Supernatural Insight Eyes

"Empty, empty, not a single person!"

"Damn it, this mansion is deserted."

The man of the celestial level endured until the end, forcefully breaking through the layers of arrays, eventually arriving at the depths of the mansion, only to find that it had long been vacated; not to mention human presence, not even a ghostly shadow was left.

Thus, the Fire Lizard tribe vanished from the southern wilderness.

This news spread across the southern wilderness, surprising many beast tribes. Some believed the Beast God had anticipated trouble in advance and thus fled early; others thought perhaps old friends of the Fire Lizard tribe had intervened, taking them away.

Various theories abounded, but regardless, any hopes of finding clues to Ye Qiu through the Beast God were completely dashed.

Just as Ye Qiu destroyed the Shadow branch and disappeared, the Celestial Palace announced an invitation for Ye Qiu to visit, claiming old acquaintances awaited him.

This message, propelled by the Celestial Palace and major sects, swiftly spread throughout the ancestral land.

"Have you heard? The Celestial Palace invited Ye Qiu to come."

"No way he’d go. Knowing there are tigers on the mountain, he still ventures there; such bravery isn’t something everyone possesses."

"If he really goes, he’s walking into a trap."

"I’m curious who the old acquaintances mentioned by the Celestial Palace are. It seems they’re certain Ye Qiu will appear."

"I found out, one is called Wu Yang Venerable, the other is someone named Yun. They seem to be old acquaintances of Ye Qiu."

"No wonder. If that’s the case, Ye Qiu might really reveal himself."

People everywhere were discussing this news, which naturally soon reached Ye Qiu’s ears. Hearing the names Wu Yang Venerable and Yun Boss, Ye Qiu paused momentarily.

"Young Master, this is a dragon’s pool and a tiger’s den."

"The Celestial Palace has planned this for ages, obviously targeting you, Young Master."

Jin Shanshun and Qin Feng both advised him, yet although Ye Qiu didn’t speak, his expression already told everyone he wouldn’t sit idly by; he was definitely going.

"I know everything you said, but..." Ye Qiu paused: "I have a reason I must go."

"But the Celestial Palace won’t let you leave easily."

"I can’t worry about that. I can’t watch them die helplessly."

Ye Qiu had made up his mind, unchangeable; he had a compelling reason to go.

Back in the ancient land, had it not been for Yun Boss and Wu Yang Venerable, Ye Qiu would have died countless times already. Moreover, at that time, to help him, the two didn’t hesitate to become enemies with the then three ancient clans, sacrificing even the Yun Shang Palace.

Such friendship, how could Ye Qiu possibly abandon and ignore it?

Now that the two were in trouble, even if the path ahead was a mountain of knives and a sea of flames, knowing it was seeking death, Ye Qiu still had to go.

If he didn’t go, he wouldn’t be at ease in his heart.

"If Young Master goes, I will too. Even though my strength is not high, I must fight alongside Young Master; if we die, we die together," said Jin Shanshun.

"I’m not one to fear death either, count me in," Qin Feng promptly added.

"Disciple, have you really decided?" Teacher Zhuang Miaoshan asked again. If he truly voluntarily went to the Celestial Palace, even with Ye Qiu’s celestial level strength, it would be extremely dangerous.

The Celestial Palace has existed for ten thousand years. Not to mention the current Heavenly Emperor’s strength, just those he knows, the previous Heavenly Emperor of the Celestial Palace is still alive, stationed in the deepest part of the palace.

No matter how monstrous Ye Qiu is, he couldn’t possibly be a match for such an existence.

Considering the scenario as nine deaths and one life was optimistic. In Zhuang Miaoshan’s view, if Ye Qiu went, it wasn’t nine deaths and one life; it was ten deaths and no return.

Even if he had a hundred lives, he wouldn’t return alive; it was a certain death scenario.

Shangguan Mingyue, Jin Zhimo, Tang Surou, and others remained silent, just watching Ye Qiu with their beautiful eyes.

In their hearts, naturally, they didn’t wish for Ye Qiu to go; anyone could see the Celestial Palace had arranged a dangerous feast.

"I’ve made up my mind. I’m going to save people," Ye Qiu stood up and said to everyone.

Jin Shanshun, Qin Feng, Cain, Jin Xiaoshun, Hua Wuji, and others also stood up, wanting to go together.

Ye Qiu shook his head at them and said, "None of you are allowed to go, except me."

"Young Master."

"You can’t decide like this, we’re not afraid of death."

No one wanted to stay behind.

"Since you recognize me as Young Master, then listen to me; stay here. No matter how dangerous it gets for me, you cannot appear," Ye Qiu said sternly.

This danger, he could face alone, others going would only lead to unnecessary casualties.

Every one of them wanted to speak again, but Ye Qiu said firmly, "If anyone wants to go, it means ending any relationship with me, Ye Qiu."

With that said, no one could persuade him any further; Ye Qiu had crushed their desire to go completely.

Immediately, Jin Shanshun, Qin Feng, and others fell silent, their faces filled with worry.

Ye Qiu looked at Zhuang Miaoshan and said, "Teacher, you should stay behind too. If anything happens to me, I entrust them to you."

"You want me, as a teacher, to watch you go to your death?" Zhuang Miaoshan directly faced Ye Qiu.

"I have never asked you anything before; just this once, let me, your disciple, be selfish, okay?" Ye Qiu pleaded. He could command others, but he couldn’t command his teacher. He knew, if he didn’t find a way to leave his teacher behind, Zhuang Miaoshan would certainly follow him.

One person’s death was far better than both dying.

He didn’t want Teacher Zhuang Miaoshan to go to his death with him.

Ye Qiu owed Wu Yang Venerable and Yun Boss; the teacher did not.

Zhuang Miaoshan remained silent for a long time, then finally nodded, not speaking a word.

"Thank you, Teacher," Ye Qiu bowed and left.

Before leaving, Shangguan Mingyue helped Ye Qiu adjust his collar. Ye Qiu smiled and said, "I know you won’t try to stop me."

"I support whatever you choose to do, but I have one request," Shangguan Mingyue said.

"Speak."

"Come back alive!"

Ye Qiu gently touched Shangguan Mingyue’s cheek and whispered, "I promise."

Then, under everyone’s gaze, Ye Qiu slowly faded away and left.

Shangguan Mingyue shouted to the sky, "We’ll be waiting for you here to come back."

The voice echoed everywhere; what would happen to Ye Qiu on this journey, nobody could predict.

For now, all they could do was pray for Ye Qiu, hoping he could overcome all challenges.

Leaving the Dan Shen Sect, Ye Qiu hovered in the air, looking back at the verdant peaks and lush landscape.

Within it were his close companions, revered teacher, and brothers.

After a long, deep gaze, Ye Qiu took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and his gaze grew resolute.

"Celestial Palace, I, Ye Fentian, am coming."

With those words, Ye Qiu transformed into a streak of light, like a shining meteor, dazzling yet vanishing in an instant.
