Chapter 60

Chapter 60

Qin Yu trashed Shen Haimo because of his pure energy comparable to a 6th layer of Golden Core . To this, was added the Demon Body’s extraordinary power and an astonishing Divine Sense . It was never an easy matter to fight against someone with higher cultivation—unless one would have a heaven-defying constitution or a formidable inheritance .

Shen Haimo raved again and again—yet in his heart— fear grew . With each punch, his condition worsened . This can't go on much longer, or soon his life will be beaten out of him .

Run!

Once this thought came, Shen Haimo was ashamed with bloodshot eyes, yet it only grew . How could dignity compare with life? His recently relaxed his cultivation, since he felt the sign of breaking through . Wouldn’t losing his life like this be more devastating when hes was so close of becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator?

When a man takes revenge, even ten years wasn’t too late!

To get away from this crisys, Shen Haimo roared . The tortoiseshell above him quickly shrunk, and the restriction also reduced until only Qin Yu was trapped—in a three zhang area . His eyes flashed with pain—like his flesh was gouged—then ran away . He had several breaths at most—to escape— since he was certain it couldn't hold him for long .

He wrapped himself in demonic energy, then whistled in the distance .

Li Yunmo shrieked and also ran .

The four Golden Core’s reactions were even faster—already several hundred zhang away .

Juxia City was thrown into chaos…

Humiliation!

A late-stage Golden Core and five strong Golden Cores— altogether six experts—were actually scared by a righteous Golden Core cultivator .

Who could redeem Demonic Faction’s dignity?

The tortoiseshell crumbled with a startling noise . Qin Yu’s killing intent rose around him—en route—locking on Shen Haimo .

Shen Haimo’s heart collapsed . ‘I knew the tortoiseshell wouldn’t hold, but why was it this fast? And why would you want to kill me? Li Yunmo is also your enemy, and so are the four shining Golden Cores at the side . Killing them is easy, so why the hell are you chasing me!’

A bloody flame was ignited, that increased Qin Yu’s speed ten-fold .

As Shen Haimo was despairing—a group was sighted far on the horizon . It held a blood-colored banner fluttering in the wind and along with a powerful aura . His eyes were wide from joy as he roared explosively, “Save me, Patriarch!”

He used his entire late Golden Core power, to send his voice everywhere in an instant . The escaping Li Yunmo and the other four stopped . They peeked from the corner of their eye at the approaching group, then turned around—fearless and itching to fight!

“Qin Yu, don’t be hasty!”

“We aren’t mortal enemies!”

“If we fight to the death, even you won't be able to leave this city!”

They yelled as loud as possible, scared it wouldn’t reach far enough . But the problem was, Qin Yu was already outside Juxia City

Shen Haimo’s mouth twitched, ‘These five bastards . ’ But he didn’t have the time to argue with these fools .

He recovered the sharpness in his eyes and—along with Qin Yu eyeing him like a falcon—resent and hatred fueled his endless desire to kill .

“Qin Yu, I know that you and that girl are close! Once you're dead, I promise I will find her and torture her!”

Shen Haimo was fearless!

When Seven Murders Patriarch’s chariot was going to arrive, Qin Yu was bound to die . He won't be able to kill him even if he didn’t retreat .

Qin Yu flicked a gaze at the incoming group, eyes darkening instantly . He set his sights on Shen Haimo, “I won't give you the chance, die!”

Shen Haimo’s heart shrank .

Qin Yu lifted his hand and pointed .

Boundless Azure!

He launched a finger and a sudden wind rose .

Shen Haimo’s face instantly lost all color . With a desperate cry, he exploded his late Golden Core cultivation and wrapped himself in layer upon layer of demonic energy .

The chariot’s door banged open and a middle-aged man dressed in blood-colored robes stepped out . He had a gloomy expression—filled with killing intent .

This man was Tian Xingmo—the Patriarch of Seven Murdering Demonic Sect!

Boundless Azure landed with a boom .

The demonic energy collapsed with a small tremble and revealed the pale Shen Haimo . His entire expression conveyed unwillingness, as he barely managed to lower his head to look . His chest had now an open hole with blood madly flowing out of it—the heart nowhere to be seen .

Qin Yu launched both his arms, and made Shen Haimo cry mournfuly with face twisted in fear, as his body was quickly drying up . Rich blood flowed out of his pores and gathered above his head, then turned into an eerie devil face .

Tian Xingmo’s expression changed, ‘This… this is…’ He sucked in a cold breath—suppressed his alarm— as his eyes burned .

A black flame swallowed the devil face and vanished the next second .

At this, Qin Yu felt his entire body relax, as if a karmic connection entangled with him dissipated .

Then, 12 Demonic Pillars rose, connecting heaven and earth and imprisoned the area .

Tian Xingmo walked in midair, with his aura of a Nascent Soul enshrouding the world, “Junior Qin Yu, you won’t escape from killing one of my people!”

A demonic hand suddenly appeared—pitch black—with a jaded texture and distinct patterns, as if an ancient demon was coming to grab Qin Yu! The hearts of the demonic cultivators in the city sped up, and couldn’t help but thought of, ‘The Demonic Faction still has someone who can resolve this crisis!’

Seven Murders Patriarch was an outstanding Nascent Soul expert . Death would be too light of a punishment for Qin Yu! ‘Let's see you be arrogant now, punk . Your judgment is at hand!’

Qin Yu had a grave expression . The pressure exuded by an early Nascent Soul was making all his bones groan . Based on his current cultivation, he never imagined he will be using them this soon .

With a wave of his hand, 108 strange fish fangs floated around him . Once Qin Yu’s finger landed, the fangs charged .

The first fang was crushed as it hit, then exploded . Then the second, the third, and the fourth… The demonic hand was very powerful but it still couldn’t hold under this terrifying attack . One by one, cracks appeared and then collapsed . The booming sounds haven’t yet ended, and the demonic hand was already torn apart . Then the rest of the fangs made a beeline for Tian Xingmo!

“Drifting Arms!” Tian Xingmo roared, startled . He released his demonic energy in the form of a night sky—with stars radiating within . The fangs entered it and exploded . As if they entered the heavens it prevented the explosions from harming him .

But this wasn’t without a price . Tian Xingmo retreated with each explosion until he reached the limit of the 12 Demonic Pillars’ range and was made to step out of it . The next moment, the 12 Demonic Pillars grew vague .

A bloody flame burned fiercely as he used the Blood Escaping Technique, and Qin Yu inside of it smashed into an invisible shield, breaking through while spitting blood .

Then he stormed away .

Tian Xingmo had a dark face . He caught a drop of blood and sniffed, then his eyes burned with rage . It was just a guess before, but now he was certain . It was the Demon Body; it was truly the Demon Body! But Qin Yu had already escaped . Even he was unable to catch him when he increase his spee by crazily burning his blood essence to use the Blood Escaping Technique and increase his speed .

“Send order to the sect to find him . No matter the cost, find him!”

…

Sky City .

The Ancient Immortal Valley was the Southern Nation’s number one sect—a great Alchemy sect . But Sky City was considered by all cultivators in the Southern Nation as the most majestic place . It was built upon a natural Floating Stone, turning into a veritable flying city . It had survived for almost ten thousand years and not even someone as powerful as Ancient Immortal Valley would dare to take it for themselves .

This place was also the safest place in the Southern Nation’s borders . It was forbidden for cultivators to fight in Sky City and demonic cultivators were refused entrance thanks to the natural formation around it . All of the people living here had either strong backing or important identities .

Inside the Southern Nation’s territory, the Zhu clan was one of the qualified to be this city’s ruler . This clan had an inheritance spanning ten generations . It had its struggles, but it has always remained strong . Now it had three Golden Cores to support it, with each one of them belonging to a large sect . The connections and influence gained from this cannot be overlooked .

Qin Yu was precisely standing in front of this clan’s manor . He was dressed in black—all physical features hidden . Although suspicious, the Golden Core aura he had caused the guards to be cautious . Especially when he claimed of being sir Qing Yun’s old friend .

Zhu Qingyun’s cultivation might be the lowest among the three Golden Core in the Zhu clan, but his talent was the highest . He was the clan’s favorite .

“Wait a moment, sir, I will immediately report it . ” A guard then left in a hurry .

Soon, Zhu Qingyun came with big steps, to the shock of the remaining guard . He spoke before he even arrived, “Where is the one who is asking for me?”

Qin Yu smiled and cupped his hands, “Brother Zhu, it’s been a long time . ”

Zhu Qingyun was delighted, “You…” His eyes were astute, nodding, “Follow me!” Then led Qin Yu inside the manor .

On the way to his place, Zhu Qingyun bluntly asked, “Was it you who killed Shen Haimo?”

Qin Yu removed the hood, smiling, “No . ”

Zhu Qingyun let out a long breath, “I mean, how can it be you . How could you have killed Shen Haimo in this short amount of time?? Furthermore, some say Seven Murdering Demonic Sect’s Tian Xingmo stepped in and you still got away . Isn’t this too ridiculous?”

Qin Yu’s smile never wavered .

In a flash, Zhu Qingyun connected the dots, “The crux is—apart from you—who would chase Shen Haimo to death? Be honest with me, was it really you? Ever since I got the news, I never managed to get a good night's sleep!”

“If you think it’s true then it’s true, if not it's not . ” Qin Yu winked while giving a vague answer .

Zhu Qingyun’s eyes went wide and his jaw dropped . His mind was filled with curses and obscenities— despite not saying anything .

A while later, Zhu Qingyun sucked a deep breath, and somewhat recovered his bearing, “Y-you… you damn freak!” his eyes showed resentment, thinking that with the recent breakthrough in the next layer, the difference between him and Qin Yu shrank considerably . Who would have guessed that in a blink, he would be left so far behind that he couldn’t even see his shadow?

Qin Yu laughed, “Alright, alright . You should know why I came . ”

Zhu Qingyun’s mouth twitched, “Rest assured, I sent Gu Ling'er to the Rainbow Immortal Sect . I entrusted her to someone so that she will stay in Sky City . And with you having killed Shen Haimo, I reckon there is no one who knows of your relation . ” After a pause, “Want me to send someone to bring her here and see her?”

Qin Yu pondered, then shook his head, “No . ”

Zhu Qingyun was dumbfounded, “To save her, you first killed Liang Taizu and then Shen Haimo . The entire Seven Murdering Demonic Sect went crazy in their search for you to repay this enmity and you really won't see her?”

Qin Yu smiled, “When I saw her the first time, a great danger befell her . As long as she is safe, it won't make a difference . ”

Zhu Qingyun nodded, “Your matter, your decision . ”

Qin Yu cupped his hands, “Brother Zhu, take care of Gu Ling'er . I worry that there will be many troublesome matters later on, so I give you my thanks in advance . ”

Zhu Qingyun waved his hand, skeptical, “You are now capable and strong . The Zhu clan hasn’t yet made use of this connection with you to rise, so how could you have troubles . ”

Qin Yu laughed, “If I am able later, I will help you . ”

This is a promise .

Because it was limited, the promise seemed more assured, more sincere .

Zhu Qingyun laughed with joy, “I'll remember it!”

The clan used a favor to send Gu Ling'er to the Rainbow Immortal Sect . It waited until the end to hint about this and come to an agreement . Qin Yu guessed this, so he gave the Zhu clan a promise . That’s how the society worked, a friend for a friend and a favor for a favor .

“Come, we won't stop till we're drunk!”

Qin Yu agreed with a smile .

He owed this drink for a long time, and might as well give it .

Zhu Qingyun—among drinks—asked in a roundabout way how Qin Yu became so strong in such a short time . But the answer wasn’t elaborate enough . Zhu Qingyun cursed him for being untrustful, yet Qin Yu only smiled—not minding it . Both of them were well aware, that saying this was for the purpose of getting friendlier, not meant to divulge the truth .

Later, Zhu Qingyun tried unsuccessfully to detain Qin Yu and so said their goodbyes .

Rainbow Immortal Sect residence area .

Qin Yu stood at the end of the street and waited for two hours before he got to see Gu Ling'er . She was among other female cultivators, bashful, yet increasingly confident .

This girl seemed to have grown up .

Qin Yu left with a smile .

Gu Ling'er suddenly turned her head in confusion .

“What’s wrong Gu Ling'er?” a senior sister asked .

Gu Ling'er bit her lip . She looked left and right, but the previous feeling didn’t return, ‘Why is it that I feel as if my heart was empty, like a piece of it was missing . ’
