Supernatural Insight Eyes

On a rapidly shuttling small boat, Ye Qiu and Zhuang Miaoshan sat cross-legged, swiftly recovering the power they had exhausted earlier.

After all, they had plundered quite a bit of elixir from Emperor Luan’s palace, and now both were consuming them like candy balls. Recovering strength with elixirs is much faster than absorbing the universe’s spiritual energy, without any limitations.

When almost all the elixirs were consumed, their strength returned to its peak state.

The master and disciple duo opened their eyes one after another, ceasing their cultivation.

There were four celestial-level experts in Emperor Luan’s palace, which was truly unexpected. According to their guess, having one or two celestial-level experts would be impressive, but they had forced four out all of a sudden.

Fortunately, they had dissolved poisonous pills in water beforehand, turning them into poisonous mist that enveloped the hall, causing instant poisoning among those inside.

Otherwise, if they had directly attacked, it might not have been as easy as today.

Overall, the two had a significant advantage. With the trick of poisonous mist, they achieved an unexpected triumph. Combined with their surprise attack, they quickly eliminated four powerful celestial experts.

Recalling it now, it all feels a bit unbelievable.

After taking down Emperor Luan’s palace, they did not stop. They immediately headed for Emperor Kun’s palace, aiming to accomplish everything before he could react.

By then, Emperor Luan and Emperor Kun would certainly be furious.

But what could they do? The heavenly palace had already threatened the Dugu clan descendants, so destroying their palaces was not unreasonable.

The flying small boat sped up, and in less than half a day, the two arrived at Emperor Kun’s domain.

Compared to Emperor Luan’s heavenly palace branch, Emperor Kun’s was much larger, with more guards. There were quite a few martial artists of saint level, and from afar, one could feel the majesty of this heavenly palace branch.

It seemed Emperor Kun managed his domain very well.

However, even with strict guards, it couldn’t stop Ye Qiu and Zhuang Miaoshan.

The master and disciple duo started the sweeping mode again, infiltrating the branch, collecting all valuables, and then released the prepared poisonous mist from above the branch.

As the poisonous mist appeared, like before in Emperor Luan’s case, at first, no one paid attention, thinking it’s just simple mist. But as the mist grew thicker and no sound came from within the buildings, the guards were dumbfounded.

They all ran to the main hall, only to collapse one after another.

It’s undeniable that the poisonous pill’s effect was too good, making Ye Qiu even think about refining more vicious and toxic pills someday. With his alchemy skills, there’s no worry about refining himself to death.

He could craft more poisonous pills, especially ones like this poisonous mist, which could definitely serve as a secret weapon, playing a crucial role at critical moments.

As the mist thickened, more people collapsed, and those inside the main hall realized the peculiarity of the poisonous mist.

The master and disciple duo repeated their strategy, releasing the poisonous mist and then hiding inside the Grand Primordium Bell, waiting for the experts to show up.

It wasn’t long before terrifying auras appeared.

Seven figures in total appeared, all celestial-level experts, but at this moment, their expressions were unpleasant. After all, at their level, they mostly stayed in seclusion, focusing on comprehending martial arts. How could they know that the toxic mist had enveloped the surroundings? By the time they realized, they had already inhaled some of it.

This caused their strength to diminish, just like the previous four celestial experts that the master and disciple duo had eliminated, sustaining injuries before they even attacked. They had to exert a lot of power to expel the toxic mist and recover their bodies.

As a result, their strength was significantly consumed, and the master and disciple duo, waiting in the dark, began their second attack.

However, this time, there were more celestial-level experts, so the two couldn’t resolve it as quickly as the last time.

After some time passed.

Of the seven celestial-level experts, five were slain, and two escaped.

Ye Qiu and Zhuang Miaoshan did not chase them down. Eliminating five celestial experts was satisfying enough, and the two who escaped need not be killed.

After all, their goal was to destroy this place.

To prevent the two escaping celestial experts from quickly calling for reinforcements, the master and disciple duo quickly retreated after succeeding.

......

Dugu Clan’s small world!

At this moment, several geniuses who targeted the heavenly palace had returned, attracting much attention.

When Xuan Ye mentioned an eye for an eye, the geniuses requested to go out, all wanting to strike against the heavenly palace.

Then Xuan Ye pointed out the way to attack the heavenly palace, and with the elders leading them, the Dugu clan geniuses set off.

This time, they could be described as returning triumphantly, having destroyed two heavenly palace branches in total.

Dugu Qing was full of spirit, and the previous dejection of being defeated by Ye Qiu was long gone. Now, like a hero returning from a conquest, confidence and pride filled his face again.

The Dugu clan elders also praised Dugu Qing, making him very happy, thinking that he finally stood out. This time, he indeed showed some prominence in the Dugu clan.

After all, it could be said that because of him, one of the heavenly palace branches was destroyed, which even the other geniuses had to acknowledge.

Dugu Yao and Brother Ye had become much more reserved, no longer as arrogant as before, now appearing normal and somewhat silent.

Dugu Cheng and Dugu Yan conversed with the Guardians, discussing many battle details from this time.

"You all did very well. The Emperor’s clan targeted us so precisely, and today you’ve avenged us a little, but don’t be complacent. Those two branches were the weakest. You still have a long way to go," Xuan Ye gradually said.

The geniuses listened quietly, nodding frequently, agreeing with Xuan Ye’s ancestral words.

After Xuan Ye warned them, Dugu Qing spoke up, "Ancestor, you mentioned that if anyone performs well against the Emperor’s clan, they will have the opportunity to take your position. Is this true?"

"Of course, the Emperor’s clan has always targeted our Dugu clan. If anyone makes the greatest contribution when facing the Emperor’s clan, I will naturally consider that person to inherit my position and lead the Dugu clan," Xuan Ye said.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Qing was overjoyed. In that case, he considered that he had achieved quite a significant accomplishment.

This time, Dugu Qing couldn’t help but think of Ye Qiu, who was highly valued by the ancestor, but it didn’t matter now. Whoever made the greatest contribution to the Dugu clan during the encounter with the Emperor’s clan would be eligible to govern the future of the Dugu clan.

"Ancestor, then this time, you should mark a first-class merit for me," Dugu Qing said.

Xuan Ye smiled, slowly saying, "Whether you have first-class merit will only be known when one more person returns; it’s not yet time to make a decision."

Dugu Qing frowned. Who was the ancestor waiting for? Weren’t all the geniuses present?

Could it be him?

Dugu Qing suddenly remembered Ye Qiu, but quickly thought even if it was Ye Qiu, how could he and his master destroy a heavenly palace branch like they did?

"I want to see if your contribution is greater than mine!" Dugu Qing thought to himself.
