"But... now is not the time to think about this."

After thinking carefully, Ye Qiu shook his head and gave up the idea.

From the current perspective, the route through the ancient battlefield is indeed the best. It can train a person's will very well and allow one to compete with those so-called geniuses.

By honing himself in battle, he also clearly understood the secrets among the major clans.

But now, with crises lurking everywhere and the Butian Pavilion on the verge of collapse, it is not the time for him to leave.

At least we have to wait until things stabilize before considering it, or... wait until after the Bu Tian Competition.

"Alright, kid! You don't need to worry about the weird things. At least for now, that day...cannot enter here."

"unless……"

The old locust tree wanted to say something but stopped. When Ye Qiu said this, his heart skipped a beat.

"Unless what?"

The old locust tree hesitated for a moment and did not answer. It just laughed and said, "How is that possible? There is no alternative..."

Ye Qiu didn't quite believe his nonsense, and had a bottom line in his mind. This was an uncertain factor that needed to be considered.

Perhaps at the critical moment, this is the most deadly move.

Unfortunately, the old locust tree didn’t say anything, and Ye Qiu had no choice but to shake his head helplessly.

"In that case, I'm relieved."

Nodding, Ye Qiu continued: "But I still have a question, I wonder if the old senior can answer it?"

"What's the question?"

Ye Qiu stared at it intently, then he said, "Old Senior, do you know where the Great Elder is going to visit his friend?"

After these words were spoken, the old locust tree suddenly stopped talking and his expression became serious.

Ye Qiu was not in a hurry, but just waited silently. Not only he was curious about the whereabouts of Meng Tianzheng, but everyone in the Butian Pavilion was curious.

So Ye Qiu came specifically to ask the old locust tree if it knew anything?

"Well... I don't know about this old man."

After a long silence, the old locust tree shook its head and replied.

It acted as if it knew nothing, but Ye Qiu felt that it must know something.

But since it didn't say anything, Ye Qiu had no way to deal with it.

It’s a headache.

"In that case, I will not bother you any more. Goodbye..."

Without any gain, Ye Qiu could only go back and make long-term plans.

"Hehe... kid, you don't have to worry too much. From what I know about him, he must have deduced it countless times before leaving."

"Since he left so confidently, I think there must be some hope. As for what it is, it depends on how you find it."

The old locust tree's words reminded Ye Qiu.

"yes!"

Apart from anything else, Ye Qiu had a deep understanding of Meng Tianzheng's scheming against people.

He is a very cunning old man... No, he is a very shrewd and scheming old man.

Since this old man who claimed to have calculated the world could leave peacefully, I think he must have deduced it thousands of times before leaving the sacred mountain.

And he neither made any deployment nor gave any explanation, so the Bu Tian Holy Land must be safe and sound.

Even if something happens, it won't lead to the annihilation of the entire family.

Thinking of this, Ye Qiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"call……"

"Routine, it's all routine..."

Ye Qiu firmly believed that Meng Tianzheng must have a backup plan and that there was a conspiracy here.

This old man values ​​the Butian Pavilion more than anyone else. How could he sit idly by and watch the Butian Pavilion perish?

There must be a conspiracy.

I just don’t know who he is going to target this time?

"It can't be me?"

Ye Qiu had a shadow in his heart, and he felt a chill in his heart when he thought of this.

In terms of being schemed against, Ye Qiu should be the person who was schemed against the most, right? No doubt about it.

This old guy kept trying to fleece Ye Qiu, and almost every time he plotted, he would pull Ye Qiu out and give him a beating.

"There must be a routine..."

The more Ye Qiu thought about it, the more horrified he became.

"Old senior, I will take my leave first."

Unable to figure it out, Ye Qiu simply gave up thinking about it and left without even listening to the old locust tree's last attempt to keep him. He just ran away.

The water is deep here, and he doesn't want to be stuck in the mud and be used as a tool.

Ye Qiu has done a lot of things like this, and he doesn't want to do it again.

In a moment, Ye Qiu disappeared from the spot, and the old locust tree was stunned.

"Oh my god, how can this kid run so fast?"

Why did he run so fast when he mentioned Meng Tianzheng's routine? Is it so scary?

After Ye Qiu left, it fell into deep thought, and couldn't help but recall the dark history that belonged to it when Meng Tianzheng had just come to the sacred mountain.

Suddenly I shivered all over, feeling frightened.

"Well...it seems that I have to hide for a while."

Everything went dark, and the old locust tree took root on the spot and fell into a deep sleep, like a lump of rotten wood.

If you don't pay attention, you won't realize that this is a piece of wood with strong vitality, and you might think it is a piece of dead wood.

This is the unique hiding method of the old locust tree. As long as you don't pay attention and check, you won't be able to find its existence at all. No matter how powerful your spiritual sense is, you won't be able to find where it is.

As a king of survival, this is one of its few means of survival.

Of course, in addition to this, it actually has many other means, but they have not been revealed yet.

If this was really the only trick it had, how could it have survived until now?

After Ye Qiu bid farewell to the old locust tree, he went straight down and prepared to return to the Taoist temple.

However, he didn't expect that when passing by Mingyue Cave, he heard Mingyue's voice from inside.

"What happened? What did the old senior say..."

"Um?"

Ye Qiu was startled when he heard this. He didn't expect that Mingyue, who was in seclusion, had been paying attention to the things on the top of the mountain. He was a little surprised...

"Aren't you in seclusion?"

Hearing this, Mingyue was obviously silent for a few seconds, and then quickly replied: "I'm not in seclusion."

There was resentment in her words, and Ye Qiu's mouth twitched. He didn't expect that she had been paying attention to what was happening outside.

After thinking for a while, Ye Qiu replied: "That's just an old idiot. He doesn't know anything. When I went up, he was still thinking about how to escape."

"If you don't want to rely on it, you might as well break up early and go back to your own homes and find your own mothers."

Ye Qiu answered very sincerely. This was his most intuitive evaluation.

Mingyue was silent. She knew that at this critical moment, Ye Qiu would never play such a joke on her.

She has always been very respectful to the ancestral spirit, even comparing it to a respected elder like Meng Tianzheng.

But I never expected that it would be such an ancestral spirit.

I was cheated...

I have admired you for so many years, how could you lie to me?

It was hard to accept it for a while, and I felt like my mind was broken.

"real?"

The last bit of stubbornness in Mingyue's heart made her want to confirm it once again.

Ye Qiu immediately replied: "I'd be lying to you if I were a puppy..."

"All right……"

This sentence made Mingyue silent. How could it lie to people?

The ancestor spirit, who is highly respected and entrusted with the task of protecting the sacred land of Bu Tian, ​​actually thought of escaping first when the mountain gate was in crisis?

It's so discouraging.
