500: Since I'm not having a good life...it's useless for you to want to live!

The clash between a Sub-Saint and the Child of the Great Path caused a massive commotion, detectable even from a great distance.

Qiu Chuwen knew this...

Li Qi knew this too...

Therefore, both of them intended to end the battle quickly.

They wanted to take the other down swiftly and then leave immediately.

But unfortunately... neither of them got their wish.

This was the first time Qiu Chuwen had seen the Child of the Great Path with his own eyes, and the first time he had fought one; the discomfort and frustration of it was something only he could experience.

To him, Li Qi was like a spiked iron ball that he couldn't find a way to bite into; taking him down was incredibly difficult, let alone doing it quickly.

And on the opposite side, it was the same for Li Qi.

Qiu Chuwen was a Sub-Saint, and after using a secret technique to stimulate the full power of the Sacred Throne, he was no different from a Saint King.

Li Qi was essentially fighting a Saint King!

Taking him down was equally strenuous.

The two had only been fighting for the time it takes to drink a few cups of tea when they caught the attention of a Saint King, who rushed over at high speed...

...

The Saint King who arrived at the battlefield had a tall and slender build, faintly appearing to be a handsome man.

However, because his face was shrouded in layers of faint black mist, his features could not be seen clearly.

The Saint King who arrived here had already fused with two Sacred Thrones, and the pressure he radiated was far more powerful than Qiu Chuwen's. Not only that, but a faint, sinister Qi emanated from this Saint King's body.

He looked around, carefully examining the residual traces left after the great battle, a hint of playfulness flashing in his eyes.

"Interesting, a Sub-Saint actually appeared here."

The unique aura of a Saint King Realm expert remained here, but this aura was unstable, fluctuating in strength like ripples on a lake surface blown by a breeze.

This was not an aura left behind by a normal Saint King Realm expert.

Instead, it was the residual aura of a Sub-Saint who had used a secret technique to forcibly elevate their strength to the Saint King level.

That was why the aura was so unstable and unnatural.

"A Sub-Saint?!"

The arriving Saint King lightly rubbed his chin, quickly analyzing the various details.

"A Sub-Saint, why wouldn't he stay hidden... why come here to fight to the death?"

"And even went as far as using a burst-type secret technique?"

"There is definitely something strange about this!"

After a careful investigation, more and more details were unearthed by this Saint King.

Only two people had fought; one was a Sub-Saint...

The other person was not a Sub-Saint, but only in the Dao Source Realm...

This Dao Source Realm cultivator had mastered the Three Thousand Great Daos and had already reached the level of a Dao Ancestor...

When the two fought, why were there traces of so many different Three Thousand Great Daos left at the scene? The number exceeded a hundred types...

Could it be...

The Saint King's eyes grew wider and wider as an incredible thought appeared in his mind.

"The other person fighting the Sub-Saint... is the Child of the Great Path?!!"

"How could this be?"

"In this world... another Child of the Great Path has appeared?"

The Saint King took a deep breath and then repeatedly identified the traces left here, finally confirming that his judgment was correct.

The person fighting the Sub-Saint... really was a Child of the Great Path!

This also explained why a Sub-Saint wouldn't hide properly but instead risked exposure to engage in a fierce battle with a Child of the Great Path here...

Because the Sub-Saint wanted to capture the Child of the Great Path!

"Interesting!"

"Interesting!!!"

"To think I'd stumble upon a Sub-Saint! And there's even a Child of the Great Path! Hahahahaha..."

The Saint King laughed wildly, his voice shaking the surroundings.

"Mine!"

"They're all mine!"

"You... are all mine!!!"

The two combatants had not yet fled far. The Saint King raised his hand and waved; a layer of the ground beneath his feet was erased out of thin air, wiping away all traces of Li Qi and Qiu Chuwen's fight. Then, the Saint King immediately chased after one of the targets.

He wanted to catch both of them before the other Saint Kings could react.

And the first target he locked onto was Qiu Chuwen...

...

After sensing a true Saint King approaching, Li Qi decisively fled.

Dealing with a half-baked Sub-Saint was already exhausting; dealing with a true Saint King would be even more dangerous.

If they continued to fight, it would inevitably attract the attention of more and more Saint Kings, even those who had been in seclusion for many years... they might all come out.

Li Qi had absolutely no intention of greeting these people and retreated from the battlefield at full speed.

The Divine Travel Dao truly lived up to its name as the pinnacle of speed among the Three Thousand Great Daos. With just a few teleportation leaps, Li Qi was far away from the battlefield.

Furthermore, he had mastered various methods for concealing his tracks. He changed his identity once again and carefully hid.

It was precisely because of this that the Saint King chasing them realized Li Qi was troublesome; a reckless pursuit might not yield results, so he focused his first target on Qiu Chuwen.

This terrified the old man Qiu Chuwen. Sensing a Saint King chasing behind him with the distance between them closing... he was instantly scared out of his wits, his Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

One could guess what the consequences would be if a Sub-Saint were captured just by thinking with their backside.

Would there be any good outcome for him then?

So Qiu Chuwen also ran for his life, using every means at his disposal, only seeking to shake off the Saint King behind him.

A person who could obtain a Sacred Throne from scratch certainly had some skill; otherwise, it would be impossible to secure such a thing under the watchful eyes of numerous Saint Kings.

Qiu Chuwen ran in front while the unknown Saint King chased behind. The two sides held out for a day and a night... and in the end, Qiu Chuwen actually managed to escape!

After escaping to safety, Qiu Chuwen was filled with a mix of grief and joy, tears wetting his eyes.

He had never been so pathetic in his life, being chased like a dog across almost half of the Origin Realm!

If he had been even a little slower... he would have truly been finished!

"Why keep chasing me so relentlessly?"

"Why couldn't you go after that Child of the Great Path first?"

"The Sacred Throne on me isn't even half as precious as the Child of the Great Path! This is just bullying!!!"

The more Qiu Chuwen thought about it, the more miserable and aggrieved he felt, and a malicious intent suddenly sprouted from his heart.

"Fine! Fine!"

"Since a Saint King has already made a move, I definitely can't count on that Child of the Great Path anymore!"

"In that case, I'll make sure you die thoroughly! This is all your fault!"

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been exposed!"

"Since I'm not having a good time... don't even think about staying alive!"

After a bit of disguise, Qiu Chuwen cautiously emerged and found a hidden channel to start spreading news about the Child of the Great Path, vowing to put Li Qi to death.

Now it was just great; if he hadn't come out, he wouldn't have noticed... but now the whole world was already full of news about him.

"Shocking! Why did Qiu Chuwen fake his death to escape? It turns out..."

"Men fall silent upon hearing it, women shed tears upon hearing it; let me tell you the unknown story of Qiu Chuwen!"

"Revealing Qiu Chuwen! A Prodigy of a generation faked his death to seclude himself, all to charge into the Saint King Realm!"

"Sacred Throne Appears! Qiu Chuwen actually has a Sacred Throne on him; a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity, come quickly to snatch it!"

"Be quick or miss out! A brief analysis of ten thousand ways to deal with Qiu Chuwen!"

When he saw these messages, Qiu Chuwen knew he was completely exposed.

And as for who exposed him... he could tell just by thinking with his backside!

"What a beast!"

"A fucking beast!"

"I, Qiu Chuwen, cannot live under the same sky as you!"

Qiu Chuwen was filled with grief and indignation; a mouthful of blood welled up in his throat and he sprayed it out...

...

And the one who exposed Qiu Chuwen... was naturally Li Qi.

After escaping to safety, Li Qi immediately thought of Qiu Chuwen; that old guy was very cunning and wouldn't be caught so easily.

It wasn't hard to predict Qiu Chuwen's mindset and thoughts after his escape, so Li Qi anticipated his various moves and took counter-measures in advance...

Before Qiu Chuwen could expose him... he exposed Qiu Chuwen first!

And to make the news eye-catching enough, Li Qi specifically used the 'shocking' clickbait style he had seen in his previous life!

Shocking the onlookers for a hundred years!

We'll just expose each other... who's afraid of who?

Whoever chickens out first is the grandson!

Li Qi exposing Qiu Chuwen wasn't just to vent his anger; there were other considerations.

Now both of them faced the situation of being exposed and had become targets for everyone, and Qiu Chuwen was the target who would help Li Qi share the heat.

At the very least, he could help Li Qi share half of the heat!

He was a very good tool.

Until Qiu Chuwen truly met his end, Li Qi's situation wouldn't be the worst.

"Annoying!"

"To think things have turned out like this..."

"Forget it... I should hurry up and improve my strength first..."
