Chapter 2373: Chapter 2374: Luring the Snake Out of Its Hole! (1st Update)

Ye Qiu has disappeared!

Outsiders don’t know, but the people within the Dan Shen Sect are very aware that there has been no news of Ye Qiu for several days.

According to everyone’s guess, it’s highly likely that Ye Qiu went to cause trouble for the Heaven Palace and then got seriously injured, unable to return or send back any information. Otherwise, even if Ye Qiu didn’t return to Dan Shen Sect, there would still be news of him.

Yet now, there is nothing at all.

This can only mean one thing, something must have happened to Ye Qiu.

This has led to the situation where others mock Ye Qiu, but Ye Qiu does not show up, and people in Dan Shen Sect keep stepping in.

"Everyone in the small world has been killed by the Heavenly Emperor, this must be a huge blow to the Young Master."

"What I am most worried about now is the Sect Leader going alone to the Heaven Palace and being captured by the Heavenly Emperor. Otherwise, why isn’t there any news?"

"It shouldn’t be. The Heavenly Emperor hates the Young Master to death. If he were captured, the Heavenly Emperor would definitely kill him in front of everyone in the Eastern Wilderness. I think the fact that there is no news now is actually the best news."

Everyone in the Dan Shen Sect is worried about Ye Qiu’s safety, but unfortunately, despite searching for several days, there is still no news of Ye Qiu.

"Hmph, since the Young Master isn’t showing up, some people are jumping out, thinking our Young Master is easy to bully if we don’t give them a show of force."

"Exactly, any sect that dares to speak ill of our Young Master, we’ll take them on!"

Thus, the Dan Shen Sect continues to search for Ye Qiu’s whereabouts, while those who make cynical remarks are not spared, regardless of which sect they belong to. If they’re overheard, they get trouble from the sect.

The major sects of the Eastern Wilderness are already aware that Ye Qiu’s subordinates are frequently making moves. Some people are so beaten that they refuse to mention Ye Qiu at all.

However, some sects have developed other plans.

Like the Tai Yi God Sect and the Demon God Sect.

They seem to have sniffed a different scent, as Ye Qiu has been unseen for so long, but only his subordinates have been appearing repeatedly, which made them realize it’s very likely that something has happened to Ye Qiu.

On that day, the Tai Yi God Sect, the Demon God Sect, and any sects having grudges with Ye Qiu gathered together to discuss how to deal with Ye Qiu’s subordinates.

Previously, when Ye Qiu was around, major sects were deterred and dared not act, but now it’s different. Ye Qiu hasn’t manifested for a long time, and only other people keep showing their presence. Clearly, there’s something they don’t know here.

"Ye Fentian is rampant, and his subordinates are now equally rampant. We absolutely cannot allow them to continue this way."

"Indeed, it’s these people who’ve made our ancestral land so chaotic. Killing them would restore some peace to it."

"Killing them is not an issue, but I’m afraid Ye Fentian might suddenly appear."

"Yes, Ye Fentian’s talent is terrifying. It’s been so long without him appearing; who knows if it’s all a smoke screen, deliberately done. If he’s in seclusion and his subordinates are out and about, if we attack his subordinates, we’ll surely face his retaliation."

Some people are worried, fearing Ye Qiu’s appearance, and as he spoke, many sects were frowning in deep thought, as once it happens, it wouldn’t be a minor issue.

Judging from Ye Qiu’s past practices, if they act, they will undoubtedly face Ye Qiu’s strong retaliation.

This time, the Sect Leader of Tai Yi God Sect, Taixuzi, said: "I understand everyone’s concerns, but think carefully. All his family members from the Du Gu clan were killed by the Heavenly Emperor, yet he hasn’t appeared to avenge them. What does that suggest? It surely means there’s something wrong with him. If we can take this opportunity to eliminate his subordinates or capture his chief followers, regardless of his status, with hostages in hand, he won’t dare to act rashly. For this reason alone, it’s unnecessary to be overly apprehensive."

"I know many of you think there’s a high probability that Ye Fentian is in seclusion, but I want to point out something — he’s already so formidable. If he makes another breakthrough, who will suffer in the end? It’s us!"

"Don’t forget, we’ve targeted him before, and many powerful individuals have died at his hand. If he’s in seclusion somewhere, isn’t it precisely a good time for us to act? We absolutely cannot let him succeed in his breakthrough."

"Otherwise, once he advances to a more powerful realm and deals with the Heaven Palace, he will certainly turn around to deal with us."

"Ye Fentian is a person who always repays kindness and vengeance. The reason he hasn’t dealt with us yet is simply that he hasn’t had the time or strength to do so, fearing we might genuinely unite with the Heaven Palace against him."

"But we cannot let him deceive us. Once this guy resolves the Heaven Palace issue, we will undoubtedly be his next target to eliminate. Have you all forgotten how many times we’ve targeted him?"

Taixuzi’s words were reasonable and laid out the pros and cons, making everyone realize that if they don’t act against Ye Qiu now, they will indeed miss a great opportunity.

Immediately, someone decided decisively: "Alright, count me in against Ye Fentian."

"Count me in too. How can my grand sect be intimidated by him?"

Watching the various sects express their stance, Taixuzi showed a satisfied smile and exchanged a glance with the Demon God Sect’s Sect Leader. The two major sects temporarily set aside their grudges and united against Ye Qiu. This decision was one of the main reasons why other sects agreed to take action.

Because they believed that with so many sects acting together, Ye Qiu’s group of subordinates would inevitably be captured.

Now that everyone agreed, they then discussed how to deal with Ye Qiu’s subordinates.

As for the method, Taixuzi had long planned and shared the scheme with everyone, who agreed unanimously.

The plan was simple: lure the snake out of the hole.

Since Ye Qiu’s subordinates can’t stand hearing others mock Ye Qiu, they would deliberately do so, enticing the other side to come. That way, they could secretly follow and track them to their lair for a complete annihilation.

Not only could they wipe them out in one go, but they might also interrupt Ye Qiu’s cultivation.

Thus, everyone began to set it up, letting people publicly mock Ye Qiu.

Sure enough, not long after, Kaiyin, Jin Shanshun, and Qin Feng appeared to confront the ones who mocked Ye Qiu.

The strong ones from various sects kept observing the situation from the shadows without coming forward. After the trio killed all the mockers, they quickly left, while the sects remained motionless.

To find Kaiyin and the others’ lair, the various sects paid dearly, even at the cost of some members.

"Go, follow them quickly."

Several figures hidden in the dark made no sound and quickly followed.

If they could indeed find Ye Qiu’s subordinates’ lair, they could definitely wipe it out entirely.
