Chapter 1716: Your Heavenly God Isn’t Going To Respond To You

“It’s too bad we weren’t able to trace it to the original’s hiding spot. Otherwise, we would be able to wipe the Black Water Heavenly God out once and for all.”

Feng Qingyou said with a little sigh.

Ye Qing chuckled. “We’ve already done everything we could and should do. The rest is up to the others.”

He was talking about the Thirty Six Countries of the Western Regions, of course. They had to make work for them, lest they kill their own all day and night because they were too bored.

Feng Qingyou nodded without a word.

“Oh? Another fish has delivered itself to our doorsteps.”

It was at this moment Ye Qing and Feng Qingyou gazed into the distance at the same time[1]. There, a man covered in tentacles and eyes were flying straight toward them.

The man was, of course, the third and final head of the Black Water Divine Sect, Many Eyed.

Right now, Many Eyed looked very angry. However, he also looked worried.

It was because he missed his target. He had failed to locate Feng Qingyou.

The plan he, Black Mountain and Flying Dragon came up with was to have Black Mountain and Flying Dragon go after Ye Qing with most of their men. The goal was to capture or kill Ye Qing in the shortest amount of time possible. On the other hand, his mission was to keep Feng Qingyou busy for as long as possible. Not capture, not kill, just keep her busy.

There were two reasons. One, it was to stop her from helping Ye Qing. Two, it was to keep her from feeling overwhelmed and escape. Once Black Mountain and Flying Dragon were done with Ye Qing, they would join him and tackle Feng Qingyou with him.

The heavenly god had ordered them to capture and sacrifice Ye Qing and Feng Qingyou to him. Naturally, the plan must be airtight, and the execution must be perfect.

They believed that their plan was flawless. Their confidence came from their own strength.

On their own, they wouldn’t have been this confident. But after the Black Water Heavenly God had shared his power, they were no longer worried about anything.

However, Many Eyed never imagined that he would miss Feng Qingyou.

That’s right. He arrived at his destination but could not find her no matter how hard he searched for her.

He did not know how or why this happened, but the point was that he missed Feng Qingyou.

He tried contacting Black Water and Flying Dragon and received no response from them either.

Left with no choice, he had to rush over at top speed and find out about the situation himself.

That was how he arrived at Old Jingjue just in time to see the people they were gunning for just standing there in the open and smiling at him cheerfully.

They looked like predators who were fondly observing a prey that just delivered itself to their doorsteps.

Black Mountain and Flying Dragon were nowhere to be found. Their members were nowhere to be found as well.

Even the air was completely devoid of energy or disturbances.

It was as if Black Water and Flying Dragon had never arrived.

He was certain they had though.

But Black Mountain and Flying Dragon were gone, and the two people they were gunning after were standing in front of him.

There could only be one possibility then. Something bad had happened to Black Mountain and Flying Dragon.

It was a possibility he found it near impossible to believe. However, he could not deny the reality staring him in the face.

As for what exactly had happened to them, he didn’t dare to imagine it. He was unwilling to imagine it.

Right now, the only thing he could do was run as far away as possible.

Many Eyed did not hesitate. He immediately turned around and escaped.

Incredibly, his tentacles worked like oars and stirred up the calm space around him.

The next moment, Many Eyed disappeared into the chaotic space.

“Tsk... no wonder he’s called Many Eyed. He clearly has good eyes.”

Ye Qing smirked at the escaping Many Eyed. However, his smirk was scornful and ridiculing.

The next moment, Ye Qing raised his hand and performed a knocking motion.

A living celestial arrives on a moon.

He gently knocks the southern heavenly door.

A knock appears, the stars shake.

The knock subsides, and celestials are disturbed.

The knock sounded crisp and clear like spring water. A ripple appeared, and like an invisible hand that scattered the dark clouds and returned the sun to the world, it scattered the bundle of chaos and exposed Many Eyed.

Sensing danger, Many Eyed waved his tentacles madly. The eyes on his tentacles also swung open all at once and ignited the space around him like it was a physical object. He was trying to resist the spreading ripple.

However, his resistance was obviously futile. The ignited space was gently but irresistibly subdued.

He could only watch helplessly as the gentle ripple eventually hit his body.

The next moment, Many Eyed was physically ripped out of the space he had already merged into and trapped by an invisible power.

How is he so strong?

Many Eyed already guessed that Ye Qing would be incredibly powerful and treated him with a considerable amount of respect. However, it was only now he found out that he still underestimated his opponent.

Clearly, he realized too late. But just because it was too late did not mean that he would submit.

After all, he hadn’t lost yet.

Many Eyed roared and swelled rapidly in size. His tentacles grew thicker and stronger, the eyes on his tentacles turned blood red in color, and countless silhouettes walked within the pupils and whispered words of temptation and seduction.

Rumble...

The next moment, Many Eyed actually launched an attack against Ye Qing. The tentacles pierced through space or crushed the ground while kicking up a terrible storm in the process.

Ye Qing’s only response was to lift his hand, bend his finger, and tap.

If the tap from earlier was gentle and soft like a calm breeze or a gentle moon, then this one was like a morning gong that awakened all things, loud and clear.

Thump!

All things disintegrated before the sound. The tentacles all exploded into pieces before the blood and gore were ground into nothing.

In just the blink of an eye, Many Eyed had turned into a bald flesh ball.

“Argh!”

Many Eyed screamed in pain and even more fear. He cried, “Grant me strength, heavenly god!”

The next moment, he froze. It was because he did not receive a response from his heavenly god.

What’s going on? Why isn’t the heavenly god responding to my call?

Confused, Many Eyed shouted again, “Please grand me strength, heavenly god!”

Yet again, he did not receive any response from the Black Water Heavenly God.

How could this be? Why isn’t the heavenly god responding to me? Has he abandoned me?

Many Eyed was terribly confused and afraid. A bit of despair was seeping in as well.

In the past, he never despaired no matter how powerful or scary his opponent was. It was because he would not die so long as the Black Water Heavenly God was with him. So long as his god shared with him his strength, he feared nothing and no one.

But now, the Black Water Heavenly God wasn’t responding.

Right here and now, he was truly afraid and panicked.

“Stop shouting. Your heavenly god can barely protect himself right now. He won’t respond to you.”

Suddenly, Ye Qing’s taunt rang beside his ears.

“What nonsense are you spouting? The heavenly god is omnipotent! He cannot possibly be in trouble!” Many Eyed shouted crazily.

Ye Qing did not kill Many Eyed even though he could. Instead, he said, “You can give it a try if you don’t believe me. See if your heavenly god will help you.”

Many Eyed was going to try even if Ye Qing hadn’t dared him. After all, the Black Water Heavenly God was his only hope. How could he give it up?
