Just as Ye Qiu was beginning to gain so insight into the killing formation research, suddenly, a visit from a stranger interrupted his intent to delve further into formations.
"It really is Master’s affair." Ye Qiu accepted the token the man brought forth. Since his master asked him to go, he naturally wouldn’t continue staying there.
Ye Qiu tidied up a bit and followed the man down the mountain. According to what the man said, his teacher Zhuang Miao Shan was waiting for him at the Donghua Sect, so he was sent to fetch him.
Ye Qiu knew that Zhuang Miao Shan previously ntioned he was seeking an opportunity for him, but he didn’t expect it to lead to Donghua Sect. Donghua Sect was not unfamiliar to Ye Qiu; he had almost killed their sect’s Saint Heir before.
However, the Donghua Sect should still be unaware that Ye Fentian is actually Ye Qiu, so Ye Qiu didn’t give it much thought. His current identity was Ye Fentian, and besides, his teacher was at the Donghua Sect, and there was a token as proof.
On the way to the Donghua Sect, Ye Qiu wanted to learn so information regarding the opportunity from this man, as he still didn’t know what his teacher had sought for him.
Yet the man didn’t ntion a word about it, instead telling Ye Qiu that everything would be revealed once they reached the Donghua Sect.
Unable to glean any information about the opportunity, Ye Qiu didn’t bother to say much more. The formation runes once again erged in his mind, constructing a formation in his imagination.
The man noticed Ye Qiu was silent, seemingly lost in thought, and couldn’t help but smirk inwardly.
His purpose was to bring Ye Qiu to the designated place, at which point the task would be complete. Of course, in front of Ye Qiu, he still had to maintain his facade. If he were exposed, it would ruin everything.
To reach the Donghua Sect sooner, the man led Ye Qiu to the location of a teleportation formation.
Among those teleporting together with them were also so youths.
Ye Qiu remained silent, as did the man leading him. However, several youths whispered amongst themselves, discussing matters pertaining to their ancestral land.
Ye Qiu paused his ntal rehearsal of the formation, diverting part of his attention to listen to the youths’ conversation.
Soon, the teleportation formation activated, enveloping everyone in light, and the next mont, they vanished from their original location.
Before long, they suddenly appeared at the foot of the Donghua Sect’s mountain, the teleportation complete.
The man led Ye Qiu inside the Donghua Sect, and Ye Qiu thought the man would take him straight to see Zhuang Miao Shan. However, the man inford Ye Qiu that the Sect Leader was discussing martial arts with Zhuang Miao Shan and didn’t allow anyone to disturb them, suggesting that Zhuang Miao Shan would et him the next morning, and arranged for Ye Qiu to temporarily stay in a room.
Ye Qiu frowned slightly but said nothing. Perhaps now really wasn’t the right ti to et his teacher.
After entering the room and resting for a while, Ye Qiu felt sowhat vexed. When he tried to step outside for so fresh air, he was imdiately blocked by two guards at the door.
"Sir, without the master’s orders, you’re not permitted to co and go as you please," the guards said, stopping Ye Qiu from leaving.
Ye Qiu retreated back into the room, saying nothing, but he was sowhat displeased. This gave him a feeling akin to imprisonnt, not being allowed to move freely.
Suddenly, he found himself in an unfamiliar environnt, still on soone else’s territory, and Ye Qiu felt a sense of unease. Even though they said Zhuang Miao Shan would et him tomorrow, Ye Qiu decided to investigate secretly.
Inside the room, Ye Qiu took out the Tai Huang Bell and placed a fragnt of a black-robed figure inside. With a Saint’s fragnt concealed within the Tai Huang Bell to explore, things would beco clear to him.
The Tai Huang Bell transford into a grain of sand, slipping out of the room. Even though guards were stationed at the door, they wouldn’t notice a sand-sized Tai Huang Bell.
The Saint’s fragnt housed a part of Ye Qiu’s soul. At this mont, through the eyes of the Saint’s fragnt, Ye Qiu saw the environnt outside the room.
To avoid detection by experts, Ye Qiu didn’t let the Tai Huang Bell move swiftly, letting it only inch forward gradually, then move to a higher vantage point.
Before long, Ye Qiu spotted the man who had previously brought him to the Donghua Sect.
With a thought, the Tai Huang Bell imdiately followed and stealthily hid on his clothing.
This man didn’t seem familiar with the Donghua Sect, which puzzled Ye Qiu.
Wasn’t he sent by the Donghua Sect? How could he be unfamiliar with his own sect?
Ye Qiu didn’t linger on it; at this mont, the man entered a grand hall.
"I’ve brought the person, and now I’ll leave it to you, sir," the man said.
Sitting in the hall was a middle-aged man, dressed in luxurious attire—a purple robe with fierce beasts embroidered with golden threads. It resembled a dragon robe but was different, exuding an air of authority.
"No worries, for the sake of Brother Jiu Jue, I naturally must oblige. Since the person he wanted is here, he won’t escape, rest assured," the middle-aged man said with confidence.
His words carried an air of dominance and confidence, clearly soone in a high position.
"Just a day should suffice; the master should kill that guy by then. At that point, this Ye Fentian will be without backing and will have no choice but to give in," the man said.
"Zhuang Miao Shan still wants to secure a spot for his disciple to enter the Star River Road from , but his plan is bound to fail. Even if he’s a Supre Saint, what can he achieve? Given my relationship with Brother Jiu Jue, it’s impossible to grant him this spot," the middle-aged man said.
"Zhuang Miao Shan is too full of himself, thinking that divine pills could sway you, sir, without realizing that even if he had divine pills, they’d be useless. In the end, those divine pills will still end up in your hands for nothing," the man flattered.
The middle-aged man chuckled, "I must say, those few divine pills are indeed excellent, but how could I lack a few divine pills? Not to ntion the Donghua Sect, even if I sought soone to refine a few divine pills myself, it could be done. Zhuang Miao Shan hopes to exchange a few divine pills for a qualification to enter the Star River Road, such wishful thinking."
"Heh, what insight could a Loose Cultivator have?"
"You’re one of Brother Jiu Jue’s people; you must be extra careful with that lad, keep an eye on him. Once he gets suspicious and discovers sothing, unexpected complications may arise," the middle-aged man reminded.
"Thank you for the reminder, sir. I’m honored that our elder has a friend like you," the man saluted. "I’ll go back now and personally watch over him at his door to ensure nothing goes wrong."
Afterward, the man bowed and left, intending to return and keep an eye on Ye Qiu.
Little did he know that his entire conversation with the middle-aged man had been heard by Ye Qiu, without missing a word.
Upon hearing it all, Ye Qiu understood that it was a trap, and Zhuang Miao Shan wasn’t here. Instead, he was being hunted by the Supre Saint. Ye Qiu realized he had been deceived; they rely tricked him into coming to the Donghua Sect to prevent him from learning any information regarding Zhuang Miao Shan and leaving prematurely.
In the room, a cold expression settled on Ye Qiu’s face as scenes of Zhuang Miao Shan facing danger flashed in his mind, all of it because of him.
