Chapter 709: Losing Decorum!

Translator: CKtalon Editor: CKtalon

Qin Yun and Yi Xiao looked at the perfected Great Dao expert, Elder Yellowbeard.

“Brother Yun, you just killed Chaos Godfiend Yuci, and here comes his benefactor, Elder Yellowbeard. I doubt he’s here with kind intentions,” said Yi Xiao with a voice transmission.

“Let’s see what he wants first,” replied Qin Yun.

Elder Yellowbeard’s phantom walked through the void and arrived at the mountaintop. He said politely, “Greetings, Sword Immortal Qin, Madam Qin.”

“Yellowbeard, just get straight to the point.” Qin Yun frowned slightly.

Elder Yellowbeard shook his head in regret. “Madam Qin, did you see that? I came here nicely and politely, but your husband is just so impolite.”

Yi Xiao said sternly as well, “Patriarch Yellowbeard, my husband just killed your subordinate Yuci, so there’s no need to put on an act as you waltz onto our Mt. Lightning Roar. Just get straight to the point.”

The yellow-haired elder scoffed and said, “Sword Immortal Qin does abhor evil and has killed many sinners in the Three Realms. Yuci was indeed one with grave sins... I can understand why Sword Immortal Qin wished to kill him. But according to the rules of the Three Realms, the Yellowbeard Great World is my territory. Yuci was my subordinate. Even if you wanted to kill him, shouldn’t you have informed me first?”

Whenever any major faction wanted to kill another major faction’s expert, an agreement had to be made first.

Without a consensus, it was equivalent to smacking the face of the other person.

There had been many similar situations that happened among the major factions in the Three Realms in the past. They would secretly negotiate and when the time came, sent their subordinates to their deaths!

But as for Qin Yun...

How huge a price would he have needed to pay to make Elder Yellowbeard abandon Yuci?

He never had the intention of benefiting Elder Yellowbeard. He didn’t like Yuci, and hated Elder Yellowbeard even more!

Now that Yuci had been killed, what could be done?

If he had the strength, Qin Yun even wished to finish Elder Yellowbeard who was even more riddled with sins! The Daoists and Buddhists actually wished him dead too, but he was unfathomably strong. He also lived in a Great World, so the Daoists and Buddhists could do nothing to him. Since he could not be killed... the only thing that could be done was maintaining peace on the surface.

“Tell you ahead of time? You would probably have immediately protected him,” said Qin Yun coldly.

“How do you know I wouldn’t have been agreeable to it when you haven’t discussed it with me?” Yellowbeard laughed. “In the Three Realms, as long as you are willing to pay the price, everything is negotiable.”

“Hmph.” Qin Yun didn’t bother quibbling with him.

Yellowbeard said coldly, “But you didn’t negotiate with me, you suddenly came to my Yellowbeard Great World and killed my subordinate! You didn’t even make any mention. It’s equivalent to stomping on my face in front of all the mighty figures in the Three Realms!”

Qin Yun did not say a word; all he did was look at Yellowbeard.

“Is there nothing you wish to say for having humiliated me this way?” Yellowbeard frowned.

Qin Yun said nonchalantly, “What do you want?”

“By humiliating me in this way... you naturally have to apologize by compensation,” said Yellowbeard.

“Apologize by compensation?” Qin Yun and Yi Xiao exchanged looks.

Yellowbeard had come today for him to apologize and compensate him?

“I’ve heard that Sword Immortal Qin has been to the spatial tide twice. I believe you have obtained quite a lot of treasures,” said Yellowbeard. “Let’s do this. You can compensate me with one Connate Cardinal treasure! Then, I’ll be magnanimous and not take calculative action with you.”

“Connate Cardinal treasure?” Yi Xiao was alarmed.

Qin Yun looked at Yellowbeard and scoffed. “Yellowbeard, the compensation you ask for is a Connate Cardinal treasure? Have you been drinking?”

Yellowbeard chuckled. “Qin Yun, you still have a few decades before your twelfth Itinerant Immortal tribulation. You still rely on your Intrinsic Flying Sword, right? How useful are other Connate Cardinal treasures in your hands?”

It was a fact.

Even though Qin Yun had consumed the Spirit Enlightening Fruit, had fused the Dao of Supreme Yin and Supreme Yang, added the Seven Stars Great Dao into his Sword Dao of Heaven, Earth, and Man, as well as fused the charms of the Heavenly Dao realm bloodline powers... to create the powerful Misty Rain Array, without his Intrinsic Flying Sword, Qin Yun’s strength was only on par with Goumang, Rushou, and Kong Xuan.

Ordinary Connate Cardinal treasures were only for him to study. They were indeed of little use for the transcending of the tribulations.

As a sword immortal, he only truly needed his Intrinsic Flying Sword to transcend the tribulation.

After all, he had nurtured his Intrinsic Flying Sword into a Connate Cardinal treasure and a Merit Cardinal treasure.

“Why hoard things that are useless for your tribulation?” Yellowbeard said. “If you were to die from the tribulation, the more treasures you leave your family, the more trouble they will invite. Hence, I’m advising you to divest your treasures... For example, gift your treasures to Green Touring Palace and give me one Connate Cardinal treasure.

“By compensating me, I’ll forgive you and it will be the end of this debacle. Isn’t that nice?” Yellowbeard looked at Qin Yun.

“Yellowbeard, you may leave if that’s all you have to say,” Qin Yun said coldly.

He couldn’t be bothered to waste his time on Yellowbeard.

“If you do not compensate me,” said Yellowbeard indifferently, “hmph, do you think I’ll let the matter of you humiliating me, a perfected Great Dao existence, rest? I naturally can’t do a thing with you alive, but once you are dead, I’ll uproot your Qin family. All the descendants of your Qin family bloodline will be eradicated! Not one will be spared!”

Qin Yun’s and Yi Xiao’s expression changed as they glared at Yellowbeard.

Yellowbeard’s expression also turned cold.

“What? Did you not hear me clearly?” Yellowbeard sneered. “Pray that you transcend the Itinerant Immortal tribulation. If you don’t I’ll eradicate your whole Qin family! Not a single descendant should bear hope of survival. Hmph, perhaps Green Touring Palace’s Numinous Treasure Dao Ancestor will be able to protect your Qin family, but once the Dao Ancestors and company have to leave the Three Realms... Who can stop me in the Three Realms?

“You should know that I was born in the river of time and was born a perfected Great Dao existence. I’m best at my life-preservation skills,” said Yellowbeard. “No one beneath the Heavenly Dao realm can kill me.”

“You old loach!”

Qin Yun looked at him, his eyes filled with coldness. “Are you courting death?”

“Hahaha, you, try killing me?” Yellowbeard roared with laughter. “I have traded with various parties and the Fiend Ancestor as well. But who in the Three Realms can do a thing to me? Who can kill me?

“Qin Yun, if you’d just be obedient and compensate me, I shall let this matter rest,” Yellowbeard said. “If you don’t, I’ll eradicate your Qin family and mark my words I’ll do it! You should know... that at our realm, we definitely hold to our promises.”

“Scram!”

Qin Yun flicked his sleeve.

A terrifying force swept across Yellowbeard’s avatar, instantly reducing him to dust.

“Haha...”

However, there were remnants of Yellowbeard’s will on Mt. Lightning Roar’s mountaintop. He continued speaking, “It’s nothing impressive that you can destroy an avatar of mine. I’ll give you three months to consider it carefully! Do you want a Connate Cardinal treasure that isn’t of much benefit to you, or the lives of your Qin family. Your wife, Madam Qin, your daughter and son, Qin Yiyi and Meng Huan... All of them. Don’t worry, as long as they have the Qin family’s blood in them, I’ll definitely not forget them. Are you willing to let them die?

“Three months. I’ll give you three months to consider.”

The voice gradually dissipated from the mountaintop.

Qin Yun and Yi Xiao stood in their spots and their expressions looked somewhat ugly.

“Brother Yun,” asked Yi Xiao anxiously. “He said that no one can kill him beneath the Heavenly Dao realm. Was what he said real?”

“From the reports, probably.” Qin Yun nodded. “As long as he hides in the river of time, even those on the level of the Ancestral Dragon can’t hurt him. He still has nine other avatars hiding in the river of time! The destruction of an avatar just means he needs time to cultivate back to his peak.”

“Then, what should we do?” Yi Xiao asked.

Qin Yun’s eyes were shimmering with a cold glint. “I long guessed that those old bastards in the Three Realms were eyeing my treasures. But I never expected them to jump forward before my tribulation. Elder Yellowbeard? Nice, I’ll make an example of you to intimidate everyone!”

“How do you plan on killing him?” Yi Xiao asked.

“There are naturally ways to kill him! However, I need time to prepare!” Qin Yun narrowed his eyes that were effusing a cold glint.
