Chapter 2143 - 2144: The Deadly Trap!
Chapter 2143 - 2144: The Deadly Trap!
Two days remain until the demon tide arrives.
Because of this, all the martial artists have returned to the ancient city, not daring to continue searching for the ancient power, fearing the demon tide might appear early.
In Xinghe Ancient City, the number of martial artists has decreased by one-third, with many who went searching for the ancient power never returning.
Although the order enforcers eliminated several emperor-level abyss demons, some managed to escape and started the fiercest competition, slaughtering one another.
According to the predictions of Jia Luo and Pu Zhen, the demon king will soon be born.
And when the demon king is born, it will be when the demon tide arrives.
No one dares to walk around, quietly waiting in the ancient city for the demon tide. Ye Qiu is cultivating when Jin Shanshun suddenly runs over urgently, waking him.
"Young Master, something’s wrong..." Jin Shanshun’s expression is somewhat flustered.
"What happened?"
Ye Qiu gestured for Jin Shanshun to calm down and speak slowly. Jin Shanshun handed the letter to Ye Qiu, and with a glance, Ye Qiu immediately understood.
"Young Master, he’s captured Qin Feng, definitely setting a trap, waiting for you to fall for it," Jin Shanshun said.
The letter did not say much, only one sentence: if you want Qin Feng to live, head to the cosmic abyss for a confrontation, handwritten by the Taiyi Saint Heir.
It was the Taiyi Saint Heir who captured Qin Feng to lure Ye Qiu to the cosmic abyss.
"You stay here, I’ll go rescue Qin Feng." Ye Qiu set down these words and immediately took action.
If he doesn’t go, Qin Feng will definitely not survive. Qin Feng has been with him for so long, Ye Qiu won’t leave him to die.
"Young Master, be careful!" Jin Shanshun shouted, however, Ye Qiu had already disappeared, unsure if he heard him.
"No, the Taiyi Saint Heir is using Qin Feng to threaten the Young Master, there must be a trap." Jin Shanshun’s eyes turned, thinking he couldn’t let Ye Qiu go alone. With a thought, he quickly ran to find the Beast God and Luo Fu, with the two of them, Ye Qiu wouldn’t be so dangerous.
Following the location in the letter, Ye Qiu moved quickly, reaching the edge of the cosmic abyss in less than four hours.
From a distance, he could see the Taiyi Saint Heir in front, with Qin Feng in his hand.
"Ye Fentian, you finally came, you really value this subordinate of yours." The Taiyi Saint Heir said indifferently.
"Young Master, why are you interfering, leave quickly, it’s dangerous here." Qin Feng saw Ye Qiu coming, with a face full of anxious concern for Ye Qiu.
"Leave, since you’re here, how could you leave so easily?" The Taiyi Saint Heir smiled.
Meanwhile, behind Ye Qiu, Stone Demon Lord and the Traveler appeared, sealing off Ye Qiu’s escape.
On the way here, Ye Qiu guessed this would be a conspiracy and trap; now it seems he was right. Not only does the Taiyi Saint Heir want to eliminate him, but Stone Demon Lord and the Traveler are also here.
Clearly, the three of them have joined forces, preparing to kill him.
Feeling the presence of the two behind, Ye Qiu didn’t show panic, and said to the Taiyi Saint Heir: "Since I’m here, let him go. Your target is me, not him."
The Taiyi Saint Heir smiled and really let go of Qin Feng. Without the suppression of the Taiyi Saint Heir, Qin Feng gained freedom and quickly ran to Ye Qiu’s side, repeatedly saying, "Young Master, it’s my fault."
Ye Qiu patted Qin Feng’s shoulder, shaking his head: "It’s not your fault, even if they didn’t catch you, they would’ve caught someone else to threaten me."
"If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t..." Qin Feng looked at Stone Demon Lord, the Traveler, and the three Supreme Saints joining forces against Ye Qiu alone; this is akin to a desperate situation, extremely dangerous.
To know, at that time Ye Qiu and the Taiyi Saint Heir fought for so long without a winner; now with two more Supreme Saints, the situation is even less favorable.
"Return to the ancient city as quickly as possible, find the Beast God and Luo Fu, don’t leave the ancient city, you and Shanshun won’t be in danger, hurry and go." Ye Qiu didn’t say much, gesturing for Qin Feng to leave quickly.
If Qin Feng leaves, the three won’t obstruct him; in their eyes, Ye Qiu is the target, Qin Feng is just a small role to lure Ye Qiu here, insignificant, whether he runs or not doesn’t affect the grand scheme.
"Young Master, let’s leave together." Qin Feng couldn’t bear to be the only one to leave, willing to stay and face life and death with Ye Qiu.
However, Ye Qiu’s words made Qin Feng unable to continue insisting: "Staying here will only make me hesitate. If you don’t want me to die here, then leave immediately."
"Young Master..."
"Go."
Qin Feng clenched his fists, tears in his eyes; Ye Qiu is putting himself in danger just to save him.
Qin Feng cried, they say men don’t easily shed tears, only before sadness.
Unlike Jin Shanshun, he hasn’t been with Ye Qiu the longest, nor is he from Earth, just a loose cultivator from the ancestral land. But Ye Qiu, regardless of the danger, came to save him.
The emotion in his heart was beyond words; at this moment, he had only one thought: in this life, Ye Qiu is the only Young Master he will have.
Qin Feng left, not looking back, with quick speed, he must quickly return to the ancient city to find the Beast God and Luo Fu to assist Ye Qiu.
He must hurry; a delayed moment is a moment of danger for Ye Qiu.
Indeed, Stone Demon Lord, the Traveler, didn’t act against Qin Feng but slowly approached Ye Qiu.
"Taiyi Saint Heir, Stone Demon Lord, I can understand why you two are against me, but Traveler, I don’t recall any grievances between us?" Ye Qiu focused his gaze on the Traveler.
He had no clashes with the Traveler, like the Taiyi Saint Heir, Stone Demon Lord, dealing with him is understandable, after all, there are many reasons to do so, but with the Traveler, Ye Qiu really doesn’t understand why he joined.
At their level, either do not become enemies; once they do, it’s almost to the death without any rest.
In the ancient city, assassinations may not occur due to rules restricting them, but beyond the city, there are no restraints; all rules are abandoned, killing becomes as simple as drinking water or eating food.
The Traveler is a man of medium stature, neither strong nor slim, but his eyes are very spirited. He smiled: "Although there’s no grudge between us, someone offered the ancient power as reward; how could I refuse? The ancient power would let me advance further, I truly couldn’t decline."
The Traveler was certainly honest, Ye Qiu responded with an oh, he could guess it was either the Taiyi Saint Heir or Stone Demon Lord who invited him to take action.
"Three Supreme Saints, teaming up against me, really shows how much you value Ye Fentian." Ye Qiu sighed.
"Today, we can finally determine superiority." The Taiyi Saint Heir said.
"Let’s settle the old scores today as well." Stone Demon Lord followed.
"I’m sorry." Traveler added.
Facing these three Supreme Saints bursting with fighting spirit, Ye Qiu took a deep breath, changed his expression, and shouted: "I’ll battle you three, what’s there to fear? You can come and meet your deaths!"
