Chapter 1784 – Qin Empire’s Jinx is Also Surnamed Qin
The Central Desolate was thoroughly shaken!
After countless years, Emperor Qin was taking action once again.
All of the True Kings in this world could not help but show a heavy expression on their faces.
Whether they were willing to admit it or not, some memories of that year came flooding in their minds. Apart from feeling shocked, they also felt kind of fortunate at the fact that they were not Emperor Qin’s target of attack today.
Opening Heavens Sword Sect, Qin Yu!
On this day, he was undeniably the person that was most capable of gaining the world’s attention.
He had gone through many life-and-death situations.
This time, would he be able to continue living?
Since Emperor Qin had made a move, logically speaking, he would undoubtedly die. The True Kings were sure of this. However, Qin Yu was not a person who acted according to common logic. He could even escape unscathed from heavenly punishment and this only went to show how many secrets he concealed.
Now, the True Kings no longer doubted whether there was a Longevity Species hiding in his body.
The reasons were simple, and one of them was when he managed to block the heavenly punishment. Now, the fact that Emperor Qin was attacking him was the most concrete evidence that their guesses were right.
After all, if it was not for the Longevity Species, why would Emperor Qin make a move? It was very simple logic.
However, in actual fact, these True Kings had truly guessed wrongly.
The reason for Emperor Qin wanting to kill Qin Yu had nothing to do with Longevity Species. Because of the heavenly punishment, Emperor Qin did not want to get involved in that at all.
Otherwise he would not have waited until today to attack Qin Yu. He would have done it a long time ago.
He wanted to kill Qin Yu for the continuation of his empire!
Furthermore, Qin Yu’s surname was Qin.
Therefore, this person must die!
The national advisor knew everything, and he only watched from afar because killing Qin Yu was something that Emperor Qin had to do alone.
However, right at this time, the national advisor suddenly frowned. A hint of confusion and alarm appeared in the depths of his eyes.
Emperor Qin stopped attacking and looked up ahead. Without a sound, the s.p.a.ce in front of him was split and a figure walked out.
There were mild fluctuations all around him, causing the s.p.a.ce to distort and concealing his appearance.
“Floor Master, I need an explanation.”
The one who had just descended was precisely Thirteenth Floor’s Floor Master. In this world, this was probably the only person who dared to interfere in Emperor Qin’s matters.
Thirteenth Floor, Immortal Land!
All along, they were detached from the world and never partic.i.p.ated in the internal struggles in the Central Desolate.
If Emperor Qin’s sudden attack was described as an event that caused the Central Desolate to tremble, then the descent of Thirteenth Floor’s Floor Master could only be described as an earth-shaking event that never happened before!
Floor Master’s existence was like the moon and the stars in the sky; existing for eternity, out of reach from everyone else.
Yet today, he was right here.
“Emperor Qin, Qin Yu is not the person you are looking for. Let him live.”
“Does Floor Master insist on this?”
“Yes.”
Emperor Qin was silent.
The whole world fell into silence.
At this moment, when the True Kings noticed the silence, cold sweat formed on their foreheads subconsciously.
If this discussion went south, a battle would break out between Floor Master and Emperor Qin. This would mean that the relations.h.i.+p between the Great Qin Empire and Thirteenth Floor would officially be broken.
The impact of this would be extremely far-reaching. All of them that were affiliated with the Great Qin Empire would undoubtedly get involved in this.
The devastation of living things and the destruction of the world…it was just around the corner!
The national advisor took a deep breath, bowed and said, “Your Majesty…”
He broke the silence, but this also helped to slightly soothe the tension in the air.
Expressionless, Emperor Qin said, “I need an explanation for this.”
Floor Master replied, “I will give you one.”
Both parties were taking a step back.
Whoosh –
Emperor Qin turned and left.
The national advisor greeted respectfully and then left together with the emperor.
A huge battle that was about to erupt was extinguished just like that. All of the True Kings who were observing the developments in this place subconsciously let out a breath of relief.
In Sky Cow Area, Bull Dingtian wiped away some cold sweat that had formed on his forehead and he smiled bitterly.
He really felt that Qin Yu was truly ‘imperceptible’. Even Floor Master had appeared personally to stop Emperor Qin.
However, this was not necessarily a good thing.
Floor Master…
Bull Dingtian shook his head and suppressed his thoughts. He did not wish to get targeted by Thirteenth Floor in Sky Cow Area, otherwise people might die.
In fact, he would be the one to die!
Floor Master turned around and Qin Yu looked at him too, making eye contact.
“Sect Master Qin, I’ve just saved your life. Aren’t you going to even thank me?”
Qin Yu said, “If I thank you, will you be able to let me go?”
Floor Master shook his head and said, “No.”
Qin Yu replied, “That’s why I did not see the need to thank you.”
“Sect Master Qin, you are indeed one of a kind.” Floor Master stretched his arm out and said, “Please, come this way.”
Qin Yu said, “Floor Master, lead the way.”
Whoosh –
Whoosh –
Their figures disappeared one after another.
Rumble –
The whole Black Sea exploded, causing endless water vapor to rise. The sea floor was exposed and shattered by this explosion.
A moment later, everything was restored to calm and the darkness disappeared.
Now, there was a ground fissure so big that it was essentially a canyon. It spread over thousands of miles, and all life was extinct here.
This was the result of Emperor Qin and Floor Master’s confrontation.
They had not made their moves yet, but the confrontation of their auras alone had destroyed everything here.
Countless sea creatures died just like that!
This was the sad thing about being weak. There was no ill will against them, but they were just too weak, such that when they got close to a powerful being, they would only die. They died worthless deaths, ones that no one would remember or much less feel wronged about.
Above the skies, where the clouds served as steps.
Thirteenth Floor!
At the same time, the s.p.a.ce started to fluctuate slightly, and Floor Master and Qin Yu walked out of it.
The Thirteenth Floor cultivators around them quickly bowed.
Floor Master waved his sleeve and all of them retreated. Very quickly, there were only the two of them left on this cloud balcony.
Qin Yu’s eyes swept across his surroundings. After some consideration, he finally started to understand what kind of place this was.
This place was similar to that clan’s Starry Heavenly World. This was also a Heavenly Small World. It seemed to be floating in the skies, but it was actually isolated from the outside world. Without permission, it was hard for one to enter.
“That clan’s Starry Heavenly World can be said to be one of a kind in this world. Sect Master Qin, since it is in your hands now, if you make good use of it, it can be meshed with your own foundations,” Floor Master advised softly.
Qin Yu said, “If you wish, I am willing to hand the Starry Heavenly World over to you.”
Floor Master laughed, “Sect Master Qin, you don’t seem to trust me very much.”
Qin Yu replied, “I am just clear about the fact that everything in this world comes at a price.”
He lifted his head and pointed at himself, “For example, today, even though Floor Master came to my rescue, despite my grat.i.tude towards you, I can’t help but feel uneasy. I’m not sure what you are trying to get from me.”
Floor Master waved his sleeve and a tea set appeared in front of them. There was steam rising from it.
“Sect Master Qin, have some tea.”
Floor Master picked a tea cup up and took two sips. He did not directly answer Qin Yu’s question and decided to change the topic, “Thinking about it now, it seems that Sect Master Qin is still not sure why Emperor Qin tried to kill you without any warning.”
“That’s right. Floor Master, are you going to tell me why?”
“Naturally.” Floor Master continued, “Actually, the reason is simple. Many years ago, Emperor Qin received a prophecy.
“The Qin Empire’s jinx is also surnamed Qin.”
Qin Yu frowned. He did not think that this would be the truth behind why Emperor Qin attacked him today.
What and what?
Just because of that one sentence, he was being targeted by Emperor Qin? He almost died because of that!
What a joke!
Yet, Qin Yu was unable to laugh. Evidently, Emperor Qin truly viewed him as ‘the Qin Empire’s jinx’.
Taking a deep breath and then exhaling, he cupped his hands and said, “Thank you, Floor Master.”
Floor Master said, “This is a sign of my genuineness. I hope Sect Master Qin trusts that Thirteenth Floor harbors no malicious intent towards you.”
“Floor Master, you can just tell me what you want from me now.”
“I want the Longevity Species.”
He was direct, honest, and straight to the point.
On the cloud balcony, a short silence fell upon them.
Qin Yu asked slowly, “Floor Master, you’re not scared of heavenly punishment?”
“I am.” Floor Master lifted his head and then said, “That’s why I need you to show up.”
Qin Yu now understood the situation.
Simply put, Floor Master wanted Qin Yu to go through the heavenly punishment while he reaped the rewards for himself.
Thirteenth Floor’s Floor Master said it so casually and so indifferently.
He was truly extraordinary!
However, Qin Yu knew that he had no other choice.
Emperor Qin could kill him, and so could the Floor Master.
These two people were well-matched in terms of strength.
According to White Feifei, as long as one was in the King realm, they would possess a portion of the Eternal realm’s power.
They would be beings that could not be surpa.s.sed!
“Okay,” Qin Yu agreed. Judging this situation, he recognized the position he was in, so he did not bother negotiating any more.
It was meaningless, pointless, and a huge waste of time!
Floor Master laughed slightly, “Sect Master Qin, you are straightforward. To repay you, I will help you to buy some time. For the time being, Emperor Qin will not attack you.
“Of course, with regards to how the prophecy ‘the Qin Empire’s jinx is also surnamed Qin’ came about, Sect Master Qin, you have to investigate it yourself and get rid of this dangerous label.”
Qin Yu nodded, “Okay.”
Floor Master said, “Qiongji and Sect Master Qin are old acquaintances. I will let him a.s.sist you in the future.”
He got up, smiled slightly, and said, “Apart from this, there is someone in the Thirteenth Floor who is quite fated with you. Someone will come to bring you to her. I still have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave first.”
Then, he turned and disappeared.
Qin Yu’s heart sank a little bit.
Very quickly, someone flew up to the cloud balcony. He cupped his hands and said, “Sect Master Qin, I’m working under Floor Master’s orders to lead the way for you.”
“Let’s go.”
The two of them flew out of the cloud balcony and after they breezed through many pavilions and palaces, they finally stopped in mid-air above a courtyard.
The person leading the way pointed at it and said, “The person that Sect Master Qin needs to meet stays here.”
After he finished speaking, he cupped his hands and left.
Without meeting said person, the moment Qin Yu laid his gaze on the courtyard, he knew who it was.
Indeed, someone had found out about it.
Taking a deep breath, he descended to the ground, walked to the door, and pushed it.
The courtyard door opened and he stepped inside.
“Who is it?”
A vigilant cry came from the house.
Buzz –
The restrictive spell around the courtyard started to activate.
However, very quickly, it stopped when Li Ruhua looked at Qin Yu, who was standing in her courtyard. Her eyes were full of fear, anger and anxiety.
What is he doing here?!
Qin Yu greeted her, “Miss Li, long time no see.”
Li Ruhua replied coldly, “Sect Master Qin, you have some nerve. This is the Thirteenth Floor; how dare you trespa.s.s into my house? Please leave immediately!”
Qin Yu said, “Miss Li, without anyone to lead the way, how could I have known that you stayed here?” He walked over and continued, “So, please put your anger aside for a while. I have some answers that I’m looking for and I hope to get them from you.”
He waved his sleeve.
Buzz –
The Mountains and Rivers Sword appeared and suspended itself in midair above the courtyard.
Its sword aura erupted, instantly covering this place and isolating it from the outside world.
There was slight embarra.s.sment on Li Ruhua’s face as she said, “Get out. Get out!”
Qin Yu raised his hand and pointed.
Immediately, her body was frozen on the spot.
“Your cultivation belongs to you, but it also does not belong to you alone.” Because these words seemed slightly too awkward, complicated, and difficult to understand, Qin Yu rubbed his temples for a few moments before adding, “Whatever it is, something must have happened between us.”
He looked at Li Ruhua and said, “I came here to find out what exactly that is.”
Li Ruhua screamed, “Don’t even think about it, I don’t know anything!”

Uncooperative…
Qin Yu thought about it for a while and said, “White Feifei!”
Whoosh –
Her figure appeared and she looked at Li Ruhua before looking at Qin Yu again. She looked like she was put on the spot and she asked, “My Lord, this doesn’t seem right.”
Qin Yu was expressionless.
White Feifei instantly shut up and walked to Li Ruhua.
“What are you trying to do?”
White Feifei raised her hand and slapped Li Ruhua’s forehead gently. A soft ‘pa’ sound could be heard. “It is your lucky day and you don’t even know it. I wish I was this lucky. Be good, we don’t want any trouble.”
She walked forward and like a shadow, she integrated with Li Ruhua’s body.
Li Ruhua closed her eyes and fell into unconsciousness.
Qin Yu waited at the side quietly. He was not trying to be rude, but he had to investigate this matter clearly. He had no time to argue back and forth with Li Ruhua, so he decided to go with the most straightforward and effective method to go about this.
If she was being uncooperative, then he could only force her to cooperate!
After a few moments, White Feifei’s figure walked out of Li Ruhua’s body and the illusory state of her figure condensed and solidified. When Qin Yu looked at her, she had a strange expression on her face as she said, “My Lord, I’ve got the answers.”
Qin Yu said, “Tell me.”
White Feifei raised her hand, pointed at Li Ruhua, and said, “Your bodies and auras are connected because…erm…she is your wife.”
Qin Yu frowned immediately, “Nonsense!”
