The Supreme Saint hasn’t arrived yet, but his disciple is here! 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

This middle-aged man is as arrogant as his mentor, the Supreme Saint. As soon as he arrives, he demands to speak with Ye Qiu.

"This guy is incredibly arrogant, please Master Uncle, teach him a lesson and punish him severely."

"Don’t worry, I’ll take care of this little guy." The middle-aged man pounded his chest and promised in response to the words of his disciples from the sect.

With the Master Uncle making a move, the disciples of the Tai Yi Divine Sect all showed joy, as he was a true Saint—not at the level of a Supreme Saint, but still very powerful, far superior to a Semi-Saint.

With a Saint making a move, could Ye Qiu not kneel?

The young disciples of the Tai Yi Divine Sect all wore expressions of anticipation.

Previously, people were still immersed in the atmosphere of Ye Qiu defeating Li Shengyi, but now with the arrival of the Supreme Saint’s disciple, the situation had changed again.

Ye Qiu wants to challenge the master, how could this middle-aged man not make a move?

"Brother Ye..." Li Jin showed a worried expression for Ye Qiu, as the situation was quite unfavorable for him.

Even the Heavenly Mechanism Sage and Wu Tian Sage showed serious expressions.

"This is bad, Zhou Lie is a true Saint, this kid won’t be able to handle it." Wu Tian Sage said.

Heavenly Mechanism Sage was similarly concerned for Ye Qiu; they knew some of Zhou Lie’s strength, just a bit short of theirs, but in any case, Zhou Lie was a Saint, a genuine Saint. Even if Ye Qiu was talented enough to defeat a Semi-Saint, it’s impossible for him to surpass an entire realm to defeat a true Saint.

The two Sages were deeply worried for Ye Qiu, not wanting to see the disciple of their friend Zhuang Miao Shan die here. However, they had no idea that Saints who died at Ye Qiu’s hands were not just one or two; even a true Supreme Saint, he dared to challenge them.

Since Ye Qiu dared to challenge the Supreme Saint in front of numerous martial artists of the ancestral land, how could he not have corresponding cards up his sleeve?

Swoosh.

Before Ye Qiu could speak, the Heavenly Mechanism Sage and Wu Tian Sage flew to the center, and Zhou Lie looked at them and said calmly, "Are you two planning to meddle in the affairs of my Tai Yi Divine Sect?"

"Brother Zhou, this kid is a disciple of my old friend; his challenge to the Supreme Saint is purely a joke. I hope you won’t take it seriously, how about I just take the kid away?" Heavenly Mechanism Sage smiled and prepared to leave with Ye Qiu.

"Hold on!"

Zhou Lie stopped the Heavenly Mechanism Sage: "I advise you not to interfere. Whether the kid is joking or not, since my master was mentioned, I won’t let him leave easily."

The Heavenly Mechanism Sage and Wu Tian Sage showed troubled expressions. Wu Tian Sage immediately communicated with Ye Qiu, "Kid, this Zhou Lie is a true Saint, not that Semi-Saint Li Shengyi. Hurry and lower your head and admit your mistake, and then Tian Ji and I will plead for you, and this matter will pass."

Faced with Wu Tian Sage’s persuasion, Ye Qiu did not respond but instead walked over and respectfully bowed to the Heavenly Mechanism Sage and Wu Tian Sage, thanking them: "Thank you, two seniors, for standing up for the junior. However, I hope you both won’t interfere in this matter."

"Haha..." Zhou Lie laughed loudly, "Did you see that, Tian Ji, Wu Tian? You wish to intervene, but they don’t appreciate it. Since he wants to seek death, why do you want to stop him?"

"This..." Wu Tian Sage did not expect Ye Qiu to say this, could it be he truly wants to make a move against Zhou Lie?

"Master Pill Ye, this is no joke. The strength of a Saint is far superior to a Semi-Saint. How can you..." Heavenly Mechanism Sage still wanted to persuade him, but Ye Qiu interrupted him, saying, "Senior Tian Ji, no need to worry for the junior. Even if the opponent is a Saint, I have the confidence to take him on. My teacher was jointly pursued by his master, and I, as a disciple, will not stand idly by. I want the Supreme Saint to understand that if he dares to kill my teacher, I dare to kill his disciple."

Ye Qiu’s expression was serious, not a hint of joking. Although it was unclear where Ye Qiu’s confidence came from, the Heavenly Mechanism Sage had an intuition that Ye Qiu was not speaking recklessly; perhaps he really could deal with a Saint.

Despite this, it sounded somewhat inconceivable.

"You still want to kill me? Haha..." Zhou Lie heard Ye Qiu’s words and laughed again, as if it was an enormous joke, amusing him. His expression gradually turned cold as he said calmly, "I’m very curious, how you plan to kill me."

"Arrogant, do you truly think having defeated Senior Brother, you could defeat our Master Uncle?"

"Just wait, when Master Uncle makes a move, that kid will immediately kneel and beg for mercy."

Some disciples of Tai Yi Divine Sect couldn’t take it anymore, especially with Ye Qiu’s words; how could they hear it as more arrogant than their Tai Yi Divine Sect?

Even the onlookers around them, many smiled, thinking Ye Qiu was a bit too conceited. The difference between a Semi-Saint like Li Shengyi and a true Saint was fundamental; how could Ye Qiu from the Void Return Realm possibly defeat a Saint? Not even those supreme heirs who stepped onto the star river path dared claim to be able to do so.

After bowing to the Heavenly Mechanism Sage and Wu Tian Sage, Ye Qiu walked to the opposite side of Zhou Lie, and boldly said, "You don’t believe I can kill you, then do you dare to establish a pact of life and death?"

Once a pact of life and death is established, life and death will follow the will of heaven, and after a battle, if one dies, the forces behind won’t use it as an excuse to make a move.

To be precise, the life and death pact only represents the individuals, not the sects behind them.

"A life and death pact? Hehe... Fine." How could Zhou Lie be intimidated by a kid from the Void Return Realm; he immediately established a life and death pact before everyone, with everyone witnessing.

Ye Qiu did similarly, establishing a life and death pact, causing the Heavenly Mechanism Sage to sigh three times and reluctantly retreat.

"Kid, the life and death pact is established, are you ready to die?" Zhou Lie cackled with a grin.

Ye Qiu’s whole body flew backward, his hands quickly forming seals, pressing them onto the ground. Suddenly, a burst of light unfolded, enveloping the mountains behind Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu turned around without looking back and said coolly, "Come in and meet your death then."

With those words, Ye Qiu was the first to enter the light shield.

The sudden appearance of the light shield left many puzzled, and soon someone pointed out it was a formation, but no one could say clearly what kind of formation it was—regarding formations, aside from formation masters, martial artists seldom understood formations.

The Heavenly Mechanism Sage and Wu Tian Sage were surprised by this revelation, realizing Ye Qiu’s confidence stemmed from the formation; no wonder he dared not fear Saints.

However, the two Sages remained somewhat anxious—could Ye Qiu’s formation work against a Saint?

Hmm... wait a minute, wasn’t Ye Qiu an Alchemist? How could he know formations?

The Heavenly Mechanism Sage and Wu Tian Sage were again caught in surprise.

"Formation..." Zhou Lie gazed at the light shield ahead and snorted inwardly, "Even with a formation’s aid, it doesn’t change the fact that you’re in the Void Return Realm. I will step into the formation and kill you!"

Swish!

Zhou Lie instantly rushed into the light shield.
