Refining the Mountains and Rivers Chapter 1582

Chapter 1308: Replacement

This voice…

Cang Zhu’s eyes bulged wide open and she stared at the person before her. He was definitely Eight Eyes; his appearance and aura matched Eight Eyes perfectly.

“I have to be careful and maintain this appearance for now…after leaving me at the altar in the Lost Garden, did you find Tan Hai? Otherwise, it would be troublesome to get him.”

Qin Yu smiled and gestured, “I can’t remember properly but I probably threw him into the crack in the earth back then.”

Cang Zhu continued to stare blankly at him.

Qin Yu rubbed his forehead, “You don’t believe it. Then I will say a few things to make you embarrassed. When Tan Hai was affected by demon energy, he made improper moves on you…”

“You shut it!” Tears fell from her eyes and she raised her arm to rub them away. “Didn’t I tell you not to come? Hurry and leave. If you are discovered, they will kill you!”

She waved her hand urgently, “Leave, hurry. You must go immediately!”

Qin Yu could feel her sincerity and he sat down on the floor and smiled, “You must have been locked in from the moment you arrived in the East Sea. You must not have heard news from the outside world right?”

He pointed to himself, “I, Qin Yu, was just joking with the Dragon Saint in the Dragon Palace of the East Sea about giving him grandchildren. He even has to call me Mister Ninth. Do you understand what I am saying?”

Cang Zhu bit her lips, “I don’t believe it!”

Qin Yu snapped his fingers, “It is fine if you don’t believe it. You will see it for yourself next time. Let’s not waste any more time and find a way to leave.”

He pressed his fingers together, “I am not crazy and I am not joking. Isn’t it good that I am alive? I will not seek my own death. Even if we are discovered today, it will just be another casual battle. I can ensure my life easily, but the problem would be the two of you.”

Qin Yu looked at the young man behind. He wore a face of disbelief and he stared wide-eyed at Qin Yu. Qin Yu smiled, “Remember, you will live this time because of your good sister. Treat her well in future.”

Cang Zhu finally relaxed. Still with a pale face she said, “We can’t leave. We are merged with the darkness and we are destined to be the replacement body for the Old Ancestor.

“Qin Yu, you idiot, you are too late. Don’t think that I will be touched. You should leave quickly and not bring trouble for yourself.”

Cang Zhu did not believe a word he said about the Dragon Saint calling him Mister Ninth. She had seen Qin Yu’s strength for herself back then. Although he was strong, he was far from being able to match up to a True Saint. Furthermore, there was another strong individual aside from the Old Ancestor in the Red Peak Straits today.

This brat. After a while of not seeing him, his ability to brag had gotten way better. After some hesitation, Cang Zhu said, “If you feel like you owe me, find a way to save Tan Hai. In the end, I dragged him into this. Save him and you won’t owe me anything further.”

Helplessness filled Qin Yu’s face, “You don’t believe me…I guess I did not expect myself to become this powerful either.”

He lifted a hand and stopped Cang Zhu from continuing to speak, “Keep quiet. Let me see what this replacement thing you speak of is.”

Cang Zhu sighed deeply as Qin Yu put his finger to his lips, “If you speak, you will cause the darkness to shift. If I am discovered, that will be your fault.”

He glared at her and Cang Zhu closed her eyes. The deep emotions in her eyes were also hidden.

Qin Yu had come to the East Sea, he really did come when she was in her most fearful state…however, she was not lying; the ceremony had already begun.

Cang Zhu did not blame Qin Yu for coming late. This was her and her brother’s destiny.

There was silence in the darkness. Qin Yu observed as a pair of eyes turned black, merging into the darkness from the world outside.

Slowly, the dark night started to change. Numerous streaks extended and a portion of them entered the siblings’ bodies. The other portion went through the darkness and disappeared.

Qin Yu hesitated and did not continue investigating. His intuition told him that if he continued further, he would be discovered. However, he heard about the replacement from Cang Zhu and he could make a few guesses.

“Cang Zhu, let me know…”

He suddenly stopped and looked behind sharply. His eyes twinkled.

A nervous look crossed Cang Zhu’s face, “What is it?”

Qin Yu smirked, “I have been discovered. It seems that your Old Ancestor’s situation is urgent. The security here is so tight.”

Cang Zhu shrieked, “Run, you have to run!”

“No hurry.” Qin Yu reached out and patted her shoulder, “Reply to my question. The more you delay, the more danger I will be in.”

“Idiot!” Cang Zhu scolded, “Old Ancestor’s life is coming to an end. He wants to continue living and hence, he made a deal with a dark force to change the life of darkness. However, this goes against the rules of the Vast Brightness World. Furthermore, Old Ancestor’s cultivation did not allow for this…”

“So your Old Ancestor wants a replacement body. He will divert the powers into your body and the Vast Brightness Rules will kill your consciousness. He can then take his powers back and be reborn.” Qin Yu finished the story. He did not need to ask any further questions. Cang Zhu’s surprised expression told him that his guess was right.

Black Turtle’s plan was not bad and he had even found the perfect medium, the siblings, to form his replacement body. This was not an easy task.

From another angle, Black Turtle must have gone through many tests before he finally found Cang Zhu and her brother… This must mean that the siblings were test subjects from the moment they were born and they were destined to be objects to throw away.

Their births were a scheme and their destiny was to be destroyed. What a sad plight. Qin Yu suddenly felt immense pity for the siblings. Before he even met Black Turtle, he already had a horrid impression of him.

There was no need to say soothing words. Firstly, there was no time. Qin Yu did not want to engage in battle so quickly. Secondly, since Cang Zhu wanted to run away initially, she must have known everything. She had already been hurt and there was no point in comforting her now as it would just open her wounds.

As such, Qin Yu nodded, “I understand. Bear with it for a while more. I don’t think things are completely bleak. Trust me, Cang Zhu, don’t give up until the last moment. The more you guys hang in there, the higher the chances you will live.

“I have to go. Remember what I said.” Qin Yu rose and moved backwards. His figure entered the darkness and dead silence returned once the door was closed.

“Sis…” The dumbfounded young man of the Sea Clan who had been dumbfounded from the beginning till now finally spoke, “Is this my brother-in-law?”

Cang Zhu’s heart jumped and she felt flabbergasted by the term he used. Her face turned red and she chided, “Shut up. What nonsense are you talking about?”

Cang Hua’s face was doubtful, “Your face always turns red when you are flustered. You will never be able to look straight into another person’s eyes…that is exactly how you are acting now. Sister, is brother-in-law strong? We were trapped here by Old Ancestor but he actually managed to find us.”

Her heart clenched when she saw the sparkle in her brother’s eyes. She could no longer scold him. She turned serious, “He is a very strong person but he isn’t your brother-in-law. Cang Hua, Qin Yu came here at the risk of his own life but he might not be able to save us…I know you are scared and these words are cruel. But if you have hope and it is extinguished, I am afraid that you won’t be able to handle it. So don’t think too much, okay?”

Cang Hua’s eyes darkened but he smiled, “I am not afraid as long as I am with you! Aren’t we going to die? People die eventually.”

Cang Hua pulled him into her arms and rubbed his head fondly, “Be good.” She looked in the direction of the exit. Has Qin Yu been discovered? Hopefully he could escape. Please don’t be caught by Old Ancestor.

Even though she knew that she should not harbor hope, she thought of Qin Yu’s words and could not help licking her lips.

Perhaps, there was hope…

“My lord, please come…” The guard waiting outside the prison smiled and came in. The next instant, he froze and a terrifying force filled him.

Qin Yu stepped out and he quickly changed into the appearance of the guard. With that, he put on a surprised expression and he suddenly dropped to the floor.

A cold voice rang through the darkness, “Who just entered the prison? Speak!”

Qin Yu nervously answered, “Eight Eyes. It is Lord Eight Eyes!”

“Humph!”

The shout in the darkness grew further away.

Qin Yu looked up and his face filled with fear as he turned and left.

Outside the prison, it was a complete mess. Numerous members of the Sea Clan blocked the exit.

A general lifted his hand and stopped him, “Stop there. Who are you?”

Fear filled Qin Yu’s face and he waved his hands frantically, “Spare me, spare me Lord. I am a guard in the prison. I don’t know anything!”

A few guards hurriedly nodded, “Yes, that’s right. He is our man. He was the one who accompanied Lord Eight Eyes in.”

“Humph! Everyone is suspicious now. Before everything comes to light, take this man away. We will interrogate him!”

“Yes!”

Some burly Sea Clan members stepped up and bound Qin Yu, sealing off his powers.

Upon seeing this, the few other guards gulped and they remained silent.

They knew that if something had gone wrong in the prison, their fellow guard would be crippled and they would not be able to escape punishment either. As such, they would mind their own businesses. Who would be willing to risk their lives for others?

“How unfortunate that something happened in the prison. You better pray that nothing major went wrong or you are dead!”

Outside the prison, the man threw Qin Yu violently to the ground. The biggest Sea Clan member laughed madly.

However, what shocked him was that the shivering body on the ground suddenly grew calm. Qin Yu lifted his head and looked him in the eye. He sneered, “Is that so?”

A few moments later, the Sea Clan member pushed open the door. His aura flowed through the crowd and he disappeared.
