Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Some people knew how to differentiate a friend from a foe instantly. Qin Yu was an example of this.

Zheng Chu laughed coldly, “Help him resolve his grudge? Why don’t you die instead of him?”

He leaned forward and thrusted his sword.

This sword’s aura was much stronger than when he fought against Wei Han.

He had used all his strength and he did not hold back.

He was originally going to use this attack when he dealt his final blow to Wei Han. Obviously, he was not going to be dragged to his death along with Wei Han.

If a strong swordsman had the will to fight till his death, he was quite scary.

Zheng Chu did not dare to hold back anymore. He did not know who Qin Yu was, but he could sense a threatening aura from him.

The most obvious evidence to support this was that the three men who had captured Sprout were missing.

And Sprout was with him.

With this, it was not hard to draw the logical conclusion. Zheng Chu did not dare to hold back!

His attack was vast and wide and it was also the River Sword Skill of the East Wang Family. However, compared to Wang Shangqi, its power was slightly better.

The sound of a river crashing could be heard and overflowing energy caused explosions in the air.

For many years, Zheng Chu had avoided doing foolish things to save his face. The reason…he was an outsider who was better than the heir of the Wang Family at their inherited sword skills. What would they do to him?

It was pity that this was worthless in front of Qin Yu.

Zheng Chu was not an ancient person and he did not have the chaotic curse to resolve the pressure from the Great Dao. For him, the only good news was that Qin Yu was not going to expose to everyone that he had controlled the Great Dao.

As such, his death would still have some dignity.

Mm, that’s right. Zheng Chu was still going to die. The good news did not change the outcome.

Qin Yu stamped and space shifted, dragging him and Zheng Chu into a vortex. In the next instant, a screeching sword sound came from the space. Zheng Chu’s desperate cries could be heard too, “You are also a swordsman…”

A few moments later, the sounds of the sword died down.

Space unfolded itself and Qin Yu appeared calm. There was a ‘bam’ before Zheng Chu dropped to the ground.

Fresh blood poured out from his wounds. From the contortions and wounds on his body, it was evident how many of his bones were broken by the sword strike.

“I believe that you would want to kill him so I saved him a breath.”

Wei Han struggled to stand up and he stumbled towards Zheng Chu. Zheng Chu’s eyes were filled with horror, “No, don’t…”

Pst –

He swung his sword down and beheaded the man. Red hot blood spurted out.

Wei Han looked down at the rolling head. His eyes were serious and resolute, as though he was admiring a world class piece of art.

Closing his eyes, he sighed deeply. Wei Han turned towards Qin Yu and bowed sincerely.

“Regardless of who you are, I, Wei Han, owe you a huge favor. If you have anything you need in the future, I will not turn you down as long as you ask me.”

Qin Yu thought to himself, this lad was pretty good with his words. Your life might not be yours now; do you really think that you can solve everything by yourself?

However, it was a good virtue that he was a grateful man. Qin Yu nodded and then looked at Bull Bean.

Bull Bean carried Sprout over and placed her in front of Wei Han, “Her injuries are quite severe but I have given her medicine and she should be fine.”

Wei Han nodded, “Thank you, lady.”

He stood up and carried Sprout with some difficulty.

He could not publicly show such affection too often or he would be scolded by others.

Qin Yu’s lips twitched and he turned to look at White Iris, “Do you need help?”

With a cold gaze, White Iris snapped, “No!”

Qin Yu simply responded with an, “Oh.”

When Miao Yijian attacked, his body suddenly stiffened and his vision went blank as a sharp sword pierced through his throat. Blood poured out instantly.

White Iris shouted in rage, “Zhou Huan!”

Qin Yu raised both his hands as though he was surrendering, “I did not do anything.”

I don’t have so much time to watch you being stubborn by yourself. After all, you have no evidence and you also can’t win against me.

Efficiency was crucial!

Wang Shangqi’s face was now pale and there was horror in his eyes. He did not run because he knew there was no way he could do so. “I am the direct heir of the East Wang Family, if you dare to kill me…”

Pst –

White Iris sliced his head off directly and glared at Qin Yu with an icy cold stare.

This lady was truly violent, unlike Bull Bean, who was warm, gentle and cute.

Qin Yu coughed lightly and scanned the crowd who had backed away in fear. He suddenly said, “Everyone, don’t worry. Although you guys did wrong in the past, I am not fond of killing people.”

The crowd was at a loss for words.

Zheng Chu was the fastest to die, then it was Miao Yijian and finally Wang Shangqi.

The East Wang Family was one of the few elite sword families in the world. Killing three of their men in one go was not easy.

Now you are saying this? Who will believe you!

The crowd did not stop retreating but instead, they backed off faster as their eyes filled with fear and horror.

They had no choice.

Qin Yu raised his hand and announced in a loud voice, “Do you want to steal the Great Dao?”

Instantly, there was silence in the air.

The crowd stopped moving.

This was the crime of greed. If everyone knew how to be satisfied and they all retreated, a lot of people would die.

Qin Yu continued, “I discovered the scheme from that clan…that’s right, it is them! Everyone, do you think that that clan would not do anything when the dao quintessence suddenly exploded, meaning that it recognized a master? No, definitely not!

“However, until now, I am sure that no one here has seen a single cultivator from that clan. What do you think the reason is?”

Expressions were starting to change.

Qin Yu did not give them time to think as he clapped his hands together strongly, “That’s right! It’s because, as we are all fighting against each other, the cultivators from that clan are gathered secretly at one place, stealing the Great Dao!”

“Are you speaking the truth?”

One of the cultivators frowned and questioned.

Qin Yu nodded, “Of course, I have already found out where they are at. Everyone please follow me to bring the truth to light!”

“Why should we trust you? Furthermore, if this is the truth, why are you telling this to us?”

Another person raised his voice. He wore a cautious look on his face.

Lad, you are truly cautious. But I don’t want to play with you.

Wearing a straight face, Qin Yu said, “It is up to you to trust me or not. But when the Great Dao falls into their hands, don’t regret it.

“As for why I am telling you all, we are not confident of taking that clan on by ourselves and we wanted to gather all of our collective strength.

“You can tell people you trust about this and invite them to come with us. The more people the merrier. I don’t think all of you guys are afraid of being killed by us.”

This was his logic.

No matter how strong Qin Yu and White Iris were, they were not able to take on a hundred foes by themselves. Right now, there were a few thousand people in Sky Falling Mountain who were fighting for the Great Dao.

Some people were hesitant but others were already moving. The news spread far and wide in all kinds of manners.

Qin Yu turned to leave, “Those who are willing to come, follow us from afar. I will personally expose the schemes of that clan!”

White Iris leaned over and asked in a cold voice, “What are you trying to do?”

Qin Yu smiled, “Something that will make me happy.” He looked at her eyes and raised his hands, “Don’t worry, I am not going against the lady’s arrangements.”

“Hmph!” White Iris whipped around.

As expected, using Rourou was the best method to control White Iris.

This woman was really fearless. She actually dared to harbor thoughts about Rourou…it must not have been simple for her to survive till now.

Wei Han thought for a while before he carried Sprout over. He did not know what Qin Yu was up to, but since Qin Yu saved him and resolved his grudge against him, he would not leave like that.

Bull Bean whispered, “Zhou Huan, Old Ancestor told me that that clan is a bunch of crazy dogs. If you provoke them, the consequences will be severe. So think carefully before you act.”

Qin Yu looked at her, “Thank you for the reminder, Lady Bull.” There was a deep-seated grudge between him and that clan. There was no need for him to reconsider.

Seeing how determined he was, Bull Bean did not say anything. After all, Qin Yu had the Great Dao and he would become a True King in the future.

With Old Ancestor too, there would be two True Kings. If she worked hard by herself, it would not be too hard to become a True King too. With three True Kings working together, they would not need to fear that clan.

As she thought of this, Bull Bean relaxed slightly. However, her face was flushed red.

She peeked at Qin Yu. Thankfully, he did not seem to notice or it would have been so embarrassing!

Qin Yu was expressionless, but a bead of cold sweat rolled down his face.

No, he had to end this quickly. When the matter at Sky Falling Mountain was over, he would run as far as he could.

His best option was to make sure that the identity of Zhou Huan disappeared like the wind.

Bull Bean was too naive and she did not understand what it meant for Qin Yu to have a majority of the Sky Falling Mountain Great Dao.

He could sense what was happening around him without turning around, even the way that she peeked at him.

He knew what Bull Bean was thinking without asking, but it was too dangerous – the diamond of the Bull Family could not be provoked. One wrong step and he would lose his life!

With these thoughts, Qin Yu quickened his pace.

The team that followed behind him was also growing bigger as time passed.

While not all the cultivators in Sky Falling Mountain had gathered, at least twenty percent or more were here.

This was enough.

After all, Sky Falling Mountain was a world in itself and its interior was very large. The cultivators that were here were dispersed in all four corners.

For so many people to have gathered here, this had already exceeded Qin Yu’s expectations.

Of course, this was ultimately the result of greed and selfishness from people. How could anyone let Qin Yu take the Great Dao for himself?

Shoosh –

Qin Yu stopped and looked at the crowd. He raised his hand forward, “Everyone, we are here!”

In front of them was a barren-looking canyon. The ground was slightly red and there weren’t any plants growing here. The wind would churn up dirt and dust as it swept across the land.

The people in the group stared ahead and their expressions darkened.

There was nothing!

“Zhou Huan, where did you say the cultivators from that clan are?”

“If we can’t find them, you are dead!”

“Wasting my precious time, you should be killed!”

People were agitated as they shouted at him, gritting their teeth in anger.

Meanwhile, Qin Yu wore a composed look and calmly said, “Everyone, please calm down and have a look again.” With a thought, Great Dao energy descended.

Crack –

After the cracking sound, the space shifted and the canyon transformed.

A massive red stone had been carved into a shrine. Dao quintessence was madly rushing towards it from all directions.

Twenty-four cultivators from that clan were sat down cross-legged. Each of them had a blood red stone projection above their head that was bellowing towards the sky and devouring the dao quintessence.
