Facing the combined attacks of six obam experts, the power of the earth spirit bead grew increasingly weak. Qin Yu hadn’t been able to find a turning point to help during this time. As he saw the thin brown layer of light about to break at any time, he softly sighed.
It seemed that besides directly facing them there wasn’t a second choice. If so, everything would depend on her luck.
If there was a chance to save her then he would definitely take Silent Kite away from Valiant Tomb Castle. But if things spun out of control….sorry, but he chose to protect his own life first.
He owed Celestial Retribution a favor so he would look for other opportunities to repay them. He wasn’t noble enough to willingly risk his life for a random woman he didn’t know.
He took a deep breath. Within his transformed body, two hearts began to accelerate. Blood energy began pumping through his veins.
Once he attacked he would instantly return to his human form and erupt with his greatest strength…
With that advantage he needed to kill as many obam as he could. Only by reducing the combat strength of his enemy was there a chance to save Silent Kite.
But just before Qin Yu decided to make his move, his heart suddenly shrank. A million warning signs rang out in his mind, causing him to forcefully suppress his volcanic strength.
At this time, Qin Yu completely restrained his aura. Like the surrounding obam he lay on the ground and shivered.
Ban g-
The skies shattered and a thin and small obam stepped out. But the aura he released was enough to suppress this entire region of the world.
It was like a vast divine mountain was falling down from the heavens, crushing everything below!
Qin Yu lowered his head down even more, sweat forming across his forehead. With just a glance he knew that this obam was their race’s super powerhouse, the Great Dragon Overlord!
This monster had been hidden here all along. Luckily he had been careful and didn’t decide to do anything until now. If he actually revealed himself early he might have died already.
The six obam that were wildly attacked the earth spirit bead all stopped and turned, bowing respectfully. “We greet the Great Dragon Overlord.”
“Humph! I thought that my old friend would secretly prepare one or two experts to protect his daughter but it seems that I underestimated how stone cold his heart was.” The Great Dragon Overlord smiled. His pale face proved that the injuries he received before still hadn’t been fully restored.
Silent Kite looked up, fiercely glaring at the Great Dragon Overlord. As if expecting something, she lifted a hand and struck her forehead.
“Hahaha, what an intelligent little girl. Your decisiveness to kill yourself is incredible. But since I have appeared, do you still think your life and death is in your hands?”
The Great Dragon Overlord lifted a hand and pressed a hoof forward. The final defense of the earth spirit bead directly shattered. The fragments of the collapsed earth spirit bead didn’t vanish. Instead, they howled and broke into Silent Kite’s body, condensing into a formidable seal.
“Take good care of this little girl. She will be my bait, one that I will use to draw in a large fish.” The Great Dragon Overlord turned around and stepped away, shattering space and leaving.
But even so, the fluctuations of his attack still left the world in a deathly silence. It was like a vicious beast had locked onto everyone, leaving them unable to move for a long time.
This also included Qin Yu.
After truly experiencing the Great Dragon Overlord at such a close range, he finally realized how terrifying he was. If it weren’t for the sudden arrival of Celestial Retribution and he decided to fight back, even if he had countless methods he would be ground to dregs without being able to use them.
In front of absolute strength, all tricks were useless!
Silent Kite was imprisoned and lost control of all her strength. Besides rolling her eyes she wasn’t able to utter a single word. As she thought about how the Great Dragon Overlord would use her as blackmail, even endangering her father, her anger was so great that she directly fainted.
“Look after her. Before the Great Dragon Overlord can make use of her, nothing can happen!”
The Great Dragon Overlord had departed. Perhaps because he was confident in his own imprisonment methods, he didn’t make any other arrangements.
After Qin Yu steadied his mind he left with the numerous other obam. He glanced at Silent Kite as she was carried away, a light flashing in her eyes.
He remembered all the words that the Great Dragon Overlord had spoken. He wanted to use Silent Kite as bait to draw in a large fish…? With the Great Dragon Overlord’s status, if there was someone that he would regard as a large fish, it had to be someone from Celestial Retribution’s ship…it seemed that this Silent Kite’s status was extraordinary.
If so…he drew in a deep breath. He couldn’t stand by and do nothing. Even if it was dangerous, he had to try again.
Because now, it was clear that Celestial Retribution and Nine Nether Peak both stood opposite of the obam race. The enemy of an enemy was a friend…this conclusion might seem a bit sloppy but it was still correct when applied to the current situation.
The dark night arrived. The chaotic Valiant Tomb Castle gradually calmed down. Although there had been a great deal of damage due to the fighting in the daytime, the noble lords who completed their mission were still in a good mood. A banquet slowly unfolded in the night.
Of course, no matter how sad the family members of the dead obam were, they could only hide their feelings deep within their heart. They even had to say that their kin dying for the Great Dragon Overlord was their life’s greatest honor.
As the song and dance was underway, Qin Yu in his obam form appeared at Valiant Tomb Castle’s dark dungeon.
He had already determined that Silent Kite was imprisoned here.
Closing his eyes, a flash of yellow light shimmered beneath Qin Yu’s foot. The ground softened, turning into a liquid that sucked him in. After cultivating the Five Element Samsara, Qin Yu had reached high enough attainments in the path of earth that he was able to easily accomplish this.
Qin Yu quietly made his way forward, dark golden light surging in his eyes. In this state, he could see every defensive measure fused in the ground.
Without obstruction, Qin Yu avoided numerous traps as he made his way deep into the dungeons. It was then that a net appeared in front of him.
To say it was a net wasn’t truly correct. It was the power of rules twisted together and woven into a net-like structure. As long as he touched it, it would sound out a loud alarm and the power of rules would create a backlash.
If any other cultivator were here, even if they were a true Divine Dao powerhouse, they would still find this net incredibly troublesome to deal with.
Breaking it wasn’t hard. The difficulty was that he would be discovered if he touched it anywhere.
No one knew for sure where the Great Dragon Overlord was. If he was alarmed, then the result would be…hohoho.
But fortunately, with the jade pendant embryo egg, this wasn’t too difficult for Qin Yu. It was difficult to unravel the net of rules, but Qin Yu didn’t need to completely open it to form an opening.
If so, the difficulty would be drastically reduced.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Yu pointed out a finger. His fingertip touched a thread of the net. What was strange was that this net of rules didn’t sound an alarm, as if his finger was nothing but a shadow.
With a thought, faint traces of strength continuously drilled out, fusing into the net of rules. But soon, Qin Yu frowned. His strength was indeed enough to quietly invade the net of rules and finally gain control of this thread.
But the speed was too slow!
According to the current speed, if Qin Yu wanted to open a channel he needed at least one day and one night, perhaps even longer. Who knew what would happen during this time period? Or perhaps the Great Dragon Overlord would decide to suddenly carry Silent Kite away.
But the most basic reason for this slow speed was that the level of Qin Yu’s strength was too low. This wasn’t something he could change in a short period of time.
As Qin Yu was at a loss of what to do, within his soul space, the rising and falling blue sun and purple moon suddenly trembled.
Hum-
Hum –
The sun and moon force field began to ripple.
In the next instant, Qin Yu discovered that the net of rules in front of him seemed to suffer a terrifying corrosive force. A large piece of it was quietly annihilated.
No…this wasn’t annihilation. Qin Yu’s eyes flew open. He never imagined that the sun and moon force field would possess such a potent ability.
The lost threads of rules before him had only turned transparent. And, this transparency was only for Qin Yu. In other words, he could quietly pass through the net of rules, but anyone else that came here would be blocked.
Qin Yu didn’t have time to celebrate. He suppressed his joy and passed through the net of rules, entering Silent Kite’s prison.
Through his senses, Qin Yu didn’t discover any guards. His thoughts moved and he rose up, drilling out from the softened ground.
Light flashed. Qin Yu undid his Flesh and Blood Distortion Art. He glanced over at Silent Kite who was staring at him with wide eyes.
“Hold on. No matter what you feel, do not make a single noise. If you understand then move your eyes.”
When she responded, Qin Yu walked over to her and sat down cross-legged. Dark golden light surged in his eyes and his body stiffened. Without warning, Silent Kite became completely naked. Luckily, all he saw was her back before this phenomenon disappeared.
What the hell was this?
Was this a bonus skill given by the jade pendant embryo egg?
Qin Yu forced a smile before he restrained his mind. Then, he focused all his attention on Silent Kite’s imprisonment.
He had watched as the Great Dragon Overlord shattered the earth spirit bead and thrust its remnants into Silent Kite’s body, changing it into an imprisonment. It was because of this that he couldn’t help but feel shock and acclaim in his heart for how powerful the Great Dragon Overlord was.
In Qin Yu’s eyes, the casually arranged imprisonment was like a star in the heavens that hadn’t changed since ancient times. It seemed messy but it exuded an ancient and mystical aura.
It was incomparably formidable!
But fortunately, Qin Yu was able to break such an imprisonment.
It was thanks again to the jade pendant embryo egg and its penetrating essence that was able to peer straight into the source of all things. Of course, he also had to thank the Great Dragon Overlord for not using any more methods, otherwise even if Qin Yu could see it he would still be at a loss.
“You might feel ill. Remember what I said and don’t make a single sound.” He lifted a hand and placed it against Silent Kite’s waist.
Although she couldn’t move, her body still shivered. A cold sweat poured out, rapidly soaking he dress and outlining her curves.
But at this time, Qin Yu had no room for distracting thoughts. He could break through the imprisonment but it was something he was barely able to do. If he lost his concentration and an accident occurred then the backlash of the imprisonment would erupt. He might be fine but Silent Kite would die!
An hour later, there was a dull thumping sound from within Silent Kite’s body. Her frozen body slumped to the ground.
Qin Yu reached out a hand and hugged her against his chest. Without caring for the pleasant warmth, a brown light suddenly covered the two as they sunk down into the ground.
The sound of footsteps appeared several breaths of time later. A patrolling squad of obam arrived.
Soon, there were shocked roars of anger sounding out from deep within the dungeon. The dance and song happening at the noble masters’ banquet came to a screeching halt.
Looking at the empty prison, fear and anger submerged their minds. The six obam masters hysterically roared, “Find her! Find her, no matter the cost!”
Bang –
The moment the prison door was opened, a door also appeared in the net of rules.
Qin Yu held onto the unconscious Silent Kite and silently passed through. Like two fish escaping the net, they vanished deep underground.
