Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 1350 – Kill! Kill! Kill!

It was previously mentioned that the Darkness Faction and Mysterious Clan both saw the other as the biggest opponents and monitored each other’s actions closely.

In Bounded Zero Place, when the Mysterious Clan reacted, the Darkness Faction immediately found out about it and quickly went to confirm the news – the movement of the Mysterious Clan meant that the news of the Inextinguishable Flame had been leaked!

The news reached the West Desolate the quickest. The king was furious and ordered the army to break into Li Zhouyi’s residence and take him.

Soon, the previous Desolate King came out and had a secret discussion with the current Desolate King. Half a day later, with two princes leading a group of ten True Saints, they appeared in the Imperial Palace Array.

Through this array, they gathered numerous puppets and entered the Southwest Desolate fragmented region. They were not going to hold back anything to get the Inextinguishable Flame.

Third Prince Li Yun smiled as he held his hands respectfully and spoke softly such that only his brother could hear, “I have to say, sixth brother, your plot was good.”

Li Zhouyi smiled and paid him respects as well, “Third brother, what are you talking about. I don’t understand.”

Li Qingyun’s smile deepened, “It does not matter if you do not understand, as long as the Life Death Contract that you signed is real. You have to work hard. If we are unable to find the Inextinguishable Fire, no one will be able to save you.”

His breathing faltered as Li Zhouyi lifted his head, “Third brother, don’t worry. I will try my best.”

Buzz –

The sound of the array starting could be heard as everyone entered the stone building and sat down. They surrounded the array carved onto the ground. There were several different big and small stone buildings surrounding it.

The inner layer of the stone buildings was the largest and they grew smaller as they were further away. Although they sat outside the array, they still belonged to the array.

As the southwest fragmented area was half separated from the Great Desolate, they could at most summon cultivators of the True Saint level and below. Moreover, there was a limit to the number.

The two princes along with the ten True Saints were far from the West Desolate’s true abilities, but it was at the limit of what the array could support.

The stone door closed and darkness flooded in, engulfing Li Zhouyi inside. The calm fa?ade he had on broke; he gritted his teeth as a sinister look flooded his features.

There was one thing that Li Qingyun was right about. To get this chance, he had bet everything he had. He had to succeed!

He definitely could not fail. Whoever dared to stop him…must die!

His ears started to ring and Li Zhouyi’s consciousness was jolted for a second. The sinister expression on his face faded as he lowered his head, seeming to fall asleep.

At this moment, it was as if his consciousness was riding a very bumpy mountain train and it was rapidly descending on the last part of the journey.

Going down, down, going down all the way!

A stifling and suffocating feeling continued to attack him.

He could not hold on any longer.

In the next moment, it was as if he had been pulled out of water and his first reaction was to take big gulps of air.

Breathe –

Breathe –

In the darkness, Li Zhouyi opened his eyes. He stood up to get a feel for his new puppet body. He pushed open the door and walked out.

Of the ten True Saints, only three appeared in front of him. Their expressions were not great as they greeted him, “Your Highness.”

He frowned before turning calm again. Li Zhouyi turned to look at the stone doors that were still closed behind him. He waved and growled, “Let’s go!”

Woosh –

Woosh –

The four of them flew up into the sky above the clean and spotless palace and over the high black soil mountain. In a few seconds, they disappeared from sight.

After they left, the rest of the stone doors started to open. Li Qingyun was the first to walk out of the palace. As he looked in the direction Li Zhouyi had disappeared in, a mocking look appeared on his face.

“Your Highness, will there be trouble if the sixth prince complains to His Majesty that we are not cooperating?” A True Saint frowned and asked.

Li Qingyun waved his hand, “Don’t worry. Sixth brother is smart. When His Majesty ordered him and I to come to the southwest fragmented area, he already knew. He won’t waste time on this.” action

And this was why he had shown that mocking smile.

An abandoned prince had to keep being tormented. Other than making people irritated, what other use was there? Why couldn’t he just accept his fate?

Another True Saint asked, “Your Highness, what should we do now?”

Li Qingyun smiled, “Nothing. I have always been curious about the southwest fragmented area. Since we are here, I want to look around.” He paused and his smile deepened, “Sixth brother is more anxious so let’s allow him to work a bit more. Since that group has heard about the news, they will not let it go so easily.”

He stepped out, “Let’s go. Hopefully I can meet a beautiful lady here and do what is supposed to happen.”

……

Qin Yu tried to determine the position of the Inextinguishable Flame. Initially, he thought that since he had already obtained a portion of the Inextinguishable Flame, this would not be difficult. But very soon he realized that he had thought too positively.

Although the furnace could sense the Inextinguishable Flame’s existence, it could only sense its general direction. It was as if the Inextinguishable Flame’s aura was being covered by some kind of power.

This was slightly troublesome.

The small world fragments in Bounded Zero Place had always been circulating at random. Along with the turbulent space waves, they were always moving. It was not possible to accurately determine the position. Once too much time had passed, the small world fragment that the Inextinguishable Flame was in would move far away and the effort to find its previous location would be wasted.

The situation was better than before. At least now, Qin Yu was sure that the Inextinguishable Flame existed and could definitely help the furnace’s transformation. This was good news. However, to use a dumb method to find it was very difficult.

Qin Yu was slightly troubled. He had spent so much effort and suffered so much. How could he just leave after a small mouthful?

However, it was not that he had no ideas. Since the Darkness Faction could obtain the Inextinguishable Flame, it means that they were able to locate it.

Since they could build the Eyes of Darkness at the boundaries of Bounded Zero Place, Qin Yu was confident. Although he could not do it himself, the Darkness Faction would definitely have a way. This seemed like a good choice.

But the problem was, as a group of fraudulent people who could not really die, it would be extremely difficult to force any information out of them.

Unless, he could really threaten their survival.

Curse? Qin Yu had seen this before and suffered quite a few of them. He had one high quality curse mark on him as well.

However, its main use was to defend. Moreover, Qin Yu did not have much knowledge when it came to curses.

If there were things he did not understand, he could just ask Stone Pagoda!

With the ability to answer a hundred thousand questions, along with his mysterious double attribute aura, Qin Yu had high hopes.

Stone Pagoda had hardly let anyone down. According to him, he coincidentally did some research regarding puppets back when he was stuck in darkness.

Stone Pagoda spoke a lot but the summary was that there was one called Breakthrough Mark that could directly hit the actual body through the puppet.

This kind of mark had to coordinate with the cultivation and form a source energy. In Qin Yu’s opinion, it was not difficult to learn.

From Stone Pagoda’s tone, Qin Yu could tell he was a bit surprised at Qin Yu’s opinion. Usually Qin Yu would be proud of this response, but he was in no mood to be.

After trying a few times and confirming that he could activate the Breakthrough Mark, Qin Yu’s eyes lit up. Now, all that was left was to find a few cultivators from the World of Darkness to try it on.

This time, before Qin Yu could find some to attack, they were brought to him. There was movement in the space and he could sense it beforehand. He hid his aura and hid.

Qin Yu had always been doing this to minimize contact with other cultivators and reduce trouble. But very quickly, his expression changed. Because the cultivators who appeared on this small world fragment did not hesitate as they dashed in his direction.

They were here for him!

Qin Yu’s first thought was that the cultivators from the World of Darkness were here. Since he had killed the puppet of a prince and left many others dead, they would not let him go.

And from having had a small portion of the Inextinguishable Flame, having a small part of its aura was normal.

Fine, to be honest. Qin Yu thought that after the furnace swallowed the flame, it could hide the aura. However, things were different from what he assumed.

Without time to be impatient or regret, his opponent had reached him. He could either wait or attack…he just had to kill them.

Bom –

A loud sound could be heard from the ground as Qin Yu shot up to the sky and was ready to fight.

Soon, he realized that he was wrong. The ones that had arrived were not cultivators from the World of Darkness.

The aura was familiar…the Mysterious Clan!

It was them.

Qin Yu frowned. He could not understand why the cultivators from the Mysterious Clan had to interfere. Weren’t they also enemies with the Darkness Faction? Did they collude to attack him?

Seeing delight on the two people’s faces, Qin Yu confirmed that it was not a misunderstanding. They were here for him. Since he could not understand, he could not be bothered. They were already here to attack him. Was there really a need to understand what was going on?

He could not be bothered. Fight first then think!

Boom –

Boom –

Following two loud explosions, the delight on the two cultivators' faces turned to anger.

With their mouths wide open, blood spurted out. The two of them were like kites that got cut off as they flew off into the distance.

The smell of blood permeated the air. The wind blew it towards him and Qin Yu subconsciously breathed in.

His expression changed immediately.

An intense murderous intent erupted in him like a volcano. In that moment, it completely covered his emotions. Above his eyes, tiny veins appeared on his forehead. Blood flowed into his eyes, turning them red. He looked as if he was about to cry tears of blood.

Kill!

Kill!

Kill!

In that moment, Qin Yu’s breath became heavy as a murderous intent flooded his chest, completely taking over his consciousness.

All that was left was an instinct…kill them and turn them all into ashes!
