Supernatural Insight Eyes

For enemies, Ye Qiu shows no mercy, especially against hateful enemies like the Heavenly Palace that keep the Du Gu clan captive.

"It seems we’ve entered the library. By the looks of it, there are quite a few cultivation techniques here," remarked Zhuang Miao Shan as he glanced around, noticing there were hundreds of martial arts manuals lining the shelves.

They were unaware that these texts were collected by Di Luan. As the ruler of this star region, she naturally sought to acquire powerful techniques from various life planets. Even though most were useless to her, they helped to broaden her experience and vision.

Moreover, the most important aspect was enriching the strength of the Heavenly Palace.

Every disciple would do the same. Some things, they might not need for themselves, but they could use them to train subordinates or reward followers, which is a rather good strategy.

Ye Qiu, being someone who plucks every feather of the passing goose, started collecting all the texts without a second thought.

After all, his storage ring still had plenty of space, enough to hold everything.

In an instant, under Ye Qiu’s looting, naturally, not a single book was left for Di Luan; everything was taken.

Zhuang Miao Shan saw Ye Qiu collecting all the techniques into his storage bag, then knocking left and right on the walls, somewhat amused but helpless. According to Ye Qiu, he wouldn’t miss a single spot and would leave nothing behind.

Unfortunately, they couldn’t find any secret compartments, it seemed all the texts were indeed here.

Having swept through the library, they naturally couldn’t miss other places.

The master and disciple duo continued to suppress their aura and began ransacking other places. It didn’t take long before they reached the pill room.

Though Ye Qiu was an alchemist himself and didn’t lack pills, these pills belonged to the Heavenly Palace, so he had to take them. Even if he couldn’t use them, he’d rather feed them to dogs than leave them for the Heavenly Palace to use.

To Ye Qiu’s surprise, the quality of the pills here was quite good. He wasn’t sure where they came from, but he found quite a few saint-grade pills among them.

Huh?

As Ye Qiu continued to collect the pills into his storage bag, he suddenly noticed that the pills on one shelf were different. They were all in black bottles, and there were some transparent bottles containing the corpses of small creatures.

Poison Pills!

A flash crossed Ye Qiu’s face; he hadn’t expected Di Luan, a female martial artist, to have such poison pills.

As the name suggests, consuming these poison pills is highly detrimental. Other pills might help the martial artists to some degree, but poison pills are the opposite — they are meant to kill.

Ye Qiu knew that in the field of alchemy, some deviated from the right path and lived by making poison pills. However, he had never seen such an alchemist. Those he met practiced normal alchemy.

After all, making poison pills wasn’t easy, and if they failed, they risked poisoning themselves and dying to their own poison pills. Therefore, alchemists like this were rare.

After a moment of distraction, Ye Qiu didn’t throw these poison pills into his storage bag as before; he put them aside.

"Are you afraid of poisoning yourself?" Zhuang Miao Shan thought Ye Qiu finally got scared when he suddenly became cautious.

Ye Qiu wasn’t afraid; he had a new idea in his mind.

He then told Zhuang Miao Shan what he planned, causing Zhuang Miao Shan to pause and mutter, "Isn’t this a bit too ruthless?"

"If we use another method, we’ll have to exert ourselves," Ye Qiu replied.

Upon hearing that, Zhuang Miao Shan changed his tone and laughed, "Actually, this method is also good. People without ruthlessness can’t stand firm."

Ye Qiu: "..."

After ransacking two secret chambers, the two prepared to search for the one containing weapons. Unfortunately, after searching around, they didn’t find it. Though they felt a little disappointed, their gains were substantial.

The master and disciple duo then sneaked out of the great hall again, moving outside to begin executing Ye Qiu’s ’ruthless plan.’

At this moment, the two were wrapped tightly, leaving only their eyes uncovered, and Ye Qiu was constantly mixing something with his hands.

In his other hand, he was pouring poison pills into a basin, mixing them with water to form a poison pill solution.

After everything was prepared, Ye Qiu sparked a flame to boil the poison pill solution, making it steam.

Zhuang Miao Shan was gathering the steam beside him.

As the poison pill solution in the iron basin evaporated, the gathered steam increased and spread around the great hall like a mist.

Gradually, the entire hall was shrouded in this mist.

"Huh, what’s with the mist?"

As the mist thickened, a guard at the front of the great hall looked at it in surprise.

The others also turned their attention to it.

"Is something going on?"

"Hurry and check it out."

As several guards approached the mist, they suddenly grimaced and collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.

Other guards who hadn’t approached yet instinctively stopped, while some who took a step into the mist and got contaminated also showed pained expressions, turning their heads towards the guards behind them, stretched out a hand, and fell over as well.

Immediately, the guards dared not linger any longer. Fifteen to sixteen fell dead in an instant, everyone realized the mist was strange.

The guards scurried away, unwilling to stay any longer, otherwise they’d fall under the spreading mist.

As the mist enveloped the great hall, a few presences surged from deep within the hall.

"Damn it!"

"Who is so sinister, poisoning our Heavenly Palace?"

Several shouts echoed throughout the world, followed by several figures rushing out. Their aura was weak at the moment; they were at the Celestial Heaven realm. However, when the mist spread, it finally invaded their bodies, weakening their power.

Yet, when these celestial level powerhouses reached above the hall, they saw no enemy.

Suddenly.

Two figures emerged out of thin air; it was Ye Qiu and Zhuang Miao Shan. They launched a surprise attack at lightning speed, using their strongest moves to strike down the celestial powerhouses who charged out.

These four celestial powerhouses just reacted, but it was too late.

Zhuang Miao Shan, holding the Bahuang Sword, instantly pierced two celestial powerhouses, while Ye Qiu, in the form of the emperor demon body, attacked with both claws, taking off one celestial powerhouse’s head.

Boom, boom, boom!

Subsequent explosions echoed, shaking the hall alongside it.

Zhuang Miao Shan’s single strike deeply injured two celestial powerhouses, while Ye Qiu directly killed another.

The master and disciple duo landed a successful blow, not giving their opponents a chance to retaliate. They immediately pressed their advantage, launching another round of deadly assaults.

Moments later.

The Heavenly Palace branch of Di Luan was corroded by the poison mist. All structures became mottled.

No life auras could be felt; this place had become a dead zone!
