Chapter 731: 0732 Strut! (Second Update)

Ye Qiu left the Tang clan, drawing plenty of attention. No one expected the individual everyone once sought after to voluntarily reveal himself, wandering around the ancient lands without a single ancient clan daring to lay a hand on him.

The deaths of the four Mythic Realm Martial Artists had served as no small warning, at least on the surface, no ancient clan dared to capture Ye Qiu.

"Brother Ye, is that powerful individual still by our side?" asked Jin Shanshun in a low voice after looking around.

He had fallen asleep that night and did not witness Wu Yang, the venerable one, seizing and killing three Mythic Realm individuals. He only knew that Yun Shang Palace had sent a powerful protector for Ye Qiu, and it wasn’t until the fourth Mythic Realm appeared that he saw the formidable strength of Wu Yang, the venerable one, a power that he still vividly remembered to this day.

Now, as the two of them strutted in front of the various ancient clans, many eyed Ye Qiu as if he were a treasured jewel, their eyes nearly turning green with envy. Were it not for the fear of Yun Shang Palace, they probably would have pounced already.

With that powerful individual around, he could feel somewhat at ease.

However, Ye Qiu’s answer nearly gave Jin Shanshun a heart attack.

"What..."

Ye Qiu repeated, "That powerful individual is not here, it’s really just the two of us."

"But..." Jin Shanshun’s heart thumped wildly. Without such a powerful individual, Ye Qiu still dared to take him wandering around and even made a trip to the Tang clan.

He must be insane!

Yet Ye Qiu remained calm, saying, "No need to worry, starting today, for at least a while, no one will dare to strike at us. Don’t forget that four Mythic Realm Martial Artists died earlier."

Jin Shanshun paused, thinking about it that way, perhaps really no ancient clan would dare to strike again. After all, once a Mythic Realm Martial Artist was lost, it would take a long time to replenish their number, and even the three great ancient clans couldn’t afford such a loss.

Nonetheless, Jin Shanshun still felt in danger. If a clan really went mad and sent a Mythic Realm, the two of them would truly be in peril.

Jin Shanshun expressed his concerns, and Ye Qiu patted him on the shoulder, saying, "I understand your worries, that’s why I had you disguise yourself as an elder."

Jin Shanshun looked at Ye Qiu skeptically, not understanding. Ye Qiu explained, "With you disguised as an elder by my side, everyone will subconsciously think you are the high-level expert who killed four Mythic Realm Martial Artists. With you here, who would dare to make a move?"

"But I’m not, and right now my aura is of the Legendary Realm, some people can tell at a glance." Jin Shanshun said.

"You’re right to think that, but those harboring ill intentions towards us have to think twice. Maybe they’ll think you’re purposefully hiding your spiritual energy, showing it to be of the Legendary Realm just to lure them into striking. So under these circumstances, they definitely won’t make a move." Ye Qiu smiled.

Jin Shanshun shook his head, feeling that Ye Qiu had thought of everything. No wonder he dared to wander all over, such fearless courage and meticulous thinking, surely not many among the younger generation in the ancient lands possessed these.

"Don’t fidget, or you’ll lose the aura of a Martial Artist. From now on, just keep a straight face and stay silent, that’ll do."

The two walked through the ancient lands without any concerns, drawing many sidelong glances.

Wherever they went, people talked.

The Ji Clan.

Clan Leader Ji Changtian was in a secret chamber.

Inside were several ancestral tablets, all dedicated to the departed masters of the Ji Clan.

"Clan Leader, that youngster is now wandering around the ancient lands. Shouldn’t we issue another writ?" an elder suggested.

"We’ve already lost four Mythic Realm Martial Artists, we can’t afford more deaths. Two attempts have failed to succeed, it seems the expert sent by Yun Shang Palace is extremely powerful. Unless the ancestor takes action, ordinary people would have a hard time dealing with him," said Ji Changtian.

"So we just watch him walk around the ancient lands?"

Ji Changtian shook his head, "Of course not, Yun Shang Palace doesn’t allow us to touch him, so we won’t!" As Ji Changtian spoke, a cold smirk appeared on his face.

"What does the Clan Leader mean?"

"We can challenge him, as long as he accepts the challenge, Yun Shang Palace won’t say anything," Ji Changtian declared.

"This is a great idea; if that brat doesn’t know what’s good for him, let the younger generation challenge him every day," someone suggested.

...

Ye Qiu and Jin Shanshun sauntered through the ancient lands, and Ye Qiu finally got to see every part of them.

Of course, he wasn’t just admiring the scenery; he noted the locations of all the ancient clans. He discovered that the stronger clans had the best spots—truly blessed by nature. Take the Ji clan, for example, which occupied an entire mountain peak. The whole peak was Ji Clan’s territory, shrouded in mist. Though Ye Qiu didn’t get close, he could feel that the Spiritual Energy there was denser than in other places.

The Mu Clan and the Shi Clan were no different, both residing in areas where the Spiritual Energy was richest.

In contrast, among the other ancient clans—aside from the first-rate clans like the Sun and Yue clans, which occupied higher ground—the likes of the Tang clan were built on flat land, where the Spiritual Energy was somewhat lesser.

The geographical locations of the lesser clans were even more unfavorable, but even the environment of the lowest-ranking clans was ten times better than that of the Martial Artists’ world.

"Just with the disparity in the environment alone, it’s no wonder that none in the Martial Artists’ world could match any random clan from the ancient lands in a hundred years," Ye Qiu mused after his long stroll.

Sitting on a stone chair in the courtyard, Ye Qiu stared blankly into space.

The stone table and stone chairs before him were from that ’Shoot the Moon Cave’ in the ancient lands, and they were perfect for his use here.

Just as Ye Qiu came back to his senses, his gaze gradually fell on a warrior’s handbook, which he had obtained from Shoot the Moon Cave as well.

After studying the martial arts experience of his predecessors, Ye Qiu gained a lot. He had already read it once before but, rereading it now, he had many new insights.

Just then, someone knocked on the courtyard gate."

Jin Shanshun opened the gate, and a servant without much of a Martial Artist’s aura handed something to Jin Shanshun and then slowly left.

"Bring it here, maybe some ancient clan wants to seek me out," Ye Qiu said.

Placing it on the stone table, Ye Qiu opened the envelope and, scanning it, he realized it was a challenge letter.

Interesting!

The one who wanted to challenge him was a young prodigy from the Ji clan, named Ji Long.

"The young generation of the Ji Clan wants to challenge you?" Jin Shanshun exclaimed.

"It seems that even the mighty Ji Clan has to take Yun Shang Palace into account and dares not send out a strong warrior to deal with me; instead, they’ve chosen another method to teach me a lesson," Ye Qiu said with a smile.

"Do we accept their challenge?" Jin Shanshun asked. He wasn’t sure of Ji Long’s strength, but since he was from the Ji Clan, it certainly wouldn’t be weak. Moreover, the fact that he was the first to issue a challenge meant he was surely no weakling.

Ye Qiu casually tossed the challenge letter aside and laughed, "He wants to challenge me, and I have to accept? It’s not that easy. Find that servant and tell him to pass the message to Ji Long, that I, Ye Qiu, don’t have the time. I won’t accept just any challenge from any Tom, Dick, or Harry. If he truly wishes to challenge me, let him show his sincerity."

"Right."

Jin Shanshun was not one to hesitate in causing discomfort to the Ji Clan; he immediately went out the door in pursuit of the servant.
