Chapter 2105 - 2106: Trouble Strikes Again!
The two groups each rode their flying treasures towards Star River Ancient City.
Cain didn’t come to provoke him, making Ye Qiu quite satisfied. It seemed that the power he displayed yesterday had intimidated the other party.
Just like that, the two groups proceeded without incident, moving forward constantly until they arrived at Star River Ancient City.
After arriving at the ancient city, Ye Qiu followed the Turquoise Pool to exchange military merit points. Compared to the young abyssal demon kings Ye Qiu had killed before, this time they had only slain ordinary abyssal demons, so the military merit points exchanged were not much.
About forty thousand or so.
Cain was surprised when he saw Ye Qiu and the others only exchanged forty thousand points. He thought to himself, "Did I misjudge him? Is he just all flash and no substance? With so few military merit points, his strength doesn’t seem that great."
Initially, Cain was wary of Ye Qiu because he had shown a glimpse of his strength. But now, seeing the military merit points Ye Qiu exchanged, he started to doubt himself, wondering if he had thought too much.
Perhaps Ye Qiu’s strength wasn’t as formidable as he had imagined; maybe he was scaring himself for nothing.
If that’s the case, Cain would become the laughing stock.
His expression shifted, and a companion beside him understood instantly, saying to the Turquoise Pool, "Fairy of the Turquoise Pool, your gains from this demon hunt seem a bit lacking. Why not join our team? Partnering with weaker ones will only hold you back."
Although he was addressing the Turquoise Pool, Ye Qiu could hear the hidden mockery aimed at him.
Jin Shanshun and Qin Feng were immediately displeased and chimed in, "So what if you exchanged for more military merit points than us? We only got so few because there weren’t enough abyssal demons for us to kill. Otherwise, fifteen thousand military merit points would be a piece of cake for us."
Seeing that Ye Qiu didn’t speak but instead the two Gui Xu realms did, the person sneered, "I’m not saying anything, but what’s important in a team is balanced strength. Look at you, your strengths vary greatly. In the team of the grand Fairy of the Turquoise Pool, there are even two Gui Xu realms. Those forty thousand military merit points must mostly be her doing."
Jin Shanshun and Qin Feng frowned simultaneously. Was this guy trying to provoke them?
Cain was very pleased with his companion’s words, as they shamed Ye Qiu and added a layer of sarcasm.
"Qin Feng, Shanshun, why bother arguing with some random nobodies barking at us? If they want to bark, let them." At this moment, Ye Qiu spoke, instantly making Cain’s companion’s face turn sour.
"How dare you insult me?"
"You insinuate against me, am I not allowed to retort?" Ye Qiu said softly.
He thought Cain would stop causing trouble, but unexpectedly, they still came to provoke him. Although it wasn’t Cain himself, but someone next to him, Ye Qiu could clearly see that this was entirely Cain’s instigation.
Since they dared to provoke him, Ye Qiu had no reason to show a smiling face.
He couldn’t remain silent even after becoming a Supreme Saint. As a strong individual, the others should watch his expression, not the other way around.
If Cain doesn’t know pain, today he’ll make him understand what suffering is.
"Boy, you’re asking for it!" This person was hot-tempered, and with Ye Qiu’s provocation, he was ready to strike.
Ye Qiu watched him quietly, unconcerned.
"I really want to see where your confidence comes from." This person clenched his fists and was about to charge at Ye Qiu when a voice rang out.
"So here you are, I finally found you!"
This was a voice filled with anger and coldness, accompanied by a powerful aura!
Saint!
The man was just about to attack Ye Qiu but noticed the sudden presence locking onto Ye Qiu, obviously directed at him.
He paused, thinking he could wait since someone else was going to handle Ye Qiu. Cain looked over, thinking there was no need to test Ye Qiu’s skills anymore.
With the mighty Saint aura locking onto him, Ye Qiu only furrowed his brows a bit before shifting his gaze.
A youth with a handsome face and sharp eyes, giving off an impression of being razor-sharp, came into Ye Qiu’s sight.
Hongyuan Holy Son!
Ye Qiu was not unfamiliar with this face; he had personally captured him once.
Hongyuan Holy Son came looking, undoubtedly for what Ye Qiu did to Zhang Yunhu, one of the Five Tiger Generals.
Sure enough, behind the Hongyuan Holy Son was Zhang Yunhu, no longer deranged, glaring venomously at Ye Qiu.
Beside Zhang Yunhu were several other figures, not weak in aura, also in the Saint Realm, presumably the other four Tigers among the Five Tiger Generals.
Hongyuan Holy Son came to question and seek revenge for Zhang Yunhu.
With his arrival and animosity towards Ye Qiu, many passing martial artists displayed interest.
Most recognized Hongyuan Holy Son, knowing him as the captain of the Fengshen Squad, known for slaying numerous abyssal demons, ranking high on the military merit leaderboard.
Though not among the absolute elites, he was considered amongst the strong second tier.
"Who is this person? I’ve never seen him before."
"Haven’t you heard? One of the Fengshen Squad’s Five Tigers, Zhang Yunhu, had his Dantian destroyed by someone, and Hongyuan Holy Son came to target that person, likely related to this incident."
"Could this person have been the one who destroyed Zhang Yunhu?"
"That seems to be the case; otherwise, Zhang Yunhu wouldn’t be glaring at him so fiercely."
The surrounding martial artists murmured. Actually, the news of Ye Qiu destroying Zhang Yunhu’s Dantian spread half an hour after it happened, known by many, but few knew it was Ye Qiu, and having just arrived at Star River Ancient City, few had seen him, only those present at the time recognized Ye Qiu’s appearance.
As a result, people had a vague concept of Ye Qiu, having heard his name but not seen him.
"I’ve heard from some that a master saved the Turquoise Pool and arrived here, quite formidable, should be him." someone added.
At this moment, Cain was particularly pleased, having unexpectedly found that Hongyuan Holy Son was targeting Ye Qiu.
The Fengshen Squad owed its fame to Hongyuan Holy Son, widely known. He was practically the top figure below those peak prodigies.
With such a strong person targeting Ye Qiu for him, it was perfectly suited.
This way, Cain wouldn’t need to act, preserving his strength, without any loss.
"Having neutralized one of the Five Tiger Generals, Hongyuan Holy Son won’t let it go. Let’s see how you resolve this." Cain internally laughed arrogantly, thinking Ye Qiu might be publicly humiliated by Hongyuan Holy Son, thus making Ye Qiu a complete joke in the eyes of the Turquoise Pool.
"Really looking forward to it!"
