"You said you were ambushed?"

"Yes, my lord, that person was very powerful. I only managed to escape by sheer luck."

At this moment, Ye Qiu, disguised as Li Batian, maintained the appearance of being heavily injured and revealed the incident where all the martial artists he sent out were killed.

Di Huo and Di Cun heard this but didn’t seem inclined to pursue.

Swish, swish, swish.

A row of martial artists suddenly appeared behind Ye Qiu, surrounding him.

"My lord, what are you doing?"

Di Huo and Di Cun both sneered coldly, "Ye Qiu, did you really think you could fool us?"

Uh...

Exposed!

Ye Qiu’s heart skipped, but he continued to mimic Li Batian’s tone, "My lord, what are you saying? I don’t understand. Are you saying the one who ambushed us was Ye Qiu?"

"Heh, is there any point in maintaining this charade?" Di Cun’s figure flashed, blocking Ye Qiu’s escape route, while Di Huo stood in front.

Clearly, they had already determined that Ye Qiu’s disguise as Li Batian was fake.

"How did you find out?" Since they had already made up their minds, there was no point in Ye Qiu continuing the act. He initially thought that by suddenly returning and presenting the news to Di Huo and Di Cun, they would pursue and search, allowing him the chance to rescue the descendants of the Du Gu clan held here.

However, plans never keep up with changes, and Di Huo and Di Cun didn’t act but instead recognized his true identity as Ye Qiu.

Where did I expose myself? Ye Qiu also wanted to know how the two of them found out.

"Surprised, are you?" Di Huo said flatly, "We were already suspicious the first time you appeared. When you showed up again a few days later, I suspected that you might be disguising yourself as a native of Ziwei Star."

"It turns out I wasn’t wrong. So many people died, yet you alone survived. Do you think that’s reasonable?"

After hearing this, Ye Qiu nodded and suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at?"

"I’m laughing because you two are actually quite smart," Ye Qiu said.

"Did you think we were fools?"

"Heh, reality has proven you’re not that dumb."

"Courting death!"

The conversation had reached this point, and it was pointless to continue bantering. After Di Cun and Di Huo both shouted, they, along with the martial artists behind them, charged.

Ye Qiu showed no panic. Being recognized wasn’t an issue for him; he remained calm and unafraid.

The power of a Supreme Saint level burst forth, sending more than a dozen Return to Ruins realm martial artists flying with one strike. This scene left Di Huo and Di Cun momentarily stunned, though both were Supreme Saints themselves and wouldn’t be intimidated by Ye Qiu.

"Die!"

The two attacked from front and back, trying to quickly subdue Ye Qiu. Two powerful forces suddenly enveloped Ye Qiu.

Immediately after, at the center of their attack, a massive pillar of fire erupted.

Boom!

The division of the heavenly palace shook with the force.

The two temporarily halted, awaiting the result, and shortly thereafter, a beam of light shot from there, instantly appearing in front of Di Cun.

Swish.

Di Cun’s mind tensed; his vision occupied by the colossal Taihuang Bell crashing down on him.

As it turned out, Ye Qiu had not defended against the attacks from Di Huo and Di Cun at all but had instead retreated into the Taihuang Bell, receiving no damage and immediately launched a counterattack.

Boom, boom, boom.

The Taihuang Bell continually smashed at Di Cun, forcing him to retreat repeatedly, while Di Huo joined the fray.

Ye Qiu’s expression shifted. As Di Huo approached, he flipped his palm, the Bahuang Sword appearing in hand. With a backhand flick, he shouted, "Go!"

The Bahuang Sword, like a spirit snake, autonomously attacked Di Huo.

On the battlefield, Ye Qiu commanded two great treasures against Di Huo and Di Cun, the sons of the Heavenly Emperor.

Martial artists poured out from within the heavenly palace division, charging at Ye Qiu, who punched out directly, knocking down large swathes.

Besides a Supreme Saint, who could contend with him, the other martial artists were no match at all.

Di Huo and Di Cun found themselves entangled with the two great treasures, unable to gain an upper hand, and this frustrated them greatly. They were the sons of the Heavenly Emperor, supposedly holding an advantage two against one, yet they couldn’t swiftly resolve Ye Qiu.

At this moment, a foreboding sensation hit Ye Qiu, and he turned sharply. His gaze fell deep within the heavenly palace division, where transcendent beings were awakening.

No good, a transcendent being is coming.

Ye Qiu changed his expression abruptly, knowing he had to swiftly deal with Di Cun and Di Huo.

"Corrupt!"

Ye Qiu instantly unleashed the power of corruption, his body covered in mysterious black patterns, his aura skyrocketing, rapidly approaching transcendence.

Di Huo and Di Cun were taken aback.

Familiar with the bloodline power of the Du Gu clan, they knew what corruption meant on the battlefield, especially when the strengths were evenly matched. Once corruption was activated, the balance would tilt instantly toward victory.

"No good!"

"Elder, save us!"

In that moment, panic set in for Di Cun and Di Huo. Ye Qiu’s aura had already made them wary. Without the intervention of a transcendent elder, they’d be in grave danger.

Ye Qiu knew the two were anticipating rescue, hoping for transcendent beings to come and save them.

"No one can save you two," Ye Qiu said coldly, intending to kill them before the transcendent beings arrived.

"Taihuang Bell!"

In his corrupted state, Ye Qiu commanded as the Taihuang Bell exuded even more terrifying energy, beginning to reveal its true power.

The higher the strength, the more one can utilize the power of such a treasure as Taihuang Bell. With Ye Qiu in a corrupted state, equivalent to half a step toward transcendence, naturally, he could wield Taihuang Bell’s power beyond the usual.

Meanwhile, the Bahuang Sword also underwent transformation, radiating an even more intimidating Sword Qi.

"Retreat!"

Seeing no elder arriving, Di Huo and Di Cun panicked further, wanting to withdraw from the confrontation with the two great treasures, retreating back into the heavenly palace division.

Ye Qiu, having seized such an opportunity, wouldn’t let them escape.

A cold smile flitted across his face as he said with eerie calm, "Hand over your lives!"

Images of the Du Gu clan being held captive by the heavenly palace, of their descendants suffering every cruelty, appeared in Ye Qiu’s mind.

His intent to kill intensified, growing even fiercer.

Die!

No sooner had he spoken, the Bahuang Sword unleashed supreme Sword Qi, while the Taihuang Bell resounded with an earth-shattering toll.

Instantly, the two great treasures unleashed half their power, sweeping through the entire heavenly palace division in an instant.

Swish!

The Sword Qi struck Di Cun.

The tolling of the bell shook Di Huo.

These two attacks converged simultaneously on the two sons of the emperor.

Both showed a frozen expression.

At the same time, several transcendent beings’ auras suddenly surged toward them.
