Chapter 1365: Group of Actors
Chapter 1365: Group of Actors
The four young people had appeared confident but they were actually in a state of panic. At that moment, they were frozen to their spots.
What in the world? Why did he eliminate his companions before the battle even began? Was this World of Darkness True Saint mad?
Looking at their expressions, Qin Yu could guess what they were thinking. He was too lazy to greet them properly and he said, “Don’t resist and come with me first.”
With that, he waved his sleeve and a powerful force swept forward.
This voice…
Soaring Sky’s eyes bulged wide open. When he finally regained his senses, he quickly said, “Listen…to him. Don’t resist!”
Rice Paper, Zhou Lei and Ruan Jing withheld their attacks and they allowed themselves to be taken away. Then, they stared at Soaring Sky, waiting for his explanation.
“Don’t look at me. You will understand soon.” He stared at Qin Yu’s back with an emotional look.
His guess was confirmed now.
Very soon, the four people’s auras dispersed. Qin Yu turned around and he altered his appearance back to normal.
“Qin Yu!” Rice Paper exclaimed as her eyes widened and her face filled with disbelief. Her hand flew to her mouth and she quickly greeted him, “Rice Paper, disciple of Folded Kite, greets Mister Ninth. Please forgive me for offending you previously!”
Ruan Jing and Zhou Lei quickly bowed and only Soaring Sky was calm. He had met Qin Yu before and he guessed as much from the voice. Otherwise, he would not have instructed the rest to not resist.
Qin Yu waved his hand dismissively, “Rise!” His eyes swept across the four people and he said, “You guys are bold to have rushed in here.”
Rice Paper, Ruan Jing and Zhou Lei did not understand him and they remained silent.
Soaring Sky bowed, “Was it you who caused the Space Target and the previous incident between the Mysterious Clan and the World of Darkness?”
Qin Yu nodded in confirmation and did not hide anything. Looking at the four in front of him, a plan formed in his head. He needed their cooperation and they needed to know what to do too.
At that point, Rice Paper, Ruan Jing, and Zhou Lei were all stunned. Bounded Zero Place had always been weird and dangerous but peaceful. There was so much of a stir suddenly and it was all because of Qin Yu.
As expected of Mister Ninth of the Peach Garden; everywhere he went, chaos would ensue. The Endless Sea was like that, and the Lost Garden was like that too. Now, even Bounded Zero Place was chaotic.
What happened in the East Sea was kept secret and the news of the incidents there was not circulated widely. If they found out, they would realize how mighty Qin Yu was.
Knowing that they would be shocked, Qin Yu waited for them to calm down. Then, he said, “It seems like you guys have been working very hard. Your improvements are massive and you guys are not far away from becoming Saints.”
A complicated look crossed the four people’s faces. Although Qin Yu was right, listening to these words from Qin Yu felt very insignificant.
Qin Yu may have also felt the inappropriateness of these words. He rubbed his chin awkwardly, “Don’t compare to me or you will lose interest in cultivation. Anyway, there is something I will need your help with.” He smiled, “The Nether Saint was killed by me and the Spring Master. You guys know this right?”
Mister Ninth of the Peach Garden had grown famous and his battle against the Nether Saint had already spread through the Saint circle. Many people respected him and it was impossible to not have heard of it.
“Good. Let me add on. After the Nether Saint was killed, I obtained a very large Great Dao fragment. Back when White Phoenix of the Peach Garden became a Saint, I gave him a third of it as a gift.”
Rumble –
Zhou Lei licked his lips and his face immediately turned red. He wore an awkward expression, but no one mocked him. Although they did not show it, they were very jealous.
Nonsense. He just became a Half-Saint but he obtained a big piece of a Great Dao fragment soon after. He was so lucky; the Great Dao fragment would be a great help to his cultivation. This thought would make anyone thirsty.
Qin Yu snapped his fingers, “Help me finish this. If it is a success, I will give each of you a Great Dao fragment.”
Ruan Jing asked in surprise, “Are you serious?” He waved his hands frantically, “It is not that I don’t believe what you said, it is just…”
It was too good to be true, no one would believe it!
Qin Yu cut him off, “Don’t worry. I have always been true to my words. But if anyone dares to reveal this, I will make him regret it!”
His eyes flashed coldly and a dark aura exploded near the four people, stunning them.
Soaring Sky said in a low voice, “I swear that I will never tell anyone anything that happens today. If I do, my Great Dao will be destroyed and I will never be a cultivator again!”
Ruan Jing, Rice Paper, and Zhou Lei nodded.
Qin Yu withdrew his aura and smiled, “Very good, I trust you guys are smart. Then let me brief you on what to do. Don’t worry, it isn’t too hard. I just hope you are all good actors.”
He beckoned them over and the four people gathered around him. Qin Yu briefed them and the four of them listened attentively.
Rice Paper raised her hand, “Mister Ninth, I understand what you mean but I think there is one thing lacking in the plan. How about…”
Qin Yu encouraged her to speak and Rice Paper explained her thoughts. Qin Yu nodded and gave an approving look. With that, Ruan Jing and Zhou Lei chimed in. Soaring Sky was a man of few words but he ended up giving his opinions too.
There was strength in numbers and things were always better when done as a team. There wasn’t a single leader but as the group discussed, the plan grew more and more refined.
They were all clever people!
Qin Yu grinned happily, “If there isn’t anything else, let’s make the preparations. We need to start immediately.”
A few moments later, his body vibrated and he turned into a cultivator from the Mysterious Clan.
His interactions with the Mysterious Clan were far fewer than with the World of Darkness Faction. He chose to mimic an individual he met in the inn before arriving at Bounded Zero Place. He met the man two more times later and this man seemed to have some status in the Mysterious Clan, but he was not a very prominent figure. This was a good choice.
They had personally witnessed Qin Yu change his appearance and the four young cultivators could not sense anything wrong. Instantly, they were all in admiration and respect.
Just this transformation technique showed how scary Qin Yu was. It made their hair stand.
Nonsense, how could anyone not be fearful? If they offended him, they would not be able to trust anyone around them. Who would expect that when one was the least guarded, the person beside you would stretch a hand out and strangle you.
Crack –
Your life would end.
This sweet thought could make anyone feel hopeless!
He sensed the admiration in the eyes of everyone else but he ignored it. After all, it was a good thing to gain their respect at this moment.
“Let’s go.”
With a final order, Qin Yu led the group and they shot to the sky.
…….
My name is Li Soar and it means to fly. Since I was young, I have always been a carefree person who loves my freedom. I dreamed of having a carefree life.
After I grew up, I realized my dreams were very big, and it was so hard to fulfill them.
In the adult world, there were only dangers and compromises. There was no such thing as freedom. For instance, I did not want to descend to the fragmented area to participate in the West Desolate situation. However, this was my destiny and I could not choose otherwise.
As such, I am here, chasing after four escaping rogue cultivators in the fragmented area. These people are actually pitiful. Even now, they do not know where they are and they are unaware of how vast this world is.
However, pity is just that. I will not hesitate when I have to kill. This was the order given to me when I descended into the fragmented area. These rogue cultivators are almost at their limit. Soon, I will drain them and send them on their way.
Hm?
There is movement in front. From the energy, it seems like that other clan.
Honestly, this was a common occurrence. After all, everyone was chasing after rogue cultivators now.
Furthermore, the two camps were in an alliance now, and before they had a conflict again, he decided not to bother them.
Just as he had this thought, five men flew over. The leader felt familiar and he was sure he had seen the person before.
The four people behind…mm, they were familiar too!
Goodness, aren’t they the men the sixth prince wanted to capture? He was stopped by Border Cliff Saint and Border Cliff Saint went after them.
Why were they here? It was very obvious that they were entangled with that clan. What about Border Cliff Saint? Why wasn’t he here? Did he fall into a trick?
The more he thought about it, the worse it got.
There was a familiar cultivator in front of him and Tobio’s expression instantly fell. He pointed a finger, “Come on, kill them!”
My name is Tobio and I am a little scared now. The men from that clan are heading for me. I have no other choice but to take them head on.
……
My name is Number 637.
Don’t ask me why this is my name. Everyone in my clan is named like this and after the incident back then, my clan was trapped in an awkward position. Only when everything is resolved can we regain our honor. As such, names do not have meaning and they are only a label.
Not long ago, I led a few men to kill some rogue cultivators. But Number 418 was suddenly leading four rogue cultivators. He told us that they were top secret and we cannot tell anyone about it.
The first thought everyone had was that the clan had actually allied with fragmented area rogue cultivators. Were they sure about this? However, Number 418 was a close confidant of Number 327, and Number 327 had a high status in the clan. He might even become our next leader.
As such…this must be a secret operation by the clan. We did not know about this previously.
Number 418 is going to lead these men away. But damn it, how unlucky. They met a group of cultivators from the West Desolate.
Perhaps to keep this a secret, Number 418 ordered us to attack these men, but I think he is a little flustered. It would’ve been possible to say that the four men were captured as prisoners.
Hehe, there were rumors in the clan that Number 418 was actually a smart and cautious individual underneath his arrogance. Those are lies. This person is obviously dumber than me!
Never mind, since we have to keep this a secret for the clan, we can only attack the West Desolate cultivators.
The battle began; the rogue cultivators appeared confused. However, they quickly regained their senses and they tried to flee.
How dare they?
They were trying to run when their hunter was engaged. It was all because of the West Desolate. “Brothers, come on, we can not let everyone off!”
However, these men could not really die. Even if they killed these men, how could the secret be kept?
Perhaps the clan was just worried about the timing. They were fine with letting the West Desolate know about this?
Forget it, let’s think about this after killing off these bastards!
……
After leaving the site of battle, Qin Yu dropped off Soaring Sky, Ruan Jing, Rice Paper and Zhou Lei. They needed to hide and they could not be discovered. When Qin Yu gave them a sign again, they would make their next move.
Not delaying any longer, he turned and shot into the sky. He changed into the appearance of Border Cliff Saint. However, this time, he wore a pale expression and he appeared very weak.
Shoosh!
In the blink of an eye, Qin Yu left.
Zhou Lei was the first to say, “Even if Mister Ninth isn’t that strong now, I would not want to have him as my opponent.”
This was a very vague sentence but everyone understood him. Although the plan was crafted by the group together, after seeing Qin Yu’s acting skills, they finally understood what a shadow king meant.
There was nothing they could nitpick. His tone, actions, small mannerisms, and attitude were perfect for the scene and the group was even fooled by him.
Soaring Sky said, “Alright. Since we promised Mister Ninth, we must do this properly. Let’s find a place to hide and wait for his signal.”
“That’s right, we better not mess this up. Otherwise, we will end up miserable…” Rice Paper wrinkled her nose and her face was filled with fear. She had been scared by Qin Yu.
Shoosh, shoosh!
The four people turned and left quickly.
……
Border Cliff Saint was back. His expression was as pale as a sheet and the people who left with him were nowhere to be seen.
Li Zhouyi frowned, “Saint, what happened?”
Border Cliff Saint’s eyes darkened and he looked around. In a low voice, he said, “Your Highness, this isn’t something I should say here. Please move aside.”
The other two True Saints’ expressions turned dark. Something major must have happened.
Li Zhouyi sighed, “True Saints, please come with me.”
They turned around and entered a small world fragment. Li Zhouyi led them into his living quarters and with a wave of his sleeve, he created an array.
At the same time, two other West Desolate cultivators left just as the group of four disappeared.
Dead. The people who left beforehand were dead!
Did something really happen or was the sixth prince using this opportunity to get rid of them? Although they could not be sure now, they could not let their guard down!
Li Zhouyi sat down and asked urgently, “Border Cliff Saint, what happened?”
