Chapter 1133A. Help and Thanks
Adversity Peak City, Bluetile Courtyard.
Qin Yu smiled. “Congratulations. From now on, you can live in this world using your true identity.”
The woman in front of him had delicate eyebrows and exquisite facial features. She was tall and proud. As she heard this, her eyes rippled and she bowed, “I have you to thank for all of this…Qin Yu, I never imagined that there would come a day when I would be able to recover my true identity.”
She looked at Qin Yu and felt her heart wrench. This was the man she had settled on, but she was actually doomed to be unable to be together with him.
But in the end, she was a successor that the Old King’s Lineage had carefully trained for many years. She took a deep breath and suppressed the emotions in her heart, earnestly saying, “Qin Yu, I have freed myself, but what will you do? The Ancient King’s Lineage will not give up on this. Qi Zhen has died…they will surely go crazy.”
Qin Yu’s eyes flashed with guilt. Even Cloud Boundless hadn’t been informed about this plan. It was all to make it seem as real as possible so that no one discovered it.
So Cloud Mist remained unaware.
He lightly coughed. “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. Just go into hiding for a time and don’t reveal any flaws.”
As he spoke, he laughed, “After all, it was Qi Zhen who killed you first. I only killed him in revenge…if others were to find out you are still alive, then I will be truly pitiful.”
Cloud Mist nodded, not saying much. She could feel that Qin Yu was hiding something. But for some unknown reason, she didn’t feel any restlessness.
What she felt was still worry.
After all, with his status, it was impossible for him to do anything that endangered the Old King’s Lineage.
If Qin Yu were to hear her thoughts, he would have bitterly smiled. What status did he have?
If he hadn’t entered the abyss, eventually causing his impression of the abyssal demon race to change, then he really wouldn’t have minded inciting a war between the Ancient King’s Lineage and the Old King’s Lineage, drawing the entire Nightmare Clan into an era of internal strife, and thus weakening the overall strength of the abyss.
“That’s enough. Stop wasting time with this little girl. Since we came out first, we have other arrangements to deal with.” The already dead Qi Zhen’s voice resounded in Qin Yu’s mind.
This caused Qin Yu’s eyes to cloud over a little. He immediately covered it up and said, “Cloud Mist, I have some matters that I have to deal with alone for the time being.”
“Okay…if you need anything, just ask.” Cloud Mist nodded before turning and walking away.
When the doors shut tight, Qin Yu coldly snorted, “Senior, isn’t this different from what we discussed before?”
After Qi Zhen was killed, Qin Yu discovered that his soul had leapt into his body.
Or to be more accurate, it was the shadow beneath him!
The shadow wriggled up, turning into a phantom that comfortably leaned back against a sofa. “Stop pretending. You kid, you are acting as if you’re angry, but I bet you’re overjoyed inside. After all, since I’m with you, I must enter the Nightmare Ancestral Land too, so how can I stay out and let you deal with everything yourself?”
As he spoke, he lifted a teacup and took a drink. Qi Zhen was now a shadow, so it was unknown where the tea he drank went.
Qin Yu’s eyes sparkled. Qi Zhen wasn’t mistaken. In truth, his happiness over this was greater than his anger. But facts were facts and he had to display the correct attitude.
He wanted to give Qi Zhen a reminder that for anything that happened in the future, he had to give him as clear an explanation as possible so that he wouldn’t be caught off guard again.
In truth, when ‘Qi Zhen’ was killed and his soul suddenly flew into his shadow, Qin Yu was given a scare.
He even thought about the worst case situation…that everything Qi Zhen and Thousandhonor Marquis said before was just to lull him into a state of false confidence. What the two truly wanted was to seize his body and enter the Nightmare Ancestral Land themselves to complete the plan to destroy it.
Or perhaps, there was no so-called destruction plan, and everything was to have him quietly disappear…after all, according to what they said, Qin Yu’s existence broke all rules. If the two didn’t have any intention of betrayal, then it was natural for them to kill him.
Luckily, these dark and sinister thoughts didn’t develop into facts.
When Qi Zhen drilled into his shadow, Qin Yu couldn’t feel any aura at all. It was like Qi Zhen had truly fused inside and had become a part of his shadow.
Qin Yu wasn’t overthinking this. With the methods that Qi Zhen had revealed so far, accomplishing this wasn’t difficult.
But that was another topic.
In short, after expressing his attitude, Qin Yu didn’t care whether he was seen through by Qi Zhen. He directly said, “What do we do now?”
Qi Zhen said, “That Thousandhonor Marquis fellow might be cooperating with us, but he cannot be fully trusted. So for safety reasons, we must create something that will thoroughly suck him into this matter so he can forget about withdrawing.”
He coldly sneered, “At that time, even if Thousandhonor Marquis has some other thought, he will only be able to keep it in his belly…this is a rare opportunity to do anything to that Old Turtle in the ancestral land. It cannot be missed out!”
Qin Yu rubbed his forehead. Qi Zhen had babbled on and on, but after thinking about it carefully he still didn’t know anything.
These people, why did they like to speak so vaguely as if they wanted to be some kind of fog-covered mountain? Couldn’t they be more direct!?
Qi Zhen seemed to sense Qin Yu’s thoughts. He looked up and strangely smiled. “Do you think that I’m being too long-winded and not straightforward? But in fact, if I spoke clearly, maybe I would be fine, but you would definitely be in trouble…if you don’t believe me, maybe we can try…”
Before Qin Yu could say anything, Qi Zhen’s complexion darkened, turning serious. “Thousandhonor Marquis came into being and hid in the Nightmare Clan because he is shouldering a mission of destruction. And the target that he must destroy is…”
Qin Yu’s eyes widened. Fear surged within him without warning, as if death would arrive at any moment.
Bang –
Outside Adversity Peak City, winds and clouds began to surge as the skies turned pitch black and all light vanished. The entirety of Bluetile Courtyard fiercely shook as countless cracking sounds filled the air and the whole courtyard sank down three inches.
Countless demons from the Old King’s Lineage were pushed into the floor, their eyes wide with endless fear. At this moment, they could feel a boundless pressure suddenly arrive. Any movement could grind them to dust.
Qi Zhen’s eyes lit up. Without any hesitation, he lifted a hand and grasped forward.
His hands were clearly empty, but he seemed to have caught something…it was like a big fish in water, struggling to escape.
Qin Yu’s heart throbbed. Before he could think further, a fierce shock roared into his mind.
At this moment, even with his soul cultivation and powerful will, he still couldn’t resist this shaking strength. His consciousness immediately fell stagnant.
In a trance, Qin Yu felt someone slap his forehead. He shuddered as his consciousness returned.
It was only now that he felt the terrifying feeling that coursed all through his body, as if he was being squeezed into a meat patty.
Qin Yu’s chest ached and he spat out a mouthful of blood. His face paled and he stared at Qi Zhen.
Right now, Qi Zhen was coughing but laughing out happily. There was nothing between the five fingers of his shadow, but Qin Yu felt as if he held some kind of terrifying existence.
“Hehe, after so many years, you’ve finally been fooled by me once…it’s not that bad…” As Qi Zhen spoke, he coughed even fiercer. The shadows that formed his body violently shook, like he would break apart at any moment.
Then, in front of Qin Yu, he really did break apart and fade away.
Qin Yu was stunned. Then he heard Qi Zhen’s weak voice in his ears, “I played a bit too much, but it would be a pity not to do that when there was such a good opportunity…anyways, I have to recover. I can’t help you with what you must do next, so do it yourself.”
A thought spread into his mind.
Before Qin Yu could respond, Qi Zhen’s aura thoroughly faded away. If it wasn’t for the ripples that appeared in his shadow, Qin Yu would really be worried that this fellow had died!
