Not good!
Originally, he thought his companions could hold off for a mont, but unexpectedly, Bai Lingtian suddenly unleashed such terrifying power. He dared not hesitate anymore; if he didn’t leave now, he wouldn’t be able to leave at all.
Compared to taking out Ye Qiu, of course, protecting his own life was more important.
He glanced fiercely at Ye Qiu, who was in a very bad state. The black-robed saint was filled with regret. If he had just a little more ti, he could have taken out Ye Qiu, just a little bit more.
Leave!
Since it was already decided, the black-clad man didn’t delay any longer, giving up on continuing to kill Ye Qiu, and turned to step into the darkness.
At the instant the black-clad man left, Bai Lingtian appeared beside Ye Qiu. Seeing Ye Qiu’s poor condition, he had no mind to pursue those who had attacked, but imdiately helped Ye Qiu to get out of danger.
"Mysterious Icy Palm?"
Bai Lingtian glanced and could see what stroke Ye Qiu had suffered. Startled, he imdiately took Ye Qiu back to the Bai family.
Once both sides of the fight had vanished from the street corner, soone appeared at the site of the recent battle.
"That guy who was injured, if I’m not mistaken, should be Ye Fentian, who made quite a scene at the exchange eting."
"A saint actually wants to kill him. I wonder what kind of person he has offended."
"He has probably offended quite a few people, having caused conflicts left and right earlier. Fortunately, Bai Saint appeared quickly, otherwise, he would have surely been done for."
"However, Bai Saint’s strength is frightening. I only realized today how terrifying a Top-tier Saint can be. Did you notice, that saint blocking the front couldn’t hold for a single mont against Bai Saint, getting knocked away in no ti? Truly a terrifying existence."
The assassination attempt on Ye Qiu and Bai Lingtian’s intervention ensured that this night would be far from peaceful.
In less than half an hour, everyone in Luohé City learned of the incident. After all, a saint striking to kill was not a frequent occurrence, not to ntion that the target was Ye Qiu.
Bai Lingtian personally treated Ye Qiu’s injuries, removing the ice poison. Despite the challenges of the Mysterious Icy Palm, it wasn’t too difficult for Bai Lingtian, who, being a Supre Saint, was capable of solving such a problem.
When Ye Qiu’s entire arm regained sensation, it was already dawn. Seeing Bai Lingtian sweating profusely due to himself, Ye Qiu felt grateful and couldn’t help thanking him: "If it weren’t for Brother Lingtian, I fear this arm of mine might have been ruined."
"It was rely an exertion, nothing to worry about. How do you feel now?" Bai Lingtian asked.
Ye Qiu stretched his arm and expressed that he was feeling well, with no significant issues.
Bai Lingtian nodded approvingly. As long as Ye Qiu was okay, exerting so strength was worth it. He feared that without a budding pill master like Ye Qiu, the future would lose a talent.
"Ye, my junior, do you know who attacked you?" Bai Lingtian asked. To deploy two saints to kill Ye Qiu indicated no ordinary hatred, even if Ye Qiu had offended the Fang family, the Xiahou family, or Zhang Yunke, it wouldn’t warrant such an attack by sending two saints.
Ye Qiu didn’t need to ponder long; he knew exactly who the attackers were. It surely was the Zhu family.
However, Ye Qiu didn’t want Bai Lingtian involved in this matter as it was between him and the Zhu family, and he intended to handle it himself.
"I don’t know, maybe I’ve offended too many people, and everyone wants dead." Ye Qiu chuckled.
Watching Ye Qiu still having the humor to laugh at this mont, Mu Xue felt speechless. She wanted to open Ye Qiu’s chest and see how big his heart was.
"Father, if he doesn’t want to say, let’s leave it at that. You’ve exhausted yourself; let assist you back for so rest." Mu Xue addressed Bai Lingtian.
Bai Lingtiao smiled: "Alright, let’s let Ye junior take so rest, and we’ll investigate matters further tomorrow."
After the two left, Zhang Shanfeng soon pushed open the room door: "Young Master, are you alright?"
Ye Qiu touched his arm, shook his head: "I’m fine, Bai Lingtian arrived in ti to rescue , allowing to escape a disaster."
"Young Master, you truly have great fortune thanks to Saint Lingtian." Zhang Shanfeng couldn’t help but feel a cold sweat, knowing a saint’s action could easily wipe out soone like him with a flick of the finger. Zhang Shanfeng, anwhile, was greatly surprised, as he couldn’t believe Bai Lingtian’s tily appearance, wondering how Ye Qiu managed to withstand a saint, surely having his own ans.
Facing a saint and surviving, there was little for Zhang Shanfeng to criticize in following such a young master.
Besides, his young master was also a Divine Grade Alchemist.
After lingering for a bit, Zhang Shanfeng returned to the adjoining room to rest, leaving Ye Qiu alone.
Ye Qiu didn’t rest; since entering the ancestral land, he hadn’t stopped, either cultivating or continuing his training.
Hence, he was where he stood in strength today.
But without using dark powers, he was still unable to contend with a saint. Ye Qiu urgently wanted to enter the Saint Realm, feeling that his current Broken Void Realm strength was inadequate. This was just Luohé City. With only his Return to Ruins realm power, should he encounter those Saint Heirs and grand sects, how would he compete with them?
He had to beco stronger, to be able to overlook all challenges.
At this mont, an infinite yearning for strength surged within Ye Qiu’s heart. Despite accelerating his martial skills quickly, Ye Qiu felt it was still not enough; he had to go faster to gain the qualification to contend with all major powers by entering the Saint Realm.
Moreover, he needed to reclaim Shangguan Mingyue; without sufficient power, achieving this was difficult.
Ye Qiu cald his mind, as he was set to continue cultivating.
Regarding the matter of those two saints who just targeted him, Ye Qiu’s mind was already set.
After probing the soul of the shadowy middle-aged man, Ye Qiu planned to return to the Bai family. After bidding farewell to Bai Lingtian, he aid to rescue Shangguan Mingyue, but didn’t even reach the Bai family before a saint’s assassination attempt struck.
This wouldn’t end easily.
The Zhu family targeting him like this wouldn’t go unanswered. What were two saint elders to him?
Ye Qiu vowed to annihilate the Zhu family, leaving no elder untouched.
Beneath Ye Qiu’s calm surface surged a murder intent toward the Zhu family — it was they who ca to provoke him, and thus shouldn’t bla him for being ruthless.
After making a big loop and changing their clothes, the two black-robed saints returned to the Zhu house. Before they spoke, Zhu Tian knew the outco.
"Didn’t leave any traces, did you?"
The two saint elders shook their heads.
As long as they left no traces, it was fine. Otherwise, they’d risk trouble if Bai Lingtian found out.
"This ti you failed to kill him, Ye Fentian will certainly be on guard, so let’s hold off for now, let things settle." Zhu Tian said.
"But if we delay too long, this kid might breakthrough." The elder said.
"There’s no helping it, you two are our Zhu family’s only elders; I don’t want you two involved any further, or the hit on our Zhu family would be too great." Zhu Tian said.
Upon hearing this, the two elders had nothing more to say, simply falling silent. As for when to strike again at Ye Qiu, they’d await Zhu Tian’s decision.
