Stellar Transformation-Chapter 148: Episode 7: Allies Converge - 1: Estrangement
Qin Yu rode on his flying sword, like a golden beam of light, piercing through the currents, and headed straight toward the southwest.
"Green Dragon Palace, Bishui Mansion. Your scheming sounds quite impressive, but..." Qin Yu, riding the flying sword, his eyes flickering with intelligent light, "I am not as eager for safety as you think I am. If that’s the case, let’s make the scene even grander."
Once fused with the flying sword, Qin Yu’s speed could reach its extreme, even Di Long, the fastest of the seven surviving princes in the Nine Evil Hall, couldn’t compare, lagging behind by thirty to forty percent.
However, at this moment, Qin Yu’s speed was only slightly faster than that of Di Long.
Of course, that was intentional on Qin Yu’s part.
The seven Purple Evil Flood Dragons, raging with anger, shuttled through the seabed at an astonishing speed. At this time, Di Long and Di Jian, the strongest among them, did not wait for their brothers and led the flight, closely following Qin Yu.
Behind them were the three brothers, Di Yang, Di Xu, and Di Nai, all of whom were at the Mid Cave Void Stage, with comparable speeds. The two Purple Evil Flood Dragons at the back were Di Luan and Di Feng, who were the weakest at the early Cave Void Stage.
"Seven little bugs, really persistent. I wonder what expressions Teng Shan and Lou Ke will have when they see these seven little bugs following me to Black Stone Island?" A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Qin Yu’s eyes as he sped through the sea.
Behind him, bursts of furious roars echoed.
The death of Di Tong and the eighth Jade Sword were related to Qin Yu, how could these seven brothers let Qin Yu off the hook? What made them even more furious was that Qin Yu had managed to completely take away their Nine Evil Hall’s most important Treasure Hall.
The dragon eyes that emitted terrifying light pierced through the currents, the cold dragon scales faced no resistance, and their sharp claws made the underwater currents roar even louder.
"Haha, seven little bugs, come and follow if you dare."
Qin Yu’s loud shout echoed for hundreds of miles, filling the hearts of the seven brothers of the Nine Evil Hall with even more rage. And at this moment, with his laughter, Qin Yu suddenly flew straight upward, bursting through the sea surface in an instant and reaching the sky above the ocean.
Qin Yu looked at the azure sky and the clouds, feeling incredibly refreshed. It had been a long time since he had been above the sea.
"Qin Yu, don’t even think about escaping!"
A thunderous rumble sounded.
"Eh, these Purple Evil Flood Dragons can actually speak the human tongue in their true forms?" Qin Yu was quite surprised, as he knew that typically animals’ throats aren’t suited for human speech. How did these Purple Evil Flood Dragons manage to speak?
Qin Yu did not know that in the Undersea Demon Cultivator World, there was a mysterious technique called ’Abdominal Language,’ which relied on Demon Essence Power. This skill had nothing to do with the strength of Demon Essence Power; it was just extremely skillful, and only a few Demon Cultivators knew this technique.
Whish~~
The waves rolled up ten or so meters in an instant, and two huge Purple Evil Flood Dragons, each as thick as a water tank and over a hundred meters long, broke through the water almost at the same time, their glaring eyes full of endless fury and killing intent.
The purple scales, still dotted with droplets of water, sparkled under the sunlight.
The sight of Flood Dragons emerging from the sea was truly spectacular.
Qin Yu, alone like a golden meteor, headed straight toward the west, with the seven Purple Evil Flood Dragons closely following and trailing behind, their roars echoing continuously.
Though the Purple Evil Flood Dragons’ speed was somewhat reduced in the air, for Qin Yu, the sky was more suited for his flight. However, Qin Yu wanted to lead these seven Purple Evil Flood Dragons to Black Stone Island, so he was in no hurry at all.
...
Jinshan Island was a relatively ordinary Immortal Island in the Overseas Cultivation World. The island was not very large, with just a thousand li in length and width. There was a sect located on the island, aptly named ’Jinshan Sect,’ and the island itself was known as ’Jinshan Island’ because of this sect.
At this moment, dozens of disciples from Jinshan Sect were practicing their Sword Control Flight above the island.
"Junior brother, it’s your first time practicing Sword Control Flight, so be careful not to fly too high," a burly man with a tiger’s back and bear’s waist told another young man in green. The young man had delicate features, resembling a girl’s appearance.
"Yes, senior brother," replied the young man in green, trying hard to suppress his excitement as he controlled the flying sword and leaped onto it.
The green-clothed young man wobbled unsteadily, daring not to fly too fast nor too high. The senior brother watched on attentively, constantly providing tips for flight. After a moment, the performance of the young man in green stabilized somewhat.
All of a sudden—
"Whoosh!"
A golden meteor streaked across the sky, directly flying over Jinshan Island. The strong windforce bent the trees on the island.
"Ah!"
The green-clothed young man was startled by the gust of wind, letting out a cry of alarm as his body swayed, nearly falling. Reacting quickly, he once again controlled the flying sword and managed to steady himself. However, at that moment,
"Roar~~~"
The roar of a dragon that turned every Cultivator on Jinshan Island pale with shock reverberated overhead. Two Purple Evil Flood Dragons, each over a hundred meters long, flew across the sky chasing after the golden meteor. Moments later, three more Purple Evil Flood Dragons appeared, followed by another two.
Seven Purple Evil Flood Dragons crossing the sky in quick succession left the Cultivators on Jinshan Island pale with fear. The Sect Master of Jinshan Sect had already emerged, gazing in horror at the golden meteor and the seven Purple Evil Flood Dragons.
"Sect Master Brother, could this be?" an elderly man at his side also started in shock.
"Yes, Purple Evil Flood Dragons. In the Undersea Demon Cultivator World, only the nine experts of Nine Evil Hall are comparable. Each one of them is in the Cave Void Realm, with such formidable strength that even a Kongming Stage expert would struggle to deal with them," the Sect Master said gravely.
"Seven from the Nine Evil Hall appeared at once, chasing that golden meteor. But who could that fellow Daoist be?" murmured the Sect Master.
After all, even the most skilled member of Jinshan Sect was only at the Nascent Soul Late Stage, hardly comparable to a force like Nine Evil Hall. Di Jian and Di Long of the Late-stage Cave Void were absolutely on par with those in the Kongming Stage.
"Don’t just stand there gazing. Super experts of that level are beyond your imagination. Quiet down and focus on your Cultivation," the Sect Master of Jinshan Sect ordered his disciples.
Compared to such mighty experts, an ordinary sect like Jinshan Sect was hardly worth mentioning.
...
Qin Yu, while flying, was also enduring the intense pain in his shoulder. His flesh on the shoulder had been separated and bones shattered by a punch from Di Nai. Such a grave injury was excruciatingly painful, but Qin Yu’s face always bore a faint smile, though the corners of his eyes occasionally trembled slightly.
After nearly half a day’s flight, Qin Yu finally saw Black Stone Island in the distance. At that moment, only faint scars were visible on Qin Yu’s shoulder.
The blood-red robe billowed in the wind as the cold and unyielding Teng Shan stood atop a rock, gazing at the approaching Qin Yu, who was like a golden meteor. A smile suddenly appeared on his face, while beside him, Lou Ke also stood shoulder to shoulder, watching Qin Yu fly towards them.
"Brother Qin Yu."
Teng Shan called out loudly.
"Lord Teng, Lord Lou, I was wounded by those seven little bugs, I’m begging you both to save me." Qin Yu, clutching his shoulder, cried out as he flew straight into Black Stone Island, immediately standing behind Teng Shan and Lou Ke.
Qin Yu also took out a Communication Order: "Feifei, I’m on an island more than two hundred thousand miles southwest of the Nine Evil Hall, above the sea’s surface, covered in black stones. Hurry over."
"Gaga, I’ll be there soon!"
After communicating with Hou Fei, Qin Yu casually watched how Teng Shan and Lou Ke would face the furiously raging seven princes of Nine Evil Hall.
Teng Shan and Lou Ke couldn’t help but show a bitter smile on their faces as they saw the seven Purple Evil Flood Dragons flying towards them one after another.
"Stop."
Teng Shan and Lou Ke called out simultaneously.
Representing Green Dragon Palace, Teng Shan, and representing Bishui Mansion, Lou Ke, their voices carried authority. Even Di Long dared not pretend not to hear. After all, in terms of real strength, Nine Evil Hall was slightly weaker than Green Dragon Palace and Bishui Mansion.
With a flash of light, the seven flood dragons instantly transformed into seven men in purple robes, with the lead being none other than Di Long.
"Teng Shan, Lou Ke, what is the meaning of this?" Di Long immediately shouted angrily at Teng Shan and Lou Ke, his six brothers standing behind him also displaying faces full of rage. At this moment, they had to capture Qin Yu no matter what, yet Teng Shan and Lou Ke were actually blocking their way.
Teng Shan coughed lightly and said, "Di Long, there’s no need to be angry. It seems that Qin Yu doesn’t have any major grudge with your Nine Evil Hall. The death of Di Tong isn’t necessarily related to Qin Yu, right? As such, Prince Di Long, please give Green Dragon Palace some face and let Qin Yu off this time."
Lou Ke also said, "Di Long, my Bishui Mansion..."
"Shut up!"
Di Long erupted with a shout, his facial muscles trembling and a sharp cold light in his eyes, clearly extremely angry: "No major grudge? What do you know? That Qin Yu actually dared to rob our Nine Evil Hall’s Treasure Hall!"
"Just the Treasure Hall, the Treasure Hall, you said what!!!" Lou Ke’s face changed as well.
If there was one thing in Nine Evil Hall that could make other major powers in the Overseas Cultivation World envious, it was exactly that Treasure Hall.
"You jest, Prince Di Long, you must be joking. The sheer size of the Treasure Hall is well-known. As far as I’m aware, there isn’t a Space Ring in the Overseas Cultivation World big enough to contain the Treasure Hall, and if we’re talking about carrying it away by hand, not to mention the tremendous strength required, just look at Qin Yu who came here empty-handed, he couldn’t have taken your Treasure Hall," Teng Shan said.
Di Jian replied with an icy tone, "If you don’t believe me, you can ask Qin Yu himself whether he took our Nine Evil Hall’s Treasure Hall or not."
"Impossible."
Lou Ke mouthed the word ’impossible,’ but still turned to look back at Qin Yu, "Brother Qin Yu, just speak up, don’t be afraid of their Nine Evil Hall’s slander, my Bishui Mansion and Green Dragon Palace have got your back," Lou Ke said with a spirited air.
Qin Yu’s face showed a hint of an embarrassed smile.
Teng Shan asked in disbelief, "You couldn’t possibly... have a Space Ring capable of holding the ’Treasure Hall,’ could you?"
Di Long, Di Jian, and the other five brothers were all looking at Qin Yu with cold disdain.
"This... indeed, I did take from his Treasure Hall," Qin Yu finally admitted.
Teng Shan and Lou Ke’s eyes widened in shock as they looked at Qin Yu, while the protectors of the Green Dragon Palace behind Teng Shan, as well as those of the Bishui Mansion behind Lou Ke, were also staring at Qin Yu in horror.
He had stolen from the Nine Evil Hall’s Treasure Hall.
This feat alone, akin to a miracle, was enough to make Qin Yu’s name known throughout the entire Overseas Cultivation World.
"Di Long!"
Qin Yu suddenly glared at Di Long with a face full of anger and demanded, "You say I took your Treasure Hall, and I admit it, but I want to ask you, were you planning to let Guardian Jing Zhe simply devour me and try to seize my memories? Do you dare to tell the truth?"
Di Long’s brows furrowed, but he still firmly admitted, "Yes, I acknowledge it."
Qin Yu’s face was icy, filled with killing intent, "Hmph, you wanted to kill me, even to seize my memories. If I had not had a clever way to escape, I would probably already be dead by now. I have followed your three Highnesses for nearly a year, from Red Blood Cave Mansion to Nine Evil Hall, and I never once fled. I have been loyal to you, Your Highness, and how have you treated me? You wanted to kill me! You want to murder me, and yet what does it matter that I took your Treasure Hall?"
Qin Yu’s rage soared to the heavens, "The Treasure Hall may be precious, but it’s still an external possession. What does it compare to life? You wanted to kill me, so was I not justified in taking your Treasure Hall?"
"Who do you think you are?" Di Long looked down on Qin Yu, "You are merely the Cave Master of the Red Blood Cave Mansion. For me to kill you is already a great honor for you, and yet not only do you not feel grateful, but you also took my Treasure Hall. You are courting death."
Qin Yu looked at Di Long and shook his head, "Prince Di Long, I originally thought you might be a hero. Now, you’re nothing more than a bear. You regard me so lightly, why should I then respect you?"
Qin Yu’s eyes were cold as frost as he stared at Di Long and said, "Di Long, in truth, for me to take your Treasure Hall is a great honor for you given my Master’s status. Instead of being grateful, you pursued and tried to kill me. You are the one courting death."
Just now, Di Long had stated that it was Qin Yu’s honor to be killed by him. Now, Qin Yu had countered with equal force, refusing to back down, which caused the seven Princes to tremble with rage, their faces turning purple with fury.
"Listen to me, from this day forward, the Red Blood Cave Mansion will no longer heed the Nine Evil Hall’s orders. Your Nine Evil Hall is your Nine Evil Hall, and my Red Blood Cave Mansion is my Red Blood Cave Mansion; there is not the slightest relation. If you the dare to interfere, I will cut off your hands and feet!" Qin Yu said with a cold laugh.
Then Qin Yu turned to Teng Shan and Lou Ke, and added, "Lords Teng Shan and Lou Ke. If the two of you could repel these seven little insects, not only will I disclose everything about the eighth Jade Sword, but I will also hand over the Treasure Hall with both hands!"
Teng Shan and Lou Ke’s eyes lit up, and the allure of the Treasure Hall was even greater compared to the eighth Jade Sword.
Qin Yu immediately turned back to Di Long and the others, shouting furiously, "A man fights for his breath; I, Qin Yu, would not swallow this indignity, even without the Treasure Hall. Di Long, you seven listen well, from today, I, Qin Yu, am truly at odds with you!"
Di Long, furious with Qin Yu’s consecutive statements, and all seven Princes, wanted to tear Qin Yu apart.
"Qin Yu, you will die!" Di Long was the first ready to make a move.
Teng Shan and Lou Ke exchanged a glance, having made up their minds. Teng Shan immediately spoke up, "Prince Di Long, stop!" Hearing Teng Shan’s voice, a slight smile appeared on Qin Yu’s face. (End of Chapter One, there will be a second Chapter today, might be a bit late!)
