"It seems someone has come out!"

Someone pointed at the light shield and saw another figure gradually becoming clearer. Upon hearing this, the crowd’s expressions turned towards it.

The disciples of the Taiyi Divine Sect all became spirited. Someone laughed and said, "Indeed worthy of our master uncle, resolved the opponent in just four breaths."

"I suspect that master uncle must not have acted initially, but launched a counterattack at the last minute."

Previously, these disciples of the Taiyi Divine Sect were discussing how long it would take for Zhou Lie to come out from the formation. Now it seems, the time was indeed very short.

"He’s out!"

The figure became increasingly clear, and the expressions of the young disciples of Taiyi Divine Sect gradually changed because they discovered that the figure didn’t seem to be their master uncle.

Master uncle’s figure wasn’t that slender.

They dared not think negatively, because in their eyes, it was simply impossible.

"Ye..."

"It’s Ye Fentian!"

When Ye Qiu’s figure walked out of the formation, there were multiple exclamations from the crowd. Those who bet on Ye Qiu’s defeat looked utterly lost.

"Where’s master uncle? Did he lose to him?"

"I don’t believe it."

The disciples of Taiyi Divine Sect are all seemingly lost; their master uncle was a Saint, how could he possibly lose to a Martial Artist at the Return to the Void Realm?

"Mas... master uncle seems to be... in his hands!" A disciple of Taiyi Divine Sect pointed at the object in Ye Qiu’s hand, and upon closer inspection, it was none other than a decapitated head.

Ye Qiu tossed Zhou Lie’s head on the ground, rolling a meter away, with Zhou Lie’s lifeless eyes staring at the surrounding spectators.

Zhou Lie is dead!

A Saint died at the hands of a Martial Artist at the Return to the Void Realm, which sounds inconceivable, yet it indeed happened before everyone’s eyes.

"Good lad, how did he do it?" Heavenly Mechanism Sage quickly recovered from his shock, deeply curious about how Ye Qiu managed to kill a Saint—was it purely due to that formation?

"Return to the Void Realm slays Saint Realm; this lad has unlimited potential!" Wu Tian Sage couldn’t help but exclaim.

To obliterate a Saint Realm from the Return to the Void Realm, such an achievement is indeed terrifying, even if aided by a formation, it’s worthy of admiration because ordinary Martial Artists at the Return to the Void Realm simply couldn’t achieve this.

Nonetheless, Ye Qiu succeeded!

"This battle will certainly be recorded in the history of the ancestral lands." Someone marveled.

"In history, anyone capable of such feats eventually became a mighty one at the celestial level, if not stronger."

At this moment, whether Luo Yao, Li Shengyi, Yang Ce, or Li Jin, all were astonished by Ye Qiu’s strength. Crossing realms to slay a Saint has always been rare, who could have imagined Ye Qiu to be this formidable.

"Master uncle..."

The young disciples of Taiyi Divine Sect picked up Zhou Lie’s head, showing an expression of grief.

"Ye Fentian, you killed our master uncle; our Taiyi Divine Sect will not let you off."

"Expect to be hunted by our Taiyi Divine Sect."

Several young disciples all showed hostility towards Ye Qiu because they never expected that Ye Qiu would truly be ruthless and kill Zhou Lie.

"He just established a life-and-death vow; life and death are ordained by fate. Can’t Taiyi Divine Sect afford to lose?" Ye Qiu said calmly.

"Humph, what of the life-and-death vow; Ye Fentian, once Jiu Jue Elder knows, you are surely doomed."

The disciples of Taiyi Divine Sect all rebuked Ye Qiu angrily. Seeing this, Ye Qiu suddenly appeared before them and said blandly, "You can act for your sect and come fight with me!"

"You..."

The few youths were struck speechless; even Li Shengyi and the actual Saint Zhou Lie weren’t Ye Qiu’s opponents, naturally, if they attacked they’d undoubtedly lose too.

"If you dare not, then shut up. If unsatisfied, at any time I’m welcoming you to act." Ye Qiu threw down some cold words, utterly disregarding the identity behind Taiyi Divine Sect, drawing several glances from those around.

Too fearless; this shows he’s not placing Taiyi Divine Sect in his eyes at all.

Meanwhile, people also wondered what grievance Ye Qiu had with Taiyi Divine Sect, leading to Ye Qiu offending them so.

In reality, some present knew the inside story; Zhuang Miao Shan was hunted by the Supreme Saint, now unknown whether alive or dead, Ye Qiu, as the disciple of Zhuang Miao Shan, evidently wants to vent his anger for his master.

"Ye Fentian, you wait, sooner or later you’ll face consequences."

The disciples of Taiyi Divine Sect dared not speak loudly, only whispering, for fear Ye Qiu might target them too.

No one dared to question Ye Qiu’s qualification to challenge the Supreme Saint—Ye Qiu had already proven his terrifying capabilities by slaying Zhou Lie. Even if criticized for being due to the formation, nobody knew the actual situation of the duel.

If people knew Ye Qiu merely used the formation to block vision, without using it against Zhou Lie, their level of shock within would surely rise another notch.

"If anyone present can contact Jiu Jue, please tell him, I, Ye Fentian, will await him here, hoping he will arrive soon." Ye Qiu said to the crowd.

People stood stunned; the events of today are destined to stir the ancestral lands. It appears Ye Qiu intends to kill the Supreme Saint.

The young disciples of Taiyi Divine Sect passed messages back to their sect, accusing Ye Qiu’s crimes of severely injuring Li Shengyi.

Ye Qiu didn’t stop them because he severely injuring Li Shengyi meant little, and as for killing Zhou Lie, as it happened in a life-and-death vow situation, if Taiyi Divine Sect pursued him, it would certainly display their inability to accept defeat.

Ye Qiu wasn’t afraid. As for powers even beyond Saints, those celestial-level mighty ones, he felt such individuals wouldn’t easily reveal themselves.

Even if a celestial-level mighty one focused on him, Ye Qiu was confident he could leave quietly.

To prepare his escape route, Ye Qiu had meticulously planned.

Ye Qiu chose a vacant spot to meditate, awaiting the arrival of the Supreme Saint.

He had already challenged the Supreme Saint and killed his Saint disciple, surely the Supreme Saint would appear knowing this.

Time slowly passed.

More and more people gathered around because the news of Ye Qiu slaying Zhou Lie and surpassing realms had spread. Many from the ancestral lands were heading here.

Whoosh...

A light breeze stirred the earth, causing flowers and grass to sway.

Unnoticed, a figure had appeared on the vacant spot where Ye Qiu was.

He arrived silently, without even the air showing the slightest change.

Ye Qiu’s eyes opened; the man he wished to kill had finally come.

"Supreme Saint!"

Ye Qiu stood up abruptly, causing the spectators nearby to tremble in unison.

Has the Supreme Saint arrived?

When everyone saw the Supreme Saint looking expressionlessly at his disciple Zhou Lie’s decapitated head, they all became alert.

The main event has arrived!

Ye Fentian could slay an ordinary Saint, but could he really slay a Supreme Saint?
