After a dizzying whirl, everything finally stabilized. Ye Qiu opened his eyes and took in the scenery before him. "Have I finally returned to Earth?" Ye Qiu breathed in the air, sensing the spiritual energy in the world. Though faint, there was a trace lingering in the air. This environment could only be Earth, without a doubt. In the far distance, lights flickered; that must be a bustling city. "Master." Caine looked around with a face full of curiosity, while Ye Qiu greedily took a deep breath. Without experiencing life on the moon, one could never realize how lovely and safe Earth is when one’s powers are weak. Ye Qiu surveyed his surroundings and sensed that he and Caine were on a mountainside, otherwise, they couldn’t have seen the bustling city in the distance so clearly. "I wonder which mountain this is?" Ye Qiu murmured a little, looking around and discovering an altar. "Teleportation Formation!" Ye Qiu immediately recognized the altar as a hidden teleportation formation, which seemed capable of transmitting to the moon from here. Scanning the area, Ye Qiu set up another formation around the teleportation formation, then placed top-grade crystal stones quickly, enabling the formation to operate at any moment smoothly, and cast a formation spell into it. The altar then vanished, completely concealed by Ye Qiu’s formation. Ye Qiu was protecting the altar so that in the future, if there was a need to go to the moon, he could teleport from here. After finishing everything, Ye Qiu called Caine, and they leaped down from the peak. Upon reaching the base of the mountain, Ye Qiu learned the mountain peak they had just been on. It turned out to be Song Mountain, one of the Five Great Mountains. In China, Song Mountain is a sacred place, home to the world-famous Shaolin Temple. While walking down the path at the foot of the mountain, Ye Qiu and Caine could occasionally see monks descending the mountain. The current time on Earth was around seven in the evening, the season transitioning from summer to fall, with long daylight hours and a lingering heat. Caine was curious about everything, much like the Purple Gold Mouse was before; Ye Qiu thought it might be good to let the Purple Gold Mouse answer all of Caine’s queries. These two fascinated with the modern world would undoubtedly find a lot of common ground. After figuring out their location, Ye Qiu took Caine back to Zhongshan City overnight. Ye Qiu found that Jin Shanshun and Qin Feng and the others were not there. "Could these guys be seeking the sealers?" Before leaving, he had instructed them to continue finding the sealers, preferably eliminating them all before the alien martial artists awakened, to prevent them from threatening Earth’s humanity after awakening. Ye Qiu took out his phone to contact Jin Shanshun, but it was unexpectedly turned off. Unable to find the three, Ye Qiu decided not to search further and planned to ask the old pervert the next day, as the Dragon Group people should be acting together with Jin Shanshun and them. Caine was touching this and that, always managing to find something intriguing. Ye Qiu didn’t bother to intervene, allowing Caine to study the things on his own. It had been a long time since Ye Qiu could properly rest, especially on the moon, always searching for a way out, followed by battling that old person. Now, finally safe, Ye Qiu relaxed completely, quickly drifting into a deep sleep. Ye Qiu awoke early in the morning to find Caine sitting on the sofa, watching television continuously, clearly captivated by modern technology and deeply in love with TV. Ye Qiu scratched his head, thinking if the television could introduce Caine to human society, it might be a good idea, so he let him be. After dialing a string of numbers, Ye Qiu heard the old pervert’s voice. "You little brat?" The old pervert’s tone was evidently questioning. "Old pervert, just a few days without meeting, have you forgotten your disciple’s voice already?" Ye Qiu replied. "You little brat finally showed up." The old pervert on the other end let out a breath of relief. Ye Qiu briefly recounted his experiences of being taken to the moon by those devotees, leaving the old pervert dumbfounded. "You’re not telling me a story, are you?" The old pervert found it somewhat uncanny, not quite believing it. Ye Qiu was quite helpless: "Old pervert, would I lie to you? Okay, let’s not talk about this, where did my followers go, and are they with the Dragon Group?" Speaking of Jin Shanshun, Qin Feng, and Purple Gold Mouse, the old pervert frowned: "Weren’t they looking for you?" "That’s right, they took some of the materials you had taken from me and likely followed the clues to find you." The old pervert explained. Back then, when Jin Shanshun and others came to the Dragon Group base, they thought Ye Qiu’s disappearance was not simple, and the old pervert also hoped Ye Qiu was safe, so he gave them the materials. Ye Qiu didn’t say much more, hanging up the phone. Jin Shanshun and the others were looking for him, having only two clues, one regarding Atlantis and the other, God. Atlantis was hard to locate by people, and Ye Qiu had already reached an agreement with it. Even if they entered Atlantis, the three would still be safe. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel-fire.ɴet Ye Qiu considered the worst-case scenario; perhaps they went to the Vatican to search for information from God about him, Ye Qiu. Ye Qiu’s face turned grave; even he was tricked by God and those followers, surely Jin Shanshun and the other two wouldn’t stand a chance against them. Without delay, Ye Qiu called Caine and headed straight for the Vatican. This time, he intended to settle the score with God, mainly focusing on those cardinals. A cold glint flashed in Ye Qiu’s eyes as he traversed the skies. When Ye Qiu and Caine arrived at the Vatican, Ye Qiu’s spiritual power enveloped the entire Vatican, ensuring not even an ant could escape his spiritual probe. Suddenly, Ye Qiu’s spiritual power detected the presence of Jin Shanshun, Qin Feng, and the Purple Gold Mouse. In a flash, Ye Qiu and Caine darted toward the trio. Moments later, Ye Qiu appeared in front of them. "Shanshun, Qin Feng!" Ye Qiu called out. "Young Master." Jin Shanshun, Qin Feng, and the Purple Gold Mouse were initially taken aback upon seeing Ye Qiu, but soon their faces broke into smiles. "Congratulations, Young Master." Jin Shanshun and the others congratulated Ye Qiu with joy. Just as Ye Qiu was about to leave with them, a crowd of people suddenly emerged from all around. These individuals were strangers to Ye Qiu, but their attire was oddly familiar. They were God’s followers. Priests in black, white, and red robes. "Young Master, let me handle these people," Jin Shanshun voluntarily stepped forward. Ye Qiu was surprised to see Jin Shanshun, then noticed Qin Feng was eager to act. After pondering for a moment, Ye Qiu nodded in approval. Jin Shanshun stepped forward, facing the priests with a peculiar smile. "Young Master, watch how I lay them all down." Jin Shanshun was gathering energy, preparing for a furious strike. At this moment, the followers all rushed toward Jin Shanshun. Immediately afterward, Jin Shanshun struck, having gathered ample energy in his hand, reaching its peak, releasing it before him with explosive force. Yet, Jin Shanshun’s attack was not targeted at the followers in front of him; rather, it was directed at his Young Master, Ye Qiu! Jin Shanshun swiftly turned, launching a sharp strike that caught the unprepared Ye Qiu by surprise, overwhelming him with the assault.
