The Saint Sons’ Challenge! "And this guy can still rank in the top twenty?" Ye Qiu hearing Qin Feng mention the Ancient Flame Holy Son, didn’t think much of it. The Ancient Flame Holy Son was furious. What about him? If it wasn’t for Ye Qiu suddenly using such a powerful technique that made him afraid to take action, he wouldn’t have been defeated so quickly. "Hey, do you know anything about formations?" Ye Qiu asked. The Ancient Flame Holy Son ignored Ye Qiu, who then directly asked Qin Feng. Qin Feng shook his head, "Never heard that the Ancient Flame Holy Son knew anything about formations." "Then I can relax." Ye Qiu said, and began setting up a formation. In just a moment, a large formation was completed, directly throwing the Ancient Flame Holy Son into it. Clapping his hands, Ye Qiu was in a good mood, "Caught another one." His goal is to capture all the Saint Sons and make them his sparring partners, that would be great. As for other sealers aside from the Ancient Flame Holy Son, Ye Qiu didn’t pay attention to them, letting them go to spread his fame and attract more Saint Sons. Ye Qiu is going to establish a Saint Son Sparring Group, having caught only three Saint Sons so far, far from his goal. Of course, if he could catch a Saintess, that would be even better. The defeat of the Ancient Flame Holy Son at Ye Qiu’s hands quickly spread among the sealers, instantly startling many. The Ancient Flame Holy Son is not an average Saint Son; his strength may not be in the top but is within the top twenty, known among all Saint Sons. He is definitely stronger than the Youlan Sect Holy Son and the Banshan Sect Holy Son. Still, he couldn’t match Ye Qiu and was instead captured by Ye Qiu, pushing Ye Qiu back into the spotlight of discussion. On a famous mountain in China, a male from the True Dragon Sect showed a hint of surprise after hearing the news. According to his prediction, the Youlan Sect Holy Son should have been enough to defeat Ye Qiu, yet even the Ancient Flame Holy Son fell to him. "This earthling’s strength isn’t weak, huh." "Sir, will this earthling pose a threat to the competition for the treasure? If so, we should take action." A person standing beside the man said. "A mere earthling isn’t worth your attention. Many are likely interested in him now. The treasure’s emergence is imminent. We need to preserve our strength. If we expose ourselves because of an earthling, we may be attacked by many when the treasure emerges." the man said. "Our True Dragon Sect has the Ban Shan and Ban Tian two Saint Sons; everyone else is just an ant. The treasure must belong to the two lords." The man enjoyed hearing this, "I came out earlier than my brother precisely to avoid accidents, but this earthling doesn’t need to be feared. Our target is Ge Tian’s treasure, everything else is irrelevant." Follow current novᴇls on novel_fіre.net "Yes, Lord Ban Shan." "Continue observing the external developments and report any news about that Ye Qiu to me immediately." the man instructed. On the world’s highest peak, Mount Everest, covered in snow, there used to be many global experts training here. However, the harsh environment drove many away in just a few days after training. No one expected that on Mount Everest, there is an isolated area with no snow or cold. Despite modern society’s advancements, humans had not discovered this special area. This is not a small world, but an area isolated by a special formation, making it hard for ordinary people to find or enter. Within the formation lies a crystal coffin. A pale young man lies inside, appearing asleep. His heart beats very slowly, very slowly. A person in black enters through the formation. The person in black whispered something into the ear of an old man sitting by the crystal coffin, who then slowly opened his eyes. "Ye Qiu?" the old man murmured. "Lord, I think this Ye Qiu will become an obstacle for the Saint Sons and should be dealt with," the person in black said. The old man’s expression didn’t change, like a stone carving, with no extraneous expression. "In this world, those who can become the Saint Sons’ opponents are few. Do you think a planet where martial ways have collapsed would produce such a person?" "But, Ye Qiu has already consecutively defeated the Youlan Sect Holy Son and the Ancient Flame Holy Son. I’m afraid..." "There’s nothing to fear. Saint Sons won’t be defeated, and even if there is such an opponent, as the old servant, I won’t allow such a person to exist. Ye Qiu is just an earthling, nothing to worry about. If he can defeat a top ten Saint Son, then I will act and remove this obstacle for the Saint Son." the old man stated. "I understand, Lord." The person in black cupped his fists and withdrew. The old man looked at the crystal coffin, where lay his master, who was an esteemed Saint Son whom he, as the guardian, had to protect. The old man gazed outside the formation, murmuring, "The Saint Son’s opponent isn’t some earthling, nor other Saint Sons, but those powerful enough to cast their shadows across the universe. The Saint Son is destined to become the ruler of the galaxy." The defeat of the Ancient Flame Holy Son sent ripples of surprise beyond just one wave; aside from some who chose not to emerge, some Saint Sons wanted to act, to suppress Ye Qiu, declaring for Ye Qiu to keep his neck clean and wait at Moonwatch Peak, for they would pay a visit someday. Three Saint Sons simultaneously sent challenges. Many smelled the scent of battle, fearing that the treasure, yet to emerge, would spark an early war. Ye Qiu, as an earthling, defeated the sealers’ two Saint Sons in succession; this was humiliating to the sealers, more humiliating than killing them. Thus, many sealers hoped for more Saint Sons to act, ideally crushing Ye Qiu to restore the sealers’ proper prestige. In these sealers’ minds, Ye Qiu, the earthling, should only lose; victory should belong to the sealers. Perhaps this is a sense of superiority, as in the sealers’ eyes, they are alien warriors, and Earth is just a remote place, which should naturally be weak. This is why Ye Qiu defeating a Saint Son provoked more fury among the Saint Sons. The victories or losses among Saint Sons are one thing, but losing to someone from Earth is utterly disgraceful. In response to the three Saint Sons’ challenges, Ye Qiu retorted, "You’re always welcome to come and die!" These words once again elevated Ye Qiu’s arrogance to new heights. An earthling more arrogant than these sealers, how could that be tolerated? And people in the martial arts world who heard Ye Qiu’s response all gave him a thumbs up, hoping he’d fiercely teach those who stole their cultivation grounds a lesson. Instantly, all of China was filled with a tense atmosphere.
