Supernatural Insight Eyes

Chapter 2110 - 2111: A Subtle Clue!

"Have there been any major events in the ancient city while I’ve been away these past few days?"

Standing there, a young man in white spoke slowly. He was graceful and as radiant as a star, resembling the sun and moon. It was as if he was naturally the center of attention, with both looks and charisma that set him apart from ordinary people.

Such a person seemed to have stepped out of a fairy tale, somewhat unreal, yet was vividly present before them.

"During the days you’ve been in seclusion, no major events transpired in the ancient city, mostly trivial matters, though there’s been one person who has emerged unexpectedly, being talked about by many, suggesting he might be at the Supreme Saint level," said Futian.

If anyone witnessed this scene, they would be astonished. Who is Futian? He’s known as a true first-tier prodigy, regarded by many as exceptionally talented and ranked among the top in various military merit points lists. However, this unparalleled genius addressed another young man as ’master’.

It’s truly incomprehensible.

The person whom Futian submitted to is naturally recognized throughout the ancient city as the foremost figure, the Taiyi Holy Son.

Recalling the conquest of Futian, the Taiyi Holy Son’s eyes flashed with a memory of their duel, which remains unknown to outsiders. To this day, everyone still believes they are rivals rather than having a superior-subordinate relationship.

In the ancient city, based on his strength and talent, Futian was undoubtedly a proud figure, but having lost to the Taiyi Holy Son, and not being killed, he chose to follow him.

Even the small demon-slaying squad he formed serves the Taiyi Holy Son.

After hearing from Futian about the emergence of a new Supreme Saint-level expert in the ancient city, the Taiyi Holy Son became intrigued. "Tell me about this person."

"Master, this person actually has some connection to you," Futian said, piquing the Taiyi Holy Son’s interest further. He replied calmly, "A connection to me? I’m curious."

"He is called Ye Fentian, recently rose to prominence. More precisely, it’s been less than five days since he entered the ancient city. During this time, he reportedly rescued the Yaochi Son of Saints, killing a young king-level abyssal demon."

"Is that all?" The Taiyi Holy Son asked indifferently. Merely killing a young king-level abyssal demon might be astonishing to others, but for someone of his stature, slaying an adult king-level abyssal demon is trivial. He naturally didn’t pay any heed to a young demon.

In Taiyi’s presence, Futian softened his once sharp aura, appearing more gentle, and continued, "Let me give you a detailed account. Just two days ago, within the ancient city, this person incapacitated one of the Five Tiger Generals from the Fengshen squad, the Hongyuan Holy Son, who you know."

"The Five Tiger Generals? Heh... Mere ants," Taiyi chuckled, unconcerned.

"Ye Fentian confronted the Five Tiger Generals, disabling one of their Dantians in a single move. Subsequently, the Hongyuan Holy Son, accompanied by the remaining four Tiger Generals, approached, but even together, they couldn’t withstand a single move from Ye Fentian, and all had their Dantians crippled, reducing the Five Tiger Generals to paper tigers."

The Taiyi Holy Son didn’t find such matters worthy of his attention.

"Afterwards, the Hongyuan Holy Son took action, and master, you?"

"He was defeated?"

Futian nodded, "Although I wasn’t present, I inquired about the detailed exchange, and it can be said that Ye Fentian swiftly countered, causing the Hongyuan Holy Son to immediately lose, being hurled like a toy toward the ground. If it weren’t for the appearance of the enforcer, the Hongyuan Holy Son might have been killed."

Oh?

The enforcer’s involvement caused a slight change in the Taiyi Holy Son’s expression. In his heart, the enforcer held special significance because he knew their fearsome power. Even though the Taiyi Holy Son disregarded peers, he dared not underestimate the enforcer.

Such a strong foe was beyond his current match.

"I don’t seem to have heard any connection between him and me," the Taiyi Holy Son said, having listened for long without sensing any connection.

However, after Futian’s next words, the Taiyi Holy Son hesitated.

"He also hails from the ancestral homeland?"

At this point, the Taiyi Holy Son understood why Futian mentioned they had a connection; they came from the same ancestral homeland.

"A Loose Cultivator from my ancestral homeland can defeat Hongyuan with ease. Interesting," the Taiyi Holy Son displayed a hint of curiosity.

"Master, are you interested in him? If so, I could help you subdue him, letting him work for you," Futian offered.

After some contemplation, Taiyi nodded, "Alright, if he can be of use to me, some tasks wouldn’t require my personal involvement, moreover..."

The Taiyi Holy Son’s gaze flickered, harboring a grand ambition: if he could sway several Supreme Saint-level peers, perhaps he could venture deeper.

No one knew of the Taiyi Holy Son’s audacious thought. His interest had shifted from king-level abyssal demons to emperor-level ones.

Slaying an emperor-level abyssal demon would yield tremendous military merit points, and most importantly...

The Taiyi Holy Son recalled the words of an elder from his sect: Xinghe Ancient City held an exceptional status, which even a colossal entity like the Heavenly Palace dared not underestimate.

Even his Taiyi Sect would be overshadowed.

Because Xinghe Ancient City harbors a living legend, a living myth who still lives after tens of thousands of years, incredibly daunting. If he, Taiyi, could exhibit extraordinary prowess, it might attract that existence’s attention, as that being still hasn’t taken a disciple, reaching the twilight of his years, surely seeking a successor. If he, Taiyi, could become that disciple, eventually, he might govern Xinghe Ancient City, becoming its master.

By then, wouldn’t the Xinghe Path be Taiyi Sect’s backyard? Even the Heavenly Palace would show significant respect.

So, just as many people are striving to slay the Abyss Kings, the Taiyi Saint Heir’s gaze has already fallen upon the Emperor Abyss Demon.

It is precisely because Taiyi has such a goal and is working toward it, that other peer experts have already been left behind by him.

Even Futian, such an unparalleled figure, pales slightly in comparison to him.

"If you can subdue them, then do so; if they can’t be of use to me, find some way to nearly..." Taiyi Saint Heir didn’t continue, confident that the clever Futian knew what to do.

After giving his instructions, Taiyi Saint Heir left the Star River Ancient City alone to head to the Cosmic Abyss. There were things he needed to explore further and seek the traces of the Emperor Abyss Demon.

Ye Qiu’s reputation not only reached Taiyi and Futian, but also figures like Qing Lin and Stone Demon Lord were aware of such a person.

When Stone Demon Lord first heard the name Ye Fentian, he was initially stunned, feeling the name was familiar. But the next moment, he remembered; wasn’t this Ye Fentian the very same Loose Cultivator Ye Fentian?

When he intentionally inquired about it, he felt complicated inside; it really was that Loose Cultivator.

"Actually making it to the Star River Road, and even the Hongyuan Holy Son isn’t your opponent?" Stone Demon Lord had previously been unable to gain any advantage over Ye Qiu. Now, hearing that Ye Qiu had arrived in the ancient city, a sly smile appeared on his face. Now there’s a chance to deal with him.

At the same time, Qing Lin, one of the young kings on the first tier, also received the report from his subordinates.

"Ye Fentian... Ye Fentian... Haha... Haha..."

Qing Lin’s behavior left all his subordinates puzzled, not understanding why their lord behaved so strangely.

......

Ancient City.

In a pavilion within the area of 500,000 Military Merit Points, the Hongyuan Holy Son had recovered. Although he was seriously injured at the time, his formidable strength allowed him to recover within a day.

After regaining his strength, the Hongyuan Holy Son did not make a fuss or rage, remaining incredibly quiet — eerily so.

He was now considered a joke within the ancient city; his Five Tiger Generals were crippled, and he was used as a stepping stone.

However, the Hongyuan Holy Son was not the same as before. Having perceived Ye Qiu’s formidable strength, he would not act impulsively, as that would only put him at a greater disadvantage.

He wouldn’t give up on revenge; the Hongyuan Holy Son not only wanted revenge but intended to repay it fiercely.

Since he couldn’t rely on force, the Hongyuan Holy Son planned to rely on strategy.

Even though the Five Tiger Generals had lost their martial prowess, they were still willing to serve the Hongyuan Holy Son and undertake tasks for him, and the Hongyuan Holy Son did not abandon them.

"My lord, what should we do? As long as we can get revenge, we’re willing to do anything," Zhang Yunhu and the others said in unison. They were willing to pay any price to revenge against Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu had destroyed their Dantian, severing their martial path. The difficulty in rebuilding it was immense, so naturally, the five were filled with intense hatred towards Ye Qiu, constantly thinking of revenge.

The Hongyuan Holy Son remained silent for a long time, continuously contemplating ways to avenge Ye Qiu. But one plan after another was rejected.

"Right, I previously overlooked some details, Yun Hu, why did Ye Fentian target you, and how did those two little ants end up aligning with Ye Qiu?" asked the Hongyuan Holy Son. It puzzled him after the fact; during the conflict, he noticed Jin Shanshun and Qin Feng but hadn’t given it much thought. At this point, when he reflected on it, he truly couldn’t figure out what dealings Ye Fentian could have had with them.

"My lord, back then it was that guy Jiang Yu who approached me, and I didn’t explain it clearly to you. Now that you mention it, I recall, I’ll call Jiang Yu over right away," Zhang Yunhu said.

Soon, Jiang Yu was called over and recounted the events truthfully. After listening, the Hongyuan Holy Son realized it was Ye Qiu who had suddenly intervened, saving Qin Feng and Jin Shanshun.

"These two ants are so loyal to that Ye, it’s truly unexpected..."

Suddenly, the Hongyuan Holy Son’s eyes flashed, his mind catching onto something he had previously overlooked.

"His surname is Ye?"

"Why did he save those two?"

"Those two ants, their expressions at the time, clearly like loyal servants."

"Ye Fentian... Ye Fentian... could it be..." A thought occurred in the Hongyuan Holy Son’s mind, so shocking he himself could hardly believe it.

If it were true, it would indeed astonish the entire ancestral land.

Investigate!

It must be investigated. If it turns out as he thought, then Ye Qiu would become the target for everyone in the ancestral land.

Revenge would be as simple as drinking cold water!

Excitement shot through the Hongyuan Holy Son’s eyes!
