    B6C6: Uncle Lan, a real expert

    In the Silver Claw Cave, one of the 8 caves under the Nine Demons Hall,

    At the moment the Silver Claw Cave is putting on a grand show. Various kinds of delicacies and fine wines have been prepared properly. Beautiful girls are also performing dances in the main hall. The 3 brothers, Di Jian, Di Qing and Di Luan, are sitting high in the main hall enjoying the singing and dancing.

    It is really too far from the Nine Demons Hall to the Blood-red Cave so these 3 experts cannot be on the move all the time. After rushing every one month or two, they will stop at a cave for a rest.

    My 3 majesties, You Qian would like to drink a toast to you! A silvery-armored woman raises her cup and says.

    The Silver Claw Caves master, You Qian, is a woman, who has also reached the early Dongxu stage. There is an air of heroism and valor about her, which makes her different from the Blood-red Caves Yan Qing and Xi Yan, who are seductive. Her manner is very swift and fierce, giving a feeling of ruthlessness.

    Perhaps it was only because of this ruthlessness that You Qian was able to become the ruler of the Silver Claw Caves 9 million li radius territory.

    Qianer, theres no need to stand on ceremony too much. Di Qing says smilingly. He, Di Jian and Di Luan still raise their cups and drink with her. Even though Di Qing is being very nice to her, he will kill her with absolutely no hesitation if necessary.

    To Xiuzhenists, sex appeal is definitely not a determinant of their behavior.

    After 3 rounds, Di Jian and his brothers feel very good. They keep drinking while enjoying the singing and dancing. Suddenly Di Qing frowns. A transmitter appears in his right hand. As soon as he makes a sweep with his holy sense, his face changes color.

    Both Di Jian and Di Luan look at him.

    What happened, 2nd brother? Di Luan hurriedly asks. Seeing that Di Qings face has changed color, he knows that something serious has happened.

    Below them, seeing the expressions of the 3 majesties, You Qian immediately makes a wave of her hand to the dancers. They stop dancing at once and go to one side of the main hall. You Qian says nothing either so that she will not disturb the 3 majesties.

    Di Qing first waves his hands, setting up a restrictive spell around the 3 of them. He does not want to let You Qian and the others know about their business. He then says with a sigh: 7th brother, your prediction is pretty good. That old turtle Qing Xuan has died indeed.

    Di Luans and Di Jians faces change color.

    2nd brother, then that fella called Liu Xing or something is highly suspicious. Maybe hes 8th brothers killer. Di Luans eyes glitter with coldness. During this period of time, they have always been pondering who the killer really is.

    Di Jian suddenly stands up: Lets go immediately. Were going to capture that Liu Xing fella directly. It doesnt matter if hes not the killer, lets capture him first.

    Wait a bit. I havent finished saying. Di Qing says indifferently.

    Di Jian and Di Luan look at him again.

    Could there be something else, 2nd brother? Di Luan asks doubtfully.

    Di Qing says with a nod: The message sent by the Great Shell Caves master says that Liu Xing needed just one move to kill Qing Xuan. Using only one move to kill an early Dongxu stage expert, his power is simply very frightening!

    One move!

    Di Luan is astonished.

    This time, among the 3 of them, Di Jian is at the late Dongxu stage, Di Qing is at the middle Dongxu stage and Di Luan, the weakest, is only at the early Dongxu stage. Even among the Nine Demons Halls 9 majesties, Di Luan also ranks last in power.

    He killed an early Dongxu stage expert in one move. Thats how powerful he is. Di Luan frowns. It looks like hes strong enough to kill 8th brother.

    Di Jians face is expressionless but killing intent is surging in his eyes: It doesnt matter how powerful he is, if hes 8th brothers killer, he definitely wont escape from the palm of my hand. He totally looks like a ferocious god at the moment.

    Di Qing slowly shakes his head and says: That Liu Xing fella was able to kill Qing Xuan not thanks to his powerful energy but thanks to his frightening speed!

    Speed? Both Di Jian and Di Luan become doubtful.

    Di Qing says with a nod: Thats right, his speed. According to the message, Liu Xings speed is really frightening. The Great Shell Caves master guesses that he relied on his speed to close in on Qing Xuan instantly, making it impossible for Qing Xuan to figure out his travelling path, and in the end penetrated Qing Xuans throat with a sword.

    Being able to kill an early Dongxu stage expert in one move, his speed is very fast. No wonder his name is Liu Xing. Di Jian praises.

    Di Qing says with a nod: Now it looks like that cave master Liu Xing is very likely the killer. Hes the prime suspect.

    Di Luan however slightly shakes his head, saying: 2nd brother, now we mustnt make subjective judgments. If you were the killer of 8th brother and Cha Hong and got one of the 9 Swords, what would you do? Could you display your power openly and become the new cave master?

    Di Qing is startled.

    After a while, he says in self-derision: 7th brother, Im indeed not as smart as you. Youre right, if I got 1 of the 9 Swords, Id definitely hide in a place that nobody knows about and train hard. When Im strong enough to rival experts like Azure Dragon, Id bring the jade sword out and go with them to open the 9 Swords Immortal Mansion.

    Exactly, is the Blood-red Cave really important compared to the 9 Swords Immortal Mansion? Di Luan says smilingly.

    Di Qing says with a nod: I understand what you mean. That Liu Xing fella has now become the Blood-red Caves master so openly so hes unlikely to be the killer, right?

    No. Di Luan shakes his head.

    Di Qing and Di Jian both look at him.

    Di Luan says: I dont know much about his character. What if he can guess our thinking so he intentionally didnt go into hiding and, instead, made himself visible? So, Liu Xing is still a suspect. After he said this, Di Qing and Di Jian are somewhat confused.

    7th brother, a while ago you said Liu Xing was above suspicion, now you say hes a suspect. Whats your meaning actually? Di Qing questions him closely.

    Di Luan says smilingly: 2nd brother, 6th brother, I said this to make you understand that Liu Xing is a suspect but hes not the only suspect. We mustnt totally think that hes the killer because if we do, we may miss the real killer.

    Ha-ha, I already get it, 7th brother. Liu Xing is a suspect but we cant focus our entire attention on him. We have to look at other guys too, right? Di Qing understands this point.

    Di Luan says with a nod: Thats right. We have to pay attention to all suspects and cant focus our entire attention on anyone. Any of the suspects can be 8th brothers killer. If we cant find out who killed 8th brother, then well kill them all!

    Di Luans eyes radiate coldness.

    He would rather kill 1000 suspects than miss one!

    Good, then lets go right now. We have to investigate as soon as possible. The longer we wait to begin, the harder itll be to investigate. Di Luan immediately stands up and says.

    Di Jian and Di Qing nods. They then remove the restrictive spell around them at once.

    My 3 majesties, Ive prepared very nice rooms for you. Would you like to get some rest? says You Qian smilingly.

    Di Qing says with a shake of his head: Qianer, we have to resume our journey now. After saying, he immediately flies out of the main hall with Di Jian and Di Luan. They then rush outwards extremely fast. In just a while, they disappear from You Qians field of vision.

    Only now does You Qian let out a sigh of relief.

    When those majesties of the Nine Demons Hall were here, she did not dare to be indiscreet in the least and was really very tense.

    Qiaoer, Laner, come here.

    She says to 2 dancers not far from her. Her eyes are blazing



    In the Blood-red Cave,

    Today the number of the Blood-red Caves guardians has reached 16. Originally there were even more Yuanying stage experts who asked to become guardians but because, firstly, there are only a limited number of courtyard houses in the eastern part, and secondly, if there are too many guardians, the numbers of guards distributed to each of them will be too few, the number of guardians has been fixed at 16.

    Moreover, even though those Yuanying stage experts who live in the Blood-red Ridge are not guardians, they will still listen to the Blood-red Caves orders at critical junctures.

    On the balcony of Lei Mountain Houses 2nd floor,

    This balcony is 6 to 7 m long and 3 to 4 m wide so it has a relatively large area.

    Youre still reading books, big brother? This is really boring. Today I gave those guardians a scolding in the main hall. Kaka, it was very interesting. But they actually needed scolding. They only know how to enjoy themselves and lack training!

    Hou Fei sits down on one side of Qin Yu.

    Qin Yu puts the old book he is reading down and says smilingly to Hou Fei: Fei Fei, during this period of time, the Blood-red Cave has been run completely by you. I can see that youre very excited. In the past you said youd occupy a mountain and become a boss. This means you like to manage subordinates, right? From now on, Ill give the entire Blood-red Cave to you. Xiao Hei and I wont manage it. Only find me and Xiao Hei if something important arises, okay?

    Qin Yu has largely been alone since he was a kid so he is used to solitude. As for Xiao Hei, he is aloof and proud so he does not like to manage a large number of subordinates either.

    By contrast, Hou Fei likes the feeling of being followed by a large entourage and being a boss.

    Ha-ha, very good, this is really very good. Anyway, there are 3 positions in the main hall so you 2 can come whenever you like. But Ill come every time you want to have a meeting. Hou Fei is so excited that he makes strange quacks and scratches his head.

    Qin Yu gives a smile.

    In a place like this Xiuyao world, a cave masters main role is to rely on his individual intimidation to occasionally give orders and not to manage his subordinates every day. Of course, it will be much better if the subordinates are managed every day.

    Fei Fei, this black stick of yours is made of a very strange material. What grade is it? Qin Yu asks Hou Fei.

    Hou Fei is startled. After a while, he says with a shake of his head: I dont know either. But I feel that this stick is at least not lower than top-grade holy weapons. Master gave me this black stick when I was little. Ive been carrying it with me all the time. It has also never disappointed me.

    Qin Yu nods.

    It is not strange for him to have asked so. He has seen all kinds of holy weapons, low-grade ones, middle-grade ones, high-grade ones and even top-grade ones, but he has never seen a weapon like Hou Feis black stick. Judging by appearances, it is like a normal black stick.

    But this black stick is definitely not inferior to top-grade holy weapons.

    You said Uncle Lan gave you this black stick? Qin Yu suddenly thinks about what Hou Fei just said.

    Hou Fei says with a nod: I started to follow Uncle Lan when I was little so of course all of my stuff was given to me by him. If he hadnt, then who would have given me?

    Right, do you know how powerful Uncle Lan actually is? When I was in the ravine, I felt that he was unfathomable. Youre his disciple so you should know about his power, right? He made a certain decision long ago. Now he is only collecting some additional information related to it.

    Hou Fei says with a glare: Dont doubt my masters power, big brother. Hes so strong that you simply cant imagine it. In the past I once entered berserk mode and felt that I was too strong in that state but he knocked me out with just a palm strike.

    Qin Yus heart skips a beat.

    A knockout palm strike!

    Qin Yu certainly knows well how powerful Hou Fei is. He is a divine beast so even without using berserk mode he is already extremely strong. Once he enters berserk mode, he will be terrifying. Qin Yu even thinks that, in that state, Hou Fei can be a worthy adversary for Di Long of the Nine Demons Hall.

    However, even in that state, Hou Fei was knocked unconscious by Uncle Lan with a palm strike.

    Right, after regaining consciousness, did you feel unwell in any way? Qin Yu asks again.

    Hou Fei says smilingly: No, I didnt. Master is much more powerful than me so his palm was just enough to knock me out and didnt harm me at all. Heaven knows how many times more powerful than me he really is. Hou Fei cannot help marveling.

    This is also the reason why Hou Fei never dares to complain when Uncle Lan tells him to do something.

    So strong. Qin Yu is delighted.

    When he was pondering what would happen if he killed Di Tong, he thought that in the worst-case scenario the Nine Demons Hall would want to hunt him down. Just before he got into action, he remembered Uncle Lan, a real expert who is totally unfathomable to him.

    Qin Yu felt that Uncle Lan was very strong, extraordinarily strong. At least he could not even sense a clue about Uncle Lans power.

    Therefore, he dared to kill Di Tong and to occupy the Blood-red Cave with his 2 brothers.

    If in the end the Nine Demons Hall really hunts for him, he and his brothers will fight an exciting battle against it. Given their abilities, they can certainly shake the Nine Demons Hall. Even if they suffer a defeat, they can still run to Uncle Lan and ask him to help them.

    Qin Yu is totally confident about his speed.



    2 days later,

    Qin Yu is saying goodbyes to Hei Yu and Hou Fei. According to his calculations, there are several months left before the Nine Demons Halls members arrive. But he has still decided to take a trip back to the ravine in advance. The 3 brothers therefore have to part even though they do not want to.

    Xiao Hei, these are 2 top-grade crystals. Your awl is only a high-grade holy weapon. If you think they arent enough, I still have another chunk. Before leaving, Qin Yu gives Hei Yu 2 chunks of crystal.

    One chunk is enough. Hei Yu receives a chunk and does not touch the other. Qin Yu takes back the other chunk without saying anything. There is already no need for reserve between them. On one side, Hou Fei is discontented.

    Big brother, you gave that hairy bird a top-grade crystal, but why didnt you give me one? He says resentfully.

    Your black stick is already not weaker than top-grade holy weapons. If you still want top-grade crystals then give me that black stick. Qin Yu says smilingly. Hou Fei immediately hugs his black stick then fuses it with his body.

    Alright, lets stop chatting. Im going now. You two can tell the guardians that Im doing closed-door training. Get it? Qin Yu looks smilingly at his 2 brothers.

    Hei Yu and Hou Fei nod.

    The dark blue Flaming Sword immediately appears under Qin Yus feet. His golden stellar energy then flows through his body and the sword. In an instant, his entire body turns into a golden beam of light and disappears in the distance. His speed is really frighteningly fast.

    B6C7: Psychic

    The ravine is less than a million li from the Blood-red Ridge and Qin Yu has become nearly 10 times faster than before so it takes him just one day to reach the ravine. Not even those Purple Demon aquatic dragons from the Nine Demons Hall can imagine his speed.

    Late Meteor stage experts can rely on their speed and concentrated offense to fight late Dongxu stage Xiuxianists. This means that late Meteor stage experts are at least superior to late Dongxu stage Xiuxianists in speed. Therefore, it is easy to imagine how fast Qin Yu is.

    He rushes to the entrance of the ravine. At first sight, there is only a continuous mountain range around this place. Outsiders basically will not be able to notice that there is a ravine hidden here.

    Big brother Liu Xing. No, big brother Qin Yu.

    A purple-clad girl who appears to be in her early teens rushes out through the flora at the bottom of the ocean and shouts loudly in excitement as soon as she sees Qin Yu. He turns around to take a look and cannot help bursting out laughing: Little Yan Zi, why did you go out of the ravine?

    It was boring inside so I went out for a stroll. Yan Zi opens her little mouth wide and says. The purple fish scale between her eyebrows is shining. Her purple hair, which is long enough to reach her hips, is flowing freely.

    Yan Zi suddenly says with brightening eyes: Lets go, brother Qin Yu. Go with me into the ravine. Sis Lier will definitely be very happy once she knows that youve returned. Quick, dont be sluggish. As she is saying this, she holds Qin Yus hand and pulls him while rushing at a precipice.

    Before Qin Yu and Yan Zi smash into the precipice, they disappear.

    After entering the ravine, when Qin Yu sees those familiar plants and scenes, his eyes cannot help brightening. In the past, he stayed in this ravine for 3 years. Now, having returned to the ravine, he feels as if he has broken away from the bloodshed outside and his mental tranquility has been restored.

    Ting ~~

    A sound of a zither string is heard and then the music he is familiar with rises. Qin Yu stands outside the bamboo house and closes his eyes to listen to it quietly. There is a faint smile on the corners of his mouth all along. When he is listening to the music, time seems to pass very quickly.

    When the music stops, Qin Yu opens his eyes.

    Only now does he notice that Yan Zi has already gone into the bamboo house. After a while, some Xiuyaoists gather. All of them live in the ravine. They and Qin Yu are also very familiar with each other. Every one of them greets him.

    Big brother Liu Xing! Oh, right, its big brother Qin Yu. The fat Xiuyaoist with a black turtles shell on his back shouts in excitement.

    Qin Yu says with a smile when he sees him: So its you, Fatty. There are also Thinny and Silver Shell here. Fei Fei hasnt been here for a while so, without anyone beating you, your time must have passed very comfortably, right? He looks smilingly at the Xiuyaoists before him.

    The fat Xiuyaoist with the black turtle shell shakes his head a couple of times and says complacently: Of course its been comfortable. Now I can sleep for 3 days and nights without being disturbed by anyone. When Ive got nothing to do, I can play chess with Thinny and the others. The game of Go Uncle Lan taught us is really interesting.

    Its just that he frowns, sometimes I still rather miss boss Hou.

    Silver Shell, who is carrying 2 daggers, is pondering. It seems he rather misses Hou Fei too.

    Oh my, you really havent got beaten enough. Qin Yu jokes. All right, you guys keep playing. Ive still got something to discuss with Uncle Lan. He says goodbyes to these few Xiuyaoists then goes straight into the bamboo house.

    After entering the house, he sees at a glance that Uncle Lan is quietly enjoying tea in the courtyard.

    Come here, Qin Yu. He slightly raises his head and says smilingly.

    Qin Yu nods and walks up to Uncle Lan just like when he was in this bamboo house before. After Qin Yu sits down, Uncle Lan turns his hand over and a teacup appears. He fills it for Qin Yu, who sniffs the scent of the tea carefully.

    Uncle Lan, this is your Hundred-Leafed tea, right? When he was here before, he already drank this Hundred-Leafed tea a good few times.

    Looks like you still remember. Uncle Lan says smilingly. All right, Qin Yu, say, why have you come to find your Uncle Lan? Dont tell me that youve come to drink tea with me. I think if you say youve come to see Lier, thats still somewhat believable. He jokes.

    After Liers name was mentioned, Qin Yu turns his head and looks at her room. He cannot help concentrating his energy in his ears to listen to the conversation between Miss Lier and Yan Zi in the room.

    Yan Zi, what flower is this? Where did you get it? Its very beautiful. Why didnt I see it when I went out? Miss Liers voice rises.

    He-he, theres an island not far from here on the ocean surface. I went up there to pluck it. Therere still many flowers there, but this kind of flower only lives on land and cant grow in the ocean. I had to put it in my storage bracelet to bring it down here.

    What are you listening, brat? Uncle Lans voice suddenly rises in his ears.

    Ah. Qin Yu wakes up with a start and looks at Uncle Lan, who seems to be smiling without smiling. This, ah, right, Uncle Lan, just now you asked why Id come back here, didnt you? Ive returned because of an important matter indeed and I need your help with it.

    Uncle Lan says with dissatisfaction: Dont change the subject.

    Qin Yu can only smile and act the fool.

    I can guess what you want me to do. You courted trouble outside and the enemies are too strong for you to be confident of handling them so you want me to help you, right? Uncle Lan looks at Qin Yu and says smilingly.

    Qin Yu suddenly feels that the look Uncle Lan is giving him seems to be able to see through his mind.

    Expert! Hes really an expert. Qin Yu marvels inwardly.

    There is no point in lying so he says sincerely: I asked for trouble by killing a Purple Demon aquatic dragon. But theres no danger for the moment because the enemies still dont know that Im the killer. Ive come to ask for your help just in case they find out the truth. You also know Fei Feis temper. If a real fight happens, he wont be able to restrain himself. You dont want to see Fei Fei and me get beaten to death by our enemies, do you?

    Killing a Purple Demon aquatic dragon? No, this is not the source of trouble. Uncle Lans sagacious eyes stare at Qin Yu: The source of your troubles is that jade sword. But it can also be a blessing to you.

    Qin Yu is dumbfounded.

    Uncle Lan, you

    He is stupefied. Could it be Uncle Lan is psychic? He has only told Xiao Hei and Hou Fei that he obtained that jade sword. Moreover, neither of them has told Uncle Lan about it, so how was Uncle Lan able to know about it? This is really a bit too frightening.

    You think you can fool me with so little cunning? That jade sword is troublesome, but youre qualified to have it. Uncle Lan says after pondering for a while.

    Qin Yu listens to him carefully.

    The more he communicates with Uncle Lan, the more he finds Uncle Lan unfathomable. At the same time, he feels that Uncle Lan treats him really very well. He also believes that everything Uncle Lan says and does is for the benefit of him.

    Mister Liu Xing, oh, Mister Qin Yu, you have returned? Miss Lier walks out from her room. She is clad in blue and her long hair is tied up with just a hairband. Yan Zi is beside her. Obviously Miss Lier is very happy upon seeing Qin Yu.

    They have been apart for a long time so when Qin Yu sees her again, his eyes brighten. He says immediately: Miss Lier, Ive returned this time because I got some matters to discuss with Uncle Lan.

    As Uncle Lan sees Qin Yus current expression, his facial expression changes several times. His eyes also slightly redden. Now Miss Lier also notices the changes in his expression. Despite being a calm and natural person, she becomes anxious and hurriedly says: Is something the matter, Uncle Lan?

    Unlike outsiders, she knows what happened to him before.

    Qin Yu also looks at Uncle Lan in amazement. During his 3-year stay in this bamboo house before, Uncle Lan once had this expression in a talk between them too. In those 3 years, he only saw it once.

    Qin Yu, Ill give you an advice. After regaining his composure, Uncle Lan says coolly to Qin Yu.

    Qin Yu looks at him.

    Uncle Lan says firmly while looking at Qin Yu: You have to be true to your feelings no matter what happens later. To survive in this world, youll have to restrain yourself on many occasions, but if you restrain yourself too much, something that makes you feel regretful for the rest of your life can happen. Remember sometimes, you have to be true to yourself even if youll die from this.

    Uncle Lan. Miss Lier looks at him and exclaims.

    Uncle Lan says with a wave of his hand: Lier, you and Qin Yu can keep chatting. Theres no need to care about me. After saying this, he reaches out a hand. A stone immediately flies into his hand. It then radiates many purple rays of light, blue rays of light and green rays of light.

    In a moment, the stone is turned into a transmitter.

    Qin Yu, I know why youve come to find me this time. If youre in danger, just send a message into this transmitter with your holy sense and Ill know immediately. Uncle Lan tosses Qin Yu the transmitter that he has just forged instantly.

    Qin Yu feels very doubtful.

    If it is about messaging each other then why can he not use his own transmitter to send messages to Uncle Lans? Why did Uncle Lan specifically create a transmitter for him and say that he, Uncle Lan, will know as soon as he sends a message into it with his holy sense?

    When he receives this transmitter, he feels that it is special and different from anything he has seen, that is, it does not give off any energy.

    Uncle Lan. Qin Yu raises his head, but he discovers that Uncle Lan has already left the courtyard and gone back to his room.

    Miss Lier looks solemnly at Qin Yu, saying: Qin Yu, since Uncle Lan already gave you even this, you must remember his advice just now. Dont forget it. Afterwards, she lets out a sigh. No one knows what she is thinking about.

    Qin Yu is very doubtful in his heart.

    But he still commits that advice to memory.

    You just called me Qin Yu, Miss Lier. Its really rare for you to do this. You seem to have always called me Mister Liu Xing or Mister Qin Yu before. Qin Yu says smilingly.

    Lier shakes her head and says with a smile: Qin Yu, actually Ive always felt that theres a lack of mutual understanding between the other Xiuzhenists and myself. It seems we dont belong to the same world. So, Ive mostly stayed at a respectful distance from them. All right, from now on dont call me Miss Lier anymore. Its okay to just call me Lier.

    Qin Yus heart trembles.

    What Lier said means that she no longer notices any barriers between them, does it not?

    Lier, Ive called you so, are you happy? Qin Yu does not reveal what he is thinking one bit.

    Miss Lier gives a smile then looks at Uncle Lans room: Qin Yu, do you know that in my clan, Uncle Lan is absolutely one who overflows with genius? His power has reached Oh, why am I talking with you about this? Right, are you going to leave immediately after discussing your matters with him?

    Theres no hurry. Im going to stay here for several months. Qin Yu has calculated carefully that even if the Nine Demons Halls members set off as soon as Di Tong died, perhaps they would need a year to arrive at the Blood-red Cave.

    Miss Lier is slightly happy to hear this.

    Qin Yu, Im leaving first. See you later.

    Qin Yu nods and smilingly watches her go back to her room. He feels that the changes in Uncle Lan just now have caused Miss Lier to change her attitude towards him.

    Lier and Uncle Lan have usually mentioned their clan, what clan is it actually? He ponders for a long time but cannot figure out anything. However, his current mood is not bad because he feels that he seems to have become a bit closer to Miss Lier.



    Among the 8 caves under the Nine Demons Hall, the Great Shell Cave is adjacent to the Blood-red Cave.

    The name of the Great Shell Caves master is Fu Hao.

    At the moment he is leaning back in a chair carved from a large chunk of jade. His potbelly is bulging. 2 ladies-in-waiting are massaging his shoulders and 2 others are kneading his legs. 2 other ladies-in-waiting on his 2 sides are taking turn putting some rare fruits in his mouth.

    In the 8 caves, Fu Hao is the fattest and greediest. He is not very strong and is weaker than Cha Hong. He has only reached the late Yuanying stage, but his cave master throne is as stable as a mountain.

    Alright, all of you can leave.

    Fu Haos eunuch-like high-pitched voice rises. The 6 ladies-in-waiting immediately bow and leave his place. Fu Hao himself begins to ponder while stroking his soft white chin and frowning deeply.

    He is fat, but his skin is white and smooth and his eyes are lively like childrens.

    Judging from the information from both sides, 8th majesty is really dead. Now that 2nd majesty, 6th majesty and 7th majesty are rushing to the Blood-red Cave, 8th majestys death should have something to do with the Blood-red Cave. Given 8th majestys status, why did he approach the Blood-red Cave, which is near the Qian Long continent?

    Fu Hao considers carefully for a while.

    Could it be because of some treasure? Even if he were smarter, he would not figure out the true reason, because he knows nothing about the existence of the 9 Swords.

    Suddenly --

    Fu Hao. A red light beam flashes and a silhouette appears in front of Fu Hao.

    The arriver is very thin and straight like a pole and is dressed in a blood-red robe. His facial expression is ice-cold and grim. With his face, even if he smiles, he will still give a grim feeling.

    As soon as Fu Hao sees this man, his eyes brighten. He bows and says with a big smile on his face: Greetings, Lord Teng (*). May I ask why you have come to my place? Ill definitely tell you everything I know. His pleasant smile coupled with his white and smooth fat face makes him look really loveable.

    3 majesties of the Nine Demons Hall shouldve messaged you, am I wrong? This Lord Teng says smilingly.

    Despite his smile, his eyes are ice-cold like 2 stars in a winter night.


    NOTE:

    (*): Lord Teng and Teng Bi have the same surname in Chinese.

    B6C8: Qin Yu and Lier

    Fu Hao is secretly startled.

    The Azure Dragon Palace is really very formidable. It seems to have planted a lot of spies into the Nine Demons Hall. Lord Teng is really formidable. He even knows that 3 majesties messaged me. He thinks like lightning, and in an instant, he says in a disbelieving manner while appearing extremely shocked: Lord Teng, how, how did you know about this?

    Still with a grim expression, Lord Teng continues: You dont need to ask why I knew. Now all you have to do is answer my every question.

    Yes, please feel free to ask me, Lord Teng. Fu Hao says respectfully.

    Lord Teng says coldly: Who are the 3 majesties that have just left the Nine Demons Hall?

    They are 2nd majesty, 6th majesty and 7th majesty. Fu Hao says all he knows without any hesitation.

    Lord Teng says again: Which cave do these 3 majesties want to go to this time?

    The Blood-red Cave!

    Fu Hao is answering so quickly but he is also scolding in his mind: This horned dragon definitely knows who those 3 majesties are and where they are going to. Hes just asking me to check if Im lying.

    Then do you know why they are going to the Blood-red Cave? This time Lord Teng stares into Fu Haos eyes.

    The look in Fu Haos childlike lively eyes does not change one bit. He immediately says in a powerless manner: Lord Teng, I dont know about this. My Great Shell Cave is just a minor power. If 2nd majesty hadnt messaged me several times, I wouldnt have even known anything.

    Lord Teng nods his head.

    8th majestys death is a big secret and the Nine Demons Hall has also been doing its best to conceal this. He himself had to rely on different sources of information to deduce that 8th majesty is dead so it is not unusual for Fu Hao to know nothing.

    Even though Lord Teng does not mind Fu Haos answer, his face still darkens.

    Seeing this, Fu Hao appears to be somewhat terrified.

    Then I ask you, what did those 3 majesties and you say to each other in the messages? Lord Teng immediately asks.

    Fu Hao says in panic at once: There were many things because 2nd majesty and I messaged each other several times. What do you want me to tell you?

    Lord Tengs face changes color. He shouts: What did he message you to ask about? Tell me everything in detail. Dont leave out anything.

    Yes. Fu Hao immediately says in a rush: 2nd majesty first asked me if there had been any changes in the Blood-red Cave. I then told them that Cha Hong had been killed and a guardian called Liu Xing had seized the new cave master position.

    Lord Teng nods with an expressionless face.

    Fu Hao takes a look at his expression then hurriedly continues: Afterwards, 2nd majesty ordered me to message that old black turtle Qing Xuan, telling him that he had been appointed as the new master of the Blood-red Cave.

    Lord Teng keeps listening while staring at Fu Hao.

    That old turtle Qing Xuan then went to seize that position but he was killed by new cave master Liu Xing in just one move. That Liu Xing fella is really terrifying. I think he shouldve reached the middle Dongxu stage. Oh well, I really cant understand why an expert who could kill Qing Xuan in one hit like him was willing to be a guardian before. This is really strange. Fu Hao begins to run off at the mouth.

    Dont talk nonsense. I didnt ask you other things. I only care about the messages between Di Qing and you. Lord Teng shouts coldly.

    Yes, yes. Fu Hao hurriedly obeys. After the 3 majesties knew about this, they seemed to care a lot about this cave master Liu Xing. They even ordered me to secretly send my subordinates to the Blood-red Ridge to investigate everything related to him.

    Fu Hao suddenly stops saying.

    Huh?

    Lord Tengs eyes flash with coldness.

    Thats all, sir. Fu Hao says in panic.

    Lord Tengs piercing look eases off a little. He then says: Oh, thats it?

    They also messaged me a couple more times but they only asked about things related to the Blood-red Cave. However I knew nothing so I told them I knew very little or didnt even know. These messages are not worth mentioning. Fu Hao immediately explains more clearly.

    Lord Teng nods then ponders for a while.

    Fu Hao, he suddenly smiles. Remember, if you serve us, we certainly wont treat you unfairly. I believe those 3 majesties from the Nine Demons Hall will definitely come to the Great Shell Cave for some rest soon. At that time, theyll ask you many things. Youll have to tell me everything that they ask and say through your transmitter.

    Yes, Lord Teng. Fu Hao says respectfully with a smile.

    All of a sudden, Fu Haos eyes brighten and stare at something above the palm of Lord Tengs hand. That is a floating crystal.

    A top-grade crystal? Even his breathing has quickened.

    When even the spatial ring of the Nine Demons Halls 8th majesty only contained 5 top-grade crystals, it can be imagined how rare and valuable this top-grade crystal is. Generally, it is very difficult for Xiuyaoists of the same caliber as the masters of the 8 caves under the Nine Demons Hall to obtain top-grade crystals.

    Yes, were pretty satisfied with your behavior in the past 2 years so this top-grade crystal is given to you as a reward. Lord Teng makes a wave of his hand and that crystal immediately flies in front of Fu Hao.

    After receiving this top-grade crystal, Fu Hao hurriedly says: Dont worry, Lord Teng. As long as I know something, Ill definitely inform you about it. After some time, when those 3 majesties come here, Im going to message you everything they say and do.

    Hearing Fu Haos last sentence, Lord Teng gives a rare faint smile.

    Very well, youre a smart fella. If you work for us instead of the Nine Demons Hall, your future will surely be brighter than itll be otherwise. I believe you understand what I mean?

    Right after Lord Teng said this, his red robe flaps and he leaves extremely fast. He has come to and left the Great Shell Cave as he pleases without any hindrance. To him, Fu Haos guards and restrictive spells are basically just there for show.



    A month later,

    When Fu Hao is rolling in the bed with a beautiful woman, he suddenly stops.

    Sweetie, you can leave first.

    He unwillingly gives an order then gets dressed at once. When there is no one else in the room, a fat man appears and leans back in the jade chair that Fu Hao often uses. This man is even fatter and shorter than him.

    The short fat man has a thin moustache consisting of 2 lines of hair that look like daggers.

    Lord Lou, its been just a half year yet you have come to eat my treasure again? Unlike when he saw Lord Teng, Fu Hao behaves in a very relaxed manner when he sees this Lord Lou. But his facial expression has turned bitter.

    The short fat man strokes his moustache then says laughingly: Yeah, your Blood-red Flaming Honey is really delicious so this cant be helped. Why dont you give me another bowl?

    Bowl?!

    Fu Hao suddenly shrieks as if he has been chopped at with a knife.

    You even said bowl? I only got 3 small bottles in total. Even if they are put together, they wont fill a bowl! He says indignantly but his face suddenly turns pale.

    This Lord Lou bursts into evil laughter: Ha-ha, oh my, youve still got 3 bottles yet last time you told me you got only one. Humph, humph, unless you give me 2 bottles, dont even think that youll be okay. Say, what do you want? Giving them to me with respect or having all 3 bottles snatched by me?

    Fu Hao and Lord Lou like sweets very much. This Blood-red Flaming Honey not only makes the eaters feel a pleasant burning sensation inside as if they are drinking spirit, it is also uniquely sweet, therefore these 2 fat fellows are addicted to it.

    2 bottles, oh my, just kill me instead.

    Fu Hao would rather die than obey.

    After bargaining for a while, he eventually unwillingly surrenders one and a half bottles of Blood-red Flaming Honey to Lord Lou. Seeing Lord Lous satisfied expression, he feels a great pain in his heart.

    Lord Lou opens a bottle and has a gentle sniff of the honeys scent, appearing to take great pleasure in doing so. But he says at the same time: Alright, now is the main business. There should be no need for me to say much, right? Tell me everything you know.

    Fu Hao is secretly frustrated: Damn it. What the hell has been going on in the past 2 years that both the Azure Dragon Palace and the Blue Water Mansion have come to find me? Could it be Ive become popular? But Ive benefited considerably too.

    In fact, this Lord Lou and Lord Teng have come to Fu Hao only in the last 2 years. They both have asked Fu Hao to work for them. Because they are very powerful experts, the only thing Fu Hao has been able to do is obey their orders.

    Lord Teng and Lord Lou are very secretive and do not let anyone else notice them every time either of them comes here.

    After a talk, Lord Lou eventually knows what he wanted to know, but he is obviously somewhat stingier than Lord Teng because in the end he only rewards Fu Hao with a high-grade holy weapon, which naturally causes Fu Hao to secretly curse him.

    Only when Fu Hao sees Lord Lou leave does he secretly let out a sigh of relief.

    Not bad, luckily I was quick enough to immediately say that I got 3 bottles of Blood-red Flaming Honey instead of nine. In his heart, he is pleased with what he has done.

    For the moment, Fu Hao is stuck between the 3 superpowers and is passing every day in horror, but he has gained quite a lot as well.

    He does not know that the Azure Dragon Palace, the Blue Water Mansion and the Nine Demons Hall generally do not care about minor powers such as the 8 caves and do not plant spies into them either. For example, the Azure Dragon Palace has only infiltrated spies into the Nine Demons Hall and the Blue Water Mansion.

    Even the Nine Demons Hall has never really cared about the 8 caves under it.

    2 years ago, the Azure Dragon Palace and the Blue Water Mansion discovered that 8th majesty of the Nine Demons Hall had left the hall. Even though the Nine Demons Hall announced that he was doing closed-door training, the Azure Dragon Palace and the Blue Water Mansion had planted their spies into it long before that.

    However, Di Tongs whereabouts were very secret so the Azure Dragon Palace and the Blue Water Mansion were unable to find out what he wanted to do.

    But they did not pay too much attention to this either because while it was worth tracking a majesty of the Nine Demons Hall who had stealthily come out to do something, this was not very important. However, later they received a piece of news from inside the Nine Demons Hall -- the other 8 majesties were extremely furious outside the place where the soul jade slips are kept.

    Based on this and the fact that 3 majesties left the Nine Demons Hall at once, they concluded that 8th majesty was dead.

    Only at that time did the Azure Dragon Palace and the Blue Water Mansion realize that 8th majestys secret departure from the Nine Demons Hall was not something simple. They immediately began to pay attention to it and even dispatched Lord Teng and Lord Lou, 2 super experts, to investigate.

    Lord Teng and Lord Lou then happened to take the same action -- finding Fu Hao.

    The 3 superpowers have been competing with each other both openly and secretly, and likewise the 8 caves under the Nine Demons Hall. 100 years ago, the Great Shell Cave, which is the one nearest the Blood-red Cave, infiltrated quite a few spies into the Blood-red Cave so there is absolutely no one who knows more about the Blood-red Caves affairs than the Great Shell Caves master.

    Therefore, Fu Hao immediately became the focus of attention from the 3 superpowers. Di Qing has usually contacted him through his transmitter.

    Lord Teng and Lord Lou have normally communicated with him via his transmitter as well. It is just that this time they knew that 3 majesties would come to the Great Shell Cave soon and it would not take long to reach the Blood-red Cave from the Great Shell Cave, so they have personally found Fu Hao and rewarded him.

    The Azure Dragon Palace ranks 1st among the 3 superpowers and its overlord has shown that he is really worthy of being called the no. 1 expert in the overseas Xiuzhen world by giving Fu Hao much more than the Blue Water Mansion did.



    Qin Yu, to be honest, it seems you dont understand the game of Go. As for this game of chess, even though you taught it to me, you see, check.

    Lier moves her horse.

    Qin Yu is immediately dumbfounded. His king can still make a move, but he can see that Liers other horse has already been placed in a good position and will checkmate him right afterwards. He simply has no way out.

    Lier, youve won again.

    He has no choice but to give up.

    Actually he understands the game of Go. According to Grandpa Lian, he even belongs to the intermediate level on the Qian Long continent. However, every time he played Lier, he was forced to admit defeat after 100 moves.

    Qin Yu was secretly frustrated: Can I be blamed? She always beats me after 100 moves. The gap is too great. Perhaps she even waits until after the 100th move to finish me off to let me save face.

    When he played the game of Go with Lier, he noticed that sometimes her pieces would only be useful 100 moves later. Qin Yu was secretly shocked by this. Liers calculation power was really too strong already. How could she plan ahead so many moves?

    Thus, Qin Yu was forced to admit defeat again and again.

    However, as a son of the Qin clan, he did not like this, so he suggested playing the game of chess. Lier knew absolutely nothing about this game but Qin Yu was even mean enough to explain its many rules vaguely to her. Only after she made a move would he tell her something about the rules.

    Thanks to this he won the first game.

    Only after this game did Lier have a rough understanding of the rules.

    In the 2nd game, Qin Yu felt clearly that her chess ability had improved by leaps and bounds. Because he had many years of experience in chess and had read quite a few chess manuals in Misty Villa, he was able to win the 2nd game with effort.

    However ... he has always lost since the 3rd game.

    His manly dignity is all gone. He has thought that he himself is smart and that even his father Qin De will have difficulty winning against him but Lier has defeated him with utter ease. Every time they have played, only when the game was almost over could Qin Yu discover how precise her moves were.

    Qin Yu, dont be discouraged. In fact your chess skill

    Qin Yu immediately looks at Lier.

    is just a little weak.

    He cannot help feeling sad. Actually she wanted to say that his skill was very weak but in the end she showed some mercy. As soon as Lier sees Qin Yus expression, she says as if she is a teacher: Since your skill is weak, youll need to learn carefully. Ill play a game with Uncle Lan in a while and you have to watch it with attention.

    It has been a half year. Qin Yu has often played chess with Lier during this period and he has lost most of the time.

    All right. He says smilingly. In fact, he does not care too much about winning and losing in chess. But he likes Liers wise expression when she plays chess, which always gives him a peaceful easy feeling. Suddenly, he becomes serious: Lier, Ive got something to tell you.

    What is it? Lier says with a smile.

    Im going to leave tomorrow. Its time I went back to the Blood-red Cave. Actually, he should have left this place long ago, but he has been delaying his departure. Now he knows that members of the Nine Demons Hall can come anytime within a month or two so he has no choice but to return.

    Lier is startled. She has been playing chess with Qin Yu every day for the last half year so for the moment, in her heart, she is somewhat reluctant to be parted from him.

    But then she immediately says smilingly again: After youve handled all your matters, youll have to visit me frequently. And when youve returned, dont forget to polish up your chess skill, okay?

    Qin Yu nods his head.

    Definitely!

    He says very affirmatively.

    B6C9: The arrival of the 3 demons
    Outside the entrance of the ravine, Uncle Lan, Lier and all the Xiuyaoists in the ravine such as Yan Zi have gathered to bid farewell to Qin Yu. This time, he has been staying in the ravine for more than a half year. Once again, Qin Yu has felt that the heat current sent out by his Meteoric Tear has become stronger by 2 to 3 times during this period.

    It was also like this when he was here last time and only went back to normal after he had left the ravine. In the last half year, he has often listened to Liers music so his mental state has improved quite a lot and his soul has become even more materialized. Now his soul level has already reached the peak of the early Dongxu stage and can experience another breakthrough anytime.

    Theres no need to keep seeing me off, everybody. And dont worry about the Blood-red Caves affairs. Once Ive dealt with them, Im going to return to visit you. After all, the distance between the ravine and the Blood-red Cave is fairly short. Qin Yu says smilingly to everyone.

    Only at his current level does he dare to say that a nearly 1 million li distance is not far.

    Its not far indeed. When I have free time, Ill also come to visit you. Youll have to improve your chess skill intensively and dont let me defeat you so easily next time. Lier says with a smile. Given her marvelous travelling technique, she really can cover a million li very easily.

    Hearing the words chess skill, Qin Yu cannot help having a headache. But he still says with a big smile on his face: Of course I will, Lier. In fact, my chess skill isnt too weak. Its just that your skill is somewhat too abnormal.

    Lier is a little annoyed at once. But this is just because of her shyness. During this period of time, Qin Yu has often kidded her and she has never become very angry. However, he likes how she looks when she is both embarrassed and annoyed very much.

    Xiao Yu.

    Uncle Lan says.

    When Qin Yu just returned to the ravine more than a half year ago, he had a talk with Uncle Lan. Afterwards, Uncle Lan somehow changed his mind and had a completely different attitude towards Qin Yu. He also began to call Qin Yu Xiao Yu just like how a senior would call his junior instead of Qin Yu. Of course, Qin Yu did not mind this.

    Remember the transmitter I gave you and that advice. Uncle Lan says this sentence with a fairly serious expression. He then says smilingly: Dont think too much. Just try to temper yourself outside. This ravine is calm and quiet but its unsuitable for someone young and inexperienced like you.

    Qin Yu nods resolutely: I already remembered, Uncle Lan.

    Big brother Qin Yu, next time youll have to give me and sis Jin presents. Most importantly, youll have to give sis Lier a present. Yan Zi says playfully on one side.

    Qin Yu nods at her then looks at the other residents of the ravine. His eyes stop on Lier a bit longer.

    Theres no need to keep seeing me off, everybody, goodbye.

    After saying this, he immediately stands on the Flaming Sword and rushes towards the Blood-red Cave like a beam of light. The Xiuyaoists then go back into the ravine one by one, but Lier is still looking in Qin Yus direction. There is a hint of disappointment in her eyes at the moment.

    Sis Lier, you dont like to be separated from him, do you? Yan Zi says laughingly on one side of her. On the other side, Xiao Jin also begins to kid her.

    Lier regains her normal composure in an instant.

    Humph, the 2 of you even dare to poke fun at me. Now Qin Yu has gone, I need someone else to play chess with. All right, then Im going to play with you two. She makes a wave of her hand. Yan Zi and Xiao Jin are unexpectedly immobilized at once. Lier returns to the ravine right afterwards. Surprisingly, Yan Zi and Xiao Jin automatically float after her.

    If Qin Yu were to see this move, he would be dumbfounded.

    This is really the power of a Jindan stage Xiuzhenist?

    Sis Lier, youre very merciful so please forgive us. We already know that we were wrong. We cant play chess. Its too complicated and headachy for us. Yan Zi cannot move her limbs so she can only use her mouth to say nonstop. Xiao Jin, who is suffering the same fate, is also begging unceasingly.

    If you cant play chess then Ill teach you. Qin Yu taught it to me but now Im even better at it than him.

    Lier giggles and totally ignores Yan Zis and Xiao Jins appeals.

    At the entrance of the ravine,

    Uncle Lan is standing here. Lier and the others have come back into the ravine. Hearing the conversation between Lier, Yan Zi and Xiao Jin, he gives a faint smile.

    He then looks in the direction of Qin Yus departure and says to himself: Am I right or wrong to let Lier and Xiao Yu be together? Just like when I didnt die with her at that time to live out this worthless life, was I right or wrong?

    If I had another chance

    He sighs quietly: Perhaps Id choose the other path even if it would lead to death.

    Everyone chooses their own path. I cant force Xiao Yu to follow a certain path. He turns into nothingness after saying this and enters the bamboo house in an instant. This is the legendary Teleportation.



    Inside the Blood-red Cave,

    Oh?

    Qin Yu is standing outside the entrance leading to the underground secret floor in the artificial mountain. His face slightly changes color. He immediately says to the guards on patrol nearby: All of you come here.

    Hearing the order, that patrolling guard squad runs up to him extremely fast at once. The guards in the squad then get down on one knee, saying: Cave master.

    Say, when was this secret floor rebuilt into this state? Qin Yu shouts a question at the squad leader. There is even a note of anger in his tone.

    That squad leader immediately says in terror: About a half year ago, 2nd master said that this secret floor had been reduced to a mess by that fierce battle and ordered guards to rebuild it.

    When Qin Yu hears this, his face darkens. The squad leader continues: Cave master, this underground secret floor was such a mess. Perhaps 2nd master also thought that it was graceless so he ordered us subordinates to rebuild it.

    Qin Yu is very frustrated in his heart.

    An expert could look at the marks left on the battlefield where Cha Hong and Di Tong fought and figure out something. Qin Yu originally wanted to slightly alter those marks to lead the Nine Demons Halls members into making erroneous judgments favorable to him.

    However, the underground rubble was tamped and flattened and new secret rooms were built during the reconstruction so now there is absolutely none of those marks left.

    Forget it. You can go now.

    Qin Yu says with a wave of his hand in frustration.

    I take my leave.

    Those guards hurriedly leave in a respectful manner. Qin Yu feels that the situation is fairly bad because the marks of the battle are all gone. If the Nine Demons Halls members come here to investigate, they will definitely get angry upon seeing no marks on the battlefield, which will make it more difficult for him to deal with them.

    Without the marks of the fighting, those Nine Demons Halls members will surely interrogate the guardians and guards of the Blood-red Cave and they may find out something disadvantageous to him.

    Those guardians and guards should know what to say and what not to, right? Qin Yu has no choice but to hope for the best because he does not dare to tell those guardians and guards directly what they should say. After all, doing so would be the same as leaving behind a piece of evidence.

    He suddenly gives a smile.

    Its no use thinking too much. Lets hope that the Nine Demons Hall wont be too unreasonable. If they really cause me trouble, we 3 brothers will have no choice but to go on a killing spree. He turns around and leaves the artificial mountain to go back to his Lei Mountain House.

    When there is nothing to do, it is not bad to read books in Lei Mountain House.



    In the Great Shell Cave,

    Fu Hao, who is fat and has smooth white skin, bows and says with a pleasant smile: My 3 majesties, I have already prepared the rooms for you. May I ask if you want to stay the night here or keep going? The Blood-red Cave is very close to my Great Shell Cave.

    Di Luan frowns.

    Di Qing immediately says smilingly to Fu Hao: Fu Hao, were very satisfied with your answers. All right, we acknowledge your good intentions but weve got something to do so we wont take a rest here.

    Right after saying this, he leaves the Great Shell Cave together with Di Luan and Di Jian.

    As Fu Hao watches those 3 majesties leaving, a transmitter appears in his hand. After arranging in his mind a bit, he sends the contents of the talk between him and the 3 majesties into his transmitter using his holy sense then messages them to both Lord Teng and Lord Lou.

    Ha, its pretty good to benefit twice from one job. But whos that Liu Xing fella actually? His appearance is so mysterious. Plus, both 8th majesty and Cha Hong are already dead. If their deaths have something to do with him then hes dangerous. I mustnt provoke him. I definitely mustnt provoke him.

    Fu Hao sighs quietly then strolls back to his dwelling place.

    Since the 3 majesties are not in his cave anymore, he can now enjoy himself at will without restraint.



    At the Blood-red Cave,

    3 men who are all dressed in purple robes appear outside the main entrance. They are none other than Di Jian, Di Qing and Di Luan. They have suddenly arrived at the Blood-red Caves entrance without any notice.

    As the 3 of them look at the entrance of the cave, faint cold smiles appear on the corners of their mouths and their killing intent rises to a frightening level.

    Who are you?

    The guards at the entrance are no longer lordly as they usually are because they have been terrified by the killing intent these 3 men are giving off. The way they talk shows obviously that they fear the 3 men.

    Call your cave master Liu Xing out to see me. Di Qing shouts coldly.

    The faces of those guards change color. One of them says: Sirs, the 3 of you should be experts but our Blood-red Caves master isnt someone who you can meet with just a word. Moreover, you even want our cave master to personally come out to meet you, which is a bit much.

    Di Luan looks at that guard. If this had been said in the past, he would have secretly praised the guard for being loyal to the cave master. But now, after arriving at the Blood-red Cave, the 3 majesties have only pain and hatred in their hearts because they believe that there is a connection between their brothers death and this place.

    Sod off!

    Di Luan gives a cold shout and throws a kick.

    That guard wants to dodge but he immediately sees stars and is sent flying.

    Ha-ha this 8 million li radius area is the territory of my Blood-red Cave but the 3 of you even dare to behave so arrogantly at the entrance of my place. Youre really a bit much! Black-robed Qin Yu appears outside the entrance of the Blood-red Cave.

    As soon as those guards see him, they hurriedly bow and say: Cave master.

    Di Luan and his brothers immediately look at Qin Yu with glittering eyes.

    Youre the cave master? Di Luan asks.

    Qin Yu says with a nod: Correct. Im the Blood-red Caves master. Sirs, the 3 of you look distinguished and are very powerful but youre a bit much to be so arrogant at the entrance of the Blood-red Cave. You should know that the Blood-red Cave is subordinate to the Nine Demons Hall. You may bully the Blood-red Cave easily but the Nine Demons Hall is a different matter.

    Hearing this, even Di Jian has a faint smile on his face.

    3 majesties of the Nine Demons Hall are in front of this Liu Xing fellow but he does not recognize them so how can they not find this funny?

    How cant I know that youre 3 majesties from the Nine Demons Hall? These purple robes are a distinguishing characteristic of you. Qin Yu says inwardly. He is only pretending that he does not know who they are. He then shouts loudly: Sirs, if youve got something to say then say it, I dont have time to waste on you.

    Di Luan takes out from his bosom an authority card.

    A Nine Demons black card!

    Qin Yus face changes color. He slightly stammers: You, you are

    Di Qing says with a cold expression: Thats right! Were 3 majesties from the Nine Demons Hall. You want to make the Nine Demons Hall cause us trouble, dont you? Di Qing, Di Luan and Di Jian all look at Qin Yu, wanting to see his embarrassment.

    Qin Yu says with an awkward expression: My 3 majesties, I am Qin Yu, also known as Liu Xing. Ive been holding this cave master position for just a short time so Im still unfamiliar with the 9 majesties. I earnestly hope that you would forgive me.

    For the moment, he does not want to fight the Nine Demons Halls members head-on so naturally he is being slightly respectful to them.

    Seeing his terrified and embarrassed manner, Di Luan says with a cold laugh: Alright, dont talk nonsense. Gather all your guardians, squad leaders and vice masters into the main hall. Ive got something to ask you all.

    Qin Yus heart skips a beat.

    These 3 majesties from the Nine Demons Hall unexpectedly want to gather everyone right after their arrival. It looks like they do not have friendly intentions.

    Please wait in the main hall for a while, my 3 majesties. All guardians, squad leaders and my 2nd and 3rd brothers will come immediately. After saying this, Qin Yu shouts an order to the guards around him: Listen up, my guards. Inform the guardians, squad leaders, 2nd master and 3rd master that they have to quickly gather in the main hall.

    Yes! The several hundred guards around get down on one knee and take the order in unison.

    Afterwards, they immediately run away to spread the order.

    2nd master? 3rd master? Di Luan frowns.

    Qin Yu explains smilingly: Majesty, they are my 2nd and 3rd brother. Theres a very good brotherhood between us so we consider ourselves equal. We followed the example of the Nine Demons Halls 9 majesties and established the 2nd master and 3rd master positions instead of the vice master ones.


    Hearing what Qin Yu just said, Di Jian and his brothers secretly change their attitudes towards him a bit.

    They and their brothers have a very deep affection for each other so after knowing that Qin Yu also values brotherhood, they think a little better of him. But as soon as they remember that their 8thbrothers death is very likely to have something to do with the guy before them, this newly formed tinge of good impression vanishes.

    Di Luan says casually: Cave master Qin Yu, what techniques have you practiced? Why arent you giving off any energy and why are you absorbing all of the energies around you instead? Why dont you stop your technique and let us see what level youve reached?

    Qin Yu says in a powerless manner: My 3 majesties, once this technique of mine is practiced, it will be planted deeply into the dantian and never stop working. Unless Im killed, it wont ever stop.

    His meaning is very clear, that is, there is no way he will stop this Northern Darkness technique to let them see his power level!

    Di Luan says with a nod: Oh, is that so? Right, I heard you killed that old turtle Qing Xuan with just a sword move, didnt you, cave master Qin Yu? Qing Xuan was at the early Dongxu stage and was approaching Cha Hong in power. Looks like you surpassed Cha Hong long ago, but why were you willing to be a guardian under him before?

    Di Luan looks Qin Yu in the eye and waits for his answer.

    Qin Yu is stupefied.

    Di Luans eyes flash with coldness. The air between the 3 majesties and Qin Yu seems to have solidified.

    B6C10: Silent interrogation

    Qin Yu had surpassed Cha Hong in power but he was willing to become a guardian and a subordinate to Cha Hong. This hard-to-explain matter naturally has made the 3 majesties suspect Qin Yu. They even suspect that he is a member of either the Azure Dragon Palace or the Blue Water Mansion who came here only because of the top treasure 9 Swords!

    Why are you speechless, cave master Qin Yu? Di Luan looks at Qin Yu with a cold laugh. Di Qing and Di Jian also look at him. It appears that if his answer is unsatisfactory, they will immediately capture him.

    Qin Yu lets out a sigh: My 3 majesties, does such a simple question still need to be asked? With your wisdom, you still cant see the answer?

    His words make Di Luan, Di Qing and Di Jian dumbfounded.

    My 3 majesties, I wasnt well-known in this area of water. If someone like me seizes the cave master position directly, perhaps not many Xiuyaoists will accept him as cave master. Qin Yu says in a frustrated manner to the 3 majesties.

    Di Luan however says: Strong individuals enjoy supremacy. Who would have dared to oppose you if you had killed Cha Hong?

    Qin Yu immediately says: Majesty, you said I couldve killed Cha Hong, but he wasnt alone. There were so many guardians under him, if I had killed him, naturally Id have had to kill quite a few expert guardians. So, when I become cave master, wouldnt I have already killed a number of my subordinates? Moreover at that time I was much weaker than I am now.

    Oh? Di Luan looks at Qin Yu with suspicion.

    Qin Yu says smilingly: Just by asking around a bit, youll know that I underwent closed-door training a few times in the Blood-red Cave. Moreover, I improved greatly thanks to these training sessions. Previously I didnt have enough power to beat Cha Hong at all. Only after those closed-door training sessions did I begin to be capable of this.

    Di Luans eyes flash with coldness.

    You did closed-door training before or after Cha Hongs death? He asks in a very serious voice.

    Di Luan, Di Jian and Di Qing have all noticed the problem in Qin Yus answer. If his power improved before Cha Hongs death then there is nothing wrong. But if it improved after Cha Hongs death then there is a possibility that he killed Cha Hong.

    It was before his death!

    Qin Yu says firmly.

    Can you confirm this? Di Luan says with a cold laugh. Lying is no good. We can ask whoever we want. Anyone can be a witness.

    Qin Yu says with a smile: You can ask anyone about this. It seems Cha Hong spent most of the last 100 years doing closed-door training. That day, after everybody discovered that he was dead, we began to discuss who would become the new cave master. We then had some sparring matches and I defeated Teng Bi.

    My 3 majesties, I know that youre suspecting that I killed Cha Hong and absorbed his yuanying. But if I had killed him, it would have taken me at least several days to absorb his yuanying whereas I fought Teng Bi on the same day as his death. Even if I had killed Cha Hong, I wouldnt have had enough time to consume his yuanying.

    Qin Yu looks smilingly at the 3 majesties: I believe you understand what I mean.

    Di Luan, Di Jian and Di Qing exchange a look and say nothing.

    It generally takes several days to absorb an early Dongxu stage yuanying but the place where the soul jade slips are kept is checked every day. Therefore, they must have discovered Cha Hongs death within 24 hours of it or even soon after it happened.

    Even if Qin Yu had spent that entire short period of time to absorb, theoretically he would not have been able to improve much.

    Suddenly, Di Qing says: Just now you said Cha Hong often did closed-door training in the past 100 years, right?

    Qin Yu is secretly happy. He thinks that even though the death of the Nine Demons Halls 8th majesty is important, one of the 9 Swords is also very attractive and if he can shift these 3 majesties attention onto that jade sword, the situation will be much better for him.

    Thats right. Many Xiuyaoists here know about this. Moreover, Cha Hong even strictly ordered that nobody disturb him during his training. Qin Yu answers truthfully.

    Di Qing and Di Jian exchange a look.

    7th brother, looks like Cha Hong did so to break a black jade cases Dust Removing restrictive spell. An early Dongxu stage blood-red aquatic python indeed has to spend 100 years to break a Dust Removing restrictive spell set up by an immortal. That Cha Hong fella is really pitiful to have spent so much time breaking one. Di Qing says through holy sense communication.

    Di Qing and his brothers remember very well that when the 9 of them obtained a black jade case before, they had to join forces and spend several months to open it.

    2nd brother, 6th brother, theres a high probability that 8th brother came to rob Cha Hong right after he had opened that restrictive spell. The 2 of them then had a fierce battle and could even die from this. Its also possible that a third party interfered with them. Di Luan says to Di Qing and Di Jian through his holy sense.

    Both of them agree with him.

    However, now we dont know if 8th brother died in the Blood-red Cave or got killed on the way back from the Blood-red Cave after taking that black jade case. Di Luan has become suspicious. He is sure that an unknown third party was involved in this.

    When did this third party actually get into action?

    Qin Yu, how did Cha Hong die? Di Luan shouts coldly at Qin Yu.

    The latter says with a shake of his head: Majesty, I dont know how Cha Hong died either. That fight took place on the underground secret floor, but when the guardians arrived, there werent any corpses there.

    There wasnt anyone there? Di Luan asks frowningly.

    Yes, there wasnt anyone there. Qin Yu says firmly.

    Why there were no corpses? The reason for this is that Qin Yu sucked the corpses into his spatial ring at that time to get rid of the evidence, and later he burnt them up with his internal flame.

    Di Luan and his brothers become even more suspicious.

    Now it can be confirmed that the underground secret floor is the battlefield, but why there were no corpses?

    Destroying the evidence!

    The 3 brothers can only think of this explanation.

    Take us to the underground secret floor and show us the marks of the fighting. Di Jian suddenly shouts. Given their power, they can definitely have a rough idea of what happened during that fight based on those marks.

    Qin Yu says with a somewhat unpleasant expression: This is impossible because that fight happened a year ago. Nearly half of the underground secret floor was destroyed so it has already been rebuilt and those marks of the fighting are now all gone.

    All gone?

    Di Jian, Di Qing and Di Luan all look at Qin Yu with suspicion.

    They are suspecting that Qin Yu destroyed the evidence.

    My 3 majesties, now all the squad leaders and 16 guardians have gathered in the main hall. My 2 brothers are already there as well. If you have any doubts, please feel free to ask them. Qin Yu says immediately.

    He looks at the 3 majesties with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.

    The 3 of you keep questioning me. It seems you distrust me very much. But theres nothing I can do about this. You can interrogate anyone as you please. True gold fears no fire. Im going to show you the way.

    He then heads for the main hall directly without paying attention to the 3 majesties response.

    Oh?

    There is a hint of amazement on Di Luans face. He did not expect Qin Yu to become haughty at a time like this.

    The killer should be afraid of us and very respectful to us, and when we ask a question, hell definitely answer it instead of getting angry. But this Qin Yu fella even dared to get angry. Di Luan says to Di Qing via his holy sense.

    Di Qing also says with a nod: Yeah, lets go question other guys first.

    Di Luan has been misled by his overconfidence in his own smartness. What seems true can be false and vice versa so there are many things that are extremely difficult to reason out.



    In the main hall of the Blood-red Cave,

    Di Jian and his brothers are sitting in Qin Yus, Hou Feis and Hei Yus original positions. Qin Yu and his 2 brothers are leading the 16 guardians and all the squad leaders of the Blood-red Cave waiting for the 3 majesties orders on the lower end of the hall.

    Cave master Qin Yu, it seems your 2nd brother and 3rd brother are not very powerful? Di Qing, who is sitting in the central position, asks Qin Yu.

    Hou Fei scratches his head but he basically does not care about the 3 majesties above him. Di Qing does not know that Qin Yu has already told Hou Fei and Hei Yu to suppress their auras and send out a little energy. Di Qing and his brothers therefore have noticed that Hou Fei is at the late Yuanying stage and Hei Yu is at the middle Yuanying stage.

    Majesty, even though my 2nd brother is only at the late Yuanying stage, he belongs to the unusually gifted Aquatic Monkey clan so he can already fight common early Dongxu stage experts. My 3rd brother is also from a very formidable clan of eagle which is second only to the Golden Flame Eagle clan. Qin Yu explains on behalf of Hou Fei and Hei Yu.

    Hearing what he said, the 3 majesties all have a hint of disdain in their eyes.

    Hou Fei, a Fiery-eyed Aquatic monkey, and Xiao Hei both are extremely rare demonic beasts. According to Uncle Lan, Hou Fei is the only Fiery-eyed Aquatic monkey in the entire underwater Xiuyao world, and he has suppressed his aura so the 3 majesties cannot see his extraordinariness.

    It is better to reveal Hou Feis power a bit than to hide it completely so Qin Yu said that he is comparable to early Dongxu stage experts.

    The 3 majesties do not care about someone with so little power.

    The guardians who went into the underground secret floor at that time and saw the marks of the fighting come out. Di Qing shouts.

    Immediately, the 3 black turtle brothers, Wu Tong, Wu Feng, the 2 snake women Yan Qing and Xi Yan, Teng Bi and Zhuang Zhong all walk forwards. In front of the 3 majesties, these 9 guardians do not dare to show any arrogance and are very respectful.

    Were going to talk through holy sense communication so theres no need to worry that someone else can hear what youre going to say, everybody. But dont lie, because Im going to question all the 9 of you. If I find out any differences between your answer and that of someone else, if there are 2 different answers, youll all die!

    Di Qing says in a cold voice.

    The 9 guardians hearts tremble.

    Qin Yu also frowns. He immediately takes a step forwards and says: Majesty, if someone among these 9 guardians lies while the others tell the truth, wont this method of yours harm the honest ones? At this moment, he at least has to try to do something for his subordinates.

    Cave master Qin Yu, move back or die!

    Di Jian, who is sitting with eyes closed in repose, suddenly opens his eyes and shouts coldly at Qin Yu. His eyes are filled with icy killing intent.

    Big brother, this fella is too strong. Even if I go berserk, I wont necessarily beat him. We better restrain ourselves. Violent-tempered Hou Fei unexpectedly pacifies Qin Yu through holy sense communication. The latter can only clench his teeth and take a step backwards.

    Di Jian takes a look at Qin Yu then shuts his eyes to rest again.

    Di Luan and Di Qing will be responsible for the interrogation. Di Jian is much stronger than them but he comes with them only to prevent any accidents from happening. In the eyes of the Nine Demons Hall, unless the old freak Three-Eyed of the Blue Water Mansion or the Azure Dragon Palaces overlord personally gets into action, its really unlikely that someone will be able to deal with Di Jian.

    All of the 9 guardians become very nervous.

    None of them dares to lie because if one of them lies, this can bring about the deaths of all of them.

    Di Qing has covered the 9 guardians with his holy sense. If they talk to each other via holy sense communication, he will definitely detect undulations in their holy senses.

    Time goes by.

    However, there is only a frightening silence in the whole main hall.

    Next. Di Qing says coldly. Zhuang Zhong, the 1st to be questioned, now has beads of sweat all over his forehead. Even though he has gone through the interrogation, he is still in danger because if someone elses answer is different from his, both he and that guardian will die!

    Time keeps going by.

    Now every guardian has been interrogated except for one and Qin Yu has nearly reached the limit of his patience too.

    Big brother, these Nine Demons Halls fellas are real bastards. Theyre doing this just to disturb our minds. If they make me angry, Ill kill one of them with a smash of my stick. You can kill that early Dongxu fella. Then well join forces to fight that strongest fella!

    Obviously Hou Fei has also become somewhat impatient because he cannot know what Di Qing and Di Luan have asked and what information they have obtained.

    Di Qing and Di Luans threat in the beginning has really been effective. 8 guardians have been questioned successively without any problems. At the moment, the 9th guardian, Ba Jian of the 3 black turtle brothers, is being questioned.

    Boom!

    Di Qing suddenly makes a wave of his hand. A purple beam of light shoots out and Ba Jian is helplessly blown to pieces with a boom.

    Humph, you even dared to lie. Di Qing stands up all of a sudden and sweeps his eyes across the other 8 guardians.

    Those 8 guardians faces immediately go pale. Teng Bis eyes even flash with fierceness: Majesty, we didnt lie at all. If the 8 of us get killed because he alone lied to you, well die with resentment.

    Shut up!

    Di Jian suddenly opens his eyes and shouts.

    A shock wave shoots out from his mouth at a frighteningly fast speed. Teng Bis face changes color greatly at once. He attempts to dodge with a shake of his body but that shock wave is so fast that it still hits him. Teng Bi is immediately sent flying. He then falls on the floor and spits out 2 mouthfuls of blood.

    Teng Bi has been seriously injured!

    A late Dongxu stage Purple Demon aquatic dragon is definitely comparable to Kongming stage Xiuxianists so he has been able to injure Teng Bi badly with just a shout. The faces of the other 7 guardians immediately blacken. They know that if the 3 majesties want to kill them, they will not be able to put up any resistance.

    Majesties!

    Even Qin Yu speaks out and looks coldly at the 3 majesties above him.

    A faint cold smile appears on the corners of Di Luans mouth. In an instant, he reaches out a hand to stop Di Jian, who is about to rage, and says: Since cave master Qin Yu has spoken out, all right, we accept that the last guardian was the only one who lied and wont blame the other 8 guardians.

    Yan Qing and the other guardians immediately let out a sigh of relief.

    However, they simply do not know that the last guardian Ba Jian did not lie. His answer does not contradict theirs at all.

    B6C11: Go with us!

    In the main hall, guardian Ba Jian has been blown to bits and his blood has splattered over a large area. The whole main hall looks so chillingly bloody, and on the raised platform, Di Jian, Di Luan and Di Qing are like 3 cold-blooded demons.

    Just like a moment ago, now were going to question the 50 squad leaders and the remaining 7 guardians. I hope you wont lie, or else you cant blame us. Di Luan says smilingly but his smile terrifies those squad leaders and guardians.

    9 of the 16 guardians have been interrogated. The remaining 7 guardians and 50 squad leaders are obviously very nervous, to the point where they cannot conceal the terror in their eyes. They are even more frightened when they see Ba Jians flesh fragments and blood.

    From left to right, from the front to the back, you, come first!

    Di Luan says while pointing at a large bald man, who is a guardian. That large bald man is one of the Blood-red Caves new guardians. He is normally very violent and bold and in fact is a boor, but now his facial muscles are slightly trembling.

    With an unpleasant forced smile, the large bald man goes forwards.

    After that, Di Luan talks to him through holy sense communication. Nobody knows what Di Luan asks him and what his answers are. This terrifies the ones who are soon to be interrogated below him even more.

    You, come up.

    Di Qing also points at a guardian, who originally was next to the large bald man, and starts questioning him.



    As time passes, the guardians and squad leaders are interrogated one by one and Qin Yu frowns more and more deeply.

    Looks like these 3 Nine Demons Hall brats are in no hurry to question me about the black jade case. Instead, they keep questioning these squad leaders and guardians, who at best know nothing other than that there was a fierce battle on the underground secret floor at that time. It seems these 3 majesties consider Di Tongs death even more important than the black jade case.

    Seeing how Di Luan and Di Qing are taking the trouble to question everyone, Qin Yu finally realizes that his conjecture is wrong.

    Perhaps my plan was wrong right from the beginning. I misjudged these 9 brothers. Their brotherhood is so deep that it surpasses the attraction of the black jade case. Qin Yu is considering extremely fast.

    At first he thought that members of the Nine Demons Hall would come here to investigate the 9 Swords matter and prepared his explanations accordingly. But now he has discovered that these 3 majesties do not pay attention to the black jade case. And naturally he has to reconsider how he should deal with them.

    Suddenly, his face changes color.

    No good, if their brotherhood is stronger than the attraction of the black jade case then even though they are only suspecting me of killing Di Tong, given their characters, theyll definitely kill me to make sure the killer wont escape!

    He has eventually noticed this point.

    For the moment, nobody knows who killed Di Tong, but he is definitely the no. 1 suspect. With these majesties dispositions, they will absolutely not leave him alone.

    After Qin Yu thinks for a while, the corners of his mouth slightly curve upwards.

    Fei Fei, no matter what happens later, you have to hide your power. Dont get into action. Just leave everything to me.

    Hearing Qin Yus voice in his mind through holy sense communication, Hou Fei immediately has a bad feeling. He hurriedly says: What do you want to do, big brother? Dont be reckless. If you want to fight, well fight together. We 3 still have a chance against the 3 of them.

    Dont worry. Did you forget that I returned to the ravine not long ago? Qin Yu is not worried at all.

    The ravine?

    Hou Fei is happy at once: Big brother, did you go back to the ravine to find Master?

    Fei Fei, Uncle Lan agreed that if we message him when were in danger, hell definitely protect us. As soon Qin Yu finishes, Hou Fei becomes excited: This is very good. Since Master already said so, to hell with worries. Damn, lets go on a killing spree first.

    Qin Yu however tells him through holy sense communication: Fei Fei, I dont want to bother Uncle Lan so lets play with the Nine Demons Hall to our hearts content with no worries. Only if in the end the situation escalates beyond our control will we call Uncle Lan in.

    Kaka, thats very good. Lets fight these 3 fellas first. Hou Fei now does not care about consequences anymore.

    Nobody knows about Uncle Lans power as well as he does. If his power is like a rock then Uncle Lans is like a sky-high mountain. The 2 of them are simply not on the same level.

    Dont rush. This Blood-red Cave is our base. If we fight them here, given their power, its totally uncertain whether well beat them and the Blood-red Cave will probably be destroyed. Lets wait for a chance to fight them after they have left the cave. Qin Yu immediately discourages him.

    All right, Ill leave everything to you. Hou Fei is no longer worried.

    What is there to worry about when they have Master behind them?

    Even if the sky fell down, Master would prop it up.

    But we best not trouble Master. Itll be a bit of a shame if we call him in when were in danger. Hou Fei suddenly says via his holy sense.

    Qin Yu secretly gives a smile as he never thought someone who fears nothing like Hou Fei would have this kind of thought. He immediately says through his holy sense: Dont worry. With our abilities, it wont be easy for the Nine Demons Hall to handle us.

    Having figured out that the Nine Demons Hall most likely wants to kill him, Qin Yu certainly has to change his countermeasure.

    If he keep stooping to compromise and pretending to be a small fry, the opponents will have no qualms about killing him. Therefore now he must change his status in the eyes of them and even make them afraid of killing him for the moment. After all he has to continue to play the game nicely.

    You want to play? Then lets play in a big way. But will your Nine Demons Hall be able to take it?

    Qin Yu looks coldly at the 3 majesties above him.

    Suddenly --

    Humph, how dare you lie to me? Die! Di Qing shouts coldly and shoots out a green beam of light with a wave of his hand.

    The squad leader who is being questioned goes miserably pale in the face and cannot even make a movement to defend. Di Qing has reached the middle Dongxu stage so, even though he executes this strike casually, how can a mere late Jindan stage squad leader possibly ward it off?

    Bang!

    There is a shock wave and the green light beam is repelled.

    Qin Yu then slowly pulls back his fist. Just now, using the top grade holy weapon Flaming Gloves, he collided with the opponents flying sword. In terms of power, there is little difference between him and Di Qing. Therefore, when he intentionally tried to resist Di Qings casual attack, the result is easy to imagine.

    That squad leader, who originally thought that he would die for sure, is delighted upon finding himself alive. As soon as he sees Qin Yu in front of him, he is surprised and touched.

    Thank you, cave master. The squad leader keeps saying nonstop out of deep gratitude towards Qin Yu.

    Qin Yu says smilingly: Stand to one side and let me handle this. He then looks at the 3 majesties above him with fearless eyes.

    Qin Yu, you must have a death wish. Di Jian, who has been keeping his eyes closed in repose, suddenly opens them and shouts. Immediately afterwards, he wants to get into action, but at this moment --

    Shut up!

    Qin Yu suddenly shouts and looks coldly at Di Jian, who becomes even more furious because his attack is interrupted by this shout.

    6th brother, dont fight just yet. Di Luan tells Di Jian then looks at Qin Yu and says smilingly: Cave master Qin Yu, we Nine Demons Hall are interrogating them but you unexpectedly dared to obstruct us Say, how do you think should you be punished for this?

    Qin Yu, however, does not care about what he said at all.

    Majesties, they are my subordinates. Its a bit much of you 3 to kill them at will. I wonder if you have evidence to justify killing them.

    Evidence? You dont think they deserve to be killed for lying to us? Di Luan says while looking at Qin Yu.

    Lying? Did they lie to you? Can you confirm this? Qin Yu looks at the 3 majesties above him with no intention of backing off.

    The guardians and guards behind him appear to be moved by his willingness to confront the 3 majesties from the Nine Demons Hall to protect them. It is rare to find a cave master who cares about his subordinates so much like him. The squad leader whose life was saved by him is even more excited.

    He lied. His answer is different from the others, doesnt this mean he lied? Could it be you are saying that the other guys lied and should be killed? Di Luan says smilingly. If cave master Qin Yu thinks so, we wont mind killing the others instead.

    After saying so, Di Luan reaches out his hand.

    Majesties, that judgment is a bit too subjective. Qin Yu says indifferently.

    Oh? Di Luan looks at Qin Yu with a hint of ridicule in his eyes, waiting for Qin Yus answer.

    Take the marks of the fighting on that underground secret floor for example. Not all guardians and squad leaders saw those marks. Many of them only heard about the marks from others. There are also other things that only few of them personally saw. So, its natural that there are some differences between their answers.

    Qin Yu continues: Moreover, even though there was only one battleground, different individuals observed it from different points of view so its very normal that their answers are different. Different viewpoints result in different answers. If you conclude that they lied based on this then

    Saying to this point, he stops and looks at the 3 majesties.

    Pa, pa

    Di Luan says smilingly while clapping: Brilliant. Cave master Qin Yu is really good at sophistry.

    Mind your language. This is not sophistry, but the truth. Qin Yu looks at Di Luan and says. He has discovered that of the 3 majesties, the one who is talking to him is the decision maker.

    2nd brother, you first go search the Blood-red Cave to see if there are any marks from which we can figure out what happened that day. Di Luan tells Di Qing via his holy sense.

    Di Qing nods then flies out of the main hall at once.

    Seeing Di Qing leave the main hall, Qin Yu says smilingly: Majesties, weve been talking to each other for some time but I still dont know exactly who you are. Why dont you introduce yourself to me a bit? He speaks with assurance as if he is talking to close friends.

    Di Luan says with a nod: You dont need to know who we exactly are. You only have to call me 7th majesty and the majesty who left just now 2nd majesty. And this majesty is

    6th majesty, I already knew this. Just now I heard you call him 6th majesty. Qin Yu cuts in.

    Di Luan suddenly says: Cave master Qin Yu, just now you were able to meet a strike from my 2nd brother head-on. He wasnt using his full power but I was still surprised by this. Looks like you have reached the middle Dongxu stage, no less.

    I dont deserve your praise, 7th majesty.

    Qin Yu says with a slight bow. But he does not say anything else.

    Di Luan did not say those words casually at all. A Purple Demon aquatic dragon at the middle Dongxu stage is superior to ordinary late Dongxu stage Xiuxianists therefore Di Qings casual strike was extremely powerful. Qin Yu was able to knock back that flying sword head-on so he really can match a normal middle Dongxu stage expert in power.

    When I was questioning the guardians just now, I learned of one thing. Hopefully cave master Qin Yu can explain it to me. Di Luan still says smilingly.

    Please tell me about it, 7th majesty.

    Di Luans body begins to send out a little killing intent: That day, after the other guardians had discovered Cha Hongs death, they decided to choose a new cave master. They then went to your place but you were doing closed-door training. Why did you make them wait for 4 to 6 hours before coming out?

    Di Luans eyes flash with coldness.

    Di Jian also gives Qin Yu an ice-cold stare.

    Qin Yu however smiles broadly.

    7th majesty, could it be you dont know that the more formidable an expert is, the later he should show up? He says jokingly.

    Di Luan is startled.

    If I had agreed to fight them as soon as they said they wanted to fight me, I wouldve lost face a little too much. So I made them wait for 4 to 6 hours before getting into action. I showed obviously my superior status by doing this, didnt I? Wouldnt other experts do the same in this situation?

    When Qin Yu has just finished,

    Cave master Qin Yu, nobody is joking with you here. Explain, why did you make them wait for 4 to 6 hours? Di Jian shouts.

    Actually, at that time Qin Yu was absorbing the energy of a yuanying to reach the middle Meteor stage from the early Meteor stage, but of course he cannot tell them about this.

    Ive explained it. Just now you questioned them so you most probably already knew how easily I defeated guardian Teng Bi. With my power, I should be a bit arrogant and show my superiority, shouldnt I? Qin Yu says doubtfully.

    Di Luan frowns.

    Whizz!

    Di Qing gets on the raised platform in the main hall with a movement of his body.

    7th brother, Ive carried out a careful search but found nothing unusual in the Blood-red Cave. There are no marks of the fighting that day left either. He uses holy sense communication.

    Luckily Qin Yu had already put Lei Mountain House away before the arrival of the 3 majesties. Otherwise, a wondrous thing like it would definitely have amazed them, which would have given Qin Yu more trouble.

    Nothing? Di Luans eyelids tremble. He then stands up all of a sudden.

    Since there are no marks left in the Blood-red Cave, the only useful thing here is cave master Qin Yu before him.

    Go with us, cave master Qin Yu. Follow us to the Nine Demons Hall to meet my big brother and help us investigate the matters related to the fight on the underground secret floor that day. Di Luan says smilingly to Qin Yu. At this moment, Di Qing and Di Jian also stand up and focus their eyes on him.

    B6C12: Purple Demon Tower

    Di Luan, Di Qing and Di Jian all use their eyes to tell Qin Yu that there is only one option for him if he does not want to get killed -- go with them.

    Qin Yu bursts out laughing. At first he only smiles but then he laughs out loud, as if he has heard a joke or something.

    Ha-ha youre really funny, majesties. If you want to investigate the fight that day, isnt questioning everybody here enough? Why do you want me to go with you to that distant Nine Demons Hall? He does not care about the 3 majesties cold stares at all.

    Go or die!

    Di Jian looks at Qin Yu and says coldly.

    Di Qing and Di Luan do not mind Di Jians threat at all. In their eyes Qin Yu is very likely to be killer so they would rather kill him wrongly than leave him alone. If Qin Yu gets too arrogant, they will have no misgivings about killing him.

    With his face changing color, Qin Yu stares at Di Jian: Die? 6th majesty, this underwater Xiuyao world is huge and got countless experts. Do you really think youre so invincible that you can directly sentence someone to death? You should know that even though youre good, theres always someone better than you.

    Im stronger than you. Di Jian says very curtly.

    Qin Yu suppresses his furious expression in an instant and says smilingly again: Youre stronger than me indeed. If you 3 dont want to know about the black jade case and the 8th jade sword, then just kill me. After saying so, he shuts his eyes.

    Di Jians, Di Luans and Di Qings eyes brighten.

    Even though their 8th brothers death must be avenged, they also have a craving for the 8th jade sword.

    At this moment, there are slight changes in the expressions of a squad leader and 2 guardians on the lower end of the main hall, but nobody is paying attention to them.

    Those who know the secret, die!

    Di Jian sweeps his eyes across the guardians and squad leaders. He and his brothers want to question Qin Yu immediately but they first have to remove these guardians and squad leaders, who already know about the secret.

    Stop!

    Qin Yu shouts at once. They are my subordinates. You cant touch them. Also, what are you worried about, majesties? Just now I only mentioned a couple of names. What can they possibly know from this? He wants to protect these subordinates no matter what.

    Cave master Qin Yu, you really want to protect them? Di Luan looks at him.

    Qin Yu nods: Of course I do. They are my subordinates. Once they are killed, my Blood-red Cave will exist in name only. If you 3 kill them, youll regret this for the rest of your life! On the outside he appears to be righteous and selfless but in fact he is laughing inwardly: If I dont let some fellas with ulterior motives leak this out, how can the waters be muddied?

    Regretting for life!

    Hearing what Qin Yu said, the 3 majesties all change color in their faces. They think for a long time and eventually make a decision.

    All of you bugger off! Di Luan shouts at the Xiuyaoists below him.

    Those squad leaders and guardians immediately run out of the main hall in terror, so do Hou Fei and Hei Yu. Actually, Qin Yu has told Hou Fei and Hei Yu to leave via holy sense communication, or else they would not have done this.

    Say it, cave master Qin Yu, how did you know about the black jade case? Suppressing the anger in his heart, Di Luan asks a question.

    Di Qing and Di Jian also become nervous in their hearts. If Qin Yu knows about the black jade case then there is a strong possibility that he knows how their 8th brother died. Compared to their 8th brothers death, the black jade case can be put aside.

    This is a secret.

    Qin Yu says smilingly in a very assured manner.

    Say or die. Di Jians eyes glitter with coldness.

    If you kill me, youll never know who killed that brother of yours. Qin Yu turns his head without taking even a look at Di Jian. What he said is true. If Di Jian kills him, the Nine Demons Hall will never know who the killer is.

    When Di Luan and his brothers hear these words, their eyes brighten.

    By saying so, Qin Yu has obviously admitted that he knows the identity of the killer. However, seeing Qin Yus very uncompromising manner, the 3 of them have a serious headache.

    So you really dont want to tell us, cave master Qin Yu? You wont say anything even if youre going to die? Di Luan says in a totally severe tone.

    Yes, I wont tell you even if youre going to kill me.

    Qin Yu looks at Di Luan and shows no intention of bowing to pressure.

    7th brother, did you forget that the Nine Demons Hall has a guardian whose true form is a terror jellyfish?! Di Qings voice rises in Di Luans mind. Di Luan is immediately delighted. Terror jellyfish are a relatively formidable species of demonic beast with 2 forms of attack. The 1st is poison and the 2nd is absorption!

    After absorbing someone completely, they can even obtain the targets memories. This secret technique is similar to the miraculous absorption technique that Xiao Hei gained after undergoing his forbidden technique in that both can absorb a targets memories.

    With such a method, theres no need to forcefully question him. Even if we do, this Qin Yu fella wont necessarily tell us the truth.

    Di Luan has naturally made a decision in his mind.

    Cave master Qin Yu, you really arent going to tell us? He does not dare to let Qin Yu know the truth because he fears that Qin Yu would rather die than go with them to the Nine Demons Hall.

    Qin Yu simply does not answer.

    Humph, looks like you want to learn it the hard way. 2nd brother, 6th brother, take him to the Nine Demons Hall. This brat knows about the 9 Swords and 8th brother. Hes very important so we better discuss with the other brothers before deciding his fate. Di Luan says to Di Qing and Di Jian.

    Di Qing certainly knows that Di Luan is acting so he says in concert with him: Very well, lets bring him back first. Di Jian also nods his head.

    Cave master Qin Yu, you should have already known who is strong and who is weak, right? Seal up his power, 6th brother. Di Luan says to Di Jian on one side.

    With his eyes glittering with coldness, Qin Yu looks at Di Jian: I can go with you, but if you want to seal up my power, dream on!

    Now he seems to have gone mad and looks as if he will risk his life to fight if Di Jian gets into action.

    Seeing Qin Yu behaving like that, Di Luan frowns. Di Jian also stops. They know they have to bring him back with them and let that terror jellyfish guardian absorb him. If Qin Yu dies here, they will not be able to know what happened to their 8th brother and the 8th jade sword.

    Forget it, 7th brother. Even if his power isnt sealed up, I want to see how he can escape from the palms of our hands. Di Jian says disdainfully.

    In his eyes, Qin Yu is someone he can definitely kill with ease.

    This is how it should be. But I think youll regret taking me to your Nine Demons Hall later. Qin Yu says smilingly.

    Regret?

    Di Luan does not care about Qin Yus words. He laughs coldly in his mind instead: Lets wait and see whos going to regret?



    Xiao Hei, you guard the Blood-red Cave. Ill take a trip to the Nine Demons Hall with these 3 fellas. Qin Yu tells Hei Yu through holy sense communication.

    Ill go with you, big brother. Xiao Hei slightly cold voice rises in Qin Yus mind.

    Ive reached the late Meteor stage so Im even faster than that Di Jian fella. You dont have to worry. If you go with me, youll make it difficult for me to handle the situation, do you understand? Qin Yu says frankly. Hei Yu is reasonable too so in the end he has no choice but to agree with Qin Yu.

    Hou Fei, you quickly take a detour to the Nine Demons Hall. Ill frequently tell you my location through a transmitter. Keep a distance of several tens thousand li from me. Im going to call you in when theres a good chance to play. Qin Yu has started to make arrangements.

    Hou Fei says via his holy sense in a totally excited manner: Kaka, this is really good. Im going to go one step ahead, big brother.



    The cave masters name is Qin Yu. He knows about the black jade case and the 8th jade sword. Could this jade sword be in his hands? A cold man dressed in a blood-red robe says to himself while holding a transmitter. There is an ice-cold smile on his face.

    Qin Yu, he must be mine!

    After saying so, this Lord Teng immediately messages the Azure Dragon Palaces overlord.

    His lordship has complete confidence in me but Im not really confident in myself. Lord Teng gives a forced smile. That Di Jian fella has also reached the late Dongxu stage like I have. My soul is even superior to his, but a Purple Demon aquatic dragon is much stronger than a horned dragon of the same level. Itll be hard for me to beat him.

    Lord Teng is very frustrated.

    His soul has reached the peak of the late Dongxu stage and is definitely superior to Di Jians but he knows that in a real fight, he will be no match for Di Jian.

    I can only use my wits to accomplish this mission. Fu Hao, that top-grade crystal I gave you last time isnt so easy to hold. Lord Teng immediately summons several guardians under him via holy sense communication.



    That cave master Qin Yu unexpectedly knows about the 8th jade sword! Lord Lou, who is broader than he is tall and has flabby flesh all over his body, is lying in a chair. He strokes his thin mustache: Looks like its time I got into action.

    He takes out a transmitter at once.

    After a while, he wipes the beads of sweat on his forehead: Alas, Grand Founder is still so hot-tempered. Last time he lost to Azure Dragon of the Azure Dragon Palace in fighting for the 7th jade sword and he has been upset by this ever since.

    Just now Lord Lou messaged the old freak Three-Eyed of the Blue Water Mansion and was given a strict order to get hold of Qin Yu and find the 8th jade sword.

    That Teng Shan fella will probably be fighting over this in secret too.

    Lord Lous pupils turn red completely in an instant, looking very strange and evil.



    Di Jian, Di Luan, Di Qing and Qin Yu are piercing through the water at the bottom of the ocean, causing turbulence wherever they go.

    Go a bit faster!

    Di Luan shouts at Qin Yu.

    7th majesty, this is my fastest speed already. Qin Yu replies in a powerless manner.

    When the 3 Di brothers were going to the Blood-red Cave, they used Di Luans speed because Di Luan is the slowest among them. However, now they are even returning to the Nine Demons Hall at half of that speed because Qin Yu is only half as fast as Di Luan.

    Even a late Yuanying fella can keep up with you! Di Qings facial expression is very unpleasant.

    Qin Yu puts on an innocent face: My speed is slow. What else can I do?

    Youre deliberately acting this way. As far as we know, you were very fast when you killed that old turtle Qing Xuan. Di Luan stares at him and rebukes angrily. But Qin Yu says powerlessly: That was my body-maneuvering skill, 7th majesty, whereas now Im going on my flying sword. My body-maneuvering skill is fast but my sword-riding speed is slow.

    His shamelessness finally angers the 3 majesties.

    Get on my flying sword. Ill give you a ride. Di Qing shouts.

    Arent you afraid of getting killed by me? Qin Yu looks at Di Qing with a smile. The latter immediately changes color in the face. He knows that Qin Yu is at least about as powerful as he himself is. If Qin Yu takes advantage of the close distance between them while riding on his flying sword with him to launch a sneak attack, then

    Ill give you a ride.

    Di Jian says in an ice-cold voice.

    Qin Yu immediately jumps on Di Jians flying sword in a happy and relaxed manner. As soon as he gets on the flying sword, a thick defensive layer of demonic elemental energy appears around Di Jians body. At the same time, Di Jians inborn body-protecting purple armor also appears.

    Looks like youre also afraid that Ill use a sneak attack. Qin Yu says smilingly.

    However he does not take any actions.

    Because he killed Di Tong last time, he already knew how frighteningly strong the defense of this purple armor is. And Di Jian is much stronger than Di Tong so he is unsure whether he can kill Di Jian in one hit. If he attacked and failed to one shot Di Jian, he would have to suffer Di Jians terrifying retaliation.

    As soon as Qin Yu gets on Di Jians flying sword, the going speed of the 4 of them doubles.

    After going for more than a month, they arrive at the Great Shell Cave.

    ..

    Ha-ha, my 3 majesties, to be honest, cave master Fu Hao really cares about you. He has even specifically built a Purple Demon Tower to welcome you. Qin Yu praises highly while looking at the magnificent Purple Demon Tower before him in appreciation.

    With jade-like skin and a plump body, Fu Hao looks very loveable.

    He moves his childlike lively eyes in a circle and hurriedly says with respect: My 3 majesties, last time you left urgently so you didnt have time to take a look at this Purple Demon Tower. All of the towers ladies-in-waiting are on the outside because I know that you dont like to be disturbed by them. If you need something, just order them directly.

    Di Qing, Di Jian and Di Luan look at the small two-story tower in front of them in very obvious satisfaction.

    This small 2-story tower cannot be considered luxurious but it looks unusual and has a very unique structure. Obviously Fu Hao gave it a lot of thought.

    Majesties, this Purple Demon Tower is intended for the Nine Demons Halls majesties like you so I wont use any of its rooms. Im going to casually find another place to stay. Qin Yu turns around with a smile. Cave master Fu Hao, can you arrange another place for me?

    Di Luan looks coldly at him, saying: You cant go. Youll stay in my room. My 2nd and 6th brothers will be next door.

    Your room? Dont you fear that Ill kill you? Qin Yu looks smilingly at Di Luan.

    Hearing this, Fu Hao slightly changes color in the face. He hurriedly bows and says with a smile: Majesties, I have no business here so Ill take my leave. If you need something, please feel free to order those ladies-in-waiting.

    6th brother likes quietude. 7th brother, Ill stay with this fella to keep watch on him, says Di Qing.

    In fact, experts do not like to stay with someone else, but now is not the time for Di Qing to be a stickler so he can only restrain this dislike. Qin Yu slightly considers in his mind. He can kill an unprepared Di Qing with certainty, but how can Di Qing possibly have no preparations?

    If he fails to kill Di Qing in one move, Di Jian in a room next door will definitely get into action.



    After getting back to his room, Fu Hao wipes the cold sweat on his head: Damn it, this time therell be a big affair. Lord Teng of the Azure Dragon Palace and Lord Lou of the Blue Water Mansion will definitely get into action tonight to snatch that cave master Qin Yu. There are also those 3 majesties.

    He thinks for a while then cannot help frowning: This is a headache, a real headache. Hopefully this wont involve me or else Ill surely die. It seems not easy to get something from the Azure Dragon Palace and the Blue Water Mansion.

    In the entire Great Shell Cave, Fu Hao is the only one who knows that tonight is going to be extraordinary.

    B6C13: A drop of blood

    The Purple Demon Towers structure is really unusual. There is a hexagonal hall connecting to the main entrance. Each side of the hexagon has a corridor. Except for the one that connects the hall with the entrance, the other 5 corridors have several rooms each.

    That is the first floor. Standing in the hall of this floor, one can see the endless ocean by looking up because the corresponding part of the hall on the 2nd floor is empty.

    This tower looks pretty good from the outside and its interior is even more pleasing to the eye and the mind. Qin Yu stands in the hall and observes the towers combination of various colors. He really wants to find out who designed this Purple Demon Tower because not only is its structure new and unique, its interior coloration is also extremely outstanding.

    Even the 3 Di brothers cannot help but give rare smiles.

    All right, lets go upstairs through the north corridor. Di Jian orders directly.

    Di Qing and Di Luan also nod. As for Qin Yu he simply has no right to disagree. Of course, he cannot be bothered to disagree either. Even though he is being escorted by the 3 majesties, there is an indifferent smile on his face all the time.

    It seems he does not worry about himself at all.

    Smile? Lets see if you can still smile after arriving in the Nine Demons Hall. Di Luan laughs coldly in his mind. He is already imagining Qin Yu getting absorbed by the terror jellyfish guardian.

    After getting on the 2nd floor, they go along the north corridor directly. There are rooms on either side of this corridor. Di Luan observes carefully then says to Di Jian and Di Qing: 2nd brother, 6th brother, Ill stay in this room on the left. 6th brother will stay in this room on the right. 2nd brother and Qin Yu will stay in the room in the middle.

    Good.

    Di Jian nods then immediately enters that room on the right. By contrast, Di Qing shouts at Qin Yu: Go inside with me, Qin Yu.

    Why so hot-tempered? Relax, relax! Qin Yu says smilingly then comes into the room in the middle in a relaxed manner at once.

    Di Luan warns from behind: Be careful, 2nd brother, this Qin Yu fella is no good and he is comparable to a middle Dongxu expert. You definitely cant let your guard down. Hearing Di Luans warning, Di Qing can only nod his head. But the look he gives Qin Yu becomes even fiercer.

    He cannot relax his concentration at any time.

    The 3 majesties know well that both the Azure Dragon Palace and the Blue Water Mansion probably do not want to let them return to the Nine Demons Hall safely. Therefore, even though they are currently inside the Great Shell Cave, they do not dare to treat anything lightly.

    After all, the Great Shell Cave is basically defenseless in the eyes of the Azure Dragon Palaces and the Blue Water Mansions experts.



    In the middle room, Di Qing is sitting with legs crossed and eyes closed, but his holy sense has surrounded Qin Yu completely as he cannot afford to let Qin Yu make any surreptitious moves. Qin Yu, however, has been well-behaved by sitting with legs crossed and eyes closed very quietly all along.

    Suddenly, Qin Yu opens his eyes and looks smilingly at Di Qing.

    Hey, 2nd majesty, calls he. Seeing Di Qing have no reactions, he immediately calls a bit louder: Di Qing! Even though Qin Yu cannot tell the Nine Demons Halls 9 majesties apart by appearances, he knows their names. Thus he knows that he is staying in the same room with Di Qing, the 2nd majesty.

    Di Qing frowns then opens his eyes and casts a glance at Qin Yu: Shut up!

    2nd majesty, youre a little bored, arent you? Lets have a chat with each other. Qin Yu stands up and walks towards Di Qing as if he wants to approach Di Qing, whose face changes color instantly. The defensive demonic elemental energy around Di Qing's body becomes stronger. His purple armor, however, already covered his body long ago.

    Stop.

    Di Qing shouts at Qin Yu. He is confident that he can defeat Qin Yu, but he thinks that the gap in power between them is not very big and, therefore, if Qin Yu uses a sneak attack when they are very near each other, he will either be killed or be badly injured.

    Why so jumpy? Even though Qin Yu says so, he stops upon seeing Di Qings careful behavior.

    Di Qing says coldly: Sit down on your own place, otherwise

    Before Di Qing can finish his sentence, Qin Yu hurriedly says: Alright, dont worry. Im going to go back and stop disturbing you. He is still smiling, seeming not angered at all. He then immediately returns to the place he was sitting on just now.

    Why so fussy?

    He talks to himself and sits down with legs crossed and eyes closed to quietly practice.

    Seeing this, Di Qing also shuts his eyes. But he does not dare to relax his holy sense one bit. Watching over Qin Yu is really not an easy job.

    Time flies. In the blink of an eye, 4 to 6 hours has passed.

    Qin Yu opens his eyes and takes a look at the rooms door before shutting them again immediately. But he thinks to himself: Given the Blue Water Mansions and the Azure Dragon Palaces influences, what I said last time in the main hall mustve been leaked out. They should come here tonight.

    Even if the 3 Di brothers had eliminated all the witnesses in the main hall that day, the same secret information would have still been leaked out because before the arrival of the 3 majesties Qin Yu had already made arrangements for it to be spread.

    His expectation is correct. The Azure Dragon Palaces and the Blue Water Mansions forces have both arrived.



    Thanks to a message from Fu Hao, Lord Lou knows that 3 majesties of the Nine Demons Hall are staying in the Purple Demon Tower with Qin Yu. He is currently hiding in an artificial mountain far from the tower and has suppressed his aura completely. Even if Lord Teng, whose power is comparable to his, were here, perhaps he would still not be detected.

    Lord Lous eyes have reverted to their normal green color.

    He strokes his thin moustache with a hint of relaxation on his face.

    This time even Di Jian has come here. In a real fight, I wont necessarily be a match for this Purple Demon aquatic dragon. Even if I can snatch that Qin Yu fella, itll be very hard to escape. I better hide here and wait for Teng Shan to get into action first. Maybe Ill be able to take advantage of the muddied waters.

    Lord Lou stays there watching the Purple Demon Tower alone with his entire attention. He does not dare to relax in the least.



    While Lord Lou has been in hiding for a long time, Lord Teng of the Azure Dragon Palace is different.

    Those fellas just entered the Purple Demon Tower so they must be tense. When they have rested for 6 hours and become totally relaxed, Ill secretly snatch that Qin Yu fella. Lord Teng is standing on a mountain peak of an underwater mountain range and looking at the Great Shell Cave in the distance.

    There are 5 guardians standing behind him.

    Time passes but his face is always solemn as if it is carved out of rock.

    Its about time.

    Lord Tengs eyes suddenly brighten. Concurrently with this, he says to the 5 guardians behind him through holy sense communication: All of you get ready. After I snatch Qin Yu and come back, youll have to obstruct that Di Jian fella.

    Yes sir!

    The 5 guardians bow and answer via their holy senses.

    They do not dare to say anything aloud for the moment even though the Great Shell Cave is very far from them because they cannot afford to take any chances. After all, Di Jian is a late Dongxu stage expert so his holy sense is incredibly formidable.

    Lord Teng pulls off his blood-red robe and sucks it into his spatial ring with a grab. He has to do this because a blood-red robe is fairly noticeable at the bottom of the ocean. Dressed completely in black, he then begins to rush towards the Great Shell Cave using only his physical power.

    Horned dragons are also demonic beasts with extremely strong bodies. Lord Teng therefore easily enters the Great Shell Cave then approaches the Purple Demon Tower directly.

    Lord Tengs body is indistinct so none of the Great Shell Caves members sees him. However, Lord Lou, who has been watching the surroundings of the Purple Demon Tower and waiting for him impatiently, has noticed him.

    Teng Shan has finally appeared. Its been such a long time.

    Lord Lou becomes totally excited. He stays still in hiding in the artificial mountain and focuses his entire attention on the Purple Demon Tower, waiting for the situation that will arise after Lord Teng comes into the tower.

    In a real fight, Im probably no match for Di Jian, but his holy sense is definitely inferior to mine. Lord Teng is completely sure about this because his soul has reached the peak of the late Dongxu stage. To be exact, it has touched the doorsill of the early Kongming stage.

    Therefore, it is no nonsense to say that his holy sense is stronger than Di Jians.

    Like a ghost, Lord Teng quietly enters the Purple Demon Tower through the secret door that Fu Hao told him about before. He then expands his holy sense until it covers the whole tower. He quickly discovers his targets location, that is, Qin Yu and Di Qings room.

    In the room next to Qin Yus room on the right, Di Jian suddenly opens his eyes.

    Just now, a tinge of fear appeared in his heart, but it vanished quickly. Di Jian does not know what is going on, but he becomes even more cautious and does not dare to loosen up anymore.

    Lord Teng goes into the north corridor of the 2nd floor like a gust of wind. His movements do not cause any sounds at all. He does not dare to even use one bit of his elemental energy either.

    Suddenly he stops.

    Its this room. His eyes brighten as he looks at Qin Yu and Di Qings room.

    I must hit in one move and badly injure that Di Qing fella right away. But I definitely cant kill him. Otherwise, given the tempers of those Nine Demons Halls brothers, theyll surely cause my Azure Dragon Palace trouble. Lord Teng has made up his mind. His eyes flash with fierceness.

    Hu!

    The door opens. Winds blow. A black light beam shoots into the room.

    Di Qing suddenly opens his eyes. Before he can utter a word, the opponent has already thrown a punch at him. He only has enough time to block it with an arm. A deep bang is heard, followed by the sounds of bones getting shattered. Di Qings right arm has been smashed and 2 of his breastbones have been broken.

    One was intentional while the other was unprepared.

    One is at the late Dongxu stage while the other is only at the middle Dongxu stage.

    One attacked with full power, aiming to hit and seriously injure the opponent in one strike, while the other hurriedly made a block.

    Therefore, it is impossible for Di Qing not to be badly injured!

    Who?!

    There is immediately a shout in the room next door on the right. Afterwards, an explosion is heard as a silhouette goes into Qin Yus room by breaking through the wall between the 2 rooms directly. However, by now, Lord Teng has already rushed up to Qin Yus side.

    He makes a grab at Qin Yu while saying via holy sense communication: Dont resist. Im here to save you.

    Qin Yu gives a faint smile and laughs inwardly: Youve finally come.

    Not resist?

    Can Qin Yu possibly not resist? He certainly cannot, because this is the chance he has been waiting for.

    Even though Lord Teng said so to Qin Yu using his holy sense, he does not think that Qin Yu is willing to be grabbed by him. Therefore, he executes this grab with all his might. Qin Yu reaches out his hands, which turn golden instantly.

    He then draws a circle in the air with his hands. His golden stellar energy forms a Tai Chi symbol.

    Bang!

    Qin Yus stellar energy and Lord Tengs grab collide with each other. That golden Tai Chi symbol can only last for a moment before falling apart. Afterwards --

    Ah!

    Qin Yu immediately utters a miserable cry and is sent flying powerlessly towards Di Qing. At this moment, with a furious expression, a maddened Di Jian shouts coldly: Teng Shan!!! He then charges at Teng Shan like a pouncing fierce tiger.

    Teng Shan knows at once that the situation is bad for him because he is no match for Di Jian. However, it will not be easy for Di Jian to defeat him either.

    Teng Shan!

    Compared to Di Jian, Di Luan has reacted even faster. He has broken into this room from the other side and blocked Teng Shans way directly. When Teng Shan sees Di Luan in front of him, a hint of disdain appears on his face. He immediately knocks Di Luan out of the Purple Demon Tower with a wave of his hand.

    He then rushes out through a window.

    Di Qing and Di Luan have been badly injured in quick succession.

    At this moment, Di Jian basically has no time to check on Di Qing and Di Luan. His first choice is to fight off Teng Shan immediately.

    Qin Yu is falling down helplessly. Judging by his trajectory, he should land beside Di Qing.

    However, when Qin Yu is about to touch the floor, his body accelerates strangely in an instant and shoots straight at Di Qing. The initial distance between them is too short while Qin Yu reaches his top speed in the blink of an eye.

    In addition to that, Di Qing is severely injured.

    Die.

    Qin Yus voice rises in Di Qings mind through holy sense communication. Badly-injured Di Qing is immediately terrified. At this moment, a short sword appears in Qin Yus palm. It is none other than the Flaming Sword. He thrusts it straight at the place hit by Teng Shan just now on Di Qings body.

    The purple armor at this place was already shattered by Teng Shans attack while Qin Yus sword is a top-grade holy weapon and a large amount of golden stellar energy has been channeled into the tip of the sword. In terms of offensive power, this sword strike even surpasses Teng Shans attack just now.

    Pu!

    A very soft sound is heard as Qin Yus Flaming Sword pierces into Di Qings chest and punctures his lung.

    Because the Flaming Sword is extremely thin like a cicadas wing, the wound is almost invisible.

    Seeing the ruthless look in Qin Yus eyes, Di Qing is horrified. He wants to flee at once using his yuanying but a stream of golden stellar energy comes out from the Flaming Sword and coils around his yuanying directly like a golden rope.

    Spare my life, Qin Yu. Spare my life. If you spare me, my brothers definitely wont harm you. Spare my life. As his life is hanging by a thread, Di Qing says in terror using his holy sense.

    Its too late!

    In an instant, the golden ropes far end, which is sharp like a needle, penetrates the yuanying. Di Qings soul is immediately destroyed. Qin Yu then falls to the floor beside Di Qing as if he is severely injured.

    As for Di Qings yuanying, he does not take it.

    The reason for this is that he wants to put the blame on Teng Shan. He makes his internal energy surge up, causing blood to come out of his mouth. After all, he has to fake his serious injuries convincingly. Qin Yu then lies powerlessly on the floor. His whole face is very pale.

    Suddenly, a silhouette rushes into the room. This is none other than Di Luan, who is holding a jade bottle in his hand.

    Why havent you taken a Jade Dawn Pill, 2nd brother?

    Now Di Luans injuries have mostly healed. However, as soon as he pulls Di Qing up, he is stupefied. His entire body freezes. In an instant, he lets out an anguished cry: 2nd brother!!!

    Only at this moment does a drop of blood begin to slowly come out from the wound that the Flaming Sword left on Di Qings body.

    B6C14: Nine Demons Hall

    Outside the Purple Demon Tower,

    This Di Jian fella is a real psycho. I havent snatched Qin Yu but he keeps chasing me. Teng Shan curses in his mind. He simply does not care about suppressing his aura anymore and runs away extremely fast like a black bolt of lightning. Di Jian is furious. He wants to teach Teng Shan a lesson no matter what.

    In the artificial mountain, Lord Lou sees 2 silhouettes flash by in the blink of an eye.

    This is excellent.

    Lord Lous plan has succeeded. He immediately rushes straight to the Purple Demon Tower like a flash. However, at this moment, Di Luans anguished cry rises:

    2nd brother!!!

    Hearing this cry, Di Jian, who is chasing after Teng Shan, suddenly stops. His face turns pale instantly. His entire bodys energy surges forth and he rushes back to the Purple Demon Tower even faster than he chased Teng Shan.

    Impossible. That Teng Shan fella couldnt have

    Di Jian consoles himself in his mind but when he has just rushed through that window of the Purple Demon Towers 2nd floor, he sees at a glance Di Qing lying in a corner of the room. At this moment, a silhouette grabs a pale-faced Qin Yu and breaks out of the tower from another room instantly.

    Quickly chase, 6th brother!

    Di Luan, who has just been badly injured again, shouts loudly.

    If Di Qing is already dead, it is pointless to grieve over him. Now, the most important thing to Di Jian is to snatch Qin Yu back.

    Qin Yu has been snatched and Di Qing has been killed.

    At the moment, Di Jians heart is filled with fury and hatred. He rushes towards that silhouette extremely fast. Di Jian quickly sees clearly that Qin Yus captor ahead of him is a fat man. In the whole underwater Xiuyao world, the only fat Xiuyaoist with such a high level of power is

    Lou Ke, stop or Ill kill you!

    Di Jian yells madly. At the same time, his speed is obviously faster than that of Lord Lou Ke. After all, Lou Ke is going while carrying someone else so naturally his speed has decreased quite a lot. In just a while, Di Jian is already about to catch up with Lou Ke.

    Crimson Toad, lets join forces and share Qin Yu, all right? A voice rises in Lou Kes mind through holy sense communication. It is none other than Teng Shans.

    Lou Ke is furious in his heart but seeing a maddened Di Jian, he reacts very quickly by saying through his holy sense: Alright, Horned Dragon. I accept your suggestion. Lets join forces to beat Di Jian first. And well share the secret about the jade sword that Qin Yu knows.

    Di Jians eyes have reddened.

    Di Qing, his 2nd brother, is already dead. In the previous several thousand years, no accidents happened to the 9 of them. Who could have thought that his 8th brother and 2nd brother would be killed successively during such a short period of time as the last couple of years?

    Di Jian, get the hell back, otherwise prepare to collect your 2nd brothers corpse.

    Teng Shan appears beside Lou Ke with a grim expression. Now Lou Ke has also stopped running. He casually puts a restrictive spell on Qin Yus body to render Qin Yu immovable then float side by side with Teng Shan in the water. Di Jian is facing them.

    Ha, Teng Shan, I didnt think youd dare to really get into action and kill Di Qing. Youre admirable, really admirable!

    Lou Ke says to Teng Shan.

    The latter says doubtfully: What are you saying? I dealt him a heavy blow but Im certain that I only badly injured him at most. You also know that the Nine Demons Halls pill-making art is famous in the overseas Xiuzhen world. As long as Di Qing isnt dead, he can definitely recover with ease.

    You didnt kill him? Just now I saw that he was dead already. You should admit it. Lou Ke says smilingly. But dont you worry, with the Azure Dragon Palaces overlord behind you, even though you killed Di Qing, what will that Nine Demons Hall dare do to you?

    Shut up!

    Di Jian shouts coldly all of a sudden. Meanwhile, Di Luan also rushes out and gives Teng Shan a look of hatred: Lord Teng, vice overlord Teng, youre someone of high status but my 2nd brother was also one of the Nine Demons Halls majesties. By killing my brother, youve become the enemy of the entire Nine Demons Hall.

    Teng Shan, prepare to die.

    Di Jians voice has become even colder.

    At this moment, Qin Yu, whose body has been imposed upon with a restrictive spell, is sitting on a coral reef. He raises his head to watch this scene.

    Come on, cause turbulence for me.

    Unlike the Qian Long continent, the overseas Xiuzhen world has very many experts. Jindan stage Xiuzhenists basically do not mean anything here. Yuanying stage Xiuzhenists can still be considered experts locally, but in the eyes of the major powers such as the Nine Demons Hall, only experts at the Dongxu stage or above have the right to take part in important issues.

    The 5 superpowers of the overseas Xiuzhen world are the Penglai Immortal Region, the Purple Flame Devilish Dungeon, the Azure Dragon Palace, the Nine Demons Hall and the Blue Water Mansion.

    Among them, 3 belong to underwater Xiuyaoists. The Azure Dragon Palace, the Nine Demons Hall and the Blue Water Mansion have been maintaining a state of balance for so many years, but now Qin Yu wants to make these 3 powers fight each other.

    His Blood-red Caves status must be improved. After all, he has had enough of the Nine Demons Halls oppression recently. Therefore, he wants to cause fighting between the Nine Demons Hall, the Azure Dragon Palace and the Blue Water Mansion first so that he can benefit from this as an onlooker.

    As Qin Yu watches from below, the argument between the parties above him heats up.

    The Azure Dragon Palace is strong and its overlord is the no. 1 overseas expert, but Teng Shan, youve killed my 2nd brother so you must die. Di Jian has made a resolution to kill Teng Shan. His entire aura becomes violent.

    Di Luan quickly moves back. He knows that if he stays, he will only make it difficult for his 6th brother.

    Did I really hit too hard? Teng Shan finds it somewhat unbelievable.

    Even though that punch broke some of Di Qings breastbones, Di Qing was a middle Dongxu stage expert, so how could he be killed so easily? But judging by Di Jians current expression, this is obviously real.

    Crimson Toad, this Di Jian fella really wants to fight already. Dont think too much. Lets fight him together. Humph, so what if I killed one of the Nine Demons Halls majesties? Why cant a vice overlord of the Azure Dragon Palace like me kill a Nine Demons Halls majesty?!

    Teng Shans manner has become obviously lordly.

    All right, Teng Shan, Im going to fight this Purple Demon aquatic dragon with you. Lou Ke also sends out killing intent from his body.

    In the eyes of the Azure Dragon Palace and the Blue Water Mansion, the Nine Demons Hall is the weakest of the 3 superpowers. The Azure Dragon Palace and the Blue Water Mansion are sustained by a top-class expert each. The Nine Demons Halls 9 majesties cannot compare with Overlord Azure Dragon or Old Freak Three-Eyed individually, but they have a few more middle Dongxu stage and late Dongxu stage experts and all of them are Purple Demon aquatic dragons.

    Growl ~~~

    Di Jian suddenly growls then transforms into a huge aquatic dragon that is nearly 100 m long and purple from head to toe. The row of purple spikes on the dragons back radiates a cold light. It immediately takes a swipe at Teng Shan and Lou Ke with its 2 front claws.

    Using true form from the beginning?!

    Teng Shan has also become angry. He raises his head and lets out a growl. A horned dragon that is also about 100 m long appears. This horned dragon is a bit thinner than the aquatic dragon but it is still much thicker than a water tank and the alternately blue and white markings on its body look extremely frightening.

    Croak croak ~~

    With strange croaks, Lou Kes whole body turns into a huge blood-red toad in an instant. This toad is 7 to 8 m tall and has a pair of staring eyes that look like balls. There is an indistinct blood-red light moving in the eyes.



    The Purple Demon aquatic dragon keeps growling and attacking by taking swipes with its claws, shooting its flying sword from its mouth, thrusting its single horn, swinging its tail and even sending out restrictive spells. This late Dongxu stage Purple Demon aquatic dragon is not only one level above Di Tong in power.

    How can Teng Shan and Lou Ke possibly flinch from facing Di Jians madness?

    The horned dragon has claw attacks that are not weaker than the Purple Demon aquatic dragons at all. Its body can even move a bit faster than that of the aquatic dragon, but it is inferior to the aquatic dragon in strength. And that crimson toad is very terrifyingly formidable because its entire body is covered in a blood-red mist.

    It is a poison, a deadly poison.

    Croak, croak.

    The crimson toad utters 2 strange croaks. Its cheeks become even larger than big drums. Afterwards, it opens its mouth and shoots out a blood-red flying sword. This flying sword is different from other flying swords because it is a poisoned sword.

    The Purple Demon aquatic dragon thus is up against 2 opponents, one being the horned dragon, which uses close-quarters attacks, and the other being the crimson toad, which attacks using its poisonous mist and poisoned sword.

    Their fight is so fierce that the battlefield becomes extremely murky.

    The whole Great Shell Cave has been alarmed but nobody dares to approach the battlefield. Even though that crimson toad is fighting so fiercely, he unexpectedly still remembers to set up a protective air shield around Qin Yu below him. It will be terrible if someone important like Qin Yu gets killed by the aftereffects of the fight between the 3 super experts.

    Growl ~~

    With a long, mad growl, a purple stream of energy charges at the horned dragon and the crimson toad like a storm. Both the horned dragon and the toad cannot help retreating. In an instant, they transform into their human forms.

    Teng Shan looks a bit of a mess. He says grudgingly: I never thought Di Jian would be so strong. Lets go, Crimson Toad. This time weve lost.

    He then immediately runs for his life, disregarding everything.

    The crimson toad is even more resolute. He flees at once without even caring about Qin Yu.

    6th brother. Di Luan has now rushed over. Di Jian has switched back to his human form, but he looks obviously disheveled. Demonic elemental energy is still vibrating around his whole body and his face is purple. Only after a while does his condition stabilize.

    Im all right. Di Jian lets out a breath.

    Afterwards, he breaks the restrictive spell on Qin Yus body with a wave of his hand.

    Di Luan looks at Qin Yu with his eyes full of detestation: Its only because of you. If not for you, how could my 2nd brother have died? When he finishes, he throws a palm strike. Because Qin Yu is pretending to be seriously injured, he can only move his head a bit to dodge.

    Pa!

    That palm strike, which originally was about to hit Qin Yus face, hits Qin Yus head.

    Dont be excessive, Di Luan. Otherwise, I wont go with you to the Nine Demons Hall even if you kill me. Qin Yu says while staring at Di Luan.

    Give him a Jade Dawn Pill, 7th brother, so that he can recover a bit faster.

    Di Luan is also sensible so he gives Qin Yu a pill. Qin Yu swallows it smilingly. That pill immediately turns into various clear streams which flow through his entire body. In an instant, the internal injuries that Qin Yu intentionally inflicted upon himself are healed. His power has even been improved a little.

    Its said that the Nine Demons Halls pills are famous in the overseas Xiuzhen world. You really live up to your reputation. Qin Yu praises highly.

    Di Luan, however, does not even take a look at him. If he did not know information about the 8th jade sword, Di Luan would probably torture him to death right away.

    Di Jian looks at the Great Shell Cave with a grim expression: Humph, 7th brother, weve been staying in the Great Shell Cave for just one night but those fellas from the Azure Dragon Palace and the Blue Water Mansion have already come here. There must be a spy in this cave. Its this spy who caused 2nd brothers death.

    There is a hint of madness in Di Luans eyes. He looks at the Great Shell Cave: What do you mean, 6th brother?


    Kill them all, from the cave master to the guards and servants. Well let none survive! Di Jians voice is exceptionally grim.

    Hearing that, Qin Yu is secretly startled.

    Kill them all?

    The Di brothers killed at will in his Blood-red Cave so he has been harboring a grudge against them for a long time. Therefore, this time he seized the opportunity to kill Di Qing and put the blame on someone else so determinedly. These members of the Nine Demons Hall are really too cruel.

    Now they want to slaughter the entire Great Shell Cave.

    Di Luan, Di Jian, there are more than 1000 Xiuyaoists in a cave. Only a very few of them are spies. You Even though he is ruthless, he finds this somewhat unacceptable.

    Shut up.

    Di Jian gives him a cold look.



    Bloody night,

    The whole Great Shell Cave is covered in blood. Di Jian and Di Luans massacre was really too terrifying. They transformed into 2 Purple Demon aquatic dragons and ran amok. Nobody in the Great Shell Cave was able to resist them.

    Qin Yu still remembers Fu Haos anguished dying cry.

    Go. From now on, were going straight back to the Nine Demons Hall without entering any caves. Di Luan has made a decision.

    Both Qin Yu and Di Luan get on Di Jians huge flying sword. The 3 of them are riding one flying sword together so their current speed is much faster than when they just left the Blood-red Cave. They thus head extremely fast for the Nine Demons Hall.



    After this fight, the Azure Dragon Palace and the Blue Water Mansion have both come out from behind the curtain. At the same time, the amity between the 3 superpowers has cracked. The 8th jade sword is the cause of this breakdown in relations between them.

    Because Di Jian and Di Luan massacred the Great Shell Cave, the other caves are all terrified.

    Luckily, afterwards they go straight back to the Nine Demons Hall without stopping at any caves. Otherwise, perhaps some cave masters would have become prostrate with fear.

    Di Qing is dead.

    The Nine Demons Hall immediately tries to call the Azure Dragon Palace to account, demanding to know why vice overlord Teng Shan killed Di Qing.

    Teng Shan does not admit killing Di Qing. He only admits that he badly injured Di Qing.

    However, that day, right after seriously injuring Di Qing with a punch, he tried to grab Qin Yu without checking carefully so he is uncertain whether he did not kill Di Qing. He thinks that there is a possibility his demonic elemental energy shook the yuanying and shattered the soul after damaging Di Qings chest.

    To sum up, in just about a year, the entire underwater Xiuyao world is shaken. At the same time, Qin Yus name and his connection with the 8th jade sword become known by everyone here.



    Outside the Nine Demons Hall,

    Di Long, Di Xu, Di Yang, Di Feng and Di Nai are standing side by side. Through their transmitters, they already know that Di Jian and Di Luan are about to return. In just a while, the 5 of them can see Di Jian, Di Luan and Qin Yu coming back on a flying sword in the distance.

    When Di Jian and Di Luan rush up to their 5 brothers, there is only pain on their faces.

    6th brother, 7th brother.

    Di Long and the other 4 brothers look at the 2 of them.

    2nd brother is dead.

    Di Jian slowly says. The eyes of the Di brothers all redden. Di Qings death is obviously a heavy blow to the remaining 7 brothers of the Nine Demons Hall. They only recover from their mournfulness after a long time. Di Luan then looks at Qin Yu, his eyes glittering with coldness: Brothers, this is Qin Yu.

    Di Long and the other 4 brothers all look at Qin Yu.

    To the Di brothers, both Di Tongs death and Di Qings death have to do with this Qin Yu fellow. Except for Di Long, who is still somewhat calm, all of them want to kill Qin Yu immediately to vent the hatred in their hearts.

    B6C15: Death sentence

    The Nine Demons Hall as a whole forms a Twelve Capital Gates Formation. 12 palaces have been built on the 12 eyes of the formation. Each palace has different structures such as gardens, courtyard houses, multi-story buildings, pavilions and so on. The 9 majesties live in 9 of the 12 palaces.

    The other 3 palaces are Universal Palace, Treasure Storing Palace and Main Hall Palace.

    At the moment, the Nine Demons Halls remaining 7 majesties and Qin Yu are in the main hall. The 7 majesties sit down according to their respective orders with Di Long sitting on a raised platform in the main hall. Qin Yu is the only one who is standing.

    With his back robe fluttering, he bows and says: Greetings, great majesty and the other majesties. I am Qin Yu, the Blood-red Caves master.

    He then faces the majesties smilingly in an indifferent and moderate manner.

    Because he is a princes son, he has been used to seeing great things since he was a kid. These Nine Demons Halls 7 majesties are powerful but their manners and appearances are not as splendid and sumptuous as mortal monarchs. After all, the number of Xiuyaoists is much smaller than the number of mortals.

    Qin Yu, I ask you, how did my 8th brother die? Di Long looks down at him from the raised platform and asks.

    Qin Yu says smilingly: Great majesty, can you allow me to give a brief account of myself before talking about 8th majestys death? If you listen to my story, youll probably know everything. He says with confidence and composure.

    The majesties on the lower end of the main hall are all somewhat impatient.

    These majesties know very well that if they immediately grab Qin Yu and let that terror jellyfish guardian eat him, they can know everything. However, there is one disadvantage in doing so, that is, they will not be able to ascertain whether guardian Terror Jellyfish will tell them the truth or not.

    All right, go ahead. Di Long is in no hurry either.

    Qin Yu nods his head then says: Originally, after making some achievements in practice, I left my school with my brother Hou Fei. We then wandered about and arrived at the Blood-red Ridge, where there are a lot of Xiuyaoists.

    Your school?

    The 7 majesties, including Di Long, frown because most Xiuyaoists practice by themselves using techniques which are taught to them by their own clans and very few Xiuyaoists have a school. Therefore, how can they possibly not be startled after Qin Yu mentioned his school?

    Qin Yu continues: Later in the Blood-red Ridge, I fought and became acquainted with Cha Ge and became a guardian of the Blood-red Cave as well. I asked my master for instructions and my master also thought that I should cultivate myself in the Blood-red Cave and improve my social skills.

    However, afterwards Qin Yus eyes dim, as if he is recalling what happened that one day.

    Di Long and the other majesties all become focused, knowing that Qin Yus story has reached an important point.

    A fierce fight broke out between 8th majesty and cave master Cha Hong on the caves underground secret floor. Cave master Cha Hong died in this fight and 8th majesty obtained the black jade case that Cha Hong had had to spend 100 years to open, and of course he obtained that 8th jade sword.

    There should have been a jade slip too, right? Di Long suddenly asks.

    I dont know. My master didnt tell me exactly what there were inside the case. Qin Yu answers naturally. But later a mysterious figure appeared all of a sudden and sneakily attack 8th majesty right away. The assailant was more powerful than him and used a sneak attack so he was killed on the spot.

    Damn!

    Bastard!

    Almost all of the majesties in the main hall immediately curse.

    Di Long, however, keeps questioning Qin Yu with a calm expression: Qin Yu, what you said sounds as if you saw this with your own eyes. How did you know?

    My master told me. Qin Yu replies smilingly.

    Di Long continues to ask: Then how did your master know? If your masters holy sense is so extraordinary that he could even know what was going on, why didnt he kill that mysterious killer to snatch the 8th jade sword?

    My master has marvelous abilities, why would he care about the 8th jade sword? He already knew about the legend of the 9 Swords long ago. When his holy sense discovered that black jade case, he immediately figured out everything. However, he follows the way of Heaven and is very aloof and proud so he did nothing, thinking that it was the mysterious killers destiny to obtain the jade sword. Qin Yu suddenly lets out a sigh.

    Alas, I knew nothing when that fight was going on either. If I had known beforehand, I wouldve asked my master to help. Perhaps 8th majestys life wouldve been saved. My master is aloof and proud but he cares a lot about me, his only disciple.

    Di Long nods his head.

    Suddenly --

    6th brother, you personally escort Qin Yu into Universal Palace. He is to be detained in the Kan 1 room. Di Long unexpectedly orders Di Jian to shut Qin Yu in a room of Universal Palace.

    Qin Yu has no objection either.

    Theres no need to use force, 6th majesty. Ill go with you. With your power, you dont have to worry that Ill run away, do you? Qin Yu immediately says as he sees Di Jian reaching out his hands intending to grab his own hands.

    Okay.

    Di Jian is confident in his own abilities so he immediately leads Qin Yu out of the main hall, heading for Universal Palace.

    Qin Yu does not know at all that Universal Palace is basically a prison. Moreover, it is where serious offenders are kept. The warders of Universal Palaces rooms are all extremely loyal guards of the Nine Demons Hall. It is very difficult to escape once locked up in here!



    Qin Yu and Di Jian are going forwards alongside each other on a road paved with blue stone.

    6th majesty, you brothers want to lock me up because youre afraid that Ill run away. But I wonder what you detain me this time for. Just now I should have already told you everything. Before letting me go, can you explain to me a bit?

    Qin Yu says to Di Jian enthusiastically.

    But the latters face is totally grim.

    In his eyes, Qin Yu is already dead. Letting Qin Yu go? After guardian Terror Jellyfish absorbs Qin Yu, there will not be even a corpse left

    Oh, this palace is called Treasure Storing Palace? There should be a lot of treasures here, right? Qin Yu, however, does not see many guards outside this palace. If it is really Treasure Storing Palace and contains valuable treasures, why are there so few guards here?

    Di Jian gives a rare nod: This is Treasure Storing Palace among the 12 palaces of the Nine Demons Hall. But we arent afraid of anyone stealing from it.

    Oh, how so? Qin Yu becomes curious.

    Di Jian says haughtily: Do you know what my Nine Demons Hall is best at?

    Making pills. Qin Yu immediately answers.

    There is a hint of satisfaction on Di Jians face: You should know that Xiuyaoists are generally inferior to humans in pill making and weapon forging, but the Nine Demons Halls art of pill making is comparable to those of the best pill making Xiuzhen schools thanks to this Treasure Storing House.

    Qin Yu listens attentively.

    Generally, good crystals to forge weapons are very valuable because top-grade holy weapons are highly attractive to experts like us. But top-grade crystals are extremely rare, so storage bracelets and spatial rings already have enough space for them. Theres no need for a Treasure Storing Palace.

    There is a rare note of excitement on Di Jians face as he is about to mention the Nine Demons Halls proudest achievement.

    This Treasure Storing Palace absorbs the life essence in nature, solar energy and so on through restrictive spells, holy-energy-gathering formations, high-level elemental-energy-gathering formations and many other profound formations. The palaces 8 large areas of land are used to plant various kinds of rare herbs. The hardest thing in pill making is to find materials. A single pill may need several tens materials. Since the ocean is huge, its difficult to gather them. Therefore we brothers have been trying to find rare herbs and transplant them into this palace.

    After listening, Qin Yu cannot help secretly praising the Nine Demons Hall.

    Transplanting?

    Suitable environments are very important to rare herbs. Some grow in hot places, some grow in cold places, some grow in dry places and some grow in shade. Therefore, it is easier said than done to grow them on a large scale.

    There is also another requirement, that is, patience.

    In general, it takes relatively long for rare herbs to grow. Of course, there are ones that only need several months to become fully developed, but there are also ones that need as long as even 100 years or 1000 years. According to legend, it takes some extremely rare herbs even several thousand years to more than 10,000 years to become full-grown.

    Generally, after planting rare herbs, one will have to wait patiently for several decades to several centuries on average to gather them. This patience is worthy of praise too.

    The Jade Dawn Pill you took is the Nine Demons Halls esoteric pill. It was made from some materials in Treasure Storing Palace. Di Jians face suddenly turns cold. He shouts at Qin Yu: Stop asking so much. Follow me.

    After saying so, he quickens his pace, heading for another palace.

    Qin Yu secretly laughs: Me? Isnt it you who couldnt control yourself and talked so much without a break just now? But this Treasure Storing Palace is really quite something.

    6th majesty, there are such rare herbs in Treasure Storing Palace, but why does it have so few guards? Qin Yu asks his original question again.

    Di Jian says with a cold laugh: Who would dare to steal from it? The 8 plantations are protected by the restrictive spells around them. If someone touches a restrictive spell, we brothers will know immediately. Also, whats the point of having a large number of ordinary guards here? Some are already enough.

    Qin Yu understands this so he stops asking.

    After a while, he and Di Jian arrive at the outside of a huge palace, which is none other than Universal Palace.

    The Nine Demons Halls 12 palaces are about the same in size. Each of them is 1 to 2 km long. Heaven knows how many years it will take mortals to finish building such large palaces. However, it is easy for Xiuyaoists to build them.

    6th majesty.

    The guards at the entrance of Universal Palace say after getting down on one knee.

    Di Jian nods then leads Qin Yu into the palace directly. As soon as Qin Yu enters the palace, he feels as if he is in a maze and has lost his sense of direction. There are only 8 directions, which are Kan, Li, Dui, Zhen, Xun, Qian, Kun, and Gen (*).

    Di Jian goes directly to the outside of a cell with a plate that says Kan 1 in the Kan direction. This prison cell is made entirely of a certain kind of black stone, looking very oppressive. Except for the door, the cell also has a window. It is only because of this that there is a little light in the cell.

    Open the door.

    Di Jian shouts at the guard of the Kan 1 cell.

    Frightened, that guard hurriedly executes the technique for opening and closing the cells door. Di Jian then looks at Qin Yu, who smilingly goes into the cell. The guard hurriedly executes that technique again to close the door.

    Good heavens! This entire Universal Palace is a huge formation and each cell is surrounded by restrictive spells. Even if I can destroy these black stone walls, I wont be able to break the spells. Qin Yu can feel the defense of the restrictive spells with his holy sense so he knows that he cannot break them.

    As for the window, though there seems to be nothing here, when he touches it, he discovers that it has a transparent restrictive layer.

    Qin Yu, you stay here quietly.

    Right after saying so, Di Jian turns around and leaves.

    This Kan direction has 8 prison cells from Kan 1 to Kan 8. Among them, Kan 1 is the one where the most important offenders are kept. Kan also tops the 8 directions.

    Kan 1, therefore, is the maximum security prison cell in Universal Palace.

    Whos that? Why are they locked up in Kan 1?

    Heaven knows. But it must be some formidable expert. Anyway, this is none of our business.


    These warders begin to chat with each other and guess at the identity of the prisoner in the most important cell.



    In the main hall, Di Jian has just returned.

    Summon guardian Terror Jellyfish.

    Di Long orders. As soon as this order is given, his brothers all know his meaning.

    He wants to let guardian Terror Jellyfish absorb Qin Yu.

    Big brother, according to Qin Yus words, his master seems very formidable. If what he said is true, once we kill him, his master will get furious and come to the Nine Demons Hall The 3rd brother Di Yang says worriedly.

    Di Long says with a smile: 3rd brother, youve been fooled by that brat. How can his master possibly be such an expert as he said? In the overseas Xiuzhen world, except for Old Freak Three-Eyed and Overlord Azure Dragon, is there anyone so powerful?

    Not necessarily, big brother. Dont you know that legend? In the southernmost area of this ocean, near the Chaotic Astral Ocean, there is an ancient teleport formation. Di Yang warns.

    Di Long says smilingly: Youre telling me his master comes from that place?

    Di Yang nods. The other majesties faces all become solemn. If Qin Yus master is really from that place, things will become a bit more complicated.

    Youve all become a bit too timid already. If you just believe it when someone boasts about their masters awesomeness, later will the Nine Demons Hall still be able to kill anyone? Also, have you thought carefully about what Qin Yu said just now?

    The other majesties all look at Di Long.

    He says at once: Qin Yu said that the 9 Swords dont deserve the attention of someone with awesome abilities like his master. Humph, the 9 Swords were left behind by an immortal. Perhaps even many inhabitants of that place would go mad over them, but his master unexpectedly doesnt care about them. This is a bit too exaggerating. Moreover

    After listening to this point, the other majesties also believe Di Long. Thats right. Who in this Xiuzhen world would not care about an immortal mansion?

    In the end Qin Yu said that his master was aloof and proud but cared a lot about him, the only disciple. Why did he say this in the end? He just wanted to let us know that there is a bogus super expert who cares about him very much to scare us all. Indeed, you were frightened, 3rd brother.

    Di Longs face changes color: If Qin Yus master was such a super expert, how could he have let us capture his disciple with such ease? I dont believe theres anyone who disdains the 9 Swords in the Xiuzhen world. All right, 3rd brother, quickly summon guardian Terror Jellyfish.

    Di Yang says immediately: Dont worry, big brother. Humph, just now I was fooled by that brat indeed. But this time he definitely wont escape. After guardian Terror Jellyfish absorbs him, not only will his soul be destroyed, not one bit of his body will remain either.

    He then goes summon guardian Terror Jellyfish at once.


    NOTE:

    (*): These are the 8 trigrams.

    B6C16: All in one go

    At guardian Terror Jellyfishs place,

    Di Yang goes to the outside of guardian Terror Jellyfishs place then immediately says via holy sense communication: Guardian Terror Jellyfish, Im 3rd majesty. Quickly come out and go with me to the main hall. My big brother got something important for you to do.

    In just a while, a lanky man walks out.

    This man is none other than guardian Terror Jellyfish. There are blue and yellow markings on his face. Seeing Di Yang, he salutes at once: 3rd majesty.

    Follow me.

    Di Yang and guardian Terror Jellyfish immediately go to the main hall together. However, a guard on one side of the guardians dwelling place suddenly takes out a transmitter and sends a message.



    On the vast surface of the ocean, there is a certain island that is several thousand li in both length and width. This island is full of black rocks and has very little vegetation so there is no Xiuxian school here.

    Teng Shan and Lou Ke are standing side by side on this island.

    Suddenly, Lou Ke takes out a transmitter and makes a sweep with his holy sense. He then says smilingly to Teng Shan: Teng Shan, just as I expected, the Nine Demons Hall wants that terror jellyfish to get into action and absorb Qin Yu directly to obtain his memories.

    Teng Shan says with a nod: I know this. My subordinate already messaged me. Qin Yu is being locked up in the Kan 1 cell.

    Kan 1? Its such an important prison cell. My subordinate isnt the warder of this cell. Lou Ke says with a shake of his head. Teng Shan, however, says smilingly: Your subordinate isnt, neither is mine, but my subordinate is the warder of Kan 2.

    Teng Shan immediately takes out a transmitter and sends a message.



    Outside the Kan 1 cell in Universal Palace,

    Brother Wang.

    Kan 2s warder calls Kan 1s warder.

    Keeping guard here every day is really boring. What is it in your hand, brother Yan? Wang Huais eyes brighten as he sees a crystal in Yan Zes hand. He knows at a glance that this is a high-grade crystal.

    Yan Ze says proudly: What do you think, brother Wang? This crystal of mine is not bad, right? Im going to ask someone to forge it into a high-grade holy weapon for me.

    Wang Huai says enviously: Oh my, high-grade crystal! Now I only have a middle-grade holy weapon. When will I ever you

    Shut up or Ill take your little life.

    Yan Ze has already thrust a short sword into the flesh on Wang Huais chest. He exerted his strength very precisely and pierced into the flesh only without damaging the heart. However, if Yan Ze makes his short sword go a little deeper, Wang Huai, who has only reached the late Jindan stage, will definitely be killed.

    What do you want, brother Yan? Wang Huai says in terror via his holy sense.

    Because Yan Zes short sword has pierced into his flesh, he basically has no way to resist. After all, a protective layer of demonic elemental energy is usually formed outside the body so stopping a weapon when it has entered the body is difficult. Moreover, Wang Huai knows that Yan Ze is not weaker than he is.

    Nothing, just open the door of your cell.

    Because his life is on the line, Wang Huai performs the technique for opening the door of his cell. This door is a slide door so it goes into the wall as that technique is executed.



    Qin Yu, who is sitting with legs crossed in his cell, sees through the window 2 warders unexpectedly approaching him. Suddenly, the warder named Wang Huai makes a sign with his hands, opening the door of the cell.

    Sir Qin Yu, my boss is vice overlord Teng Shan of the Azure Dragon Palace. He ordered me to save you. After getting out of this Universal Palace, if you go straight to the ocean surface then fly southwest about more than 200,000 li, youll see a black rock island. My boss and Lord Lou of the Blue Water Mansion are on that island so the Nine Demons Hall definitely wont be able to harm you.

    Yan Zes voice rises in Qin Yus mind through holy sense communication at just about the same time as when the door is opened.

    More than 200,000 li? Azure Dragon Palace? Blue Water Mansion?

    Qin Yu gives a smile and immediately goes out of the prison cell like a golden beam of light. He disappears from Universal Palace instantly at a fast speed. Both Yan Ze and Wang Huai cannot see his body clearly. Yan Ze then pierces Wang Huais heart in the blink of an eye.

    Wang Huai dies with his eyes wide opened in disbelief.

    The Kan direction has 8 prison cells but there are only 3 warders here with their respective cells being Kan 1, Kan 2 and Kan 3. After all, it will be a waste of resources to give every cell a warder. Having a warder at each of the 3 most important cells is enough.

    The 3 warders all know the techniques for opening the other 5 cells.

    Seeing Kan 1s door open and Yan Ze looking at him coldly, the warder of Kan 3 says very cleverly: Big brother Yan, Im no match for you. I definitely wont tell anyone about this. Please spare me.

    As that warder is talking, a transmitter appears in the hand put behind his back.

    Yan Ze nods his head smilingly, but he makes a wave of his sleeve all of a sudden. A green light which looks like a fishing net covers that warder instantly. That warders body turns into a thick liquid as soon as this happens and then vaporizes.

    Its time I left too. Otherwise, enraged by this, those majesties will surely kill me.

    But Qin Yu does not flee immediately. Given his power, basically nobody other than some of the majesties can detect him. And he is even totally confident that he will not lose to Di Jian and Di Long in speed.

    Theres no hurry. Isnt their Treasure Storing Palace highly valuable?

    He quietly heads for Treasure Storing Palace. His Lei Mountain House has a weapon-forging chamber as well as a pill-making chamber, but he has never used the latter because he has never had enough materials. After all, pill making requires very many materials.

    In just a while, he arrives at a corner of Treasure Storing Palace.

    This palace is huge, being 1 to 2 km in both length and width, but he looks at it very confidently because he has the Menghuan ring Lei Wei left behind, which is even superior to this Xiuzhen worlds so-called no. 1 spatial ring.

    The storage compartment of the spatial ring he obtained after killing Di Tong is only 100 to 200 m in both length and width. And, at least, a spatial ring with enough space for such a huge thing as this Treasure Storing Palace has never been seen in the overseas Xiuzhen world.

    You majesties take your time chatting in the main hall. Ill take Treasure Storing Palace away first.

    Qin Yu grabs a wall of this Treasure Storing Palace with a hand and immediately gives it a thought, however --

    A light suddenly flashes around the palace.

    His face changes color at once: No good. This palace is supported by an 8 Diagrams Formation under it. How can I take this palace under the suppression of this formation? He immediately expands his holy sense energy until it enfolds the whole Treasure Storing Palace.

    This palace is built according to the 8 diagrams and its foundations are also an 8 Diagrams Formation.



    In the main hall, the 7 majesties have just summoned guardian Terror Jellyfish.

    Theres no need to worry, guardian Terror Jellyfish. Well restrain that Qin Yu fella directly. All youll need to do is absorb him right away. But youll have to obtain all of his memories. Great majesty Di Long entrusts the task to guardian Terror Jellyfish.

    The guardian immediately takes the order: I

    This is bad. Someone is destroying the Nine Demons Halls foundations! Di Longs faces changes color. He makes a sweep with his holy sense at once then shouts: Someone is destroying the 8 Diagrams Formation at Treasure Storing Palace. Quickly follow me to that place, brothers. When he finishes, he has already rushed out of the main hall.

    The other 6 majesties, Di Yang, Di Xu, Di Feng, Di Jian, Di Luan and Di Nai, also rush to Treasure Storing Palace right after him.

    This palace is the most important among the Nine Demons Halls 12 palaces. If any other palace is lost, they can rebuild it. But Treasure Storing Palace is valuable because of the pills and rare herbs inside it, and not because of its structure. The Nine Demons Hall had to steal from many and search its 90 million li radius territory nonstop for more than 1000 years to amass those pills and rare herbs.



    Break!

    Holding the Flaming Sword, Qin Yu executes a fierce stab down on the Kan position of the formation. A green light flashes as his sword breaks the restrictive spell and pierces through the stone pillar of the formation base at this place. The Kan position has been destroyed.

    His body then moves extremely fast to the Li position like a golden beam of light.

    After channeling his entire golden stellar energy into the top-grade holy weapon Flaming Sword, he breaks the protective spell at this position and destroys the stone pillar underneath it with a sword strike. He then rushes to the next position, Dui.

    The strange changes at this Treasure Storing Palace mustve caught those majesties attention. I must speed up.

    Qin Yu has reached his maximum speed. Even though he is fast, the 7 majesties are not slow either because they are worrying about the safety of Treasure Storing Palace. Right after he destroys the 4th position in the formation base, they arrive at this palace.

    Stop him!

    Di Long orders even though he does not know why the opponent is destroying the foundations-stabilizing 8 Diagrams Formation. In his opinion, such a huge thing as Treasure Storing Palace definitely cannot be sucked into a spatial ring. But the enemy must be doing this for some reason.

    Therefore, what Di Long has to do now is stop the enemy.

    Di Yang, Di Xu, Di Feng, Di Jian, Di Luan and Di Nai immediately charge at that golden beam of light like 6 beams of light. The 6 of them want to surround Qin Yu. However, Qin Yu flashes by Di Yang easily with a shake of his body then destroys the Xun position directly with a sword strike.

    So its you, Qin Yu!

    Di Long quickly sees Qin Yus appearance and becomes furious. He does not understand how Qin Yu, who should have been locked up in the Kan 1 prison cell, can be here at the moment and is even destroying the foundations-stabilizing 8 Diagrams Formation. It is useless for him to think much so he charges straight at Qin Yu.

    Humph, stop me? My power is weaker than yours, but my speed and body-maneuvering skill

    A faint smile appears on the corners of his mouth. With an easy shake of his body, he flashes past Di Long on one side, leaving Di Long with a face full of disbelief. Then, using another sword strike, he destroys the Qian position. By now he has destroyed 6 positions in the formation base.

    I never thought he was so fast!

    Di Long finally understands why, according to the information he received, when Qin Yu killed the old turtle Qing Xuan, Qing Xuan was unable to block the only sword strike executed by Qin Yu. Judging from what happened just now, Qin Yus speed is even faster than his quite a lot.

    Ha-ha, want to stop me? Dream on!

    Qin Yu destroys the Kun position with yet another sword strike. His strange body-maneuvering skill and frightening speed make the majesties surrounding him extremely furious. Suddenly --

    9th majesty Di Nai stands on the last position, Gen, and says with loud laughs: Big brother, if we stand at this position, eventually hell have to face us head-on no matter how profound his body-maneuvering skill is and how fast he is.

    Happy expressions appear on the other majesties faces. Qin Yu, however, stops his body-maneuvering skill.

    9th majesty is really smart. But --

    From not moving, he reaches his top speed in the blink of an eye. His terrifying speed even causes a sonic boom. Holding the Flaming Sword, he flashes by a majesty then resolutely makes a slash at 9th majesty Di Nai.

    Di Nai is at the middle Dongxu stage so he can be a match for Qin Yu in a real fight. However, he is using his human form instead of his true form.

    Bang!

    Di Nais battle knife and Qin Yus short sword clash with each other directly. Right afterwards, Qin Yus Flaming Sword unexpectedly comes off his hand and falls down. Qin Yu, however, throws a punch at Di Nai. At the moment he is wearing the Flaming Gloves, which have been fully charged with his golden stellar energy.

    Fighting with the fists?

    As a demonic beast with a strong body, Di Nai certainly likes this.

    Ha!

    Di Nai suddenly shouts and smashes his right fist into Qin Yus fist. But he immediately feels an acute pain in his right hand. He hurriedly backs off and cannot help secretly being amazed by Qin Yus punch. At this moment, according to Qin Yus mental control, the Flaming Sword thrusts down at the floor.

    Bang!

    A flying sword unexpectedly blocks his Flaming Sword.

    Di Long is charging at him from the distance. The other 6 majesties are also charging at him. Having no time to think much, Qin Yu controls the Flaming Sword to block Di Longs then smashes a punch down on the stone pillar below him.

    Di Nai, who is nearest him, also throws a punch at his head.

    If Qin Yu shatters the stone pillar, his head will be smashed by Di Nai.

    Ha!

    Qin Yu clenches his teeth then suddenly ducks down towards the floor and twists his whole body at the same time. Di Nais punch hits his shoulder heavily, smashing its bones and bloodying it. But Qin Yus other hand has shattered the stone pillar.

    Kan, Li, Dui, Zhen, Xun, Qian, Kun and Gen, the 8 vital places in the formation base have been destroyed.

    The bones in one of Qin Yus shoulders have been exposed completely. He can feel continual acute pains coming from this shoulder but he tries to endure them. With a shake of his body, he evades 3 majesties in quick succession then touches Treasure Storing Palace.

    Come in!

    Qin Yu suddenly shouts.

    As if he is cleaving a mountain, and also as if he wants to release all of the pains in his shoulder by shouting, his shout resounds through the entire Nine Demons Hall. Concurrently with this, there is a shock wave as that huge Treasure Storing Palace disappears instantly.

    The Di brothers, who originally could still see a glimmer of hope, now can only see a large vacant area of land where, just moments ago, their precious Treasure Storing Palace was. Now they finally know that Qin Yu has a spatial ring that can store Treasure Storing Palace.

    Ha-ha, catch me if you can, you 7 little worms.

    Qin Yus loud laughter resounds through the Nine Demons Hall. At the same time, he rushes towards the black rock island that the Azure Dragon Palace and the Blue Water Mansion have prepared for him on the Flaming Sword at his fastest speed.

    Pursue! Pursue! Pursue!

    An extremely furious Di Long shouts like crazy. The other 6 majesties also turn their faces upwards and roar. The 7 majesties then turn into 7 Purple Demon aquatic dragons which are 100 m long each. With a swing of their tails, they chase after Qin Yu like lightning.

    End of b6c16.

    End of book 6.

    Book 7: Guests from all sides

    B7C1: Quarrel

    Qin Yu cuts through the water on his flying sword like a golden beam of light, heading straight southwest.

    Azure Dragon Palace, Blue Water Mansion, your calculations are really good, but his eyes flash with smartness, Im not so eager to seek protection for myself like you think. Since it has turned out this way, Ill escalate the situation even more.

    If Qin Yu rides his flying sword at his top speed using the Body-Weapon Unification technique, even Di Long, the fastest among the remaining 7 majesties, will be much slower than him. He will be faster than Di Long by at least 30 to 40 percent.

    However, at the moment he is unexpectedly just a bit faster than Di Long.

    Of course, Qin Yu is intentionally acting this way.

    The 7 furious Purple Demon aquatic dragons are rushing through the water frighteningly fast too. Now Di Long and Di Jian, the 2 most powerful of the Di brothers, can no longer wait for their brothers. They chase after Qin Yu closely ahead of the others.

    Directly behind them are Di Yang, Di Xu and Di Nai. These 3 majesties have all reached the middle Dongxu stage so their speeds are about the same as each other. The last 2 Purple Demon aquatic dragons are Di Luan and Di Feng. Being at the early Dongxu stage, these 2 majesties are the weakest.

    These 7 little worms dont give up indeed. I wonder what expressions Teng Shan and Lou Ke will have when they see the 7 little worms behind me upon my arrival in that black rock island. With a faint smile on the corners of his mouth, Qin Yu keeps piercing extremely fast through the water.

    Behind him, furious roars are heard continuously.

    Both Di Tongs death and the 8th jade sword are related to Qin Yu so how can these 7 brothers possibly let him go? What that has enraged them the most is that Qin Yu has even dared to flee with the entire Treasure Storing Palace, the most important palace of their Nine Demons Hall.

    Their dragon eyes are radiating frightening lights. Their ice-cold dragon scales do not experience any water resistance and their sharp claws make undercurrents at the bottom of the ocean roar even more fiercely.

    Ha-ha, catch me if you can, you 7 little worms.

    Qin Yus shouts resounds through an area of several hundred li in radius. Hearing them, the Nine Demons Halls 7 brothers become even more furious. However, at this moment, Qin Yus loud laughter unexpectedly goes straight upwards. In just an instant, he breaks out of the water surface and flies into the sky above the ocean.

    When Qin Yu sees the blue sky and white clouds, a pleasant feeling rises in his heart. It has been a long time since he last surfaced.

    Dont even think about escaping, Qin Yu!

    A rumbling voice is heard.

    Oh, these Purple Demon aquatic dragons can even talk human after switching to their true forms? Qin Yu is very surprised by this because, to his knowledge, animals throats are not suitable for speaking human languages. How can these Purple Demon aquatic dragons still talk human?

    Qin Yu does not know at all that the underwater Xiuyao world has a special technique called ventriloquism, which is performed using demonic elemental energy. This technique has no relation to a users power level but it is a highly skilled technique, and very few Xiuyaoists have been able to master it.

    Splash ~~

    In the blink of an eye, waves rise several tens meters and 2 huge Purple Demon aquatic dragons which are as thick as large water tanks and over 100 m long each break out of the water almost simultaneously. The dragons glare at Qin Yu, their wide opened eyes full of rage and killing intent.

    Covered in drops of water, the purple dragon scales glitter under the sunlight.

    Aquatic dragons coming out of the ocean is really a spectacular sight.

    Qin Yu flies straight southwest like a golden meteor. The 7 Purple Demon aquatic dragons chase closely after him nonstop while letting out series after series of furious roars.

    After coming out of the ocean, the aquatic dragons have slowed down a little whereas flying in the air is even more suitable for Qin Yu. However, he wants to lead them to that black rock island so he does not try to pull away from them at all.



    The Jinshan Island is an ordinary island of the overseas Xiuzhen world. This island is not very large, being only 1000 li in both length and width. There is only one school on the island, Jinshan school. It is also because of the Jinshan school that the island is called Jinshan Island.

    At the moment, several tens disciples of the Jinshan school are flying over the islands on their flying swords.

    Martial younger brother, youre riding your flying sword for the 1st time so you must be a bit careful not to fly too high. A powerful-built man tells a green-clad young man with fine delicate features like those of a girl.

    Yes, martial brother. The green-clad young man suppresses the excitement in his heart with effort then controls his flying sword to rise.

    He staggers from side to side, not daring to fly fast at all, nor daring to fly high. That martial brother watches him on one side and constantly reminds him about the knacks of flying. In just a while, the green-clad young man can already move somewhat more smoothly.

    All of a sudden --

    Whizz!

    A golden meteor shoots past the Jinshan Island through the sky directly above it, causing strong winds that bend the trees on the island.

    Ah!

    Blasted by the strong winds, the green-clad young man immediately utters a frightened cry. His body bends towards one side and is about to fall down. But he reacts very fast and controls his flying sword again right away. He finally manages to restore balance. However, at this moment

    Roar roar ~~~

    Dragon roars continuously resound through the sky of the Jinshan Island, making the faces of all of the islands Xiuzhenists change color greatly. Two over 100 m long Purple Demon aquatic dragons then fly past the island through its airspace, chasing after that golden meteor directly. After a while, 3 other Purple Demon aquatic dragons and then 2 others also flash by the island.

    Seeing 7 Purple Demon aquatic dragons fly through their sky in quick succession, all of the Xiuxianists on the Jinshan Island are so scared that they go pale. By now the headmaster of the Jinshan school has come out. He looks at that golden meteor and those 7 Purple Demon aquatic dragons in the distance with his eyes full of horror.

    Headmaster brother, arent they ? An old man beside him is also shocked.

    The headmaster says with a solemn expression: Yes, they are Purple Demon aquatic dragons. In the underwater Xiuyao world, only the 9 experts of the Nine Demons Hall are Purple Demon aquatic dragons. All of them have reached the Dongxu stage and are very powerful. Perhaps not even Kongming stage experts could do anything to them.

    7 experts of the Nine Demons Hall have come out to chase that golden meteor together. Who is that fellow Xiuxianist? The headmaster talks to himself.

    The Nine Demons Hall is a powerhouse comparable to the Penglai Immortal Region whereas his Jinshan schools no. 1 expert has only reached the late Yuanying stage so the Nine Demons Hall is on a totally different level from that of his school. Late Dongxu stage Di Jian and Di Long can definitely match early Kongming stage Xiuxianists in power.

    Stop watching, everybody. Those super experts power is already beyond your imagination. All of you should calm down and train hard.

    The Jinshan schools headmaster shouts to his disciples.

    Compared to those kinds of experts, common schools like this Jinshan school basically mean nothing.



    While flying, Qin Yu has to endure the acute pains in the shoulder whose flesh and most bones were destroyed by Di Nais punch. The pains are really piercing but he still has a faint indifferent smile on his face even though the corners of his eyes are slightly trembling.

    After flying for more than a half day, Qin Yu eventually sees a black rock island in the distance. Now there are only a few vague scars left on his injured shoulder.

    Grim Teng Shan is standing on a submerged rock, his blood-red robe flapping in the wind. As soon as he sees Qin Yu flying towards him like a golden meteor, he gives a faint smile. Standing beside him, Lou Ke also watches Qin Yu coming in the distance.

    Brother Qin Yu.

    Teng Shan says loudly.

    Lord Teng, Lord Lou, I was injured by these 7 little worms. I hope the 2 of you save me. Qin Yu shouts while holding his injured shoulder. At the same time, he flies in the black rock island and stands behind Teng Shan and Lou Ke.

    He then immediately takes out a transmitter: Fei Fei, Im on a surface island over 200,000 li to the southwest of the Nine Demons Hall. The island is full of black rocks. Quickly come here.

    Kaka, Ill be there very soon!

    After sending a message to Hou Fei, Qin Yu casually waits to see how Teng Shan and Lou Ke are going to handle the 7 furious majesties of the Nine Demons Hall.

    Seeing the 7 Purple Demon aquatic dragons arrive in quick succession, Teng Shan and Lou Ke cannot help giving a faint forced smile.

    Stop. Both of them say at the same time.

    Teng Shan represents the Azure Dragon Palace and Lou Ke represents the Blue Water Mansion so after they said that, not even Di Long dares to act as if he did not hear them. After all, in terms of overall power, the Nine Demons Hall is still slightly inferior to the Azure Dragon Palace and the Blue Water Mansion.

    With a flash of light, the 7 aquatic dragons instantly transform into 7 purple-robed men. The man in the front is none other than Di Long.

    Teng Shan, Lou Ke, what do you mean? Di Long shouts furiously at Teng Shan and Lou Ke without delay. The faces of his 6 brothers behind him are also full of anger. Now they want to capture Qin Yu at any cost, but Teng Shan and Lou Ke are unexpectedly obstructing them.

    Teng Shan gives a cough and says: Theres no need to be angry, Di Long. There seems to be no bitter feud between Qin Yu and your Nine Demons Hall, right? Di Tongs death doesnt necessarily have anything to do with Qin Yu either. So, why dont you make a little concession to my Azure Dragon Palace by letting Qin Yu go this time, majesty Di Long?

    Lou Ke also says: Di Long, my Blue Water Mansion

    Shut up!

    Di Long suddenly shouts with fury. His facial muscles are trembling and his eyes are radiating coldness. It is obvious that he is extremely furious: No feud? What do you know? He already stole even my Nine Demons Halls Treasure Storing Palace!

    Treasure Storing Palace?! What did you say?! It cant be Treasure Storing Palace!!! Even Lou Kes face changes color.

    Regarding the Nine Demons Hall, the only thing it has that the other 4 superpowers of the overseas Xiuzhen world are envious of is this Treasure Storing Palace.

    You must be joking, majesty Di Long. Everybody knows how big that Treasure Storing Palace is. If you say he took it with a spatial ring, as far as I know, the overseas Xiuzhen world seems to have never seen a spatial ring with enough space to contain it. If you say he took it with his hands, you can see he came here empty-handed, let alone the fact that he doesnt have the required terrifying strength to have done so, says Teng Shan.

    Di Jian says in an ice-cold voice: If you dont believe us, you can ask Qin Yu himself if he stole our Nine Demons Halls Treasure Storing Palace.

    Impossible.

    Lou Ke says that this is impossible but he still looks back at Qin Yu. Just tell me everything, brother Qin Yu. Theres no need to fear the Nine Demons Halls slanders. My Blue Water Mansion and the Azure Dragon Palace will support you, says Lou Ke very heroically.

    A faint embarrassed smile appears on Qin Yus face.

    Teng Shan says in disbelief: Impossible Have you really got a spatial ring that can contain Treasure Storing Palace?

    Di Long, Di Jian and the other 5 Di brothers all look coldly at Qin Yu.

    Its true. I took their Treasure Storing Palace. Qin Yu eventually admits.

    Both Teng Shan and Lou Ke look at him with popping eyes. Some guardians of the Azure Dragon Palace behind Teng Shan and some guardians of the Blue Water Mansion behind Lou Ke all look at him with fright as well.

    Snatching the Nine Demons Halls Treasure Storing Palace!

    This act alone can be called a miracle and is enough to spread Qin Yus name throughout the entire overseas Xiuzhen world.

    Di Long!

    Qin Yu suddenly looks at Di Long with a totally furious expression, shouting: You said I had stolen your Treasure Storing Palace. I admit this. But let me ask you something. You were preparing to have that guardian Terror Jellyfish absorb me and take my memories, right? Do you dare to speak the truth?!

    Di Long frowns but still says firmly: Yes, I admit this.

    Qin Yus facial expression is ice-cold and filled with killing intent: Humph, you wanted to kill me and even to take my memories. If not for my excellent escaping skill, I wouldve probably been dead by now. I spent almost a year following 3 majesties from the Blood-red Cave to the Nine Demons Hall and on the way I never tried to run away. I was so loyal to you but how did you treat me? You wanted to kill me! Compared to that intention of yours, my stealing Treasure Storing Palace doesnt mean anything.

    Qin Yu is extremely furious: Treasure Storing Palace is valuable, but its just an external thing. It cant compare to a life. Since you wanted to kill me, its justifiable I took your Treasure Storing Palace, right?

    Who do you think you are? Di Long looks disdainfully at Qin Yu. Youre merely the Blood-red Caves master. You shouldve felt greatly honored that I wanted to kill you. But not only werent you grateful, you even stole my Treasure Storing Palace. You dug your own grave by doing this.

    Qin Yu looks at Di Long and shakes his head: Majesty Di Long, at first I thought you could also be considered a hero, but now it looks like youre just a schmo. Since youve got no respect for me at all like that, why should I keep respecting you?

    With eyes that look like stars in a winter night, he gives Di Long a stare, saying: Di Long, in fact, given my masters status, its a great honor to you that I took your Treasure Storing Palace. But not only didnt you thank me, you even tried to hunt me down. You also dug your own grave.

    A moment ago Di Long said that Qin Yu should feel honored to be killed by him so now Qin Yu hits back by saying almost the same thing, showing no signs of concession. This makes the 7 majesties so angry that their bodies tremble and their faces turn purple.

    All of you listen. From now on, the Blood-red Cave wont take orders from the Nine Demons Hall anymore. The Nine Demons Hall is yours and the Blood-red Cave is mine. We no longer have anything to do with each other. If you still try to order me around, Ill make you pay!

    Qin Yu says with a cold laugh.

    Then he looks at Teng Shan and Lou Ke, saying: Lord Teng Shan, Lord Lou Ke, if the 2 of you fight off these 7 little worms, Ill not only be grateful to you, Ill also tell you everything I know about the 8th jade sword and even give you Treasure Storing Palace!

    Teng Shans and Lou Kes eyes glitter. To them, Treasure Storing Palace is even more attractive than the 8th jade sword.

    Qin Yu immediately looks at the 7 aquatic dragons and says indignantly: Anyone needs respect. I can give up Treasure Storing Palace, but I wont tolerate this disrespect. You 7 little worms listen, from here on in, I, Qin Yu, shall really oppose you!

    After hearing Qin Yus torrent of words, Di Long is boiling with killing intent. The 7 majesties all want to tear Qin Yu to pieces right away.

    Qin Yu, prepare to die! Di Long wants to get into action first.

    Teng Shan and Lou Ke exchange a look. They both have made their decisions. Teng Shan says immediately: Stop, majesty Di Long! Hearing his voice, Qin Yu gives a faint smile.

    End of b7c1.

    B7C2: Great Six Harmonies Heavenly Gates Formation

    With his eyes blazing with killing intent, Di Long looks angrily at Teng Shan and Lou Ke.

    Teng Shan, Lou Ke, could it be you 2 want to stop us 7 brothers from killing this little thief? Behind him, his 6 brothers are also looking at Teng Shan and Lou Ke angrily. It appears they will spring into action as soon as they hear a provocative word.

    Lou Ke, however, reaches out his hand and says: Majesty Di Long, last time my Grand Founder competed with Overlord Azure Dragon for the 7th jade sword. Eventually he lost and the sword was taken by Overlord Azure Dragon. Now the Azure Dragon Palace got 2 jade swords while my Blue Water Mansion got only one.

    One is still not enough?

    Of course Di Long only said so to himself in his mind. After all, he and his brothers are not confident that they can face someone so powerful like Old Freak Three-Eyed head on.

    My Grand Founder has always been upset about this. This time, after receiving some information about the 8th jade sword, he gave me a strict order to gather all of the available information about it at any cost. And Qin Yu knows the information about the 8th jade sword

    When Lou Ke talks to this point, the 7 Di brothers certainly understand his meaning.

    Di Long says with a cold laugh: You want the information about the 8th jade sword? Then lets make Qin Yu reveal it right now, okay?

    Di Long, Qin Yu looks at Di Long, why would I reveal it now as you want me to? Just who do you think you are? Humph. He utters a cold humph and continues: I already said, if you 7 little worms are fought off, Im going to reveal the information about the 8th jade sword. Otherwise, Id rather die than say anything.

    You shouldve heard that, shouldnt you, majesty Di Long. This Qin Yu fella is very stubborn. And my Grand Founder already gave a strict order Lou Ke looks at Di Long.

    The latters eyes glitter with coldness but he says nothing.

    What are you going to do if I really kill Qin Yu? Di Long looks at Lou Ke. It seems he does not care about what Lou Ke said at all.

    What am I going to do?

    Lou Ke bursts out laughing: Im no match for you, majesty Di Long, so I wont be able to do anything. But my Grand Founder wont be happy about this. Once he is unhappy, then

    Di Long and his brothers can notice the intimidation in Lou Kes words. The 6 Di brothers behind Di Long all glare angrily at Lou Ke, but Lou Ke just smiles calmly.

    Youre threatening me?! Di Long looks at Lou Ke.

    The latter folds his arms before his chest and says to the guardians behind him: My guardians, 7 majesties have come here today so were no match for them. We basically cant prevent them from doing whatever they want either.

    Those guardians nod their heads.

    Majesties, if the 7 of you kill Qin Yu, my Grand Founder will get angry. At that time, not even I will be able to help you even if I want.

    After saying so, Lou Ke shouts to his subordinates: Lets step aside so that we wont block the 7 majesties way.

    Yes sir!

    Lou Ke then leads the guardians under him flying to a height of several hundred meters above the black rock island.

    Majesty Di Long, my overlord also gave me an order to obtain the 8th jade sword at any cost. But if you want to kill Qin Yu, I certainly wont be able to stop you. Teng Shan appears to be very polite as well. You have to be sure of yourself to have made this decision, dont you, majesty Di Long? However, you must already know, once my overlord gets angry, an azure dragon like him can turn the world upside down.

    Lets step aside, guardians. We wont obstruct the 7 majesties either.

    Yes!

    His guardians all take the order respectfully. Afterwards, Teng Shan leads the guardians flying up to one side of Lou Ke. The 2 of them and the guardians behind them then stand in midair watching the 7 majesties.



    In just a while, there are only the Nine Demons Halls 7 majesties and Qin Yu remaining on the black rock island.

    Di Longs facial muscles are twitching and his eyes are flashing with coldness. Obviously he is being faced with an agonizing choice in his mind.

    Teng Shan and Lou Ke hold very high positions in the Azure Dragon Palace and the Blue Water Mansion. They can even be considered representatives of Overlord Azure Dragon and Old Freak Three-Eyed. After being threatened by both of them, Di Long has become hesitant!

    Big brother, its useless to think much. Lets kill Qin Yu immediately. Di Jians ice-cold voice rises.

    Di Longs eyes brighten. He then says angrily: Qin Yu stole my Nine Demons Halls Treasure Storing Palace. I cant ignore such a serious offense even if Overlord Azure Dragon and Grand Founder Three-Eyed personally come here. Brothers, lets stop worrying about the other things and kill Qin Yu right now.

    Yes!

    His 6 brothers, Di Xu, Di Yang, Di Jian, Di Feng, Di Luan and Di Nai, all say in agreement with him. Their voices resound through the sky.

    At first Di Long still wanted to get information about the 8th jade sword and the cause of Di Tongs death from Qin Yu, but now he has become so furious that he has given the order to kill Qin Yu on the spot immediately.



    Both Teng Shan and Lou Ke frown and take out their transmitters.

    Overlord, that Qin Yu fella unexpectedly stole the Nine Demons Halls Treasure Storing Palace so now the Nine Demons Hall is determined to kill him. Teng Shan only gives Overlord Azure Dragon a rough report of the situation. As for how his overlord will react, this is none of his business.

    Lou Ke also does the same by sending a message through his transmitter to Old Freak Three-Eyed.

    Lets enjoy this play, Lou Ke. That Qin Yu fella unexpectedly used a spatial ring that can contain Treasure Storing Palace. I think hes no ordinary. Standing in midair, Teng Shan watches the 7 majesties and Qin Yu in the distance on the black rock island.

    Lou Ke also looks on calmly.

    Teng Shan, I think even if the 7 majesties get into action at the same time, they wont necessarily catch Qin Yu with ease. Lou Ke still remembers that the 7 majesties were never able to catch up with Qin Yu while chasing him to this place. It is clear that Qin Yu is extremely fast.

    Its started.


    Teng Shans eyes brighten. He focuses his entire attention on the battlefield.



    Kill!

    Di Long lets out a shout. The 7 Di brothers immediately turn into 7 blurs and charge at Qin Yu.

    Youre really slow!

    Now Qin Yu no longer pretends to be injured. Facing the Di brothers powerful attacks, with a movement of his feet, he goes forwards instead of retreating. Like a ghost, he rushes towards Di Long, the most powerful on the battlefield.

    The initial distance between Di Long and Qin Yu is very short so they are already facing each other within their reach in just a moment.

    Pu!

    Di Long quickly throws a punch, which pierces straight into Qin Yus chest. Di Long cannot help feeling delighted, but he discovers in an instant that this Qin Yu in front of him unexpectedly does not bleed at all and is gradually vanishing away.

    It is Qin Yus afterimage.

    3rd brother, dont meet his fists with yours. Di Nai tells Di Yang through holy sense communication.

    But at just about the same time --

    Bang!

    Qin Yus and Di Yangs fists clash head-on with each other. Qin Yus body is as strong as that of a divine beast and he is wearing the Flaming Gloves so Di Yang naturally cannot withstand his punch. A crisp clack noise is heard and Di Yang immediately flies backwards with an injured right hand.

    Why didnt you tell me earlier? Di Yang says to Di Nai through his holy sense.

    I cant be blamed for this. Di Nai is also very frustrated.

    Qin Yus body turns into a golden beam of light. Even though he is using only 80 percent of his maximum speed, he is already somewhat faster than Di Long. After all, the 7 Di brothers are not using their true forms.

    Ganging up on me? This is what Im unafraid of the most.

    Qin Yu is not worried at all, and rightly so. Someone so good at using speed like him basically does not mind getting attacked by multiple opponents. Even if the enemies greatly outnumber him, they will not be able to surround him and practically he will only have to fight one enemy at a time.

    2 early Dongxu stage fellas, Im going to make them regret this.

    Qin Yu keeps dodging between the 7 Di brothers like a ghost. The Di brothers simply cannot stop him. After quite a while, they still have not been able to cause him even a scratch.

    Ha-ha, if I want to run away, youll never catch me with these slow speeds of yours. Qin Yu laughs out loud.

    The 7 Di brothers expressions look somewhat unpleasant. But they cannot help but admit that Qin Yus speed is indeed too fast. If he really wants to flee, they simply will not be able to stop him.

    Big brother, this bloke is too fast. Its pretty bad for us. Di Yang says via his holy sense.

    Di Xu also uses holy sense communication: Big brother, his fast speed is still a small matter. But if he runs away and we cant stop him, word will spread that this time our Nine Demons Hall failed to capture the enemy despite coming out in full force and even had Treasure Storing Palace taken away.

    Big brother, its time we decided what to do. Di Nai says through his holy sense as well.

    At the moment, as the big brother, Di Long should be the decision maker.

    Prepare to surround Qin Yu with the Great Six Harmonies Heavenly Gates Formation. Well then catch him like a turtle in a jar. Now 2nd brother is already dead so, Di Luan, Di Feng, the 2 of you will join forces to prepare the Water gate, the one with the most simple formation base. Di Long immediately tells his brothers through holy sense communication.

    Ill hold the Life gate. Di Jian, youll hold the Death gate.

    All right, says Di Jian in agreement.

    The Life and Death gates are the most powerful gates so they must be assigned to someone extremely powerful. Therefore, Di Long and Di Jian are going to be in charge of these 2 gates.

    Di Xu, youll hold the Sky gate. Di Yang, youll hold the Ground gate. Di Nai, youll hold the Fire gate.

    Di Yang, Di Xu and Di Nai all take the order using their holy senses.

    Di Luan, Di Feng, you 2 should have already known the method for setting up the Water gate, right? Pity 2nd brother is dead, so I can only rely on you. Now Di Long has no other choices either.

    Originally, among the Nine Demons Halls 9 brothers, Di Long and Di Jian were at the late Dongxu stage, 5 were at the middle Dongxu stage and only two were at the early Dongxu stage. But now, because Di Tong and Di Qing are already dead, they can only let Di Luan and Di Feng take part in setting up the formation.

    Dont worry, big brother, we wont disappoint you Ah!

    When Di Luan has just taken the order via his holy sense, a golden light beam shoots at him. It is none other than Qin Yu.

    An early Dongxu fella like you dares to hunt me down? Qin Yus voice rises in Di Luans mind through holy sense communication. At the same time, he throws a punch at Di Luan. This punch is so fast that Di Luan simply cannot dodge it and has no choice but to raise his arms to take it head-on.

    A sound of bones getting shattered is heard. Di Luan then makes use of the impact force to retreat.

    Die.

    Qin Yu closes in on him again and smashes another punch towards his head. Obviously he wants to kill him right away.

    Whizz!

    A flying sword thrusts at him.

    A flying swords direction can be changed at will so even Qin Yu does not dare to let this sword pierce into his body. He immediately forms a claw with his hand and stops the sword with a grab. But an extremely powerful amount of energy unexpectedly bursts out from the flying sword, shaking his hand off.

    Paying absolutely no attention to this, Qin Yu looks at Di Long, who has just sneakily attacked him, saying: Di Long, these 2 early Dongxu little worms must have a death wish to be trying to catch me.

    At the moment, Di Long is also frowning. He has obviously noticed that, facing Qin Yu, Di Luan and Di Feng seem to be unable to put up any resistance. If they stay here, they will be almost useless, and because Qin Yu is so fast, they may get killed by Qin Yu.

    7th brother, you and 5th brother leave here first.

    Di Long shouts. However, concurrently with this, he says via holy sense communication: 7th brother, 5th brother, you go more than 100 li to the north of this black rock island and prepare to begin setting up the formation.

    Di Yang, you get ready to

    After Di Long gives his orders, all the other majesties are ready.

    The Nine Demons Hall is called one of the 3 underwater superpowers, but I dont see anything special about you. Qin Yu says with loud laughter. At the same time, he unexpectedly accelerates a little. His body keeps flashing back and forth between various places like a golden beam of light and his 2 hands are his weapons.

    Because he is wearing the Flaming Gloves, his hands can collide with top-grade holy weapons squarely.

    Qin Yu can perform various kinds of attacks with his hands such as finger swords, knife hands, punches, and so on.

    Ha!

    Qin Yu suddenly appears in front of Di Xu and throws a fierce palm strike down towards Di Xus head using his right hand. When Qin Yu smashes a palm strike down with his right hand, he can even break a high-grade holy weapon into pieces, not to mention Di Xus head.

    A cudgel appears in Di Xus hands.

    Bang!

    Qin Yus palm strike, which carries an enormous force because he is descending from the sky, hits the cudgel. Nothing happens to the cudgel, but Qin Yus terrifying force passes through it to reach Di Xus hands.

    Di Xu basically cannot resist such a frighteningly powerful force and his body is sent smashing down onto the ground by Qin Yus palm strike like a meteorite.

    Ha-ha, next please!

    Qin Yus loud laughs resound through the battlefield. In the blink of an eye, he has already arrived at another place. He basically does not confront Di Jian or Di Long and is only willing to fight Di Yang, Di Xu and Di Nai one at a time.



    When Di Nai is approached extremely fast from behind by Qin Yu, he unexpectedly ignores Qin Yu and focuses his entire attention on his own hands. Even his eyes are focused on his hands. In an instant, his essence, his energy and his mind are focused completely on his hands.

    When essence, energy and mind are combined, they become the 3 internal harmonies.

    When the hands, the eyes, and the body are coordinated, they become the 3 external harmonies.

    The 3 internal harmonies and the 3 external ones are called the 6 harmonies.

    Fire!

    Di Nai sudden lets out a shout. Immediately, his essence, energy and mind rise to their peaks while his stance and movements reach perfection. At the same time, a dragon-shaped flame flies out from his body. Almost concurrently with this --

    Life!

    Death!

    Sky!

    Ground!

    Water!

    5 other shouts are heard and 5 other streams of energy soar into the sky nearly simultaneously. The 6 dragon-shaped streams of energy have different colors. When Qin Yu hits Di Nais body with a punch, he is immediately repelled by that stream of energy.

    The 6 gates, Qian, Kun, Life, Death, Water, and Fire, have been set up. The Great Six Harmonies Heavenly Gates Formation has been completed!

    In an instant, the several hundred li radius area within the formation is totally isolated from the outside.

    End of b7c2.

    B7C3: Hou Feis entrance

    Various energy streams of different colors intertwine with each other and surround an area of several hundred li in radius. This formations area of effect is huge to mortals but it is just like a small training ground to experts of Qin Yus and Di Longs caliber.

    Formation?

    When Qin Yu sees the Great Six Harmonies Heavenly Gates Formation before him, a chapter on formations in a Xiuzhen book he read previously springs to his mind.

    Its the Great Six Harmonies Heavenly Gates Formation. This is a bit troublesome. Qin Yu talks to himself. At the same time, he flies straight up into the sky. The Flaming Sword suddenly appears in his hand and he thrusts it directly at that barrier of light.

    As if Qin Yu has hit a very slippery and tough cloth, his sword unexpectedly just slides along the surface of that energy barrier.

    Its indeed the Great Six Harmonies Heavenly Gates Formation. Now he is totally sure.

    The Great Six Harmonies Heavenly Gates Formation belongs to the besieging type of formation and not to the others such as the illusive type and so on. But this formation blocks off every direction. In the formation, it is not possible to fly out through the sky, nor is it possible to go out through the ground. Qin Yu, therefore, can only move within its area of effect.

    Qin Yu, isnt your speed very fast? Di Longs voice resounds through the whole formation. At the moment Di Long is standing in midair within the formation looking at Qin Yu like a cat playing with a rat. The other majesties are standing behind him.

    The 7 Di brothers look down at Qin Yu as if they have got everything in the palms of their hands.

    Ha-ha ~~~ Di Long suddenly bursts into loud laughter with a savage facial expression. He then looks at Qin Yu angrily: Qin Yu, now you cant fly into the sky or go into the ground. I want to see how you are going to escape.

    Lets roll, brothers!

    Di Long shouts loudly. The majesties all dive down at once and charge at Qin Yu, except for Di Luan, who comes out of the Great Six Harmonies Heavenly Gates Formation because his arms are badly injured.

    Ill leave everything to you, brothers.

    Di Luans heart is full of hatred. He wants an opportunity to torment Qin Yu very much too, but after the bones in his arms were broken by Qin Yus heavy punch, his offense has been greatly reduced. He knows his own power and therefore he has exited the Great Six Harmonies Heavenly Gates Formation without delay.

    This formation is really fantastic because the ones who set it up can easily come into and get out of it whereas anybody else cannot.

    Dont worry, 7th brother. Just leave everything to us.

    The other 6 majesties promise him almost simultaneously. All of them are charging at Qin Yu while boiling with killing intent. This formations area of effect is only several hundred li in radius. The 6 majesties keep moving back and forth extremely fast attacking Qin Yu nonstop.

    Now Qin Yu uses his body-maneuvering skill to the fullest. He does not dare to face Di Jian or Di Long head-on and can only sneakily attack them a little, but he dares to fight the other majesties directly.

    Ha-ha

    Qin Yu suddenly appears right in front of Di Feng, which terrifies Di Feng.

    He throws a punch, immediately causing a sonic boom. The Flaming Gloves fit his fingers perfectly. Qin Yus fist pierces through the air, coming at Di Fengs face with a frightening force.

    A world-shaking punch!

    Even though Di Feng is terrified, he still understands that, at this moment, if he tries to dodge, he will have absolutely no chance of surviving.

    He has to go all out!

    With reddening eyes, Di Feng immediately makes a block using his 2 arms. At the same time, his purple armor totally appears on the surface of his body. His powerful protective demonic elemental energy is also moving continuously around his body. That world-shaking punch by Qin Yu then smashes into Di Fengs arms.

    A series of noises of bones getting shattered is heard. Di Fengs arms are unexpectedly broken into pieces and their bones are smashed. Flesh fragments and blood are scattered around.

    5th brother!

    Di Long shouts loudly. However, because Qin Yu is too fast, it is simply impossible for the other Di brothers to save Di Feng, whose eyes suddenly flash with a hint of madness. When his arms are smashed, he makes use of the force of Qin Yus punch to back away very quickly.

    His retreating speed is fast but Qin Yus fist is even faster.

    Bang!

    After destroying Di Fengs arms, Qin Yus punch proceeds to smash into Di Fengs chest with a bang.

    Di Feng now retreats even faster than he did just now. In only a moment, the other 5 majesties, Di Jian, Di Long, Di Yang, Di Xu and Di Nai, charge at Qin Yu almost simultaneously. Facing these 5 furious brothers, Qin Yu has no choice but to fly backwards.

    5th brother.

    Di Long helps Di Feng get up, his face full of nervousness.

    Di Feng clenches his teeth, saying: Im okay, big brother. Its just that my arms have been destroyed. Later I can only rely on my legs and holy weapon to attack. This Qin Yu blokes punch was formidable but my arms neutralized part of its offensive force and I was backing away and wearing the purple armor so my body wasnt seriously injured.

    His arms have been destroyed but at the moment Di Feng does not care about this in the least.

    Big brother, you have to avenge 8th brothers death, and take revenge for my destroyed arms as well. You must kill Qin Yu. Im getting out of the formation first. After saying so, Di Feng immediately flies out of the Great Six Harmonies Heavenly Gates Formation, not dejected at all.

    However, because of the destruction of his arms, his heart is filled with hatred for Qin Yu.

    Now Di Long detests Qin Yu even more.

    The 5 Di brothers in the formation surround and attack Qin Yu but Qin Yu does not mind this and keeps evading them.

    Di Long.

    While dodging, Qin Yu says: You already knew those 2 early Dongxu little worms are basically no match for me. That Di Luan fella is smart so he left right from the beginning. But Di Feng didnt. He mustve had a death wish! As their big brother, youre also a silly worm.

    Di Longs rage rises to the sky.

    Right after successfully setting up the Great Six Harmonies Heavenly Gates Formation, the Di brothers all considered Qin Yu a turtle in a jar and wanted to kill him quickly. Di Luan had to exit the formation only because he had been seriously injured by Qin Yu before.

    Boiling with rage, the majesties simply did not remember that even though Qin Yu had been confined in the formation, he was not so easy for them to kill either.

    Kill!

    Di Long, who is so furious that his eyes have reddened, growls through his teeth then charges at Qin Yu. The other 4 majesties also execute their techniques to attack Qin Yu. Their holy weapons, long-distance attacks and close-quarters attacks can be seen everywhere within the formation.

    Outside the black rock island, Teng Shan and Lou Ke are standing side by side. Their guardians are standing in midair silently behind them.

    All of them are watching Qin Yu single-handedly taking on 5 majesties in the Great Six Harmonies Heavenly Gates Formation. Qin Yu is moving very fast like a golden beam of light, but the 5 majesties have wised up and the 3 middle Dongxu stage majesties are now working together as a team.

    Di Long is one prong of the attack, Di Jian is another prong and the other 3, Di Xu, Di Yang and Di Nai, form yet another prong. Qin Yu cannot resist any of the 3 prongs of their attack.

    Lou Ke, youre very smart, arent you? How long do you think Qin Yu can hang on for? Teng Shan asks smilingly. At the moment he basically does not think that Qin Yu will be able to escape alive.

    Even though Qin Yu is extremely fast, to move so fast nonstop, he has to consume quite a lot of stellar energy.

    How long? If those 5 majesties of the Nine Demons Hall keep chasing him so foolishly, I think perhaps they wont be able to catch or kill Qin Yu. Lou Ke looks very confident.

    Teng Shan, however, does not agree with him.

    Lou Ke, could it be you dont know this Great Six Harmonies Heavenly Gates Formation? It completely isolates everything inside it from the outside. Not even the holy energy in nature can go into this formation. That Qin Yu fella is fast but he must be using a lot of energy to be fighting so fiercely. After some time, when all of the holy energy within the formation has been absorbed, theyll have no choice but to use the energy inside their bodies.

    Teng Shan says very confidently: If they use their internal energy, Qin Yu will probably run out of energy within 3 days, but how about the 5 majesties? Firstly, they got pills so they can take pills to replenish their demonic elemental energy. And secondly, they set up the formation so they can come out to recover whereas Qin Yu cant. Though they have always been unable to catch Qin Yu, in the end Qin Yu will be captured when his energy is used up.

    Wrong.

    Lou Ke says smilingly.

    Teng Shan says with a frown: Why? I cant see how Qin Yu can escape alive.

    Lou Ke laughs out loud: Has your mind become rigid, Teng Shan? Yes, in a normal situation, Qin Yu would be dead. But dont forget that both my Grand Founder and your overlord are rushing to this place. 3 days? My Grand Founder already made preparations long ago. Perhaps hell arrive in less than a day

    Ha-ha, I got it.

    Teng Shan suddenly understands: Once my Overlord Azure Dragon and your Grand Founder Three-Eyed come here, if Qin Yu is still living, his life will no longer be decided by those Nine Demons Halls majesties. This Great Six Harmonies Heavenly Gates Formations defense is formidable and to break it your offense must be stronger than the combined defense of the 6 who set it up. But if my overlord wants to break the formation, thisll be a piece of cake.

    Qin Yu is the key to the 8th jade sword and Treasure Storing Palace.

    Once Overlord Azure Dragon and Old Freak Three-Eyed have rushed to this place, how can they possibly let him get killed by those 5 majesties? They will definitely break the formation and seize Qin Yu directly.

    Qin Yu is faster than Di Long and Di Jian, but he is still fairly slower than a divine beast azure dragon at the early Kongming stage and a divine beast Three-Blue-Eyed toad at the late Dongxu stage.

    Even though that Three-Blue-Eyed toad has only reached the late Dongxu stage, he is a divine beast. If he really goes mad and is willing to risk serious injuries, he can single-handedly defeat the Nine Demons Halls brothers. Yes, he will defeat them rather than be merely a match for them. Three-Blue-Eyed toads are really no ordinary divine beasts.

    That 3rd eye has terrifyingly strong offense. Azure Dragon has reached the early Kongming stage but he still does not dare to block the attack of the toads 3rd eye head-on. It is because of this that Overlord Azure Dragon and Old Freak Three-Eyed are considered experts of the same tier by everybody.

    Azure Dragon is a divine beast and has reached the early Kongming stage so he can absolutely rival Dujie stage Xiuxianists in power.

    The overseas Xiuzhen world has no Dujie stage Xiuxianists so it is normal that Azure Dragon is called the no. 1 expert here.

    That Qin Yu fella is pretty strong, but hes still ineligible to compete with the 3 superpowers. He lacks power but he has obtained Treasure Storing Palace and even knows information about the 8th jade sword. Oh, he also got a spatial ring that can contain Treasure Storing Palace. These are enough to cost him his life. Teng Shan says with a sigh.

    Lou Ke nods his head.

    The owner of a treasure should also have enough power to deter potential robbers. Otherwise, the treasure will only cause the owner to be robbed by strong individuals.

    Given his power, Qin Yu can be regarded as an expert in the overseas Xiuzhen world, but he is not even a match for Di Jian or Di Long of the Nine Demons Hall and is only a bit stronger than Di Yang, Di Xu and Di Nai, let alone Overlord Azure Dragon and Old Freak Three-Eyed. Therefore, naturally he has been and will be bullied by the superpowers.

    For example, when he demanded to know why Di Long had wanted to kill him, Di Long answered that he should feel grateful to be killed by Di Long!

    The Xiuzhen world is a survival-of-the-fittest world. Di Longs reply was provocative and arrogant, but it also reflects some rules of the Xiuzhen world.

    Take, for example, Teng Shan. Even though he is not a super expert and the Nine Demons Halls brothers think that he killed Di Qing, they have only reproached the Azure Dragon Palace and do not dare to kill him before getting permission from the Azure Dragon Palaces overlord.

    The reason for this is that Teng Shan is backed by the overseas Xiuzhen worlds no. 1 expert, Overlord Azure Dragon!

    If they were to kill Teng Shan, Overlord Azure Dragon would probably be enraged and destroy the Nine Demons Hall directly.

    When Lou Ke and Teng Shan are chatting with each other, suddenly --

    Illusion Spreading Sword Art -- Dawn Breaking!

    Qin Yus loud shouts echo nonstop. At this moment, a sword shape dazzling like the sun is already piercing through the air, shooting at Di Yang.

    Di Yang hurriedly controls his sword to defend. Di Xu and Di Nai beside him also help him defend.

    However, after this Dawn Breaking move is executed, the 3 of them can only feel as if there is a dazzling sun before their eyes. At the same time, that sword shape is also vague and impossible for them to lock onto. They basically cannot find out exactly where the sword shape is aiming for.

    Di Yang, Di Xu and Di Nai cannot help getting nervous.

    Protect your vital points!

    Di Long immediately tells these 3 brothers of his through holy sense communication.

    Di Yang, Di Xu and Di Nai come to their senses at once. No matter how evasive Qin Yus sword art is, its purpose is to injure his opponents, which requires it to hit the opponents bodies. Therefore, the 3 of them will be all right as long as they protect their vital points.

    Under the dazzling sunlight, it seems that extremely fast incoming sword shape sometimes moves up 20 to 30 cm, sometimes moves down 20 to 30 cm, sometimes moves left 20 to 30 cm and sometimes moves right 20 to 30 cm.

    There is only one sword but it looks as if there are several swords.

    Bang!

    Qin Yus sword strike hits Di Xus long stick. Di Yang, Di Xu and Di Nai are frightened when they think about what has just happened.

    Be careful, everybody. Dont be reckless. This Qin Yu fella is good at using Xiuxianists flying sword arts. Di Long hurriedly warns his brothers.

    However Qin Yu starts dodging nonstop again. He will not easily attack once more. That sword strike just now is a formidable move of the Illusion Spreading Sword Art and it also uses a great amount of energy. Qin Yu, therefore, immediately absorbs natural holy energy to replenish his own energy.

    Fei Fei, when will you arrive? He asks, holding a transmitter in his hand.

    Soon, big brother, just wait for a while. Hou Fei is also rushing to this island.

    When Qin Yu is absorbing the holy energy in nature, he suddenly notices that its density is shockingly low.

    Whats going on? Qin Yu expands his holy sense and is amazed to discover that the holy energy outside the Great Six Harmonies Heavenly Gates Formation cannot go inside because it is blocked by the formation. Moreover, the 5 majesties are also absorbing holy energy as fast as they can. Obviously they want to quickly exhaust the holy energy within the formations barrier.

    Qin Yu immediately has a bad feeling.

    Judging by the fact that Di Feng and Di Luan came out easily, he knows that those who set up the formation can leave with no difficulties, which also means that the enemies can come out to recharge their energy whereas he cannot. There are still the yuanyings of some Blood-red Cave guardians left in his spatial ring, but refining a yuanying is not as simple as absorbing natural holy energy.

    Ive come, big brother!

    Hou Fei suddenly sends a message to Qin Yu. In just a short time --

    A rumbling is heard. A monkey then appears in front of Di Feng. At the same time, he swings a black stick at Di Feng with a tremendous force. Because the stick cuts through the air so fast, there is not even a sonic boom.

    Di Feng looks at that black stick, which arrives at his face in an instant, with popping eyes. He simply has no time to react.

    Boom!

    It smashes down on his head. Di Fengs head is immediately shattered. The black sticks terrifying force even breaks Di Fengs body and bones into pieces. His blood and flesh fragments are scattered all over the air. Not far from Di Feng, Di Luan has been scared stiff.

    The 5 majesties in the Great Six Harmonies Heavenly Gates Formation also watch this scene in stupefaction.

    Teng Shan, Lou Ke and the guardians behind them are all startled. For the moment, their minds still have not reacted to this. Even Qin Yu in the Great Six Harmonies Heavenly Gates Formation is scared stiff by the performance Hou Fei put in upon making his entrance.

    B7C4: Overlord Azure Dragon

    Everybody at the scene, including the Nine Demons Halls majesties, Teng Shan and Lou Ke, never thought that someone would suddenly appear and mercilessly kill one of the majesties with a stick strike.

    Still want to run?!

    Hou Fei forms a claw with his hand and immediately catches a yuanying, which shouts miserably right away: Quickly save me, brothers.

    This yuanying is none other than Di Fengs yuanying. Di Fengs head was smashed by Hou Feis stick from the beginning, but the moment this happened, he immediately combined his soul with his yuanying and wanted to run away. Once he had flown to the side of his brothers, his life would be saved.

    After all, even though he would have to practice as a loose demon, this would still be better than losing his life. Di Feng does not want to die yet.

    Stop. Di Long shouts loudly and gets ready to rush out of the formation at the same time.

    Holding Di Fengs yuanying firmly in his hand, Hou Fei shouts at once: Stop. Stop there for me. If you take one more step, Im going to destroy his soul immediately. The other guys also stop for me. If you move, humph, humph Hou Feis hand begins to brighten with various streams of demonic elemental energy.

    Seeing the demonic elemental energy on his hand and the small yuanying being wrapped in the energy, Di Long and the other 4 majesties in the formation no longer dare to move even a step despite being very anxious. After all, Di Fengs life is currently in Hou Feis hands.

    Di Luan, who is not far from Hou Fei, is even more afraid of making a move. Given how easily Hou Fei demolished Di Feng and that his power is about the same as Di Fengs, it will definitely not difficult for Hou Fei to kill him.

    Dont be impulsive. You should know that you have just attacked one of the Nine Demons Halls majesties. If you let my 5th brother go, Ill ignore what happened just now. What do you think, monkey brother? Di Long hurriedly says.

    Now is not the time for him and his brothers to avenge Di Feng. It will already be not bad if they can save Di Fengs yuanying.

    Hou Fei. Hes the Blood-red Caves 2nd master Hou Fei!

    Di Luan says at once. When he, Di Jian and Di Qing came to the Blood-red Cave before, he already saw Hou Fei, but at that time Qin Yu lied about Hou Feis true power to make him overlook Hou Fei. Who could have thought Hou Fei would be so formidable?

    The Blood-red Caves 2nd master?

    Di Long, Di Jian and the other majesties are astonished. At the same time, they secretly have a bad feeling. Moments ago they were trying to kill Qin Yu, but now their brothers life has fallen into the hands of the enemys brother. This is really terrible.

    I never thought this Qin Yu fella was so tough. Not only is he pretty strong, even his brother is so formidable.

    Lou Ke praises smilingly.

    Teng Shan, who is also looking on, nods with a smile.

    At first I thought it would be a one-sided game, but now looks like its getting more and more interesting. However, once my overlord and your boss come, this play wont be suspenseful anymore. Teng Shan says smilingly. Now lets enjoy the excellent show of brother Qin Yu and the Nine Demons Halls brothers.

    Whatever is going on does not affect them so Lou Ke, Teng Shan and their subordinates will simply keep looking on.

    Qin Yu gives Hou Fei a thumb up from inside the formation.

    Fei Fei, you did pretty well. He says laughingly at once.

    Hou Fei is very pleased with himself. Still holding Di Fengs yuanying in his furry large hand, he casts a glance at Di Long and the other Di brothers: All of you listen up. Remove that formation right now and let my big brother come out, or else dont blame me

    After saying so, he intensifies the demonic elemental energy on his hand. However, he knows exactly when to stop so his energy only surrounds the yuanying and does not harm Di Fengs soul at all.

    Stop, you have to chill first.

    Di Long shouts. Now he wants to calm Hou Fei down first as what he worries about the most is that Hou Fei will kill his brother out of anger.

    Big brother, could you really want to release Qin Yu? Di Yang and the others look at Di Long with unwillingness.

    Di Longs mind is also very tense. Even though nobody knows clearly who killed his 8th brother Di Tong yet, they can be sure of one thing -- Di Tongs death is linked to Qin Yu. Moreover, Qin Yu stole their Treasure Storing Palace.

    Not release? Then whats going to happen to 5th brother?

    Di Long says with a cold humph. His words are filled with frustration.

    Someone living is more important than someone dead. 8th brother is already dead. We cant let any accidents happen to 5th brother. Di Long sighs. Di Jian and the other 3 brothers also sigh in frustration. After all, they cannot just watch Di Feng die.

    Di Long gives Qin Yu a look. Qin Yu, however, looks at Di Long with an indifferent smile, appearing very relaxed.

    Hou Fei, we can release your big brother, but theres still a condition. Your big brother Qin Yu stole our Nine Demons Halls Treasure Storing Palace. As long as your big brother returns it to us, well let him go immediately!

    Di Long is trying as hard as he can to make the best out of this hopeless situation.

    He is not willing to release Qin Yu just like that. At least he wants to get Treasure Storing Palace back first.

    Before Qin Yu can say anything, Hou Fei roars: Damn you. Still try to set some bullshit condition to me? Big brother, I really admire you for stealing even that Treasure Storing Palace. Ha-ha, since its called Treasure Storing Palace, there must be lots of treasures inside, right?

    Seeing Hou Fei behaving this way, Qin Yu cannot help giving a smile.

    Hou Fei looks at Di Long and his brothers again and shouts: Answer in one sentence, release or not release? If you dont release him, Im going to kill this brat right away. And dont mention any conditions to me. If you do, Im going to -- kill!

    The faces of the Di brothers freeze but there is nothing else they can do.

    Under this situation, they have no choice but to release Qin Yu first. However, at this moment --

    Take care, brothers!

    A voice rises in the other Di brothers minds through holy sense communication. It is none other than Di Fengs. Their faces immediately change color. Hearing Di Fengs words, they know the choice Di Feng has made.

    You want to die?!

    Hou Feis eyes flash with a red light. A stream of demonic elemental energy instantly pierces into the yuanying and destroys the soul.

    Other people may not know, but Qin Yu knows that Hou Fei is in fact very careful despite his seemingly careless behavior. He has been watching out for Di Fengs self-destruction since catching the yuanying and has always been ready to have his demonic elemental energy penetrate the yuanying and destroy the soul.

    It should be known that to self-destruct, the yuanyings energy must be excited, which takes some time.

    When Hou Fei felt that the yuanying was starting to get excited, he destroyed Di Fengs soul without delay. Once the soul was destroyed, the yuanying became no more than an energy crystal. The yuanying then disappears like a flash. Obviously Hou Fei has put it away.

    5th brother!

    Di Long and the other Di brothers all cry in agony. At the same time, extremely furious, they immediately rush out of the Great Six Harmonies Heavenly Gates Formation, wanting to kill Hou Fei on the spot to avenge their 5th brothers death.

    Dont mess with me!

    After destroying Di Fengs soul, Hou Fei roars like crazy. With a movement of his body, he arrives at Di Luans face instantly as if using teleportation. A furious shout is heard and a black stick suddenly smashes down violently as if coming out of thin air.

    Too fast!

    Di Luan finally understands Di Fengs feeling at that time. Facing this kind of speed, he can only think a bit in his mind and simply has no time to make a block with his limbs.

    Stop!

    The 5 who have just rushed out from the Great Six Harmonies Heavenly Gates Formation, Di Long, Di Jian, Di Yang, Di Xu and Di Nai, are all terrified. However, Hou Fei has been enraged by Di Fengs intention of self-destructing. Qin Yu also knows that Hou Fei is ill-tempered, very ill-tempered.

    An irate Hou Fei is simply terrifying.

    Ah!

    Hou Fei lets out a sharp cry. His expression is ferocious and full of obstinacy and unruliness. Afterwards, Di Luans entire body is smashed with a boom. Blood and flesh are scattered around. However, this time --

    A furious Hou Fei does not give Di Luan any chance at all.

    His black stick immediately smashes on Di Luans yuanying, which is about to flee. The black sticks offense is really so powerful that the yuanying is completely shattered in the blink of an eye. There is a boom as the smash of Hou Feis black stick unexpectedly blows up the yuanying.

    The other Di brothers, who originally thought that there was still a chance to negotiate, can see that black stick hit the yuanying clearly.

    That explosion stupefies them all.

    7th brother is already dead!

    In just a short time after their 5th brothers death, their 7th brother has also died.

    Messing with me means death. Hou Feis eyes are blazing. All of his hair is standing on end. An extremely ferocious aura comes out from his body and expands in all directions. This absolutely lordly aura is really frightening.

    He caused the yuanying to explode with a smash of his stick but his body unexpectedly did not suffer any injuries.

    You, you

    Di Long and the other 4 brothers look at Hou Fei. They are so angry that they cannot even finish one sentence. Their eyes have reddened. Afterwards, they all growl furiously and charge at Hou Fei like mad. The fact that 2 of their brothers have died successively in such a short space of time has driven them crazy.

    Among the 9 brothers, Di Luan and Di Feng were the only 2 at the early Dongxu stage and were also the 2 weakest. Di Long and the others have rarely let them take part in dangerous affairs and have cared about them very much. However, now both of them are already dead.

    Holding his sword, Di Long slashes furiously!

    A green light is flashing in Di Jians hands!

    Di Xu swings the long stick in his hands ruthlessly!



    Disregarding their own safety, the 5 remaining Di brothers attack Hou Fei fiercely with the intention of killing him in one hit.

    Dont just rely on strength, Fei Fei. Your speed should be comparable to Di Longs and youre more nimble than him so try your best to evade them. Qin Yu immediately says via his holy sense. Hou Fei is certainly slower than him but is not slower than Di Long in the least.

    A divine beast is after all not an ordinary beast.

    How can the only Fiery-eyed Aquatic monkey in the entire Xiuzhen world possibly be simple?

    Dont worry, big brother. Kaka, ha-ha, awesome, awesome, brat, you also use a stick then have a taste of my stick. Hou Feis voice resounds through the airspace of the black rock island. He himself starts to dodge continuously.

    He is a monkey and, moreover, a divine monkey so he is extremely agile. His dodging is elegant and follows no regular patterns. Even though he is about as fast as Di Long, it is fairly difficult for Di Long and Di Jian to attack him.

    Bang!

    Hou Feis black stick and Di Xus long stick collide with each other. Di Xu is sent flying several tens meters but Hou Fei also retreats several meters. However, at this moment Di Long approaches Hou Fei from behind and thrusts his sword at Hou Feis back.

    Hou Fei reaches out his hand backwards and swings his stick nimbly. The stick and the flying sword clash. He cannot help leaning forwards.

    Kaka, awesome, lets try again!

    He suddenly charges at Di Long.

    You want to die? Di Long immediately gets excited and concentrates his entire energy. He wants to seize this opportunity to one-shot Hou Fei. However, he suddenly notices that, at this moment, the light in Hou Feis eyes unexpectedly intensifies and Hou Feis aura becomes even stronger.

    Hou Fei has been hiding his power!

    Di Long is secretly shocked. But he still holds his sword and swings it at Hou Feis black stick as hard as he can.

    One slashes through the air at an extreme speed like lightning!

    One smashes down with a world-shattering force like a huge pillar!

    Bang!

    The air shakes and the 2 of them fly backwards simultaneously.

    They are equally matched!

    Without using your true form, dont even think about beating me. Hou Fei thinks disdainfully. When he told Qin Yu before that he could fight Di Long evenly in berserk mode, he meant Di Longs true form. If Di Long does not switch to his true form, Hou Fei certainly will not need to go berserk.

    However, while the 2 of them are flying backwards after clashing fiercely --

    Be careful! When Qin Yus voice has just risen in Hou Feis mind through holy sense communication,

    Pu!

    Hou Fei promptly dodges but he is still hit in the back by a sword and suffers a very large wound which is about 30 to 40 cm long. His flesh is exposed and blood flows out from that large wound nonstop.

    Hou Fei, prepare to die.

    Di Jian shouts furiously and charges at him. Hou Feis recovery ability is pretty good, but it cannot compare to Qin Yus Meteoric Tear. Because that wound is so large, even though it has been covered with demonic elemental energy, blood keeps flowing out from it.

    Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

    Noises of bombardment rise continuously inside the Great Six Harmonies Heavenly Gates Formation. They are caused by none other than a very anxious Qin Yu, who is attacking the formation nonstop.

    Every attack of his is executed with full force.

    However, 7 majesties of the Nine Demons Hall set up this formation together and Qin Yu is even one tier weaker than Di Long so it is simply impossible for him to break the formation.

    What can I do? What should I do? Qin Yu has become somewhat impatient. Hou Fei is fairly powerful but facing Di Long, Di Jian and the other 3 Di brothers bodes ill rather than well for him. Qin Yu clenches his teeth. A transmitter appears in his hand.

    It is the transmitter Uncle Lan gave him before. However, when Qin Yu is yet to send a message,

    Ha-ha, this is so interesting. Nine Demons Hall brats, you got some status at any rate, who couldve thought youd gang up on an opponent? Tut-tut, youre a bit much. A powerful voice resounds through the whole black rock island. At the same time, the water around the island begins to roar.

    Suddenly, a silhouette appears in the sky.

    Seeing this man, Qin Yu cannot help getting shocked because he has the body of a man and the head of a dragon, looking exceptionally bizarre. This man is wearing an azure imperial robe. The aura he is giving off is as oppressive as the weight of a great mountain. Everybody at the scene can feel a terrifying, irresistible force!

    My lord!

    Teng Shan and the guardians from the Azure Dragon Palace immediately bow and say with extreme respect.

    On one side, Lou Ke and his subordinates also bow and say in salute: It is a great honor to meet you, Overlord Azure Dragon. We are the Blue Water Mansions Lou Ke and guardians. They are also very respectful.

    Overlord Azure Dragon? Qin Yu is astonished. The dragon-headed man in front of him is unexpectedly Overlord Azure Dragon, who is called the no. 1 expert of the overseas Xiuzhen world. Isnt Overlord Azure Dragon a divine beast? Isnt it impossible for him to take a human form before going through the 9-From-9th Heaven Tribulation? Now Qin Yu has become doubtful.

    B7C5: Breaking the formation

    Di Long and his 4 brothers have been attacking Hou Fei like crazy but they cannot help stopping temporarily when Overlord Azure Dragon arrives.

    Greetings, Overlord Azure Dragon.

    The 5 Di brothers only slightly fold their hands in salute. After all, they are the Nine Demons Halls majesties and the Nine Demons Hall is also known as one of the three underwater superpowers like the Azure Dragon Palace. It is just that Overlord Azure Dragon is too powerful.

    The Nine Demons Halls 90 million li radius territory has over a million Xiuyaoists in total. Both the Azure Dragon Palace and the Blue Water Mansion, however, are more powerful than the Nine Demons Hall. Their respective territories are over 100 million li in radius and they have a lot more Xiuyaoists under them too.

    Di Long, Teng Shan told me that you were trying to kill a bloke called Qin Yu. Why are you trying to kill a monkey now? Besides, why are the 5 of you even joining forces? Overlord Azure Dragon asks frankly with a faint smile on his face.

    Di Long knows clearly that Overlord Azure Dragon generally treats others fairly well but when he gets angry, he will go wild and become merciless.

    Overlord, this monkey is Qin Yus brother and called Hou Fei. Just now, when the 5 of us were trying to kill Qin Yu in the Great Six Harmonies Heavenly Gates Formation, he unexpectedly took advantage of the situation and killed our 5th and 7th brothers. If we dont avenge their deaths, we wont be able to die with eyes closed.

    Di Longs face is filled with killing intent, as are his words. Behind him, his 4 brothers are also boiling with killing intent. 2 of their brothers were killed in quick succession not long ago so all of them want to kill Hou Fei as soon as possible.

    Hou Fei.

    Overlord Azure Dragon gives Hou Fei a look and is suddenly astounded: Oh, hes merely at the late Yuanying stage but you havent been able to kill him for so long despite joining forces. Looks like Hou Fei is also a divine beast. How extraordinary, extraordinary!

    A late Yuanying stage Xiuyaoist that can survive the onslaught of a late Dongxu stage Di Long and his brothers for so long is almost certainly a divine beast.

    Di Long frowns. But Di Jian beside him says: Overlord Azure Dragon, this Hou Fei bloke killed my 5th and 7th brothers so either we or he must die. Youve come here to obstruct us, havent you? Di Jians eyes are ice-cold.

    In the Great Six Harmonies Heavenly Gates Formation, a glimmer of hope appears in Qin Yus heart when he hears this.

    Ha-ha if you want to kill him then you kill him. What does this have to do with me?

    With a wave of his large sleeve, Overlord Azure Dragon immediately flies into the sky of the black rock island. A cloud then appears under his feet. Standing on the cloud, he looks down as if watching a play. Teng Shan and his subordinates hurriedly fly to his back and stand there respectfully.

    Kaka ~~~ little worms, dont even dream about killing me!

    Hou Fei laughs strangely. His face is full of fierceness. He then brandishes his black stick, smashing it at Di Yangs head.

    The Nine Demons Halls 5 brothers now spring into action violently and charge at Hou Fei right away. Since Overlord Azure Dragon has said that he will not hinder them in their efforts to kill Hou Fei, he definitely will not hinder them. No longer having to worry about him, the 5 Di brothers naturally resume their attack.

    In the Great Six Harmonies Heavenly Gates Formation,

    Qin Yu can see that members of the Azure Dragon Palace and the Blue Water Mansion are all looking on while Hou Fei is being surrounded and attacked by the 5 Di brothers. Moreover, he can see that Hou Fei is obviously losing ground so he becomes anxious.

    Screech ~~ A sharp noise that sounds like an owls cry suddenly resounds through an area of several thousand li in radius around the black rock island. Lou Ke and his subordinates are immediately delighted.

    The Nine Demons Halls 5 brothers have no choice but to pause again.

    A green-clad boy then appears out of thin air. This boy is bizarrely handsome and has very long green hair, so long that it touches his hips. When his hair flutters, it gives a strange feeling. The strangest thing about this green-clad boy is that there is a vertical line between his eyebrows.

    Grand Founder.

    Lou Ke and the Xiuyaoists from the Blue Water Mansion hurriedly bow and say.

    Overlord Azure Dragon came and now Old Freak Three-Eyed has also come. Qin Yu is slightly shocked.

    All of a sudden --

    Ha-ha Three-Eyed, youre a divine toad at any rate, only after going through the 9-From-9th Heavenly Tribulation can you totally transform into a human. Since youve only gone through the 6-in-9 Heavenly Tribulation, you can take a half-human form at best. But you care too much about appearance so youre even using an illusion to fool yourself and others.

    Overlord Azure Dragon laughs out loud and reveals the truth about Old Freak Three-Eyed directly.

    Qin Yu, however, is astonished.

    This Old Freak Three-Eyed is really formidable. I cant tell if hes using an illusion at all. He thinks that Overlord Azure Dragon is the only one at the scene who can see through Old Freak Three-Eyeds illusion technique.

    Old Freak Three-Eyeds true form is a Three-Blue-Eyed toad.

    A toad is ugly but Three-Eyed loves beauty very much so he is unhappy with his ugly appearance. Therefore, he learned an illusion technique and started to make himself look like a handsome boy.

    Azure Dragon!

    Old Freak Three-Eyed becomes furious. His long green hair flies straight up at once. You ugly beast, you always go around with your dragon head. Do you think its very impressive and handsome? He scolds immediately.

    Overlord Azure Dragon bursts into laughter, paying no attention to what he said, and says with a complacent look.

    At least its more handsome than your toad head.

    Old Freak Three-Eyed is so angry that his body trembles. He is fond of beauty but toads are very ugly so he exceptionally hates being called a toad. However, it is Overlord Azure Dragon, an early Kongming stage divine beast, who called him so this time!

    Azure Dragon, last time you snatched my jade sword and I havent settled this score. This time youve even insulted me. Good, lets have another fight.

    He is so furious that he starts a fight!

    With his green hair flapping, Old Freak Three-Eyed arrives at the face of Overlord Azure Dragon in an instant and takes a claw swipe. His speed is faster than Qin Yus quite a lot.

    I snatched your jade sword? Bullshit! Last time that sword was owner-free at first. You had a fight with me and in the end I obtained the jade sword. How can you say I snatched yours? Overlord Azure Dragon roars angrily and begins to fight as well.

    Everybody present is dumbstruck.

    This Old Freak Three-Eyed and Overlord Azure Dragon met each other not long ago but they have already started to fight.

    Boom!

    Various streams of energy hit different places, causing explosions. Many places on the whole black rock island are blown up. This fight between Old Freak Three-Eyed and Overlord Azure Dragon is simply devastating. Everyone else carefully shuns them for fear of suffering accidental damage.

    The 5 Di brothers are no longer able to attack Hou Fei as freely as they were just now either because Old Freak Three-Eyed and Overlord Azure Dragon are too fast.

    These 2 super experts are much faster than even Qin Yu. They can be several hundred li away at one moment, but in just a while, they can have already come to the side of Di Long or anybody else. In this situation, how can the Di brothers focus their entire attention on fighting Hou Fei? If they are careless, they will probably be hit and seriously injured by Overlord Azure Dragon and Old Freak Three-Eyed.

    As the 2 of them fight each other, their energy bombards every place.

    The Great Six Harmonies Heavenly Gates Formation is certainly hit by their energy as well. However, those energy streams are only the residual energy of the exchanges between Overlord Azure Dragon and Old Freak Three-Eyed whereas this large formation was set up by 7 majesties so it is not possible for those energy streams to breach the formation.

    Dont flaunt your power, Fei Fei. You quickly leave here first.

    Qin Yu immediately tells Hou Fei through holy sense communication.

    At the moment, Hou Fei and the 5 Di brothers have no intention of fighting as fiercely as they did moments ago either so Hou Fei is naturally very relaxed. Moreover, he can run away anytime. Given his speed, the Di brothers will have difficulty chasing him.

    Dont worry, big brother! Just now I was injured only because I was careless. Besides, I still havent used my true power. I havent entered berserk mode. Hou Fei is not worried at all.

    Qin Yus heart is immediately eased.

    If one cares too much about something, their mind will be clouded. Seeing Hou Fei wounded, Qin Yu unexpectedly forgot that Hou Fei could still go into berserk mode, which would greatly improve his power right away.

    But at this moment --

    Three-Eyed, you freak, so you want to fight for real?

    Overlord Azure Dragon roars angrily. Just now Old Freak Three-Eyeds hands scratched his clothes, which has naturally angered him. A dazzling golden long spear then appears in his right hand out of thin air.

    Holding this golden long spear, Overlord Azure Dragon immediately gains the upper hand over Old Freak Three-Eyed.

    Qin Yus heart trembles with shock as he watches. Unlike experts on the Qian Long continent, Overlord Azure Dragon uses purely speed and power instead of finesse. Various spear silhouettes shoot out from his hands and each of them is more powerful than even Qin Yus strongest attack.

    Take this, Azure Dragon!

    The sharp voice of Old Freak Three-Eyed, who is at a total disadvantage, suddenly rises. At the same time, that vertical line between his eyebrows opens, revealing an eye. A dark green light then shoots out from it in a straight line.

    You want to go all out!?

    Overlord Azure Dragon shouts in shock and hurriedly dodges. But that dark green light is too fast so it still pierces through his imperial robe.

    Three-Eyed, if you use that eye of yours, dont blame me for getting serious. Overlord Azure Dragons hands brighten. In the blink of an eye, they turn into black dragon claws, emitting an ice-cold metallic glow. But the rest of his arms are covered in azure dragon scales.

    The attacks of Old Freak Three-Eyeds 3rd eye are extremely swift and fierce so Overlord Azure Dragon only dares to ward them off with his most powerful weapons, the dragon claws. Not even his protective scaly armor can withstand this dark green shaft of light.

    Old Freak Three-Eyed has become ruthless. Another dark green shaft of light shoots out.

    Overlord Azure Dragon takes a look at the position of everybody at the scene. A faint cunning smile suddenly appears on his face. Without using his dragon claws to block the attack, he immediately dodges to one side. Because of his evasion, this dark green light unexpectedly shoots at Di Long.

    Di Longs face changes color. Simply having no time to curse, he tries his best to dodge.

    But how can it possibly be easy to evade this attack by Old Freak Three-Eyed?

    Growl ~~~

    Di Long lets out a mad growl and transforms into an over 100 m long Purple Demon aquatic dragon instantly. That dark green shaft of light pierces through Di Longs body like shooting through a sheet of paper to enter the ocean then vanishes.

    Di Long switches back to his human form right away.

    Why did you hurt me, Grand Founder Three-Eyed? He is furious. Now a very small wound has appeared on his stomach. Despite its size, he cannot stop it from bleeding.

    Di Long, if I had really wanted to hurt you, how could you still be alive?

    Old Freak Three-Eyeds voice rises. But he is still fighting Overlord Azure Dragon extremely fast. One dark green shaft of light shoots out after another. Everybody at the scene dodges in terror because nobody dares to block such attacks.

    Di Long understands.

    If Old Freak Three-Eyed had really wanted to kill him, that dark green light shaft would have exploded after going into his body and he would have definitely died. However, Old Freak Three-Eyed did not detonate that dark green light in his body. Convinced by this point, Di Long immediately stops talking.

    Whizz!

    Another dark green light shaft shoots out. But it unexpectedly hits the Great Six Harmonies Heavenly Gates Formation squarely.

    Poof!

    Even though the shaft of light is hindered a bit, it still destroys the formation. Afterwards, having lost most of its energy, the light shaft pierces into the surface of the black rock island and disappears.

    The formation has been destroyed!

    The Great Six Harmonies Heavenly Gates Formation has been destroyed!

    Qin Yu is dumbfounded. The Nine Demons Halls 5 brothers are dumbfounded. And Hou Fei is also dumbfounded.

    The 3rd eyes attacks are Old Freak Three-Eyeds most powerful attacks. Not even Overlord Azure Dragon dares to block them lightly. Therefore, despite its extremely powerful defense, the Great Six Harmonies Heavenly Gates Formation was still broken by that shaft of light.

    Grand Founder Three-Eyed, you

    Di Long points at Old Freak Three-Eyed. He is so angry that his body trembles and he cannot even finish that sentence.

    He and his brothers had to join forces and take advantage of Qin Yus inattention to set up the Great Six Harmonies Heavenly Gates Formation. Now Di Luan and Di Feng are already dead so they can no longer set it up even if they want. Given Qin Yus speed, how can they still confine Qin Yu?

    Three-Eyed, youre really outrageous. It took Di Long and his brothers a lot of effort to set up this large formation but you destroyed it just like that. Overlord Azure Dragon also points at Old Freak Three-Eyed.

    Old Freak Three-Eyed glares at Di Long angrily with his three eyes.

    Di Long, why didnt you set it up elsewhere instead of at the place where I and Azure Dragon fight each other? He says with a cold humph. The fierceness in his eyes makes the Di brothers hearts skip a beat. They no longer dare to say anything else despite being extremely furious inwardly.

    Lets stop fighting, Three-Eyed. If you want to fight, lets wait until Di Long and his brothers have handled their business. Azure Dragon says as if he is someone nice.

    Old Freak Three-Eyed utters a cold humph then flies in front of Lou Ke and his subordinates and stops talking. Obviously he has accepted Azure Dragons suggestion. Thus, Azure Dragon and Old Freak Three-Eyed stop fighting after the destruction of the Great Six Harmonies Heavenly Gates Formation!

    The 5 Di brothers are so angry that they do not know what to say. However, they do not notice that there is a hint of amusement deep in the eyes of Overlord Azure Dragon and Old Freak Three-Eyed.

    Your acting was pretty good, Three-Eyed.

    Yours wasnt bad either. But later dont ever call me toad this toad that or Im going to fight you for real.

    Overlord Azure Dragon and Old Freak Three-Eyed talk to each other via holy sense communication. Nobody can hear what they say.

    B7C6: Berserk mode

    Qin Yu rushes over to the side of Hou Fei like a golden beam of light.

    Lets join forces, Fei Fei.

    He clenches his fists. The Flaming Gloves are sticking to the surfaces of his fists just like a layer of skin.

    When he was being confined in the Great Six Harmonies Heavenly Gates Formation, he could only watch Hou Fei fight alone, so naturally he wanted to come out to help long ago. He was unable to break that large formation, but luckily Old Freak Three-Eyed and Overlord Azure Dragon fought each other and unwittingly destroyed the formation for him.

    Kaka, big brother, if we join forces well be invincible. Hou Fei wriggles his waist and says complacently.

    The faces of the 5 Di brothers, Di Long, Di Jian, Di Yang, Di Xu and Di Nai, all seem to be covered in a layer of killing intent. They glare at Qin Yu and Hou Fei, who also glare at them with absolutely no fear or evasion.

    Di Long and co. versus Qin Yu and Hou Fei, 5 brothers versus 2 brothers,

    Members of the Azure Dragon Palace and the Blue Water Mansion are just looking on, helping neither side.

    Once the 5 Di brothers fight Qin Yu and Hou Fei, who do you think will have the upper hand, Three-Eyed? Overlord Azure Dragon is watching Di Long, Qin Yu and the others but he keeps chatting with Old Freak Three-Eyed through holy sense communication.

    The upper hand? Of course its going to be the Nine Demons Halls brats. Though some of them are dead, the strongest ones like Di Long and Di Jian are still there. You should know that these Purple Demon aquatic dragons are barely inferior to divine beasts. They can only transform into humans after going through the 6-in-9 Heavenly Tribulation. When a late Dongxu aquatic dragon switches back to his true form, his power will increase several times.

    Old Freak Three-Eyed obviously thinks that the 5 Di brothers will have the upper hand.

    In the past, Di Jian was able to single-handedly take on Teng Shan and Lou Ke, who both have reached the late Dongxu stage, at the same time and was even able to fight them off. It should be known that Teng Shan is a horned dragon and Lou Ke is a crimson toad, which is also very extraordinary. These facts show how formidable Purple Demon aquatic dragons are.

    Qin Yu! Hou Fei!

    Di Long shouts loudly. Afterwards, the 5 Di brothers charge at Qin Yu and Hou Fei extremely fast together.

    Qin Yu and Hou Fei exchange a look then dodge to 2 different sides simultaneously. Qin Yu uses 80 percent of his top speed as before. Despite this, he is still fairly faster than even Di Long. By contrast, Hou Fei executes several strikes with his stick from time to time while dodging nimbly.

    In the blink of an eye, Qin Yu gets away several hundred li.

    Standing in midair, he slightly closes his eyes and takes a deep breath.

    What a wonderful feeling.

    There is an earnest faint smile on Qin Yus face. He can feel clearly every muscle in his body, every bone in his body and even every part of any muscle. This feeling of having total control over his body is very wonderful.

    Qin Yu does body training so he attaches great importance to toughness and flexibility.

    Qin Yu, die!

    Di Long shouts loudly. His flying sword unexpectedly turns into a broadsword. Holding the broadsword, Di Long slashes it at Qin Yus head. However, facing this strike, Qin Yu moves forwards 2 to 3 m in parallel with the sword with a very easy shake of his waists muscles.

    Chi --

    Qin Yus body is fast like lightning. At the same time, he forms a finger sword with his index and middle fingers and thrusts it at Di Long. His pure and condensed golden stellar energy is totally focused on the finger sword, making it radiate a dazzling golden light.

    Because Qin Yu is too fast, Di Long does not have enough time to make a block with the broadsword in his right hand. Therefore, he can only throw a punch at Qin Yus finger sword with his left hand. When Di Longs fist is coming at the finger sword, a glove appears around it. This glove has 2 colors, silvery and purple, and is none other than a top-grade holy weapon.

    Bang!

    Qin Yus finger sword and Di Longs fist collide head-on.

    The sharp golden stellar energy bursts forth. Di Longs powerful demonic elemental energy also bursts forth. Qin Yus energy is more concentrated and penetrative whereas Di Longs energy is more powerful and substantial. This clash unexpectedly ends in a draw.

    Triple Strike!

    A hint of ruthlessness appears in Qin Yus eyes. He has started to use the move with which he killed Di Tong in the past. His fingers are straightened up. In an instant, the finger sword becomes a spear hand strike. Then, basically not pausing for a moment, he curls his fingers up and throws a punch!

    He has attacked 3 times continuously.

    Di Long is very powerful but his left hands bones and joints still hurt as if they are about to crack. Luckily his gloves were forged by fusing dragon scales with top-grade crystals so their defense is extremely powerful. Even so, Qin Yus 3 continuous strikes still almost made his left hand lose the ability to attack.

    What move is this? Di Long is in disbelief. He is obviously stronger than Qin Yu but just now his left hand was injured by Qin Yu.

    There is a tinge of fierceness in Qin Yus eyes: When I was travelling the Qian Long continent before, I learned an attack technique called Short Force (*). This move is a variant of Short Force. The move Qin Yu just used was indeed created based on Short Force.

    This move is not simply 3 continuous attacks at all.

    If it was really so simple, Short Force Continuous Striking would not be so difficult to learn. After all, following the 1st strike, when you perform the 2nd strike, the opponent can also perform their 2nd strike. The secret of this Short Force Continuous Striking move is the word continuous.

    When anybody performs a punch, their fist must at least move a certain distance to generate enough offensive force.

    For example, to hit something with a punch, one must smash their fist into it from an adequate distance. If they rely on their internal energy alone without moving their fist, the attack will be very weak.

    By attacking nonstop, Short Force Continuous Striking does not give the enemy enough moving distance. After the finger sword strike, the hand will be pulled back a little, creating a short space, but the enemy will not be able to take advantage of this space to counterattack. All of this depends on the users skill and experience. The user must learn through experience and also enlightenment to achieve continuousness. Even if one knows the principle of the technique, this does not necessarily mean they can execute it.

    Mortals, humph, so you even learned mortals stuff?

    Di Longs words are filled with disdain. Show me what youve got. This time Im not going to give you any chance. After saying so, he disregards everything else to launch an onslaught on Qin Yu using his raging demonic elemental energy.

    Bully,

    Di Long is absolutely a bully. Relying on the fact that his demonic elemental energy is powerful, he immediately makes his energy roll out under his control to restrain Qin Yu and assaults Qin Yu like crazy.

    Run!

    Qin Yu has no choice but to dodge again using his speed and to occasionally launch a sneak attack or two. An attack that depends on finesse can only be used a couple of times at best. If it is overused, the enemy will naturally figure out a method of dealing with it. At that time, the user will probably be finished.



    On the battlefield, Qin Yu keeps moving back and forth between the 5 Di brothers like a golden beam of light, attacking Di Yang, Di Xu and Di Nai from time to time. Hou Fei is also dodging nimbly. His black stick is being swung at random like a black blur.

    For the moment, there is a stalemate on the battlefield.

    Three-Eyed, didnt you say the Nine Demons Hall would win? Why does it now look like they are neck and neck? Azure Dragon taunts via holy sense communication.

    Neck and neck? You cant say so. Its just that this Qin Yu fella is really too fast. Though he cant beat the Di brothers, the Di brothers have no way to hurt him either. But you just wait and see. The situation will change very soon. Old Freak Three-Eyed says very confidently through his holy sense.



    3rd brother, 4th brother, 6th brother, 9th brother, lets use our true forms right away to kill them. Di Long gives an order after fighting for a long time without being able to kill Qin Yu and Hou Fei.

    Okay.

    Di Jian, Di Yang, Di Xu and Di Nai all agree with him.

    Afterwards, 5 dragon roars are heard and the 5 Di brothers transform into 5 Purple Demon aquatic dragons, which are sinuously floating in the sky. Their 100 m long bodies alone give off a hugely oppressive feeling. Those black single horns are flashing with an ice-cold light.

    Qin Yus face immediately changes color.

    He personally saw the fight between Di Tong and Cha Hong, especially Di Tongs formidability after transforming into a Purple Demon aquatic dragon, so he knows that when the Di brothers switch to their true forms, their power will greatly improve.

    Fei Fei, when they switch to their true forms, they become much stronger. He immediately says via his holy sense.

    Dont worry. Hou Fei is not worried at all. His eyes are blazing with even more fighting spirit.

    With a sweep of their tails, the 5 Purple Demon aquatic dragons instantly turn into 5 purple blurs, charging at Qin Yu and Hou Fei. They are so fast that even Hou Fei, who was full of fighting spirit a moment ago, is astonished and has to hurriedly perform a stick smash.

    Bang!

    Hou Feis black stick and Di Longs single horn collide with each other violently. Di Long is not affected at all but Hou Fei is sent flying away.

    Damn, theyve really become much stronger. I basically cant resist this Di Long fella anymore. Now Hou Fei also has a rather bad feeling.

    Bang!

    Qin Yus fists and Di Yangs dragon tail clash. Di Yang is knocked back a bit but Qin Yus fists have gone numb. Originally Qin Yu could defeat Di Yang with ease, but now, after Di Yang has changed into his true form, Qin Yu can only fight Di Yang evenly at most.

    When I killed Di Tong that day, if he hadnt lost one arm before and hadnt been in his human form, if I hadnt used a sneak attack and risked losing a hand At the moment Qin Yu is secretly shocked.

    He knew that he had been lucky at that time, but only now, when he is fighting Di Yangs true form, does he discover how formidable a middle Dongxu stage Purple Demon aquatic dragon is in its true form.

    Di Tong was really very unlucky to die.

    Beset on all sides by dangers, Qin Yu finally makes a decision: Speed, 100 percent!

    Now he does not hide his speed anymore and immediately increases it from 80 percent to 100 percent of his ability. By doing this, his speed is improved by one level, no less. And so, the attacks that at first could threaten him can no longer even touch his body.



    On the battlefield, after the 5 Di brothers changed into the true forms, they have become much more powerful. Now Qin Yu is of the same tier as Di Yang, Di Xu and Di Nai at best. Facing Di Long and Di Jian, he basically cannot ward off the enemies attacks. The gap between him and these two is really huge.

    Qin Yu has raised his speed to its maximum. His body keeps moving back and forth nonstop like a golden beam of light. Even though the 5 Purple Demon aquatic dragons are formidable, they cannot harm him.

    Now Hou Fei is only slightly stronger than Di Yang, Di Xu and Di Nai. He is no longer a match for Di Long and Di Jian, and even worse, for the moment he is even slower than them. As a result, he has already clashed head-on with Di Long and Di Jian several times. His current situation is even more dangerous than Qin Yus.



    Azure Dragon, what I said is right, isnt it? As soon as the 5 Di brothers switched to their true forms, their power was greatly increased and they gained the upper hand over Qin Yu and Hou Fei. But this Qin Yu fella is really fast, somewhat faster than usual. Old Freak Three-Eyed says in astonishment.

    Azure Dragon also praises: Just now I was amazed by Qin Yus speed. Who couldve thought he was still holding back? Tut-tut, with his current speed, perhaps only you and I in the underwater Xiuyao world can subdue him with absolute certainty.

    When Qin Yu was using 80% of his capacity, he was already extremely fast. Now he is using 100% of his capacity so he is basically abnormally fast.

    Di Long in his true form is also fast.

    However, using his top speed, Qin Yu is still faster than Di Longs true form by about 30 to 40 percent. The 5 Purple Demon aquatic dragons on the battlefield can do nothing to him at all. Too bad he cannot do anything to them either.

    Three-Eyed, now when do you think Di Long and his brothers will win? Azure Dragon asks. To him and Old Freak Three-Eyed, this fight is just like an amusing show. They are not worried by it at all.

    Old Freak Three-Eyed thinks for a while then says: Its difficult for the Di brothers to kill Qin Yu, but perhaps that Hou Fei fella wont be able to hang on for long. Though hes a divine beast and got huge potential, hes only reached the late Yuanying stage. You see, now hes already badly injured.

    Azure Dragon nods his head in agreement. Both of them can see the situation on the battlefield clearly.



    Be careful, Fei Fei.

    Like lightning, Qin Yu takes hold of Hou Fei with a grab while flashing past a swing of Di Longs tail.

    However, right after evading this attack, a huge dragon claw comes down from the sky, aiming directly for Qin Yus and Hou Feis heads. Qin Yu pushes Hou Fei away without delay. He himself flies backwards, once again avoiding another attack.

    When these 5 Purple Demon aquatic dragons hadnt used their true form, Fei Fei still had some advantages, but now he has no advantage at all. Qin Yu is very anxious. At this point, why hasnt he entered berserk mode yet?

    He has urged Hou Fei to enter berserk mode once but Hou Fei did not reply.

    Fei Fei, why are you still hiding your power? Qin Yu angrily rebukes via holy sense communication.

    Hou Fei grimaces at him: Big brother, after getting out of this berserk mode, my whole body will hurt like hell. Alright, these 5 little worms have got too cocky already. Hou Fei promptly evades an attack.

    Roar ~~

    He turns his face upwards and lets out a furious roar, sounding like an ancient ferocious beast. Immediately, the water in a large area around the island screams. Hou Fei is then completely covered in the oceans water. The muscles in his entire body begin to expand and his bones begin to lengthen and thicken.

    His height also increases extremely fast. From being as tall as a normal man at first, he becomes 5 m tall, then 8 m tall, then 10 m tall, then 20 m tall, then 30 m tall

    Everybody is stupefied.

    Not only Qin Yu, even the 5 Purple Demon aquatic dragons stop fighting out of fright. In just a while, Hou Feis transformation stops. Now his ferocious aura is shockingly powerful and he is nearly 50 m tall.

    His entire body has been enlarged by 26 or 27 times. His black stick has also become longer and thicker. At the moment the hair on his head has the color of the oceans water, and various streams of water are moving around his body, but his eyes are flaming red, as if they are blazing.

    This is a legendary divine beast -- a Fiery-eyed Aquatic Monkey!

    Finally, Hou Fei has entered berserk mode!


    NOTE:

    (*) Short Force (aka One-inch punch) is cun jing in Chinese (寸劲). This is a type of attack in Chinese internal martial arts (Taiji, Bagua, Xingyi) and Wing Chun, said to be able to generate a considerable force from a short distance.

    B7C7: Meteor Strike

    Hou Fei has transformed into a terrifying huge monkey that is almost 50 m tall. Various water streams as thick as the Purple Demon aquatic dragons bodies are moving around his body and arms nonstop. His flaming red eyes are blazing. Everybody at the scene is temporarily shocked by him.

    This, this

    The eyes of Teng Shan, Lou Ke and their subordinates pop out of their heads. They never thought that a monkey which seemed mediocre at first could become so frightening. Now, even Teng Shan and Lou Ke do not have the nerve to fight Hou Fei.

    Even Overlord Azure Dragons and Old Freak Three-Eyeds faces change color. They exchange a look.

    Fei Fei, this, this is your berserk mode? Qin Yus expression is also full of surprise. Hou Fei told Qin Yu before that he would become much more powerful when entering berserk mode, but Qin Yu never expected Hou Fei to look like this in berserk mode.

    The huge monkey turns his face upwards and gives a long roar.

    Big brother, watch me tear them apart. Hou Feis voice rises in Qin Yus mind through holy sense communication.

    Qin Yu smiles, thinking he had better get away to let Hou Fei fight at will because if he stays here now, he will hinder Hou Feis actions. He can see that moments ago Hou Fei was only somewhat weaker than Di Long and Di Jian, and now that Hou Fei has powered up a lot, dealing with these 5 aquatic dragons is definitely no longer difficult.

    Fei Fei, Ill leave it to you.

    With a movement of his body, Qin Yu goes away in a curved path like a golden beam of light. In an instant, he has already travelled several tens li. From being a participant, now Qin Yu has become an outsider. However, at the moment the Di brothers do not block him at all.

    Their entire attention is being focused on Hou Fei.

    Qin Yu is unusually fast but his offense is not a big threat to them. It is very difficult for them to kill Qin Yu but it is also very difficult for him to kill them. Therefore, they temporarily ignore him. Moreover, the pressure that the huge monkey in front of them gives them is really too great.

    Growl growl ~~~

    The 5 Purple Demon aquatic dragon roll into the sky and keep growling at Hou Fei.

    The huge monkey suddenly turns his face upwards and hits his own chest with his fists as if he has gone crazy. His howls resound in all directions. At the same time, the water within several thousand li of the island becomes totally chaotic with the waves increasing to 100 m in height. There are countless waterspouts, which are all under the control of this huge monkey.

    All of a sudden, the monkey stops howling and glares at the 5 Purple Demon aquatic dragons before him with his blazing eyes, which are full of hostility.

    Hu!

    Turning into a blur, Hou Fei unexpectedly goes several li away in an instant and makes a grab at the aquatic dragon Di Long transformed into. Unwilling to be put at a disadvantage, Di Long lets out a furious roar and thrusts the black single horn on his head at Hou Fei.

    Hou Fei swings his hand --

    Pa!

    That huge palm hits the aquatic dragons body fiercely. However, Di Long unexpectedly is able to neutralize Hou Feis enormous force by vibrating his over 100 m long body for a short time. Concurrently with this, his black single horn is thrust at Hou Feis left hand.

    Die!

    The huge monkey suddenly shouts. His voice is powerful and deep. The huge black stick in his right hand is immediately swung down at Di Long. With a shake of that huge body, Di Long rises into the sky at once. When Di Long holds his own body up, he is even much taller than Hou Fei.

    Facing Hou Feis black stick, the black single horn on Di Longs head unexpectedly lengthens and moves towards the stick.

    Bang!

    The black stick and the black single horn collide with each other.

    Di Longs body gets a shock and is sent flying several tens li. Afterwards, he flies into the sky again with a twist of his body. Hou Fei also takes a few steps backwards continuously. Though he treads on waves, he does not sink one bit.

    Ha-ha, youre really too weak, little worm, too weak! He has turned into a huge monkey but his mind has stayed the same. It is just that his voice has become much more powerful.

    After the 2 of them clashed head-on a moment ago, Hou Fei only had to take a few steps backwards to neutralize the opponents offensive force and was not harmed at all while Di Long was sent flying several tens li and obviously suffered some injuries. The stronger and the weaker of the two of them have been decided instantly.

    Charge together, brothers.

    Di Long uses the secret technique Ventriloquism. His voice resounds through the sky. Without delay, the 5 Purple Demon aquatic dragons charge at Hou Fei from different directions while growling. Hou Feis expression becomes serious immediately. He is ready to swing the black stick in his hands out anytime.

    He is not afraid of fighting Di Long one-on-one and even if Di Long and Di Jian join forces he can still manage to fight them evenly, but the 5 Purple Demon aquatic dragons are attacking him together whereas he does not have 3 heads and 6 arms. Moreover, after entering berserk mode, despite the great improvements in offense and defense, his agility has decreased quite a lot.

    Hou Feis blazing eyes suddenly radiate a light.

    I cant win one on five. Lets focus on killing one of them first.

    Facing the joint attack of the 5 aquatic dragons, Hou Fei remains motionless. Everybody else is watching without blinking. Suddenly, a monkey roar is heard. The water within several li of Hou Fei becomes totally chaotic, looking like a tornado. Waves rise to several hundred meters high and Hou Feis body disappears in the waves.

    Noticing that their vision has been blocked by the waves, the 5 Purple Demon aquatic dragons are extremely furious and immediately expand their holy senses. Everybody is immediately thrilled seeing this.

    Hou Fei then holds high his black stick and attacks the 3rd brother Di Yang, who is definitely no match for berserk-mode Hou Fei despite having transformed into a Purple Demon aquatic dragon because he has only reached the middle Dongxu stage. He can use sneak attacks, but if he has to face someone so powerful like the current Hou Fei head-on, he will surely die.

    Di Yang is both frightened and angry.

    He opens his mouth right away and shoots out a green light beam, which immediately lengthens. His originally normal-sized flying sword quickly becomes 10 zhang long. As for Hou Feis black stick, its length is the same as his height. The 2 weapons clash with each other, causing a metallic noise.

    Hah!

    Hou Fei utters a furious shout. That flying sword is smashed to one side and the black stick keeps coming down. The other Di brothers simply have no time to help. Di Yang has reacted very fast. When he shot that flying sword out, his single horn immediately started to lengthen.

    Clang!

    The black stick and the horn, which has become over 10 m long, collide with each other. Afterwards, a very short black blur is seen falling into the ocean clearly.

    3rd brother!

    3rd brother!

    Di Long, Di Xu, Di Jian and Di Nai are both anxious and angry. That black blur was none other than a piece of Di Yangs single horn. Just now, Hou Feis strike unexpectedly broke off a piece of the horn. However, what terrifies the other 4 brothers the most is that Hou Fei brandishes his stick too fast.

    Right after the first strike, the 2nd strike with the stick is already about to arrive.

    Bang!

    The stick smashes heavily into Di Yangs body. Di Yang spits out a large mouthful of blood. His entire body is sent flying west extremely fast. While flying, Di Yang switches to his human form. At the moment, he keeps coughing up blood and his face is very pale.

    Seeing this, the other 4 Di brothers all go mad.

    They know clearly that Di Yang has been injured very badly to the point where he can no longer maintain his true form and had to transform back into his human form. After all, the human form consumes the least energy whereas the large dragon body consumes a lot of energy.

    Extremely furious, the other 4 brothers charge at Hou Fei together. Suddenly --

    Poof!

    Ah!

    An anguished cry is heard. Di Long, Di Xu, Di Jian and Di Nai all tremble and unexpectedly stop. They then fly towards Di Yang simultaneously. They only see that Di Yangs body is lifeless and Qin Yu is clutching a yuanying in his hand.

    It is none other than Di Yangs yuanying.

    Noticing that the other 4 Di brothers are focusing their attention on him, Qin Yu makes the golden light in his palm heat up. A sharp, miserable cry rises as Di Yangs soul is immediately destroyed.

    Dont

    Di Long and the other 3 brothers are completely dumbstruck upon seeing this.

    Originally Qin Yu was looking on, but then he discovered that Di Yang had been seriously injured and was even flying towards him so, of course, he would not let this chance slip. Relying on his speed, he captured badly injured Di Yangs yuanying in just a move and shattered Di Yangs soul without hesitation.

    Di Long, I spent almost a year following 3 majesties from the Blood-red Cave to the Nine Demons Hall. On the way, I never tried to escape or complained. After arriving in the Nine Demons Hall, I answered your every question, but how did you treat me? You just wanted to let that Terror Jellyfish eat me and even bullshitted that I should feel honored to be killed by you. Now I give that sentence back to you, your 3rd brother should feel honored to be killed by me.



    Three-Eyed. Azure Dragons face becomes solemn when he sees Hou Fei starting to transform into a giant monkey.

    Azure Dragon, youre worried or scared, arent you? Old Freak Three-Eyeds green hair is fluttering nonstop. Anyone familiar with Old Freak Three-Eyed knows that when his hair flutters, this is a sign that he wants to kill someone.

    Azure Dragon gives a smile: Well, arent you?

    Old Freak Three-Eyed says with a nod: Yes, I am. I can tolerate the appearance of one divine beast other than us in the underwater Xiuyao world at most. If Hou Fei was just an ordinary divine beast, I wouldnt really mind, but he unexpectedly can transform and become so much more powerful that he can rival my 3rd eye.

    Azure Dragon nods and says: Yeah, there are differences between divine beasts. Three-Eyed, youre only at the late Dongxu stage while Im already at the early Kongming stage. Im an entire level above you but if we really fight each other, Ill only narrowly defeat you. And if we fight to the death, perhaps both of us will die.

    Its good you know this.

    Old Freak Three-Eyed appears somewhat arrogant: As far as I know, Im the only Three-Blue-Eyed toad in history. What divine beast of the same power level can compare with me? However, if this Hou Fei fella was of the same level as me, he definitely wouldnt be weaker than me.


    So, why havent you got into action, Three-Eyed? Azure Dragon says smilingly.

    Old Freak Three-Eyed gives Azure Dragon a look and says via holy sense communication: Getting into action? Why should I? Arent you the overseas Xiuzhen worlds no. 1 expert? Youre already very unhappy with my existence. Can you possibly tolerate Hou Feis appearance?

    Both Azure Dragon and Old Freak Three-Eyed are unwilling to be surpassed by someone else.

    If Hou Fei was an ordinary divine beast, they would not care about him at all. After all, they are also divine beasts and they are much more powerful than Hou Fei. However, Hou Fei belongs to an extremely rare, unusual species of divine beast so it is a different story.

    Azure Dragon says in frustration: Therell be no end if you keep telling me to act alone and vice versa. How about this? Both of us will tie Hou Fei up so that he cant move then let those Purple Demon little worms kill him?

    Old Freak Three-Eyed frowns: Let those little worms kill a divine beast, and even an unusual divine beast?


    A Three-Blue-Eyed toad is no ordinary divine beast. In his eyes, Purple Demon aquatic dragons are not worth mentioning. Even Azure Dragon, who is one power level above him, is only a little bit more powerful than him. Compared to an azure dragon, a Three-Blue-Eyed toad is naturally somewhat more splendid.

    You dont want Hou Fei to be killed by those Purple Demon aquatic dragons? So youre willing to get into action? Azure Dragon has been annoyed.

    When Old Freak Three-Eyed has been pondering for just a while, an anguished cry is heard. The 2 of them are still talking to each other, but Qin Yu has already killed Di Yang. Old Freak Three-Eyed finally says with a nod: All right, Ill tie his hands and youll tie his feet.

    Azure Dragon immediately smiles.



    Qin Yu!

    The 4 remaining Di brothers roar furiously at the same time then charge at Qin Yu. He killed Di Yang so naturally they want to kill him to avenge Di Yangs death.

    Qin Yu immediately flies northwest like a golden beam of light. When Qin Yu has just got closer to Hou Fei a bit, Hou Fei sees the Di brothers surrounding and attacking Qin Yu and explodes with anger at once. He then brandishes his black stick, wanting to charge at them.

    All of a sudden --

    Azure Dragon.

    Old Freak Three-Eyed calls aloud and reaches out his hands. 2 green beams of light shoot out extremely fast. Giving Hou Fei basically no time to dodge, they tie Hou Feis hands together. Afterwards, Old Freak Three-Eyed pulls his hands back.

    Meanwhile, Azure Dragon also sends out 2 azure beams of light, which tie Hou Feis feet together in an instant.

    With his hands and feet tied together as if they are chained, Hou Fei cannot move anymore.

    Roar roar ~~

    Hou Fei roars furiously. At the same time, his arms muscles bulge up, but he basically cannot do anything to the demonic elemental energy that is tying his hands. He cannot make any big movements with his feet at all either.

    Seeing this scene, Qin Yu cannot help getting startled.

    The 4 Di brothers are also dumbfounded.

    Why are the 4 of you still standing there? Why havent you killed Hou Fei? Azure Dragon says in an indifferent voice which contains compulsion and ruthlessness.

    The Di brothers are immediately delighted. Now that Hou Feis hands and feet are tied, if they still fail to kill Hou Fei, they should kill themselves instead. Di Long reacts fastest. With a sweep of his tail, he is the first to charge at Hou Fei.

    Right after this, his 3 brothers, Di Jian, Di Xu and Di Nai, wake up. They also charge at Hou Fei with a sweep of their tails.

    Hou Fei is so worried that he roars continuously, making the water around the island to heave up and down and causing billows. However, all of this cannot make the Di brothers less willing to kill him. Qin Yu, who is not far away, sees everything and the transmitter Uncle Lan gave him appears in his hand.

    Uncle Lan, quickly come to the black rock island over 20,000 li to the southwest of the Nine Demons Hall and save us.

    He immediately sends this message using his holy sense. Then, he fills his entire body with the golden stellar energy without hesitation. Like a burning meteor, he disregards everything to rush at Di Long, who is charging at Hou Fei at the front.

    Qin Yu is being enfolded in a golden light. There are no signs of timidity in his eyes. Ahead of him is a huge, over 100 m long Purple Demon aquatic dragon.

    B7C8: Uncle Lans eventual appearance

    Hou Fei cannot move but this does not affect him knowing whatever happens around him through his holy sense at all. Now he can see clearly that Qin Yu is recklessly rushing at Di Long, who is the first to be charging at him. Hou Fei knows Qin Yus and Di Longs real power.

    Dont do that, big brother!

    He is so worried that he is about to cry. His demonic elemental energy in his whole body keeps shaking but the streams of demonic elemental energy that Old Freak Three-Eyed and Azure Dragon sent out are really too powerful. In fact, both of them had estimated Hou Feis power before tying him up with their demonic elemental energy.

    When Qin Yu hears Hou Feis voice in his mind through holy sense communication, the corners of his mouth slightly curve upwards and his eyes radiate even more resolution.

    This radiant, startling look in his eyes was also seen in the past when he was sacrificing himself to kill Wu Xing for his father. Qin Yu does not have many friends but once he considers someone a friend or brother, he can risk his life for them.

    Hou Fei, die!

    Di Longs huge body is rushing at Hou Fei extremely fast. But he suddenly notices that not far from him, a dazzling golden light is coming at him at an extreme speed. At first sight, that golden light looks like a burning meteor. Di Long is astonished.

    Qin Yu.

    With a sweep of his holy sense, he discovers that it is Qin Yu and is immediately delighted. In an instant, there is a hint of mercilessness on Di Longs face.

    Clashing head-on with Di Long?

    Qin Yu knows very well that he is simply no match for Di Longs true form, but he cannot cower now because if he does, Di Longs single horn will pierces into the body of a completely defenseless Hou Fei.

    While Qin Yu is flying extremely fast, his eyes suddenly blaze with madness. He makes a sign with his hands and shouts loudly: Start! His voice resounds through the entire black rock island.

    The Stellar Field -- Nine Meteors Blazing!

    The golden light around Qin Yus body becomes even more dazzling. His indistinct silvery stellar energy unexpectedly surges forth. At the moment, in Qin Yus dantian, 9 meteors are revolving nonstop in the center of countless silvery grains. These 9 meteors look as if they are burning, sending out 9 frighteningly concentrated streams of golden stellar energy.

    One stream fuses with his body and the other 8 streams becomes 8 golden silhouettes.

    Seeing the original golden beam of light quickly turns into 9 golden beams of light, Di Long cannot help getting startled.

    Qin Yu makes a hand sign again and suddenly shouts: Break!

    During the fight against Xiang Yang in the past, he used most of his silvery stellar energy in a move that appeared to be 9 meteors unifying. However, only now, when he has reached the late Meteor stage and got exactly 9 meteors, can he bring out the best in this move.

    The 9 silhouettes begin to rotate in the same pattern as the 9 revolving meteors in Qin Yus dantian. Suddenly, the 9 golden silhouettes merge into one in the blink of an eye, becoming an extremely dazzling meteor. Its light can even be seen clearly from 1000 li away.

    Nine Meteors Unification, Meteor Strike!

    Di Longs eyes also glitter with fierceness. He accelerates again and his internal demonic elemental energy totally bursts forth. Di Long has gone all out.

    Bang!

    The violent collision sends a shock wave through the air in all directions. The other 3 Purple Demon aquatic dragons are dumbstruck right away. They only see that, in an instant, Di Long switches back to his human form and his whole body is dyed red by the blood coming out of his mouth.

    Qin Yu also falls down powerlessly from the sky. His face is miserably pale and his whole body has been reddened by blood too.

    Mutual destruction!

    It was unexpectedly mutual destruction. To be brothers with Hou Fei, looks like this Qin Yu fella also got some special skills. Old Freak Three-Eyed exclaims.

    Azure Dragon also praises Qin Yu.

    However, was it really mutual destruction?

    Di Longs body has been severely injured so he indeed cannot fight anymore, but his yuanying is still at the late Dongxu stage. In contrast, Qin Yus bodily injuries are not very bad, but the most important energy nuclei in his body, the 9 meteors, have been burnt off so he has suffered a huge loss of power.

    Because of the violent collision, his muscles have torn and even his internal organs have been damaged. Various clear streams from the Meteoric Tear are covering the injured places in his body like trickles of clear water, giving him a very comfortable feeling. With effort, Qin Yu controls his body and rides his flying sword into the sky.

    Di Xu immediately changes into his human form and holds badly injured Di Long up. Di Long, however, takes a look at Qin Yu and Hou Fei with a grim expression and orders: Kill Hou Fei first then kill Qin Yu! Now Hou Fei is defenseless while Qin Yu is seriously injured.

    Yes, big brother.

    Di Nai and Di Jian are still in the Purple Demon aquatic dragon form. Deep, heavy noises rise from their stomachs. Afterwards, the 2 of them rush at Hou Fei extremely fast. Qin Yu, who has been badly injured, immediately becomes very worried. He recklessly controls the Flaming Sword to fly towards them.

    However, he is now seriously injured so his flying speed is too slow.

    Why havent you come yet, Uncle Lan?

    Seeing that he cannot stop them, Qin Yu becomes impatient.

    When the 2 Purple Demon aquatic dragons are about to stick their black single horns into Hou Feis body --

    Roar ~~~~

    A sky-shaking roar is heard. Hou Fei, who is in the form of a giant monkey, unexpectedly transforms again. His body shrinks extremely fast. In just a moment, it reverts to its original height, which is the same as that of a normal man.

    The 2 Purple Demon aquatic dragons therefore miss him, but they turn around instantly.

    No need to struggle, Hou Fei. It doesnt matter if you transform or not, you wont be able to escape the restraints I and Three-Eyed put on you. There is a hint of disdain in Azure Dragons eyes. However, his face changes color greatly all of a sudden, as does Old Freak Three-Eyeds face.

    After turning around, the 2 Purple Demon aquatic dragons charge at Hou Fei again.

    Pa!

    With a shake of his hands and legs, Hou Fei unexpectedly breaks loose from Azure Dragons and Old Freak Three-Eyeds shackles. He then moves his body like lightning and suddenly throws punches with his hands. Di Nai is immediately sent flying then reverts to his human form. His blood is scattered all over the air.

    Hou Feis small fist smashes into Di Jians body. Di Jian is also sent flying backwards several hundred meters. However, because he is more powerful than Di Nai, he is still in his true form.

    Fei Fei.

    Qin Yus eyes pop out of his head.

    How is this possible?

    The eyes of Di Long, Di Jian, Di Xu and Di Nai bulge out with astonishment. Azure Dragon and Old Freak Three-Eyed, who noticed there was something wrong first, are also looking at Hou Fei like looking at a monster. Teng Shan, Lou Ke and the others are looking at him in stupefaction as well.

    Although at the moment Hou Fei is only as tall as a normal man, he looks totally different from before.

    His hair is silvery, his eyes are golden and his mouth is purple.

    Compared to when he just entered berserk mode, Hou Fei is giving off an even more terrifying feeling.

    Transformed again?!

    Azure Dragon is in disbelief. Divine beasts are already very formidable in their original forms, but those capable of transformation can even raise their formidability by one level. For example, Old Freak Three-Eyeds 3rd eye is enough to improve his offense by one level.

    However, Hou Fei unexpectedly can even transform again after entering berserk mode.

    Whoever hurts my big brother -- dies.

    He looks coldly at Di Long. With a movement of his body, he arrives at Di Longs face. His speed is so fast that it even surpasses Qin Yus top speed. Even though Hou Feis body has become small, he is extremely dangerous at the moment.

    Compared to when he was in the huge monkey form, he is currently stronger and even one level faster as well.

    Di Xu beside Di Long only has enough time to immediately change into his true form. At the same time, he swings his long stick at Hou Fei. Hou Fei makes a wave of his hand. The black stick suddenly appears and smashes straight down on Di Xus long stick.

    Bang!

    With a strike of the stick, the Purple Demon aquatic dragon Di Xu transformed into is sent flying and forced to switch back to his human form. In just a while, 3 of the 4 Di brothers, Di Long, Di Xu and Di Nai, have lost all of their fighting capacity. Only Di Jian still has some power left to fight.

    Hou Fei casts a look at Di Long, who is secretly frightened at once. But Hou Fei mercilessly swings his stick down. He transformed again in berserk mode because he saw Qin Yu risk his life fighting Di Long.

    Die, Hou Fei!

    However, Hou Feis black stick cannot go down because a stream of demonic elemental energy holds it back completely. Afterwards, a claw silhouette pierces through the air to come at him. Hou Fei fuses the black stick with his body and immediately gets away several tens li by doing a somersault.

    Azure Dragon!

    Seeing Azure Dragon, he slightly frowns. Just now, it was none other than Azure Dragon who stopped him. Despite having become quite a lot more powerful, he is still no match for Azure Dragon. After all, Azure Dragon is an early Kongming stage divine beast.

    Hou Fei is merely a late Yuanying stage divine beast. Even though he has transformed twice, there is still a big gap in power between them. If he were at the late Dongxu stage, he would definitely be able to defeat Azure Dragon, but he has only reached the late Yuanying stage.

    Three-Eyed, perhaps not even you can imagine what kind of divine beast this Hou Fei fella is, right? Are you going to ignore such a threat? Azure Dragon says smilingly to Three-Eyed.

    Of course not.

    Because Old Freak Three-Eyed is using an illusion technique, he looks like a green-clad boy. At this moment, the midpoint between his eyebrows suddenly splits, revealing a vertical eye. A dark green shaft of light shoots straight at Hou Fei from this eye in an instant.

    Old Freak Three-Eyed has used a ruthless move right from the beginning.

    Bang!

    Hou Fei executes a strike by waving his stick. The dark green shaft of light hits the black stick. Hou Fei is sent flying backwards but the stick remains intact.

    What kind of holy weapon is that black stick? Old Freak Three-Eyed is shocked.

    The power of a top-grade holy weapon varies according to the power of the user whereas this critical attack of Old Freak Three-Eyed is extremely powerful. In his opinion, given Hou Feis power, even if the black stick was a top-grade holy weapon, it would have at least suffered some damage, but it was not damaged at all.

    What kind of holy weapon? Its your grandpas stove poker, specially used to smash toads like you.

    Hou Fei roars wildly.

    At this point, he no longer cares about tact and diplomacy. When someone wants to kill him, does he have to stand still to get killed? Moving like a flash, he arrives at the side of Old Freak Three-Eyed instantly and swings his stick down.

    Clang!

    The black stick and Old Freak Three-Eyeds lustrous right hand clash, but a metallic noise is heard.

    Are you still holding back, Three-Eyed?

    Azure Dragon roars furiously. In the blink of an eye, an extremely terrifying amount of demonic elemental energy surges forth from the surface of his body and covers an area of space that is several tens li in radius. Unable to dodge in time, Hou Fei is restrained by this seemingly limitless amount of energy and his speed drops sharply as a result.

    He struggles but the restraining force becomes more and more powerful.

    Hou Fei, your true form is extremely rare and capable. Too bad youre only at the late Yuanying stage. If you had reached the late Dongxu stage, today both Three-Eyed and I would be no match for you. With a divine beast like you around, perhaps even my dragon clan wont be able to rest easy. So, how can I let you live?

    At this moment, badly injured Di Long frowns: Dragon clan?

    To his knowledge, Azure Dragon is the only azure dragon in the Azure Dragon Palace, so where is the dragon clan from? Suddenly an idea pops into his mind. He has come up with a possibility, but he hides it at the bottom of his heart because killing Hou Fei and Qin Yu is the most important thing right now.

    When Azure Dragon is executing the killing blow --

    Ah ~~

    Hou Fei suddenly trembles in pain. Afterwards, his body gradually changes. From having silvery hair and golden eyes, he reverts to his original form, which looks like a normal monkey. Now he is totally powerless, as if suffering a serious illness.

    Ha-ha, looks like your transformation isnt free of negative effects.

    Azure Dragon laughs out loud.

    Hou Fei is both anxious and angry. According to his hereditary memories, berserk mode will make his bodys bones and muscles hurt after using it, but it does not have any side effects or time limits. However, in theory, its 2nd transformation is not something Hou Fei can do at his current level.

    It was only because he was too worried and extremely furious that he successfully transformed twice. But he was unable to stay in that form for long and, worse still, now he does not even have enough strength to raise his hand.

    This monkey was very arrogant moments ago, but now he got no power and is easy meat. Old Freak Three-Eyed says laughingly. At the moment he is not worried in the least. Without power, a divine beast is no different from a bedbug.

    He casts a glance at Azure Dragon: Why havent you killed him, Azure Dragon?

    I give you this chance, Three-Eyed. This monkey is an extremely rare divine beast, so why dont you kill him? Azure Dragon appears very magnanimous. Now he and Old Freak Three-Eyed are totally carefree. However, he suddenly looks doubtfully at Qin Yu.

    Not long ago he saw Qin Yu go all out for Hou Fei.

    So logically, now Qin Yu should be extremely anxious because they are about to kill Hou Fei, but Qin Yu does not look anxious at all and there is even a faint smile on his face. Why?

    Uncle Lan!

    Qin Yu immediately salutes and says. Seeing Uncle Lan suddenly appear with a big smile on his face, looking completely unworried, Qin Yu knows that nothing bad will happen to Hou Fei and naturally becomes relaxed.

    Hearing Qin Yus voice, Hou Fei opens his eyes wide in disbelief and looks in the distance with joy and surprise: Master!

    Azure Dragon and Old Freak Three-Eyed are shocked. If they cannot detect someone behind them, obviously this individual is much more powerful than they are. They turn around to see at once --

    Uncle Lans blue clothes are fluttering. There is a faint, indifferent smile on his face.

    You were too rash, Fei Fei.

    He makes a wave of his sleeve. A beam of light is shot into Hou Feis body. In just a moment, Hou Feis injuries are unexpectedly healed, as if they never existed.

    B7C9: Whose fault?

    Uncle Lan frowns when he sees that powerful demonic elemental energy restraining Hou Fei, his eyes radiating a tinge of coldness.

    That cold light makes the hearts of Azure Dragon and Old Freak Three-Eyed skip a beat like a thunderbolt from the 9th Heaven.

    Get lost!

    With a wave of his sleeve, Uncle Lan sends out a soft yet extremely enormous force. Even though Azure Dragon and Old Freak Three-Eyed are acknowledged as the 2 top experts of this overseas Xiuzhen world, this force sends them flying several hundred li without giving them any chances to resist at all. They can do absolutely nothing!

    Everybodys eyes pop out of their head!

    The 4 Di brothers look at this middle-aged man, who just appeared all of a sudden, in stupefaction. This man is too strong, simply too strong. With just a wave of his sleeve, he has sent the absolute no. 1 and no. 2 super experts of the overseas Xiuzhen world flying several hundred li.

    Teng Shan, Lou Ke and everybody else are so frightened that they do not dare to say anything. The fact that their bosses were sent flying has terrified them horribly.

    Master. Hou Fei says laughingly.

    Qin Yu cannot suppress the astonishment on his face. Even though he knew that Uncle Lan was very powerful, he did not expect Uncle Lan to be super-powerful like this! Who is Overlord Azure Dragon? He is an early Kongming stage divine beast, which is comparable to Dujie stage Xiuxianists, no less!

    Someone as strong as Dujie stage Xiuxianists was sent flying several hundred li helplessly with a wave of Uncle Lans sleeve. What level of power is this? Perhaps even immortals are only this powerful.

    Whats the matter, Xiao Yu? Uncle Lan looks smilingly at Qin Yu.

    Hou Fei says laughingly: Big brother must be amazed by your power, master. Humph, humph, those 2 fellas are pretty strong but I was still able to exchange a couple moves with them. They can bully me, but do they dare to be cocky in front of you?

    At the moment Hou Fei is holding his head high and looking around like a complacent rooster.

    On one side, the 4 Di brothers do not dare to utter a word. In fact, they are talking to each other urgently via holy sense communication.

    Big brother, didnt you say what Qin Yu had said about his school was false? But now Hou Fei calls that expert master and Qin Yu also calls him uncle. It seems they belong to some school. Di Xu is about to cry.

    Di Long is also feeling a bitter taste in his mouth.

    Well, dont blame me. How could I have known? Who couldve thought that what Qin Yu said was true? If he really got such strong backing, why did he still follow 6th brother obediently to the Nine Demons Hall? Now his anger is all gone.

    The no. 1 and no. 2 experts of the overseas Xiuzhen world were sent flying several hundred li with just a wave of a sleeve. What power level is this?

    They are totally powerless against someone so strong and can only accept whatever will be done to them.

    Originally they wanted to seek revenge but now they are in no mood for that. After all, the difference in power is too great, so great that it is insurmountable. If the enemy wants to kill the 4 of them, just a wave of his hand will suffice.

    Now we can only hope that this super expert spares our lives. Even haughty Di Jian does not have any arrogance for the moment.

    To be haughty, one must be powerful.

    A kid who behaves arrogantly in front of a big man is a stupid kid.

    The Di brothers have no choice but to hope that the opponent spares their lives this time. But just now they were very determined to kill Qin Yu and Hou Fei, so will he really do so? At least they cannot be sure if they will be spared or not, because this is totally up to the opponent.



    The moment Azure Dragon and Old Freak Three-Eyed are sent flying, they both know that they have run into an iron panel.

    They are sent flying several hundred li without being able to put up any resistance. Afterwards, that enormous force disappears instantly. Azure Dragon and Old Freak Three-Eyed regain balance at once, but they do not run away hurriedly at all.

    Run away?

    How could they dare to? Judging from that move alone, they can already know that the opponent is an extremely powerful expert. Given his power, it is completely useless for them to run away. Only by facing the opponent and having him spare their lives will they be able to live in safety later.

    Azure Dragon, you know a lot so what power level do you think he has reached? Old Freak Three-Eyed swallows nervously and says with fright. Now there is not one bit of arrogance left in him. The fact that the opponent is too strong has scared the life out of him.

    Azure Dragon ponders frowningly for a while then says: Dacheng stage experts can send us flying but they cant send us flying several hundred li. This man did this to us with such an easy wave of his sleeve, giving us absolutely no chance to resist and not harming us in the least, so he can only be

    An immortal?

    Old Freak Three-Eyed says uncertainly.

    Azure Dragon says with a nod: Yes, hes got an immortals power.

    Dont immortals all ascend to a higher world? How can he ? Even though Old Freak Three-Eyed is fairly powerful, he is far less knowledgeable than Azure Dragon. After all, Azure Dragon is a member of the legendary dragon clan so he was taught by his seniors.

    Azure Dragon says: Today Im going to tell you something. Immortals ascend to a higher world but there are still loose immortals. A loose immortal has to go through 12 tribulations. They become much stronger every time they overcome a tribulation. Those who have overcome the 4th tribulation are comparable to level-1 immortals in power.

    Level-1 immortals? Old Freak Three-Eyed frowns.

    Azure Dragon says disdainfully: Of course you dont know this. Let me tell you something. There are 9 levels for immortals while loose immortals have to undergo 12 tribulations. A 12th tribulation loose immortal is as powerful as a level-9 immortal. A 4th tribulation loose immortal is as powerful as a level-1 immortal. This worlds got no immortals, but its got loose immortals. According to legend, the power of 12th tribulation loose immortals is basically

    Azure Dragon only continues after thinking for a long time: Well, they can kill you like squashing an ant. They can also kill Dacheng experts like squashing ants.

    Only now does Old Freak Three-Eyed understands that no matter how good he is, there is always someone better than him.

    He and Azure Dragon are considered super experts in this overseas Xiuzhen world, but they are simply not in the same league as those loose immortals.

    How many loose immortal tribulations do you think that mysterious expert has gone through? Old Freak Three-Eyed asks doubtfully.

    Azure Dragon thinks for a while, recalling the occasions on which he saw the true power of some seniors in his clan, and says slowly: This mysterious expert is too powerful for me to give an exact estimation. But I feel that he must at least be a 6th tribulation loose immortal!

    At least a 6th tribulation loose immortal? Then that means hes at least comparable to a level-3 immortal? Old Freak Three-Eyed swallows his saliva. Now he finally understands how powerful the opponent is.

    Azure Dragon says with a nod: Lets go. Even if I went back to my clan, the experts in my clan wouldnt allow me to offend such an expert. Also 6th tribulation loose immortal is only my lowest estimation. Its simply impossible for me to tell exactly how powerful he is.

    Old Freak Three-Eyed also understands this. When someone is far too stronger than you, you really cannot judge their power.

    Azure Dragon had to base his estimation on the manner of his senior experts in the dragon clan and so on. He himself is too weak. With his status and position, the strongest experts he has met in the dragon clan were merely 6th tribulation loose demons. And he feels that in terms of manner, those seniors are inferior to the mysterious man just now.

    However, to those like Azure Dragon, there are basically no differences between 6th tribulation loose immortals and 12th tribulation ones because they stand absolutely no chance against any of these loose immortals.

    Lets go back and wait for his decisions. Azure Dragon hurriedly urges.

    He knows that if he shows an expert like that his respect and willingness to be punished, given their superior status, they will probably do nothing to him, but if he acts arrogantly to them, it is easy to imagine how he will end up.

    All right.

    Not daring to say much, Old Freak Three-Eyed immediately flies back together with Azure Dragon.



    I always feel that you are very powerful, Uncle Lan, but I never expected you to be Qin Yu says smilingly. However, before he can finish his sentence, he is interrupted by Hou Fei.

    Ha-ha, you didnt expect my master to be so powerful, right? Thats easy to understand. How can Hou Feis master be ordinary? Hou Fei says proudly with loud laughs, as if just now it was he who sent Azure Dragon and Old Freak Three-Eyed flying several hundred li. Hearing his loud laughter, Qin Yu can only smile.

    Uncle Lan says in an unconcerned manner: That little azure dragon and little toad are pretty strong in the overseas Xiuzhen world, but the real Xiuzhen world is limitless. You simply cant imagine its magnitude.

    Besides, there is also what is called the immortal world above the Xiuzhen world. Xiao Yu, you must look far ahead a bit. Your technique is very unique. I think its got huge potential. If you keep practicing it, even I cant predict your future accomplishments.

    Uncle Lans words make Qin Yus heart excited for a while.

    He certainly knows that these are words of encouragement but he is extremely confident in the Stellar Transformations technique that he has been practicing. The Xiuyao way, the Xiumo way and the Xiuxian way all require a practitioner to form a jindan then a yuanying whereas he imitates the boundless cosmos.

    Ill try my best. Qin Yu says with a nod.

    Uncle Lan nods then says smilingly: That little azure dragon and little toad are coming. Qin Yu and Hou Fei immediately look back. They see Azure Dragon and Old Freak Three-Eyed flying extremely fast towards them with very respectful expressions, just like the expression of child when meeting his teacher.

    It is an honor to meet you, senior. I am Yan Lang of the dragon clan. Azure Dragon bows and says.

    The eyes of Teng Shan, Lou Ke, their subordinates, and even the Di brothers all brighten. They have never known Azure Dragons real name and have always called him Overlord Azure Dragon. Now they have heard his real name.

    It is an honor to meet you, senior. I am Three-Eyed. Old Freak Three-Eyed says respectfully. He does not have an impressive background because he is the only Three-Blue-Eyed toad. He gave himself the name Three-Eyed to show his uniqueness.

    Uncle Lan nods his head.

    Dragon clan? The Yan family is a fairly powerful family in the dragon clan. Uncle Lan is totally unconcerned. Hearing what he said, Yan Lang is even more respectful because experts who know well about the situation inside the dragon clan are exceptionally rare, and they do not include ordinary loose immortals.

    Uncle Lan gives Old Freak Three-Eyed a look and says smilingly: Three-Blue-Eyed toad, perhaps youre one of a kind in this Xiuzhen world.

    Hearing this, Old Freak Three-Eyed is immediately delighted and beams proudly.

    Uncle Lan suddenly says with a frown: This time, my disciple and nephew are going on a journey in the overseas Xiuzhen world north of the Chaotic Astral Ocean, why did you want to kill my disciple and why did you injure Xiao Yu badly? Give me a clear explanation.

    Even though these words are said very indifferently and do not contain even a hint of anger, Azure Dragon and Old Freak Three-Eyed are both terrified.

    They know well that the answers they give now can even determine their little lives.

    Senior, this, this was because those Nine Demons Hall little worms were too excessive. They even wanted to let a terror jellyfish absorb Qin Yu

    Let a terror jellyfish absorb him? Uncle Lan raises his eyebrows, showing his killing intent. The Di brothers, who are observing him constantly in the distance, are terrified at once. Ignoring serious injuries, Di Long hurriedly comes over, bows and says: Senior, I am Di Long of the Nine Demons Hall. What Overlord Azure Dragon said is not the truth

    Shut up. Uncle Lan says gently.

    Immediately, Di Long dares to say no more. Uncle Lan looks at Azure Dragon, saying: You can continue. He then casts a glance at Di Long and brothers: Later do not interrupt when someone is talking. Take turns to tell me. Therell be a chance for you to talk so theres no need to be anxious. The 4 Di brothers are even more terrified but they do not dare to say anything and can only listen.

    Azure Dragon says with a nod: The Nine Demons Halls 8th majesty was killed so they sent 3 brothers to capture Qin Yu and bring him in for interrogation.

    Now Uncle Lan gives Qin Yu a look and smiles. Qin Yu can only pretend that he is focusing on something else. Uncle Lan knew that he killed 8th majesty long ago, but Uncle Lan is not a moralist.

    Brother Qin Yu is very nice so he followed the 3 majesties to the Nine Demons Hall and never tried to escape on the way. But when he arrived in the Nine Demons Hall, he was met with the prospect of getting absorbed by a terror jellyfish. Three-Eyed and I couldnt stand watching this so we secretly sent subordinates to rescue him.

    When Azure Dragon talks to this point, Old Freak Three-Eyed nods in agreement.

    Xiao Yu, is this what happened? Uncle Lan looks at Qin Yu.

    Qin Yu immediately nods and says smilingly: Uncle Lan, at that time I was being locked up in a prison and couldnt escape. Senior Overlord Azure Dragons and senior Three-Eyeds subordinates really helped me get out of it.

    Brother Qin Yu, dont call us seniors or something. When your uncle is such an expert, how can we be qualified to be your seniors? Just calling us by our names is enough. Old Freak Three-Eyed tells Qin Yu in a friendly manner.

    Uncle Lan nods and says: All right, you can continue.

    Azure Dragon says with a nod: Knowing that he had nearly got eaten, brother Qin Yu was furious and took the Nine Demons Halls Treasure Storing Palace away directly to vent his anger. The Nine Demons Hall was ruthless to him so his retaliation is perfectly normal. However, the Nine Demons Halls brothers then got into action, determined to kill him, which led to this fight on this black rock island.

    Old Freak Three-Eyed says without delay: Senior, on this black rock island, brother Qin Yu was confined in the Great Six Harmonies Heavenly Gates Formation of the Nine Demons Halls brothers. It is I who destroyed that formation with my 3rd eye, releasing him.

    Azure Dragon and Old Freak Three-Eyed talk in concert with each other, claiming only credit for what they did and trying to put all the blame on the heinously guilty Nine Demons Hall.

    The 4 Di brothers feel miserable but they are not allowed to cut in and can only get worried on the side.

    Qin Yu stands quietly beside Uncle Lan and does not interrupt either. However, Hou Fei is very complacent. After listening for a long time, Uncle Lan is still very calm and not angry with the Nine Demons Halls brothers, but the 4 Di brothers thoughts are in turmoil.

    End of b7c9.
