"There's no need for an explanation. I'll directly search your soul and know everything."
The words of the Supreme Saint Jiu Jue came from the air, and Ye Qiu felt like a nail, pinned to the spot. The pressure of such a Supreme Saint made it hard for him to breathe.
Ye Qiu had faced Supreme Saints before, like the Protector of the Stone Demon Lord, and Zhuang Miaoshan, who wanted to take him as a disciple, were both Supreme Saints. But this was different from facing Jiu Jue now.
The Stone Demon Lord's Protector, the old slave, was no longer a true Supreme Saint. He had passed his prime and was on a decline, being just a notch above an ordinary Saint. Even so, Ye Qiu had to rely on the combination of his Saint clone and darkening to barely manage to take him down.
As for Zhuang Miaoshan, he had no murderous intent towards him and never pressured him or fought with him.
