such heights?
