Many people had gathered and were discussing the situation outside on the city wall.
“Hey, have you heard? Last night, a few experts from the Lin family encountered an extremely powerful descendant in the Linxi Corridor.
“I heard that it was a primordial descendant with the strength of at least an early-stage Cardinal. It almost wiped out the Lin family’s hundreds of troops.”
“I heard about it too! Someone discovered that the descendant has already headed towards the Azure Ridge.”
“The Lin family and the Yang family have already sent a few experts to track them down. I wonder how they are doing now.”
“The appearance of the mountain treasure this time has attracted almost half of the ferocious beasts in the uninhabited region. The entire Eastern Wasteland is in chaos.”
“I wonder if Guangling City can be defended. Looks like we have to make plans early.”
Ye Qiu fell into deep thought when he heard the discussions. His expression was solemn.
“Looks like the riot this time is even more intense than the last time. I wonder where those ferocious beasts are now?” Ye Qiu muttered to himself. He had come for the Heaven Swallowing Sparrow. He had wanted to come to Guangling City to gather information, but he didn’t seem to have gained anything.
Most of the people who saw the Heaven-Swallowing Sparrow had been eaten by it, so it was very difficult for news to come back.
Xiao Yi didn’t say a word as he watched Ye Qiu fall into a long thought. He didn’t know what Ye Qiu was thinking and didn’t dare to disturb him. In his boredom, he suddenly looked to the left and accidentally discovered an acquaintance.
“Yo, isn’t this Young Master Lin? I haven’t seen you for a few days and you’re already so sh*tty?”
Xiao Yi was instantly amused. The familiar face on the left of the city wall was Lin Feng, his old enemy.
At this moment, Lin Feng was in a sorry state. His clothes were tattered. Clearly, he had just returned from outside the city and had yet to rest.
How could Xiao Yi let go of this rare opportunity? He had not forgotten Lin Feng’s mocking expression when he was beaten up by Ye Qiu last time.
Lin Feng’s expression turned even uglier upon seeing Xiao Yi. He said gloomily, “Xiao Yi, what do you mean? Do you want to fight?”
“Tsk, I can fight ten of you in your current state.”
“You…”
Xiao Yi’s disdainful expression made Lin Feng furious. Just as he was about to attack, he realized the figure behind Xiao Yi and his face turned pale, his expression filled with panic.
He…
Why is he here too!
Lin Feng had not forgotten that white figure. It was as if it had happened yesterday. It pulled him back to a few months ago, when he had faced death. Because of his stupidity, he had almost overturned the entire Lin family…
Back then, he seemed to have said that he would come to Guangling City in the future. Lin Feng thought that he was just joking. He did not expect him to really appear.
“Young Master…” The few experts behind Lin Feng also discovered Ye Qiu. Their faces were filled with fear as they reminded Lin Feng not to be rash. They could not fight with Xiao Yi either. They had long known that the Xiao Clan had already latched onto the Violet Cloud Peak of the Heaven Mending Sect.
Right now, the Xiao Clan’s strength had already faintly surpassed the Lin Clan. Fighting with Xiao Yi now would only bring trouble to the Lin Clan.
Xiao Yi also noticed that something was wrong with their expressions. He turned around and looked at Ye Qiu, immediately understanding something. Haha, I see. I thought I had been too aggressive recently and scared them. It turned out that they were afraid of Senior.
Xiao Yi was amused when he gradually understood this. Wasn’t this clearly giving me a chance to show off? It had to be said that it was difficult to keep a low profile when I’m following such a big shot. In that case, I won’t stand on ceremony.
“Ahem… Come on, aren’t you awesome? Come at me together. I’m going to fight ten today.” Xiao Yi spoke arrogantly as he pointed at Lin Feng and the experts behind him.
“You…” Lin Feng was angry and his face ferocious. He was clearly furious.
The experts behind him had a better mentality. No matter what, they were experts who had cultivated for decades. How could a child anger them so easily?
“Haha, Young Master Xiao must be joking! Our strength is weak, how can we dare to challenge Young Master Xiao? Young Master Xiao is so different. You’re so heroic and have an extraordinary bearing. You have the bearing of a celestial.”
Lin Hai chuckled and flattered Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi was instantly overjoyed.
Ah…
Awesome…
Was this what it felt like to be pretentious?
“At least you know your place. Since you’re so sensible, I won’t make things difficult for you today.” Xiao Yi used his connections to intimidate others and brag. His expression was as if he was really strong.
Lin Feng was furious as he looked at his smug expression. He was also afraid of Ye Qiu’s prestige and didn’t dare to get angry.
“I admit defeat today. You win… Let’s go.” Lin Feng glared fiercely at Xiao Yi and turned to leave.
“Wait…” At this moment, a voice came from behind. Everyone’s hearts trembled when they heard it.
Lin Feng was shocked. Something bad is going to happen.
They were extremely familiar with this voice. It came from the deep fear in their hearts.
Ye Qiu turned around and slowly walked towards them.
Lin Feng and the others’ legs began to turn limp and tremble non-stop. This was fear from the bottom of their hearts.
Lin Feng slowly turned around. His face was pale while he trembled as he watched Ye Qiu gradually walk towards him. He was extremely nervous.
“Se-Senior.” Lin Feng addressed him in a trembling voice. At this moment, Lin Feng had already thought of what posture he should die in.
However, to his surprise, Ye Qiu didn’t reveal any killing intent. Instead, he looked at them calmly. “You guys just came back from outside the city?”
Lin Hai was still calm and quickly replied, “Perfected Ye, we have indeed just returned from outside the city. I wonder if Perfected Ye has any questions?”
“Yes…” Ye Qiu nodded and continued, “What’s the situation outside the city? Have you found any traces of the Heaven Swallowing Sparrow?”
Heaven Swallowing Sparrow…
As soon as these words were spoken, it immediately attracted the attention of everyone on the city wall.
Everyone present finally reacted at this moment. It turned out that the white figure standing on the city wall was actually the man who had killed the Purgatory Giant Ape with a single strike.
“Heaven Mending Sect’s Violet Cloud Peak, Ye Qiu.”
“It’s actually him. When did he come?”
Everyone was shocked. They were chatting happily just now, but no one noticed Ye Qiu’s existence.
“Damn, this god was standing beside me just now and I didn’t notice at all.”
Someone wiped his cold sweat, his heart pounding. Fortunately, he didn’t say anything wrong just now. Wouldn’t he die if he was careless and provoked him?
The rumors about Ye Qiu killing the giant ape were still circulating among the commoners. Especially in Guangling City. Back then, Ye Qiu had personally come to Guangling City and defeated three elders of the Immortal Mountain Holy Land with a single strike.
At that time, he had already entered the Cardinal realm. Someone realized that his aura seemed to be stronger than before now that they saw him again. However, they did not know where his limits were.
It was difficult to remain calm in the face of such an expert.
Xiao Yi was overjoyed when he saw this scene. He looked at everyone’s expressions as if he was saying, “Hehe, did you see that? I’m with him. Are you afraid? This is too awesome. I, Xiao Yi, have never shown off on such an occasion. This might be the best decision I’ve ever made in my life.”
Ever since he followed Ye Qiu, Xiao Yi’s confidence had skyrocketed.
His thoughts ran wild as if he had reached the peak of his life.
