Capítulo 1687: Chapter 1687: Leaving the Ruins
Being watched by a crowd is quite an unpleasant affair, especially when you’re treated like a giant panda.
Ye Qiu’s figure flickered and disappeared into the crowd, with the tabby cat and four black dogs not far behind, leaving the crowd with just the sensation of a sudden gust of wind and an empty sight.
Ye Qiu arrived at the location agreed upon with Gao Wanli and Lu Shan, and shortly after, the two showed up, leaving the place together.
Ye Qiu gained quite a lot in the ruins, and now that the last pavilion had been explored, according to the tabby cat, there was nothing good left here.
Ye Qiu expressed his intention to leave, which Gao Wanli and Lu Shan fully agreed with.
The three traveled together, with the tabby cat and black dogs leading the way.
Throughout the journey, Gao Wanli and Lu Shan didn’t ask Ye Qiu in detail about any dangers he encountered; instead, Gao Wanli was curious about which sect Ye Qiu belonged to.
Ye Qiu smiled, “My sect is actually quite small and insignificant in Qingfeng County.”
“No worries, I’m not a disciple of any prestigious sect either,” Gao Wanli said.
Anyway, the fact that he was the Sect Leader of the Dan Shen Sect was no secret. When Ye Qiu revealed his position as Sect Leader in the Dan Shen Sect, Gao Wanli was even prepared for Ye Qiu to be one of the hidden prodigies of the three main sects, yet he was still taken aback by Ye Qiu’s words.
“Sect Leader…” Gao Wanli didn’t know what to say. They both seed to be on equal footing, but then Ye Qiu turned out to be a sect leader, while Gao Wanli was just a Core Disciple. The gap seed a bit too large.
Ye Qiu chuckled and offered, “Brother Gao, you need not mind my position as Sect Leader. In the future, just call Fantian.”
“Alright, then I’ll call you Brother Fantian. This trip to the ruins wasn’t in vain; the greatest gain was eting you, Brother Fantian,” Gao Wanli said with a smile. He knew Ye Qiu’s strength, and Ye Qiu being unperturbed by it and befriending him made Gao Wanli quite excited and pleased, for were it anyone else, they would have already put on airs.
“Brother Ye is the Sect Leader of the Dan Shen Sect?” Lu Shan was greatly astonished, no wonder Ye Qiu’s prowess was so formidable. But wasn’t the Dan Shen Sect focused on alchemy? How co they were also so strong in martial arts, and yet she had never heard of Ye Qiu before? Lu Shan’s curiosity about Ye Qiu grew stronger.
“Brother Fantian, Sister Lu Shan is from the Tian Can Sect. In the future, you can visit her when you go to the Tian Can Sect,” Gao Wanli said with a smile.
“Oh? Tian Can Sect, alright, I’ll rember that,” Ye Qiu smiled.
Lu Shan knew Gao Wanli was intentionally helping her, making her now too shy to look at Ye Qiu directly, quickly averting her eyes whenever they t his gaze.
Not long after, they were close to leaving the ruins, where they could already see the many figures in the distance. Ye Qiu felt that Gao Wanli and Lu Shan wouldn’t encounter any more dangers, and outside the ruins, their sect mbers were there, leaving nothing much to worry about.
“Brother Gao, Miss Lu, I won’t be leaving with you,” Ye Qiu suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, the two were initially stunned, but then Gao Wanli smiled and said, “Alright, we owe this journey entirely to you, Brother Fantian. Later, Wanli will surely visit the Dan Shen Sect, hoping you won’t refuse to et .”
Ye Qiu chuckled, “Of course not.”
Ye Qiu nodded at Lu Shan, turned, and flew towards another direction. The tabby cat and black dogs quickly followed, soon disappearing from the two’s sight.
“Sister Lu Shan, let’s go too,” Gao Wanli said.
The two dashed forward.
Little did they know, behind them, two figures were secretly following. If Gao Wanli saw these two, he would surely recognize them as Du Wei and Feng Wentai.
The two hadn’t initially planned to follow them, but upon seeing Ye Qiu with them while leaving the ruins, their anger flared. They were envious of Ye Qiu’s strength. With Ye Qiu leaving, they dared not follow, but they were unafraid of Gao Wanli and Lu Shan, knowing a bit about their strength. According to Du Wei’s speculation, it was likely that Ye Qiu helped Gao Wanli and Lu Shan obtain so treasures from the ruins.
Since they were practically strangers now, and given that Gao Wanli and Lu Shan might possess good stuff, why not rob them?
This was the reason the two were shadowing them from a distance.
Outside the ruins, at the original entrance, many figures stood — all sect leaders or elders, waiting for their sect disciples to return from the ruins.
After guarding outside the ruins for three or four days, finally, soone began to erge from within.
“Sect Leader, I… inside the ruins…” A young Martial Artist, seeing his sect leader before him, was imdiately overjoyed, about to recount his gains from the ruins, but the Sect Leader interrupted him directly, saying, “Not here, back at the sect.”
“Oh, alright.” The young disciple was no fool; he understood the Sect Leader’s intent, knowing not to show their wealth, as there were people from various sects present, and if anyone discovered they had sothing good, it could easily be snatched away.
Two figures swiftly departed, and simultaneously, the Martial Artists erging one after another quickly vanished with their sects.
However, only a few people obtained good things from within the ruins; as such, many erged, dejected and dispirited, quite evidently empty-handed.
Wu Yaizi tiptoed, searching but unable to spot Ye Qiu, unsure if their new Sect Leader from the Dan Shen Sect had gained anything from the ruins.
At this mont, soone deliberately laughed in front of Wu Yaizi, saying, “Wu Yaizi, where is your new Sect Leader?”
“He must still be inside the ruins, not out yet,” Wu Yaizi replied, unwilling to believe soone capable of defeating the Shadow would not have gained anything from the ruins.
Then, a young Martial Artist erging from the ruins ntioned the Shadow’s people entering the ruins, startling Wu Yaizi, who began to worry if the Shadow’s people intended to settle scores with Ye Qiu.
After a while, the prodigies of the three main sects erged, drawing significant attention.
Everyone knew these prodigies were the most likely to find good things within the ruins because they were young and incredibly strong.
However, regardless of whether it was those from the Piaomiao Sect, Sky Star Sect, or Thousand Illusions Sect – Shen Aotian, Bai Zishu, Wang Luoxing, Situ Rong, Li Hanbing, and others – none seed particularly happy.
Especially Wang Luoxing and Situ Rong, who were still bearing scars, prompting questions from their Sect Leaders upon sighting them.
When the Sect Leaders of the three main sects learned from their prodigies about a young but powerful stranger who stole everyone’s thunder, their interest was piqued.
“Ye Fantian, which sect does this Ye Fantian belong to, overshadowing even the prominence of our Prodigy in the Broken Void realm. Such a young hero indeed.”
Soon, the sect leaders of the three main sects beca aware of soone nad Ye Fantian.
Wu Yaizi, hearing this na nearby, shuddered all over. He was about to proclaim Ye Fantian as their Dan Shen Sect Leader when he held back because speaking up now would surely make him the focal point.
“Oh my, Ye Sect Leader, just what did you do inside the ruins?” Knowing that Ye Qiu was safe, Wu Yaizi no longer lingered and rushed towards the Dan Shen Sect.
He knew Ye Qiu wouldn’t appear directly; with so many people here, Ye Qiu would anticipate the trouble his presence could stir.
“He’ll surely head back to the Dan Shen Sect first; I’ll wait for him in the valley.” With this thought, Wu Yaizi was unwilling to stay a mont longer.
Upon seeing Wu Yaizi sprint off, so couldn’t help but mock, “Dan Shen Sect is just the sa old declining Dan Shen Sect. Even their new Sect Leader is only indulging in self-amusent…”
