Chapter 1427: Chapter 1427: Worlds Apart! Midnight

Twenty times then, twenty times!

Ye Qiu had a look of facing death with equanimity, yet Shangguan Mingyue stood up.

“Hey…”

“Where are you going, why are you leaving?”

Shangguan Mingyue turned back to smile at him, closed the door, and just left.

What happened to the twenty times?

Only then did Ye Qiu realize he’d been teased by Shangguan Mingyue. Given Shangguan Mingyue’s temperament, how could she let him off so easily?

The small spark in his heart was just about to burst into flames, ready to burn wantonly, when suddenly a bucket of cold water poured down, leaving Ye Qiu both crying and laughing.

After calming down for a while, Ye Qiu cleared his mind. Thinking about what just happened, he scratched his head and sighed, “What a headache!”

The next day, Ye Qiu discovered that all the women who originally stayed at Wangyue Peak had left together.

Jin Shanshun stood aside, looking hesitant, unsure whether to speak or not, but the Purple Gold Mouse blurted out, “Young Master, how did you upset all the Young Mistresses? I saw that when they left, they didn’t look happy at all. They said they don’t want to deal with you for a month.”

Ye Qiu was helpless for a while, it seemed these women were planning to give him the cold shoulder.

“Alright, let’s not worry about that for now, is Cain still asleep?” Putting aside matters of women, Ye Qiu inquired about Cain.

“I’ve already assigned someone to keep an eye on him. Cain has been sleeping the whole time, but his injuries have completely healed now. It looks like he’ll wake up soon.” Jin Shanshun replied.

Ye Qiu nodded slightly, “That’s good.”

“By the way, Young Master, our Saint Heir training battalion is quite popular now. Many people are exchanging contribution points for opportunities to spar with the Saint Heir, so there isn’t a single Saint Heir who’s idle.”

“Oh?” A smile appeared on Ye Qiu’s face as he thought about how the Saint Heirs had turned into sparring partners and were now a grindstone for many Martial Artists. “It seems the Martial Artists’ Guild is developing well; let’s go take a look at those Saint Heirs, and make sure we don’t tire them out too much—after all, they’re our cash cow.”

“Naturally, quite a few collected medicinal herbs have been sent to us by Master Yun, so you can do alchemy again.” Jin Shanshun replied.

“Not bad.” Ye Qiu was very satisfied; from the looks of things, everything was developing nicely.

With a fleeting glance in the direction of Mount Tai, Ye Qiu headed to the formation imprisoning the Saint Heir.

Many Martial Artists were lining up, waiting to spar with the Saint Heir.

Ye Qiu scanned the crowd and noticed that the formation where Saint Heir Luo Tian was held was the most popular, with the longest line.

From afar, Ye Qiu could hear people talking.

“This Saint Heir is too damn arrogant; let’s take him down in shifts, wear him out.”

“Yes exactly, he looks down on us, so we’ll go one by one and grind him down.”

While several Martial Artists were discussing, suddenly someone recognized Ye Qiu and everyone turned their attention to him.

“War God Ye.”

“War God Ye.”

Many Martial Artists nodded in greeting to Ye Qiu, calling him War God Ye.

Ye Qiu was initially stunned, not understanding how he gained the title of War God until Jin Shanshun explained it to him, making him realize just how popular he was online.

“Let’s go in and take a look.” Ye Qiu and his group then entered the formation imprisoning Luo Tian.

The scene changed, with thick fog obscuring the ends, shrouding the surroundings.

Luo Tian stood somewhere, panting heavily, his eyes radiating a stern glow, looking somewhat disheveled, losing the former glory of a Saint Heir.

“How is this guy so strong? We’ve gone in batch after batch, yet we still can’t beat him.” Several Martial Artists were sparring with Luo Tian, seemingly unable to match him.

“Huh? Am I seeing things? That person looks like War God Ye.”

“War God Ye is so busy, he probably wouldn’t come.” Someone said uncertainly.

Until Ye Qiu walked up to them, it was finally confirmed—it really was Ye Qiu, and they all saluted him, respectfully calling him War God Ye.

Ye Qiu nodded. With his current strength and status, accepting such respects from Martial Artists was perfectly appropriate—it was the treatment due to a strong person, which only true powerhouses could enjoy.

Ye Qiu rightly received it.

“Continue, don’t mind us.” Ye Qiu said with a smile.

Despite his words, these Martial Artists did not continue, bitterly smiling, “War God is overestimating us. This guy is insanely strong; we’re not his opponents. Let’s see if anyone else can defeat him.”

“Ye Qiu!”

Suddenly, Luo Tian shouted, rushing towards Ye Qiu. The moment he saw Ye Qiu, his fury erupted—this guy finally appeared. If it weren’t for Ye Qiu, he wouldn’t be trapped here all along and becoming a sparring partner for others without end was all Ye Qiu’s fault.

Luo Tian suddenly attacked, and those Martial Artists were shocked, unable to react as Luo Tian bypassed them directly, launching a deadly move at Ye Qiu.

Whoosh.

Luo Tian sent a punch, immediately generating a massive force that shook the entire formation.

This was Luo Tian’s full-force strike. He was playing house with these Martial Artists before—it wasn’t necessary to use his full strength. But even in a single layer, these Martial Artists were no match. Now, the aura Luo Tian erupted with scared those few Martial Artists into immobility.

Just as Jin Shanshun and the others were about to act, a hand stopped them and a calm voice whispered in their ears, “Let me.”

Boom.

The force of the punch exploded, and from the sound, it clearly hit the target. Luo Tian laughed immediately, his voice echoing within the formation, “Haha, Ye Qiu, didn’t expect that, did you? How’s the power of this punch? I’ve been waiting for ages for this moment to finally have you.”

“This is the consequence of using the formation to trap me. I hit your Dantian with this punch, fracturing your dantian, ending your martial path right here. Let’s see how long you can act arrogantly. In a few days, you’ll die at the hands of the other Saint Heirs.” Luo Tian laughed maniacally.

Suddenly, as Luo Tian continued speaking, his facial expression froze like water turning to ice.

He saw that, although his punch hit Ye Qiu’s abdomen, the Dantian position, Ye Qiu was smiling at him. Then with a force he couldn’t resist, Ye Qiu grasped his fist, slowly lifting it.

“How is this possible…” Saint Heir Luo Tian’s eyes widened. His powerful punch couldn’t fail to inflict the slightest harm on Ye Qiu.

“Saint Heir Luo Tian, your realm is stagnant, little do you know I’m no longer the same me.” Ye Qiu exerted force, and Saint Heir Luo Tian’s arm suddenly bent sharply, his forehead instantly beaded with cold sweat.

“You’ve broken through to the Emperor Realm!” Saint Heir Luo Tian exclaimed in shock, but even achieving the Emperor Realm shouldn’t have easily stopped his attack.

“It should be the later stage of the Emperor Realm.” Ye Qiu smiled, and his words struck harshly at Luo Tian’s spirit.

Later stage of the Emperor Realm…

As for the few stunned Martial Artists, looking at Ye Qiu now, their respect turned to even greater admiration.

“War God Ye is incredibly strong!”
