CHAPTER 1224: CHAPTER 1224: BEYOND EARTH! (THIRD UPDATE)

Ye Qiu disappeared, and the Red-robed High Priest breathed a sigh of relief. If it weren’t for the divine transmission telling him to immediately activate the Five Star Transmission Array to send Ye Qiu away, they wouldn’t have been a match for Ye Qiu.

Fortunately, there was a scare with no danger, letting this troublesome Eastern man completely disappear from Earth.

"Alright, those who blasphemed against the gods have received their due punishment, and this is the guidance of the gods. Without them, we would have faced misfortune," the Red-robed High Priest said to the crowd.

Many in the crowd thanked their gods for blessing them.

All the believers dispersed, leaving only the Red-robed High Priest, who knelt on the ground, facing the statue.

At this moment, the statue came to life again, speaking lightly: "You’ve done well. After today, there will be no more of that Eastern human in this world."

"It’s still your foresight, predicting his arrival long ago, setting up the trap and inviting him into it. All of this is the result of your guidance," the Red-robed High Priest said, bowing his head.

"Hmm..." The statue’s eyes emitted light, clearly pleased with the Red-robed High Priest’s words.

"How’s the other task I assigned to you?"

The Red-robed High Priest, still bowing his head, said, "We have already found a suitable body. By then, you can truly return."

"Very good. When I return, I will reward you greatly," the statue said with satisfaction.

The Red-robed High Priest withdrew and, after conveying some instructions, the statue gazed toward the East, revealing a contemplative divine light.

"The opportunity is approaching. How can this grand event be left to those Easterners alone? My Western world must also participate."

"My power is still lacking a bit. If I could garner more power from belief, there would be no need to find any body. Unfortunately, the time is too short, too short..."

...

The world’s number one martial artist, Ye Qiu, has disappeared!

After Ye Qiu was transmitted to another planet, a piece of news exploded within the underground network and the entire martial world.

For a moment, many people were engaged in heated discussions.

On the underground network, many people demanded the poster provide evidence, saying, "No picture, no truth!"

There were naturally no pictures, but the poster’s ID was quite extraordinary, belonging to someone with significant influence in the underground world, ultimately claiming that Ye Qiu’s disappearance was related to the Vatican.

Immediately, the Vatican became the subject of heated discussions among the people.

The Vatican is no ordinary place; it is the dwelling of the divine, with numerous believers.

Ye Qiu disappeared there. Did he have a conflict with the believers?

Many people speculated, believing that a great battle must have occurred between Ye Qiu and those believers.

In the martial world, many who were familiar with Ye Qiu couldn’t help but worry. Ye Qiu’s friend, Meng Chong, immediately went to the Goddess Villa to find Ye Qiu, but unfortunately, Ye Qiu was nowhere to be seen.

Moreover, the phone was not answered, truly making it seem like he had vanished.

Ye Qiu was an Eastern martial artist. His disappearance would inevitably cause a stir among martial artists in other countries.

For a time, the martial world was actively searching for Ye Qiu’s whereabouts.

In the Capital City, news of Ye Qiu’s disappearance spread too, as it had already become a topic of global attention. A place like the Capital City, a hub of power and gathering of important figures, naturally had people spreading it around.

The Iron Triangle family, upon hearing the news for the first time, was somewhat incredulous. Song Jie immediately attempted to contact Ye Qiu, only to find that Ye Qiu was not at the villa on Wangyue Peak, nor in the city of ZS.

Song Jie’s mother, a beautiful woman, summoned the family heads of the Luo and Jiang families to discuss the next steps for the three families. Ultimately, they agreed that all actions would continue as usual, without showing weakness, and they would continue to boldly increase the strength of the three families.

According to the beautiful woman, even if Ye Qiu is not around, they must act as if he is. These families, which rely on Ye Qiu, cannot panic at such a critical time. They must remain steady to create a false illusion for others, which would be more beneficial for the development of the three families.

Otherwise, if the Iron Triangle’s three families immediately become docile, it would further confirm that Ye Qiu has indeed disappeared, and at that time, wouldn’t many come to target the three families?

For now, even if they are weak inside, they must maintain the facade.

Half a month later, Jin Shanshun, Qin Feng, and the Purple Gold Rat returned from a mountainous area, their gains considerable. In more than half a month, they had discovered over ten locations of sealers.

The credit, of course, mainly went to the Purple Gold Rat. Without his rat-like searching capabilities, it would have been really difficult for the two of them to achieve this on their own.

The three returned to the Goddess Villa, hoping to share their experiences with Ye Qiu, but when they didn’t see Ye Qiu, they heard the news of Ye Qiu’s disappearance.

"The young master is missing?" Jin Shanshun frowned.

Given his understanding of Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu wouldn’t disappear easily, and in this world, there were virtually no threats to him.

Glancing at Qin Feng and the Purple Gold Rat, Jin Shanshun said, "No need to worry. The young master is blessed and will get through any great difficulties, let others spread their rumors. I trust the young master."

Qin Feng and the Purple Gold Rat smiled.

Jin Shanshun’s words were also meant to reassure everyone, worried that Qin Feng and the Purple Gold Rat might harbor their own thoughts and take this opportunity to leave.

But observing their expressions, Jin Shanshun’s concern wasn’t unfounded. After all, when Ye Qiu was around, his power could suppress the two. Now, with Ye Qiu gone, Jin Shanshun’s power wasn’t enough to make the two willingly stay.

Another half a month passed, marking exactly one month since Ye Qiu’s disappearance. Initially, people thought it might have been a joke, but now, many believed it.

Fortunately, Jin Shanshun’s worries didn’t come true. Neither Qin Feng nor the Purple Gold Rat left, which reassured him greatly.

Qin Feng and the Purple Gold Rat had their reasons for not leaving, knowing that in the coming months, Earth’s fortune and catastrophe would simultaneously arrive, and it would be exceedingly dangerous.

The two of them were already aboard Ye Qiu’s ship, having killed numerous sealers. Now, even if they wanted to disembark, it wouldn’t change the reality of what had happened.

"Young master, where have you gone?" Jin Shanshun decided to temporarily give up searching for sealers and prioritize finding Ye Qiu instead.

Thus, after discussing with Qin Feng and the Purple Gold Rat, the three began searching for any clues regarding Ye Qiu’s disappearance.

As the three embarked on their search for Ye Qiu’s traces, on a dark and desolate planet,

Ye Qiu had been trapped there for a month, and his condition wasn’t good.

"If this continues, even without food and water, relying only on consuming my own power, I can last at most another three months," Ye Qiu thought seriously.

Initially anxious and restless upon arrival, Ye Qiu had become much more composed now, understanding that no amount of anger could change the current situation.

His main concern now was figuring out how to leave here and return to Earth.
