Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 1166 – Saving Others

Shan Wugu returned to his senses. Seeing the question in Qin Yu’s eyes, he said, “Yes, it’s right, there are many people that have been poisoned.”

Qin Yu twisted his fingers. “Then I’ll let you live for now.” His gaze was cold and callous. “I believe you won’t run away.”

The blood octopus desperately nodded.

Whoosh –

Solitary Westgate’s figure flickered and he appeared in front of Qin Yu. When he saw Qin Yu, he sighed with emotion, “Perhaps I should have gone together with you in the past.”

Although he was calm on the surface, his emotions rolled like waves within him. It had only been so many years. To cultivators of their level, this could be called a fleeting moment. It might be an exaggeration, but it wasn’t long at all.

The further one climbed up the Great Dao, the more difficult it became. To have a few degrees of improvement in two or three hundred years was worth celebrating.

But now, he saw that the rise in Qin Yu’s strength was hundreds if not thousands of points. If he didn’t see it with his own eyes he wouldn’t believe it himself.

Qin Yu smiled and shook his head, “Westgate, you are concerned about your wife and child, but I am desperate, otherwise I wouldn’t have gone out and become a wanderer.”

Solitary Westgate’s complexion stiffened.

Qin Yu looked at him and then glanced at Shan Wugu. Shan Wugu lowered his head, concealing his expression.

He took a deep breath and said, “Everyone, come with me.”

After handing Gu Ling’er to a female Demonic Path cultivator who had shining eyes, Qin Yu flicked his sleeves. He brought the two people away and disappeared with them.action

“The Holy Monarch’s strength…has surpassed the heavens and earth!”

“The Demonic Path has declined for many years. Now that His Majesty has returned, the days of future glory are just around the corner!”

“The auspicious days of the Darkness Faction and Immortal Origin have come to an end!”

The Demonic Path cultivators shook with excitement. But, they had no idea that the mentality of their Holy Monarch had completely collapsed by now.

Ning Ling and You Qi had vanished in the great battle that destroyed the Demonic Path’s Holy Land!

Qin Yu’s voice trembled, “Just what happened?”

His face was dark to the point of dripping water. Solitary Westgate and Shan Wugu stiffened, their faces pale.

Qin Yu took a deep breath and closed his eyes before opening them, “Sorry, that wasn’t aimed at you.”

Solitary Westgate bitterly smiled. “I understand…but your strength really is a bit scary right now.” When his anger burst out, that alone was enough to leave him gasping for breath.

This wasn’t something that could be summarized with just ‘scary’.

He looked at Qin Yu and continued to say, “We have all been searching in these past years. Although we haven’t found Ning Ling or You Qi’s whereabouts, we have confirmed that this matter is related to Immortal Origin and the darkness.”

Shan Wugu said, “In the past, the Dark Night Supreme Seat colluded with the Darkness Faction. They joined hands with Immortal Origin’s forces and broke into the Demonic Path’s small world. The war was bloody and frigid, but according to how things ended, capturing Ning Ling and You Qi should have been the main purpose of their invasion.

“In that war, the darkness and Immortal Origin fought against each other. In addition to how investigation these past years, it’s likely that Ning Ling and You Qi were captured by each side.”

Solitary Westgate rubbed his chin, “In truth, this has always been something I couldn’t figure out. You had already left this world, so how could they have the foresight to capture Ning Ling and You Qi ahead of time to threaten you?”

Qin Yu fell silent, but he had an idea. The reason the two of them were captured was highly likely related to the Path of 10,000 Souls…someone knew of Ning Ling’s status and wanted to capture her for their own benefit.

But what about You Qi? Why had she been captured? This explanation didn’t make sense. But right now, Qin Yu wasn’t in the mood to mull over whether this made sense or not.

Ning Ling and You Qi had been captured and their safety was still unknown…he wanted to kill!

With Qin Yu’s current strength, just a thought would bring the entire world within his perception. It might not be completely accurate, but an approximate position was enough.

“I’ll be back soon.” As he said this he stepped out. Space twisted, covering his figure.

…

Headquarters of the Darkness Faction – Broken Cloud Mountain. This land was shrouded in darkness all year round and no light shined here.

Suddenly, a thunderous peal rang out and the darkness that covered the heavens cracked apart.

A wild shaking strength spread out like a tide, ruthlessly breaking into Broken Cloud Mountain. The countless palaces and pavilions hidden in the darkness collapsed as mournful howls filled the air.

“Enemy raid!”

“Who is so bold to dare intrude into my Dark Holy Land!”

“You are courting death!”

In the chaos, several forms shot into the air. They were wreathed in killing intent, their powerful dark aura making one’s heart quiver.

Qin Yu stepped out. He raised a hand and pressed it down. With a bang, the void instantly condensed into a mountain.

The complexions of the several Darkness Faction powerhouses changed. Before they could even cry out loud, they were swatted away like flies.

Puff –

Puff –

Blood gushed out from their noses and mouths. Several of them twisted together, flesh and blood cracking apart.

With hatred in his heart, Qin Yu didn’t care about how merciless his attacks were.

“How insolent! Who dares to rush into my Broken Cloud Mountain!” A deep roar came from within the mountain. In the next moment a hand shot into the skies, grasping at Qin Yu.

This hand was like an animal claw. Although it had five fingers, it ended in sharp claws and its surface was covered with thick scales. And scariest of all, the aura released by this great hand was terrifying, as if it could shatter the skies with one blow!

Qin Yu coldly snorted and punched. At this time, a roar echoed out from the void. A phantom appeared behind him – this was the Abyssal Titan!

He had been enlightened that light and darkness were one. This powerful bloodline power came from the abyss, and now after his enlightenment, he could use a few points of its power even after returning to the vast brightness world.

As Qin Yu punched out, the Abyssal Titan followed in kind. In a flash, the palm collided with the fist.

“Ahh!” A bitter wail filled the air. The large hand with claws and scales collapsed and shattered. Countless broken bones and pieces of rotten flesh splattered in all directions, falling all over Broken Cloud Mountain like meteorites and smashing large and small holes into it.

In the blink of an eye, countless Darkness Faction cultivators died in the wreckage.

“You dare to harm me? You deserve death!”

Rumble rumble –

The entire Broken Cloud Mountain shivered. Dark energy that was terrifying to the extreme erupted like an awakening volcano.

It was as thick as ink, covering up everything. One could only see two giant red lanterns shining in the black fog.

Qin Yu’s face was cold and his expression faint, “Dark Night Supreme Seat, I never thought that after our goodbyes last time, you would have turned into such a monster.”

The two red lanterns in the strong darkness seemed to enlarge, turning into circular pupils. They were actually two horrifying eyeballs!

“Qin Yu, it’s you, it’s actually you!” The low and deep voice was filled with excitement. “Haha, I never imagined that you would come back alive. Wonderful, this is too wonderful!”

Rumble rumble –

A loud explosion came from the dark energy. As stones tumbled down, the whole of Broken Cloud Mountain shivered.

A head drilled out. One could no longer see the Dark Night Supreme Seat’s original appearance. Two sharp horns jutted out from a head, bending back like sabers…in terms of looks alone, this was an extremely ugly goat.

That’s right, it was a goat. The reason it was ugly was that giant sores covered its face. Some of them had been torn open and yellow and white pus flowed out, mixing together with the rotten flesh. It was a revolting sight.

Now, this ugly head’s red eyes were glaring at Qin Yu, filled with cruelty and viciousness. “In the past, I was almost killed by you. Even though I managed to turn misfortune into blessing and gain my current great strength, I have never once forgotten this hatred.

“Now, you unexpectedly came back. How could I not be wild with joy? Qin Yu, come and greet your life’s final nightmare.”

Qin Yu shook his head, “So noisy!”

Did he come here to listen to the nonsense of others?

The Dark Night Supreme Seat was enraged. After transforming into a devil life form, the desire for slaughter and destruction had corroded his mind. Now that he faced Qin Yu, he was unable to control his own mood.

Of course, he didn’t want to control it either. In the eyes of the Dark Night Supreme Seat, killing Qin Yu would be easy with his current strength.

No…he couldn’t let him die so easily…

He had to teach Qin Yu how stupid it was to enrage a noble and dignified devil life form.

Despair and suffering mixed together, becoming the only thing left in his life!

With a diabolical grin, the Dark Night Supreme Seat attacked. Endless dark energy instantly erupted and submerged Qin Yu’s figure.

“I will let you taste all the unbearable pains of the world. Then, when your soul becomes filled with resentment and despair, I will devour you and have you become a part of my power.”

“You talk too much!”

Bang –

The dark energy blew apart. A dazzling light arrived like a great sun. Like sharp arrows, it tore countless holes.

“This is impossible!” The Dark Night Supreme Seat screamed, his eyes widening with fear and alarm, “The purification of light, how could you control this strength!?”

His figure moved as he tried to run away. But before he could move, he was covered in light.

He screamed miserably. The dark energy that covered the Dark Night Supreme Seat’s body melted away without a trace like snow under the hot summer sun.

As the light fell on his body, a fierce sizzling sound rang out. Flesh and blood broke apart, emitting plumes of black smoke.

Qin Yu stepped forward. His entire body continuously released light.

He was dazzling and blinding. Because space was blurred by the light, he seemed solemn and sacrosanct, instinctively making others feel awe just by looking at him.

“In the great battle when the Demonic Path’s small world was destroyed, you captured a person. Give her to me…otherwise I will exterminate the darkness!”

Within the light, the wailing Dark Night Supreme Seat roared, “Qin Yu, if you dare kill me, you will never see that woman!”

Indeed, they had captured Ning Ling and You Qi.

Qin Yu roared out loud. The power of light that he released suddenly rose, making him look like a great sun in human form.

“I will not be threatened!”

He would not compromise, otherwise recovering Ning Ling and You Qi would only be the babblings of a madman.

If the Dark Night Supreme Seat wouldn’t speak, then he would kill them all. He didn’t believe that there wasn’t a single cultivator in the entire Darkness Faction that didn’t fear death.

“Ahh! Save me! Save me!”

“I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die!”

The massive number of Darkness Faction cultivators on Broken Cloud Mountain all had their bodies pierced through by nails of light. They struggled on the ground, screaming in pain.
