Chapter 1443: Nothing To Fear
“How was it?” Feng Qingyou asked smilingly.
“I did not disappoint.”
Ye Qing looked pleased as he responded, “The Sage retreated after taking a minor loss.”
The strange phenomenon just now was no natural phenomenon as a matter of course. It was the act of a Sage.
Unless they were gravely mistaken, it was Xuan Youxuan’s backer and the true mastermind behind the City of No Return.
In fact, Ye Qing and Feng Qingyou had sensed their aura while they were still in the City of No Return despite how concealed it was. They could have leaked it on purpose, but that wasn’t the point. The point was that the Sage was the main reason why he only took Xuan Youxuan’s Lightless Hell and breached the No Return God Demon Great Seal. It was also why he hadn’t seized the opportunity to kill Xuan Youxuan once and for all.
Without Lightless Hell and grievously injured, Xuan Youxuan was no more than an ant to him. He could have killed him with a finger, and obtained the City of No Return’s wealth, treasures, everything.
Did he not want the rewards? Of course not.
Only an idiot would refuse a piece of meat placed right next to his lips.
Ye Qing wasn’t stupid, of course. He didn’t take it because he couldn’t.
The moment he noticed the Sage’s existence, Ye Qing knew that coveting the City of No Return’s wealth meant going to war against a Sage.
Sure, he was now strong enough that an ordinary Sage no longer posed a threat to him, not to mention that Feng Qingyou was equally as strong as him in both cultivation level and strength. He dared to say that even Emperor Jing Run could no longer squash them like a bug.
