Supernatural Insight Eyes-Chapter 1742: Dragon Head! Second Update

In front of flags crossed with a blade and sword, incense burners were lit, sending curling smoke upwards.

The room was filled with the scent of burning incense.

In this room, a dragon-head chair sat, and upon it, a man with a face full of scars, his age indistinguishable, bald yet covered with wounds, giving off an aura of fierceness.

"In a mere Qingfeng County, my Shadow associates keep dying one after another; who can give me a reasonable explanation?"

Before the man, four people knelt, silent as cicadas in winter, not daring to speak.

Shadow had repeatedly lost over twenty strong figures in Qingfeng County, a situation never seen before, wave after wave, prompting even the division leader to take notice.

"Leader, the Martial Artists we’ve sent were not weak. In Qingfeng County, aside from the three major sects, there was no one who could match them. But upon investigation, I found that our men’s deaths were unrelated to the three sects."

"Then who were they related to?"

"The matter stems from a former clash; our leader stationed in Qingfeng County sought to avenge our men at a fallen sect but vanished without a trace. We suspect it involves this sect, odd as it’s been in decline for years."

"Afterward, we sent more men, yet instead of targeting the sect, they ventured into the relics. Due to these relics, they never returned, making it likely they perished within, though finding out how they died is near impossible, with even their bodies missing."

"Then again, we sent more men, and once more, our men died. As for the cause of death..."

"Who exactly did it, speak."

"According to the sole survivor, it was a band of powerful and mysterious people, their exact identities unknown."

"After all that talk, you mean there’s no clue at all, right?" The leader was furious.

The others dared not speak further, sensing the leader teetering on the edge of anger, any further provocation would result in an instant outburst.

"The death of Shadow Martial Artists must be thoroughly investigated; this time, I will go personally. I want to see who continually targets my Shadow." The leader gripped the dragon head carved into the chair.

The leader personally acting was a significant matter for Shadow, even the headquarters were aware of this.

Qingfeng County.

At the Sky Star Sect, Wang Luoxing, Situ Rong, and two elders returned to the sect, reporting to the Sect Leader. The Sky Star Sect Leader’s expression froze: "Void Realm... It seems this Ye Fantian isn’t simple."

"Sect Leader, that man is extremely arrogant, insulting our Sky Star Sect with his words; he cannot be spared." Wang Luoxing stated. His hatred for Ye Qiu ran deep, having been humiliated in front of Hua Wuhun and Li Hanbing, and singing a ridiculous conquest song—a lifelong shameful memory.

"This Ye Fantian not only disregards us but shows no respect for our sect; I suggest, Sect Leader, declare war against Dan Shen Sect, otherwise as Dan Shen Sect grows stronger, they’ll only disdain us more." Situ Rong added fuel to the fire.

Ye Qiu clearly never uttered such words, yet the two didn’t care about that. Despite Ye Qiu being surrounded by strong figures, if the Sky Star Sect were determined to oppose Dan Shen Sect, even the Void Realm would be of no use.

"Did Ye Fantian really say this?" The Sky Star Sect Leader’s face showed a trace of anger.

"Indeed, otherwise we wouldn’t have acted, knowing he was protected by Void Realm experts." Wang Luoxing confirmed.

"What an audacious Ye Fantian, does he really think being an Alchemist allows him to overlook my Sky Star Sect?" The Sky Star Sect Leader was enraged, which delighted Wang Luoxing and Situ Rong. As long as the Sect Leader harbored animosity towards Ye Qiu, there would be attempts to deal with him.

Only with Ye Qiu dead could they vent their inner fury; otherwise, it would continually fester.

In Qingfeng County, numerous sects sent representatives to Dan Shen Sect, inviting Ye Qiu to visit. However, Ye Qiu stated he wouldn’t go, though he would perform Alchemy. Many people sent Spiritual Medicine, hoping Ye Qiu would assist in refinement.

Ye Qiu refined over ten batches of pills in one go; after receiving them, many people left joyously, greatly thanking Ye Qiu.

Of course, Ye Qiu only gave part of the refined pills to them, keeping the majority for Jin Xiaoshun, Hua Wuji, and the black cat and dog.

Ye Qiu left none, tossing the pills like candy, hoping the group would continue to enhance their abilities.

Jin Xiaoshun began consuming several pills at once, his face turning red, vital energy surging, and heat emanating from his forehead. Hua Wuji chuckled and cried at the sight; taking the pills this way, no doubt he’d burst. Hua Wuji promptly assisted him, helping Jin Xiaoshun digest the pill energy, and as expected, Jin Xiaoshun’s martial realm advanced from Force Stage to True Qi Stage.

Seeing True Qi manifest, with a flick of his finger, a jet of True Qi shot out, leaving a deep mark on a stone, Jin Xiaoshun was ecstatic.

The surrounding servants cheered, congratulating Steward Jin.

In Dan Shen Sect, even servants had a chance to obtain pills, provided they performed admirably.

"Sect Leader, should we recruit some disciples to expand our sect further?" After acclimating to his True Qi Stage power, Jin Xiaoshun got serious and discussed official matters.

Ye Qiu nodded in agreement; recruiting disciples ought to be prioritized. Regardless, Dan Shen Sect was ultimately an Alchemy sect. Currently, aside from him and Wu Yaizi being Alchemists, there wasn’t anyone else. Wu Yaizi was the old Sect Leader, and his Alchemy skills weren’t improving much. Ye Qiu was the Sect Leader as well; apart from them, there were no Alchemists, which was quite unbecoming for an Alchemy sect.

It’s better to train Alchemists early.

"Alright, make preparations, Jin Xiaoshun." Ye Qiu agreed; it’s time to recruit some disciples. Previously, few wanted to join Dan Shen Sect, but times had changed; Dan Shen Sect was on the path to resurgence, reclaiming its former glory bit by bit, undoubtedly attracting many to join.

Was this major responsibility handed to him? Jin Xiaoshun felt the weight of it and immediately said, "Sect Leader, I’m afraid I can’t accomplish this alone..."

Ye Qiu understood, and responded, "I know, I’ll have Wuji assist you. Obviously, recruiting disciples is a significant endeavor, and I’ll also be personally involved."

"That’s great, that’s great," Jin Xiaoshun rubbed his hands together, joyous.

"Oh, by the way, have the three major sects sent anyone these past days?" Ye Qiu suddenly asked.

Hua Wuji and Jin Xiaoshun shook their heads.

"Strange, the three major sects should want me at their sites, yet there’s no sound at all now." Ye Qiu frowned, perhaps because the matter of his Saint avatar was revealed, prompting caution among the three major sects?

Ye Qiu found it unlikely; the three sects supposedly had real Saints and wouldn’t fear his Saint avatar.

Ye Qiu fell into deep thought.
