Supernatural Insight Eyes-Chapter 997 - 0 Twists and Turns! (6th update)

Not knowing how much time had passed, when his body temperature returned to normal, Ye Qiu felt completely revitalized.

Immediately checking his Dantian, he discovered that the re-constructed crystal of Ice Rule had been completed, floating alongside the crystal of Wind Rule.

Ye Qiu tried to harness the power of Ice Rule, and instantly, in his palm, the power to form frost and transform ice began to emerge.

Indeed, this time activating the Ice Rule felt even easier and more natural, without any signs of imbalance.

Integrating his spirit into the ice crystal, he could personally sense the formation of Ice Rule power, and his understanding of this Rule Power multiplied severalfold in an instant.

After a while, Ye Qiu opened his eyes, initially planning to recover some of his strength but ended up reorganizing the Ice Rule once more.

However, Ye Qiu only consumed one ice fruit, leaving four more, enough to refine four Ice Yuan Dan.

"I’ve been staying here for the past two days; it’s time to leave the Barbaric Wilderness Forest." Ye Qiu decided to return, got up and adjusted his clothes, glanced around, and seeing no ancient beasts, headed towards the safety passage.

Tang Yun and Tang Feng, the two elders, immediately followed. At this point, both had set their minds on Ye Qiu, because killing him would accomplish two goals: settling their inner displeasure and acquiring treasures, far better than spending more time adventuring deeper into the Barbaric Wilderness Forest.

Reaching the location in his memory didn’t take Ye Qiu long. He had arrived at the safety passage.

This safety passage, like a tunnel, was hidden within the jungle of the Barbaric Wilderness Forest, and if one was not careful, it would be difficult to discover.

Reappearing in the safety passage, Ye Qiu often glanced at the trees on both sides, contemplating whether these people could enter the Barbaric Wilderness Forest through the safety passage, and whether those ancient beasts could also use this route to enter the ancient land?

If both sides could freely access each other’s territory, wouldn’t the ancient land become even more dangerous?

However, based on his understanding of the ancient land, for many years, ancient beasts had never appeared in the land to wreak havoc.

"Could it be that even if ancient beasts set foot on this passage, they cannot enter the ancient land?" Ye Qiu wondered, as only this explanation seemed feasible.

But if this fact were true, it would be good news for the Martial Artists living in the ancient land, as it implies they can freely explore the Barbaric Wilderness Forest without worrying about ancient beasts attacking the ancient land.

Thinking for a long time, without any leads and no place to find answers, Ye Qiu stopped bothering about these issues and focused on traveling, aiming to return to the ancient land as early as possible.

After all these days, Jin Shanshun and Jin’er, among other five maids, were probably worried about him.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Ye Qiu sped along the passageway, while Tang Hai and Tang Yun, maintaining a certain distance from Ye Qiu, followed behind, ensuring they weren’t detected by him.

"He’s leaving here. If he really returns to the ancient land, I wonder if we’ll have a better chance to strike at him." Elder Tang Yun regretted, knowing that he should have acted earlier. Now that Ye Qiu was heading back home, once he reached the ancient land, with the backing of Yun Shang Palace, they would have even fewer opportunities to make a move, especially since even the three great ancient clans couldn’t do anything, let alone the two of them.

"It’s indeed tough. Even if we spread news that he took down five legends, it would likely create a buzz for this kid, boosting his fame. As for whether the ancient clans behind those five legends would take action, it’s really hard to say." Elder Tang Hai sighed in difficulty.

"Should we act now?" Tang Yun suggested.

"Are you a match for him?" Tang Hai responded helplessly.

Tang Yun angrily flung his sleeves: "If this doesn’t work, and that doesn’t work, should we just let this kid safely return to the ancient land? I’m really not reconciled; spending several days and ending up with nothing gained before going back, what will Tang Heshan think of us?"

Talking about this topic, Tang Hai fell silent as well.

As the two faced a dilemma, unsure whether to take action or continue following, Tang Hai noticed Ye Qiu ahead had suddenly stopped.

"Something’s up; that kid stopped moving," Tang Hai remarked.

Both immediately slowed down and stopped, Tang Yun made a surprised sound, and they quietly watched ahead.

Ye Qiu initially didn’t sense anything wrong, but as he kept walking, he realized the passage was unusually quiet, alerting him that something was amiss. Judging by logic, Martial Artists from the ancient land should frequently pass through this passage to enter the Barbaric Wilderness Forest. Even if no one entered later, someone should be returning, yet Ye Qiu didn’t see a single figure along the way.

Whether going in or out, no one appeared, which was too peculiar.

With Ye Qiu’s careful observation, he noticed that after walking a distance, he found patches of dried bloodstains.

Could it be the work of ancient beasts?

Or mutual slaughter among the Martial Artists?

Ye Qiu couldn’t figure out either possibility. He grew cautious, constantly aware of his surroundings, and his pace began to slow down.

After proceeding for over twenty kilometers, a lineup of figures appeared ahead, all dressed in black, with only their eyes exposed.

Ye Qiu’s eyes grew intense, his heart skipped a beat; what unsettled him was that all these people were extraordinary, the weakest being at the legendary realm, and there were over twenty of them.

Even with Ye Qiu’s self-confidence, he dared not battle twenty-plus legendary realm fighters.

This lineup was terrifying; he hadn’t reached the level to fight dozens in one sweep.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...

As soon as these people in black saw Ye Qiu appear, they advanced. Ye Qiu hesitated not; he could handle four or five, but facing twenty-odd legends would definitely be overwhelming.

Without much thought, Ye Qiu turned to flee. Facing so many aggressive legendary Martial Artists and escaping wasn’t shameful.

Ye Qiu realized that these people, like the previous five legends, all engaged in bandit-like behavior, waiting at the safety passage to rob returning Martial Artists, sometimes even killing them.

Ye Qiu hadn’t anticipated these people to be even more ruthless than he imagined, as their motive was genuine slaughter, not allowing any Martial Artist venturing into the Barbaric Wilderness Forest to return alive.

"Why did that kid suddenly retreat?" Tang Hai exclaimed.

"No, what’s that... those are people rather than a group of legendary realm fighters..." Tang Yun scrutinized ahead, suddenly witnessing a group of legendary realm Martial Artists, promptly breaking a cold sweat; no wonder Ye Qiu was retreating. With twenty-odd legends furiously chasing him, who wouldn’t run?

"Let’s go!"

Both sensed trouble and knew they couldn’t stay, or shortly, those black-clad legendary Martial Artists would chase them too. If they raised their blades against the two, it would be certain death.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...

Tang Hai and Tang Yun fled wildly, and at this moment, they couldn’t care less about Ye Qiu, focusing solely on saving their own lives.

"Hmm?" Ye Qiu activated the power of Wind Rule, speeding away, suddenly noticing the figures of Tang Hai and Tang Yun ahead, feeling a sense of familiarity.

"It’s the two elders of the Tang clan!" Ye Qiu immediately recalled their identities, realizing they had been secretly following him all along.

"Hmph, have you been scheming against me in secret?" Ye Qiu had no good opinion of the Tang clan elders, except for Elder Tang Yu; he turned his gaze, instantly forming an idea, pursuing in the direction of the two while drawing the black-clad figures along.
