Supernatural Insight Eyes

This man named Hound, Ye Qiu didn’t know him at all, but the mysterious black markings on his face were familiar to Ye Qiu.

Dark power.

No one possesses this ability except his Du Gu clan.

The fact that this person’s face was wrapped in mysterious markings could only mean one thing: he was a descendant of the Du Gu clan.

Di Nantian using a member of the Du Gu clan against him; Ye Qiu’s feelings were understandable, and it was also the main reason for his anger.

However, Hound did not give Ye Qiu much time to be surprised, directly attacking.

At the same time, Di Nantian’s voice rang out indifferently: "Surprised, aren’t you? It seems the surprise I’ve brought has astounded you. I spent a long time to tame him."

"How about the name Hound? I personally named him. Do you know why? Because he’s just a dog under my command, a dog that can be sacrificed at any time."

Di Nantian spoke casually, while Ye Qiu defended against Hound’s attack, his gaze brimmed with killing intent. Di Nantian was provoking him, Ye Qiu understood this in his heart, but even knowing so, he couldn’t help his anger.

It was indeed difficult for him to accept that the descendants of his Du Gu clan had been turned into this and used against them. Not to mention naming him Hound, clearly an insult to his clan.

"Your Emperor Clan, ten thousand years ago, was just a servant of my Du Gu clan. Now you specifically target the Du Gu clan because you’re afraid of becoming servants again, aren’t you?"

Swish.

Di Nantian’s expression changed. The history of the Emperor Clan was something the entire clan shunned because once upon a time, they were indeed servants of the Du Gu clan, later becoming part of the Guardian lineage.

To them, it was a shameful history.

"Hmph, the victor becomes king, the loser becomes a villain. Why should your Du Gu clan rule the heavens? As the saying goes, fortunes change, this year it’s our turn. Our Emperor Clan has guarded your Du Gu clan for so many years, it’s time to take back what’s ours," said Di Nantian.

"A traitor is a traitor, born with a rebellious nature," Ye Qiu retorted sarcastically.

Di Nantian snorted, directly shouting, "Hound, tear him to pieces."

The term ’traitor’ struck a sensitive nerve for traitors. As an important member of the Emperor Clan, Di Nantian could hardly keep a pleasant face. At this moment, he outright ordered Hound to kill Ye Qiu, regardless of life or death.

Swoosh.

After darkening, Hound’s power was even stronger than Ye Qiu’s darkened state, having reached a transcendent level.

Ye Qiu engaged him with his own skills, but was instantly knocked back.

With a thought, Ye Qiu also invoked his dark power, the two facing each other, "You are a member of my Du Gu clan; your blade should be pointed at him."

Ye Qiu spoke to Hound, but Hound was unmoved; he didn’t listen at all. In his mind, Ye Qiu was the enemy, Di Nantian was the master.

"Foolish, you think a few words from you can make him turn against me? You underestimate me, Di Nantian," Di Nantian sneered.

Ye Qiu initially just wanted to try; otherwise, he wouldn’t be reconciled because the opponent was a descendant of his clan. Given the state he’s been reduced to, if possible, Ye Qiu truly didn’t want to fight him.

No matter the outcome, it was something Ye Qiu couldn’t accept.

The Du Gu clan in Heavenly Palace’s grasp was truly pitiful. It was tragic and helpless, a truth Ye Qiu found hard to change.

Bang bang bang.

Hound’s power was exceptionally strong, his attacks brutal, and his combat prowess was stellar. Instantly, he hit Ye Qiu again, forcing Ye Qiu to retreat.

He really couldn’t bring himself to strike.

Seeing Ye Qiu retreating step by step, Di Nantian said indifferently: "Your strength isn’t all that impressive; I’m quite curious how you managed to kill Di Luan."

Ye Qiu didn’t respond; Hound’s power made him cautious. Both being from the Du Gu clan, he naturally knew the horrors of dark power, but because he knew, he didn’t want to battle either.

Fighting among kin was too cruel.

At least Ye Qiu felt it was too much to bear in his heart.

Hound’s appearance reminded Ye Qiu of the previous darkened youth who also worked for Heavenly Palace. Had Ye Qiu not been more cautious back then, the youth would have followed him into the minor world, which would have been a disaster for the Du Gu clan.

At the time, Ye Qiu was contemplating how many like this youth existed within the Du Gu clan and if there were stronger members reduced to tools by Heavenly Palace, wielded against them.

Now it seemed that his fears were confirmed; things were worse than he had imagined.

And it could only get worse!

Heavenly Palace had brainwashed these darkened Du Gu clan members, turning them into weapons. Besides Hound, there surely were others.

Thinking of this, Ye Qiu became even more enraged.

Heavenly Palace’s treatment of the Du Gu clan was unforgivable. He must overthrow Heavenly Palace.

Di Nantian could see Ye Qiu’s expressions, a cold smile on his face. He’d seen many from the Du Gu clan show the same expression when facing Hound, and those people also refrained from fighting Hound, resulting in all of them dying at Hound’s hands.

"Come on, kill him. Kill him and you can continue being my loyal dog," Di Nantian’s voice reached Hound, at once causing Hound, who hadn’t been able to finish off Ye Qiu, to increase his aura.

Ye Qiu’s expression changed; he felt the changes in Hound. It was no longer as simple as transcendent level.

Still gathering momentum.

Ye Qiu showed a serious expression, staring at the darkened figure of Hound, mysterious markings continually shifting on Hound’s body, the surrounding black mist growing denser.

Ye Qiu’s heart raced, feeling a sense of peril targeting him.

Leave!

He no longer wished to linger. One reason was that when Ye Qiu fought Hound, he was constrained; they were from the same Du Gu clan, and Ye Qiu couldn’t bring himself to strike.

Additionally, Hound’s strength was clearly increasing; if Ye Qiu stayed any longer, he’d likely be captured by Hound.

Without hesitation, Ye Qiu turned and left.

Di Nantian wouldn’t let Ye Qiu go easily. Having caught Ye Qiu, he wouldn’t give up. With a thought, he commanded Hound: "Chase."

Hound transformed into a shadow, instantly darting forward.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

Ye Qiu transformed into a stream of light, continuously traversing, tearing through space, while Hound behind relentlessly pursued, closing the distance continuously.

Ye Qiu could sense that Di Nantian was chasing as well, albeit more leisurely, with a look as if watching a show.

As Ye Qiu fled, the news of Di Nantian locating Ye Qiu and pursuing him spread to the other Sons of the Heavenly Emperor.

"Finally some movement?"

"That guy showed up? Being targeted by Di Nantian, he’s undoubtedly as good as dead."

"This time, he’s doomed."

The various Sons of the Heavenly Emperor had different thoughts, but regarding Ye Qiu’s outcome, they all shared the same view: Ye Qiu wouldn’t live much longer.

Because the one acting was Di Nantian, the strongest among all Sons of the Heavenly Emperor, the one with the most methods.
