Chapter 2222: Chapter 2223: Can’t Hide!
"Don’t let him run away!"
An immensely powerful being immediately shouted.
Ye Qiu suddenly disappeared, and those present realized that he must have entered the Taihuang Bell, attempting to hide within it to escape, a tactic frequently employed by Ge Tian in the past.
If Ye Qiu were to escape right in front of ten celestial beings, none of them would be able to face others with pride in the future. So many people present, yet unable to capture a Supreme Saint—what a loss of face.
"Seal the heavens and earth!"
"Seal the heavens and earth!"
Many powerful beings began sealing this world, afraid that Ye Qiu might truly escape.
If they sealed the area in advance, they could trace even the shadow of the Taihuang Bell, but if it got too far away, it would be hard to track.
Everyone understood this, so they sealed the area immediately.
Swish, swish, swish...
A radius of ten miles, a hundred miles, a thousand miles, even ten thousand miles, was enveloped layer by layer in sealing barriers.
Layer upon layer of seals narrowed the potential hiding places of Ye Qiu as much as possible.
Once the surrounding lands were sealed, the powerful beings sighed in relief, although they felt embarrassed for having fallen for Ye Qiu’s words earlier.
Thinking back to when Ye Qiu mentioned his imaginary Dao Master mentor, they all panicked, truly believing such a formidable individual existed. Later, they realized they were deceived by Ye Qiu, and there was no such Dao Master—just Ye Qiu’s escape strategy.
This matter could be unraveled just by thinking a bit more critically.
Ye Qiu, an Earth native, possessed only Ge Tian’s legacy as his strongest means; how could he have a Dao Master mentor? Such figures, not just Ye Qiu, were rarely seen even by them, with only a few reaching Dao Master realm in the ancestral land.
Frankly, even they weren’t clear, as such existence hadn’t appeared in a long time.
Nobody knew how many Dao Masters existed presently.
"Was the Dao Master mentor the young master mentioned fake?" Jin Shanshun naively believed, while Beast God and Luo Fu found it amusing; they also believed Ye Qiu earlier. After all, facing over a dozen celestial beings, Ye Qiu seemed relaxed, leading them to think he had a formidable trump card.
In the end, Ye Qiu was just bluffing, with no Dao Master mentor whatsoever.
"Brother Ye, I truly admire you," Luo Fu said, unsure of what to say further, feeling that Ye Qiu’s method was ingenious, allowing him to instantly enter the Taihuang Bell. Luo Fu wouldn’t have thought of it.
"Really playing outside the box," Beast God remarked, unsurprised; from the time she knew Ye Qiu, he often brought surprises to others.
Now at the Supreme Saint level, this trait hadn’t changed.
"Darn kid," Pu Zhen rarely cursed, evidently having believed Ye Qiu’s words earlier.
Galo and Di Feng, two Order Enforcers, were astonished, realizing now that they’ve also been deceived, feeling frustrated at Ye Qiu for concocting such a method to buy himself time—truly a genius.
In front of the ancient city.
Eighteen celestial beings used their spiritual power to envelop the surrounding land, starting to search for traces of Ye Qiu.
At this point, Ye Qiu was hiding inside the Taihuang Bell, sprinting rapidly—not on the ground, as those celestial beings reacted too swiftly. They nearly sealed the surroundings in an instant, preventing escape, forcing him to head deep underground.
While Ye Qiu borrowed the Taihuang Bell, plunging a hundred meters underground, he suddenly felt a pause ahead; instantly, a massive force exploded from above.
Bang.
Ye Qiu’s heart skipped, changing direction again, but another force swiftly came crashing down.
He had just touched the sealing force, exposing himself and prompting the celestial beings to act immediately.
At this moment, the celestial beings focused underground, and Ye Qiu almost got struck several times while maneuvering the Taihuang Bell.
Enduring repeated strikes would eventually reveal him.
Ye Qiu had a sudden idea; as the celestial beings’ attacks drew near next, he stopped using the Taihuang Bell. Letting the bell drift with the force when it exploded, he exerted no energy, making it appear indistinguishable from a mere stone.
Sure enough, he avoided further strikes from the celestial beings by doing this.
The Taihuang Bell drifted with an emitted energy wave, finally landing quietly on the ground like an ordinary stone.
"It disappeared."
"Impossible, the heavens and earth here are long sealed; he couldn’t escape without us noticing upon touching the seal force."
"He must be hiding inside the Taihuang Bell—motionless, eluding our attention."
"In that case, we must investigate inch by inch."
The celestial beings speculated reasons for losing Ye Qiu’s trace, beginning to probe around, and if Ye Qiu didn’t move, they’d have to check meticulously.
As chunk after chunk of land was eliminated, Ye Qiu grew anxious; faced with eighteen celestial beings, despite a small sealed area, they could cover it due to sheer numbers. This detailed search would soon uncover him.
Once found, even hidden within the Taihuang Bell, it wouldn’t guarantee safety.
With so many celestial beings, previously he only faced three at most—never this many.
Sure enough, soon, one celestial being detected his vicinity, strong spiritual power sweeping over like a microscope, examining each grain of dust.
As it brushed past Ye Qiu’s location, it abruptly paused.
Oh no, I’ve been discovered!
Ye Qiu knew the other must have noticed something odd.
But he held his breath, remaining still—recalling previously when caught in celestial spiritual power, he wasn’t discovered. So long as he remained motionless, even the celestial beings should find it hard to detect him.
The celestial being glanced repetitively but then continued exploring elsewhere.
Ye Qiu sighed; it seemed he survived another crisis. Movement at that moment would’ve exposed him entirely.
Being targetted by eighteen celestial beings’ attacks wasn’t favorable.
Having searched thoroughly, the celestial beings all shook their heads, unable to locate Ye Qiu’s trace.
"The Taihuang Bell can evade our detection; everyone, let’s not waste energy—trace back to the source. He, a Supreme Saint, can’t erase the heavenly law within this land." One powerful being suggested, others agreeing.
Soon, an image emerged, showing Ye Qiu hiding inside the Taihuang Bell during the past bombardment scene.
All celestial beings closely scrutinized the image for suspicious details.
Suddenly.
Ye Qiu felt a chill, an instinctive sense of impending danger.
Not good, they’ve discovered me!
