Chapter 2360 - 2361: The Blessings of a Qi Man! Midnight

Chapter 2360: Chapter 2361: The Blessings of a Qi Man! Midnight

The sky was overcast and highly oppressive, with a faint rumbling coming from afar.

The entire Xinghe Ancient City shook in response.

Pu Zhen’s figure had already disappeared into the horizon, leaving behind the two order keepers, Di Feng and Jianan.

"So he was always hiding his true strength and had already reached the Dao Lord level. We’ve both been deceived by him," Jianan said with a bitter smile.

"He’s always been the strongest among the three of us. He just never expected to step soundlessly into the Dao Lord realm. If it weren’t for the City Lord being attacked, he might not have revealed himself. No wonder the City Lord valued him so highly; he is indeed superior to both of us," Di Feng continued.

"All along, I’ve regarded him as the target to surpass. I thought I wasn’t far behind him, with my own trump cards, even if I couldn’t defeat him, at least I could be evenly matched. Now it seems I was too naive; this guy surpasses me by a whole realm. It truly is enviable, jealousy, and hate-inducing," sighed Jianan.

"With Pu Zhen aiding the City Lord, this confrontation will eventually end. We should also put in effort; otherwise, it would be truly embarrassing to be overtaken by those youngsters,"

The two gazed into the distance, their mindset now quite different from before.

The three of them were originally on par with each other, but with Pu Zhen suddenly revealing his true strength, Jianan and Di Feng realized they needed improvement. Otherwise, they would be completely left behind, trailing further and further.

Yet, stepping from the Zhu Tian realm into the Dao Lord realm is no easy task.

Dark clouds gathered, strong winds howled, and thunder flashed constantly in the distance, as if a great battle was unfolding there.

........

Dan Shen Sect.

Ye Qiu and others had returned, making the place lively once again.

The Beast God hadn’t accompanied Jin Shanshun, Qin Feng, and Cain to target the Heaven Palace branch, instead staying to guard the Dan Shen Sect, in case there were no experts present.

Upon hearing that Ye Qiu and the others not only caused an uproar in the Heaven Palace but also killed many Shadow Warriors, his mood was excellent.

"Had I known they were killing Shadow Warriors, I would’ve joined them," commented the Beast God.

Previously, during a brief stay in the Southern Wastes, Shadow Warriors had attacked the Beast God’s residence and nearly killed him. Thankfully, Ye Qiu arrived subsequently, averting the crisis.

Later, Ye Qiu led his people in slaying quite a few Shadow Assassins, and this time, they unexpectedly struck at the assassins again.

"Too many confrontations occurred this time. There’s no need to discuss the Young Lord; he went on to slay all of the Heaven Emperor’s imperial sons. Following that, he destroyed the Heaven Palace branch, so it seems the Heaven Palace is left with only one barren Heaven Emperor."

"The Shadows are part of the Heaven Palace’s forces. Once the Young Lord discovered the truth about them, we sought them out again, destroying their newly built headquarters. We can say it avenged Qing Lin once more."

"Brother, could you tell us more, I’d love to hear it," Jin Zhimo said, looking at Jin Shanshun.

Shangguan Mingyue and Tang Surou were also very interested in hearing.

"Alright, I’ll tell you about my feats," Jin Shanshun began from the start. As for Ye Qiu’s fights with the Heaven Palace Imperial Son and even the former Heaven Emperor, he could only imagine, but it was a fact that Ye Qiu was slaying all around.

Ye Qiu sat beside them, listening with a smile. Suddenly, several figures approached from the distance, and when Ye Qiu scanned over them unconsciously, he froze.

"You all..."

The newcomers weren’t strangers; they were Shen Mengchen, Lin Qiao’er, and Fang Sijie’s mother-daughter duo, who Ye Qiu had been painstakingly searching for.

Seeing this scene, the Beast God smiled, "Sorry, I meant to tell you about this, but I forgot."

Ye Qiu stood up, not minding this at all, his eyes were solely on the few women in front of him. He walked over slowly, feeling excited—ever since they parted ways on Earth, they hadn’t met again.

"Uncle Ye Qiu!" Niu Yinyin ran over, dashing into Ye Qiu’s arms.

"Yinyin," Ye Qiu patted her head as the little girl cried her heart out.

"Yinyin has grown up and gotten heavier," Ye Qiu patted her back and put her down.

"Uncle, Yinyin missed you so much." Yinyin’s words were as sweet as ever, just as adorable, and he genuinely feared never seeing this little girl again.

After monopolizing Ye Qiu for a few seconds, Yinyin sensibly stepped aside and stood behind her mother, Fang Sijie.

She left the moment for Ye Qiu and the three women.

"I’m so glad you came back safe and sound," Ye Qiu said, looking at the three women. He thought of many past events involving them.

It was as if it all happened just yesterday.

"Hmph, Ye Qiu, why didn’t you look for us?"

"Exactly, did you forget us and find someone new?"

Shen Mengchen and Lin Qiao’er had somehow joined forces against Ye Qiu, questioning him, while Fang Sijie just smiled at him, not joining in the banter.

Ye Qiu wanted to explain, but words eluded him for a moment.

"Alright already, we’re just teasing you. We know you’ve been looking for us," Shen Mengchen and Lin Qiao’er suddenly smiled, their stern faces softening.

"You should’ve said so earlier!"

Ye Qiu sighed in relief, as he really hadn’t given up searching for them all.

The women had previously been with the Beast God, but after he set off for the Star River Path, he placed the three in a safe location, fearing harm might come to them from others. Upon the Beast God’s return, he intended to retrieve them, but then Shadows attacked again, preventing their reunion, so they remained where they were.

When Ye Qiu appeared and resolved the crisis, the Beast God, Jin Shanshun, and others were not in the best state. Upon arriving at the Dan Shen Sect, they realized they forgot about the three women.

The Beast God planned to bring the three back secretly, but Heaven Palace reemerged to cause trouble, forcing Ye Qiu to go, unable to accompany the Beast God to retrieve them. Thus, after not long since the three were brought back, Ye Qiu and the others also reassembled.

Everyone left Ye Qiu and the three women to themselves, knowing they had much to talk about.

After chatting for four hours, sharing each other’s experiences, it truly was emotional—who could have imagined a reunion on the ancestral land?

The Dan Shen Sect suddenly had way more women, making it even livelier.

Notably, most of these women were Ye Qiu’s close companions.

Jin Xiaoshun and Hua Wuji envied him.

Yet, who understood Ye Qiu’s burdens?

Standing under the moonlight, Ye Qiu didn’t know which room to go to, as all the women’s rooms were lit. He was conflicted since choosing any room would likely upset others.

"Ah, if only we could all sleep together in one big bed," Ye Qiu sighed. Finally, to avoid offending anyone, he decided to return to his own room to rest alone.

However, upon opening his door, he was startled by the scene before him.

"You all..."

A captivating tableau of beauties unfolded, as all the women were gathered there.
