[red-eye demon -> blood-eye demon]
…
Before, it was said that Blue Wave wasn’t stupid. Since he knew that he couldn’t follow his big brother’s wishes today, he no longer dared to conceal anything.
He immediately retold everything that happened before, stressing the three Demon Commander level guards that followed beside Feature and Qin Yu. He didn’t even try hiding the existence of the blood-eye demon clan.
“Brother, that is what happened. Qin Yu and those people truly cannot be provoked, otherwise we will both be in grave trouble!”
Blue Sea’s face darkened. He looked at Blue Wave and slowly said, “You said that after encountering the blood-eye demon leader, he was still willing to let you go?”
Blue Wave nodded with effort.
“He…what did he look like…no, what was his expression?”
Blue Wave looked at his big brother, a bit puzzled. But facing this question he could only do his best to answer. After a short pause he said, “I felt that he was a little surprised, and was also ridiculing me…but he didn’t have much killing intent towards me…”
Blue Sea slowly nodded. He closed his eyes and opened them again, saying, “Never mention this matter to anyone. You may leave now.”
“Yes.” Blue Wave spun around and started hurrying away.
Behind him, Blue Sea’s voice rang out, “For this period of time, don’t randomly wander around. I will order someone to bring you to a seclusion area to cultivate.”
Blue Wave nodded.
When he was far away, Blue Sea let out a breath. There was a complex look on his face as he mumbled. “So he was lost to your hands…what an unexpected harvest…”
As he whispered to himself, his expression was calm. But, the slightly raised blood vessels on his neck indicated that he didn’t feel this way in his heart.
After consuming endless effort and numerous years of meticulous preparation, he only then managed to cultivate an avatar…although this avatar had been in a lost state due to an accident, as long as it was still alive, both of them were of one body and this would not change.
It wasn’t just an avatar that was killed and destroyed. Blue Sea’s plans for the future were also disrupted.
However, a mature and wise person would never leave just a single path for themselves. Blue Sea still had a backup plan.
But without a doubt, the difficulty of implementing this backup plan as well as the danger level was extremely high. If there was a single misstep, he would be lucky if he only ended up losing everything he had worked for. He feared that he would be buried in it.
“So, you have to be responsible for this matter.” Blue Sea let out a breath, a cold chill in his eyes.
But there were some things he couldn’t be anxious about. As Blue Wave said, these two people undoubtedly had a formidable background.
Before determining their status and before he had enough assurance, he should try to avoid conflict with them.
There were infinite possibilities in the future…moreover, he wasn’t the only one who wished to tear Qin Yu to shreds right now.
…
When the carriage drove out of the City Lord Mansion, there was no need for Cloud Billow to say anything before the demons from Bluetile Courtyard already issued a distress signal.
Over a dozen demons surrounded and protected the carriage, their expressions dignified and vigilant. The demon that drove the carriage cracked his whip so fast that it nearly produced afterimages. Without caring for any possible injuries that the demon beasts might sustain, they pushed them to explode with their fastest speed.
The group rumbled forward.
Inside the carriage, Qin Yu opened his eyes. “There won’t be a problem for now, but it’s best if you figure out some way to settle the hidden danger in your body, otherwise it will be a major problem for you eventually.”
Cloud Billow looked at him, her eyes bright, “You knew.”
Qin Yu furrowed his eyebrows. This wasn’t a suspicious or question – it was a plain and straightforward statement, as if she were talking about something ordinary and well-known.
Sure enough, just because she had a big chest didn’t mean she was brainless. She had already noticed it.
In fact, she had already guessed this even before Qin Yu helped her at the City Lord Mansion. After all, when they were at Nine Nether Pagoda together, Qin Yu had helped her suppress her rioting demonic energy.
Even if he didn’t know before, after this experience he would discover that the demonic energy within their bodies was the exact same.
Qin Yu looked at her and nodded. Since he couldn’t hide from it, his best choice was to directly acknowledge it.
Otherwise it was likely that a needless gap and suspicion would form between the two of them.
“I only discovered this matter when I helped you suppress the strength in your body…” Qin Yu took a deep breath and asked, “Then what should I call you?”
She knew that Qin Yu knew and yet she wasn’t angry. This boded well.
Qin Yu asked for her name in order to go from a passive role to an active role. He also hoped to ease any inner turmoil she might be feeling.
The two of them were in the same carriage and less than a meter apart. They could hear each other breathe and from the outside it appeared that they had a close relationship.
But Qin Yu knew that he stood at the cusp of the volcano. If he couldn’t comfort Cloud Billow and deal with this matter appropriately, he would usher in a frantic attack from the old King’s lineage.
That old freak Cloud Boundless might hesitate in killing him, but he definitely wouldn’t waver in capturing him and turning him into a breeding machine.
As far as how Qin Yu understood Cloud Boundless, there was a high possibility of this occurring…thinking of this, his eyes twitched and he drew in a deep breath to steady himself.
Don’t panic, things haven’t devolved that far yet…moreover, if I can deal with this matter correctly, it may even help me…
But the premise was that he first managed to convince Cloud Billow. Only when she coordinated with him could they block Cloud Boundless from doing something.
“Cloud Mist,” Cloud Mist slowly said. “Where wind and mountains meet. In the abyss it means nobility and freedom. My background has given me a sufficiently noble identity, but at the same time it restrains me and restricts the freedom I should have.
“That is my name.”
Qin Yu’s heart skipped a beat. This response…didn’t seem right. For some reason, he felt as if some kind of ultimatum was coming.
“I am Qin Yu. That is my real name. So today, we can be considered as truly meeting each other.”
Cloud Mist nodded. “Since we know each other, I will go straight to the point. You have two choices in front of you. Marry me or be killed by the Clan Elder.”
She paused and then looked straight into his eyes. “Qin Yu, marrying me is your best choice. As long as we can breed a perfect bloodline together, then no matter what you want, the Clan Elder and even the entire old King’s lineage will do their utmost to help you.”
Qin Yu rubbed his eyebrows. As he thought, she laid all her cards on the table. She went straight to the final question without concealing anything.
A woman tried to secretly sell herself once, and after completely opening up, she tried to sell herself a second time…
If he refused, would she become angry? Please wait, this was making him worried!
Although he didn’t have a definitive answer, Qin Yu felt as if it was best for him not to take that risk. He coughed and said, “I am curious. Why are you sure that you and I can produce a perfect bloodline? Is it because of the…attraction…between us?”
This was an appropriate description. He couldn’t say that the two of them immediately wanted to dive into bed every time they met.
Cloud Mist’s face flushed red but she remained calm. At this time, she exposed her powerful psychological state. “That’s right. When I invited you to the banquet at Bluetile Courtyard, after the bloodline test for the juniors, you left behind a fingerprint.”
Qin Yu clenched his jaws. That old snake Cloud Boundless really had plotted against him.
But it didn’t matter how bitter he felt about this. Since they had verified this, there was no chance for him to avoid it.
If he misspoke at this point, Cloud Mist might flip the table on him.
Should he…first agree and then find a solution afterwards?
Qin Yu’s thoughts raced. But at this moment his complexion changed and he reached out to grab Cloud Mist. “Things haven’t ended yet!”
It seemed that the other party had already made preparations. Even though the plot at the City Lord Mansion had failed, there was a backup plan.
That’s right. Since they had made their move, right now was the best opportunity to finish things.
Cloud Boundless still hadn’t arrived. He was definitely being held back by something.
Tsk tsk, that old snake had already experienced the assassination attempt at Nine Nether Pagoda, yet he was still being held back again.
There was no way he was a fool. In other words, this other party had made full preparations.
It seemed that wanting to withdraw alive today wouldn’t be as simple as he thought.
As Qin Yu felt dread and wariness, he also felt some helplessness. He hadn’t even been able to reach an agreement with the old King’s lineage yet he had to fight to the death for them.
And most importantly, even if he risked his life, if he didn’t handle things well afterwards, there was a chance he could turn around and be smashed into the ground anyways.
This was simply…pitiful to the extreme!
Whatever, don’t be affected by such messy thoughts. First he would break his way out before thinking about it again.
When Qin Yu raised a hand and looked out the window, the demons that surrounded and protected the carriage had also discovered something wrong.
At some unknown time, a fog appeared in the air, turning the surrounding space blurry.
The sense of distance seemed to stretch away, as if an invisible barrier had isolated them.
“On guard!” With a shout, several demons raised their hands and violently blasted out demonic energy.
The fog violently tumbled and rolled. But as if something was activated, it suddenly became thick and strong.
With the carriage at the center, the surrounding 1000 feet had been turned into a cage by this fog.
“Dominion!” The carriage driver roared out loud, fear on his face. “Hurry and break through the Dominion, otherwise we will be sealed in here!”
A Dominion was a spatial talent ability that only formidable demons could awaken.
With powerful demonic energy as the foundation, distorted space formed a small world that was sealed off from the outside world.
Of course, this was just a rough idea. To be more exact, it duplicated a region of space.
Within the space of the Dominion, the one who created it would be strengthened.
The way to break through it was to slay the person who created the Dominion or forcibly shatter it.
Someone who could arrange a Dominion and easily drag them inside was absolutely incomparably terrifying. They had to be at least at the Demon Commander level, and the most tyrannical one at that.
To kill such a character inside a Dominion they created…hoho, it was best not to dream of such things.
