Supernatural Insight Eyes

"You... explain to me what was going on with that aura just now?"

Zhang Yunke randomly pointed at someone, one of the five people following behind Ye Qiu and Li Jin.

The title of the three young masters was quite well-known in the ancestral land. Although they were not at the level of the top ten Saint Heirs, they were still notable figures, young martial artists second only to Saint Heirs.

The person pointed at glanced at Ye Qiu and then at the trio of Zhang Yunke, unsure of how to speak as he didn’t want to offend either side.

Just then, another loose cultivator next to him whispered, "What are you hesitating for? They are the three young masters. Although this masked expert is formidable, he’s just one person and can’t compare to the three young masters."

This loose cultivator mulled over for a moment, thinking it made sense, and immediately said, "Honorable sirs, that powerful aura just now was created by him. Especially that stele behind him, it was buried underground before, and he managed to dig it out, as if he knew it was here by some intuition."

Since he decided to curry favor with the three young masters, this loose cultivator naturally had to make things clear. As for offending Ye Qiu, he no longer cared; offending Ye Qiu was nothing compared to offending the three young masters, which was pure disaster. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"You..." Li Jin was furious upon hearing this person selling Ye Qiu out so outrightly. Had it not been for Ye Qiu, they wouldn’t even have been able to get here, passing through the Mistkill Array, yet just like that, they sold him out.

Truly, people’s hearts are unpredictable!

"Brother Li, apologies, though we appreciate this masked expert, the three young masters are not someone we can afford to provoke." This loose cultivator who quickly turned showed concern and continued to Zhang Yunke and the others, "Honorable sirs, when we passed the Mistkill Array before, this guy killed those stone creatures extremely swiftly. I suspect he must have some divine weapon to slice open the stone creature’s head."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yunke and the others exchanged glances, recalling the situation they encountered just as they entered the Mistkill Array. No wonder, they had seen a few fallen stone creatures with separated bodies at the time and speculated it might be a sharp weapon that cut them. The one responsible turned out to be the person in front of them.

Li Jin was beside himself with anger. It was one thing to sell out Ye Qiu, but also claiming Ye Qiu hides a divine weapon was too much.

"What he said... did you all see it too?" Zhang Yunke turned to the other four. They had originally agreed to follow Ye Qiu, and now together in betrayal, they all nodded.

Seeing this, Zhang Yunke smiled, very satisfied.

"Good."

Immediately, his gaze turned to Ye Qiu, casually asking, "Tell me, what’s the deal with that stele? How did you find it? Is there some secret involved?"

Ye Qiu laughed, his voice transmitting through the mask, reaching everyone’s ears. Did Zhang Yunke really think he was some top expert, demanding answers.

Ye Qiu’s laughter was loud, heard by everyone.

As for those loose cultivators who previously relied on him to reach here, but now sold him out, Ye Qiu didn’t care at all. Zhang Yunke’s demanding interrogation only made him laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhang Yunke was displeased, feeling Ye Qiu’s laughter was mocking him.

The laughter abruptly stopped, causing a pause in everyone’s expression, then Ye Qiu said, "Why does my laughter concern you? Why should I explain how I found the stele? Who do you think you are?"

Ye Qiu retorted against Zhang Yunke, not expecting this masked, mysterious guy to dare speak to him that way.

"Are you refusing the toast only to drink the penalty?"

"And what if I am." Ye Qiu calmly replied. Last time he and Zhang Yunke didn’t have a clear winner, this time he wouldn’t mind teaching Zhang Yunke a lesson in humility.

Suddenly, the ground felt like shaking, followed by numerous figures appearing, among them the most eye-catching were the towering stone creatures behind them, even larger than those inside the Mistkill Array, with six hands and sharp horns, advancing here.

"The stones have come alive, the stones have come alive..." The fleeing loose cultivators kept shouting, chased relentlessly by the stone creatures, suddenly spotting Ye Qiu and Zhang Yunke’s side, rushing here seeking aid.

"Help!"

This person was fast as flying on water, perhaps triggered by the monsters behind, unleashing his potential to an astonishing speed.

"Damn it, don’t drag us into this!" Zhang Yunke was angry, having already prepared to confront Ye Qiu, now a loose cultivator dared to demand his intervention against the stone creatures.

Zhang Yunke raised his hand with a powerful blast hitting the cultivator’s chest, opening a large hole immediately.

The cultivator’s body was still running while realizing his chest was penetrated, showing an unwilling expression before slowing, eventually falling as he ran.

Those loose cultivators who betrayed Ye Qiu earlier felt a chill in their hearts watching this.

"Not good!"

After Zhang Yunke killed the running cultivator in anger, Luo Shang’s face changed, reminding, "Watch out for the sky."

They lifted their heads then, seeing not only earth-bound stone creatures but also those flying in the sky.

"Go!"

Luo Shang said to Song Qinglong and Zhang Yunke; Zhang Yunke glared at Ye Qiu, seemingly wanting to deal with him.

Luo Shang immediately transmitted: "There are too many stone creatures here now, if we can’t hide quickly, we’ll face all the stone creatures’ attacks. This guy, we’ll eventually come across him again and handle him later."

Only then did Zhang Yunke give up on confronting Ye Qiu, with a flick of his sleeve, leading Luo Shang and Song Qinglong away.

Leaving Ye Qiu and others behind.

"Let’s move too." Ye Qiu wasn’t scared of the stone creatures, just that their numbers were slightly overwhelming to deal with, and mainly because Ye Qiu couldn’t be bothered to kill.

Shwoosh...

A flying stone creature glided down, its sharp claws reaching out to grab them.

Ye Qiu pressed Li Jin on the shoulder, causing a halt, then dashed off without entanglement.

"Ah!"

Meanwhile, those loose cultivators who betrayed Ye Qiu faced the situation; Zhang Yunke and the two came swiftly, left quickly, entirely ignoring them. Ye Qiu merely took Li Jin running, leaving the remaining five to suffer the stone creatures’ attacks.

"Masked expert, save us."

"Help us."

Calls for help came from behind those five mouths, but Ye Qiu was indifferent, those people didn’t appreciate his help, yet sold him out instantly upon meeting stronger forces. Such people he wouldn’t rescue; their fate was nothing to him!

Even Li Jin found satisfaction, saying repeatedly from behind, "That’s your karma; betraying others, dare you do it in the next life!"
