Ye Qiu noticed that many pedestrians on the town's streets were staring at him with strange looks.
This made Ye Qiu quite uncomfortable. Just as Ye Qiu was wondering why, a fair-skinned, chubby boy came to Ye Qiu's side and whispered, "Brother, how dare you, a person from the lower realm, come to the upper realm so openly?"
"You should at least cover yourself up a bit. Buy a mask to cover your face, especially your forehead. Here, I have a mask, it's free, consider it fate."
The fat man handed over a mask.
The mask had a somewhat ferocious appearance; it was a ghost mask.
Ye Qiu did not refuse, took it and put it on, and said thank you.
"Come with me. Many people here have already seen that you are not from the Upper Realm. Let's talk somewhere else."
Without saying a word, the fat man quickly pulled Ye Qiu to another location.
A moment later, the two entered a teahouse.
The teahouse was bustling with activity, as people were telling stories of ancient sages and recounting the path to enlightenment of the supreme rulers of antiquity.
The people below listened with great interest, applauding from time to time.
After Ye Qiu and the chubby boy sat down, the chubby boy laughed and said, "Luckily you met me, otherwise you would probably be a corpse on the street by now."
"Why are you helping me?" Ye Qiu asked.
"We're both in the same boat, alas, it's hard to explain in a few words." The chubby boy sighed, "Don't look down on me just because I'm from the upper realm. I come from a humble background and am looked down upon by those descendants of powerful clans who consider themselves superior."
That's why I felt sorry for you when I saw you and decided to help you.
"Alright, thank you very much. May I ask your name, my friend?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.
"My name is Xiao Feng."
The chubby boy clasped his hands in a fist salute.
"Xiao Feng?"
"Yes, Xiao Feng, may I ask your honorable name, fellow Daoist?"
"My name is Ye Qiu. I have met you, Master Xiao."
"Haha, no problem, no problem." The chubby Xiao Feng laughed heartily: "From now on, you'll follow me. If I have food to eat, you'll definitely have food to eat too. I won't treat you unfairly."
"What are you going to do with me?" Ye Qiu asked.
"Don't you know?" Xiao Feng whispered, "There's a lucrative business opportunity. If we capture humans from the lower realms and hand them over to the various sects in the upper realms, we can get a huge bounty."
"Hmm?" Ye Qiu's brows furrowed. "You know I'm from the lower realm, yet you still want to discuss this kind of thing with me? Do you not take me seriously?"
"Haha, just kidding. I was testing whether Fellow Daoist Ye was a good person. It seems that Fellow Daoist has a very upright heart. Very good. This is the kind of friend I, Xiao Feng, want."
"Damn it, to be honest, in this town of a hundred ghosts, you can find all sorts of monsters and demons. Now I've finally met someone with sound values."
Xiao Feng laughed loudly.
But Ye Qiu couldn't laugh.
From Xiao Feng's few words, Ye Qiu had already discerned that the people from the Upper Realm were doing business with the people from the Lower Realm.
Furthermore, this Xiao Feng is suspected to be no good either; he must have ulterior motives for helping me.
Thinking of this, Ye Qiu already harbored strong suspicions towards Xiao Feng.
However, Ye Qiu cannot stay away from Xiao Feng, because there are many things he can figure out through Xiao Feng.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, do you know which direction the cultivators in the lower realm are in?" Ye Qiu asked.
"Oh, so you've just entered the Void Ancient Realm." Xiao Feng laughed. "That's easy. There's a teleportation array in Hundred Ghosts Night Walk Town that leads directly to the edge of the lower realm cultivator camp. However, it's a bit expensive; it costs 50,000 Void Gold for one trip."
"Fifty thousand?" Ye Qiu frowned; that was indeed a bit expensive.
But Ye Qiu did not hesitate and said, "Could you take me there?"
“Of course,” Xiao Feng said. “I was hoping to help the weak and fight the wicked together with you in the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk Town. I didn’t expect you to want to leave so soon. Fine, I’ll take you there.”
"Thanks." Ye Qiu clasped his hands in thanks.
He did want to stay and explore the territory of the upper realm cultivators to see what was so powerful about it, but Ye Qiu felt that it would be extremely dangerous for him to be alone here.
As the saying goes, a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle, so Ye Qiu chose to slip away first.
"Come on, this way."
Xiao Feng immediately led the way for Ye Qiu.
About ten minutes later, Xiao Feng led Ye Qiu into a palace called the 'Sword Observation Hall'.
Upon entering, Ye Qiu discovered that there were more than a dozen people in the hall, all of whom were at the Venerable Realm.
Moreover, the leader's aura was even more powerful, having already surpassed the Venerable Realm.
When the group saw Xiao Feng bring Ye Qiu in, they all turned to look.
Xiao Feng immediately said, "My lords, this is Ye Qiu. I have brought him to you."
"Hmm? Ye Qiu?"
"That Ye Qiu, for whom our Imperial Sword Sect has a 50,000-yuan bounty for killing?"
“Exactly.” Xiao Feng nodded vigorously and quickly moved away from Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu's face darkened. That damned fatso was definitely up to no good. Even though he was on guard, he still got tricked.
Without any hesitation, the group immediately surrounded Ye Qiu.
"You little beast, you dare to kill someone from my Imperial Sword Sect! Let's see where you run this time."
One of them shouted in a deep voice, his voice filled with murderous intent.
"Take them down first," the leader said calmly.
"yes."
In an instant, more than a dozen Venerables attacked Ye Qiu simultaneously, all wanting to capture him.
Even Xiao Feng joined in the attack.
Ye Qiujian frowned and immediately counterattacked.
Even when surrounded by a group of Venerables, Ye Qiu did not fall behind, demonstrating exceptional combat strength.
Bang bang bang...
In an instant, these dozen or so Venerables were completely helpless against Ye Qiu.
On the contrary, they were shaken by Ye Qiu and kept vomiting blood. Two of them, Venerables, were even powerfully killed by Ye Qiu.
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, the leader immediately took action.
boom.
A terrifying pressure descended, like the aura of a god, enveloping Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu suddenly felt difficulty breathing, and his magical power was also not circulating smoothly.
This was a terrifying pressure from a higher realm, a pressure that Ye Qiu had never felt before.
He had once challenged and even killed Venerables while at the Divine Seal Realm, but now, Ye Qiu realized that he seemed unable to challenge beings at a higher realm while at the Venerable Realm.
Seeing the leader reach out to grab him, Ye Qiu broke out in a cold sweat and immediately retreated.
But the other experts wouldn't let Ye Qiu retreat; they all took action to block his escape route.
"Get out of here."
Ye Qiu raised his hand, and the Immortal-Slaying Sword appeared instantly.
boom.
Ye Qiu slashed out with his sword, the Chaos Fire Technique transforming into surging sword energy that swept outwards.
In the blink of an eye, the group of Venerables who wanted to cut off Ye Qiu's escape route were all cut in half at the waist, as if they were being chopped into melons and vegetables.
Ye Qiu charged past, and in the process, cleaved Xiao Feng's head off with a single sword stroke.
But at the same time, the attack from the rear also arrived.
Ye Qiu reacted swiftly, taking a step that covered over a hundred feet, easily dodging the attack.
"Damn it."
The leader was furious.
He was the second elder of the Imperial Sword Sect. He encountered Ye Qiu with more than a dozen Venerables, but Ye Qiu killed more than a dozen of them and even let him escape. If he did that, he would have no face left to save.
Thinking of this, the leader relentlessly pursued Ye Qiu...
