"I refuse to accept this!"

Dugu Qing was the first to stand out, dissatisfied with the result announced by Xuan Ye’s ancestor.

"Why do you refuse?"

Ye Qiu didn’t speak, and Xuan Ye asked.

Dugu Qing pointed at Ye Qiu and said, "Everyone knows that in this operation, we destroyed two divisions of the Tian Gong, not four. Moreover, the destruction of those two had nothing to do with Ye Qiu; on the contrary, I played a significant role. Why is it that the greatest achievement is not mine but his?"

"Is this your reason for refusing?" Xuan Ye asked.

"That’s right. Many can testify for me on this point." Dugu Qing looked at Dugu Cheng, Dugu Yan, and several elders and geniuses.

But he found that these people were relatively silent, completely different from the anger and indignation he had imagined.

Were they afraid of Ye Qiu?

Dugu Qing steeled his heart and thought to himself, "Others may fear you, but I don’t. You may be stronger than me, but so what? In terms of merit, mine is the greatest."

Around him, not a single person stood with Dugu Qing. After a moment of silence, Xuan Ye slowly said, "I know that for two divisions of the Tian Gong, your merit is indeed the greatest. I haven’t overlooked that. But in this operation, regarding the Tian Gong issue, your merit still does not surpass Ye Qiu’s."

"Why?" Dugu Qing couldn’t understand why his contribution wasn’t greater than Ye Qiu’s.

The people around him showed a complicated expression while looking at Dugu Qing, which made him uneasy, internally shouting, "Why don’t you stand up? Are you willing to let Ye Qiu steal the spotlight?"

Unfortunately for Dugu Qing, no one stood up, leaving him disappointed.

Just then, Xuan Ye gave an answer: "I say Ye Qiu’s merit is the greatest because he single-handedly destroyed two Tian Gong divisions. Those two divisions were the territories of Di Kun and Di Luan."

Dugu Qing was dumbfounded.

Only now did he understand why no one around him expressed injustice; they had long known about this.

No wonder they said four divisions were destroyed; it was true, not just as he had imagined.

Embarrassing!

Embarrassment again!

Dugu Qing felt like a clown, no longer speaking, and his entire demeanor turned gloomy, chilling the very air.

Regarding the destruction of the four Tian Gong divisions, everyone within the micro-world understood that among them, two divisions were destroyed by Ye Qiu.

Compared to the two relatively weak divisions of the Tian Gong destroyed by Dugu Qing and others, Ye Qiu and Zhuang Miao Shan—just the two of them—destroyed two stronger divisions. The greater contribution was obvious.

"Let him be pleased, as he destroyed the divisions of Di Kun and Di Luan. They will try everything to kill him; he’d become the focus of Tian Gong’s attention." Dugu Qing consoled himself by changing his perspective, and his mood improved considerably.

After returning to his residence, Ye Qiu didn’t pay any mind to what had just happened; Dugu Qing’s embarrassment was his own doing.

Now he needed to plan his next actions.

Ye Qiu wanted to continue with bigger moves. Destroying one division of the Tian Gong was destruction; destroying multiple was destruction too—why wouldn’t he continue?

"You can pursue your idea, but we must consider one point: previously, we succeeded due to our surprise attack. Now, Tian Gong will surely dispatch stronger entities, perhaps already setting up a trap to catch us," Zhuang Miao Shan reminded.

Ye Qiu understood, taking his teacher Zhuang’s concerns into account. However, he still wanted to give it a try. Tian Gong had targeted the Dugu clan for many years, and now it was time for some payback. In the past, Ye Qiu lacked strength, so he endured silently, but now he can kill entities of multi-dimensional level. Soon, he himself will be advancing to that realm, and even if he directly confronts Tian Gong, so be it.

His continued targeting of Tian Gong is not only for the Dugu clan but for himself as well. He is now irreconcilable with Tian Gong; there’s no chance of truces.

"Thank you for the reminder, teacher. I naturally won’t act hastily," Ye Qiu said.

Regarding the issue of targeting Tian Gong, Ye Qiu felt he needed to plan carefully. Although it’s impossible to prevent all risks, he must consider the worst-case scenario. Otherwise, before killing the enemy, he might end up trapping himself; that would be tragic.

Especially as a genius of the Dugu clan, being caught would lead to severe consequences—definitely extracted for bloodline power by Tian Gong.

Many Dugu clan members are kept by Tian Gong. Just last time, upon entering, Ye Qiu discovered quite a few—and that’s merely one location. Captive Dugu descendants undergo various experiments, enduring all sorts of torture. Those who can be corrupted have their bloodline power extracted, uncaring of whether they’re adults or children, showing no mercy. Towards the Dugu lineage, Tian Gong is ruthless.

Thinking of this ignited waves of killing intent in Ye Qiu’s heart, making him yearn to completely overthrow Tian Gong.

Ye Qiu began strategizing his next actions.

Meanwhile, Tian Gong intensified its pursuit of Ye Qiu, expanding the area of the search warrant from Dong Huang to the other three great wilderness regions.

Soon after, another shocking news emerged. Many sects and forces, including Taiyi Divine Sect, Donghua Sect, Hunyuan Sect, and Shadow Sect, collectively issued a notice to search for Ye Qiu.

The major sects also started taking action; they no longer stood by as mere spectators.

Because at this moment, with Tian Gong’s confrontation with Ye Qiu, that City Lord of the Star River Ancient City didn’t appear, leading the various sects to realize it’s possible Ye Qiu had no ties with that lord. The saving of Ye Qiu was perhaps just accidental—so they could target Ye Qiu without hesitation.

Thus, this astonishing revelation shocked the ancestral lands. Whoever heard this news couldn’t help but lament: Ye Qiu now had enemies everywhere.

Had it been only Tian Gong coming after Ye Qiu, he could conceivably hide in some corner for life, maybe staying hidden.

But now that the major sects of the ancestral lands joined in, the scope was vast. As long as Ye Qiu stayed there, he was at constant risk of exposure.

Ye Qiu really had reached the point where enemies surrounded him.

At least on the ancestral lands, there was nearly no place for him to safely hide.

Inside the Dugu’s micro-world, they kept a close eye on outside news. Information quickly flowed in, and upon learning major sects were also targeting Ye Qiu, some laughed while others worried.

Those worried naturally thought Ye Qiu was decent and hoped for the future of the Dugu clan.

Those laughing, like Dugu Qing, found Ye Qiu irritating.

Soon the news reached Ye Qiu’s ears, but upon hearing it, Ye Qiu remained remarkably calm, indifferent to praise or humiliation.

He had long anticipated this circumstance: "It seems the day has finally come!"
