Free Web NovelChapter 2200: Chapter 2201: Redemption! First Update
The demonic tides did not appear all night; they have indeed ended. Not even the shadow of an abyssal demon was seen.
Those who were still somewhat uneasy finally felt relieved, no longer needing to worry about the demonic tides.
The ancient city became quiet, and the people who hadn’t had a proper rest for a long time at last could rest adequately.
Outside Xinghe Ancient City, on a hillside area.
There were two figures standing under the night sky.
"This Ye Qiu is still alive. Tomorrow, I will personally take action and capture him," an elder said.
This person wore a gray robe embroidered with the insignia of the Taiyi sect, with a restrained aura, and was an elder of the Taiyi sect.
He had been staying near Xinghe Ancient City these days, ensuring the safety of the Taiyi Saint Heir.
"If an elder needs to deal with him, it might be overkill. Though I’m not sure how he survived, since he’s back now, he must be planning to seek revenge on me. Let me handle him," the Taiyi Saint Heir said slowly.
"I have complete faith in the Saint Heir’s strength. These days, I have personally witnessed the Saint Heir’s rapid progress, but this native bears the Götian legacy. It’s safer if I step in, ensuring success without failure," the elder replied.
The Taiyi Saint Heir frowned: "Does the elder not trust my strength?"
"Not at all. I simply don’t want any mistakes. After all, this guy killed the previous Saint Heir. I don’t want the same fate for you..." the elder trailed off.
"If Taiyi cannot even handle a challenge like this, then he has no right to be called the number one. Because of him, I lost an arm, and this vengeance I must avenge personally." The Taiyi Saint Heir glanced at his powerless arm. Because of the Gate of Six Paths, he was almost dragged inside, forcing him to sever his arm to escape.
Ye Qiu hates him for setting a trap to kill him, but how could the Taiyi Saint Heir not hate Ye Qiu for causing him to lose an arm?
"Saint Heir, are you truly confident?" Finally, the elder reminded Taiyi about Ye Qiu’s treasure and the Götian legacy.
But upon hearing this, Taiyi still nodded, his gaze cold, "This time I won’t let him leave alive."
Ye Qiu does possess Götian’s treasure, and that bizarre Six Paths Cultivation Technique, but Taiyi has a way to kill Ye Qiu before he can use any of it. Therefore, no matter how powerful those techniques or weapons are, they won’t be of any use.
Thinking about it, the smile on Taiyi’s face turned even colder.
Due to Ye Qiu’s sudden return, in the ancient city, not only the Taiyi Saint Heir had thoughts racing; figures like Stone Demon Lord, Carefree Holy Son, and Lieyan Holy Son also felt unsettled.
They too were contemplating, knowing well that Ye Fentian was actually Ye Qiu. Who wouldn’t want the things he carried? Moreover, Ye Qiu had past grudges with them, so it could hardly be just forgotten.
Besides the first-tier characters, some second-tier young Martial Artists were also discussing Ye Qiu’s return. It’s unknown who spread the news that Ye Qiu was originally from Earth and bore treasures, sparking much discussion.
Many were surprised that Ye Qiu had such a background.
The news of Ye Qiu’s identity exposure also reached Ye Qiu the first time. He laughed nonchalantly, signaling Jin Shanshun and Qin Feng to keep calm, with no need to be overly agitated.
Since Ye Qiu dared to return, he wasn’t afraid of the consequences of his identity being exposed.
Anyone who dares to attack him, he will deal with them!
Ye Qiu has the confidence to face all enemies, even if the adversary is at the realm of the heavens; he remains unafraid.
Beast God and Luo Fu watched Ye Qiu’s carefree demeanor, uncertain if Ye Qiu was truly confident or simply indifferent, which left them speechless but also curious about Ye Qiu’s confidence.
They didn’t ask. They thought perhaps tomorrow would bring answers.
Even if Taiyi and Stone Demon Lord don’t come to him, Ye Qiu will seek them out.
This night was very calm, but everyone’s thoughts roiled like the calm before a storm, as if the sea was gathering strength, waiting for the right moment to turn into crashing waves tomorrow.
This night passed uneventfully; no one made a move.
The next day, Ye Qiu led Jin Shanshun, Qin Feng, and others to the Military Merit Points exchange area.
Due to the absence of abyssal demons yesterday, very few people were here to exchange Military Merit Points, and even if there were, they were exchanging items for Military Merit Points.
Ye Qiu had collected many demon cores and intended to exchange them all for useful items, undoubtedly not leaving them to gather dust in the storage ring.
Even if he couldn’t use them himself, giving them to the people around him wouldn’t be a bad idea.
"Look, there’s Ye Fentian..."
"He should be called Ye Qiu. That’s his real name."
"I’ve heard about his feats. I didn’t realize he’s not originally from the ancestral land but from a small planet. His growth to his current stature is truly incredible."
Upon seeing Ye Qiu and his companions appear, other young Martial Artists couldn’t help but look over. They knew Ye Qiu had previously showcased the power of a Supreme Saint in the city, and although he’d disappeared for some time, who could guarantee how much more powerful he had become?
"The ancestral land has so many prodigies. Now finally, there’s a prodigy not from the ancestral land," someone remarked, feeling a bit more balanced, having witnessed the emergence of many strong talents among the younger generation from the ancestral land, such as Taiyi, Stone Demon Lord, Luo Fu, and Beast God from the first-tier level of prodigy geniuses.
Looking at the young generation rising from other living planets, few can compare to the ancestral land.
Even if some have caught up and entered the first-tier levels, none dare to challenge the others rashly.
"Are they here to exchange Military Merit Points?"
"Most likely. He had vanished for many days and might have killed many abyssal demons."
"No matter how many he killed alone, it’s not as many as we faced during the demonic tides."
"That’s true. We accumulated 2 million Military Merit Points through consecutive demonic tides, and it’s unknown how much he can exchange."
"Currently, the Taiyi Saint Heir is still at the top of the Military Merit Points leaderboard, with over ten million points. Ye Qiu, being a Supreme Saint, must have collected substantial cores too."
"Just watch, I’m quite curious myself."
Ye Qiu and his group approached the counter to exchange their Military Merit Points.
"Please present your cores, and I will record them for immediate exchange," said the attendant in charge of exchanging Military Merit Points.
Ye Qiu nodded, signaling everyone to make way, leaving a space for him which displeased some spectators.
What was this about, needing such a large space to place abyssal cores?
Just as many were thinking that way, when the area before them suddenly piled with countless demon cores, they were dumbfounded.
There were so many demon cores, it seemed like he had emptied the abyssal demon’s lair!
