Supernatural Insight Eyes

Ye Qiu and Zhuang Miao Shan didn’t keep everyone waiting for long. When the two returned, they immediately drew everyone’s attention.

Everyone already knew that the master and apprentice had also made a move against Tiangong; they were all curious about the results achieved by the two.

Ye Qiu also looked toward the few geniuses of the Dugu family that he hadn’t seen for several days.

Especially Dugu Qing, who, at this moment, had an air of self-satisfaction, though it was unclear where this confidence came from.

"Senior Xuan Ye, we’ve returned," Ye Qiu bowed and greeted Dugu Xuanye.

"It’s good that you two have returned safely," Xuan Ye said with a smile.

A talent like Ye Qiu, if he were to fall or be captured by Tiangong, would be a great loss. Xuan Ye still had an appreciation for talent.

"Ye Qiu, during our action against Tiangong, we obtained quite a harvest by destroying two Tiangong branches in succession. I wonder what your master-disciple duo has achieved?" Dugu Qing suddenly said.

He was eager to know the result of Ye Qiu and his master’s actions. If they didn’t achieve much, naturally Dugu Qing would have the most credit in this operation, and then he could properly mock Ye Qiu to avenge his previous defeat against Ye Qiu.

What if Ye Qiu’s contribution wasn’t bigger? But does such a situation truly exist?

Dugu Qing thought not.

With how many of them there were, they managed to destroy two Tiangong branches. Even though Dugu Qing feels he contributed significantly, he must admit that without the cooperation of other talents and the multiple elders stepping in, they couldn’t have achieved that level; he couldn’t do it alone.

Look at Ye Qiu; there were only the two of them, master and disciple. He didn’t see how such a small group could have any significant harvest.

Even if Ye Qiu is powerful, it’s impossible to battle with super heavenly level powers, right?

Even if his teacher Zhuang Miao Shan is a super heavenly level, he can’t simultaneously confront two, or even multiple super heavenly level experts, right?

If Dugu Qing knew the truth, he would surely find his thoughts laughable, as Ye Qiu and Zhuang Miao Shan indeed had the power to achieve such feats.

Dugu Qing asked him, though Ye Qiu wasn’t sure of the specifics, he understood this guy had his motives.

Glancing at Dugu Qing, Ye Qiu calmly said, "Made some little gains, I suppose."

"What gains? Why not say it aloud for everyone to hear," Dugu Qing pressed.

Ye Qiu smiled, said no more, and instead ran a finger over his storage ring, causing a large number of items to appear before him, including pills, cultivation techniques, weapons, and more.

A massive pile lay on the ground, leaving the surrounding people stunned.

What are these?

"These are all from the Tiangong branches, and I’ll leave them for the clan’s young ones to use," Ye Qiu said.

Upon hearing this, those young ones had their eyes light up, as resources were scarce in this small world. The young ones had never seen so many good items, and in an instant, their gaze toward Ye Qiu changed.

Figures like Dugu Cheng, Dugu Yan, and others also had surprise flash in their eyes, considering these things were no small amount, leaving them wondering if Ye Qiu had emptied the Tiangong branches.

They knew that the two Tiangong branches they destroyed didn’t yield any items; they simply killed the people and left, unlike Ye Qiu who collected all their things.

Dugu Qing was slightly stunned, with a pain brewing in his heart — why hadn’t he thought of this step? Those were Tiangong branches, and they simply killed people, set a fire, and left.

Imagining the possible treasures within the Tiangong branches, Dugu Qing felt like squeezing his heart to pieces. Now Ye Qiu rose to prominence again, with the young ones’ gazes toward Ye Qiu transformed.

Why him again!

Why not me, Dugu Qing!

Dugu Qing clenched his fist, remaining silent.

Most of these items were seized from the Tiangong branch where Di Kun was located. The pills from the Di Luan branch were all consumed by the master and disciple duo. Regarding cultivation techniques, Ye Qiu and Zhuang Miao Shan had carefully read and memorized everything on their way back, so it was more useful to bolster the Dugu clan’s strength.

As for the weapons obtained from Di Kun’s branch, Ye Qiu had no use for them, having Ge Tian’s three great treasures to rely on instead of ordinary weapons.

Thus, these items are essentially the cherished treasures of the two Tiangong branches. Back when Tiangong occupied the Dugu clan’s resources, Ye Qiu merely reclaimed a portion, now offering them to the Dugu family.

Before Xuan Ye had the chance to deliver compliments, Dugu Qing spoke in a voice not too loud or too soft: "These are nothing but trivial items. Compared to these, it’s not as important as destroying a Tiangong branch. Besides, who knows where these items were acquired from by some individuals; it’s hard to say."

The meaning of Dugu Qing’s words was clear, rendering Ye Qiu’s contributions mediocre, and the origins of these items questionable.

Ye Qiu glanced at Dugu Qing and suddenly realized if he had been too lenient before, not inflicting enough pain on this guy.

Otherwise, why does he persist in targeting me?

Reflecting for a moment, Ye Qiu suddenly smiled.

Forget it; he’s just a short-sighted, petty person. Why bother clashing with him?

Let him talk.

The truth shall reveal itself in time.

"Alright, since everyone’s back, let’s rest individually first; we’ll discuss other matters tomorrow," Xuan Ye timely interjected, preventing Ye Qiu and Dugu Qing from escalating tensions.

After making their bows, everyone left one after another.

Dugu Qing looked at Ye Qiu from afar, still feeling agitated in his heart, "Tomorrow, the ancestors will announce everyone’s contributions, Ye Qiu, let’s see how long you can stay arrogant."

Regarding Dugu Qing’s earlier remarks, Ye Qiu didn’t explain, nor did he wish to, leaving amidst everyone’s gaze.

...

Ancestral Land. Tiangong.

Yet another descendant of the Dugu clan was brought out, executed before everyone.

Four emperors’ sons watched this scene with amusement and some regret for not being able to coerce any Dugu clan members out. Since Lei Yi’s appearance that day, no one dared to show themselves.

Their elaborate trap yielded no catches.

However, they weren’t in a rush; some matters require patience.

You have executed ten descendants of the Dugu clan, and the four emperors’ sons were about to retreat into the sect. Suddenly, the void tore open, and two figures abruptly appeared.

The four emperors’ sons began to act, preparing to tighten the net, when Di Kun suddenly spoke.

"Hold on."

After these two figures emerged, they went directly to Di Kun’s side. Di Kun frowned, noting the weakened aura of these super heavenly level individuals.

"Why are you in this state?"

"Disastrous news, Emperor’s Son. Our branch was destroyed by someone..."

What!
