After thinking about it seriously, Ye Qiu shook his head and gave up on this thought.
From the looks of it, walking the path of the Immortal Ancient Battlefield was indeed the best. It could train a person's will very well and compete with those so-called geniuses on the same stage.
He could hone himself in battle and clearly recognize the mystic techniques and mystic-arts of the various large clans.
However, danger was everywhere now. The Heaven Mending Pavilion was on the verge of collapse. It was not the time for him to leave. At the very least, he had to wait until it stabilized before thinking about it. Or rather, he had to wait until after the Heaven Mending Grand Competition.
"Alright, kid! You don't have to worry too much about the Strange. At least for now, Tian can't enter this place. Unless…"
The old locust tree wanted to say something but hesitated. Ye Qiu's heart skipped a beat. "Unless what?"
The old locust tree hesitated for a moment and did not answer. He only laughed and said, "How is that possible? Unless…"
Ye Qiu didn't believe his nonsense and left a reminder in his heart. This was a variable that needed to be considered. Perhaps at the critical moment, this was the most fatal killing move. Unfortunately, if the old locust tree didn't say anything, Ye Qiu had no choice but to shake his head helplessly.
"In that case, I'm relieved." Nodding, Ye Qiu continued, "However, I still have a question. I wonder if Senior can answer it?"
"What question?"
Ye Qiu stared at it intently. After a while, he said, "Senior, do you know where the First Elder went to visit?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the old locust tree immediately stopped talking and its expression became serious. Ye Qiu wasn't in a hurry. He just waited silently. He wasn't the only one curious about Meng Tianzheng's whereabouts. Everyone in the Heaven Mending Pavilion was.
Therefore, Ye Qiu specially came to ask the old locust tree if it knew anything.
"Hmm… I don't know about that." After a long silence, the old locust tree shook his head and replied.
It acted like it didn't know anything, but Ye Qiu felt that it definitely knew. However, if it didn't say it, Ye Qiu had no choice. It was a headache. "In that case, Junior won't disturb Senior anymore. Goodbye." Ye Qiu could only go back and think about it.
"Hehe… Kid, you don't have to worry too much. With my understanding of him, he must have deduced it countless times before he left. Since he left so easily, there must be a chance of survival. As for what it is, that will depend on how you discover it."
The old locust tree's words reminded Ye Qiu.
"That's right!"
Ye Qiu deeply understood Meng Tianzheng's scheme. He was a complete scam… No, he was a complete schemer.
Since this old man who was known to scheme against the world could leave in peace, he must have deduced it thousands of times before he left the divine mountain.
Since he did not make any arrangements or give any instructions, the Heaven Mending holy land would definitely be safe and sound. Even if something happened, it wouldn't be to the extent of destroying a sect.
Thinking of this, Ye Qiu finally heaved a sigh of relief. "Whew, tricks, it's all tricks."
Ye Qiu firmly believed that Meng Tianzheng must have a backup plan. There was a conspiracy. This old man valued the Heaven Mending Pavilion more than anyone else. How could he sit back and watch the Heaven Mending Pavilion be destroyed?
There must be a conspiracy.
However, he did not know who he was plotting against this time.
"It can't be me, right?" Ye Qiu was traumatized. Thinking of this, he felt a chill run down his spine.
In terms of being schemed against, Ye Qiu should be the person who had been schemed against the most, right? This old fellow kept taking advantage of him. Almost every time he schemed, he had to pull Ye Qiu out to whip his corpse.
"There's a trap, there must be a trap."
The more Ye Qiu thought about it, the more terrified he became.
"Senior, I'll take my leave first." If he couldn't figure it out, he might as well not think about it. Ye Qiu patted his butt and left. He didn't even listen to the old locust tree's last words and slipped away.
The waters here were deep. He did not want to be trapped in the mud and used as a tool.
Ye Qiu had already done this many times. He didn't want to do it again. In a moment, Ye Qiu disappeared from his spot. The old locust tree was stunned. "F*ck, why is this kid running so fast?"
Why did he run so quickly at the mention of Meng Tianzheng's tricks? Was he that terrifying? After Ye Qiu left, it fell into deep thought. It couldn't help but recall the dark history that belonged to it when Meng Tianzheng first came to the divine mountain. Suddenly, its entire body trembled and it was in a state of shock. "Hmm… Looks like I have to hide too."
The old locust tree took root on the spot and fell into a deep sleep, like a rotten piece of wood. If one didn't pay attention, they wouldn't be able to notice that this was a piece of wood with powerful vitality. They would think that it was a dead piece of wood.
This was the old locust tree's unique concealment method. As long as one wasn't paying attention, they wouldn't be able to find its existence at all. No matter how powerful one's divine sense was, they wouldn't be able to find it.
As a king in cowardice, this was one of its few life-saving methods. Of course, other than this, it actually had many other methods, but it had yet to reveal them. If it really only had this one move, 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 training hall. Unexpectedly, when he passed by Ming Yue's Cave Abode, Ming Yue's voice transmission came from inside. "How is it? What did that senior say?"
"Hmm?" Ye Qiu was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect Ming Yue, who was in seclusion, to have been paying attention to the peak. He was a little surprised. "Aren't you in seclusion?"
Hearing this, Ming Yue was clearly silent for a few seconds before quickly replying, "I'm not in complete seclusion."
Ye Qiu's mouth twitched. He didn't expect her to have been paying attention to what was happening outside. After thinking for a moment, Ye Qiu still replied, "That's an old scammer. It doesn't know anything. When I went up, it was still thinking about how to escape. If we count on it, we might as well part ways as soon as possible and go home."
Ye Qiu replied sincerely. This was his most direct evaluation.
Ming Yue fell silent. She knew that Ye Qiu wouldn't joke with her at such a critical moment. She had always respected that Ancestral Guardian Spirit and even compared it to a respected elder like Meng Tianzheng.
However, she never expected it to be such an Ancestral Guardian Spirit.
I've been deceived… I've admired you for so many years. How can you lie to me?
For a moment, it was difficult to accept. She had a mental breakdown.
"Really? The last trace of stubbornness in her heart made Ming Yue want to confirm it again.
Ye Qiu immediately replied, "I'm a puppy if I lie to you."
"Okay…"
This sentence made Ming Yue fall silent. How could it lie?
The respected Ancestral Guardian Spirit, who had been given the protection of the Heaven Mending holy land, actually thought about how to escape when the sect was in danger.
