Chapter 2274 - 2275: Another Shock!
After a night of heavy drinking, when he opened his eyes, it was already the next day.
What must come will inevitably come. Ye Qiu didn’t discuss the current situation with everyone yesterday; today he certainly won’t deliberately avoid mentioning it.
Everyone gathered together, Ye Qiu took the initiative to mention that he plans to leave.
Upon hearing Ye Qiu was leaving, Jin Xiaoshun and Hua Wuji were somewhat puzzled as to why he couldn’t stay here to cultivate, since neither the major sects nor the Heavens could find them anyway.
Ye Qiu’s answer was simple; he couldn’t stay here forever, ignoring the affairs of the Heavens targeting the Du Gu clan.
Setting aside grievances with the major sects, the lineage of the Du Gu family within the Heavens must be saved.
Moreover, keeping everyone from the Dan Shen Sect here isn’t feasible either, as this place is ultimately just a corner of the world.
Clearly, the vast world outside beckons, yet because of his presence, they dare not venture out easily, causing Ye Qiu some unease.
Truth is, Ye Qiu also wants to stay here, living each day like yesterday, but he knows it’s unrealistic as there are many things waiting for him to do.
Jin Shanshun and Qin Feng have yet to emerge from the Galaxy Path. Once the two of them appear at the ancestral ground, it will surely attract people from other sects or the Heavens, presenting them with a predicament.
Secondly, Lin Qiao’er, Shen Mengchen, and Fang Sijie mother and daughter are still at the Beast God; he must retrieve them, and Caroline and his uncle Du Gu Ao are still without news. How could he just hide here indefinitely?
"Xiaoshun, Wuji, while I’ve been away, you’ve managed things here very well. Continuing like this, the Dan Shen Sect will soon grow strong." Ye Qiu said as he looked at the two.
"However, here might not remain safe forever; the Heavens and major sects are searching for me everywhere, and if any trace is exposed, this place would become their target."
Ye Qiu’s words led everyone to silence—indeed, this place only remains hidden because Ye Qiu concealed it with a Formation. Should a strong person discover it, it would be instantly exposed.
Ye Qiu thought about relocating everyone to the Du Gu family’s small world for utmost safety, since it is a small world and difficult to discover.
Yet Ye Qiu has concerns; for one, that place isn’t his to command, as it belongs to the Du Gu clan. While he could stay there himself, bringing everyone there would draw criticism, and if conflict arose, it would be troublesome.
Another worry in Ye Qiu’s heart is the previous event where the ancient land was shattered by a strong person; he cannot let go of that. If the Du Gu small world were exposed, it would be catastrophic.
Ye Qiu doesn’t want to gamble. The Heavens have been searching for the Du Gu clan for many years; should the small world be exposed, it would harm everyone.
Regarding everyone’s safety, Ye Qiu has ideas, but they require action on his part and cannot be realized for now.
"Before I leave, I’ll set up the Formation again to make this place more secure, but you must be mentally prepared to leave here at any moment."
Everyone nodded; if this place were exposed, imaginable is the reaction from the sects and the Heavens.
Finally, Ye Qiu’s gaze fell on Zhuang Miao Shan, saying, "Teacher, I hope you can stay and oversee here."
"It’s too dangerous for you to go out alone." Zhuang Miao Shan frowned slightly, surprised that Ye Qiu wanted him to remain here.
"Teacher, only with you overseeing here can I truly be worry-free in facing those guys."
"With you here, I can act without concerns, and I hope you can also instruct them. With your guidance, I believe they will soon grow."
"Additionally, with the Supreme Emperor Bell and my hidden cards, even if faced with danger that I can’t defeat, I can escape. You need not worry about my safety."
Zhuang Miao Shan pondered for a while before saying, "Alright, since you insist, I’ll help oversee the base."
Ye Qiu smiled; everyone’s safety concerns him most. Merely hiding this place with Formation was not enough to reassure him, but now with Zhuang Miao Shan, alongside the Formation, even if exposed, there’s time to escape.
Then Ye Qiu began to solidify the great Formation. Although he had not focused much on studying the art of Formations recently, with his strengthening abilities, his understanding of Formations deepened.
The Grand Dao Formation is an extremely profound book on Formations, with Formations pointing to the origins of the Grand Dao.
As Ye Qiu’s experiences grew, it took him only one day to deepen his understanding of Formations, and he began setting up anew.
After strengthening the Formation, Ye Qiu continued to set up teleportation arrays inside, ready for emergencies, allowing everyone to leave here instantly.
Having done everything, Ye Qiu bade farewell to everyone and left.
Shangguan Mingyue, Tang Surou, and Jin Zhimo watched as Ye Qiu gradually disappeared, and Jin Xiaoshun and Hua Wuji immediately sought counsel from Zhuang Miao Shan, hoping to swiftly enhance their abilities to aid Ye Qiu.
Currently, Ye Qiu faces the major sects and the Heavens alone.
They wish to contribute their effort as well.
Leaving the concealed place, Ye Qiu remained in the Supreme Emperor Bell without exposing a trace, fearing that experts from the Heavens or sect allies might find him by tracing the source.
Only after traveling far did Ye Qiu finally reveal himself.
Settling the base eased a sigh; with teacher Zhuang Miao Shan overseeing, there’s need for minimal worry.
Next, he must resolve his enmity with the major sects and the Heavens.
Previously, Ye Qiu had slain six mighty figures from the major sects. Ye Qiu knows this inevitably sparked considerable discussion; surely many will be discussing it within the ancestral land now.
However, as long as Ye Qiu remains hidden, the opponents remain powerless against him.
But continuing to hide isn’t practical; Ye Qiu dislikes passivity and prefers initiating attacks.
"Your major sects join together, constantly wishing to expose me and deal with me. Now I shall let you experience being targeted." Ye Qiu’s lips curved, his eyes cold.
Now the major sects loathe him; they’re certainly still frantically searching for him, so Ye Qiu decides to show himself and present them with a gift.
Resolving his mind, Ye Qiu activated the Supreme Emperor Bell and quickly traversed.
That very day, Ye Qiu first and quickly attacked the branches of the Taiyi God Sect, Donghua Sect, Hunyuan Sect, Demon God Sect, among others.
Upon hearing the news, every sect was furious, interpreting Ye Qiu’s actions as provocations and revenge.
The ancestral land was once again abuzz with discussions at unprecedented heights.
Because this time, Ye Qiu actively initiated trouble, causing significant devastation to the joint sect branches, rivaling the news of killing Heaven-tier figures.
Suddenly, Ye Qiu becomes the central topic of discussion once more.
