Chapter 1380: Chapter 1380: Attraction! Four Updates The Holy Son of Taiyi smiled faintly, the crucial blood was already in his hands, and Ye Qiu was no longer of use to him. However, after hesitating for a moment, he still quickly pursued. The Holy Son of Taiyi wanted to understand the power Ye Qiu possessed, which could rival the power of the Dao. “Huh?” As soon as the Holy Son of Taiyi began chasing, before two breaths had passed, he suddenly realized Ye Qiu had vanished without a trace, causing him to be greatly surprised. The Holy Son of Taiyi naturally didn’t believe Ye Qiu could escape in such a short time. He scanned the area with his spiritual power, thoroughly checking everything within sight, and furrowed his brows: “He really isn’t here!” “I don’t believe you can really disappear completely.” The Holy Son of Taiyi’s eyes shifted, and he immediately launched a destructive attack on the trees before him, intending to force Ye Qiu out. According to his guess, Ye Qiu must be nearby, and the reason he hadn’t been discovered was because of some special method of concealment, capable of evading spiritual detection, which was quite unexpected for the Holy Son of Taiyi. Meanwhile, the Holy Son of Taiyi called out to those around him who were watching, allowing them to search for Ye Qiu’s whereabouts. Should anyone find him, there would be a significant reward. Instantly, many people rushed into the forest, searching everywhere for signs of Ye Qiu. The Holy Son of Taiyi stood in front of the forest, constantly monitoring the scene within, ready to rush over at the sight of Ye Qiu. Not long after, a jade slip lit up with a message from the Demon Lord Holy Son and the Turquoise Pool Saintess. They inquired about Ye Qiu’s situation and, upon hearing that the Holy Son of Taiyi had just battled with Ye Qiu, they rushed over. The Holy Son of Dong Hua’s face was sullen, sitting on the ground absorbing nature’s spiritual energy to restore his strength. By the time the Demon Lord Holy Son and the Turquoise Pool Saintess arrived, despite many searching for Ye Qiu, they still couldn’t find him, and even the Holy Son of Taiyi eventually gave up. Afterward, the four gathered together again. After briefly concluding the battle events, the Demon Lord felt a bit regretful for not witnessing Ye Qiu’s embarrassed state, while the Turquoise Pool Saintess showed a peculiar expression upon hearing that Ye Qiu had escaped seriously injured. News that the Red-Clothed Fairy was a little girl also caused both the Demon Lord Holy Son and the Turquoise Pool Saintess to be astonished. They had thought the Red-Clothed Fairy was someone significant, able to consistently rank among the top, only to find out she was a little girl and an earthling to boot. The Demon Lord Holy Son repeatedly lamented not getting to see the Red-Clothed Fairy with his own eyes. As the Turquoise Pool heard the Holy Son of Dong Hua’s description of the Red-Clothed Fairy, she recalled that little girl she once made a bet with, realizing it was likely the same person, “If it’s that peculiar figure, then it’s no wonder.” The Turquoise Pool Saintess remembered the scene of being pestered by her and having to take out a treasure, realizing that the little girl was indeed an oddball. Entering the top five was hopeless for the Holy Son of Dong Hua, and he no longer had hopes of competing for the sacred treasure. “Competing for the sacred treasure is up to you now; just don’t let that earthling take it away.” The Holy Son of Dong Hua spoke, still somewhat irked about the beast pill being snatched. Regardless if it was the Beast God, Ye Qiu, or Luo Fu, he hated them all. As long as the sacred treasure belonged to any of the Holy Sons, he would definitely have a chance to avenge today’s humiliation. “What a pity, I didn’t get to encounter that earthling.” The Demon Lord Holy Son felt somewhat regretful, wishing if he encountered Ye Qiu, he would certainly strike him down hard. Just then, the Turquoise Pool Saintess’s expression froze; she suddenly said: “I’ve been knocked out of the top five!” The Demon Lord Holy Son showed an expression of surprise, and the Holy Son of Dong Hua gritted his teeth: “It’s that Luo Fu guy who took Turquoise Pool’s place.” The Demon Lord checked the rankings and found it true; Turquoise Pool had been in fifth place, now replaced by Luo Fu. “He took my beast pill, that damn guy.” The Holy Son of Dong Hua’s face turned grim. The Turquoise Pool Saintess was quite vexed. While it wasn’t much for the Holy Son of Dong Hua to have his beast pill snatched, as he was already out of the top five, Turquoise Pool was different because she had consistently been in the top five. Squeezed out on the final day is quite frustrating. The Demon Lord Holy Son intended to comfort the Turquoise Pool Saintess, only to receive a big sidelong glance from her. The Demon Lord Holy Son shrugged his shoulders and said: “From the looks of it, those with the right to compete for the sacred treasure are me, Taiyi, and those three others.” In this final half-day, the chance for the Turquoise Pool Saintess to re-enter the top five was slim unless she could suddenly obtain more beast pills. However, neither the Demon Lord Holy Son nor the Holy Son of Taiyi would give their beast pills to Turquoise Pool to ensure their top five position because it would mean gaining another strong opponent. After all, these Holy Sons each had their own respective forces backing them, rather than being a united group. “Since the slots are decided, I’ll be leaving first.” said the Holy Son of Taiyi. On this last day, obtaining a large number of beast pills was impossible unless you encountered Ye Qiu, the Beast God, or others; otherwise, there would be no major changes in the top five positions. The Holy Son of Taiyi left without saying much. They were all on their own, and their temporary alliance was only for searching for Ye Qiu. The Demon Lord Holy Son received a small vial of Ye Qiu’s blood from Taiyi’s hand, which could be considered a key to competing for the sacred treasure. He didn’t linger by the Turquoise Pool Saintess’s side either, as in comparison, the sacred treasure was his priority. He intended to adjust his state and ascend to a higher position on Tai Mountain. The Turquoise Pool, and the Holy Son of Dong Hua, helplessly became bystanders, unable to vie for the sacred treasure; aside from helplessness, they could only feel regret, having wasted over a thousand years in vain. “Since I can’t compete for the sacred treasure, it seems I can only contact the sect. If the experts of my Turquoise Pool can descend in time, maybe they can still seize the treasure.” The Turquoise Pool Saintess didn’t fall into despair for being unable to compete for the sacred treasure; her gaze was bright, contemplating whether she could have the elders from her sect descend to Earth for an interception. As the several Holy Sons departed, others also left. A hand emerged from the soil, and soon, a figure appeared on the surface, brushing off the dust to reveal a handsome face. Ye Qiu indeed did not escape, nor did he go far, but hid underground, constantly using the Great Turtle Breath Evasion Technique, concealing all his aura, fooling everyone. Cough, cough… Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novel_fіre.net Ye Qiu coughed a few times, heavily wounded by the power of the Divine Dao. He quickly took out a few pills to start restoring his strength. Gradually, Ye Qiu’s face became flushed with vitality. “This Holy Son of Taiyi is certainly not weaker than that old geezer Mu Zun.” After recovering seventy to eighty percent of his strength, Ye Qiu moved his body slightly, recalling the scene of his previous confrontation with the Holy Son of Taiyi, having to admit that he was a very formidable opponent, not the slightest bit weaker than Elder Mu Zun. The Holy Son of Taiyi’s strength also posed considerable pressure on Ye Qiu’s competition for the sacred treasure. Despite this, Ye Qiu would not give up, as the sacred treasure concerned Earth’s fate, and no matter how strong the opponents, he still had to fight for it. He checked the rankings, seeing Luo Fu’s name at fifth was a relief, and the Beast God’s name hadn’t changed, indicating they were both fine. Next, he only needed to wait for this final half-day to end to head to higher ground. However, there was a doubt in Ye Qiu’s mind. When he previously operated the Six Paths Reincarnation Technique, there was a force invisibly pulling him in a certain direction. Ye Qiu looked toward that direction and ran the Six Paths Reincarnation Technique again, and that pulling sensation reappeared. “What is it?” Ye Qiu decided to go and have a look.
