Chapter 1278: Chapter 1278: All for One Man! (Fourth Update) Three Saint Heirs issued a challenge, attracting the attention of all martial arts enthusiasts. On the third day after the challenge was issued, the three Saint Heirs arrived. At the foot of Wangyue Peak, the area was instantly crowded; if it weren’t known that experts were about to duel here, the authorities of the Capital City would have probably sent a large force over. The entire area surrounding Wangyue Peak was cordoned off today, preventing any ordinary people from approaching. Numerous policemen were stationed, no more than two meters apart, guarding the area. Among them was Lin Qiao’er. If Ye Qiu were near the cordon, he would recognize many familiar faces; besides Lin Qiao’er, those policemen refined by Ye Qiu in the past were also present. For instance, ‘Guozi,’ who used to follow behind Lin Qiao’er, can now lead newcomers independently, having matured immensely, achieving multiple merits and solving numerous cases over the past two years. And then there’s Wei Zidong, who once considered Ye Qiu a rival and often gave Ye Qiu trouble, but now he’s remarkably steady; after executing this mission, he will enter the special forces for further honing. There are many other faces that were once subjected to Ye Qiu’s devilish training. Martial Artist duels, openly displayed, are not often seen, but now with the revival of Spiritual Energy, such confrontations have become quite common. Some ordinary people have stopped believing in superstitions, after all, Spiritual Energy has made many feel their bodies change; some ordinary people can achieve things that were previously impossible. Alongside Lin Qiao’er and others, a beautiful figure stood among the crowd, and this person was Mu Wanqing’s close friend, Ma Lingling. Looking at the many people drawn by Ye Qiu, Ma Lingling’s mind couldn’t help but recall her father’s words: “This Ye Qiu is sure to be an extraordinary person in the future; marrying him means our Ma family in the Capital City will be unopposed for a hundred years.” “But he’s the one my best friend loves, I can’t do that.” Ma Lingling refused. Even though she felt a bit of affection for Ye Qiu, she didn’t want any rift to surface between her and her friend over a man. Therefore, Ma Lingling never took her father’s persuasion seriously. Up till now, Ma Lingling is still single; perhaps she hasn’t found anyone better than Ye Qiu, a notion she cannot accept. Besides several women familiar with Ye Qiu, there are also members of the Iron Triangle family, and even the war god-level ancestor of the Xu family appeared here. Since the revival of Spiritual Energy, the war god-level ancestor of the Xu family hasn’t made further breakthroughs; his vitality is starting to wane, but being able to maintain his current level with Spiritual Energy is quite good. Feeling the aura of the three Saint Heirs, looking formidable and untouchable, the Xu family’s war god-level ancestor sighed, “I didn’t expect that, besides Ye Shao, there are so many exceptional juniors in this world; indeed, the old saying holds true, ‘Heroes emerge every generation, the new replace the old!’ In the invisible realm, the Xu family’s war god-level ancestor felt he had aged considerably, and his spine was no longer as upright. This yet-to-begin battle attracted numerous spectators. A larger scene than Ye Qiu’s previous battle against the four families’ war god-level experts. Ordinary people may not understand the existence of the Saint Heirs, but those trained in martial arts have heard about the sudden emergence of a group of young powerhouses, with the ones bearing the Saint Heir title being the strongest. Today, the three Saint Heirs will strike, aiming to duel with the world’s number one, Ye Qiu; this is sure to be an explosive confrontation, attracting countless martial artists to watch. Ye Qiu’s current reputation rivals the foundational figures in the martial arts world; his every move draws attention, let alone his intention to duel others; everyone wants to observe this battle. Besides many prominent figures from the Capital City, top fighters from all over the world also showed up, radiating a mysterious, chilling aura that kept others at bay. After a while, the three Saint Heirs appeared, yet Ye Qiu’s figure remained unseen, causing many Sealers to speak up, claiming Ye Qiu was afraid. If the three Saint Heirs dared to challenge Ye Qiu, their weakest must be stronger than the Ancient Flame Holy Son; otherwise, they would be inviting humiliation, so it’s understandable why many Sealers believe Ye Qiu is reluctant to appear. Responding to the Sealers’ remarks, martial artists refuted repeatedly, but unfortunately, Ye Qiu indeed did not appear, and lacking strength compared to these Sealers, the martial artists turned red-faced and fell silent, but kept staring at the water surface, believing Ye Qiu would definitely show up. “Has Ye Qiu lost his courage?” one Saint Heir, having waited too long, expressed anger. “With the three of us here, if he dares to come, it would mean he has guts, but in my view, this native does not possess such courage.” “I think issuing three challenges was unnecessary; to deal with him, only one of us is enough, why need three?” “Indeed, the three of us, which cannot easily defeat the Ancient Flame Holy Son; this Ye Qiu, relying on defeating the Ancient Flame Holy Son, arrogantly ordered us to come and die at any time, yet now we’ve come to send our deaths, he’s nowhere to be seen.” The discussions among the three Saint Heirs, though not loud, were clear to everyone, causing all Sealers to burst into laughter, belittling Ye Qiu incessantly. At this moment, a soft rebuke was heard, faintly countering: “The duel hasn’t started yet, and you’re already humiliating someone ; what if your supported Saint Heir loses? How would you end it, find a crack to crawl into?” This sarcastic remark immediately drew public attention and gasps. Because along with this soft rebuke came a group of stunning figures. The rightful source is nοvelfire.net Leading them was Shangguan Mingyue, flanked by Shen Mengchen and Mu Wanqing, with Lin Qiao’er nearby, even Fang Sijie and her daughter Yinyin stood behind the several ladies. This group of beautiful women together was lethal, even for those Saint Heirs sealed for thousands of years, making quite an impact. “Who are these women? Why are they speaking for Ye Qiu?” Some Sealers found the ladies quite attractive, developing affection, and couldn’t help but inquire. “They are closely related to Ye Qiu, apparently as his confidants.” “What? Ye Qiu has so many confidants?” Upon hearing this, many Sealers couldn’t help but show envy and jealousy. Especially Shangguan Mingyue, indescribably beautiful, even captivating the three Saint Heirs. “This Ye Qiu is really lucky to have so many angels favor him,” a Saint Heir said, slightly irritated. “All the more reason we should kill him,” another Saint Heir said, rubbing his hands eagerly. The appearance of the women heightened the killing intent of the three Saint Heirs towards Ye Qiu. Just as the three prepared to stop idle waiting and ascend Wangyue Peak. A figure slowly walked over the water surface.
