The Saint-level killing arrays were completely incinerated by the strange fire, and suddenly fresh air rushed in from all directions.
“You little brat, you acted too quickly.”
The Longbrow True Person said with heartache and indignation, “Su Wuming must have had quite a few treasures on him, and this City Lord’s Mansion also had plenty of good things. Now you have burned everything to nothing with one fire.”
“What, are you blaming me?” Ye Qiu looked at the Longbrow True Person with cold eyes, black flames flickering at his fingertip.
The Longbrow True Person, fearing that Ye Qiu might actually attack him, shamelessly laughed and said, “How could this poor Daoist blame you?”
“You killed them well!”
“Those scum from the Yin-Yang Sect deserve to die!”
At this point, a look of regret appeared on the Longbrow True Person’s face. He continued, “It is just a pity that the entire City Lord’s Mansion has been burned clean. This poor Daoist will never get the chance to drink City Lord Lu’s thousand-year-old fine wine.”
If he had not mentioned it, things might have been fine, but the moment he did, Ye Qiu immediately felt annoyed.
“Bloody hell, if you had not wanted to drink and jumped off the Wind-Riding Boat on your own, would we have fallen into their trap?” Ye Qiu said. “Luckily I have the strange fire, otherwise even if we managed to escape alive today, I would have lost half my life.”
The Longbrow True Person felt a bit guilty and said, “Little brat, I am sorry…”
Ye Qiu interrupted him, “Do not tell me you are sorry. From now on, just control yourself. Do not let the mention of wine make your legs go weak.”
“Understood.” The Longbrow True Person nodded. He glanced at the strange fire on Ye Qiu’s fingertip, his eyes rolling as he said, “Little brat, how about we discuss something?”
“What is it?” Ye Qiu asked.
The Longbrow True Person said, “Once we return to the secular world in the future, the two of us can team up and start a business. We can open a crematorium.”
The corner of Ye Qiu’s mouth twitched.
Bloody hell, how could he even come up with such an idea? Has he gone mad thinking about money?
Before Ye Qiu could respond, the Longbrow True Person continued, “Then I will be in charge of receiving the corpses, and you will handle the burning.”
“You have the strange fire, so we will not need to buy any other cremation equipment. We can save a lot on costs.”
“Once the crematorium is up and running, piles of white silver will flow into our pockets like running water.”
“As for the profits from the crematorium, we will split them seventy-thirty. I take seventy, you take thirty.”
“Little brat, are you interested? Let me tell you…”
Buzz!
At that moment, Ye Qiu suddenly sensed that the Xuanyuan Sword hidden in his left eye was gently trembling.
“Hmm?” Ye Qiu’s heart jolted.
The Xuanyuan Sword issuing a warning meant there was danger.
The Longbrow True Person said, “Little brat, I am talking to you. Are you even listening…”
“Shut up.” Ye Qiu interrupted the Longbrow True Person and warned, “Be careful. There is danger.”
He knew very well that the Xuanyuan Sword would never warn him for no reason.
The Longbrow True Person looked left and right and asked, “Where is the danger?”
Ye Qiu looked up and carefully observed. He saw that Elder Niu was still exchanging blows with the two Saints, neither side gaining the upper hand. It seemed unlikely that a victor would emerge anytime soon.
“It should not be Elder Niu. Then where exactly is this danger coming from?”
“Could there be hidden enemies in the shadows?”
Thinking of this, Ye Qiu immediately activated his Heavenly Eye and scanned the sky, but he found nothing unusual.
Ye Qiu then checked the Xuanyuan Sword again. At this moment, the Xuanyuan Sword was quietly resting in his left eye and had stopped trembling.
“Strange.”
Ye Qiu frowned slightly.
At the same time, tens of thousands of li away, deep in the void, a pair of blood-red eyes devoid of any emotion were hidden. This person was none other than the Blood Slave.
“Even from such a great distance, Ye Changsheng actually sensed something. This kid is not simple.”
“Moreover, with such low cultivation, he can actually subdue a heaven-grade upper-rank strange fire. That really surprised me.”
“No wonder the sect leader sent me here.”
The Blood Slave had arrived long ago. He had been hiding in the shadows, observing everything without showing himself or taking action. Before coming, the Infinite Heavenly Venerable had instructed him that if Su Wuming and the two elders could not handle it, then he should step in.
The Blood Slave had personally witnessed everything that happened in the City Lord’s Mansion. Su Wuming and the thousands of guards perishing in the sea of fire did not cause even the slightest emotional fluctuation in him.
He was an emotionless killer. Apart from the sect leader’s orders, he cared about nothing else.
Back in the City Lord’s Mansion.
“Old man, this place is not safe to linger. Wait here for me. I will go help Dali deal with those two Saints.”
After saying that, Ye Qiu soared into the sky.
When Elder Niu saw Ye Qiu appear, he immediately pulled away from the two Saints and came to Ye Qiu’s side. He said, “Master, it is dangerous here. You should leave quickly. I can handle them.”
Even now, Elder Niu had not used his ultimate technique, the Great Strength Divine Fist.
Ye Qiu believed that if Elder Niu unleashed the Great Strength Divine Fist, even if he could not kill the two Saints of the Yin-Yang Sect, he could at least severely injure them.
“Dali, take a rest. Let me give it a try.” Ye Qiu said.
Elder Niu was shocked. “Master, they are both Saint-level powerhouses. Your cultivation…”
“Just let me try!” Ye Qiu’s attitude was firm.
He wanted to test the power of the strange fire.
Previously, Ye Qiu had used the heaven-grade upper-rank strange fire to burn Su Wuming and the two peak Tongshen guards to death. Now he wanted to see if a Saint-grade strange fire could burn Saint-level powerhouses to death.
If Saint-grade strange fire could kill Saint-level powerhouses, then in the future he could walk sideways without fear.
Moreover, he still had an Emperor-grade strange fire on him.
“Master, then please be careful.” Elder Niu reminded him and clenched his fists tightly, ready to act if anything went wrong.
Ye Qiu stepped forward through the void, actively walking towards the two Saints of the Yin-Yang Sect.
Seeing his actions, the two Saints revealed cold smiles.
“Merely Cave Heaven cultivation, yet you actually dare to think of facing us. You really do not know the meaning of death.”
“Ye Changsheng, I must say your courage is impressive. Unfortunately, you have no idea how powerful Saint-level powerhouses truly are.”
Ye Qiu hooked his finger at the two Saints in provocation and said, “Come over here. I will send you on your way.”
Utterly arrogant.
“Seeking death.” The Fourth Elder of the Yin-Yang Sect flew into a rage at the sight and was about to charge forward when the Fifth Elder beside him pulled him back.
“Old Fourth, what are you doing?” the Fourth Elder asked.
“Old Fourth, although I also want to kill that kid more than anything, the sect leader ordered us to bring him back alive. We must not take his life.” The Fifth Elder said.
“No need to remind me. I know.” The Fourth Elder shook off the Fifth Elder’s hand and stepped forward through the air towards Ye Qiu.
With every step the Fourth Elder took, the killing intent around him grew stronger, shaking the clouds in all directions.
The killing intent of a Saint-level powerhouse was truly terrifying.
Ye Qiu felt as if an entire sky was pressing down on him, making it hard to breathe. It even felt as though his heart had stopped beating.
Fortunately, both his physical body and primordial spirit were comparable to those of a Saint. Otherwise, before he could even act, the Saint’s killing intent would have torn him to pieces.
The Fourth Elder drew closer and closer to Ye Qiu.
Soon, the distance between them was less than fifty metres.
At that moment, a cluster of golden flames appeared above Ye Qiu’s head.
