“So urgent?” The little white fox was somewhat surprised.
Although she had long known that Ye Qiu would leave the demon clan, she had thought he would stay a few more days.
Ye Qiu said, “I still have many matters to attend to. I must leave as soon as possible.”
“Attend to what matters?” The little white fox pouted and asked, “Are you going to find Yun Xi?”
“How could you be jealous?” Ye Qiu scraped her nose with his finger and said, “I am going to search for my father.”
“Really?” The little white fox looked unconvinced.
“Would I deceive you? The main reason I came to the cultivation world is to find my father.” Ye Qiu said, “My father is wanted by the Yin-Yang Sect. His life or death is uncertain. I must find him quickly.”
The little white fox hugged Ye Qiu and said, “Why not let me accompany you when you leave?”
Ye Qiu shook his head and refused. “The demon clan cannot be without a leader for a single day. You must remain here.”
“But I cannot bear to part with you.” The little white fox’s face was full of gloom.
Ye Qiu kissed her cheek and said, “If two hearts are bound for eternity, what need is there for constant companionship? Rest assured, when I have time, I will return to see you.”
The little white fox said, “You must not deceive me.”
Ye Qiu countered, “When have I ever deceived you?”
“Yesterday you deceived me. You said you could last three hours, but in reality you only lasted one hour…” As the little white fox spoke of this, her face turned so red it almost dripped water.
Ye Qiu said, “You cannot blame me. If you had not kept begging for mercy, I could have fought another eight hundred rounds.”
“Who told you to be so fierce.” The little white fox put away her smile and said seriously, “Changsheng, it is fine if you do not let me accompany you, but I want to arrange a few people to protect you.”
“You must not refuse this.”
“You have so many enemies. Once you leave the demon clan, you will be in danger at every moment.”
Ye Qiu had the same intention and asked, “Whom do you plan to send to protect me?”
The little white fox said, “I have not decided specifically whom yet, but it will certainly be selected from the ten great elders. After all, in the demon clan, apart from me, they have the highest cultivation.”
“Forget it. I should summon them for a meeting instead!”
“Let us see who is willing to protect you!”
Having said this, the little white fox directly pulled open her throat and shouted outwards, “Ten great elders, come quickly for a meeting!”
Her voice was like rolling thunder, spreading thousands of li.
Then, when Ye Qiu and the little white fox had dressed and stepped down from the spirit bed, the little white fox’s legs went soft. She nearly fell to the ground, but fortunately Ye Qiu caught her in time.
“What is wrong?” Ye Qiu asked with concern.
“It is all your fault.” The little white fox gave Ye Qiu a resentful glance and said, “It is swollen.”
Er…
Ye Qiu sweated profusely.
They left the sleeping palace and arrived at the council hall.
By this time, the ten great elders had all assembled. In addition, Long Brow Daoist had also come.
The ten great elders had not yet had time to pay respects to Ye Qiu and the little white fox when they saw Long Brow Daoist with one hand on his waist and the other pointing at Ye Qiu, shouting, “Little brat, do you dare to duel me one-on-one?”
In an instant, the ten great elders looked at Long Brow Daoist with strange expressions, thinking, Has this fellow’s brain been flooded?
He actually dares to challenge Master to a duel. Does he have a death wish?
“Old fellow, what madness is this?” Ye Qiu asked.
Long Brow Daoist arrogantly said, “Little brat, this poor Taoist asks you, do you dare to duel me one-on-one?”
“Why should I duel you one-on-one?” Ye Qiu countered.
“I understand. You are scared.” Long Brow Daoist said, “Little brat, a man cannot be cowardly. If I were you and someone challenged me to a duel, I would certainly beat him flat.”
Ye Qiu found it somewhat amusing and explained, “I am not scared. I simply cannot understand why, out of the blue, you want to duel me one-on-one.”
“The reason is… this poor Taoist wishes to spar with you.” Long Brow Daoist said arrogantly, “Little brat, either admit defeat and publicly call me Big Brother.”
“Or accept my challenge.”
“Rest assured, since we have such a good relationship, I will not cripple you.”
Hearing this, the ten great elders looked at Long Brow Daoist as if he were an idiot.
This person…
must truly be mad!
Elder Ox could not stand it and prepared to help Ye Qiu teach Long Brow Daoist a lesson, but Elder Bear pulled him back with one tug.
Elder Bear shook his head, signalling Elder Ox not to interfere.
“Old fellow, you want to challenge me? Fine, I accept.” After Ye Qiu finished speaking, he stepped towards Long Brow Daoist.
Seeing Ye Qiu agree to the duel, Long Brow Daoist felt a surge of excitement in his heart, thinking secretly, Heaven has eyes. Finally, there is a chance to thrash the little brat, and in front of the demon clan’s high-level members, I can even show off a bit.
Thinking of this, Long Brow Daoist beckoned to Ye Qiu with his finger and said, “Little brat, make your move!”
Ye Qiu said, “You make the first move.”
Long Brow Daoist said, “You go first, lest afterwards people say I bullied the young with age. Moreover, my cultivation is higher than yours. Once I move first, you will have no chance to fight back.”
“You truly are confident!” Ye Qiu smiled faintly and said, “Since you insist, then I will not hold back.”
Long Brow Daoist was extremely conceited. “No need to hold back. Come at me with everything. Remember, use your strongest techniques, or after you move, you will have no chance to move again.”
“Good, I will do as you say.” After Ye Qiu finished speaking, he threw a punch.
Boom!
Blazing golden light poured out, carrying terrifying power, divine and invincible.
“Holy crap… ouch…”
Long Brow Daoist first let out a startled cry, then a pained yelp. Then, under everyone’s gaze, he was sent flying by Ye Qiu’s single punch.
Bang!
Long Brow Daoist was beaten until his nose was bruised and his eyes swollen. He quickly scrambled up from the ground, pointed at Ye Qiu, and exclaimed in shock, “Little brat, your cultivation…”
Ye Qiu grinned and said, “Old fellow, I forgot to tell you. Actually, my cultivation has progressed a tiny bit. Not much, but a little more than yours.”
Long Brow Daoist flew into a rage. “Little brat, you tricked me?”
“How did I trick you? It was clearly you who insisted on duelling me.” Ye Qiu shook his head and sighed, “Old fellow, remember one phrase: if you do not court death, you will not die.”
At this moment, the ten great elders came before Ye Qiu, bowed in salute, and respectfully said, “We pay respects to Master.”
Master?
“What is going on?” Long Brow Daoist was utterly confused.
Elder Sheep explained, “Taoist, you still do not know? While you were gathering divine herbs, the ten great elders of our demon clan have all taken Ye Qiu as our master.”
“Now we are all disciples of Young Master Ye.”
“Not only that, neither Old Bear nor Old Ox is a match for Master.”
“Master has obtained the demon clan’s fortune. Within the demon clan’s territory, even a saint king could not defeat Master.”
What?
Long Brow Daoist was dumbfounded. He asked Ye Qiu, “Is everything Elder Sheep said true?”
Ye Qiu nodded with a smile.
“Damn it, so the clown was me all along. Fuck!” Long Brow Daoist’s face turned green with anger. He turned and left.
“Stop!”
Suddenly, a stern shout came from behind.
