Chapter 1722 – Eventually Have to Leave
Qin Yu did not give the swordsmen any chance to hesitate or fight amongst themselves. He stared directly at Pavilion Mountain Sect Master’s face and pointed, “Then it shall be you.”
Pavilion Mountain Sect Master’s face changed drastically, but before he could react, the s.p.a.ce near him started to crumble apart.
“Ah!”
A desperate shriek came as Pavilion Mountain Sect Master was sucked into a vortex created by the broken s.p.a.ce. He soon disappeared from everyone’s sight.
All of this happened in an instant and no one had time to react.
One of the members of the Main Sword Masters, the super powerful Pavilion Mountain Sect Master, was finished in the blink of an eye? A coldness started to form in the rest of the swordsmen’s hearts. If Qin Yu had chosen them just now…the outcome would have been the same!
One breath, two breaths, three breaths.
Time pa.s.sed by slowly but nothing changed since Pavilion Mountain Sect Master was taken away.
The outcome was obvious!
Spring Wind Sect Master Xie Chungang said in a deep voice, “Pavilion Mountain Sect Master fought in the battle against Han Zhengyang. He unfortunately lost his life and will receive a burial as per the proper customs of the sword sects.”
In an instant, everyone regained their senses and the elite swordsmen of various sword sects nodded in agreement.
Qin Yu cupped his hands, “Sect Master Xie is thoughtful.” He turned and changed into a sword shadow. Then, he disappeared in a flash.
Gu White’s expression was calm, “Everyone, I will take my leave too.” He swiped his sleeve out and hooked onto Mei Shenglin before he left. He was even faster than Qin Yu when he left.
He did not have a suppressive aura like Qin Yu and if he did not run now, he would be in trouble by himself.
The nine Sect Masters and a few elites from various sword sects were silent.
“Whatever happened today is as I said before. I am not prepared to do anything further and I hope that everyone else can understand.” Xie Chungang spoke slowly as his eyes swept across the crowd.
East Mountain Sect Master sighed deeply, “Then in the future…”
“Future things shall be left to the future.” Wei Heng’s face was dark too, “I have already decided to be on good terms with the Opening Heavens Sword Sect. If anyone else has other ideas, please forgive me for not accompanying you.” f?ee????૦ѵ?Ɩ. ???
He stepped forward and flew off.
The remaining swordsmen’s expressions faltered slightly. They could not stay put after Wei Heng said his last words. Otherwise, if Qin Yu heard anything about them in the future, who knew what he will start to think.
Thinking about Pavilion Mountain Sect Master…
“This shall be the agreement then. Everyone, you may leave now. Also, to prevent causing fear, I will temporarily cover up this scene first and will take care of it in the future.”
Xie Chungang waved his hand dismissively. He swiped his sleeve across the sky and instantly, the spring wind and a light rain came. It shrouded the Frost Cold Sword Sect within.
“Sect Master Xie has considered things well.”
“Farewell!”
“I will take my leave first!”
Shoosh –
Woosh –
One by one, sword shadows shot through the sky.
Although the group had not exchanged many words, they were all elite swordsmen and they knew one thing clearly.
The skies in Swallow Mountain were going to change!
Qin Yu claimed that he resealed the sealed item again, but no one knew the truth. Just now, he had simply pointed a finger and said a few words and yet that simple gesture had decided the life and death of Pavilion Mountain Sect Master.
This felt like a strong gust of wind had hit their hearts.
Who was not fearful? Who dared to be fearless?
Xie Chungang sucked in a mouth of air and then slowly breathed it out. He looked at the mountain gate of the Frost Cold Sword Sect with a bitter smile on his face.
Among the ten sects, the Frost Cold Sword Sect and the Spring Wind Sword Sect were always the strongest and they fought with each other in the dark. They wanted more influence in the Main Sword Masters and to become the number one sword sect in Swallow Mountain.
Now, the Frost Cold Sword Sect was ruined. After Han Zhengyang turned into a demon, there was no way for the sword sect to be revived. This was meant to be the luckiest thing that happened to the Spring Wind Sword Sect in decades. However…Xie Chungang was not too hopeful now.
The unrest was just about to begin!
Perhaps it was an unreasonable request for the Spring Wind Sword Sect to simply wish for its current position to be maintained. With a long sigh, Xie Chungang shot into the air. He was the last to leave but he did not touch anything in the Frost Cold Sword Sect.
The one who decided the tide of this battle was Qin Yu, and he was naturally the one who would receive the most benefits.
Xie Chungang would definitely not be foolish with something like this.
……
Opening Heavens Sword Sect.
Shoosh –
A sword shadow shot by and Qin Yu appeared. His face was slightly pale and his eyes looked a bit dull.
Hu Zhiming had been anxiously waiting outside all along and he hurried over, “Sect Master, how is the situation?”
The events at the Frost Cold Sword Sect had not been announced yet, and only a few people knew the secret.
Qin Yu glanced at him and waved his hand, “It is alright.”
As he said this, he walked towards the mountain gate, “I will need to close myself in cultivation for a while. If anything goes wrong in the meantime, please inform Grand Elder. Make sure that no one disturbs me.”
In a few steps, Qin Yu disappeared. Hu Zhiming was left behind, wide-eyed, dazed, and at a loss.
He did not expect that Qin Yu’s answer would be so plain and simple.
It is alright?
What is alright? Sect Master, don’t you know what you did? You challenged the Main Sword Masters in such a confrontational manner in front of so many swordsmen.
The situation of the Sword Prison losing control had not been settled. It was ridiculous to say that everything had settled down.
If the Main Sword Masters could not settle things with the Opening Heavens Sword Sect, how would it maintain its power in the future?
Looking at Qin Yu as he left, Hu Zhiming rubbed his face helplessly. He was starting to consider whether or not he should run.
It felt like the Opening Heavens Sword Sect was standing on an active volcano that could spurt out red hot magma at any moment. It would directly turn everything into ashes.
However, before his thoughts could become a reality, there was a loud boom and the protective sect array was activated. It isolated the sect from the outside.
Hu Zhiming’s face immediately turned pale. This…had they been pushed to a corner such that they were going to stand their ground and try to hold it out? He wanted to raise his palm and slap himself. What were you staring at just now? You should have walked off directly!
Now…
He looked at the activated protective sect array. A thought flashed through his mind but Hu Zhiming gave up his thoughts of asking the Grand Elder to reopen the protective sect array again.
He was seeking death!
Wearing a look of despair, Hu Zhiming turned back…at this point, what else could he do? He could only rely on the heavens.
“Stop.”
It was the Grand Elder.
Hu Zhiming cupped his hands together, “Grand Elder, please give me your orders.”
Rourou’s voice came by his ears, “You, stay here. No matter who comes, stop them outside.” There was a brief pause before she continued, “Tell them to finish their tasks before the array is opened.”
Then, her aura disappeared.
Hu Zhiming lifted his head and there was a look of puzzlement on his face.
What is this situation?
……
Secret Sword Peak Realm.
The silver moon hung high in the sky.
The little monkeys that normally loved to wind up Qin Yu seemed to have sensed a terrifying aura. They scampered away and were nowhere to be found.
There was dead silence on that sword peak. Not a single sound could be heard.
Qin Yu’s legs were weak and he almost fell to the ground. Gritting his teeth, he asked, “Rourou, what is this?”
Woosh –
Rourou appeared in mid air. She looked at him, “Don’t worry. White Feifei’s severed hand is living in you.”
Living in me?
This phrase alone did not sound good.
Qin Yu’s eyes bulged wide open, you aren’t scheming against me too right? He normally would not think this, but this time, he had been frightened slightly after the example with the Frost Cold Sword Sect.
Rourou scoffed. Her teeth were pressing together, “If I wanted to harm you, I would not go through so much trouble. It would be a simple job of opening my mouth and eating you. Don’t place yourself too high.”
Her expression was sour.
Qin Yu cupped his hands, “I am wrong.”
He had to admit his mistake quickly in a straightforward manner.
Now, he had to change the topic quickly, “What is living in me? I am not feeling good now and I feel extremely weak overall. She is sucking my strength.”
“Hmph! Brat, you skinny little boy, I can devour you in a blink of an eye and turn you into a mummy.”
White Feifei appeared in front of them. She was still sealed but her body was very bright; it was blinding to the eye.
Rourou frowned.
White Feifei lifted her hand and pulled. A pure white dress appeared over her, covering her fair skin.
With an apologetic look on her face, she said, “Sister, I am afraid of the heat, don’t blame me!”
There was a little angst in her cute voice.
Rourou maintained a straight face, “If you are dressed similarly in the future and are still afraid of the heat, I can help you.”
White Feifei’s face immediately changed and she waved her hand, “I wouldn’t dare to trouble you, Sister.” She looked at Qin Yu and blinked her eyes, “Little boy, my hand will temporarily merge with your hand. This process will require me to absorb your energy, and that’s why you feel weak and uncomfortable.
“Don’t worry, it will be complete soon, and then you will know how awesome my hand is…hehe, but I swear, don’t try to use my hand repeatedly or I will make you explode!”
Qin Yu’s lips twitched and he looked over.
Rourou nodded and he felt much more at ease.
White Feifei, this lady, he could not trust a word that she said. If Rourou was not around, he would be dead already.
“You can return.” Rourou spoke lightly.
White Feifei pouted, “No, if I return this time, I will have to enter a deep sleep and I am not sure when I will wake up again.”
Rourou looked at her silently.
White Feifei took a step back and she disappeared instantly. This woman was on par with Qin Yu for knowing when to take a step back.
Pft pft, looking at this, she was not shortchanged in the past.
Qin Yu said, “Rourou, White Feifei’s severed hand…mm, what use is there for me?”
He had gone through so much trouble. Although he did end up becoming the savior of Swallow Mountain like Rourou said, the gentle progression of things afterwards allowed him to confirm that Rourou’s real objective was the severed hand.
Rourou waved her sleeves and pulled Qin Yu into a lake, “White Feifei’s hand can allow you to bring out the full potential of the Mountains and Rivers Sword.”
She paused a while before continuing, “I will help you to prepare another skill soon that will allow you to unleash power on par with a King realm cultivator.”
In the lake, Qin Yu’s expression changed and he stared directly at her.
“Don’t look, I am temporarily alright but I will not be able to stay for long with my current state. Eventually, I will have to leave.” Rourou spoke in a calm manner.
Qin Yu asked, “Would it be dangerous?”
Rourou shook her head, “This is something for the future. It is too early to say now; you should cultivate.”
With that, she turned and left the Secret Sword Peak Realm.
Under the moonlight, Qin Yu was alone in the lake. His brows knitted together slightly and his expression grew serious.
Rourou was leaving!
Although she said that this was something that would happen eventually.
Qin Yu could not help a complicated feeling rus.h.i.+ng up his chest. He was used to having Rourou by his side; he did not need to worry about anything.
His road ahead had been arranged for him and he only needed to execute as planned and he would reach his goal easily. What should he do after Rourou left?
His face was dark and he sighed out loud a long while later. Actually, he had antic.i.p.ated this day a long time ago right?
Rourou descended to this world with an illegal technique. It was already a miracle that she had accompanied him till this day.
As a cultivator of this world, one had to rely on himself.
When he thought of this, the complicated feeling in Qin Yu’s chest slowly dispersed.
Back then, he was alone too and he survived till this day. When he was weak, he was not afraid of being alone, so why would he be afraid now?
Closing his eyes, Qin Yu began his cultivation. He had to become strong quickly!
