Capítulo 1353: Chapter 1353: Covered in Scars! Second Update When the Taiyi Saint Heir arrived at the battlefield, he did not find the body of Elder Mu Zun, but the blood on the ground had not dried, and fragments of flesh could still be seen. Taiyi Saint Heir’s face was gloomy, and his gaze was filled with murderous intent. Elder Mu Zun was unexpectedly killed, even Taiyi Saint Heir hadn’t anticipated this. The Earth was nothing but a declining star, and ever since Ge Tian died suddenly, Earth’s martial arts had been in decline. Later, when they arrived here and fought with Earth’s powerful practitioners, they slaughtered all of them, nearly eradicating martial arts civilization. Even if there were some leftover cultivation techniques, they were insignificant techniques. Yet, in such a place, a strong figure at the elder level of his Taiyi Divine Sect had actually fallen. “Did you kill him?” Taiyi Saint Heir murmured. He didn’t mention the name of the person who killed Elder Mu Zun, but he knew who was most suspect. It was precisely because Elder Mu Zun went to chase Ye Qiu that he met his demise; certainly, Ye Qiu was involved in this matter. The Demon Lord Holy Son, Turquoise Pool Saint Heiress, Donghua Holy Son, and Hongyuan Holy Son were all shocked. How could they not suspect that Elder Mu Zun’s death was likely at the hands of Ye Qiu? A character considered a master in the ancestral land fell at Ye Qiu’s hands ? The Demon Lord Holy Son at least was unwilling to believe it, “That’s impossible; that guy is just a native. How could he possibly be a match for Elder Mu Zun?” The Turquoise Pool Saint Heiress’s eyes glimmered. If Elder Mu Zun was indeed killed by Ye Qiu, she would have to reevaluate Ye Qiu. Possessing such strength, he could definitely compete with these Saint Heirs, and even in the ancestral land, he would be a shining presence. “This guy always manages to bring a huge surprise,” sighed the Turquoise Pool Saint Heiress. The news of Taiyi Saint Heir’s Protector being killed spread rapidly within the Soldier Burial Formation, and the name Ye Qiu became ever more well-known among the Saint Heirs. A native killing a Protector; this was definitely big news. Taiyi Saint Heir was very angry. He didn’t want the news of Elder Mu Zun’s death to spread, but somehow it leaked, reaching everyone’s ears. After all, Elder Mu Zun was Taiyi Saint Heir’s Protector; his death was not a good thing for Taiyi Saint Heir—the fewer who knew, the better. Yet, things went contrary to his wishes; someone was deliberately fanning the flames in this matter. The one spreading this news was none other than Shang Di. On one hand, he wanted to weaken Taiyi Saint Heir’s power, and on the other, he wanted Taiyi Saint Heir to target Ye Qiu. Failing to kill Ye Qiu in the end was a regret, but based on the matter of Ye Qiu killing Elder Mu Zun, Taiyi Saint Heir certainly wouldn’t let Ye Qiu off lightly—there would definitely be a battle between them. This was exactly what Shang Di wanted. Whether due to Elder Mu Zun’s matter or over golden fragments, Ye Qiu and Taiyi Saint Heir’s confrontation was inevitable—a fact Shang Di had seen clearly a long time ago, so he didn’t mind stirring things up a bit. The death of Elder Mu Zun made many Saint Heirs reassess Ye Qiu; no one dared to underestimate this small native from Earth any longer. “In this case, too, Taiyi will certainly not let Ye Qiu go, and the death of Elder Mu Zun also increases our chances of seizing the supreme treasure,” thought the Demon Lord Holy Son. Otherwise, with Elder Mu Zun present, when the supreme treasure appeared, there would be no need for Taiyi to take action to seize it—Elder Mu Zun would act, and at that time, they, the several Saint Heirs, would not be able to oppose him. “Ye Qiu, I still have to thank you for removing an obstacle for me,” the Demon Lord said lightly. “This native must have used this place to suppress the Dantian and could not use Origin Power, otherwise he could not possibly have killed Elder Mu Zun,” said Donghua Holy Son. This made the Turquoise Pool and Hongyuan Saint Heirs fall into deep thought; the more they thought about it, the more they believed it to be true. “What a clever native; it seems we cannot overlook him,” said the Demon Lord Holy Son earnestly. When talking about Ye Qiu, he no longer showed disdain; from the fact that Ye Qiu could take down Elder Mu Zun, Ye Qiu’s strength warranted his attention. “Now, the Taiyi Saint Heir is frantically searching for him; I believe it won’t be long before he shows up.” After four days, Ye Qiu finally regained consciousness. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the Beast God staring at him intently and was startled. “Why are you here?” Ye Qiu asked in surprise. The Beast God appearing here was indeed too bizarre; hadn’t it repeatedly told him it did not want to get involved in this treasure-grabbing tussle? The Beast God’s little girl-like neck stiffened, “If I didn’t show up, you would have been killed by that bird-headed leader. Look at yourself, not only are you not grateful, but you also look all scared; did I frighten you?” Ye Qiu immediately put on a smiling face, “Nowhere, nowhere, the presence of the Beast God is just a bit unexpected.” Right after saying this, Ye Qiu felt like his whole body fell apart; his straightened body immediately collapsed. Seeing Ye Qiu in pain, grinning and baring his teeth, the Beast God laughed heartily, “Why are you moving around? Your muscles are injured and haven’t fully healed.” Ye Qiu remembered then; he had overexerted his physical strength, exhausting his body, and now began to face the consequences. Hurriedly, he took out a few pills from his Xumi bag to replenish himself, and after a while, Ye Qiu felt somewhat better, but full recovery would still take some more time. When the pain subsided, Ye Qiu asked about what happened after he fainted, only to realize how timely the Beast God’s appearance was. If not for the Beast God arriving, he would have long been killed by that pseudo-god Shang Di. “This despicable guy, I’ll knock him off his pedestal sooner or later,” Ye Qiu fumed with teeth-gnashing anger. Shang Di refrained from acting at the critical moment, which was bad enough, but to take advantage of the situation and try to kill him—luckily, his fate wasn’t sealed; otherwise, it would have been a most undeserved death. “You should thank your subordinates; if they hadn’t found me and implored me to come rescue you, I would never have entered this place. Now, thanks to you, I have offended that bird-headed leader,” the Beast God girl said. Ye Qiu rolled his eyes at the Beast God, noting from its demeanor that it clearly didn’t take Shang Di seriously. This made him realize the Beast God feared nothing. However, he did like the title ‘bird-headed leader’ and decided to use it when he next met Shang Di. “Your current state is weak; I see people searching for you everywhere, which probably relates to the person you killed. You should recover quickly; otherwise, I alone may not be able to protect you here,” the Beast God girl said more seriously. Ye Qiu nodded. To kill Elder Mu Zun, he had exhausted all means and strength and was almost drained by the other party. Fortunately, he won in the end and successfully finished off a strong elder-level opponent. Thinking of this, Ye Qiu felt some smugness. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on noᴠelfire.net A Protector had been taken down by him just like that.
