Chapter 1761(2) – B – Break The Drum First

Swallow Mountain.

Non-True Kings would not be able to travel through vast distances with a single thought and they would waste a lot of time traveling.

Number 327 said, “I can handle it myself. Sect Master Qin, you should hurry up and recover.”

“Mm.”

Qin Yu nodded, “I will head off.”

He turned and left.

Qin Yu took deep and soothing breaths in on his journey and he pretty much recovered from his injuries. Furthermore, he also thought through a few things.

There was no such thing as mercy for a foe and there was not a moment when Qin Yu thought he was cool.

That was no different than being an idiot.

Therefore, there was something to this.

He decided to wait.

If there was an answer to his questions, this answer would come quickly and it would come directly to him.

Shoosh –

His body flashed, and without alerting anyone, Qin Yu returned to his living quarters.

As the Sect Master, this place was marked as forbidden grounds. Without his permission, no one would be able to enter here.

Although Qin Yu was already expecting this, he did not expect the answer to come so quickly.

When he turned around, he realized that Demon Moon was already behind him. She was casually surveying the surroundings. “Hey, Qin Yu, as the only King realm swordsman here, your place is quite wretched.”

Her entire face was filled with disdain.

Qin Yu froze for a moment before he cupped his hands together and bowed, “Thank you Lord Demon Moon for your mercy.”

Demon Moon waved her hand dismissively, “No need for that, I wasn’t saving face for you by holding back.” She turned around; her expression was calm but serious. She carefully surveyed Qin Yu.

“Lord Demon Moon, what are you looking for?”

“Looking at what aspect you are great in. You look ordinary, so how did that one voluntarily let you off?”

Qin Yu’s expression faltered.

There was a surprising meaning to these words and it seemed like Demon Moon knew about the seal in Demon Lake!

This also gave an explanation as to why she held back.

Silence filled the room.

Demon Moon smirked, “You are very cautious and have a good mentality. You can remain calm even after I picked out such a crucial thing.

She drummed her fingers on a table and spat out a name, “White Feifei.”

Irrefutable evidence!

She was not shooting her shot but she truly knew about it.

Qin Yu’s mind spun quickly and finally, he sighed deeply and cupped his hands, “That’s right, Sister Feifei and I have an agreement.”

“She wants you to find her other body parts for her?” Demon Moon clicked her tongue in astonishment. She looked at Qin Yu’s gaze and was impressed, “Young lad, you are truly bold. You actually dared to do something like this. Don’t you know about the circle of karma and retribution?”

Qin Yu’s face was calm.

“How bold!”

Demon Moon gave a thumbs up, “Your fearless attitude makes me look more highly upon you. Tell me, what do you want to do?”

She turned around and sat down, “Let me remind you first. The Demon Clan must have a slice of the pie in this or I will not let you off!”

Qin Yu’s eyes brightened, “Demon Moon, you are willing to abandon Demon Lake?”

Demon Moon said, “What can I do even if I am not willing? Since this is what White Feifei wants, there is no point in preventing this. It would only quicken the demise of the Demon Clan. I might as well raise my condition properly.”

Qin Yu was silent for a while, “How can I trust you?”

Demon Moon rolled her eyes, “Are you dumb? Do you think that I will betray you when you are collaborating with White Feifei? Forget it, I am not interested in stupid things.”

Qin Yu thought about it and decided to trust Demon Moon.

This was because White Feifei did not seem to oppose this and this matter was closely related to her.

If she did not reject it, it meant that she agreed to it.

Of course, he could not fully trust her. Qin Yu was even starting to wonder if White Feifei made a silent agreement with Demon Moon.

“Lord Demon Moon, this is the case.”

Qin Yu told her about the deal between him and that clan as well as the secret of the Longevity realm that was used to exchange for fate to help him through to the King realm.

His real motive was to target that clan, but he did not raise this at all.

As he spoke, Qin Yu carefully observed Demon Moon’s reaction and he tried to discover any signs from her.

Nothing!

“Just like that?” Demon Moon raised an eyebrow, “Qin Yu, you are not sincere enough.”

Qin Yu’s heart jumped but his expression was calm, “Everyone should keep some secrets to themselves. I believe Lord Demon Moon will understand this.”

Demon Moon scoffed, “What if I don’t understand?”

Qin Yu replied, “That would be a pity.”

He would feel pitiful, but that was it.

Qin Yu was betting on Demon Moon. Since she noticed White Feifei’s presence, she would restrain herself.

Furthermore, the change in her expression back then made Qin Yu feel slightly assured.

It seemed that Demon Moon did not know Qin Yu’s true motive. White Feifei kept silent the whole time and she did not interact with Demon Moon at all; this was rather strange.

Perhaps their relationship was different from what he thought.

Very good!

Qin Yu was worried that they would collaborate and scheme against him.

That would be a disaster!

“Hmph!”

Demon Moon scoffed coldly, “Qin Yu, I will repeat myself. You are really bold.”

Qin Yu cupped his hands, “It is not what I intended but I hope you can forgive me.”

Two hours later, the two ended their secret conversation.

Demon Moon stood up with a rueful expression, “You, humans truly take twists and turns to reach your destination.”

She raised her hand and patted Qin Yu on his back, “Young brat, we will do as you said. However, if I find out that you are scheming against the Demon Clan, I will make sure that you live in a nightmare for the rest of your life.”

Qin Yu cupped his hands together, “Have a safe journey.”

Shoosh –

Demon Moon vanished.

Qin Yu stood up and a flash of light crossed his eyes. Although there were hiccups, things had progressed better than expected. With Demon Moon, the plan grew more perfect.

This time, that clan would not be able to escape!

Qin Yu suddenly frowned…

Before this, he had to find out about Number 327.

……

Recently, many events happened in the Central Desolate Divine Area. Firstly, a large scale family-owned auction house was discovered to have sold forbidden items and they were investigated.

It was rumored that it was a Half-King from a certain city in Great Qin that stepped in and that was how he was able to suppress the situation so quickly.

Secondly, the Transcendent Sect suddenly announced that they would forgo the accumulated share of resources that the Water Moon Sect, Dark Spirit Sect, Cloud Sky Sect and other big and small family sects had obtained over the years.

News leaked out that these sects were not disrespectful of the Transcendent Sect but not many people believed this.

Thirdly, the Great Qin army that had been camping in the central mountain area suddenly changed its leadership. Thirty mid-ranked generals were transferred to another location.

Aside from that, there were some other events that did not seem major and did not seem to link to each other.

However, some powers on the inside could clearly see that these events were directly related to that clan!

That was because all these people who suffered a calamity had some form of relationship with that clan.

It was not displayed on the surface but it was no secret either.

There were going to be severe aftereffects from this!

Because the one who took action this time was the Transcendent Sword Sect, who was ranked first among the four great sects of the Great Qin Empire.

The court and the sect, two great powerhouses simultaneously raised difficulties!

This directly slapped the faces of those who thought things would be calm after something happened to the Opening Heavens Sword Sect, Qin Yu. Now, they only felt their hearts beating faster.

No one knew the reason why, but when the Great Qin Empire and the Transcendent Sword Sect took action, that clan would be in deep trouble.

Because no one would be able to stand their ground against them.

The most direct implication of this was that the pressure on that clan had grown insurmountable and they found themselves in a precarious spot.

It was rumored that that clan’s leader smashed his cup because of this.

……

“National Advisor, are these the only things we are going to do?” Zhao Yuan asked respectfully.

He had gone to Sky Falling Mountain.

The reason why he had survived was because the national advisor stepped in to save him.

From then on, Zhao Yuan listened to his Old Ancestor and he served the national advisor.

The national advisor smiled, “It is enough. We are not really taking action but we are just setting up the environment.” He turned around and held his arms behind his back, “As the saying goes, ruining a drum that is not loved will allow anyone to hit it again without any consequences…there are many who want that clan to fall. We simply need to start it and watch what happens.”

Many had died in Sky Falling Mountain. Although it was their choice to enter it and they should have been prepared to pay the price, these were just empty words and people naturally held grudges.

The hate from various powers towards that clan was at its most intense level now.

Zhao Yuan nodded to show his understanding. After thinking about it, he said, “However, there are two True Kings in that clan now and the leader is at the highest rank of the King realm.”

“In the grand scheme of things, this is nothing.” National Advisor smiled, “That clan will start taking action soon.”
