Chapter 62: Investigation

"It seems like today... you are going to helll!" Ye Qiu's voice was icy.

Sharp arrows followed suit and shot out!

"Don't underestimate me! Fourth soul skill, Blade Qi Protection! Haha!" Mo Dao shouted, and a faint light flashed over his fourth purple soul ring. Instead of retrieving the large knife embedded in the ground, he kept it upright, pressing the tip downward.

Squelch! The blade plunged into the ground, and soul power surged, transforming into a violent blade qi scattering in all directions.

Ding! Ding! Sparks flew as several arrows were deflected.

"Hehe, next..." Mo Dao lifted his head, grinning, feeling the crisis was averted and the advantage was his!

However, when he saw Ye Qiu's mocking eyes, his words paused.

"Sorry, but you won't have a 'next'!" Ye Qiu pointed at his neck, then wiggled his index finger.

"Ugh!" Mo Dao's neck stiffened, and he coughed up blood, unbelievably staring at the arrow lodged in his neck.

"This... Ugh." His large knife dispersed, and blood blocked his throat. Unable to make a sound, he clutched his neck, unable to stop the bleeding.

"It's quite simple, actually. I shot two waves of arrows, but you only saw it once!" Ye Qiu gestured with his index finger, using an illusion to conceal such a simple action as flipping a switch!

With a thud, Mo Dao fell straight down, eyes wide open.

In his dying moments, his mind was filled with a pair of blood-red eyes adorned with three Tomoe.

Surveying the battlefield, Ye Qiu found that using illusions in battle was a good choice!

People who didn't understand him were easily deceived!

After the baptism of the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, his spiritual power had also strengthened significantly. Confusing some lower-ranked Soul Masters was a piece of cake. Using Tsukuyomi

, even those newly promoted Soul Kings will fall.

A green light enveloped Ye Qiu's body, forming a humanoid figure, and a natural fragrance wafted through the air.

Xiao lan appeared in his arms.

"Brother! Are you hurt?" Just as she came out, she started feeling around Ye Qiu.

"Alright! Why are you becoming less obedient?" Ye Qiu opened her hand away.

"I'm just worried about you~" Pouting, she would rather not grow up. Since her breakthrough, her brother hadn't been holding her as much.

Ignoring the coquettish Xiao lan, Ye Qiu hugged her and jumped off the horse, releasing the jade eye Skywing Tiger that wasn't seen for a long time.

The tiger was extremely affectionate towards Ye Qiu, running to him with a touch of dependence in his eyes. It stuck out its tongue, wanting to lick Ye Qiu's face, but fortunately, Xiao lan blocked its way.

"Brother! Why did you find a female tiger back then?" Holding the tiger's head, she glared fiercely at the jade eye Skywing Tiger, then complained to Ye Qiu with a hint of resentment.

"I wasn't thinking that much at the time. As long as I could ride it, it was fine." Ye Qiu rolled his eyes, soothing the tiger. After calming it down, he lifted Xiao lan onto the tiger's back.

"Alright! Let's leave here as soon as possible. The smell of blood will attract many soul beasts."

Leaning against Ye Qiu's chest, Xiao lan 's mood improved.

When the tiger ran a distance away, she grabbed its ears and didn't let go, bringing it to a stop.

"Roar~" The jade eye Skywing Tiger let out a mournful cry.

"Xiao lan? What's wrong with you again?" Ye Qiu looked at her in confusion.

"Brother, where are we going? Are we going to keep walking like this?" Even though the tiger had stopped, Xiao lan still held onto its ears.

"..." Xiao lan 's words left Ye Qiu dumbfounded.

Where was the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes again? He had forgotten the details mentioned in the original book, only knowing it was inside the Sunset Forest.

Surveying the surroundings with a frown, the forest stretched endlessly. Where should he start looking?

Ye Qiu furrowed his brows.

"Phew~" Exhaling lightly, Ye Qiu's Sharingan had already activated, and a purple mist churned between the three Tomoe.

With his current spiritual power, his vision was quite limited. A range of two kilometers was already the limit!

His vision quickly pierced through the trees in front, spreading towards the distance. He saw... people forming teams to hunt soul beasts and others fleeing desperately from soul beast pursuits. However, there was no sign of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes.

As Ye Qiu observed the surroundings, Xiao lan stared at him intently for a while.

"Ye Qiu brother's eyes... are just too good-looking!"

Getting closer, her expression became infatuated.

Ye Qiu, focused on his observation, didn't notice Xiao lan 's actions. He turned his head to scrutinize the surroundings again, witnessing the battles between humans, the infighting among soul beasts, all captured in his vision.

However, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes were still nowhere to be seen.

Ye Qiu felt a bit embarrassed. The Sharingan clairvoyant eyes could indeed see very far, but some of the things he saw were very inappropriate for children. He didn't mean it,

His eyes were showing signs of strain, bloodshot and panting heavily. Activating the Sharingan at full capacity was mentally taxing.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, Ye Qiu felt a slight chill on his cheek. Xiao lan had somehow turned and leaned against him, wrapping her arms around his waist, and once again, she hung herself up.

There were even a few droplets of saliva at the corner of her mouth.

" Xiao lan!" Ye Qiu was getting a bit annoyed; his face turned red with anger. However, after calling her once, she didn't react but instead leaned towards his mouth again.

Pressing her forehead, Ye Qiu finally noticed something unusual.

Her originally azure eyes now carried a hint of pink, giving her a somewhat charming look.

"Ye Qiu brother, so handsome~" Unrestrained, she clung to him, trying to move her face closer.

"Ugh." Witnessing this familiar scene, Ye Qiu remembered that this was probably the fault of his own eyes.

Helplessly shaking his head, he had no choice but to give Xiao Lan another blow.

"Ya~" With misty and affectionate eyes, tears formed in her eyes as she blinked.

"Ugh~ it hurts!" Lowering her head, she covered her forehead, then puffed up her cheeks, lifting her head again. "Brother! Why did you hit Xiao lan again?"

"Look at what you've done?" Ye Qiu lowered his head, pointing at his own cheek. "Tiger didn't wash my face for me just now, but you managed to wash it all over!"

"I... Xiao lan didn't mean to!" Feeling wronged, she lowered her head, mumbling softly.

"Alright, put your leg down for now." Ye Qiu rubbed her head, wiping away the tears at the corner of her eyes. "Don't stare at my eyes like that next time."

"Why? They're so nice!"

"Put your leg down!" Ye Qiu raised his voice slightly, fearing he might reveal an awkward expression.

"Okay~ Brother, don't be angry~"

After she let go, Ye Qiu stepped back a bit, feeling a bit hot. Xiao lan gently tidied up his slightly disheveled shirt.

...

The short-lived commotion came to an end. Although Ye Qiu's reconnaissance yielded no results, he planned to continue searching for some time.
