“Mid-King realm!”
Priest Chongxu’s face was full of shock.
He had thought his cultivation speed was already impressive, but he never expected Ye Qiu to be even faster.
“How is this possible?”
True Man Long Eyebrow found it hard to believe.
It had only been a little over a month since he last saw Ye Qiu. Back then, Ye Qiu was only at the Venerable realm. How could he have become a mid-King realm expert in just over a month?
“Could this little brat have had another extraordinary encounter?”
Suddenly, True Man Long Eyebrow thought of the ten-thousand-year snow lotus.
“It must be the effect of that snow lotus. Otherwise, this brat’s cultivation couldn’t have advanced so quickly.”
On the ground, Fairy Hundred Flowers’ beautiful eyes shimmered with divine light.
“In just over a month, he broke through an entire major realm. Such cultivation speed is comparable to a prodigy in the cultivation world.”
“Perhaps, in the future, he really can help me find the murderer who killed my master.”
Ye Qiu stood in the air, his body radiating golden light, with seventy-two strands of dragon qi swirling behind him, making him look like a deity.
The crowd was astonished.
“So powerful!”
“Defeating the leaders of Wudang Mountain and Dragon Tiger Mountain with just one move, that’s incredible!”
“Truly like an immortal!”
“…”
Ye Qiu looked down at True Man Long Eyebrow and Priest Chongxu, smiling faintly, “You two have lost. Want to continue?”
Priest Chongxu cupped his hands and said, “No need to continue. Mr. Ye’s strength is extraordinary, and I admit my inferiority.”
“I give up, no more fighting,” True Man Long Eyebrow also said.
Continue? That would just mean more beatings.
“Since you both concede, let me state my condition,” Ye Qiu said. “I’d like you two to guard Kunlun Mountain for a year!”
Hearing this, the War God’s eyes lit up.
Only now did he realise that Ye Qiu had set a trap for the two sect leaders from the start, waiting for them to fall into it.
“No way!” True Man Long Eyebrow said. “I’ve said before, that godforsaken place Kunlun Mountain, this poor Taoist will never go back there.”
Priest Chongxu also said, “Mr. Ye, Wudang Mountain has many matters I need to attend to. I’m afraid I can’t go to Kunlun Mountain.”
“It seems that while you admit defeat with your words, you’re still not convinced in your hearts!” As Ye Qiu spoke, he took out the God-Beating Whip.
Instantly, Priest Chongxu and True Man Long Eyebrow’s eyelids twitched.
“Little brat, what are you doing?”
“Mr. Ye, let’s talk this out calmly.”
Ye Qiu grinned, “I’m someone who prefers to convince others with virtue. Since you’re not convinced, I’ll make you convinced.”
Smack!
Smack!
Ye Qiu swung two whips through the air, sending True Man Long Eyebrow and Priest Chongxu flying.
Ye Qiu pressed forward, delivering two more whips.
Smack!
Smack!
In the face of the God-Beating Whip, the two sect leaders, despite their King-level cultivation, were utterly powerless to resist.
True Man Long Eyebrow roared, “Little brat, you’re not playing fair. If you’ve got the guts, don’t use the God-Beating Whip.”
“Fine,” Ye Qiu put away the God-Beating Whip and shouted, “Cauldron, out!”
Buzz!
Two Qiankun Cauldrons hovered in the air, their aura overwhelming.
In an instant, Priest Chongxu’s face changed drastically, and he said, “Mr. Ye, using weapons isn’t the act of a gentleman, especially since we have no weapons.”
“Got it. You’re not convinced because I used weapons, right? Fine, I won’t use them.”
Ye Qiu retracted the two Qiankun Cauldrons, and his aura rapidly surged. Then he shouted, “Life-Slaying Technique!”
Clang—
A shocking sword hum rang out.
In an instant, thousands of sword intents appeared around Ye Qiu, dense and terrifying.
Priest Chongxu’s face paled.
True Man Long Eyebrow was inwardly panicking but goaded Priest Chongxu, “Old Cow Nose, don’t be afraid of this little brat. He’s just bluffing. This move looks powerful, but it’s all show. If you don’t believe me, go try it.”
Priest Chongxu actually considered trying, taking two steps forward, about to act, when Ye Qiu’s voice rang out.
“Priest Chongxu, think carefully. Not long ago, I used this move to kill two peak-King realm experts.”
What?
Priest Chongxu turned and glared fiercely at True Man Long Eyebrow, cursing, “You dog, you tricked me?”
True Man Long Eyebrow denied it, “Nonsense! This poor Taoist speaks the truth. How could I trick you? It’s clearly this little brat trying to scare you.”
Priest Chongxu, being a cunning old fox, said, “Fine, you dog, you go try it. If you dare, I’ll believe you didn’t trick me.”
True Man Long Eyebrow wasn’t about to go get beaten, saying, “Believe what you want.”
“You were definitely tricking me,” Priest Chongxu suddenly said to Ye Qiu, “Mr. Ye, I can agree to guard Kunlun Mountain for a year, but you must also agree to one condition of mine.”
Ye Qiu said, “Please speak.”
Priest Chongxu said, “Help me beat up that dog.”
“Deal,” Ye Qiu agreed readily, then rushed forward, giving True Man Long Eyebrow a thorough thrashing.
True Man Long Eyebrow fled, clutching his head, cursing as he ran, “You little brat, you bastard, helping someone else beat me? This poor Taoist is done with you.”
“Hey, why are you hitting my head?”
“Stop, stop, I’ll agree, alright?”
Ye Qiu finally stopped, looking at the bruised and battered True Man Long Eyebrow, scolding, “You don’t take the wine offered, but you’ll take the punishment. Are you cheap or what?”
“Little brat, I can go guard Kunlun Mountain, but you must also agree to one condition of mine,” True Man Long Eyebrow said. “Help me beat up Old Cow Nose.”
Priest Chongxu jumped in fright, quickly hiding behind the crowd.
Ye Qiu said, “If you had agreed earlier, I might have considered your condition. But now, I won’t.”
True Man Long Eyebrow was furious, “Hmph, since you’re not being loyal, don’t blame me. You can’t follow me around all the time. Once I leave here, I’ll head back to Dragon Tiger Mountain.”
“This poor Taoist is not going to Kunlun Mountain.”
“That ghost of a place is boring as hell…”
Before True Man Long Eyebrow could finish, he saw Ye Qiu pull out the God-Beating Whip again, scaring him into quickly hiding behind Old Master Ye, saying, “Old Ye, this little brat is going to hit me. Say something for me.”
Old Master Ye said to Ye Qiu, “Qiu’er, Long Eyebrow is still a sect leader. Beating him like this isn’t right. If you’re going to hit him, hit him hard.”
True Man Long Eyebrow’s face turned green with anger.
Ye Qiu said, “Old thing, you and Priest Chongxu will guard Kunlun Mountain together. I bet it won’t be boring anymore.”
“If you dare not go or sneak away halfway, I’ll go dismantle Dragon Tiger Mountain and Wudang Mountain.”
“I, Ye Qiu, always keep my word.”
The two sect leaders’ faces instantly turned as bitter as gourds.
“Alright, everyone, let’s keep drinking.”
At ten o’clock that evening, the full moon banquet ended.
After seeing off the guests, Ye Qiu got into Xiao Zhan’s car and headed to the Dynasty Hotel.
