Supernatural Insight Eyes

Chapter 2220: Chapter 2221: I’ll Take on Ten at Once!

Ye Qiu entrusted the task of protecting the women and searching for people to the Beast God and Luo Fu, freeing him to focus entirely on what he wanted to do.

He also told Beast God and Luo Fu that he would leave the Path of the Star River early.

Staying here no longer offers him much help; he’s killed Taiyi, and neither Shi Mo Jun nor the Traveler would fight him to the death now, and with both in the ancient city, he can’t take action. With that being the case, it’s fine to settle accounts with them later.

Beast God and Luo Fu thought leaving early was a good idea too, otherwise if everyone left together, there was a chance someone might ambush Ye Qiu on the way.

Especially given the current situation, Ye Qiu has slain the strongest prodigy of the ancestral land; who knows how furious and crazed Taiyi Shen Sect might become.

If they explode with anger and clash head-on, Ye Qiu would be in grave danger.

Both agreed to Ye Qiu departing early.

Saying goodbye early was also to inform the two, and Ye Qiu entrusted Jin Shanshun and Qin Feng to them as well. Hearing that Ye Qiu wanted to travel alone, Jin Shanshun and Qin Feng both said, "Young Master, although our strength isn’t high, we can help solve some minor troubles for you."

"That’s right, Young Master. We want to follow you wherever you go." Qin Feng said.

Seeing the two devotedly willing to follow him even though his future was uncertain, Ye Qiu felt quite touched, but he just couldn’t let them accompany him.

"That’s an order; do you intend to contradict me?" Ye Qiu said sternly.

"But Young Master, you are in a dangerous situation!" Jin Shanshun grew anxious.

Yet Ye Qiu had already made up his mind not to let Jin Shanshun and Qin Feng risk themselves by following him, "You won’t be following me because I’ve thought of something you should be doing."

He then tasked Jin Shanshun and Qin Feng with secretly going to Dan Shen Sect to protect Shangguan Mingyue and others.

Knowing that Ye Qiu entrusted them with such an important task, Jin Shanshun and Qin Feng no longer insisted; they realized that protecting Shangguan Mingyue and others would also help Ye Qiu, making him a bit more at ease.

Moreover, Jin Shanshun was eager to see his sister Jin Zhimo. In this world, she was his only relative now.

Of course, before leaving, Ye Qiu altered their appearances slightly; otherwise, them being his subordinates would get them targeted.

Thus, when night fell, Ye Qiu quietly left the ancient city, accompanied by Beast God, Luo Fu, and others.

"Take care, Young Master."

"Little Ye Zi, I’m waiting for the barbecue you owe me."

"Brother Ye, if anything happens to you, I’ll take care of your wife."

Ye Qiu waved to them.

"Is that kid really thinking of leaving early?" Ye Qiu and his companions’ figures were fully visible to three order enforcers.

"Brother Pu Zhen, if he goes, he can’t remain part of our ancient city." Di Feng reminded.

"He is a member of our star river ancient city; this fact will not change, whether he leaves or stays." Pu Zhen said, speaking in riddles.

Garo and Di Feng frowned, understanding Pu Zhen’s meaning. Ye Qiu was undoubtedly part of the ancient city, but with him leaving soon, how could Pu Zhen be so certain?

Such an excellent martial arts genius, if really escapes from sight, it would be hard to find another that satisfies them.

"Brother Pu Zhen, what kind of trick are you playing with us? You’ve got us both puzzled." Di Feng curiously asked.

However, Pu Zhen just smiled gently, turning away without looking back, saying, "Rest assured, those who belong to our ancient city can’t escape, and we won’t force them to stay."

Pu Zhen said no more, and both Garo and Di Feng were at a loss.

They couldn’t hit Pu Zhen, and they weren’t able to defeat him anyway.

As the two felt a bit frustrated, Ye Qiu and his companions were bidding farewell at the foot of the ancient city, ready to depart.

According to his agreed time and place with his teacher Zhuo Miao Shan, today was the right time to meet.

After a final farewell, Ye Qiu turned away and left.

The Beast God and others watched Ye Qiu’s figure, sending him off.

But suddenly, Ye Qiu’s steps halted.

The Beast God, Luo Fu, and the others were taken aback, their brows all furrowed.

It turned out several figures suddenly emerged in front, blocking the way.

These figures didn’t reveal any aura; if not for the eyes seeing them, relying just on sensing aura would be impossible to detect, as they had suppressed their aura so well, without a trace released.

Ye Qiu looked at the stern faces in front, smiling bitterly.

Even though he had anticipated such a situation might occur, he didn’t expect it to actually happen.

The blocking figures were all prominent figures from various sects of the ancestral land. They had arrived long ago but hadn’t shown themselves, just waiting for Ye Qiu to appear and leave star river ancient city before revealing themselves.

"Not young martial artists," Beast God said.

"Brother Ye... he..." Luo Fu appeared worried.

Appearing outside the ancient city and not being young martial artists could only mean one thing: celestial-level great figures had arrived.

Moreover, looking at their numbers, there were nearly twenty, a terrifying formation aimed solely at Ye Qiu.

"Taiyi Shen Sect was quick enough; upon discovering their Saint Heir was dead, they immediately sent people to the star river ancient city." Beast God said.

"It seems not only Taiyi Shen Sect, but other sects as well. They’ve likely been waiting outside the city for a while, following the ancient city’s rules where entry isn’t allowed, they had to wait for Brother Ye to appear." Luo Fu said.

"Eighteen celestial-levels, wow, you really think highly of me, Ye Qiu." Facing the numerous great figures, Ye Qiu let out a bitter smile.

Originally intending to first meet with his teacher Zhuo Miao Shan, then leave star river ancient city together, but now it seemed he couldn’t reach the meeting point smoothly.

"Native, you came to our ancestral land in the name of Ye Fentian, and now our sect’s Saint Heir dies because of you. Today, don’t even think about leaving alive." A Hunyuan Sect great figure said.

"Ye Qiu, back on Earth, we couldn’t kill you, but today, even a god can’t save you. Surrender!" Another elder said.

"Your only option now is to kneel and await punishment."

"Perhaps a few kowtows might allow you to die quickly."

"Hand over the three great treasures and the six methods voluntarily, and you might be spared, but your talent will be abolished; power too, and from then on, you’ll be a lowly individual."

"You can’t leave here; once you leave the ancient city, the city won’t protect you. Accept your fate."

The great figures before Ye Qiu pressed him to surrender, leaving no doubt they wouldn’t allow him to leave, a self-evident truth.

How could a Supreme Saint escape from the hand of nearly twenty celestial-level great figures? Even with Taihuang Bell, his chances were slim.

"Are you done talking?"

Facing these old hands, Ye Qiu replied lightly, causing all celestial-level great figures to sneer.

It seemed the kid had quite the temper.

Just then, Ye Qiu said, "Since you’re done talking, come and meet your death; I can take on ten or twenty of you alone!"
