Chapter 1360: Chapter 1360: Too Many Stalkers Waiting in the Wings! The Qing Wu Holy Son was done snatching, which greatly shocked him; turns out she was disguised as a man. No wonder her followers were all women. Ye Qiu only realized the reasoning behind it afterward. “Next up are the Sword Infant Holy Son and the Carefree Holy Son.” Ye Qiu sat on a tree trunk, planning his next target. From the Qing Wu Holy Son, he had snatched over a hundred beast pills. Adding the fifty he originally had, he had nearly two hundred pills. Although the number was quite a lot, it was still far from reaching the top five. “Hopefully, the two remaining holy sons have plenty of beast pills. Otherwise, a tough battle is imminent!” Ye Qiu sighed, carefully storing the beast pills again before jumping down from the tree to begin gathering information about the Sword Infant Holy Son and the Carefree Holy Son. In their quest to rank in the top five, the Sword Infant Holy Son and the Carefree Holy Son had been fighting continuously these days, pillaging beast pills from others. Furthermore, to avoid encountering the likes of the Taiyi Holy Son, the two had teamed up to face enemies together and split the beast pills evenly. Upon hearing the two holy sons were together, Ye Qiu frowned, as this made it challenging for him to make a move. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by NoveI[F]ire.net However, after a thought, “Since they’re together, I can deal with both at once, no need to look everywhere,” After pondering for a while, Ye Qiu decided to take action. The Elder Wooden Sovereign perished at his hands, and against mere seventh and eighth-ranked holy sons, even if they teamed up, he had nothing to fear. Ye Qiu was quite confident in his strength. Even if the opponent was an extraterrestrial power or a holy son-like existence, he believed he could defeat them. Throughout his journey, Ye Qiu had encountered numerous powerful foes, turning the tables countless times under disadvantageous situations, defeating the strong with the weak. Therefore, he wasn’t worried about the alliance of the Carefree Holy Son and the Sword Infant Holy Son. When Ye Qiu first encountered the two holy sons, they were bullying some weaker holy sons into handing over their beast pills. “A hundred and fifty in total. Seventy-five for you, seventy-five for me.” The Sword Infant Holy Son tossed half of the beast pills to the Carefree Holy Son. “It’s a pity there are too few weaker holy sons, otherwise we could have cooperated for a long time,” lamented the Carefree Holy Son. The Sword Infant Holy Son laughed and said, “Carefree, with our current speed, relying only on robbing these weaklings’ beast pills won’t catch up with those few. Perhaps we should take a risk; otherwise, without entering the next layer, the treasure will drift further out of reach!” “But those guys are not to be trifled with. The Carefree Holy Son expressed concerns. “The Taiyi Holy Son is untouchable; nobody knows just how strong that guy is.” “But don’t forget, among the remaining few, we might have a chance if we team up.” “First of all, that red-clothed fairy, her identity is mysterious, and we can’t find her. However, finding the others isn’t hard. If we can rob one, then we have a chance to enter the next layer,” the Sword Infant Holy Son continued. The Sword Infant Holy Son looked strange, with a big head and a relatively short figure. Yet, with a child-like body carrying a large sword, he earned the title of Sword Infant Holy Son. The Carefree Holy Son was tempted, “That’s not a bad idea.” “The Demon Lord Holy Son is now ranked fifth, but don’t forget, he is ranked second among the ten holy sons. I sense he’s hiding his power. The next weaker ones are the Donghua Holy Son and the Turquoise Pool Holy Maiden.” “Are you thinking of targeting the Turquoise Pool Holy Maiden?” the Carefree Holy Son asked. The Sword Infant Holy Son shook his head, “That woman is extraordinary. She never showed her true strength back when the ten holy sons ranked. We can’t underestimate her.” “Then that leaves the Donghua Holy Son,” the Carefree Holy Son said. The Sword Infant Holy Son shook his head again. “Whom are we dealing with then?” the Carefree Holy Son was puzzled. If not these people, who could it be? The Sword Infant Holy Son laughed, “Carefree, it seems you forgot someone…” “Hmm? Who is it? Could it be…” The Carefree Holy Son suddenly realized he had indeed overlooked someone. “The Hongyuan Holy Son?” “Exactly!” The Sword Infant Holy Son nodded this time, “Think about it, the Hongyuan Holy Son is ranked fifth among the ten holy sons, but now he’s not in the top five. One spot is occupied by the red-clothed fairy, and with the current growth rate of her beast pills, she is unlikely to drop from the second spot. So, for the Hongyuan Holy Son to get into the top five, he must strive to gather beast pills. The number of beast pills on him must be closest to the current Demon Lord Holy Son. If we snatch the beast pills from the Hongyuan Holy Son, we’ll be closer to the top five.” “It’s also good to target the Hongyuan Holy Son. This guy’s strength isn’t much higher than ours. Besides, with the two of us teaming up, we have a pretty good chance.” The Carefree Holy Son agreed with the Sword Infant Holy Son’s idea. The duo decided to target the Hongyuan Holy Son. In the shadows, Ye Qiu had listened to the conversation clearly. He decided to hold off his action temporarily, waiting for these two to fight the Hongyuan Holy Son before making his move. This time, he was going to play the role of a yellow bird following behind the mantis and the cicada. The Great Turtle Breath Evasion Technique operated constantly, unbeknownst to the Carefree Holy Son and the Sword Infant Holy Son, Ye Qiu was in the shadows, observing them. After the Carefree Holy Son and the Sword Infant Holy Son rested for half a day, only three days remained until the month’s end. “Ready to make a move?” Ye Qiu opened his eyes, and before standing up, noticed the Carefree Holy Son and the Sword Infant Holy Son swiftly departing from their original spot, heading to a new location at high speed. In a flash, Ye Qiu immediately followed but without getting too close to avoid being detected by the two. Although fearless, he wanted to be the yellow bird behind the mantis at least and not expose himself prematurely. Ye Qiu was unsure how strong the fifth-ranked holy son was but by watching the Carefree Holy Son and the Sword Infant Holy Son in action, he could estimate the strength level of the other holy sons. Following for half a day, Ye Qiu discovered that by trailing the duo, they had ventured into a canyon. Ye Qiu hurriedly steadied himself, not moving further as the Carefree Holy Son and the Sword Infant Holy Son suddenly stopped too and hid themselves. “Have these two guys found the Hongyuan Holy Son?” Ye Qiu thought, then activated his x-ray vision to look ahead. In the canyon, Ye Qiu saw several figures engaged in battle. “It’s that false god!” Ye Qiu was surprised to find that those fighting were Shangdi and his six heavenly angel subordinates, who were currently engaged with a young man—the Hongyuan Holy Son. “Who would have thought that someone found the Hongyuan Holy Son before us,” the Sword Infant Holy Son said casually. “That’s fine. We’ll wait until they’ve exhausted their strength and then play the role of the yellow bird catching the mantis. Isn’t that wonderful?” the Carefree Holy Son chuckled. “The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the yellow bird behind; a little yellow bird role is fine.” The two exchanged a meaningful look, continuing to watch the battle from the shadows, oblivious that a bigger yellow bird was viewing them as the mantis.
