Chapter 481B – Your Heart Is Too Black
The Black Demon Sect cultivator clenched his jaws. He spun around, wanting to see which person dared to crack such a joke and spit on him until he died. But when he looked up and saw who it was, he froze in place.
Although the light was dim, cultivators had very good eyesight. He could clearly see the face of the young man standing behind him in the shadows. It was…
Wasn’t it said that Grandmaster Yao had already been sentenced to death and executed?
Holy hell, are you playing with me!?
He thought about how all of his complaints and grievances had been heard. Then, he also recalled the rumors about how this Grandmaster Yao was ruthless and cruel and took revenge for even the smallest of slights. Suddenly, his emotions violently tumbled. This Black Demon Sect cultivator couldn’t even say a word in response before his eyes rolled back into his head and he fainted.
“Ahh! He was overcome with sorrow!”
“I also want to faint. If I did, I could solve a thousand worries!”
“All of my savings are gone and it caused me to want to die. This surname Yao is a harm to society!”
Qin Yu had already turned around and walked towards the bright lights up ahead. Many Black Demon Sect cultivators in front of him felt themselves being brutally shoved to the side. They staggered backwards, enraged. Then spun around, wanting to see who it was, but when they did they froze like chickens that had their necks held, no longer able to utter a single sound.
A Black Demon Sect cultivator among them clearly didn’t understand the situation. He opened his mouth and wanted to shout out some curses, but before he could say anything he was kicked down by others.
Bastard, if you want to die, then go die alone and don’t drag us down with you!
The Punishment Division cultivators soon realized that something was happening. Two of them walked forwards with gloomy expressions. They wanted to see just who had the courage to cause trouble right now.
But before they could even approach, a great strength blasted forwards. With two loud thumping sounds, the two cultivators were sent flying backwards where they smashed craters open in the ground.
“How dare you…” Just as the leader of the Punishment Division cultivators spoke up, he suddenly choked on his words. His face paled and a cold sweat started to drip down his forehead.
Others might not know the truth, but those of the Punishment Division did. This surname Yao hadn’t been executed at all. Rather, he had died in the Sealed Pagoda during the master recognition trial…
Now, could someone tell me where this rumor came from?
“This…low…lowly one greets…Grandmaster Yao…”
In the dark of night, beneath the lights, Qin Yu’s face had no expression. It was so cold that it frightened anyone who saw him.
Of course, a great portion of this was because he was putting on an act. However, in order to open his mouth even wider later to obtain more treasures, this performance was naturally necessary to set the mood.
Spirit stones, right? There was no one that disliked having too many. In particular, after experiencing the events of Four Seasons City’s auction hall, his interest in spirit stones was even greater than before.
“Grandmaster!”
Tuba and Tutou were moved to excitement. Their eyes coldly swept around, glaring at everyone with arrogant expressions as if saying: You bunch of idiots, I already knew this would happen, now it’s time for you all to suffer some bad luck!
How could any of you possibly imagine His Highness’ methods? If he didn’t scr.a.p.e up at least three layers of the Black Demon Sect’s wealth this time, they would change their name!
These two simple and honest-looking titans just happened to share the same idea as Qin Yu. It could be said that the servants matched the master.
Qin Yu nodded, “Were you wronged?”
Tuba’s eyes turned and he quickly fell to his knees. He reared his head back and shouted in sorrow and despair, “Grandmaster, this subordinate was incompetent and useless. The billion spirit stones you gave me to hold, the million spirit plants, and even the tribe’s supreme treasure, all of it was taken away by others!”
Tutou’s reaction was a tad slower but he soon understood what he needed to do. “All of the spirit stones for grandmaster’s daily expenses that were left with me, as well as all of the precious monster beast blood, was stolen away!”
The entire field fell deathly silent. Their eyes widened with shock and disbelief.
Could someone do this and still be considered human?
What a nonsense billion spirit stones, million spirit plants, and supreme tribal treasure…the last time they had divided things there had been nothing left behind, so where would that even come from?
This was obviously blackmail!
But even though everyone understood this, no one dared to say anything. When they looked at the palace, sorrow and grief colored their eyes. They thought, what person was blind enough to take advantage at this moment? This time they really would all be left starving!
A bit of surprise appeared in the depths of Qin Yu’s eyes. When Tuba and Tutou were in the Infinite Realm, they never had such crafty thoughts. It was clear that the outside world had changed them and trained them to understand how people interacted with each other.
Not bad, not bad!
He tossed the two a secret appreciative glance. Then, with a cold and iron-clad face, every word that came from his lips was filled with a chilling cold. “Speak. Just who said you could come here?”
The Punishment Division cultivator trembled. “This…this…”
Qin Yu’s eyes were cold. “I will only ask once. If you don’t want to speak, then there is no need to answer!”
“It was Elder Wei!”
The Punishment Division cultivator screamed out loud. As he said this, he suddenly stiffened. While he had only been following orders, now that he had leaked this information, it would be difficult not to suffer retaliation in the future.
His entire life was done for!
Qin Yu furrowed his eyebrows. Finally, from Yao Bin’s memories, he recalled who this Elder Wei was. He was a great figure who was the fourth-ranked Elder in the sect.
Good. Only someone of a sufficiently high status could cause a large enough splash.
“Wei Changfeng, come out!” Qin Yu faced the depths of the Black Demon Sect, took a deep breath, and roared out loud. His voice was like a billowing clap of thunder that rang throughout the heavens and earth, roaring forwards. In an instant, it resonated throughout the entire Black Demon Sect. Countless cultivators were left shocked. They thought, who was it that was so disrespectful that they dared shout out the Fourth Elder’s given name?
But at the same time, there were also many people who understood this was Qin Yu upon hearing his voice.
“This is impossible!” The Chief Elder violently stood up, disbelief etched across his face. “He…he should have died already!” The disappearance of the black spot on the Sealed Pagoda represented the death of the cultivator within. This was a conclusion drawn from the deaths of 137 Black Demon Sect cultivators.
But now, it was clear that this conclusion was utterly wrong.
If Yao Bin hadn’t died, did this mean he had completed the master recognition process for the Sealed Pagoda? The Chief Elder’s mind began to ring and buzz as if a pack of wild horses were running circles in his thoughts. However, though his thoughts were in chaos, people like him had grown wise with age and they were skilled in hiding their thoughts. He took a deep breath and quickly suppressed his shaking heart.
Shua –
He took a step out and vanished from sight.
But, there was someone who was even faster than him.
Tie Qianqiu looked at Qin Yu’s expressionless face and his own face was filled with wonder, excitement, joy, surprise, consternation…it was actually hard to believe that so many emotions could appear on a person’s face at once.
“Grandmaster Yao, it’s wonderful that you are okay! Today, I have been worrying over you for a long time!” As Tie Qianqiu spoke, he walked over, a concerned expression on his face.
Qin Yu cupped his hands together. “I thank Sect Master for worrying about me.”
Tie Qianqiu started to speak but hesitated. Qin Yu could only pretend that he didn’t see it. He looked over at the Chief Elder who couldn’t hide the look of shock on his face. “It seems that the Chief Elder is disappointed that I am still alive.”
The Chief Elder squeezed out a smile. “It wasn’t that, I was just too happy that you came back…”
This was clearly shock!
But now, before clarifying Qin Yu’s current situation, he really didn’t dare to make any cold and snide comments like he did before.
If there was even the smallest possibility of that happening…this boy, he could really soar into the heavens!
One after another, experts of the Black Demon Sect started to arrive. As they saw Qin Yu, all of them without exception had their eyes pop open as if they saw a ghost.
Tian Zhen was one of them. His heart trembled and he quickly pulled out his handphone, secretly sending a message.
The fourth monster hunting field? What’s that? I have absolutely no relation to that. As for why my men are over there today?
How ridiculous, I was obviously sending people over to help guard Grandmaster Yao’s monster hunting field, let some people try and take advantage of it while the grandmaster is gone!
Yes, that was it!
Some other old fellows, who had eaten so much today that their mouths were still dripping oil, suddenly blanched. As they felt deep regret, they also started to handle their own affairs in a similar manner.
They hurried to separate themselves. Even if they couldn’t pretend they had no involvement, they had to reduce it to the smallest amount possible. If things didn’t work out, they could toss out a scapegoat and allow them to deal with it themselves.
It was better to hide than to directly come into conflict with Yao Bin. In particular, they had no idea what the current situation was right now!
It was never wrong to be careful.
Seeing more and more people arrive, the original defendant Elder Wei still hid like a turtle and blatantly refused to make an appearance.
Qin Yu was expressionless. A dangerous glint flashed in his eyes. “Does Elder Wei wish for me to send a personal invitation?”
The Chief Elder coughed. He certainly knew what the situation was and why Wei Changfeng wasn’t making an appearance. “Grandmaster Yao, is there some misunderstanding today? Elder Wei is currently in seclusion. If there is any problem, you can discuss it with me.”
The meaning behind this was ‘tell me what you want and I will help you as much as I can.’
Qin Yu seemed to smile. “Is Chief Elder going to burden the responsibility for Elder Wei?”
The Chief Elder wanted to say yes. After all, Wei Changfeng was one of his people and he was normally hard-working and efficient. This was just a palace, so would Grandmaster Yao still dare to open his mouth wide like a lion? But looking at Qin Yu’s expression, he felt his heart begin to race. He glanced over at several nearby Black Demon Cultivators who were wildly trying to signal to him with their eyes. The Chief Elder secretly thought that he had avoided danger. This brat really liked to play tricks!
“Cough cough…perhaps Grandmaster Yao should state your requests first.”
Qin Yu lightly said. “Simple. Double the losses I experienced and I will consider this over.”
The Chief Elder tentatively said, “What did Grandmaster Yao lose?”
Qin Yu waved his hand. Tuba and Tutou walked over, their steps shaking the ground. They repeated exactly what they said moments ago.
Not only was the Chief Elder frozen, but Tie Qianqiu and the other high level figures of the Black Demon Sect were left bewildered. This boy’s heart was far too black!
