Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 1554B – Finish Setting Up

Golden Crow Tribe territory.

In the tent, Qin Yu and Prajna sat facing each other.

“Master, this is important and I have to verify once more. Are you sure?”

Prajna bowed, “General, don’t worry. I guarantee it with my life.” Flipping his hands, he took out a moon-white, pebble-like object. “General, once the Boundary Breaking Seal is set up, place this in it.”

“Okay!”

Qin Yu’s eyes flashed, “Then, I will have to make my move.”

……

Desolate men camp.

After a day of silence, someone finally could not take it and knocked on their door.

It was the Green Willow Tribe!

It was rumored that this tribe’s totem was an ancient willow that had been in this world since ancient times.

Five hundred years ago, the Divine Willow tried to break through but failed. It suffered lightning strikes from heaven. Although it did not die, it suffered huge losses.

In the next five hundred years, the Green Willow Tribe spent a lot of resources and did everything they could. However, they were unable to change their status. The Divine Willow was deteriorating and was close to death.

Because of this, they were the first to come and ask for help. If the Desolate men were the ones that caused the Golden Crow Totem to have such a change, maybe they could save the Divine Willow.

Of course, this was just an assumption. But to the Green Willow Tribe, who were at their wits’ end, they would grab hold onto anything. Even if it was a weak straw.

“General Jinwu, our tribe’s Divine Willow Totem is in danger. If you are able to help, we are willing to consider any conditions that you have. If you have any concerns, our Green Willow Tribe can swear to shift away from Traverse Mountain and not fight with the Desolate men anymore!”

The Tribe Leader of the Green Willow Tribe had a haggard face with wrinkles extending from the corners of his eyes.

Qin Yu was waiting for this. He had no reason to decline. Moreover, as the new Barbarian King, it was his duty to help his people.

“I can try. However, I need a branch from your Divine Willow…the result will be up to fate.”

It was hard to predict fate. But, whether the Divine Willow could be saved depended on Rourou. She was a key factor in Qin Yu’s plans.

No one knew what Qin Yu promised Rourou for her to agree to help. But very soon, General Jinwu announced that he was going into seclusion to try and save the Green Willow Tribe’s Totem, the Divine Willow that was about to wither away.

This required a special Divine Way and would cause something strange to happen. He could not be disrupted while this happened.

The Tribe Leader of the Green Willow Tribe immediately ordered his entire tribe, or what was left of them, to set up a formation around the Desolate camp. The tribe only had one group of about ten thousand people left.

They threatened everyone else and prevented anyone from trying to enter while General Jinwu was in seclusion. They swore to guard him with their lives!

No one doubted the resolution of the Green Willow Tribe and no one was dumb enough to challenge them. On that day, although the Desolate men were in the barbarian territory, they were the safest they had ever been.

Numerous gazes looked on, waiting to see General Jinwu come out to verify for themselves whether he was speaking the truth!

……

Capital, West Desolate.

Behind the beaded curtain sat the king. He suddenly frowned. He stood up and stepped forwards before vanishing.

A moment later, he appeared in a deep part of the palace. It was a fortified palace. The king’s figure appeared as he looked up at a huge light curtain.

Above this light curtain was a picture of the vast territory of the Barbarian Clan. The markings were extremely clear. It ranged from huge mountains and rivers to smaller tribal grasslands. It was obvious how much effort the West Desolate had put into penetrating the Western Barbarian Land.

For example, the smuggling was an important element.

Of course this Light Curtain Map was not only to annotate the details in the Western Barbarian Land.

At this moment, an earthquake seemed to occur in the picture. It was like a stone dropping into the water, causing numerous waves.

The king lifted a finger and the Light Curtain Map zoomed in quickly. It presented everything around the earthquake source clearly.

The Golden Crow Tribe!

The source of the earthquake was around this tribe.

The king immediately willed himself to use his divine sense to connect to far away.

Closing his eyes, he was like a statue and did not move.

Two hours passed without him moving. He occasionally frowned.

Finally, he let out a long breath as he opened his eyes. There was a smile on his face.

His smile widened as it stretched across his face. He eventually burst out laughing.

“Hahahaha!”

His laughter reverberated around the most secretive place in the imperial palace and echoed. The old eunuchs standing guard outside all remained bent over, not looking up at the palace at all.

However, in their dim yellow eyes, there was relief and curiosity. They wondered what could cause the usually thoughtful king, who hid his emotions, to laugh like this.

Success!

On the Light Curtain Map, the source of the earthquake disappeared and a bleak red dot appeared where the Golden Crow Tribe was.

If there were outsiders and they looked closely at the map, they would realize that there were many red dots on the huge map.

The king slowly stopped smiling as he looked slowly at all the red dots. His eyes lit up.

Compared to the entire territory of the Barbarian Clan, the number of red dots now was not a lot.

But as long as enough time passed, they would accumulate slowly and eventually cover the entire thing.

The fight between the Desolate area and the barbarians had existed for many many years. There were shifts in power, with each side occasionally becoming stronger and weaker. Yet, there had been no one who could pacify the war.

But now, there was hope!

Destroy the West Barbarians and end this war. He would become a king that the West Desolate had never had before.

When that time came, all the rules and obstacles blocking him would crumble.

He was going to become the true ruler of the West Desolate. As long lasting as the sun!

……

Desolate camp.

Qin Yu’s tent.

The turbulence in the air slowly faded away.

The illusion from the formation finally disappeared completely. It was like a drop of clear water falling into a clear lake. It did not leave any signs.

The Boundary Breaking Seal was complete!

Although Qin Yu was the one who set it up, he could not sense it even though he was concentrating with all his might.

It was brilliant!

But Great Shaman Mengshan could actually deactivate the Boundary Breaking Seal with a single stone. Extremely powerful.

Qin Yu was the one who set up the Boundary Breaking Seal and Stone Pagoda played a huge role here. However, it was all thanks to Rourou that they were able to be so efficient and achieve success on the first try.

This mysterious being possessed unfathomable powers!

So no matter how she mocked and treated Qin Yu with dissatisfaction, he always smiled at her.

Skin would always grow thicker to the point that it could become invulnerable!

As he looked at the leftover material from making the Boundary Breaking Seal, Qin Yu’s eyes flickers.

They succeeded in one try and yet still had enough material for a second one.

All of the materials were extremely precious. If not, the materials would not have been handed to Qin Yu personally by a Half-King’s illusion.

Keeping it a secret was one thing, but the second reason was because the materials were extremely precious!

Before this, Qin Yu already had a plan, but he was not able to confirm and find a suitable way to execute it.

But now Qin Yu sensed the darkness far away. There was a small possibility, but he still had to find out how.

He waved his sleeve to store the materials. He then put his hands together and said seriously, “Thank you for your help.”

Rourou rolled her eyes, “Anyone can say good things. If you are really sincere, then give me something concrete.”

Qin Yu looked solemn, “Please speak. If I can do it, I will!” action

Rourou lifted her finger and pointed, “This pagoda is quite nice.”

She had a similar request before.

“Cough!”

Qin Yu chuckled bitterly, “I have use for Stone Pagoda and I have made promises to him. I can’t do anything until I fulfil them.”

Stone Pagoda nodded rapidly. As he saw Rourou glare at him, he was shocked and his illusion immediately vanished as he hid back in Qin Yu.

“Hehe! Man cannot be trusted!” Rourou turned to leave, “Then put it on the tab. Little Qin Yu, let me remind you that credit is temporary. When you have to return it, I hope you won’t be too upset.”
