The movents of the Demon God Sect did not escape Ye Qiu’s notice. He observed an elderly seeker who seed to be searching for him.
However, since the other party was not yet a Saint, Ye Qiu did not concern himself too deeply.
In the following two days, Ye Qiu once again used declarations to provoke the Stone Demon Lord. Yet aside from so young martial artists expressing their resentnt, no Saint-level powerhouses appeared.
This left Ye Qiu sowhat disappointed.
"Is it possible that minor provocations from the younger generation aren’t enough to draw out a Saint?" Ye Qiu wondered, realizing he needed to alter his strategy.
rely irritating others provided only temporary satisfaction, with no substantive effect.
He wanted to ascertain if that Saint belonged to the Demon God Sect; clearly, this thod was ineffective.
To provoke him to appear by challenging the Demon God Sect at their doorstep would be suicidal, a step Ye Qiu would not take.
Thus, Ye Qiu could only continue his previous thod of conducting soul searches.
"Let’s start with this old fellow," Ye Qiu had already identified his target, as this fellow had been the most active in dispatching people to find him. Ye Qiu had secretly noted him down long ago.
So Ye Qiu deliberately sent a letter to the old man, luring him out of the Demon God Sect.
The old man was quite surprised to receive Ye Qiu’s letter; he had been looking for Ye Qiu, only for Ye Qiu to contact him himself.
"Fine, fine, fine, I’ll personally co and kill you," the old man said coldly, leaving the Demon God Sect imdiately.
After so ti, the old man arrived at the foot of a mountain.
It was precisely the location ntioned in the letter.
Seeing that the old man indeed ca alone, Ye Qiu was very surprised, thinking, "This old fellow is quite confident."
"Are you the ant?" the old man glared at Ye Qiu, who appeared slowly before him, surprised that the young man dared to show his face.
"I saw you were searching for ; I’ve co to save you the trouble, isn’t that more to your liking?" Ye Qiu said with a smile.
"You’ve irked the Saint Heir repeatedly. I’m here today to take you down for him. Prepare to die," the old man confird Ye Qiu’s identity and, not wanting to waste ti, launched a deadly attack.
"Don’t just talk about yourself. Even if your so-called Stone Demon Lord cos, I will see to it that he doesn’t return," Ye Qiu’s mind flickered, and a Saint Avatar appeared instantly, striking directly at the opponent.
He discerned that this old man might be a close confidant of the Stone Demon Lord, explaining the persistent pursuit for his master.
The sudden appearance of the Saint’s aura stunned the old man, halting his movents; he hadn’t anticipated Ye Qiu’s companioning of a Saint.
"Even a Saint can’t protect you," the old man’s aura shifted. This ti, it was Ye Qiu’s turn to be surprised, for it turned out the old man was also a Saint-level warrior, having deceived Ye Qiu with his previously exposed Void Returning Realm aura.
Both concealing their true abilities, the Saint’s aura collided, violently shaking the mountains, causing them to flatten.
It caused an enormous disturbance.
Ye Qiu knew that such a commotion would quickly attract others; he had to finish the battle swiftly. Moreover, the Demon God Sect was not far, and should people co, it would bode ill for him.
"Then today, let slaughter another Saint!"
Ye Qiu’s eyes flashed, activating his dark transformation, adding a second Saint to his side while the opponent only had the old man.
Indeed, Ye Qiu’s power surged, turning the tide of the fight, further astounding the old man with Ye Qiu’s newfound status as a Saint.
Ye Qiu and his Saint Avatar combined forces to kill the opponent.
Fifty breaths later.
Shh, shh, shh...
Several figures descended, all with no lack of strength, with the lowest being at the Void Returning Realm.
"This is..."
They had felt the strong fluctuations of Saint aura, prompting their arrival. Approaching, they sensed combat; upon arrival, the battle had ended.
"The Protector of the Stone Demon Lord... he... is dead..."
"Couldn’t believe it was him!"
The strong figures, seeing the lifeless old man on the ground, realized a great quake was upon them.
This was the Stone Demon Lord’s Protector; now dead, wouldn’t the Stone Demon Lord be infuriated?
Subsequently, Saint-level powerhouses appeared, their expressions changing upon seeing the old man.
As people from the Demon God Sect arrived, the old man’s body was taken back to the Sect.
The next day, the Demon God Sect was remarkably quiet, as if the old man’s death had no impact.
Those in the know realized the matter had yet to be reported to the Stone Demon Lord, who was currently honing himself on the Galactic Path, unable to swiftly return.
Yet among the Stone Demon Lord’s faction, there were calls to investigate, with suspicions pointing directly at Ye Qiu.
"It must have been Ye Fentian; no one else could have done it."
"I say, perhaps not. It’s rumored Ye Fentian is rely at the Void Returning Realm, while the Stone Demon Lord’s Protector is a genuine Saint. Even if old, still a Saint, unlikely beaten by a Void Returning Realm martial artist," so found it unreasonable.
"True, but who knows if Ye Fentian has any hidden cards? Maybe he has a Saint backing him," many thought it made sense. The notion of Ye Qiu defeating the old servant alone seed unlikely, but a backer made it plausible.
No matter the truth, with a Saint Heir’s Protector dead, a massive sect like the Demon God Sect had to respond, publicly announcing a hunt for Ye Qiu on the third day.
Soon, news of the Demon God Sect’s quest to capture Ye Qiu spread like wildfire, rapidly disseminating.
As many sought Ye Qiu, eager for the Demon God Sect’s reward, Ye Qiu had already left the area, heading toward the Taiji Sect.
The Protector’s death was indeed his doing, using darkening and his Saint Avatar; naturally, the old man wasn’t a match.
Yet, it’s worth noting the old man was difficult; to eliminate him swiftly, Ye Qiu nearly t his end, had he not quickly used the Six Paths Gate to forcibly refine the opponent’s soul, he’d be the one dead.
The Protector of the Stone Demon Lord, his power was truly formidable, a Supre Saint at his peak, though age had dulled his essence, diminishing his strength sowhat. Otherwise, even Ye Qiu with his Saint Avatar would have struggled to kill him, allowing Ye Qiu to gain so advantage to an extent.
Unable to perform a soul search, Ye Qiu absorbed the soul pearl ford from the opponent’s soul, subsequently acquiring the old servant’s soul mory. During absorption, Ye Qiu learned about the Demon God Sect’s Saints.
"Not a Saint of the Demon God Sect!"
After digesting the mory, Ye Qiu took ti to compose himself. rging foreign mories is a painful process, requiring extensive rest.
This pain proved worthwhile, as it ruled out two sects, leaving the Saint’s identity looming large.
Taiji Sect...
