Chapter 613A – Buried With Her
Chapter 613A – Buried With Her
Qin Yu was expressionless. He said in a quiet voice, “For this sort of matter to happen, I can understand Elder Ji Changkong’s feelings right now. But, this isn’t due to the actions of the Demon Envoy. When the Immortal Sect cultivators were killed, the Demon Envoy also simultaneously encountered a sneak attack and was severely wounded!”
Ji Changkong laughed. “How ridiculous. Demon Sovereign, are you trying to imply that the Demon Envoy was sneak attacked by my Immortal Sect?” He touched between his eyebrows and a mass of shadows wriggled out. “Demon Sovereign, this isn’t something you should be unfamiliar with. It is the Holy Palace’s supernatural art, the Demon Shadow Devouring Soul. This supernatural art is incredibly difficult to cultivate and it is said no more than three people in the entire Demonic Path have learned it. Now, within this small world, the only one who has managed to cultivate this great supernatural art is the Demon Envoy! And these are exactly the traces left behind by the person who killed my Immortal Sect disciples!”
The Buddhist Nation Sovereign said, “Demon Sovereign, although this matter is suspicious, my Immortal Sect’s Elder has still come forth with evidence. Please have the Demon Envoy come out.”
“There is no need to exhaust Your Majesty – I am already here.” The Demon Envoy’s voice sounded out. He walked into the courtyard, his face deathly pale. He first bowed to Qin Yu and then turned to Ji Changkong with a sharp glare.
“To try and shift blame to my Demonic Path, Elder Ji Changkong is quite brave. You didn’t even hesitate to bury 14 others just to frame me; I really do admire your courage!”
“Shut up!” Ji Changkong angrily shouted, “Demon Envoy, do you think I have no evidence of your actions?”
He lifted a hand and grasped forward. The Demon Envoy stuffily coughed and a faint trace of silver light shot forth from the clothing at his chest, condensing into the phantom of a six-armed guardian king.
“This is a unique supernatural power that I cultivated after learning the Silent Guardian King Art from the Buddhist Nation. I call it the Raging Guardian King and in this world I am the only one that can control it. What explanation do you have?”
The Demon Envoy’s complexion changed. Although he had sensed the aura of the Immortal Sect’s cultivation methods from the one who sneak attacked him, he didn’t expect that this would be a supernatural art that belonged solely to Ji Changkong. Moreover, a mark had been left behind on his body. Things had now become troublesome!
The Buddhist Nation Sovereign said, “I can testify that Ji Changkong’s words are true. When he first obtained the Silent Guardian King Art, I was the one who assigned someone to teach him.”
The Nether Domain Master looked up, “Demon Sovereign, you need to give the Immortal Sect a confession.” Although he didn’t believe that the Demon Envoy would do something so shocking and incredulous, the evidence was right in front of them. As one of the Immortal Sect’s three heads, the Nether Domain Master didn’t mind seizing this chance to kill off the Demon Envoy, leaving the Demonic Path with one less Calamity Immortal powerhouse.
Qin Yu’s frowned deepened. “I can only say that the murderer is not the Demon Envoy. When he was attacked I was by his side and also fought briefly with the attacker.”
The Nether Domain Master said, “Did you catch them?”
Qin Yu shook his head. “This person’s cultivation was extremely strange. They managed to run away.”
The Buddhist Nation Sovereign looked up, a dark light circulating in his eye as if he could see through all illusions. “Demon Sovereign, with your status, your personal guarantee is enough to act as evidence. I can see that on the Demon Envoy’s chest, there is blood there that doesn’t belong to him.”
The Demon Envoy hesitated for a moment. “That’s right. This is the blood spat out by the person who attacked me before they managed to run away due to my counterattack.”
The Buddhist Nation Sovereign nodded. “In my Buddhist Nation, there is a source tracing ability that can rely on things like hair, flesh, and blood to condense a blood child that can find its original master. I will use this supernatural art so we can see exactly who the one who attacked you is.”
He walked forward and lifted a hand. From the Demon Envoy’s bloodstained chest, a little bit of blood was peeled off. It floated in air and condensed into a seed, similar in appearance to a blood child.
Just as it finished condensing, the blood child hummed and then flew into Ji Changkong’s body without hesitation.
The Demon Envoy roared, “That’s impossible!”
The scene fell silent.
“Hahahahaha! It’s my blood, it’s my blood…” Ji Changkong clenched his teeth, “The Demon Envoy is the killer!” He looked up, a cynical taunting look in his eyes, “The solemn Demon Sovereign, one of the highest existences in the world, actually lies with his eyes wide open. My outlook has truly been broadened today!”
You Qi was immediately angered, “Silence! Who do you think my Holy Monarch is? He isn’t someone the likes of you can slander!”
Ji Changkong lifted a hand and pressed down. “You mere maid, you dare to be so impolite to me; you are simply seeking death!”
Qin Yu’s eyes turned cold. A terrifying aura appeared in the void and the strength that rushed forward was instantly annihilated.
Bang –
There was a low ringing sound. Although it wasn’t too loud, the entire world seemed to shake with it.
The Buddhist Nation Sovereign said without expression, “Does the Demon Sovereign plan on killing the witness to the crime?”
Qin Yu lightly said, “If I wanted to kill him, he would certainly die.”
The Buddhist Nation Sovereign smiled, “You can try.”
The tense atmosphere left everyone panting for breath!
Purple Moon suddenly said, “Demon Sovereign, the evidence is already conclusive. Please do not argue anymore and hand over the Demon Envoy.”
This disturbance occurred within the boundary of Nineheaven Mirrormoon Palace. But because Shen Yuanyin was in seclusion they didn’t have any room to interfere. Everything was led by the Buddhist Nation Sovereign and the Nether Domain Master.
Seeing that the situation had been decided, Purple Moon needed to make a statement on behalf of Nineheaven Mirrormoon Palace. When it came to forcing the Demonic Path to lower their head, Nineheaven Mirrormoon Palace had to be included!
Qin Yu’s eyes grew increasingly cold. Shen Yuanyin refused to meet him and the Demon Envoy had been framed with planted evidence. The Immortal Sect even wanted to force the situation…Purple Moon’s words became the last straw that crushed the remaining patience in his heart.
He looked up at Purple Moon and frostily said, “If I really wanted to kill someone, it wouldn’t be Ji Changkong.”
Purple Moon furrowed her eyebrows. “And who does the Demon Sovereign desire to kill?”
“You…Nineheaven Mirrormoon Palace’s Great Elder Purple Moon.” Qin Yu’s expression was calm and steady. Each word he spoke seemed to be accompanied by a thick winter chill, sending out a cold that pierced through to one’s bones.
Purple Moon’s heart shivered and she turned cold. She immediately laughed with anger, “Demon Sovereign, there was originally still some hesitation in my mind, but now I am able to determine that the one who killed my Immortal Sect’s cultivators is the Demon Envoy…someone as arrogant as you can do anything!”
Qin Yu’s expression was faint. He didn’t respond to her words. After a long silence, he opened his mouth and slowly said, “Everyone, you should all know that today isn’t the first time that I’ve come to the Immortal Sect.”
The complexions of the Demon Envoy and You Qi changed. They never imagined that Qin Yu would be so direct and toss out this bomb that would stimulate the Immortal Sect. However, when they saw the firmness on his face, they hesitated for a moment before deciding not to say anything.
“This is a story that happened dozens of years ago. When I came to the Immortal Sect, I once lived in this courtyard. It really is quite laughable when I think of it. In the past, I actually had thoughts of joining the Immortal Sect.”
The Buddhist Nation Sovereign and Nether Domain Master furrowed their eyebrows. With Qin Yu’s status, it was impossible for him to lie. But for the solemn and dignified master of the Demonic Path’s Holy Palace to say that he once had the idea of joining the Immortal Sect, that was simply unthinkable.
Purple Moon’s eyes widened and her face paled. She stared stubbornly at Qin Yu, as if she were trying to find someone from his face.
Qin Yu continued to stay, “In the past I held onto a beautiful and happy vision of the future. I diligently trained in order to earn recognition. In fact, my performance was very good, but in the end all I obtained was the fruits of a deliberate scheme against me.
“I still remember the despair and horror of that day. When my training had reached the last hurdle, the strength in my body spun out of control. What a terrifying collision of yin and yang energies it was; it was more than enough to turn me into ashes, both body and soul. At that time, I thought I would die.”
He looked up, “Great Elder Purple Moon, were you in disbelief when you discovered that I was in Four Seasons City? But I continued to survive. I survived until today where I am now the master of the Demonic Path’s Holy Palace.”
Purple Moon’s face drained of blood. She screamed out loud, “It’s impossible, you are spouting nonsense!”
Qin Yu lifted a hand and stroked his face. His face slightly changed, reverting back to his appearance from when he first entered the Immortal Sect. “Perhaps you might find this face more familiar.”
A trillion stars seemed to explode within the Buddhist Nation Sovereign’s eyes. No wonder he faintly felt his aura mingling together with that of the Demon Sovereign’s existence.
So it was him!
Alchemy Grandmaster Ning Qin…Demonic Path’s Holy Sovereign Yao Bin…both of those were nicknames. His true name was Qin Yu!
The Nether Domain Master’s heart sank. The crimes that the Immortal Sect had committed against Qin Yu were enough for them to become mortal enemies. For this sort of person to become the Holy Monarch of the Holy Palace, that was undoubtedly the worst news for the Immortal Sect.
Qin Yu stood up and a terrifying aura arrived. It seemed as if he could cause the skies to collapse with a single thought. He turned to Purple Moon, his expression cold as he said, “This is the reason why I said that if I wanted to kill someone, I would kill you first.”
He had exposed his true identity in the Immortal Sect so that he could demand payment for what he endured in the past. His thoughts surged and his black robes began to flutter all around him. Black, gold, and purple patterns started to appear on his robes, weaving together into the supreme runes of authority of the Demonic Path. A black flaming demon dragon roared from his back, seeming as if it would fly into the heavens.
After manifesting the Holy Monarch Robes, he was like a demon god that descended upon this world. The pressure he released was like a vast sea or the endless starry skies, leaving one drowning in fear.
Qin Yu stepped towards Purple Moon. “I once vowed to kill you. I promised to turn your bones to ashes and refine your soul so that you could never reincarnate…I would even have the entire Immortal Sect pay a deep price due to your stupidity! But now, I am willing to give you a chance. Hand over Ning Ling and I will not care about anything that has happened in the past!”
He stopped and roared, “Now give her back to me!”
