Chapter 2096 - 2097: Cain! Third Watch
About the Heavenly Heart Seal, Ye Qiu only knew the four words "Heavenly Heart Seal". When it appeared, the sound of these four words also echoed in his mind.
Ge Tian was suppressed by the Heavenly Heart Seal, indicating that it is extraordinary. Then what secret does it hold?
Ye Qiu tried to activate it again, but unfortunately, just like the first time he explored it, the Heavenly Heart Seal didn’t respond at all.
"Is it possible that my method is wrong?" Ye Qiu murmured, but no matter what method he used, the Heavenly Heart Seal just wouldn’t react.
In the end, Ye Qiu attributed the cause to the activation of the Heavenly Heart Seal, perhaps it would react only when he was in life-threatening danger.
He researched for half a day and didn’t come up with any results, feeling quite helpless. Just when the remnant eyeball in his dantian disappeared, now here comes another Heavenly Heart Seal, Ye Qiu was truly startled by Ge Tian’s remnant soul.
Thinking about having a powerful soul plotting inside his own body really makes it hard to sleep soundly.
Now, Ye Qiu had the mindset of being "once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of a rope", mainly because a bit of Ge Tian’s soul was hidden inside the remnant eyeball, which was indeed frightening.
However, this Heavenly Heart Seal should be different from that remnant eyeball, with very low danger. Its existence is more like a reward. After all, Ye Qiu defeated ten ghostly bodies at the last stage of the path of life and death, which not many people could accomplish.
Plus, since the Heavenly Heart Seal actively protected him in danger, Ye Qiu felt that there should be no hidden threat from it.
After his research on the Heavenly Heart Seal yielded no results, Ye Qiu began to rest.
About five hours later, the small boat stopped. The young martial artists on the boat revealed joyful expressions and excitedly said, "Finally came back."
This time, they nearly couldn’t come back, it was truly a narrow escape. Fortunately, Ye Qiu stepped in and wiped out all the abyssal demons.
"We have arrived." The voice of Turquoise Pool rang in Ye Qiu’s ears, he opened his eyes, got up, and disembarked with Turquoise Pool.
A grand ancient city stood in front of them, above which colorful rays were shimmering and lights were flowing. Ye Qiu’s eyes narrowed, as he could see that a peerless formation was set up around this ancient city and was constantly operating, currently in a semi-activated state. Once fully activated, this formation would serve a strong defense.
Being a formation expert, Ye Qiu immediately saw the ancient formation around the Star River Ancient City.
Beyond the formation mesmerizing Ye Qiu, the magnificence of this ancient city was awe-inspiring as well, like an iron fortress, resembling a black panther lying on the ground, exuding an ancient historical aura.
Even without entering, standing several meters away, Ye Qiu could still sense its long history and it must indeed be extremely ancient.
There were quite a few people going in and out, busy with their own affairs, and it looked quite lively.
Ye Qiu walked beside Turquoise Pool, and before entering the ancient city, he saw the people who were on the same boat with them earlier engaging in conversation with others coming out from inside and kept throwing glances towards Ye Qiu.
Soon, several of these people who had just come out of the ancient city walked up, stood in front of Ye Qiu and Turquoise Pool, and the leading man’s gaze swept over Ye Qiu before looking at Turquoise Pool and smilingly said, "Turquoise Pool, it’s good that you returned safely. I heard you guys were attacked by those damned abyssal demons, it’s fortunate that you’re okay."
This person showed great concern for Turquoise Pool, and his words were filled with flattering intent, clearly indicating his interest in her, otherwise, he wouldn’t be so concerned.
"This is the divine weapon I just exchanged, perfect for you to use, take it for protection." As he spoke, the man handed over a short dagger.
Turquoise Pool didn’t accept it, directly saying, "Thank you, but I don’t need it."
"Hehe, alright." The person didn’t feel embarrassed when Turquoise Pool didn’t take it and simply withdrew his hand, then turned his gaze to Ye Qiu saying, "Turquoise Pool, why not introduce your friend here? Looks unfamiliar."
"He..." Turquoise Pool was about to say Ye Qiu’s name but suddenly realized she didn’t actually know it.
"Ye Fentian," Ye Qiu offered, not avoiding.
"Ye Fentian! That’s a nice name. I heard you killed a juvenile king abyssal demon and saved Turquoise Pool. On behalf of Turquoise Pool, thank you." The man said, extending his hand.
Ye Qiu smiled and shook his hand.
Suddenly, a strong force came from the man’s hand, attempting to crush Ye Qiu’s hand.
From the moment this man spoke, Ye Qiu suspected he would cause trouble, knowing he likes Turquoise Pool, and since Ye Qiu saved her and knows her, the man surely sees him as a rival in love.
When the man’s grip tightened, Ye Qiu knew his guess was right.
Trying to give me a warning?
Feeling the constant pressure from the man’s grip, Ye Qiu faintly smiled internally, his dantian moved, and suddenly the Saint’s power surged over.
In an instant, the man’s expression changed.
His face turned red, sweat dripped from his forehead, since Ye Qiu’s power was greater than his, firmly gripping his hand and continuously squeezing.
"Brother, your skill is impressive, nice to meet you." The man forced a smile, using his other hand to tap, trying to cease the hidden contest.
Ye Qiu didn’t push further after the man yielded, as he wouldn’t recklessly offend.
"Turquoise Pool, you just returned, take a good rest for a few days, I’ll come to see you later." The man finished speaking and left with a smile.
After Ye Qiu and Turquoise Pool entered the ancient city, the man paused, and his hand was completely crushed, unable to make a fist.
"Damn it, having Taiyi Saint Heir and Stone Demon Lord’s Holy Son as monsters is one thing, but now there’s another Ye Fentian. I’ll remember this name, Ye Fentian, let’s see!"
The man snorted, boarded a spaceship to leave, as for his hand injury, for him recovery is just a matter of moments.
After entering the ancient city, Turquoise Pool apologized to Ye Qiu. Though the competition between Ye Qiu and the man was hidden, Turquoise Pool was perceptive enough to sense it. Ye Qiu saved her, yet now he’s considered a rival and suffered from undeserved trouble, for which Turquoise Pool genuinely felt guilty.
Ye Qiu shook his head, not minding, since he didn’t suffer losses, whatever the fellow dared to do to him, he’d dare to return in kind.
"His name is Cain, from the Desolate Ancient Continent, slightly stronger than me. Due to me, he might trouble you in the future." Turquoise Pool said.
Ye Qiu chuckled, "It’s alright, I’m stronger than him. If he troubles me, I’ll just give him a beating."
Turquoise Pool thought it made sense, after all Ye Qiu could kill even juvenile king abyssal demons, Cain indeed poses no threat to him. Also, Turquoise Pool believed that Ye Qiu’s actual strength must be more terrifying, as Ye Qiu acted too effortlessly, with no semblance of full exertion.
The one who should truly be scared ought to be Cain, letting Ye Qiu teach him a lesson might be good, sparing her from constant harassment, Turquoise Pool thought, finding this rather beneficial.
"What should I do next?"
Turquoise Pool regained her focus, saying, "Let’s first go get your identity plate."
