Chapter 135: 6 episodes 9Sha Hall 4 episodes Qingxuan Ancestor (Chapter 2!)

"The Qingxuan Turtle? Zhuang Zhong, you tell me, what’s the story with that guy? As far as this Marquis is concerned, that rumor is definitely linked with that so-called Qingxuan Turtle," Hou Fei slammed down his cup, eyes flashing with golden light as he spoke in a rage.

Hou Fei couldn’t bear the indignity; after all, he was the Second Cave Master of the Red Blood Cave Mansion. How could he allow someone else to usurp his position?

Qin Yu and Hei Yu both looked at Zhuang Zhong, waiting for him to answer; Qin Yu really knew nothing about this Qingxuan Turtle.

Zhuang Zhong respectfully said, "Third Cave Masters, this Qingxuan Turtle is truly a formidable expert. Back in the day, who would control these eight million miles of waters was uncertain, Cha Hong and the Qingxuan Turtle did battle over it. In the end, Cha Hong was slightly superior, but since the Qingxuan Turtle’s true form is that of an old turtle with extremely strong defenses, Cha Hong wasn’t able to kill the Qingxuan Turtle. Now that Cha Hong is dead, the Qingxuan Turtle is sure to make a comeback."

Qin Yu nodded slightly.

Hou Fei blinked twice and let out a strange laugh, "Gaga, an old turtle that even Cha Hong couldn’t defeat, still dreams of becoming the Cave Master, what a laugh! This Marquis will just smash his turtle shell with a single strike, hhmph."

A cold light flashed in Qin Yu’s eyes as well, "Zhuang Zhong, as far as I know, now that I occupy the position of Cave Master, quite a few who cultivate as demons under the Red Blood Cave Mansion don’t think much of me, right?" Qin Yu indeed didn’t have much of a reputation within the eight million miles of waters controlled by the Red Blood Cave Mansion; ordinary people naturally wouldn’t revere him.

Zhuang Zhong with a voice of respect said, "Those people don’t know the Cave Master’s might. If they knew, they definitely wouldn’t dare to act like this."

"Don’t know?" Qin Yu smiled, "That Qingxuan Turtle lives in unrest, and he still wants to come out and compete for the position? Doesn’t he know that in the Cultivation World, insufficient strength means death? Good, this will give me a chance to establish my authority."

Qin Yu waved his hand, "Alright, there’s no need to inform me about those petty figures causing trouble. When the Qingxuan Turtle appears, let me know. You may leave now."

"Yes, Cave Master."

Zhuang Zhong immediately responded with respect, then left directly.

Hei Yu had been silent from beginning to end because once he heard from Zhuang Zhong that the strength of the Qingxuan Turtle was close to that of Cha Hong, he didn’t care anymore.

At this moment, in the minds of the three brothers, Qin Yu, Hou Fei, and Hei Yu, ordinary figures no longer posed a threat to them. Their greatest enemy now was the remaining eight Purple Evil Flood Dragons from the Nine Evil Hall.

"Little Black, you go and start refining your Nascent Soul in seclusion. Our life for a while is going to be much more interesting. If you’re too weak, you won’t qualify to participate in that grand event." A smile played at the corners of Qin Yu’s mouth, with a trace of fierceness flashing in his eyes.

The Qin Family’s three brothers, whether it be General Qin Feng, the current Emperor Qin Zheng, or when it came to ruthlessness, they showed no mercy.

Qin Yu also had his predictions about the future situations. He always considered the worst scenarios. Having taken into account the worst possibilities, what was there for Qin Yu to fear? Now, neither he, Hei Yu, nor Hou Fei were weak, not soft persimmons to be kneaded at will.

"If anyone tries to knead us three brothers at will, they should beware of their hands being severed." Qin Yu looked towards the outside of the building.

Next to the fake mountain in the Red Blood Cave Mansion Northern District, Qin Yu was standing aloft in the air.

With a wave of his hand, a pavilion appeared out of nowhere; it was the ’Thunder Mountain Residence’ that Lei Wei had constructed before. Qin Yu walked through the void and stepped into the Thunder Mountain Residence. As he entered, a huge pool appeared before him.

Circling the pool, Qin Yu walked into the living room on the first floor.

"The Martial Arts Hall." Looking at the Martial Arts Hall, Qin Yu had a slight smile on his lips as he recalled the past. In order to protect his father the king, Qin Yu had perished together with Wu Xing and then been transported here, waking up in the Martial Arts Hall.

Suddenly, the living room bloomed with bunches of beautiful flowers, and in the middle of the flowers lay a small kitten.

"Welcome, Master." Little Star said, swishing its cat tail.

Qin Yu smiled. "Little Star, did you feel lonely while I was gone?" Even though Qin Yu understood from the books left by Lei Wei, which explained about civilization, that Little Star was artificial intelligence, he still couldn’t help but treat Little Star as a living creature.

Little Star blinked its cat eyes twice and asked, "Lonely? What does lonely mean?"

Qin Yu paused for a moment, then remembered that Little Star wasn’t a living being and couldn’t sense human emotions. He smiled involuntarily and glanced around, his eyes quickly falling on the door to the storage room. Seeing the storage room made Qin Yu feel helpless.

The storage room was as large as the practice room, and astonishingly, it was filled with top-grade crystal stones for more than half its space.

Arriving at the door to the storage room, Qin Yu willed it, and the door opened automatically. He looked inside and saw a huge pile of minerals of various colors that filled more than half of the storage room, with at least tens of thousands of units. And every single one was a top-grade crystal stone.

Blue, red, green, gold, silver, black...

The gleam from the blocks of crystal stones emitted an enticing halo, and Qin Yu could feel their overwhelming aura. Such a treasure trove had been amassed by Lei Wei only after adventuring countless places.

So many top-grade crystal stones — perhaps not even a powerhouse like Bishui Mansion or Green Dragon Palace had as many. After all, possession of top-grade crystal stones meant one could refine them into top-grade spiritual artifacts. However, Qin Yu was unable to take any of these crystal stones.

"The old master had to place a restriction, saying that only when one reached the Star Core Stage could it be opened. I am now in the late-stage Meteor, and I must overcome the Sixty-nine Heavenly Tribulations to reach the Star Core Stage," said Qin Yu with an involuntary wry smile on his lips.

After leaving the storage room, Qin Yu walked toward the back. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The alchemy room and the artifact refining room appeared before his eyes. Back in the Primordial Wilderness, Qin Yu had forged his own spiritual artifact in the artifact refining room. However, when he killed Di Tong, his Flame Sword was destroyed, and one of his Flame Burning Gloves was also ruined.

"This time, I’m going to refine a top-grade spiritual artifact."

Qin Yu flipped his hand, and five top-grade crystal stones appeared. Where did these crystal stones come from? They were from the space ring of the deceased Di Tong. Generally, treasures were kept in the Treasure Hall by the brothers of the Nine Evil Hall, but such precious items as top-grade crystal stones were always carried on one’s person.

"The Flame Burning Gloves require very few top-grade crystal stones; two would be enough. As for the Flame Sword... I can refine that spear again," Qin Yu thought, not wanting to waste resources. Di Tong’s spear was also a top-grade spiritual artifact, but Qin Yu wasn’t ready to use it openly, as that would be like telling everyone that he was the one who had killed Di Tong.

Stepping into the artifact refining room, the metallic door closed automatically.

Sitting cross-legged on a cushion, Qin Yu pointed with a single hand, and a deep azure flame flew into the center of the Furnace of Eight Trigrams in the artifact refining room, causing the flames in the furnace to surge intensely. Simultaneously, a long spear floated over the furnace; this spear was the top-grade spiritual artifact.

"Heavenly Gate, Eight Trigrams, activate!"

Qin Yu uttered a low shout, shooting several golden beams from his fingers into several holes on the edge of the Furnace of Eight Trigrams. The corresponding talisman imprints immediately lit up, and the light inside the furnace became much more dazzling.

True Star Fire within True Sun Fire!

The spear began to melt slowly, and impurities were being refined away under the scorching True Sun Fire, reducing its volume continuously.

...

Seven days later, Qin Yu finally succeeded in completely refining his spiritual artifact. The top-grade spiritual artifact long spear was transformed into a short sword, which he still named ’Flame Sword’. Qin Yu’s refining method was evidently more sophisticated than Nine Evil Hall’s.

The volume of the spear was significantly reduced, and the impurities were completely refined away, making the Flame Sword, though still a top-grade spiritual artifact, even sharper. Its surface was further enhanced by the incorporation of purple gold liquid that formed talisman restrictions.

The entire short sword was a dark cyan color, with purple gold imprints on the surface of the blade. The purple gold liquid indeed made excellent material for arranging talisman imprints, and the power of the Flame Sword was much stronger than Qin Yu had anticipated.

A pair of Flame Burning Gloves, material: two blocks of top-grade crystal stones. These Flame Burning Gloves were incredibly thin, fitting over the knuckles like a second skin, yet their power was significantly greater than the previous upper-grade spiritual artifact level Flame Burning Gloves.

After refining the spiritual artifact, Qin Yu quietly read books on the balcony of the study room, while continuously cultivating within his body.

...

On the balcony of the study room on the second floor of Thunder Mountain Residence, Qin Yu reclined on a lounge chair, reading many secret books about the mysteries of the Cultivation World left behind by Lei Wei.

From this balcony, Qin Yu could see the guard team patrolling in the distance.

"Reporting to Cave Master, in the Red Blood Territory, someone is fanning the flames in secret. Many demon cultivators have begun to brazenly discuss the Cave Master. They clearly disdain the Cave Master, and many demon cultivators believe that the Cave Master should be the Qingxuan Turtle," Zhuang Zhong conveyed from outside Thunder Mountain Residence.

Looking at the ancient books in his hands, Qin Yu didn’t even glance toward Zhuang Zhong. He said indifferently, "No need to fuss, just notify me when the Qingxuan Turtle shows up."

While all the protectors were anxious, Qin Yu remained as stable as Mount Tai, quietly reading ancient books on the balcony.

Zhuang Zhong, looking at the ’Thunder Mountain Residence’ before him, marveled inwardly, "Where did the Cave Master get this building from? It appeared out of nowhere. Even though the gates of Thunder Mountain Residence are open, except for the Second and Third Cave Masters, outsiders can’t enter at all. It’s truly wondrous."

Thunder Mountain Residence naturally could discern who approached. Besides the three of them, Qin Yu, outsiders couldn’t enter at all.

...

As the days went by, tens of thousands of demon cultivators in the Red Blood Territory privately discussed the new Cave Master. Coupled with rumors deliberately spread by the Qingxuan Ancestor, most demon cultivators looked down upon the new Cave Master.

At that moment, at the entrance of the Red Blood Cave Mansion, a man in white approached.

"For your Cave Master," the man in white tossed a jade scroll to the gatekeeper, then spoke arrogantly, "My ancestor says that the Nine Evil Hall has decreed the new Cave Master should be my ancestor. That ’Liu Xing,’ if he knows what’s good for him, will step down willingly and early. Otherwise, it’s not going to be pretty if lives are lost in a major conflict."

After saying that, the man in white turned around and transformed into a streak of light before departing.

The guard holding the jade scroll was still in a daze, taking a moment to come to his senses.

Filled with alarm, the guard thought, "This is bad news. The Qingxuan Ancestor has come to kill. My brothers were right, the Qingxuan Ancestor is definitely coming for the position of Cave Master, and it’s about to happen now. I wonder if the Cave Master can handle him."

Although the guard had heard that Qin Yu was able to defeat Guardian Teng Bi, he hadn’t seen it himself. Moreover, the Qingxuan Ancestor was far stronger than Guardian Teng Bi.

...

In just a short while, the jade scroll made its way to Qin Yu’s hands.

Reclining on the lounge chair, Qin Yu held an ancient book in one hand and the jade scroll in the other. His Spiritual Sense swept over it, and he laughed.

A battle letter!

It was indeed a battle letter from the Qingxuan Ancestor. The Qingxuan Ancestor considered himself a master of the same caliber as Cha Hong and thought that Qin Yu, being one of Cha Hong’s protectors, surely couldn’t be as skilled as Cha Hong. If less skilled than Cha Hong, the Qingxuan Ancestor was confident he could kill Qin Yu.

"Liu Xing, junior.

I am Ancestor Qingxuan. In the past, I had some ties with your family’s former Cave Master, Cha Hong, which you must have heard of. Back then, I was momentarily careless and was slightly outdone. After diligently cultivating for hundreds of years, I was preparing to seek out Cha Hong for another battle, but to my surprise, he just died like that, which I suppose was his good luck.

Be that as it may, it’s better this way. Just cede the position of Cave Master directly to me, junior, and I won’t bother quibbling with someone like you. Should you refuse, I’ll simply use True Fire to refine you to death, letting your soul scatter to the winds.

Take your time and think it over.

I’m not afraid to tell you that Nine Evil Hall has appointed me as the Cave Master. Ancestor didn’t deceive you, and furthermore, I have no interest in lying to a junior like you. Three days from now, I will arrive at the Red Blood Cave Mansion. Whether you live or die will depend on the choice you make at that time!

Ancestor Qingxuan’s message."

Looking at the jade scroll, Qin Yu couldn’t help but laugh. A deep cyan flame burst forth from his hand, directly incinerating the jade scroll into ash.

"Overestimating oneself!"

Qin Yu made his judgment lightheartedly and without anger, continuing to read the ancient book in his hands.

Three days later.

An impressive procession of thousands of demon cultivators, with followers in the front and rear, carried a sedan with an old man reclining on it. His hair, swaying like green flames, was combed by his forefinger and middle finger pinching at his long eyebrows. His half-closed eyes occasionally shot out a cold glint.

A large number of demon cultivators from the Red Blood Territory watched from a distance, the older demon cultivators among them all familiar with the great name of Ancestor Qingxuan. They were all well aware of Ancestor Qingxuan’s fearsome reputation, and Qin Yu, who had once been a protector under Cha Hong, was surely no match for Ancestor Qingxuan, who was on a completely different level.

A large group of demon cultivators stood suspended in the air before the Red Blood Cave Mansion and then turned their heads uniformly to look towards the grand troop of Ancestor Qingxuan. Leading this group of demon cultivators was a white-clothed man named ’Bai Yan’.

"Paying respects to Ancestor!" Bai Yan knelt down on one knee and spoke respectfully.

"Paying respects to Ancestor!" Behind Bai Yan, nearly a thousand demon cultivators also knelt on one knee, many of whom had once followed Bai Yan to the Red Blood Territory to sway other demon cultivators. It was they who had now persuaded many demon cultivators in the territory to stand with Ancestor Qingxuan.

Reclining on the sedan, Ancestor Qingxuan opened his eyes and scanned the Red Blood Cave Mansion.

"Liu Xing, junior, will you not come forth and greet your Ancestor?"

Ancestor Qingxuan’s hearty voice immediately resounded throughout the Red Blood Cave Mansion. The power contained within that voice caused the color to drain from the faces of the Red Blood Cave Mansion’s guards and filled Ancestor Qingxuan’s demon cultivators with arrogance.

As Qin Yu quietly read in Thunder Mountain Residence, upon hearing that voice, he couldn’t help but laugh.

"Oh? That old turtle has arrived. I’ll indulge him with a bit of play." Putting down his book, Qin Yu’s figure vanished from Thunder Mountain Residence.

(Chapter two ends. I’ve just looked at the monthly ticket rankings, currently in seventh place, which tastes a bit bitter for Fang Qie, as my new book surged to first and second place last month. Although I’m aware that the first dozen or so Chapters of volume five weren’t written to everyone’s liking, resulting in the loss of quite a few readers. Anyway, if you have monthly tickets, help smash them, but if not, it’s alright. What matters is the quality of the book. Fang Qie will keep the promise. Sixteen thousand words will be delivered today!)
