Supernatural Insight Eyes-Chapter 963 - 0 Slave! (First Update)

A figure clad in a flowing green dress, graceful and alluring, her long hair framing her cheeks with a unique charm.

This woman was Tang Surou.

When Ye Qiu wasn’t looking at Tang Surou, Tang Surou’s gaze had already fallen upon Ye Qiu. She had previously been worrying about Ye Qiu, but ever since Ye Qiu stepped into this place, driving out Ji Lingchen and the Clan Leader of the Ji Clan, his ability was truly one of a kind. Although much of this was credited to Yun Shang Palace’s Yun Boss, Ye Qiu had skillfully leveraged this advantage, stunning everyone in the process.

Their gazes met, and Tang Surou nodded lightly. Ye Qiu returned her gesture.

If Tang Surou was here, then surely Tang Heshan must have come as well.

However, Ye Qiu didn’t spot Tang Heshan. Instead, his gaze landed on Tang Ze, Tang Hao, and others.

These individuals were visibly surprised upon seeing Ye Qiu. They had assumed Ye Qiu would embarrass himself, yet with Yun Shang Palace’s Yun Boss present, no one dared to underestimate Ye Qiu anymore. Even the Ji Clan’s Clan Leader was forced to begrudgingly acknowledge Ye Qiu as the Clan Leader of the Ye Clan, which consisted of only one member.

All three felt deeply disappointed—they had long been displeased with Ye Qiu. Since Ye Qiu’s arrival in the Tang Clan, they hadn’t held a good impression of him. They’d even fought fiercely over the quota for the Great Emperor’s tomb back then.

And after emerging from the Great Emperor’s tomb, news concerning Ye Qiu frequently circulated, while the three of them remained largely obscure. Thus, their resentment toward Ye Qiu had grown day by day.

Ye Qiu’s gaze swept lightly over the three of them. Although he could discern their hostility toward him deep in their eyes, he paid it no mind. Back when he was at the Legendary Realm, these three couldn’t stir up a ripple under his hand, let alone now. His adversaries were the elder powerhouses. As for these younger individuals in the Ancient Lands, Ye Qiu didn’t consider any of them his equals.

Even Ji Lingchen, who had just broken into the Mythical Realm, could be slain by him with ease.

Ye Qiu’s indifferent gaze left the three feeling uncomfortable. From his eyes, they saw outright disregard and disdain.

They weren’t aware of Ye Qiu’s true strength, and this uncertainty only fueled their dissatisfaction. They wanted to confront Ye Qiu and cause trouble.

"What are you doing?" Tang Surou called out to the trio. She had long sensed their hostility toward Ye Qiu and immediately stopped them.

"We want to teach him a lesson. He’s just flaunting himself under Yun Shang Palace’s protection. If he thinks he can throw his weight around here, we absolutely won’t let him succeed," Tang Ze said.

Tang Surou’s face grew cold as she replied, "Today, you represent the Tang Clan. If you wish to resolve personal grudges, I won’t stop you. But don’t forget that your every move represents the Tang Clan today."

With Tang Surou invoking the Tang Clan’s authority, the three were forced to begrudgingly suppress their anger.

Ye Qiu glanced sideways and noticed this scene. He wasn’t bothered at all; he had already dealt with Elder Tang Feng, Tang Ze’s master, so why would he consider these apprentices a threat?

As long as they didn’t provoke him, he’d let things slide. But if they truly crossed his path, he would show no mercy. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Due to Yun Boss’s influence, every Clan Leader of the other ancient clans present had no choice but to reluctantly acknowledge Ye Qiu as the Ye Clan’s Clan Leader, exchanging hollow pleasantries and continuously toasting one another. Not until it became late at night and the Ji Clan banquet well into its revelries did the gathering finally disperse.

After leaving the Ji Clan with Yun Boss, Ye Qiu soon parted ways with her and returned to his courtyard.

Though the banquet had cost him a Primordial Pill—given as a gift to his greatest adversary from the Du Gu family—it was worthwhile in establishing the reputation of the Ye Clan. This was part of Ye Qiu’s calculation.

Currently, overturning the three great ancient clans was by no means simple. Even Jin Shanshun had emphasized repeatedly that dealing with the three great clans necessitated extreme caution.

Jin Shanshun had particularly stressed that the three great clans harbored supreme experts who hadn’t surfaced in a century. Such supreme experts were only mobilized when the ancient clans faced insurmountable crises, which was precisely why the three great clans had maintained their dominance over all other ancient clans.

In terms of supreme experts, the three great clans held an absolute advantage. All the martial artist elites they currently employed were merely surface-level forces; their true foundation lay in these supreme experts.

Thus, Ye Qiu decided to alter his plans. Despite possessing the capability to contend against multiple Mythical Realm warriors, he wasn’t confident enough to face supreme experts. Even resorting to reckless blackening couldn’t guarantee simultaneous victory against multiple supreme experts.

If it truly came to that, retreating would no longer be an option.

Ye Qiu needed to prepare thoroughly and accumulate sufficient strength before confronting the three great clans.

The next day, news about Ye Qiu being the sole member of the Ye Clan spread like wildfire across the Ancient Lands. Many who heard about it couldn’t help but find it amusing.

Regarding the development of the Ye Clan, Ye Qiu had already devised his plans. He took Jin Shanshun to the ancient clan market, where all kinds of trades took place.

Whether it be flora and fauna, cultivation techniques, rare and exotic treasures—though not comparable to Yun Shang Palace’s grand auctions—the market boasted a wider range of items.

Soon, under Jin Shanshun’s guidance, the two arrived at the slave market.

The slaves here consisted of displaced individuals from broken and weak families, as well as people from hidden and remote parts of the Ancient Lands whose strength was insufficient. These individuals had been captured and brought here for sale.

Some became playthings of ancient clan elites, while others became tools tasked with manual labor, like farming for the clans.

Male slaves generally fared worse than their female counterparts. Purchased female slaves might become servants or maids, leading relatively decent lives. However, if sold to twisted buyers who sought female slaves for torment, their lives could become unbearably tragic.

As the pair navigated the slave market, Ye Qiu felt deeply shaken. He hadn’t expected such a dark underbelly to exist within the Ancient Lands.

The slave merchants explained that the demand for slaves among certain prominent clans in the Ancient Lands was substantial, making the slave market particularly thriving of late.

Many individuals—male and female—stood inside cages, their bodies covered in filth, with some barely dressed. The despairing glints in their eyes spoke volumes; they had entirely lost hope in life.

The merchants began introducing various slaves, attempting to sell them to Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu considered buying them all. Confronting this grim reality of human suffering, his heart was burdened with sympathy. But could this act truly solve the problem? It would merely perpetuate the practice of trading slaves.

Ultimately, Ye Qiu purchased a few men and women whose eyes carried an unusual glimmer of light.

The transaction cost him over twenty third-grade Crystal Stones, securing five men and five women.

Clink.

Their shackles were unlocked as freedom was returned to the ten individuals. Yet Ye Qiu couldn’t see the slightest joy on their faces.

"From now on, you are members of the Ye Clan," Ye Qiu said to them coolly.

Swish...

Suddenly, the five men rushed forward, and just as Ye Qiu’s words fell, they lunged at him with the intent to kill.
