Chapter 627 - 627 Surging Undercurrents

627 Surging Undercurrents

From the looks of it, more than one enemy was paying attention to him.

Ye Qiu was also shocked as his vicious gaze examined the mountain. He did not expect to provoke so many people. From the looks of it, they seemed to have a powerful background.

“Interesting!” Ye Qiu was amused. He ignored him and returned to Violet Cloud Training Hall. As if nothing had happened, he silently left.

“Phew,” Behind Ye Qiu, in a dark corner, a black-robed old man let out a long sigh of relief. At that moment, he was really scared to death. He thought that Ye Qiu had discovered him and was preparing to silence him. “This kid is really vigilant. Looks like he’s not a good person. I’m afraid Young Master has met his match this time.”

!!

The old man took a deep breath and shook his head. From Ye Qiu’s actions just now, he felt an incomparably terrifying suffocation. His vigilance was too high. It could even be said to be terrifying. Even if he used his concealment precious technique with all his might, Ye Qiu still noticed him. He had never encountered such an enemy in all these years.

“No, I have to go back and report this to the Patriarch. If we let such a terrifying person grow, he will definitely become a huge problem in the future.” The black-robed old man immediately confirmed his thoughts and silently disappeared into the darkness, disappearing from the mountain.

At the same time, in another corner of the mountain, an old man in black was also sweating profusely. At that moment, he felt the same as the old man from before. That gaze from Ye Qiu was like the gaze of a death god. At that moment, he seemed to see his own death.

“Phew,” Panting heavily, the black-robed old man seemed to have exhausted all his strength after Ye Qiu’s figure completely disappeared. He sat on the ground and broke out in cold sweat. “This is not something a human would do. This kid is too terrifying. I hid so well, but he still noticed me. If this continues, he will discover me sooner or later. Looks like I can’t do this surveillance anymore. I should hurry back and report to Young Master.”

As his thoughts raced, the black-robed old man instantly disappeared. In the next moment, he had already arrived at the divine mountain and knocked on the door of a cave abode. After a while, a man in black and red walked out.

“Uncle Xu, why are you here? Didn’t I ask you to monitor Ye Qiu? Were you discovered?” Xu Feng asked in confusion when he saw Xu Yu sweating profusely.

Xu Yu replied helplessly when he heard his young master’s question. Then, he explained what had just happened to him.

When Xu Feng learned that Xu Yu had been discovered by Ye Qiu, he frowned. He knew Xu Yu’s hidden ability very well. If he really hid, even Xu Feng himself might not be able to find him. Just now, Ye Qiu could actually sense Xu Yu’s aura from a mountain away. It could be seen how terrifying Ye Qiu’s sharp observation ability was. Today’s discovery also made him vigilant.

“No wonder this kid is so important to the First Elder. He really has some strength.” Xu Feng’s heart stirred as he muttered coldly.

Just like Ye Qingxuan, as a contender of the same generation, he was also unwilling to lower himself to others and wanted to fight for the position of Deity. That was why he asked Xu Yu to monitor Ye Qiu.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Feng said, “Alright, since you’ve been discovered, don’t monitor him anymore. Go back first. You don’t have to interfere in the rest.”

After thinking for a moment, Xu Feng asked Xu Yu to go back first. He would observe the rest. This was because he had learned a secret from Xu Yu. Other than his Xu family, the other families were also monitoring Ye Qiu. In other words, Ye Qiu had many opponents. He wasn’t the only one.

Among them, the greatest threat was Ye Qingxuan of the Ye Clan. This person was not inferior to Ye Qiu in terms of strength and potential. Perhaps he could sit back and watch the tigers fight. He could observe and decide if he should make a move.

He was also thinking that the Heaven Mending Grand Competition would be held in three years. If he could break through to the tenth Heavenly Sanctum in these three years, he might have a chance to fight for it.

Thinking of this, Xu Feng immediately revealed an imperceptible smile. A few days ago, his father had already sent someone to send over some natural treasures. With these treasures, he believed that he would be able to enter the ranks of the Ten Heavenly Sanctums.

At this moment, on the other side of the divine mountain. In the Qingxuan Cave Abode late at night, there was a faint light. In front of the stone table, a handsome man with an immortal aura sat there. Beside him stood a black-robed old man. He was drenched in sweat and panting, looking uneasy.

“Young Master, I’ve said everything I need to say. In short, this Ye Qiu is definitely not as simple as we think. You should be careful. With my many years of experience in judging people, this child can be said to be a dragon among men. He’s extremely dangerous.”

Ye Qingxuan understood the reminder well. He looked at the faint light and fell into deep thought. Of course, he knew that Ye Qiu wasn’t an ordinary person because he had already seen it.

Ye Qingxuan’s competitive spirit, which had been dormant for many years, seemed to have been aroused again when such a powerful opponent suddenly appeared beside him. Under the faint light, that faint smile seemed especially terrifying.

“Ye Qiu! You better not be from the Sword Tomb lineage. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude.” As he muttered silently, a cold killing intent instantly spread throughout the entire cave abode.

The black-clothed old man beside him was also shocked by this aura. He did not expect his young master’s strength to have reached such a terrifying level after not seeing him for so many years.

During this period of time, they had been secretly monitoring Ye Qiu and investigating his background. Among them, the most important thing was to confirm if Ye Qiu was the direct disciple of the Sword Tomb. However, they were surprised to discover that Ye Qiu’s background was too strange. He seemed to have appeared out of thin air.

Almost no records of him could be found in the Heaven Mending Holy Land. In other words, his cultivation for the first half of his life was completely blank in the Heaven Mending Holy Land. The infiltration of the Ye Clan could be said to be extremely terrifying. He checked the various records of the Heaven Mending Holy Land but couldn’t find the name Ye Qiu.

Therefore, for a moment, they began to panic. It was too dangerous to let such an unstable factor continue.

Perhaps it was because of their preconceived notion that they had investigated wrongly from the beginning. From the beginning, they had determined that Ye Qiu was Ye Feng of the Sword Tomb, so they had been investigating in this direction.

They didn’t expect that Ye Qiu was Ye Qiu, not Ye Feng. He wasn’t born and raised in the Heaven Mending Holy Land, but ascended from the lower realm. Of course, it was impossible for them not to find any clues if they seriously investigated.

The reason why they couldn’t find out was probably because there was an invisible hand silently pushing them from behind.

Clearly, this huge hand was Meng Tianzheng.
