Refining the Mountains and Rivers

If he had a choice, chicken overlord would rather close his eyes than be in this cold-hearted world.

It was a pity that he could not choose…this world operated with fists, and Qin Yu had a larger fist than him.

"Are you pretending to be dead? I will count to three. Open your eyes immediately or you will never open them again."

Chicken overlord remained still and Qin Yu coldly yelled, "Three!"

Chicken overlord's body was limp and his eyes had been closed. He suddenly jumped away as anger, shock and pain filled his eyes. He stared at Qin Yu in disbelief.

He did not say anything but the look in his eyes showed what he was thinking.

I am already so pitiful. You didn't even count, you are such a cold-hearted fellow!

If anyone was wondering whether chicken overlord hated Qin Yu…nonsense, if you were kidnapped by someone, do you think this question would be necessary?

Hate was only an emotion and the law of the fists still stood. As such, chicken overlord could only remain silent as he used the pain and anger in his eyes to express his feelings.

He had to admit that this measure of his, using his eyes to express his emotions, was really good. However, expressions were merely that and they were essentially useless.

Qin Yu was not affected by chicken overlord's expressions and he remained unchanged.

"You aren't going to continue pretending you are dead?"

Chicken overlord wanted to cry without tears but he did not dare to ignore the question, "Master, I was too excited knowing that I could stay by your side. Please don't blame me for losing my consciousness from overexcitement."

He could turn the story around and appear fully sincere.

Qin Yu smiled brightly, "I see. If you had told me that, perhaps I could have allowed you to be more excited."

You know why I am sad and you know that I dare not say the truth. But you are still so heartless, purposely taking my words as the truth…chicken overlord cried sadly.

His Divine Nation was one that he spent utmost effort to build! It was looking just about ready to take off but before chicken overlord could drink his soup and hold his chopsticks, Qin Yu took the entire table away from him.

The more he thought about it, the worse he felt. Chicken overlord's face was full of his tears and he cried out loud. Hope had been stolen away from his pitiful life.

Qin Yu stood with his hands behind his back and he stared at the sky. He was not looking at anything in particular but he wore a very satisfied expression.

Crying, and especially bawling, was an emotion that was sustained only with very strong feelings. With time, the bawling would turn to sobs and then chokes. Finally, there would be an awkward silence.

However, chicken overlord quickly regained his composure. Why should he feel awkward if he was the victim? Furthermore, Qin Yu did not show any remorse even though he cried so hard. Qin Yu was really bullying the chicken!

Anger came from the bottom of his heart and chicken overlord fumed. He raised his head sharply, his red eyes shone with a cold light and he glared at Qin Yu and cawed.

Qin Yu was calmly taking in the scenery. Right before chicken overlord could say anything, Qin Yu lowered his head towards him.

He looked like he was smiling but he wasn't. When their gazes met, chicken overlord felt like a pail of cold water was thrown on him, causing his entire body to shudder.

All his rage and evil intentions were wiped clean and only an icy cold feeling spread through his body from his heart.

"Are you done crying? Let's go!" Qin Yu turned and left. His calm voice continued, "Trust me, it is okay for me to delay a bit, but if you delay us, you might die."

Chicken overlord shivered. There was no concrete reason but he believed Qin Yu's words instantly.

He would die…he would really die…

"Master, wait for me!"

With a cry, he flew ahead quickly.

"Master, where are we going?"

"The World of Darkness."

"Why…are we going there?"

"Oh, it seems you know quite a bit."

"I don't dare to compare to you."

Qin Yu narrowed his eyes like he was searching for something, but he remained silent.

Chicken overlord hesitated. There was a persistent sense of uneasiness and he carefully asked, "Master, that question…"

Qin Yu answered, "If I told you that I don't even know why I am going there, would you believe me?"

Chicken overlord was stunned and he forced a laugh, "Don't joke around, Master."

Qin Yu shook his head, "I am not."

Chicken overlord was completely stunned. If you don't even know why you are going there, why take the risk to go into such a dangerous territory?

He wore a blank look on his face, "Master, although my light energy can control the darkness, there are limits to everything in this world. The Darkness Ruler is incredibly powerful and I am not his opponent. Even if I throw my life in, I will not be able to help you!"

He scanned Qin Yu's face, but Qin Yu did not react. Chicken overlord was about to cry, "Master, really Master, I am not afraid of death, I just don't want you to be placed in a dangerous situation because of how useless I am! Please think twice before you decide what to do."

I am going to kneel!

From chicken overlord's perspective, what else did Qin Yu want to do other than to contest with someone by entering the World of Darkness with him? But this contest would bring death…no, Qin Yu may not die but the chicken would lose his life!

Qin Yu smiled; the nervousness and gloominess he felt earlier was chased away like the wind. Unknowingly, he felt much more relieved.

He could pinpoint the reason upon second thought. If they were going to die, the chicken would die first. At least the chicken shared these dark thoughts with him.

Back to the issue, Qin Yu still did not know what he was going to do in the World of Darkness.

It was not going to be easy to enter the West Desolate. Otherwise, the Darkness Ruler would have found a way to escape after being trapped for so many years.

That woman must have done something in the dark to open a path for Qin Yu to sneak in with the right opportunity.

Hopefully whatever trick she used was useful. If anything went wrong and the West Desolate sensed something amiss, the plan would…hiss, it would be terrible!

Don't think about this. These things were out of his control now anyway; thinking about it will only scare himself. Qin Yu sighed to calm himself down. He found his target.

Grabbing onto chicken overlord with one hand, Qin Yu jumped forward and vanished. He teleported to an underground waterfall by a mountain.

Qin Yu looked down; the underground waterfall was very deep. He could vaguely hear the dripping sound of water from where he stood. Because of the terrain, the ground was fully covered from the sky. With the shade of the trees and plants, it made the area seem much darker. It was daytime now but he felt like he had entered eternal night by descending down the underground waterfall.

Qin Yu nodded as a look of satisfaction crossed his face.

Chicken overlord grew more uneasy. He shivered and asked, "Master, what are we doing here?"

Qin Yu looked at him, "Jump down."

With that, he pulled chicken overlord along and jumped down.

Whoosh -

Like a giant boulder that rolled off a cliff, they were englued by darkness immediately!

"Ah!"

Chicken overlord gave an ear-piercing scream that was extremely high pitched. Qin Yu frowned and muzzled him.

Compared to being grabbed by the neck, being muzzled was even harder to take. However, chicken overlord could not be bothered by that now because…he was afraid of heights!

He was a wild chicken who was even stronger than Half-Saints in the Sea of Bitterness. If it became known that he was afraid of heights, he would become a laughingstock.

However, these were the facts. After chicken overlord took over White Ape's position, this was a small problem that he struggled with.

Yet, his life was at risk now! With his beak still muzzled shut by Qin Yu, chicken overlord's eye grew wide. His eyes went red and his pupils quivered intensely with fear. However, he could not shut his eyes and he could only watch as waves of fear hit him. He could not even faint…this was a result of his phobia!

Qin Yu scanned chicken overlord's comical expression and he could not help frowning.

Afraid of heights? Are you sure you are not mocking me? This expression and eyes, even if chicken overlord was an award-winning actor, he would not be able to pull off such a brilliant performance.

A glimmer crossed his eyes but Qin Yu could not think about it anymore. He had to open the gates.

The World of Darkness was different from all small worlds in the Vast Brightness World. It was painstakingly constructed by the West Desolate using numerous hands and manpower.

Since its birth, it was a completely different world from the Vast Brightness World. Therefore, from another perspective, it could be considered sealed. No one could enter it using conventional methods and it was also hard to grasp its aura and descend into it.

Back at the Transcendent Sword Sect, Qin Yu could only enter it because Eye of Eternal Night had purposely left behind a trace of his aura on the gates.

Without this setup now, Qin Yu could only create an entrance by himself…after all, he was not the real Darkness Ruler.

Whoosh whoosh!

Sharp sounds split the air through as something emerged from the darkness. It was exceptionally fast and Qin Yu could sense a hint of greed and desire from it.
