Supernatural Insight Eyes

Huh?

As the figure in the black robe appeared in the courtyard, Ye Qiu’s gaze froze slightly.

This attire was not unfamiliar to him; previously, in Qingfeng County, he encountered the Black Sha Sect, dressed in this mysterious manner that hid their bodies under black robes.

Could Wan’er be someone from the Black Sha Sect?

Ye Qiu was unwilling to become hostile with the Black Sha Sect, because they were quite sinister; killing one of their members would imprint a mark that was extremely hard to remove.

"Father... save me..." Wan’er shouted for help upon seeing the person in the black robe. In terms of strength, Wan’er was no match for Ye Qiu; otherwise, she wouldn’t have immediately summoned her father.

Fortunately, he arrived in time, allowing Wan’er to relax.

With her father there, she was no longer in danger.

"Your father can’t protect you either." Ye Qiu hesitated momentarily, then continued his attack. How could he truly stop? Whether it was to save Tang Surou or prevent his true identity from being discovered, he must eliminate the trouble before him. Otherwise, his plan to hide quietly in the ancestral land would be completely ruined, and he would face pursuit from numerous major sects.

If it came to that, the ancestral land would no longer be a safe haven.

Ye Qiu’s hand was just about to grasp Wan’er’s neck; her expression turned fearful, but for some reason, as success neared, Ye Qiu suddenly retreated quickly, sensing a dangerous feeling.

At this moment, a ray of light suddenly appeared in front of Wan’er — it was a phantom.

The phantom was that of a Saint.

Wan’er’s face no longer held fear; instead, it was filled with a cold smile: "What a pity, you were almost killed by my father’s phantom."

Ye Qiu stared at the phantom. Just now, it truly was a matter of urgency; at the moment of near success, Ye Qiu felt nothing until his instincts suddenly warned him of danger, leading him wisely to retreat, which proved to be an absolutely correct choice.

Otherwise, he would surely have been attacked by the Saint’s phantom.

This Saint’s phantom was different from those encountered on Earth; its power remained undiminished, equivalent to the full strike of a Saint.

With the Saint’s phantom as protection, Wan’er essentially had an amulet, allowing her to approach the person in the black robe, standing behind him with some guilt: "Father, sorry, I couldn’t catch him."

"It’s not your fault; this kid is cunning. Being able to kill one of the top Saints in our ancestral land is no simple feat. It’s normal if you can’t catch him. With me here today, he won’t escape." The black-robed person said.

Ye Qiu looked at the father and daughter, realizing suddenly that the black-robed person hadn’t moved when he attacked Wan’er, indicating he knew Wan’er would be safe.

"Quite a calm fellow." Ye Qiu perceived that this adversary would be difficult to deal with.

Especially since the opponent was from the Black Sha Sect, such a sinister sect. Now he must oppose them.

He must eliminate these two, otherwise, his plan to remain discreet in the ancestral land would fail completely.

"Ye Qiu, Dugu Fentian, Ye Fentian — it’s all you." The black-robed person didn’t intend to attack Ye Qiu immediately; he was quite curious about Ye Qiu.

Though Ye Qiu was but a native from Earth, he stirred the ancestral land, prompting numerous strong figures to mobilize, yet none managed to kill him completely.

In the black-robed person’s view, Ye Qiu was too unique.

Alternatively, Ge Tian’s legacy was too powerful, igniting fervor in the black-robed person’s heart.

In the entire ancestral land, no one was uninterested in Ge Tian’s legacy — an existence almost reaching a higher level, not an ordinary Universal-level strong figure.

Ge Tian’s legacy prompted so many strong figures to act across the ancestral land; what if that legacy fell into his hands? Even if he couldn’t use it well, having it pass to Wan’er was still good.

Whatever the case, Ye Qiu’s legacy from Ge Tian must be obtained.

The black-robed person stared at Ye Qiu for a while before finally speaking: "Boy, if you surrender Ge Tian’s legacy, I can spare your life and offer you a chance to rise above, working for me."

"No need to hurry to answer; I know you’re now apprenticed to Zhuang Miao Shan, even a Pill Tower’s sixth elder, but don’t expect them to save you. From the moment I appeared here, this place has been isolated from the outside world; you can’t send any message out. Now, consider my offer seriously."

"Either surrender Ge Tian’s legacy, or choose death. You have half the time of a stick of incense to decide."

The black-robed person naturally spoke thus in hopes of acquiring Ge Tian’s legacy without expending any effort; if Ye Qiu was sensible, recognizing his current situation, he’d choose to compromise.

In this way, not only would he acquire Ge Tian’s legacy, but he’d also thoroughly control Ye Qiu, the Divine Grade Alchemist. Offering Ye Qiu a chance to rise is merely drawing him with a big promise, encouraging early compromise.

"No need for half the time of incense; I can answer you now." Ye Qiu spoke up.

"Oh? Have you truly thought it over? Fine, state your answer." The black-robed person said calmly.

"My answer is... you... go die!" Ye Qiu finished speaking, as a vortex appeared behind the black-robed person, from which a Saint’s avatar emerged, launching an attack immediately.

"Damn it!"

The black-robed person didn’t expect a Saint could suddenly appear here and behind him no less, silently.

The Saint’s identity was, of course, released by Ye Qiu from the Sumeru Bag while pretending to ponder, precisely for this moment.

Ye Qiu certainly wouldn’t agree to the opponent’s conditions, surrendering Ge Tian’s legacy; that was impossible. It’s something achieved with intense effort, not to be given away; furthermore, Ge Tian’s legacy is his foundation in the ancestral land, especially the Supreme Emperor Bell, which perfectly hides one’s presence, undiscoverable by even Saints. It’s saved him countless times; handing it to others would be sheer folly.

Ye Qiu wouldn’t be foolish enough to comply. The black-robed person’s wild imagination expecting him to surrender willingly just struck Ye Qiu as laughable, revealing the absurdity of the black-robed person’s mindset.

Who would hand over their most precious possession to others and then serve them?

Therefore, Ye Qiu gave the black-robed person a rapid answer.

As the Saint avatar attacked, Ye Qiu began to blacken, mysterious black patterns appearing on his face, swiftly covering half of it. His Late Return Realm aura also surged, reaching the Saint Realm and continuing to climb.

Saint Realm Late Stage!

With the aid of blackening, Ye Qiu entered the Saint Realm, achieving his highest level of power ever.

Feeling his aura hotter than flames, the force within him like a volcano ready to erupt at any moment.

Ye Qiu believed slaying another Black Sha Sect strong figure was within reach!
