Supernatural Insight Eyes

There really is a ghost!

Ye Qiu felt somewhat thankful for his persistence, because he truly hadn’t anticipated the scene that suddenly unfolded before his eyes.

The little boy was indeed problematic.

Lei Yi looked shocked, evidently finding it incredible that the little boy was a spy. If not for Ye Qiu’s insistence, would it mean that the position of the remaining Du Gu clan’s base would be exposed, luring this wolf, the Celestial Palace, to come and slaughter them once again?

Thinking of this, a layer of cold sweat appeared on Lei Yi’s back.

"Where do you think you’re going!"

Ye Qiu’s voice suddenly rang out, and he immediately pursued. By then, the little boy had already disappeared. Clearly, he was the undercover sent by the Celestial Palace, and knowing he was about to be exposed, he fled in advance.

"Little Ye Zi, you go after him, I’ll deal with this celestial shadow." Zhuang Miao Shan said to Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu nodded and immediately dashed out. Given Zhuang Miao Shan’s strength, dealing with a celestial-level shadow was quite easy. Even if things didn’t go well, Lei Yi was there, and with the combined efforts of two celestial-level powerhouses, they certainly shouldn’t struggle against a single celestial-level shadow.

Ye Qiu quickly chased after, as he absolutely couldn’t let the boy escape.

This was someone who had awakened Bloodline Power and belonged to the Du Gu clan. Ye Qiu couldn’t comprehend why, despite their blood feud with the Celestial Palace, this boy was with the enemy.

All these questions could only be answered after capturing the boy.

Whhhooosh...

The gusts swept by, a large and small figure, racing through the wilderness.

Every time the boy turned back, he could see Ye Qiu closing in, making him increasingly anxious.

If Ye Qiu caught him, his fate would certainly be dire.

Swsh.

A figure suddenly flashed by, blocking the boy’s path. Ye Qiu halted, saying indifferently, "I don’t want to harm a kid, don’t run away. Rest assured, I won’t kill you; I just want to understand a few things."

Upon hearing this, the boy didn’t stop but instead launched an attack on Ye Qiu.

Ah!

The boy entered a dark transformation mode to boost his attack power, as mysterious black patterns spread all over his body.

Ye Qiu stared at those mysterious patterns, almost identical to his own, showing no signs of being fake.

"Why are you helping the Celestial Palace? They are your enemies," Ye Qiu shouted.

"Sinners, you are sinners, and I am a sinner too. I must atone to find forgiveness," the boy blurted out inexplicable words.

What nonsense about sinners, Ye Qiu couldn’t understand, feeling that this boy had been brainwashed by the Celestial Palace.

Simultaneously, Ye Qiu felt a chill within his heart, pondering how many youths like this boy the Celestial Palace had captured from the Du Gu clan over the years, and what level of power they held.

For some reason, observing the boy’s state and gaze gave Ye Qiu a bad premonition.

He even hesitated to drag the matter toward the worst case scenario because if it was true, it would be utterly terrifying.

Moreover, it was something Ye Qiu would rather not see nor let happen.

Hopefully, the Celestial Palace can’t reach that point.

The darkened boy moved like a wildcat, swift and agile like lightning, but now, his opponent was Ye Qiu. Even if Ye Qiu was caught off guard during an ambush, he wouldn’t get hurt.

The gap between the two was too vast. Although the boy was part of the Celestial Palace, his innate realm wasn’t high, even when combined with the dark transformation. His power wasn’t horrifying.

Moments later, Ye Qiu brought the boy back.

Returning to the original location, Zhuang Miao Shan and Lei Yi had just finished their battle, only for Ye Qiu to be startled upon seeing their disheveled state.

It was only a celestial-level shadow, not a true form; why did it seem like they had used all their strength?

It shouldn’t be this serious!

Seeing Ye Qiu’s surprised expression, Zhuang Miao Shan smiled wryly, "Are you thinking why we ended up so disheveled?"

Ye Qiu nodded.

"Should have let you experience the feeling of facing the Celestial Emperor." Zhuang Miao Shan spoke with earth-shattering words.

"You’re saying that the celestial shadow earlier was the Celestial Emperor’s?" Ye Qiu exclaimed.

Zhuang Miao Shan and Lei Yi didn’t speak, but their expressions said it all, which explained Ye Qiu’s earlier confusion, realizing it was indeed the Celestial Emperor’s shadow.

Who is the Celestial Emperor, the ruler of the Celestial Palace? Such a figure’s shadow could hardly be weak, no wonder Zhuang Miao Shan and Lei Yi appeared so disheveled.

Facing a strong being’s shadow, surviving was already commendable.

Fortunately, it was only the shadow of the Celestial Emperor and not the Celestial Emperor himself descending; otherwise, both would have perished here.

Ye Qiu had previously learned about the Celestial Emperor, a terrifyingly strong being who, after Ye Qiu slew the divine child, unleashed his fury on the Black Fiend Sect, using them as a scapegoat, even destroying their main base.

Ye Qiu was aware of the Black Fiend Sect, mysterious, low-key yet formidable.

Yet the Celestial Emperor dared to strike against them, even dismantling the Black Fiend Sect’s branches scattered across the cosmos.

A peerless figure like him was indeed not comparable to ordinary celestial realms.

"Alright, you managed to bring back that kid; what’s really going on?" Zhuang Miao Shan asked.

Lei Yi also wanted to understand why a Du Gu descendant, presumed to have awakened Bloodline Power, became loyal to the Celestial Palace.

"See for yourselves." Ye Qiu pushed the boy in front of the two, hoping they would personally examine him.

Consequently, Lei Yi and Zhuang Miao Shan examined him, both falling silent afterward.

After a while, Lei Yi spoke, "The Emperor clan is ruthless to plan such a thing."

"And there are quite a few of them."

"After tens of thousands of years of accumulation, they must have stronger Du Gu clan members in their grasp than this little one. Using Du Gu to kill Du Gu, how vicious!" Zhuang Miao Shan commented.

Indeed, Ye Qiu’s previous conjecture proved accurate as events headed toward the worst direction.

There were many Du Gu like the boy, who awakened Bloodline Power and were brainwashed by the Celestial Palace, turning into their weapons.

Such Du Gu members, counterintuitively, became the Celestial Palace’s Divine Weaponry.

To imagine a Du Gu murdering their kin was such a tragedy; no wonder the three, upon grasping part of the truth, displayed such expressions.

The Celestial Palace’s tactics were excessively insidious, as it incurred no loss for them.

"This is a matter we must heed, especially since the Celestial Palace hides it so well, it’s certainly regarded as their trump card, even unknown to the outside world." Ye Qiu calmly stated.

Lei Yi nodded in agreement, as without Ye Qiu, he truly wouldn’t have known. Thankfully, it was now revealed; otherwise, the infiltrated Du Gu would bring an unimaginable disaster to their current base.

Thinking of this, Lei Yi’s whole body shivered.
