After this grand feast worthy of a taotie, Meimei, Purple Moon, and the blue sun fell relatively quiet. Although they didn’t say anything, according to Qin Yu’s guesses, they must have had an enormous harvest.
These were more than 20 of the resentful spirits that they longed for in their dreams!
Qin Yu couldn’t help but sympathize with the one who had tried to kill him, the Dark Parliament Senator named Oriole. Her losses were considerable after all.
Of course, Qin Yu originally didn’t have the means to obtain this secret information. This was because once the resentful spirits were asked questions related to it, they would directly blow apart.
But the effects of the ‘three beautiful ladies’ were far too astonishing. They forcefully withdrew enough information for him from the fragments of the resentful spirits.
But concerning the Dark Parliament, Qin Yu still didn’t say anything. Through a veiled probe of the Hidden Fog Sect and Feng Qing, he discovered that they were an organization which still hadn’t been exposed as of yet.
Perhaps this was the reason they kept trying to use ‘tactful’ methods to achieve their goal after discovering the existence of Yun Die.
This was clearly a weak point he could use to threaten them…Qin Yu had a faint intuition that they would definitely come again.
But next time, it absolutely wouldn’t be Senator Oriole. This was something he found extremely regrettable.
…
Where there were people, there was intrigue. To put this in more established terms, where there were people, there would be transactions. And where there were transactions, there would be a market that helped facilitate the circulation of money and materials according to different needs and demands.
Hidden Fog Sect was built upon Hidden Fog Mountain. Not too far away from Hidden Fog Mountain was an enormous city that occupied a vast stretch of land. Countless cultivators passed through their gates every day and a massive amount of cargo was brought in and taken out.
On this day, two common-looking troops entered the city at nearly the same time. Then, one person from each troop found different excuses for leaving. When they left, some people from their respective troops felt reluctant to see them go.
“Miss Jasmine, we will be leaving in three days. If you can make it back in time, you can join us!”
This was a young miss wearing a veil. Her face was hazy, but her perfect physique was enough to move the heart. She nodded to the several young men and then drifted away.
“Mister Moon Shadow, I will be staying in the city for seven days. This is my address…if you have need of anything, please come and look for me.”
“Thank you miss for your good intentions. If I need anything, I will.” A warm and gentle voice came from between thin lips. He couldn’t be considered very handsome, but he possessed a rare and extraordinary affinity. Anyone that saw him felt close and intimate with him.
Leaving the carriage, the man waved his hand and walked away dashingly.
An hour later, the veiled miss and the man with the amazing affinity met together in a common shop. Without looking at each other, they were able to determine that the other person was the one they were waiting for. So by the time they left the shop, they were already standing shoulder to shoulder.
“Senator Moon Shadow, I have completed preparations on my side. I wonder if you are ready?”
“Senator Jasmine, rest assured that we will soon meet Mister Ning Qin.”
The two came to a stop. What lay in front of them was an intersection flooded with people. The two stood on the side of the road, under a beautifully patterned street lamp lit up with an illuminating array formation. They were like two silent stones in running water. Anyone that passed by would subconsciously withdraw a certain distance.
So, although the two were brilliant and charming figures, there were no young master playboys or love-starved young girls approaching them.
Time slowly passed.
…
Qin Yu ordered Yun Die to stay in the laboratory. Accompanied by several experts from the Hidden Fog Sect, he was like the degenerate son of a wealthy family, ready to go out and cause trouble. As he walked out, he kept his head high.
An hour ago he had received a letter of invitation. The other party asked him for a meeting. Although it wasn’t signed, it wasn’t difficult to guess their identity.
After hesitating for a moment, Qin Yu decided to meet them. If possible, he didn’t want an unfathomably strong enemy lined up against him.
Still, he did make the necessary preparations. Qin Yu didn’t want to become a corpse just because he wasn’t careful enough.
An hour before he went, people from the Hidden Fog Sect had already gone to the arranged meeting point and saw the two people waiting there.
The other party must have sensed this. They were willing to meet in an open area. Although this didn’t necessarily mean that they had no ill intentions, it did mean that they wished to speak with him.
This was the key point that Qin Yu was waiting for!
With the aid of the Hidden Fog Sect’s transmission array, Qin Yu soon arrived at the meeting point. At the crowded intersection, he saw the man and woman waiting silently beneath the street lamp.
Through some unknown method, they discovered Qin Yu at almost the exact moment he appeared. They looked up and nodded at him.
He traced his finger. The Hidden Fog Sect Master had solemnly promised that if any external force attacked him, this ring would automatically activate and block any attacks below the Divine Dao realm several times. Qin Yu took a deep breath and walked to the intersection.
At this time, over a dozen Hidden Fog Sect cultivators were positioned around the intersection. They were all waiting, completely focused, ready to attack at any time.
When he was several steps away from the street lamp, Qin Yu cupped his hands together and said, “I am Ning Qin, I came here upon invitation.”
The man and woman looked over Qin Yu. They bowed and said, “Jasmine, Moon Shadow, greet Mister Ning Qin.”
Powerhouses deserved their due respect.
Qin Yu smiled. “How can I deserve such good treatment? This is the first time I’ve met the Dark Parliament, and yet two Senators have personally come forward to greet me. This is my greatest honor.”
With these words, the atmosphere beneath the street lamp froze!
…
Before travelling to Hidden Fog Mountain, Moon Shadow and Jasmine each made their own preparations. Since the two of them had undertaken this mission, they would try to succeed with all their strength. They would try to crush Qin Yu and make him feel dread so that he wouldn’t want to become enemies with the Dark Parliament.
But today, upon first meeting him beneath the street lamp, without them able to use any of their methods, Qin Yu’s few words had completely overturned their plans – he knew of the Dark Parliament’s existence!
Moreover, it was clear he had a certain understanding of the Dark Parliament, otherwise it would be impossible for him to declare their statuses as Senators.
In the deathly silence, Moon Shadow’s ethereal voice sounded out. “Just where does Mister Ning Qin come from?” He was beginning to believe Sage’s guess, that Ning Qin must have some other unknown background.
Wherever people went in the world they were bound to leave traces, not to mention a large-scale organization such as their own. But, the Dark Parliament had always been low-key in their actions and cleaned up the messes they left behind. This was the reason they were able to remain undetected. But over the long years, there had been some influences that detected the existence of the Dark Parliament. They simply chose to maintain their silence due to certain reasons.
Of course, those that knew of the Dark Parliament’s existence and were still able to remain intact were all top influences of the world and possessed extremely terrifying strength.
At this moment, within Moon Shadow and Jasmine’s eyes, it was highly likely that Qin Yu came from such a background. If so, then they had to make severe changes in their plans, otherwise it would initiate an enormous disturbance.
Qin Yu relaxed inwardly. While he had made preparations for the worst case situation, being able to avoid direct conflict was the best result.
And now it looked like his plan had been the correct one. By directly revealing his knowledge of the Dark Parliament, he had disrupted their rhythm and temporarily took the winning side.
Savoring his opponent’s words, Qin Yu’s thoughts raced. “It doesn’t matter who I am. What is important is that I do not wish to become enemies with the Dark Parliament.”
Jasmine said, “But presently it appears that Mister Ning Qin already stands across from the Dark Parliament.”
“I wasn’t the one who took a lead in launching an attack on the other party. In fact, I have never taken the initiative to harm the Dark Parliament’s interests.” Qin Yu’s voice was calm from beneath his black robes. “Instead, it is the Dark Parliament that wishes to take something away from my disciple, leading to today’s situation.”
The atmosphere fell silent once again. This was the second information bomb that Qin Yu tossed out. Now knowing how much Qin Yu knew, Jasmine was silent for a moment before saying, “All things in this world belong to those who can possess them, otherwise they will bring more harm than good.”
Although she acknowledged his words, she didn’t reveal any actual information.
Qin Yu indifferently said, “The Ying Family paid with thousands of lives; their blood is enough to form a lake. Is that not sufficient qualification?”
Moon Shadow’s eyes sharpened. “Mister Ning Qin knows what it is?”
“Chaotic Sky Chronicle.”
His expression was light, as if he were talking about the weather.
The atmosphere beneath the street lamp fell silent once more.
Moon Shadow and Jasmine glanced at each other, confirming their thoughts. This person in front of them must originate from some top influence and possess an extremely high status, otherwise it was impossible for him to have the qualifications to know such top secret information. He took in Yun Die as his disciple…just what was his goal? If he simply wanted to take the Chaotic Sky Chronicle, why had he still not made his move?
All of these puzzles mixed together, forming a layer of fog around Qin Yu.
Sensing their mood, Qin Yu knew that the trap of deception he laid had succeeded. Now that these two were shaken, this was his best chance.
“Senator Moon Shadow, Senator Jasmine, I am old friends with the Ying Family, thus I am sheltering their descendant and preserving their bloodline in this world. If the Dark Parliament can give up on this matter, I would be thankful.” He casually gave a reason and explanation, and made himself appear even more deep and unfathomable.
“My apologies, but the Chaotic Sky Chronicle is of the greatest importance to the Dark Parliament. We cannot give up.” Jasmine’s expression was dignified as she rejected this offer without hesitation. “Since Mister Ning Qin isn’t willing to reveal your status, then we shall both utilize our respective methods.”
Moon Shadow nodded. “Until next time. I hope Mister Ning Qin takes care.”
Their hearts were heavy.
Ning Qin was sheltering Yun Die. If the Dark Parliament wanted to achieve their goal, they would inevitably come into contact with the influence behind him…wild waves were about to rise!
