Boom boom...

The Supreme Saint bombarded the Formation as Ye Qiu escaped from his sight, which was not something honorable for the Supreme Saint.

He wanted to leave this place but suddenly discovered that he couldn’t make it out, being trapped inside by the Formation.

"The creator of the formation has fled; how can an empty formation still hold me?"

The Supreme Saint’s continuous assaults caused the Formation, which covered ten miles around, to tremble incessantly.

However, the Formation remained exceedingly sturdy, showing no signs of breaking.

The Supreme Saint was slightly angry—how could a living person be trapped to death by a formation? Moreover, this Formation was set up by someone he considered an ant, so he immediately enhanced his aura, and his attack power surged.

Outside the Formation, people had yet to realize that Ye Qiu had left the battlefield. Listening to the commotion from inside, they were all amazed.

Because from the outside, it seemed that the battle inside was fierce.

No one knew that, in reality, it was the Supreme Saint breaking the Formation.

Before long, a surge of energy shot out from within the Formation; the Supreme Saint had freed himself and escaped the Formation.

"It’s the Supreme Saint!"

At this moment, the Supreme Saint floated in mid-air, not expecting that breaking this Formation had consumed forty percent of his strength.

"Where is Ye Fentian? Why can’t we see him?" someone observed for a while and found that Ye Qiu’s figure did not appear.

At this time, the young disciples of the Taiyi Divine Sect sneered, "With our Elder taking action, no matter how monstrous Ye Fentian is, he could only meet his end. By now, he must be dead beyond any doubt."

"Exactly, wasn’t he very arrogant? Now he’s not dead, what a pity we couldn’t see him being killed in person."

The words of the Taiyi Divine Sect’s disciples were unreserved, and everyone around heard them clearly. Indeed, with the Supreme Saint taking action, Ye Qiu couldn’t possibly survive; this was a Supreme Saint, not an ordinary Saint.

This outcome was actually expected by everyone. For Ye Qiu to defeat a Semi-Saint and kill ordinary Saints was already astonishing enough. If he could defeat a Supreme Saint from the Return to Ruins Realm, that would be terrifying and inhuman. Throughout the history of the Ancestral Land, there had never been such a person.

Seeing that Ye Qiu had not appeared for a long time, the result seemed pretty obvious.

The Heavenly Mechanism Sage and Wu Tian Sage looked regretful, "Brother Zhuang, we are sorry, we couldn’t protect your disciple."

The two Saints felt guilty towards Zhuang Miao Shan. As friends of Zhuang Miao Shan, they couldn’t help in his most critical moments, and now they couldn’t even save his disciple.

However, it wasn’t really their fault. Firstly, Ye Qiu insisted on challenging the Supreme Saint, even killing his disciple on the spot. If all this hadn’t happened, had Ye Qiu listened to their advice and apologized, things might have calmed down much earlier. Yet Ye Qiu insisted on waiting for the Supreme Saint to appear.

Later, when the Supreme Saint actually came, the Heavenly Mechanism Sage and Wu Tian Sage had a hard time helping. Neither of them was at the level of a Supreme Saint and were not opponents of Jiu Jue. If they had taken action, they would probably have been killed by Jiu Jue by now.

Yang Ce and several other Sage disciples felt sorry for Ye Qiu.

"Brother Ye..." Among the crowd, Li Jin clenched his fists, sadly unable to help in any way.

Everyone’s thoughts lingered on Ye Qiu being killed by the Supreme Saint, completely unaware that the Supreme Saint’s expression was not so good at the moment.

But he didn’t explain to everyone; Ye Qiu had escaped from him, and he naturally couldn’t admit to something that was such a blow to his face.

"Ye Fentian, even if you flee to the ends of the earth, I will capture you." Regardless of whether Ye Qiu was the killer of Li Xiaosheng, Jiu Jue had resolved to kill Ye Qiu. He couldn’t help but regret, if he had acted directly, Ye Qiu wouldn’t have escaped.

Although filled with regret, it was of no avail; Ye Qiu’s escape was a fait accompli and unchangeable.

Just as the Supreme Saint was preparing to leave, he suddenly looked up towards the sky.

Huh?

The staggering disturbance from beyond the Nine Heavens made Jiu Jue’s heart tremble. To make a Supreme Saint’s scalp tingle, it could only mean a power above that of a Saint was at play.

"Are the All-heavens Realms clashing?"

The Supreme Saint felt that it was not advisable to stay here long; there were conflicts among the All-heavens Realms beyond the Nine Heavens, and even though the battlefield was relatively far away, if it erupted here, even he would be in trouble and catch collateral damage.

The Supreme Saint didn’t say anything and left instantly, leaving many people stunned.

At this moment, the elder behind Luo Yao whispered a few words in her ear, causing her expression to change, and she quickly departed as well.

Some of the Saints present all sensed the energy fluctuations from the clash between the All-heavens, realizing why Jiu Jue left swiftly.

Because up in the Nine Heavens above them, powers of an All-heavens level were clashing. Although attacks at this level shouldn’t fall down, who could guarantee that? If one attack descended, no one present could withstand it.

"This isn’t good, let’s get out of here quickly."

The Heavenly Mechanism Sage and Wu Tian Sage dared not stay long, immediately taking Yang Ce and others away.

Some Loose Cultivators also sensed the unusual atmosphere. Although many were not at the Saint Realm, upon seeing disciples from major sects leaving with grave expressions, they realized something significant was happening.

When most dispersed and many returned to their sects, they came to know more, since that battle had already alerted many All-heavens levels.

On that day, a startling message spread among sects’ All-heavens level and even Saints, that a power from the Donghua Sect and a shadow power were nearly killed by one person.

And that person, who acted, was the elusive figure who had eliminated several All-heavens level powers.

...

Chirp chirp chirp...

Birds danced joyfully, landing on a patch of grass, where a person lay, attracting the attention of many birds. The birds kept pecking at him with their sharp little beaks.

A ticklish sensation came from Ye Qiu’s body, and he opened his eyes, sitting up abruptly, startling the birds into flight.

"Where am I?"

Ye Qiu rubbed his head, feeling a bit of pain, as if he lost a segment of memory.

Ye Qiu tried recalling; he was evidently captured by two All-heavens level powers who wanted to search his soul.

But he couldn’t remember what happened afterward.

He only remembered that the souls of those two powers entered his mind, and then whatever he tried, he couldn’t recall what happened.

Ye Qiu pinched his face and felt the pain; looking at his body, he was flesh and blood and still felt pain, which indicated he was alive.

Although he didn’t know how he ended up here, breaking away from two supreme powers, being alive was enough for Ye Qiu.

As long as he’s alive, he has potential.

But, where exactly is this place?

Ye Qiu felt he was in a vast forest, surrounded by greenery and the songs of birds and the fragrance of flowers.
