Refining the Mountains and Rivers Chapter 1588

Chapter 1314: Six Six, Thirty-six

It was the twenty-fifth victim.

Qin Yu looked down at the corpse before him and turned to leave. A cold sneer was on his face and he muttered, “Black Turtle must be thinking I am stupid.”

Stone Pagoda’s voice rang in his head, “How would an ignorant prey be aware of its predator? Master, your wonderful plan cannot be understood by them.”

“Stone Pagoda, you have changed. You never used to suck up to me.” Qin Yu remarked.

Stone Pagoda fell silent, “The one who likes to suck up is gone. I was worried that you might not be used to the absence so I did that.”

Qin Yu stepped forward and his entire appearance changed into that of another Sea Clan member in the blink of an eye.

“The Shadow of the Abyss has faced a problem but I believe that we will meet again. Just take care of yourself and don’t try to be too capable.”

“Yes, Master.” Stone Pagoda answered, “You killed the twenty-fifth person but you need to kill eleven more. However, most of the descendants of Black Turtle are all gathered outside of his palace. Are we still going to go there?”

Qin Yu shook his head, “No need. If I am not wrong, these people will be chased back soon. We just need to wait.”

He raised his head and looked at the beautiful palace made of Red Fire Stones. A flash crossed his eyes, “I am anticipating when Thousand Saint will show himself. With how cautious Black Turtle is, he will ask Thousand Saint to go out and survey the surroundings. I believe Thousand Saint wants to confirm that I am still in the Red Peak Straits too.”

Stone Pagoda added, “Everything is in Master’s hands.”

“You are doing it again. Your skills in sucking up are not as good as Shadow of the Abyss’.” Qin Yu looked at his own shadow. He truly wanted to know what happened to Black Turtle.

Was it a consequence of the Abyss’ will?

If that was the case, the poor guy must have been schemed against. How pitiful.

It seemed…the will of the Abyss used up a Great Divider to enter the Vast Brightness World. There must be more to it than met the eye.

Qin Yu thought about Feature. This woman’s identity was still a mystery. Why did she enter the Abyss?

Eventually, he shook his head and threw these thoughts aside. He felt like everyone would meet again in the future. He would wait till then to see what happened.

Six six, thirty-six…this was a roll of the tongue but there was another rule associated with this number.

There were eleven more to go. To get the best outcome, he could not miss out on any.

He needed to hurry. There were still a number of things to do.

……

Outside the palace, the group of descendants cried as they begged Old Ancestor for protection. After they heard the orders, they were disappointed and returned home. So many people have been killed, Old Ancestor, your words are so unconvincing!

It is obvious that you don’t care. In worse terms, chasing these people away meant sending them to their death!

Why? Why are you doing this? Old Ancestor, look carefully, we are your bloodline!

They cried internally and there was dissatisfaction in their eyes. However, this was no use in influencing the situation.

Old Ancestor’s orders were like a will that they could not disobey!

“Old Ancestor has abandoned us, we cannot give in like that!”

“Yes, we need to ally together. The murderer might not dare to come!”

“If this is the case, let’s gather all the strong cultivators!”

“It is not so easy to kill us!”

Each descendant cried in agitation.

Qin Yu stood among the crowd of descendants who cried like trapped beasts. He observed them for a while then slowly left.

He turned and looked at the palace. Although he had guessed Black Turtle’s next move, he could not help sighing at how cold-hearted Black Turtle was.

Sighing was one thing, he still needed eleven heads, and Qin Yu would not be soft-hearted.

Furthermore, these descendants of Black Turtle gathering together was a good thing. He did not need to seek them out individually.

On the other hand, a flash crossed Qin Yu’s eyes. If Thousand Saint wanted to come, this was the last chance.

……

The Dragon Saint was confused.

Through his conversation with Qin Yu, he knew that something had gone wrong in the Red Peak Straits.

If this was before, he would be elated and would voluntarily seek out Qin Yu to help him get rid of that pesky turtle.

However, this matter involved the World of Darkness and the Dragon Saint had to change his mind.

Nonsense, that was the World of Darkness. Who knew how many secrets were in there. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was too deep to understand.

It was necessary to observe the situation. The Dragon Saint instructed Black Scale to activate the secret force within the Red Peak Straits to disseminate information to the outside world.

Although this was dangerous and it might expose his secret men in the Red Peak Straits, Dragon Saint did not care about this anymore. He needed to know what Qin Yu was doing.

The news came.

Qin Yu was killing!

This was expected. After all, Qin Yu knew about the World of Darkness and if he didn’t kill the people involved, he must have another plan. However, the people Qin Yu killed were useless.

Granted, the descendants of Black Turtle were strong and they were all high level people in the Red Peak Straits. The killing of them would result in havoc in the Red Peak Straits.

But this had no effect on Black Turtle at all.

After so many years, they had exchanged fists many times and the Dragon Saint knew Black Turtle quite well.

He would never care about his bloodline. No matter how many Qin Yu killed, he would not care.

Trying to force Black Turtle to let go of the siblings through this method…hehe this method was too simplistic, he was so dumb!

Qin Yu did not seem like a dumb person. Did he have another motive in killing these men?

The latest news informed him that the descendants of Black Turtle were grouping together to protect themselves. A brilliant flash crossed the Dragon Saint’s eyes. Qin Yu would either take his hands off the matter or he would conduct a massacre.

The first option was still alright. The second one…Qin Yu would reveal himself then and Black Turtle and Thousand Saint were hunters waiting for their prey.

What would he do?

……

Qin Yu chose to continue killing.

The Rule System Body had a spectacular disguising ability. However, it was still hard to slip through a Saint’s senses.

But with the energy from the innate spirit, everything was completed and Qin Yu could easily disguise himself as another.

As such, the descendants gathering together was useless and they only made it more dangerous for themselves.

With so many people, it was a piece of cake for Qin Yu to infiltrate the crowd. The question was: who was he going to start with?

His eyes swept across the large hall. There were a few dozen descendants of Black Turtle gathered and he would easily hit his target.

“Who in the world is the murderer? Since he is enemies with Old Ancestor, why is he killing us descendants?” A descendant of Black Turtle asked angrily. His face was pale from fear.

“Don’t talk about it. It is related to Cang Zhu and Cang Hua. We always knew they were unlucky. Trouble would come with them!”

“I want to know how the murderer kills. Our deceased brothers and sisters, Seventh and Twelfth, would not be easy targets. How could they be assassinated without a sound?”

“I heard it is a direct cut and it happens very quickly. The slave from Seventh said that the culprit killed Seventh immediately after opening the door. there was no chance for resistance.”

“How can that be? Seventh was not too far from being a Saint; even if it was a Saint, Seventh could have withstood at least two blows right? Was he poisoned beforehand?”

The moment he said this, someone patted his shoulder and answered, “Nope. He wasn’t poisoned but he was killed directly.”

Suddenly, a sharp sound tore the air and brain juices splattered all across the hall. Dead silence ensued.

Qin Yu lightly commented, “See? This is how he was killed.”

“The murderer is here!”

“Kill him!”

“Hurry!”

Screams filled the palace as the descendants ran for their lives.

Qin Yu straightened his clothes. He stretched an arm out and a Sea Clan cultivator in front was smashed to death.

He continued to grab the air, pulling and compressing the space and dragging two other descendants into the black hole.

Bam!

Kaboom!

Blood and flesh splattered out like fireworks.

Three victims so far.

His killing method was very effective.

Right at that point, Qin Yu’s eyes sparkled and he stomped down.

Bam!

A terrifying force swept out like a large wave in all directions. Darkness rolled through the hall and turned into dark mist, sealing the palace within.

However, Qin Yu’s stomp had forced this darkness away and there was no mist where he was at.

“Thousand Saint. I am settling a score with Black Turtle. Are you sure you want to interfere?”

Pretending to be ignorant could only be done with skill. For instance, Qin Yu knew everything and was forming his plan to kill the other. Yet, he still put on an act in front of Thousand Saint and pretended he did not know anything.

This was very testing on his abilities.

Qin Yu’s acting was perfect and nothing was wrong.

He frowned slightly and made sure to show hints of worry and fear in his eyes. Thousand Saint noted his expression.

Through the darkness, his calm voice came, “Mister Ninth, Black Turtle is on good terms with the World of Darkness. May I request you to take your hands off of everything in the Red Peak Straits? As long as you are willing to back off, everything that happened previously will be forgotten by the World of Darkness.”

Such standards, he was the king of acting!

If he did not personally hear Thousand Saint calling the other Darkness True Saints to come to the Red Peak Straits to kill him, Qin Yu might have believed him.

This voice and tone, as well as the sincerity in his voice seemed almost perfect.

There was always someone better than you. For acting, one had to be humble and continuously learn.

Qin Yu’s frown grew deeper and a conflicted look crossed his eyes. He tried one last time. “I am not willing to be enemies with the World of Darkness but Cang Zhu is my woman and I must save her. If the World of Darkness is willing to withdraw from this matter, I will be very grateful.”

Thousand Saint sighed lightly, “If that is the case, the World of Darkness can only be enemies with you.”
