Chapter 2098: Chapter 2099: The Whole Story of 2099!
A resounding slap echoed across the land.
Jiang Yu, a member of the Fengshen Squad, was slapped hard by a stranger, and immediately, everyone around was stunned.
Jiang Yu’s power was at the pinnacle level of the Gui Xu Realm, almost at the Saint Realm. In this region, he was an incredible figure with a notable reputation.
Especially considering Jiang Yu was part of the Fengshen Squad as well, Ye Qiu’s slap on Jiang Yu meant offending the entire Fengshen Squad.
"You’re looking for death!"
Jiang Yu was bewildered by the slap, his head spinning with stars, but it didn’t stop him from immediately jumping up and roaring his fury.
It was the first time he’d been slapped in public.
But as soon as he jumped up, another slap greeted him.
Quick and clean, Jiang Yu wanted to dodge but couldn’t, getting hit hard again and flying out.
"You son of a..."
Jiang Yu touched his face, his cheeks were numb, blood had been slapped out, and Jiang Yu was still indignant. Who the hell dared to slap him like this?
Ye Qiu didn’t explain; this guy had dealt with Qin Feng and Jin Shanshun, even killing him wouldn’t make Ye Qiu hesitate in the slightest.
In Ye Qiu’s heart, he didn’t consider Qin Feng and Jin Shanshun as subordinates. Although the two had always called him the young master, in Ye Qiu’s heart, they were his brothers.
Jiang Yu dared to bully his brothers, and Ye Qiu would never forgive him, even if it exposed his identity as Ye Qiu from Earth. So what?
He now had the power to face any formidable enemy. Even if a powerful presence from the Heavenly Realm came, he was reasonably sure he could escape.
Having taken several slaps in succession, Jiang Yu realized the person in front of him was terrifying and dared not curse anymore, only staring at Ye Qiu with wide eyes.
"Who are you? Why interfere?"
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Jiang Yu didn’t roar. He wanted to find out Ye Qiu’s identity before plotting revenge.
After all, Ye Qiu definitely wouldn’t dare to kill him here, otherwise he would be violating the ancient city rules, a price no one could bear.
"Tell those behind you this isn’t over. I’ll settle this slowly with you, now get lost." Ye Qiu said coldly.
If it weren’t for the rule against killing here, Jiang Yu would have been a corpse by now.
Jiang Yu pointed at Ye Qiu, dared not say more harsh words, trying to regain some dignity since Ye Qiu’s gaze was intimidating, fearing he might strike again.
Although killing wasn’t allowed here, disputes were still possible.
Jiang Yu ran off, heading deeper into the ancient city; he was probably going to find someone.
Ye Qiu glanced around at the others; when they felt Ye Qiu’s icy demeanor, everyone’s heart quivered, not daring to watch the spectacle anymore, everyone went back to their homes, to their families.
Ye Qiu’s strength made the people in this region shiver with fear, afraid of bad luck, scared to end up like Jiang Yu, wisely retreating, leaving Ye Qiu, Qin Feng, and Jin Shanshun alone.
"Come with me."
Ye Qiu didn’t say much; this wasn’t the place to talk. He quickly returned to his residence, set up a barrier to prevent outsiders from spying.
Qin Feng and Jin Shanshun both stared at Ye Qiu, wanting to confirm Ye Qiu’s identity.
Ye Qiu looked at the disheveled duo, grabbed the fake faces off his face, revealing his true appearance.
"Young Master!"
"Young Master."
Seeing Ye Qiu’s appearance, Qin Feng and Jin Shanshun were overwhelmed with excitement.
"I’m sorry for what you’ve endured." Ye Qiu hurriedly helped the duo up, letting them sit down and talk.
"Young Master, we thought we’d never see you again." Jin Shanshun’s eyes were filled with tears, smiling. He never expected Ye Qiu to be here; they finally had a backbone.
"Take the elixir first, recover a bit, we’ll talk later." Ye Qiu looked at the numerous wounds on the duo, immediately taking out the remaining elixirs.
They didn’t hesitate, swallowed them immediately, and began cultivating.
Gradually, their wounds healed swiftly, and their overall condition became more and more invigorated.
The progress in martial arts of Qin Feng and Jin Shanshun surprised Ye Qiu; they’d both reached the Gui Xu Realm, although only at the early stage, it was rapid advancement, considering when they parted on Earth, they were below Hui Xu Realm; how long had it been, their martial arts reached such heights.
Ye Qiu had many questions, but he wasn’t too anxious, waiting for them to fully recover before discussing in detail.
Not long after, Qin Feng and Jin Shanshun completely recovered, chatting about their experiences after the collapse in ancient terrain.
Previously, Ye Qiu had learned from Shangguan Mingyue, Jin Zhimo, and Tang Surou that at the last moment of the ancient world’s demise, everyone entered an aircraft, flying off Earth; later, the aircraft was attacked, leading to everyone missing.
"When the aircraft broke, everyone fell into the universe. Qin Feng, Bai Xiong, and I originally wanted to protect the young master’s wives, but a cosmic storm blew by, scattering us instantly. During the storm, the three of us held on tightly, eventually appearing on an unfamiliar planet." Jin Shanshun said.
"After entering that planet, we realized everyone had to work hard to cultivate and elevate their realm, hoping to find the young master’s wives."
Listening to Jin Shanshun and Qin Feng’s descriptions, Ye Qiu understood; that planet’s resources were much richer than Earth’s, and the three originally had a martial arts foundation, later joining a powerful local sect, advancing rapidly. Surprisingly, they encountered outsiders entering there, yet relying on their joint strength, killed all outsiders; eventually, the three entered the Star River Path together.
After stepping onto the Star River Path, the trio’s insight greatly expanded; the universe was so vast, but though their strength was formidable, among the numerous prodigies in the Star River Path, they were still at the bottom.
So they wanted to kill more Abyssal Demons to enhance their prowess; however, with their Gui Xu Realm power, killing Abyssal Demons wasn’t easy. By coincidence, they met the Fengshen Squad, teamed up to kill some Abyssal Demons, yet unexpectedly, on the way back to the ancient city on the Star River Path, Bai Xiong suddenly died, and upon returning to the ancient city, the duo discovered Bai Xiong’s death was reduced to Jiang Yu.
"Frustrated, we sought Jiang Yu for revenge, but his power had greatly increased, far exceeding ours." Qin Feng said.
Ye Qiu knew the rest; he appeared by chance, resolving the duo’s crisis.
Sadly, Bai Xiong had already perished at the hands of others.
"I will take revenge for Bai Xiong; I won’t let him die in vain. Anyone who dares to kill one of my brothers will face ten times the retribution!"
Ye Qiu’s gaze was filled with murderous intent.
