Supernatural Insight Eyes

The Heavenly Palace intervened, searching everywhere for Ye Qiu’s shadow.

However, finding a single person in such a vast ancestral land is not an easy task.

Any clues related to Ye Qiu, the Heavenly Palace would not overlook.

Yet after four or five days in a row, it was as if Ye Qiu had vanished into thin air; no one knew where he was.

On this day, the Heavenly Palace released a message.

They intended to execute several individuals with the bloodline of the Du Gu family, hoping everyone would come to watch.

This news, once out, caused a tremendous uproar.

"The Heavenly Palace is trying to force Ye Fentian to show himself," someone saw through their fundamental motive and discussed.

"As someone with the Du Gu bloodline, will he continue to shrink into the corner or step out to save his clan members? I’m very curious about his choice."

"Once he shows up, there’s an eighty percent chance the Heavenly Palace will capture him. But if he doesn’t, he can only watch as his clan members are killed. This move is truly ruthless."

Many people were discussing this gambit by the Heavenly Palace, thinking it absolutely ruthless, pushing Ye Qiu to make a choice.

This way, even if Ye Qiu wanted to continue hiding, he could not remain calm because the Du Gu clan members would be executed in public.

Indeed, it was a strategy of attacking the mind.

In a tavern within the ancestral land, Li Jin listened to the discussions of the crowd, and the image of Ye Qiu emerged in his mind.

He hadn’t heard any news about Ye Qiu for a while. Previously, when exploring relics with Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu had left him many good things, allowing Li Jin to make significant progress in strength. Now he had also entered the Homecoming Realm. Although there was still some distance to the Saint Realm, there was a substantial hope of breaking through in his lifetime.

"Brother Ye, you must not show yourself!"

Li Jin prayed, hoping Ye Qiu would keep calm, for if he truly revealed himself, he would have fallen into the Heavenly Palace’s trap.

Meanwhile, the news about the Heavenly Palace intending to execute Du Gu clan members spread further and further.

In a mountain range, Saint Wu Tian and the Heavenly Mechanism Sage were both in seclusion here. They got along well with Miao Shan before, having once selected young talents together at the Turquoise Pool gathering.

Yang Ce was a standout among that batch, apart from Ye Qiu. After the Turquoise Pool gathering, he was accepted as a disciple by the Heavenly Mechanism Sage.

Although Yang Ce did not go to the Star River Road, his strength did not fall behind. Recently, he had also made some breakthroughs.

When the news from the Heavenly Palace reached their ears, the figures of Miao Shan and Ye Qiu appeared in their minds.

For Yang Ce, knowing that Ye Qiu could even slay the Supreme Saint, his heart was no longer filled with jealousy. Since the resolution of his grievances with Ye Qiu, he no longer considered himself Ye Qiu’s enemy.

Instead, in his mind, he took Ye Qiu as the goal he worked hard to surpass.

"The speed of progress at the Supreme Saint level is really fast. I thought I had narrowed the gap with you, but unexpectedly, it’s even wider," Yang Ce said with a wry smile.

Saint Wu Tian and the Heavenly Mechanism Sage exchanged a glance, also very concerned about Ye Qiu and Miao Shan’s master.

If they weren’t facing major powers, they wouldn’t hesitate to help; otherwise, they would have long revealed themselves.

Mainly because Miao Shan and Ye Qiu had made too many enemies among the major sects. Although Saint Wu Tian and the Heavenly Mechanism Sage were at the Saint level, they were still a far cry from those gigantic sects.

Their strength might be impressive among Loose Cultivators, but against the major sects, they were still just small roles.

Ever since Miao Shan returned with a stance of supreme power, Wu Tian and Tian Ji were indeed shocked, not expecting Miao Shan finally to take that step, and they were sincerely happy for Miao Shan.

However, some of Miao Shan’s actions worried them.

Miao Shan intended to seek revenge for Ye Qiu, engaging in guerrilla warfare against various major sects, often hearing that another great sect had dispatched supreme powerhouses to besiege Miao Shan.

After a brief period of calmness, now Ye Qiu resurfaced and killed the Supreme Saint, making them feel that this master and disciple were surely together.

"Just hope they can be cautious and not put themselves in danger," the Heavenly Mechanism Sage said.

"We, too, should strive and make an effort. If we enter the Heavenly Realm, even if we can’t openly help them as master and disciple, there’s still the possibility of helping in secret," Saint Wu Tian said.

The Heavenly Mechanism Sage nodded: "Yes, we can’t let that guy leave us too far behind; it’s time to catch up with him."

Both intended to align with Miao Shan and also attempt a breakthrough to the Heavenly Realm.

Miao Shan’s breakthrough provided significant motivation for the two.

...

The news about the Heavenly Palace wanting to execute Du Gu clan members naturally reached Ye Qiu’s ears.

At the moment, both master and disciple were silent.

After a while, Miao Shan broke the silence, asking, "What do you plan to do?"

"Rescue them!" Ye Qiu replied decisively.

"You completely don’t have to do this. The Heavenly Palace is deliberately forcing you to show yourself. Killing the Du Gu clan members is just a distraction," Miao Shan said.

"I know." Ye Qiu understood in his heart, but he still couldn’t overcome that mental hurdle.

Ye Qiu could have a heart of stone and not show himself, but he couldn’t bear the fact that others would die because of him.

At the thought of those Du Gu family members being confined by the Heavenly Palace, already pitiful enough, losing their lives because of him, Ye Qiu really couldn’t bear it in his heart.

"Are you really decided?" Miao Shan asked again.

Ye Qiu nodded: "I have decided."

"How confident are you?"

"Not confident."

"What about if I join you?"

"Master..."

"I can’t just watch you court death. If you’re going to rescue them, I’ll help you," Miao Shan said.

Ye Qiu initially didn’t want Miao Shan to get involved. One thing was one thing, Miao Shan could intervene because of the danger to him, but Ye Qiu didn’t want Miao Shan entangled in the rescue of the Du Gu clan members.

Being enemies with the major sects, with Miao Shan’s current strength, as long as they’re careful, they could still live quite comfortably, given the supreme power’s standing.

But should they become enemies with the Heavenly Palace, it wouldn’t be easy. This unimaginably powerful superpower had numerous strong individuals; even with supreme power, one cannot afford to be careless. Once deemed an enemy, they would remain adversaries indefinitely.

Ye Qiu recalled the scene when Miao Shan insisted on taking him as a disciple. Back then, Ye Qiu said he was a troublesome disciple.

Is he now starting to trouble his master?

Seeing Miao Shan’s nonchalant look, Ye Qiu felt touched. Each teacher Ye Qiu had acknowledged was exceptionally good to him, a fact he was very grateful for.

Miao Shan gave Ye Qiu a pat, bringing him back to reality, "At this moment, you’re still distracted. Concentrate. Since we’ve decided to act, we must plan well; otherwise, both our lives might be at stake."
