Free Web NovelChapter 2198: Chapter 2199: Return to the Ancient City! (Late Night Update)
When Ye Qiu’s name became the center of discussion, his identity as Ye Fentian spread, once again shocking many people.
It turned out that Ye Qiu had already left Earth and boldly came to the ancestral land, operating under the name Ye Fentian.
Ye Fentian is Ye Qiu!
"No wonder I thought this person seemed to appear out of nowhere; so he really isn’t from the ancestral land."
"Wow, you have to admire this guy, using the name Ye Fentian to attend the Turquoise Pool conference, deceiving everyone, then becoming the sixth elder of the Pill Tower, challenging the Supreme Saint, and now he’s on the Path of Stars—truly defying the heavens," someone listed Ye Qiu’s many astonishing achievements.
This news exploded like thunder everywhere. In Qingfeng County, the three major sects were all astonished after hearing Ye Fentian is the Earth native Ye Qiu. They had heard this before, although they were not certain, but now it’s widespread, and even Donghua Sect and Shadow’s powerful figures have come, clearly it’s not fake.
However, when everyone arrived at the Dan Shen Sect, the people had long since left. When Ye Qiu boldly challenged the Supreme Saint, disciples of the Dan Shen Sect secretly moved away.
What remains now is just an empty valley, and the spiritual medicine and Spirit Grass within have been taken away.
People from several sects were left empty-handed, and then they followed another piece of news to Luohé City.
The branch of the Dan Shen Sect was discovered and directly broken into.
Song Qinglong and Zhang Yunke, two of the three young lords of Luohé City, had conflicts with Ye Qiu in the past. Now that they had this opportunity, they naturally wouldn’t miss it. They eagerly stepped forward to lead the way for the sects’ powerful figures.
Nonetheless, no one related to Ye Qiu could be found, whether Shangguan Mingyue, Tang Surou, or Hua Wuji, none were in Luohé City.
"Sir, I know there’s a family in Luohé City quite close to Ye Fentian," Zhang Yunke said.
"Oh? Tell me, which family is it?"
"The Zhu Family!"
When several major sects rushed to the Zhu Family, Zhu Cang did not leave, being an elder of the Zhu Family. He could leave, but if he did, it would implicate the entire family.
It’s like a single hair moving the whole body.
The Supreme Elder of the Zhu Family stood out, exhibiting a half-step Heaven-level aura, but it was useless as several Heaven-level individuals came, leaving the Zhu Family’s Supreme Elder helpless.
Ultimately, Zhu Cang and the Supreme Elder were injured and taken away.
Inside Luohé City, panic spread. Zhang Yunke and Song Qinglong took the opportunity to retaliate, pointing out those who had been close to Ye Qiu, effectively borrowing a knife to kill.
Even Bai Lingtian, the Saint, couldn’t escape, and like Zhu Cang, was taken away, whereabouts unknown.
"Father..." Bai Muxue, together with Shangguan Mingyue and others, worried for her father Bai Lingtian upon hearing the news. If she hadn’t left early, she would have been captured too.
Facing the joint forces of the sects’ powerful figures, their strength was like a drop in the ocean against them.
Compared to the major sects of Dong Hua, Luohé City was ultimately a small place, akin to the difference between the sea and a pond.
A Saint Realm individual couldn’t even resist.
Everyone related to Ye Qiu was taken away by people from the sects, and Luohé City was filled with worry and chaos.
......
Path of Stars.
Since Ye Qiu’s demon physique truly became an emperor-class demon, he and his teacher Miao Shan repeatedly acted, relentlessly killing Heaven-level powerhouses.
Ye Qiu hadn’t anticipated that hunting Heaven-level powerhouses from various sects had already united the sects, determined to capture everyone related to him.
A massive plot against Ye Qiu was brewing in the ancestral land.
Yet Ye Qiu was still unaware of this.
With his constant battles against Heaven-level powerhouses, Ye Qiu became increasingly powerful at the emperor-class demon level, accumulating enough combat skills and experience to greatly aid his breakthrough from Supreme Saint to Heaven-level. Not to mention Miao Shan’s guidance, unreservedly imparting knowledge, Ye Qiu’s understanding grew every day.
Although his power didn’t explode again in a short time, he was laying a deep foundation for advancing to Heaven-level.
In the following days, the master and disciple continued to wait, but notable figures did not appear again. Miao Shan speculated that the sects on the ancestral land realized the dangers of the Path of Stars, thus hesitated, but they were convinced the sects wouldn’t leave it at that.
Big sects wouldn’t allow humiliation without a word.
"We need to be cautious from now on; we may have already been exposed, and must prepare," Miao Shan warned seriously.
Ye Qiu also sensed it; with Heaven-level figures absent, an ominous feeling began lingering in his mind, refusing to dissipate. It’s a kind of premonition, often quite accurate.
He had experienced such premonitions before, and without exception, they all came true.
Three days later, at nightfall, the demonic tide wasn’t as fierce as before, its numbers significantly reduced, showing signs of returning to how it was before the demonic tide emerged.
In other words, the demonic tide was about to end.
Inside the ancient city of the stars, many young Martial Artists had long sensed this, as they noticed when the demonic tide came, the number of demons decreased, even the emperor-class demons were fewer, making their pressure increasingly less. Now some people were even hoping for the demonic tide to come again, because this time, they finally had the upper hand.
As the demonic tide neared its end, Ye Qiu and Miao Shan abandoned hunting Heaven-level powerhouses who might appear anytime.
After many days of constant battle, Ye Qiu mastered the emperor-class power more and more, with his combat power growing daily.
His martial arts experience accumulated extensively.
Ye Qiu decided it was time to return to the ancient city of the stars, and upon exchanging the remaining demon cores for military merit points and settling scores with Taiyi and others, he could leave here, counting down the journey on the Path of Stars.
Miao Shan didn’t object. Once the demonic tide ended, many young Martial Artists would embark on the road back to their hometowns, continuing hunting wouldn’t be too meaningful.
Standing by idly was somewhat a waste of time, and they couldn’t be sure if the major sects would dispatch people again.
"Alright, as you say, anyway, the gains during these days have been significant," Miao Shan said.
Ye Qiu nodded, having grown considerably from fighting with many Heaven-level figures, but now that the demonic tide was ending, signifying the closure of the Path of Stars, he had to deal with other matters.
Since he was planning to return to the ancient city of the stars, Ye Qiu wouldn’t appear as the abyss demon, or else he’d be besieged.
He took out the Xuanhuang flesh body that had been nurtured for some time, switched his soul over, appearing in his usual form.
After setting a time with Miao Shan, he prepared to enter seclusion, digesting the gains of these days.
It’s worth noting that their joint efforts in slaying Heaven-level powerhouses had gathered many valuable items, which Miao Shan could take advantage of researching, waiting for Ye Qiu to finish his business in the ancient city and then meet up to leave.
After their discussion, Miao Shan left first, while Ye Qiu went on his way alone.
Half a day later, Ye Qiu’s figure appeared a kilometer outside the ancient city of the stars. He stopped and gazed at the majestic city afar, a smile appearing on his face.
If he returned alive, Taiyi, Stone Demon Lord, and Walker would surely be shocked to see him!
The grudge when three joined forces against him; now he could finally avenge!
"Hopefully, you three are still alive; don’t disappoint me," Ye Qiu muttered and stepped forward, instantly appearing in front of the ancient city’s walls a kilometer away.
Ye Qiu was back!
