Chapter 1685 – Old And Experienced
Between the clouds at the Breaking Heavens Mountain Range.
The national advisor frowned and there was surprise in his eyes. He did not expect that it would be broken through.
Evidently, things were happening outside of his expectations.
He had no intention to interfere and pull things back to the right track. After all, Bull Dingtian was a difficult person.
Otherwise, the Bull Family would have been ruined already.
“Interesting.”
The national advisor sighed to himself. Then, he looked at the gloomy clouds in the distance.
The guardian of the Opening Heavens Sword Sect was hiding much more than he expected. Furthermore, it did not look like a skill of the Opening Heavens Sword Sect.
However, these great sects with a rich history never died hard and their roots always dug deep. It was normal that they hid things from outsiders.
Although he failed this time, they were the ones who lost out. This was an acceptable outcome for Great Qin.
The death of the ancient person hiding in the clouds would also result in a harsh blow to the Demon Clan in the Breaking Heavens Mountain Range. There was no longer a need for this Demon Clan to continue existing.
Shoosh –
With a sly smile, the national advisor stepped forward and his body disappeared.
……
After a light meal, Rourou’s expression was much better. However, her lips twitched and it was obvious she was not in a good mood.
That lad hidden under the black robe only had two souls. She was done quickly.
She glanced at Qin Yu and scoffed, “Now, you should understand that there are always people better than you right?”
Qin Yu nodded, “There are truly a lot of elites in the Central Desolate Divine Area.”
“Hmph! How are these considered elites? They are just simple playthings.” Rourou’s lips were curled to one side. With two souls devoured by her, that lad would be a cripple. If another few hundred years had gone by, his two souls would have merged and he would have become difficult to deal with.
“With things like this, we should go.” Rourou extended an arm and grabbed Bull Bean, Yuan Qin, Yuan Hu, and Sprout.
She snapped her fingers and there was a light glow in her palm. A flying fish with a pair of wings on its back appeared in front of everyone. It was now ten feet long and it floated in mid air in a respectful manner.
Rourou was the first to jump on. Qin Yu grabbed Sprout, Bull Bean, and the pair of siblings, and hopped up. His face was still solemn.
The fins of the flying fish swayed slightly and the flying fish cried before it flew forward at the speed of lightning.
It very quickly flew out of the mist, and in a flash, it was between the clouds.
The flying fish stopped among the clouds and it appeared like a boat that was cruising in open sea. It carried a contented feeling.
Rourou scanned her surroundings and a cold smirk slowly appeared.
Old thing, you move quickly. However, I will remember this.
Qin Yu said, “What is it?”
Rourou answered, “Some old folk is scheming against us.” As she said this, she suddenly stretched out an arm and clenched her fist.
Clouds gathered into her palm. All of a sudden, there was a ‘bang’ and the clouds dispersed.
The flying fish’s fin zoomed out of the clouds and it sped downwards.
The national advisor was already a distance away. Sensing something, he turned towards the direction of the Breaking Heavens Mountain Range. There was a light smile on his face and he thought to himself that the guardian of the Opening Heavens Sword Sect was really an interesting person.
He purposely left that thing behind as a test. The national advisor was very satisfied with the outcome.
Since the Opening Heavens Sword Sect had returned to the Central Desolate Divine Area, they were going to open their sect soon. If he could exploit this, he could turn them into a good chess piece. If the guardian was so strong, and the inheritor of the Opening Heavens Sword Sect…the national advisor thought of Qin Yu and his smile became even brighter.
Somehow, he felt like this man would give him a great surprise in the future.
……
Bull Bean had been silent for a long while on the flying fish’s back. Finally, she spoke, “The ferry of the Sky Sea Sect…”
Qin Yu glanced at Rourou and saw that she had no intentions of explaining. He thought for a while and then said, “Don’t worry. When we left, we were already very close to the boundary of the mist. They can escape easily.”
Bull Bean’s heart was at ease and she nodded silently. She lowered her head and did not say anything.
No matter what, the people on the ferry were dragged in because of her.
Even if the ferry could escape Breaking Heavens Mountain Range, too many people had died. This formed a heavy pressure on Bull Bean’s chest and it made breathing difficult.
Furthermore, she still could not come to terms with the things that happened on the ferry.
Why?
Bull Bean knew that she was definitely a very kind girl who never harmed anyone. She never even had such thoughts.
So why did they want to kill her? If not for Qin Yu and Rourou, she would have died long ago.
As soon as she thought of this, chills went down her spine. She unconsciously curled up and hugged her own knees.
Qin Yu looked at her and he could guess what she was thinking. He could not help but sigh lightly to himself. Some things could not be explained and she would have to figure it out by herself.
He closed his eyes and resumed his cultivation.
……
The thick blood felt as deep as an ocean and it covered the entire sky.
Bull Dingtian opened his eyes and burst into laughter.
Although he could no longer keep his projection beside Bull Bean, he could sense her current circumstances.
She was out of danger!
The Bull Family people would find her quickly, and when that happened, no one would be able to harm her.
As for whether those people would go against their word, Bull Dingtian was not worried.
Unless they wanted to die, they would not dare to renege on their promises.
With this weight off of his heart, Bull Dingtian felt much more at ease. He stood up and narrowed his eyes at the blood red sky above his head.
“Dead and that’s it. Can you still fight me in death? This rotten place is absolutely ruined!”
Boom –
He stomped down heavily and shot into the sky, instantly piercing through the sea of blood. Numerous tidal waves gushed out.
Beneath the blood sea, shadows appeared one after another. It was a dark and sinister scene.
One had to admit that Bull Dingtian was truly strong.
He was a human and his cultivation was at the Transcendent Peak. It was unbelievable that he was so strong that he could match up to the strongest ancient person.
Furthermore, they knew that Bull Dingtian made the first move to penetrate the blood sea as a warning to them.
He was warning them not to forget their promise.
“Attack.”
The shadows dispersed and in the next moment, numerous shadows shot to the sky in the sealed small world. They were not trying to help Bull Dingtian, but if they did not make a move, the ancient person would be swallowed whole by him.
Kaboom –
The blood sea shook violently. The massive outline of a giant could be roughly seen lying in the blood sea. It could erupt at any moment. This figure was ten kilometers tall and its arm was as big as an entire mountain range.
……
The Bull Family people were here.
They were all burly men who looked as strong as cows. Their muscles bulged out from their arms and they made people feel safe.
The moment they arrived, they surrounded Bull Bean and rained questions on her. One could see that their love and concern came from the bottom of their hearts.
However, it was weird seeing the group of burly people speaking to her in such a soft and tender voice.
They finally recalled that there were other people here.
Bull Dingshan coughed lightly. He cupped his hands together, “Bull Bean told us what happened. Thank you for your help, the Bull Family will remember this favor. In the future when you two need help, you can come to the Bull Family. Whatever we can do, we will definitely do it!”
His low and muffled voice was powerful.
Rourou could not be bothered with this and she turned to look at the scenery.
Qin Yu smiled, “Thank you, we already reached an agreement with Old Ancestor Bull. This is what we ought to do.”
Bull Dingshan shook his head, “Each person is of his own. The Old Ancestor has his own agreement with you, but since you saved my daughter, I should repay your favor.”
Was he forcing Qin Yu to accept a favor? Qin Yu didn’t think that the Bull Family had such practices.
Mm, not bad, not bad!
Qin Yu thought for a while and he observed Bull Dingshan’s serious expression. There was no way for Qin Yu to turn him down. Hence, he nodded and smiled.
Bull Dingshan smiled, “That is right. We need to have a conscience.”
Qin Yu’s smile suddenly felt stiff.
Thankfully, Bull Dingshan was saying those words to himself and he totally ignored Qin Yu’s expression. “I will leave first, I’ll see you again.”
Bull Bean squeezed forward and stared at the unconscious Sprout. She bit her lower lip and asked, “Will she be alright?”
Qin Yu nodded, “Don’t worry, she will be fine.”
Bull Bean sighed and then she bowed at Rourou and Qin Yu, “I have not had the chance to thank you two. I am really grateful to you for saving my life.”
Qin Yu pondered but he did not know what else to say. He eventually smiled and nodded.
The Bull Family people led Bull Bean, Yuan Hu, and Yuan Qin away. Once he sent the ferry off, Qin Yu understood why Old Ancestor Bull was so confident that Bull Bean would be safe once the Bull Family members arrived.
This group of burly men not only appeared frightening, they really were frightening as well. A few of them were at the peak Ruler realm, and Bull Bean’s father, Bull Dingshan, had already surpassed the Celestial Threshold. He was a Half-King.
With such protection, unless a True King appeared, no one would dare to bully Bull Bean. The Bull Family…was powerful!
Rourou scoffed, “Now you know why I was adamant about making Bull Dingtian owe us a favor right? With this, you are an important person to the Bull Family. If you face danger in the future, all you need to do is mention the Bull Family name and you will obtain a free pass from death.”
Qin Yu nodded, “Miss Rourou is intelligent and I really admire that…however, I am curious about Bull Bean’s mother. What outstanding being is she?”
As he spoke, his tone sounded rueful.
Rourou thought for a while. Not only did she not mock him, she even nodded and agreed with him.
Bull Dingshan’s appearance could be described as ordinary. However, it would be an insult to the word ‘good-looking’ if this word was attached to him. To have such a beautiful daughter, Bull Bean…regardless, Bull Dingshan did not seem to be someone who would suddenly change one day.
Furthermore, there was Bull Dingtian, the old and experienced one, who would shut down candidates whose bloodlines were not strong enough.
However, this thought lingered in their minds for a short moment and then it was gone.
Qin Yu glanced at the unconscious Sprout and asked, “Will she be alright?”
Rourou’s lips pouted, “Didn’t you reassure Bull Bean just now?”
Qin Yu was startled. He coughed lightly, “I just didn’t want her to worry. After all, she is truly a good person.”
Silence from Rourou meant that she acknowledged it. She glanced at Sprout, “She did not manage to grasp it even after so long. But after she took the three arrows, she managed to latch onto an opportunity. It is risky. If she does not wake up, she will die.”
“What’s the probability of that?”
“Half.”
Qin Yu rubbed his chin. It was not low, but no matter how he looked at her, Sprout did not seem like someone who would have a short life.
Rourou turned and walked away. There was a cliff ahead of her and she stepped forward and dropped down instantly.
Qin Yu reached forward and picked Sprout up in his hands. He followed after Rourou.
There was a joyous squawk in the air. The flying fish happily flew off the cliff and headed into the clouds.
“Where are we going?”
Rourou thought for a bit before she answered, “There are changes to the plan but we don’t have to worry. Let’s head to Long Mountain Range and find a place to wait.”
“Bull Dingtian?”
Rourou’s eyebrows raised, “Great Lord Qin, you are quite wise!”
