"Who on earth is this person?" Looking at the solitary white figure in the sky, everyone present couldn't help but wonder. Under his terrifying sword aura, no one dared to step forward and snatch the divine bone. People were extremely puzzled. What was his background? He looked so young, yet he was already a powerhouse at the fifth level of the Shencang Realm. If given a few more years, would he become a sect master? A sect master was a dominant figure in a region, and even a huge dynasty wouldn't dare to easily provoke such a person.
"I know him. This person is the youngest martial uncle in our Butian Sect, the peak master of Zixia Peak, Ye Qiu..." At this moment, someone said. This person was also a disciple of the Butian Sect and recognized Ye Qiu in the sky at a glance.
"What?"
"The peak master of Zixia Peak?" Everyone was secretly shocked. When they heard that Ye Qiu was from the Butian Sect, they were no longer that surprised. Only an ancient orthodoxy like the Butian Sect could produce such an outstanding person.
"So powerful! He severely injured two powerhouses at the fifth level of the Shencang Realm with one sword and then forcefully took the divine bone. Such combat power is definitely at the top of the fifth - level realm!" Everyone exclaimed. Ye Qiu's performance just now was so remarkable that it was hard not to be shocked.
"The Butian Sect!" Li Changkong pondered for a moment and then suddenly burst out laughing. "Haha, I was wondering who had such great abilities. So, it's a fellow cultivator from the Butian Sect. Nice to meet you, nice to meet you..."
Ye Qiu put the divine bone into the Mysterious Spirit Jade and looked back at Li Changkong.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Li Changkong from Bulaoshan. I'm an old acquaintance of Qi Wuhui from your Butian Sect. Meeting you today and witnessing your prowess has truly astonished me. If you don't mind, how about we become friends?" Li Changkong said politely. Since he couldn't snatch the divine bone, he decided to make friends instead. But what he didn't know was that he shouldn't have mentioned Qi Wuhui. Otherwise, Ye Qiu might really have considered being friends with him.
"Qi Wuhui?"
"I don't think that's necessary..." Ye Qiu said indifferently and then turned around and left.
The giant ape was dead, and the matter here was over. There was no point in staying. Seeing Ye Qiu's reaction, Li Changkong was very confused. He didn't understand why Ye Qiu had changed his attitude so suddenly.
"Could it be that this person has a feud with Qi Wuhui?" Li Changkong thought to himself and suddenly regretted mentioning Qi Wuhui.
Ye Qiu returned to his group. Mingyue looked at him with a smile and said, "Junior Brother Ye, congratulations on obtaining the giant ape's divine bone! This is the divine bone of an ancient leftover species at the fifth level of the Shencang Realm. With this divine bone, you'll probably be able to break through to the sect - master realm soon, right?"
Mingyue was really envious. However, it was Ye Qiu who had taken the divine bone, and she could do nothing about it. She could only blame her bad luck and insufficient strength. Otherwise, how could she have let Ye Qiu snatch the divine bone?
Ye Qiu could see the disappointment in Mingyue's eyes, but he couldn't give her the divine bone because he needed it to enhance his strength.
"Well, I was just lucky. If it weren't for Senior Sister's great help, I wouldn't have been able to get the divine bone so easily." Ye Qiu said politely. He nodded to Lin Qingzhu and then said, "Senior Sister, the matter here is settled. I still need to take my disciple for training. So, I'll take my leave now."
"Okay." Mingyue didn't try to keep him. She watched Ye Qiu and Lin Qingzhu's figures gradually disappear. She felt a bit left out. This junior brother, whom she had once looked down upon, now far surpassed her in cultivation and strength. She had a feeling that in the future, he might become someone she could only look up to.
Several disciples behind Mingyue started whispering.
"Martial Uncle is so powerful!"
"This overbearing sword manual gives off an air of being peerless. And he's so handsome. He's simply the perfect male god in my dreams."
"Did you notice? Martial Uncle didn't use any magic weapons throughout the whole process. He just moved his fingers and suppressed everyone present. That's so domineering."
"Wow... I really like him."
Liu Ruyan couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth when she heard this. Were girls these days so forward? But she could understand their feelings. For girls who had always lived in the mountains and practiced in Tianshui Peak, they rarely saw men. It was normal for them to be attracted to such an outstanding martial uncle. At that moment just now, even she had felt a flutter in her heart. Thinking of this, Liu Ruyan's pretty face turned slightly red, and she felt a bit embarrassed.
Soon, Mingyue also led her disciples away.
After this battle, Ye Qiu's name spread like wildfire throughout the wilderness. Many people learned for the first time that besides Meng Tianzheng and Qi Wuhui, there was such a powerful peak master in the Butian Sect.
At this time, on an ancient road in the wilderness, there was a restaurant. Many people were gathered inside.
"Hey, have you heard?"
"A peerless powerhouse has emerged in the Butian Sect! His strength is unfathomable."
"He severely injured two powerhouses at the fifth level of the Shencang Realm from the Lin family with just one sword. Those two are among the top - notch experts in the entire Liyang Region."
"They couldn't even withstand his one - sword strike. It's really terrifying." The discussions in the restaurant became more and more intense.
"This Ye Qiu, the peak master of Zixia Peak, seems to be very young. He likes to wear a white robe and always has a peerless beauty by his side. There's a spirit jade and a pendant on his clothes, which makes him easy to recognize. If any of you meet him, be careful. Don't provoke him, or you might lose your life."
In a private booth by the window on the second floor, a stunning woman in a red robe with a veil on her face was leisurely examining the cup in her hand. She murmured, "Ye Qiu from the Butian Sect..."
"Princess! What are you thinking about?" the maid beside Zhao Wan'er asked curiously when she saw her in a daze.
A smile appeared on Zhao Wan'er's peerless face. Her every move exuded elegance. Her fair fingers rested on the teapot and slid down gently. If it weren't for the screen blocking her, all the men in the restaurant would probably be captivated by her. She was an extremely elegant woman, and this elegance was deeply ingrained in her.
Zhao Wan'er said calmly, "It's nothing. I'm just curious. Is this Ye Qiu really as terrifying as they say?"
Xiaoling tilted her head, thought for a moment, and replied, "We've seen those two experts from the Lin family. They're really strong. Since he could severely injure them with one sword, he must have some skills."
"Princess, you've been worrying about which immortal mountain to cultivate on. I think the Butian Sect is a great choice."
Zhao Wan'er's eyes lit up. "Well... that's a good idea."
She had run away from the palace this time because her father wanted her to marry the prince of the Hanhai Dynasty, and she didn't want to. So, she wanted to join an immortal mountain or holy land to avoid the marriage. As a princess of the dynasty, marriage was an inevitable fate for everyone. But she didn't want to submit to this fate. In the past month, she had visited many immortal mountains and holy lands but was not satisfied. Now, when she heard the name of the Butian Sect, she suddenly became interested, especially in this Ye Qiu, the peak master of Zixia Peak...
"I think we can observe a bit more." Zhao Wan'er blinked, put down the cup in her hand, and adjusted her red robe.
"Let's go!" The two left the restaurant.
