Chapter 1338: Chapter 1338: We Must Catch Him!
Ye Qiu led the elder out about ten miles and finally stopped at the base of a Weapon Mountain peak.
The elder was panting heavily. Without being able to use the power within his Dantian, his physical strength wasn’t strong, and after walking for a while, he was exhausted.
Taking a few deep breaths, the elder once again thanked Ye Qiu for his help.
“Thank you, Ye Qiang, for helping save my treasure.” The elder clasped his fists.
Bending down, his gaze fell on the golden object in Ye Qiu’s hand, hoping Ye Qiu would return it.
Ye Qiu remained indifferent and said with a hint of disinterest, “Do you know what this is?”
The elder realized Ye Qiu had no intention of returning it, feeling sowhat displeased and disappointed inside, but dared not show it on his face and replied imdiately, “I only know that the Tai Yi Saint Heir and others want this thing, and I found it by chance.”
Ye Qiu nodded. Sothing specified by the Tai Yi Saint Heir would naturally not be simple, especially as this object, emitting golden light, appeared extraordinary, almost like a divine artifact.
“Do you know how many of these objects Tai Yi Saint Heir and his group have obtained?” Ye Qiu asked.
“From what I know, there should be two pieces, but no one knows what they actually do.” The elder replied.
Ye Qiu uttered an “oh” and inquired again about the location of Tai Yi Saint Heir, but unfortunately, the elder did not know.
Discussing the inability to use Dantian power, the elder complained: “Here, everyone’s Dantian power is restricted, relying solely on physical strength. Only those with stronger bodies beco more powerful here.”
This resonated with Ye Qiu, who also felt restricted by only using physical strength.
In the past, he could leap easily over a mountain, but now, climbing up and down a Weapon Mountain peak took considerable effort.
After gaining so understanding of these issues, Ye Qiu let the elder leave, who glanced longingly at the golden object Ye Qiu held.
Ye Qiu chuckled softly and said, “So things will only bring calamity and disaster without the strength to wield them. Do you agree with ?”
Understanding Ye Qiu’s point, the elder knew Ye Qiu wouldn’t give him the golden object and said, “Ye Qiang, you’re right. Precious treasures belong to the virtuous; I lack such fortune. I hope you can gather all the golden fragnts.”
Finishing his words, the elder waved and left.
Ye Qiu watched the elder leave until he disappeared, not knowing his na.
“This thing is a part of a weapon. Not sure how many pieces it’s broken into, but with one piece in my possession, Tai Yi Saint Heir can’t complete their collection,” Ye Qiu muttered to himself.
Next, Ye Qiu attempted to find other golden fragnts, noticing many others searching, so working for Tai Yi Saint Heir and others wanting to claim them for themselves.
At this point, the young man Ye Qiu had thrown far away arrived before Tai Yi Saint Heir and others, recounting how Ye Qiu had taken a golden fragnt from him, exaggerating details to suggest Ye Qiu disregarded Tai Yi Saint Heir, further enraging him.
“That native is truly arrogant,” Donghua Holy Son remarked.
“Tai Yi, soone’s belittling you like this, shouldn’t you show them your prowess?” The Demon Lord hoped to see Tai Yi Saint Heir and Ye Qiu clash, as he was already displeased with Ye Qiu.
Among the five, Turquoise Pool Holy Daughter was perhaps the only one with no strong animosity towards Ye Qiu; rather, she grew increasingly impressed by him.
Initially, after betting with the Beast God that Ye Qiu would defeat Luo Tian Saint Heir despite being underestimated, she paid keen attention to this Earth native, eventually even inviting him privately, only to find him expertly feigning innocence and ignorance.
Later, when the ten Saint Heirs appeared, facing Elder Mu’s threat, Ye Qiu temporarily yielded, leading Turquoise Pool Holy Daughter to believe he wouldn’t try anything tricky anymore. Yet, she was proven wrong, as Ye Qiu slipped past Elder Mu and reappeared in the Burial Weapon Array, even fortunately acquiring a golden fragnt.
“I now increasingly anticipate how far you can go.” Turquoise Pool Holy Daughter kept these thoughts to herself as Ye Qiu’s playful deanor reappeared in her mind, indeed an intriguing native.
Ye Qiu’s presence stirred a trace of anger in Tai Yi Saint Heir, especially upon hearing about the golden fragnt Ye Qiu had seized.
The reporting youth, smug with his success, knew from Tai Yi Saint Heir’s expression that he’d certainly not let Ye Qiu off lightly, ensuring retribution for his grievances thanks to his vivid tale.
“Ye Qiu, soon you’ll learn what a grave mistake it is to offend Tai Yi Saint Heir,” the youth’s sinister gaze emanated coldness.
Tai Yi Saint Heir didn’t personally seek Ye Qiu, instead instructing those running errands to probe for him.
This Burial Weapon Array was peculiar, preventing the use of Dantian power, impacting Tai Yi Saint Heir’s potency significantly. Nevertheless, in purely physical combat, he believed he wouldn’t lose to anyone, confident as the foremost Saint Heir in his martial realm and physical prowess beyond anyone’s reach.
By midday, Elder Mu entered the Burial Weapon Array and found Tai Yi Saint Heir.
Elder Mu returned, unsurprisingly to Tai Yi Saint Heir, knowing that no matter how many skeletal puppets there were, they couldn’t threaten Elder Mu, which was why he hadn’t worried.
He chose not to act himself to conserve energy, wanting to unleash his full potential during the struggle for the Supre Emperor Bell, ensuring no failures.
“Master, forgive my incompetence; I couldn’t capture that native. All those skeletal soldiers were controlled by him, but still, he eluded us,” Elder Mu reported.
From Elder Mu, knowing Ye Qiu was indeed unhard surprised the other Saint Heirs. Facing Elder Mu alone and still escaping unscathed was sothing even they might not achieve, but this Earth native astoundingly accomplished it, arousing both anger and so envy.
“Those skeletons were manipulated by him?” Tai Yi Saint Heir was astonished.
“Indeed. Not sure what thod he uses to control those skeletons and command them to attack,” Elder Mu said.
Simultaneously, Elder Mu transmitted sothing to Tai Yi Saint Heir without voicing it aloud: “Ye Qiu likely possesses so divine Cultivation Technique.”
Tai Yi Saint Heir was internally shocked, maintaining an unchanged exterior, imperceptible to the Demon Lord and others.
“It seems necessary to capture this person,” Tai Yi Saint Heir’s expression flickered as he revealed Ye Qiu’s appearance in the Burial Weapon Array.
Elder Mu instantly exuded killing intent: “Once his trace is uncovered, let deal with him.”
