Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Qin Yu understood the deeper meaning in his words and he directly said, “My goal is the Demon Clan Ancestral Land.”

That clan’s leader frowned, “Demon Clan Ancestral Land?” There was a cold glare in his eyes, “Let’s go in and speak.”

Qin Yu nodded, “I have to trouble you, Clan Leader.”

That clan’s leader waved his sleeve and an invisible force wrapped around the three of them. He took a step forward and disappeared into the clouds.

However, this time, in order to avoid detection by the Demon Clan, the three stepped out of the clouds when they were still a distance away.

There was a large depression in the earth’s surface that spread out far and wide. They were still above the skies of Swallow Mountain but a thick mist covered everything in the basin and it felt like the mist was hiding the true secrets beneath.

The clan leader turned to look at Qin Yu.

Taking a step forward, Qin Yu closed his eyes and pointed, “It is in the mist.”

He let out a long sigh, “I see, this is going to be troublesome.”

He frowned and fell into deep thought.

Qin Yu said, “The Demon Clan Ancestral Land cannot be infiltrated easily and we should proceed forward stealthily.”

Just think about the Sword Prison.

How could a seal that suppressed a Longevity Species be ordinary? To infiltrate and get the body part sealed within would create a huge disturbance.

The clan leader said, “Let me call for help.” He looked at Qin Yu, “However, I have to let him know about the situation.”

There was some hesitation on Qin Yu’s face and he asked in a deep voice, “Clan Leader, can you be sure that this man is trustworthy?”

The clan leader replied, “It should not be a problem. Furthermore, and more importantly, we don’t have any other choice and we can only try.”

“Alright.”

With Qin Yu’s agreement, the clan leader flipped his hand over and took out an ordinarily-looking blue-colored stone. He tapped his finger on it.

Slap –

The blue stone instantly shattered into dust.

“Alright, let’s wait here.”

A few moments later, space nearby to the three of them started to shift silently and a person walked out. He wore a black robe and there was the sound of flowing water as he moved.

There were black ripples circling his body and the water sound rhythmically rose and fell with the ripples.

“Clan Leader, you called me for something?”

An ancient person!

With one look, Qin Yu figured out the person’s identity.

The clan leader cupped his hands together, “Cave Master, this is the new Exalted One of my clan. Sect Master Qin Yu of the Opening Heavens Sword Sect sought you out because there is something big to discuss.”

“Qin Yu?” Cave Master’s eyes fell on Qin Yu, “The first King realm swordsman of the world is famous.”

His tone was mocking.

Qin Yu frowned and stepped forward, “This is the first time that I have heard of you, Cave Master.”

“Hmph! Young man, when I was raging against the world, where were you?” Under his black robe, Cave Master’s eyes were cold.

Qin Yu lifted his hand and the Mountains and Rivers Sword appeared, “If you feel that I am not qualified to stand here, we can fight!”

That clan’s leader’s voice deepened, “Alright, this is the first meeting. Why do you have to draw your swords?” He stared at Cave Master, “If you knew why I called for you, you would not do this.”

Cave Master scoffed, “Clan Leader, please speak.”

The clan leader replied, “The Demon Clan Ancestral Land seals a body part of a Longevity Species.”

Shoosh –

There was silence.

Cave Master’s breathing instantly became heavier, “Clan Leader, some things can’t be spoken of carelessly. In this world, no one has a better understanding of the Demon Clan than the Holy Clan.”

The clan leader said, “If I was not confident, do you think I would have called you? Sect Master Qin was the first to discover this, and he told me.”

Cave Master looked at Qin Yu and then he turned to the clan leader, “I have to admit that I started to believe in the existence of the sealed body part…hehe, you two must be wanting me to lead the way.”

“That’s right.” That clan leader said, “If things go smoothly, Sect Master Qin will get what he wants and I am willing to share the keepsake of the sealed Longevity Species with you.”

Cave Master was silent.

Qin Yu said, “The Demon Clan Ancestral Land is very big but I am the only one who knows where the sealed item is.”

Cave Master’s eyes flashed. He stared at Qin Yu and licked his lips.

“Sect Master Qin, don’t you think that your words will easily bring you trouble?”

Qin Yu calmly answered, “With my sword in hand, I am fearless. Cave Master, if you want to try, you can attack me at any moment.”

When Opening Heavens Sword Sect Master Qin Yu fought against Bull Dingtian, he had been at the losing end, but that sky-splitting sword aura that he unleashed had sufficiently demonstrated how strong he was.

He was as strong as a True King!

Number 327 clenched her fists and there was a worried look on her face.

All of a sudden, Cave Master looked at her, “Young lady, you are from that clan right? Why are you so nervous? I am gentle towards women and I will not hurt you even if I attack him.”

Meeting his gaze felt like a sharp tongue had poked her.

Number 327 unconsciously leaned in closer to Qin Yu.

“Hahahaha! Interesting. Young lady, you don’t find safety in your own clan leader but this swordsman.” Cave Master burst out into laughter. He looked at the clan leader and said, “Clan Leader, when a girl is of age, she must be married off. She is starting to turn away already.”

The clan leader’s face was calm, “Sect Master Qin is my clan’s Exalted One and he is a part of us. There is nothing wrong with Number 327 seeking safety from him.”

His tone appeared cold and unfriendly, “So are you willing to cooperate or not? I don’t have time to waste on you here!”

Cave Master scoffed in annoyance, “Of course I am willing to cooperate. After all, how can I pass on a body part of a Longevity Species. However, how can I trust that you two will not betray me? Clan Leader, you even said that you are family.”

That clan leader said, “We can swear on our Great Dao and sign a contract.”

“Alright!”

Cave Master clapped his hands together.

The clan leader looked at Qin Yu.

Qin Yu wore a straight face and he calmly said, “I don’t have any opinions.”

Very soon, the three of them made their vows.

Hiding behind Qin Yu, Number 327 lowered her head. Her face was pale and she was biting her lip hard. She did not seem to be abnormal.

However, she did not notice that the clan leader had scanned her.

His eyes might appear calm, but they were ice cold!

“Cave Master, let’s go.” That clan’s leader said.

“Alright.”

Shoosh –

Cave Master was the first to move.

The clan leader followed along.

Meanwhile, Qin Yu turned and gazed at Number 327, “Little Seven, are you alright?”

She nodded.

“Alright, then let’s go.”

He reached out and grabbed Number 327. With a step forward, he turned into a sword shadow and chased after the other two.

At this moment, the mist in the sky was starting to move. The Demon Clan Ancestral Land had discovered the intruders.

Kaboom –

Massive explosions followed as numerous black-robed figures shot through the air.

“Stop, whoever you are!”

“This is the Demon Clan Ancestral Land and you are not allowed to barge in!”

“Retreat quickly or the consequences will be severe!”

Shouts and yells were directed at them.

The Demon Clan was in a weakened state now. If this was in the past, those who dared to infiltrate their ancestral land would be killed on the spot.

Cave Master was right at the front of the group and he scoffed coldly, “Are you all blind? It is me!”

Boom –

A powerful aura was instantly released from his body.

Opposite him, the Demon Clan members who were heading over grunted and their wings froze. They dropped to the ground without much resistance.

Cave Master reached his arm forward and grabbed. A terrifying hand appeared in the sky and it grabbed a Demon Clan member and shoved them down Cave Master’s throat.

“Holy Clan!”

The remaining Demon Clan members screamed, and without hesitation, they turned back and fled.

This was the natural suppression the ancient people had against the Demon Clan; it was in their blood! Long ago, when the ancient people ruled the land, the Demon Clan was enslaved by them.

“Pft! A bunch of trash that is tasting worse and worse.” Cave Master spat out and threw the corpse aside. He strode into the mist and said, “Green Goddess! I am here, aren’t you going to greet me?”

His voice boomed through the waves of mist.

Shoosh –

Very soon, the mist in front of them disappeared.

A lady appeared in front of everyone. Her green shirt gave off a saintly aura.

She looked at Cave Master with cold eyes, “Cave Master, according to the agreement between our two clans, the Demon Clan Ancestral Land is a place that you guys are not allowed to enter.”

There was a lustful look in Cave Master’s eyes as he checked her out. His voice rumbled, “An old pineapple ought to get rotten soon.

“Green Goddess, we have not met for so many years but you are still just as beautiful. Why don’t you consider my proposal from back then again and be my wife? With our cultivations, we will be the ideal immortal couple and it will benefit our cultivation. It is all benefits and no harm for the both of us.”

Green Goddess’ eyes turned colder, “Cave Master, if this is the only reason you are here today, please leave!”

Cave Master scoffed. “Green Goddess, although you are also a True King, it will not be difficult for me to suppress you!”

Green Goddess raised her hand and brilliant green light gushed out, flooding the skies.

“Cave Master, you can try!”

That clan’s leader frowned, “Cave Master, stop making things complicated.” He stepped forward, “Green Goddess, I am not here to trouble you today, but there is something that I will need the Demon Clan’s cooperation in.”

Green Goddess looked at him, “Clan Leader, please speak.”

These words meant that she had already taken a step back.

In all honesty, she had no choice but to do so!

Because of their bloodline, the Demon Clan was controlled by the ancient people. In strength alone she was not afraid of Cave Master, but if they really fought, she would be on the losing side.

Furthermore, Cave Master was not alone today.

That clan’s leader had shown that he was at the highest level of the King realm at Sky Falling Mountain.

Additionally, that silent swordsman behind him had a sharp and deadly aura.

Someone who had such an aura could only be that Sect Master from the Opening Heavens Sword Sect, the only King realm swordsman in the world whose splendid sword skills could match a True King!

In this situation, Green Goddess had no choice but to back down.

The Demon Clan would be weak for a long time and they could not sustain another calamity!

That clan’s leader said, “Very simple, we need you to open a particular area of the Demon Clan Ancestral Land for us. Green Goddess, don’t worry, I will not make any other demands aside from this.

“As long as you agree, I will return with a gift to you that you will definitely be satisfied with.”

Green Goddess frowned. She sighed deeply, “There is no need to bring a gift. I simply hope that you will keep to your words.”

She scanned Cave Master, whose aura was as dark as water now.

The clan leader smiled, “Of course!”
