Chapter 717A – TeacherTeacher
Sixth Uncle’s vision flashed black and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. What was the meaning of this?
The Hidden Fog Sect people were also left speechless. Hey, with your status shouldn’t you be true to your word? To say something and then change your mind in the next moment, was this really alright?
Moreover, the way you spoke sounded far too righteous!
Sixth Uncle roared out loud, “Mister Ning Qin, do you plan on playing with us soon to be dead people?” He was simply apoplectic with rage. He was just about to reach his goal but had failed at the final moment.
If he knew this was going to happen earlier then he would have attacked just now. Perhaps he would have had some chance to capture Yun Die and take her hostage.
Damn it! Those words must have been to lull him into a sense of false confidence. It was laughable. He had always believed he was wise and intelligent, but now at the last moment he discovered that he was the one who had been tricked.
Qin Yu said without expression, “If that’s what you want to think, I won’t stop you.” He tightened his hand, preventing Yun Die from speaking up.
A short sword appeared in Sixth Uncle’s hand, the tip pointed at his chest. With an expression filled with grief, he said, “If this is it, then I and these other 170 people will commit suicide in front of you. I hope that our blood will stain your boots red so that you firmly remember what happened here today.”
Si Jia had no favorable impression towards these people from Hidden Tiger Lagoon. But at this time she still couldn’t help but furrow her eyebrows. And if she was feeling this way, it could be imagined what the others were thinking. Many people glanced at Qin Yu, an expectant look in their eyes.
This kind of quiet gaze could sometimes be a strong suppression. Unfortunately, this didn’t work on Qin Yu at all.
Qin Yu’s expression didn’t change. His lips moved and he said, “Do as you will.” He looked at Sixth Uncle, as if he were waiting for him to stab himself in the chest and for all of his red blood to recklessly spill out.
Bastard!
Sixth Uncle almost gnashed his teeth to pieces. He was sure that Qin Yu was different from those he met before. He really did have the intention of watching a show. Even if he were to kill himself here, Qin Yu wouldn’t stop him.
Qin Yu’s attitude forced Sixth Uncle into a desperate situation, suffocating any hope he had. This was the so-called ten chances of death and zero chances of survival.
But even if he was going to die, Sixth Uncle wouldn’t commit suicide. At this time he hated Qin Yu to the bone. As anger blazed in his chest, he came to a decision.
He tightly gripped the handle of the sword. The blade was lifted upwards, reflecting the surrounding light and making it look like a pale white spear head. The surrounding people began to whisper to themselves. Some female cultivators that were timid closed their eyes, not wanting to see what would happen next.
But at this moment, there were cries of alarm. When these sounds superimposed upon each other they formed a rumbling wave.
Sixth Uncle’s short sword fiercely flew free from his fingers. It tore through the air at an unimaginable speed, soaring right towards Qin Yu’s chest.
Even if I must die, I will pull you down with me!
To go to the yellow springs with a Grand Expert level beast trainer accompanying him, even if he failed this mission he believed that the Dark Parliament would consider this fact and let his family go.
Die! Die!
“How bold!” The Hidden Fog Sect Master roared out loud. He grasped a hand forward.
Boundless strength gushed out from the void, creating an immense suppression and causing the short sword’s flying speed to plummet. But at this time, there was a keening cry as the blade vibrated and tore through the imprisonment.
Qin Yu was right in front of it!
Sixth Uncle’s face flushed red with vivid excitement. This was where his confidence in killing came from. This short sword was gifted to him by the Dark Parliament. It possessed an inconceivable strength and poison was smeared along the blade. As soon as it pierced a person’s body, they were sure to die.
“Teacher!” The moment the short sword shot forward, Yun Die gasped. She wanted to block Qin Yu’s front.
But when she tried to move, she was stopped. Qin Yu lifted a hand and pointed forward.
Ding –
His finger collided with the sword point, and the unexpected sounds of metal striking stone filled the air. A faint pain came, followed by a surge of a violent cold aura.
Pa –
With a light sound, the short sword fell down in front of Qin Yu. There was a shallow cut on his fingertip and a drop of dark red blood flowed out. But then, that drop of blood turned pitch black as black energy freely rushed out from beneath his skin.
“Hahaha!” Sixth Uncle laughed out loud. “Mister Ning Qin, I invite you to join me as my companion on the road to the yellow springs!”
Yun Die cried out in sorrow. She hugged her teacher and said, “How are you? Are you okay?”
The Hidden Fog Sect people were shocked. Was a Grand Expert going to fall here today?
Qin Yu flung his arm and the drop of blood landed on the ground, emitting sizzling sounds on the floor. Then, he looked up at Sixth Uncle. Sixth Uncle had gradually stopped laughing and his eyes were wide open.
“Do you find it strange that I haven’t died yet? The poison you placed on the short sword is indeed fierce, but to me it's nothing more than a snack.”
With a thought, the black energy that surrounded his body started to disperse at a speed visible to the n.a.k.e.d eye. Soon, it was all restrained to the finger beneath his sleeve.
“No! This is impossible!” Sixth Uncle was left in a fl.u.s.tered panic.
In the next moment, he cried out loud. Billowing slaughter energy broke free from his body, condensing into the phantom of a wild tiger that crazily bit his soul.
He had used up too much strength in that attack just now. His mind had fallen into illusion so he lost control of his body too.
“Tiger ghost!” Several Hidden Tiger Lagoon cultivators screamed out loud. “He’s the one that killed the young master!”
The white tiger that Qin Yu subdued earlier suddenly had the brilliance restored to its eyes. It roared and broke free, biting down on Sixth Uncle’s throat.
Blood landed on the tiger’s pure white fur, making it look especially striking. Its actions verified the words of the Hidden Tiger Lagoon cultivators; Dou Zhan had really died beneath his hands.
Yun Die froze. She seemed to remember something horrifying as her complexion paled.
Qin Yu looked at her deeply. This disciple whom he had casually received seemed to be hiding some great secret on her body.
The Hidden Fog Sect cultivators were shocked. All sorts of reversals had happened tonight, but none of them were as shocking as this sight before them.
The one who killed Dou Zhan was actually his servant, a powerhouse that came from Hidden Tiger Lagoon…damn, this situation was too chaotic!
What was the reason behind all of this?
When reviewing the actions Sixth Uncle had taken after he killed Dou Zhan, it was clear he had wanted to grasp onto Yun Die. Many eyes veered in her direction.
No one here was that stupid. The goal of today’s farcical play all rested on Yun Die’s body.
Of course, no one would mention this point. Sometimes, pretending to know nothing was the best choice.
The Hidden Fog Sect Master glanced at Sixth Uncle’s corpse. He cupped his hands together and said, “Mister Ning Qin, what would you like to do now?”
Qin Yu said, “Since it’s been proven that this matter has nothing to do with Yun Die from start to finish, then allow those from Hidden Tiger Lagoon to leave. After this, if they want to investigate this case later, that will be their problem.”
He turned and left.
Yun Die followed close behind. She had already calmed down from her previous panic. Her thoughts turned and she knew she had to give her teacher an explanation.
Otherwise, no matter how generous her teacher was, he wouldn’t accept such a disciple.
She wiped her face and stood up. Soon, a decisive light flashed in her eyes.
She would give it to teacher. At the very least she didn’t find this disgusting. Maybe this was the best decision she could make.
“We wish Mister Ning Qin a safe trip!”
The Hidden Fog Sect people bowed.
“Concerning Mister Ning Qin’s matters, today I will issue out a sealing command. No one is allowed to utter even half a word, otherwise you will be punished!”
“Yes, Sect Master.”
..
After tonight’s events, this disciple and teacher pair clearly had something to discuss. Qin Yu walked into the residence that the Hidden Fog Sect had prepared for him for the first time.
When he sat down on a soft sofa, before he could even ask a question Yun Die had already fallen to her knees. “This disciple had no intent of concealing secrets from teacher. I ask that you punish me!”
Qin Yu looked at her. He slowly said, “Everyone in this world has secrets they don’t want others to know of. I am not blaming you for hiding anything. But, if you hiding something creates additional dangers, then that is a different situation. At the very least, you should have given me a warning.”
Yun Die trembled. “I know I was mistaken. If teacher doesn’t drive me away, then I…I am willing to give it to teacher…”
Seeing her blushing face, Qin Yu was a little confused. At this time, you aren’t even scared but are even playing the shy card?
As he thought, a woman’s thoughts couldn’t be guessed with common sense. He lightly coughed and said, “Speak and I will listen.”
Qin Yu had his own judgment methods. If Yun Die still planned on concealing the truth then he really might be disappointed, disappointed enough to expel her.
Luckily, Yun Die had already decided to confess everything. After several breaths of time, she said, “Teacher, in truth Yun Die is only my alias. My true name is Ying Qingju. Ten years ago, the Ying Family was a powerful force on the northern side of the First Moon Mountain Range. But unfortunately, a strange treasure caused a calamity of destruction to fall upon them.”
Following that, Yun Die narrated a long and old-fashioned story. It was nothing more than a treasure attracting the jealousy of powerful enemies. In the end, the family was exterminated and she was the only one to escape with the treasure.
It was because similar situations occurred countless times in the world of cultivators that this story gave an old-fashioned feeling. Out of a family of thousands, the only one left was an orphan girl. As a flower grown in a greenhouse, she had suddenly been exposed to the world of frost and snow outside. She had been forced to rely on herself to survive and hide everywhere to escape searching eyes. The sorrow and suffering she experienced over the years wasn’t something an outsider could fully understand.
