Free Web NovelChapter 2199: Chapter 2200: The End of the Demon Tide
On the Starry Ancient City, the sky was getting darker.
The young martial artists had already gotten used to the demon wave arriving at this time each day.
During the last demon wave, only a few thousand abyssal demons appeared. Today, people weren’t sure if the abyssal demons would attack again.
Some speculated that the last demon wave might have been the final one, and there wouldn’t be an attack today.
Many held this view, as the rapid decline in the number of abyssal demons seemed to support this possibility.
However, due to this uncertain speculation, people didn’t relax and still chose to stand on the city walls to verify this guess.
After all, not everyone was so optimistic, and some felt that perhaps the last demon wave would be more terrifying than any previous ones.
The outcome would soon be clear.
"Look, there’s a shadow approaching from ahead." Someone noticed a vague shadow in the distance; others focused their attention. Were the abyssal demons really coming?
The figure was fast, and everyone’s gaze converged there.
But when they saw the figure, which seemed to be alone, people were puzzled.
Only one abyssal demon coming?
That was practically the same as the demon wave ending.
Just as many were confused, the figure became clearer, as it was now standing below the ancient city wall.
"It’s... it’s... a human, not an abyssal demon..." someone pointed at Ye Qiu and said.
A human?
At this time, appearing wasn’t an abyssal demon but a human?
Many martial artists on both sides of the ancient city wall crowded over, including the Turquoise Pool Saintess, Beast God, Luo Fu, Jin Shanshun, Qin Feng, and others.
Nearly everyone stood at the front of the ancient city wall, and Tai Yi, Stone Demon Monarch, Wanderer, Lieyan Holy Son, Xiaoyao Holy Son, and others were all staring at the figure below.
"He... he seems to be... Ye Fentian!" someone recognized Ye Qiu.
Others also realized it. The person in front wasn’t anyone other than Ye Qiu. Some were puzzled; could Ye Qiu still be alive?
Everyone knew that during the demon wave days, Ye Qiu had never appeared before, and people thought he had already died a long time ago.
Who would have expected that he wasn’t dead and had miraculously returned to the Starry Ancient City?
Many on the ancient city walls were unaware of the real situation and thought Ye Qiu’s appearance might be due to him being trapped somewhere previously, but Tai Yi, Stone Demon Monarch, and Wanderer knew clearly.
At this moment, the hearts of these three were the most shaken.
Ye Qiu wasn’t dead; he returned alive!
Surviving the attack from Elder Huang, which was devastating across the heavens, they couldn’t believe it. They had seen Ye Qiu being blasted into the cosmic abyss.
They thought that even if Ye Qiu survived Elder Huang’s attack, with the outbreak of the demon wave and the overwhelming abyssal demons, Ye Qiu should have perished at the hands of the demons.
However, they didn’t know that Ye Qiu had evaded the fatal strike using the Supreme Emperor’s Bell and even created a demon avatar. Now he possessed a power of celestial levels.
"Young Master!"
"It’s the Young Master; the Young Master is back." Nothing made Jin Shanshun, Qin Feng, Beast God, and others happier than this. Even though they knew Ye Qiu was alive, his only appearance had been brief, and no one knew what happened afterward. But seeing Ye Qiu standing unscathed below, they were relieved.
"I knew he would come back," the Beast God said, smiling.
"A guy who often works miracles, I didn’t believe he would die outside," Luo Fu added.
On the highest pavilion within the ancient city stood three figures.
Pu Zhen, Order Enforcer Kala, and Order Enforcer Di Feng stood there against the wind, taking in the scenes around the Starry Ancient City, and naturally noticed Ye Qiu’s return.
"Kala, you said before that I didn’t have good judgment in people, misjudging a genius. It seems my judgment wasn’t wrong at all. The genius I recognized didn’t let me down," Pu Zhen said slowly.
Kala was indeed a bit embarrassed; he thought Ye Qiu had died outside when he couldn’t return to the Starry Ancient City. But now, this guy suddenly came back, catching even him, an Order Enforcer, off guard.
He was eager to know how Ye Qiu survived the days of the demon wave.
"Cough... Pu Zhen brother, that was just a casual remark before. Why take it seriously? Okay, I admit, your insight is better than mine." Kala conceded and didn’t deny it, admitting he was wrong this time.
For Ye Qiu’s return, Pu Zhen was already mentally prepared. However, seeing Ye Qiu’s current state, Pu Zhen was truly a bit shocked, as he found Ye Qiu’s body seemed different, beyond even his penetrating gaze.
Swipe.
Standing below the ancient city, Ye Qiu slightly raised his head, looking toward the highest building of the city. He already saw the three Order Enforcers, smiled at them, and proceeded into the city.
Ye Qiu’s return aroused a lot of curiosity. Everyone wanted to know how Ye Qiu had spent those days.
However, given the previous impression Ye Qiu left on people, knowing his formidable strength, most wouldn’t dare approach. Only familiar faces like Beast God, Luo Fu, Jin Shanshun, and others came up first to welcome him back.
The Turquoise Pool Saint also came over to greet him.
"Long time no see everyone," Ye Qiu smiled at them.
"Young Master, it’s so great that you could return," Jin Shanshun said excitedly.
"You and Qin Feng are both excellent, not letting me down, both having reached the Saint level now," Ye Qiu said.
Scratching his head, Jin Shanshun said sheepishly, "Thanks to the Beast God and Lord Luo Fu, Qin Feng and I were able to breakthrough."
With Ye Qiu’s return, they chatted endlessly, while others who were either unfamiliar or hostile to Ye Qiu didn’t come near.
The sky had completely darkened, and not a single abyssal demon appeared, indicating that the demon wave had truly ended.
The people on the city wall cheered, thrilled and excited to have survived the many demon waves.
After chatting for a while, the Beast God reminded Ye Qiu, "I know you came back to seek revenge on Tai Yi and the Stone Demon Monarch, but I must warn you, they aren’t ordinary Supreme Saints anymore; they’re quite powerful."
Ye Qiu smiled, knowing that for the Beast God to say such words meant Tai Yi and the Stone Demon Monarch had made significant progress.
"Oh, then I really want to see for myself," Ye Qiu said indifferently. He had slain many beings with celestial power and wouldn’t be daunted by Tai Yi or the Stone Demon Monarch, who hadn’t even reached that level!
"Ye Brother, Qing Lin is right. Those two have fought the Emperor Demons many times and aren’t what they used to be. You must not underestimate them," Luo Fu chimed in when he saw Ye Qiu dismissing them.
Ye Qiu patted Luo Fu’s shoulder, "Thanks, I understand." He didn’t explain further; they would naturally realize his strength.
Even without using his Emperor Demon form, facing Tai Yi and the Stone Demon Monarch with his Xuanhuang body, he was fully confident.
Ye Qiu’s gaze naturally fell on Tai Yi and the Stone Demon Monarch, while they also looked over, their glances meeting in mid-air.
A surge of battle intent erupted!
