Stellar Transformation-Chapter 170 - 8 Qin Yu Returns - 7 Yan Rui, Deliver My Order
Figure after figure soared out of the buildings on their flying swords. More and more cultivators were gathering in the sky, and within the courtyard where Dongfang Nian, the Sect Master of the Chaoyang Sect, resided—where his son, Young Sect Master Dongfang Yu also lived—at this moment, Dongfang Yu, upon hearing Qin Yu’s voice, could not suppress his rage and was about to rush out and kill.
"Stop right there."
Dongfang Nian walked out of his house and coldly shouted.
Dongfang Yu immediately dared not take another step, instantly turning back and said anxiously, "Father, that bastard came from who knows where, and he dares to call me out by name in front of so many Cultivators, demanding to kill me. So arrogant and rampant, if I don’t go out and kill him, how can I face other Cultivators?"
Yet Dongfang Nian had a calm demeanor, "Reckless child, what do you know? A man who dares to call you out by name in front of so many Cultivators, do you think he could be a weakling? You are to stay right here, you must not go out."
"Father!" Dongfang Yu pleaded urgently.
"Dongfang Yu dies, or, everyone... dies!"
The thunderous final word from Qin Yu changed both Dongfang Yu and Dongfang Nian’s expressions. Dongfang Yu, who had enough confidence to confront the enemy, started to waver solely due to the Star Power contained in Qin Yu’s last word.
"You stay here, and you are not allowed to go anywhere else. With so many peers outside, even if the enemy is strong, he definitely cannot break in," ordered Dongfang Nian, who then calmly walked out and sent a command, "Yanyang, go quickly and summon True Master Yan Xu. Please ask him to take charge of the situation."
"Yes, Sect Master."
Yanyang, who was outside, immediately rushed off to True Master Yan Xu’s residence.
A slight cold smile appeared on Dongfang Nian’s face. With True Master Yan Xu’s support and thousands of Cultivators behind him, what should he fear? Dongfang Nian directly controlled his sword, stood with his hands folded on the blade, and openly soared through the sky, exhibiting the grandeur of a Sect Master.
"I am Dongfang Nian, Sect Master of Chaoyang Sect. I have no idea why Brother Dao would make such a grand entrance to our fellow Daoists’ residence. Are you aware that this place is where True Master Yan Xu of the Penglai Immortal Domain has summoned Cultivators? Regardless of whatever grudge my son has with you, by causing such a commotion here, on True Master Yan Xu’s territory, you are failing to show respect to the fellow Daoists here, and to True Master Yan Xu himself," Dongfang Nian loudly stated.
Dongfang Nian made his statement with a loud voice.
Qin Yu’s gaze swept over.
Standing with folded hands on his flying sword, Dongfang Nian’s long beard fluttered, and his Taoist robe billowed, which presented an immortal-like demeanor. In stark contrast, Qin Yu was suffused with killing intent, his black robe wide open and flying, the very image of a ferocious deity.
"Dongfang Nian..." Qin Yu stared at Dongfang Nian. "You are Dongfang Yu’s father. Not a bad speech, managing to awkwardly bring True Master Yan Xu into the matter. But today I must kill Dongfang Yu. Are you going to hand him over or not?"
Qin Yu had no idea who Dongfang Yu was. He had never seen Dongfang Yu and didn’t know his aura.
Even if he wanted to kill the present Dongfang Nian, Qin Yu would at least have to figure out who Dongfang Yu was; otherwise, if Dongfang Yu escaped, it would be a wasted effort.
"Haha..."
Dongfang Nian burst into laughter, looking up to the sky, "Fellow Daoist, after all I’ve said to you, you remain so arrogant. This place is where we Daoist friends reside, we’ve been summoned here by True Master Yan Xu’s edict. Yet, you cause a ruckus right outside our doorstep and demand that I surrender my son..."
Another elder in yellow robes also scolded, "You’re so arrogant alone; do you really think so little of all of us here?"
Qin Yu’s brows furrowed slightly.
"No more nonsense."
A glint of cold light flashed in Qin Yu’s eyes, "I’m just asking you, are you going to hand him over or not? Hand him over, and I will kill Dongfang Yu. If not... those who stand in my way shall die!" Qin Yu had no patience for wasting time with the group before him and laid down his final ultimatum.
"So arrogant alone. Do you really think you can do whatever you want in front of a thousand disciples of the Chaoyang Sect? Do you think you can do whatever you want in front of all these Daoist friends here?" Dongfang Nian replied with a cold smile. Yet in his heart, he wondered, "Eh, why hasn’t my nephew Yanyang returned with True Master Yan Xu? And even if we didn’t summon him, how could True Master Yan Xu not come to see what’s happening with such a commotion?"
Dongfang Nian didn’t know why True Master Yan Xu had not appeared, but at this moment, he wasn’t worried at all.
No matter how strong the opponent, it was only one person, after all.
"Gaga, big brother, don’t waste your words with them, just kill them all... This Marquis has not tasted blood in a long time," suddenly a booming voice resonated through the heavens. Hou Fei appeared beside Qin Yu, his black figure as if materialized from nothing.
At the same moment, Hei Yu appeared on Qin Yu’s other side.
Both Hou Fei and Hei Yu had been watching from the shadows and only showed themselves when they saw Qin Yu was ready to take action.
"Demon Cultivator..." Hei Yu and Hou Fei’s Demon Qi was detected in an instant.
Dongfang Nian’s anger surged, and he loudly said, "Fellow cultivators, these three people are actually Demon Cultivators! Thousands of us Cultivators have gathered here while three Demon Cultivators disregarded us so blatantly, declaring others should die, isn’t this bullying too much?"
"You lowly Demon Cultivators dare to make such a racket. Fellow Daoists, I, Xun Yangzi, am willing to take the lead and kill these three," a sharp-nosed Daoist exclaimed.
Just then, the sharp-nosed Daoist was the first to make a move, and the other Cultivators were also itching to act. Seeing this scene, Dongfang Nian couldn’t help but smile slightly.
"Bang!"
A shadow of a stick descended from the sky!
The sharp-nosed Daoist, who had reached the Nascent Soul Late Stage, was smashed into a bloody mess by that Black Stick without any resistance, his soul shredded by the Qi Force of the stick, and his Nascent Soul was captured in Hou Fei’s palm.
"Ga ga, a mere Nascent Soul Late Stage dares to be arrogant in front of Marquis Hou."
Hou Fei let out a loud, strange laugh, then with a fierce squeeze of his hand, he directly blew up the Nascent Soul in his palm, which caused no damage whatsoever to Hou Fei’s body.
Dumbfounded.
The Cultivators who were eager just now were all stunned, too strong.
In the Nascent Soul Late Stage, in some minor sects, this could be the strength of the sect’s top expert. Even in a large sect like the Chaoyang Sect, the top expert was only at the Early-stage Cave Void. The overall strength of Cultivators was somewhat stronger only in the core area of ’Penglai Immortal Domain’.
But Penglai Immortal Domain was too far from here, and the Cultivators who had arrived were all within millions of miles; the strongest among them was at the same level as Dongfang Nian.
"Whoosh whoosh~~~"
Like a fierce storm, countless breaking space sounds came from the edge of the sky—was it a rain of arrows? Perhaps in the eyes of Mortals. The present Cultivators determined that it was the sound of Cultivators flying with extreme speed through Sword Control.
A vast expanse, covering the sky and earth.
Dongfang Nian and a group of Cultivators watched the group of Demon Cultivators flying in the distance; they could not determine the number of enemies, but a simple look told them that there were more enemies than them and not by a small margin!
"Demon Cultivators, they are Demon Cultivators!" Cultivators began yelling out loud immediately.
All the Cultivators’ expressions dramatically changed. First, three Demon Cultivators appeared, and now a large group of Demon Cultivators has emerged; anyone with a bit of sense would connect them together
Like countless black lightnings, the Demon Cultivators landed on the ground in a disciplined manner, according to the formation arranged in ten large squads, with Yan Rui and the Four Great Guardians at the forefront.
"Greetings to the Pavilion Master."
Ten thousand Demon Cultivators knelt on one knee, with Yan Rui and the others bowing.
"Pavilion Master? Guard Army? Demon Cultivators? Ah, it’s the Star Pavilion!" The high-status Cultivators recognized it at once.
These Cultivators were from within millions of miles around. The area of the sea Qin Yu managed reached tens of millions of miles, meaning the waters beneath these sects were under Qin Yu’s control. The leaders of these sects naturally knew of this ’Star Pavilion’.
After all, in the world of Undersea Demon Cultivators, the one who had a Guard Army and was called ’Pavilion Master’ was none other than the Star Pavilion.
The Cultivators who had been brimming with fighting spirit just now were all trembling with fear. Oh heavens, what kind of force was the Star Pavilion? It was a force to match the Penglai Immortal Domain! To resist them was to invite the Pavilion Master’s command, upon which the Guard Army of the Star Pavilion would probably emerge from the depths of the sea, directly annihilating their sect and destroying their bases.
At this moment, Dongfang Nian also realized the dire situation, "The Star Pavilion, it’s actually the Star Pavilion. Then the waters below my Chaoyang Sect Island are managed by the Star Pavilion; with just one command from them, my Chaoyang Sect’s foundation would likely be destroyed." Dongfang Nian panicked and hurriedly said, "Honorable Pavilion Master..."
However, Qin Yu no longer had the patience to give him a chance.
"Kill all a thousand from the Chaoyang Sect, not sparing a single one, to comfort the spirit of my teacher in heaven," Qin Yu commanded with an order to slaughter.
"By the Pavilion Master’s command!"
Ten thousand Demon Cultivators marched systematically towards the Cultivator camp. The difference between an army and individual fighters lays in discipline. Clearly facing the densely packed Demon Cultivators coming at them, the Cultivators were panicked, some fleeing, some using Escape Techniques, and even when attacking, their methods varied from one to another—he used a Restriction, you used a Flying Sword, and another brought out a piece of Red Silk to whip...
The whole scene was pure chaos!
""""
"The first five squadrons, unleash the flying swords together!" shouted the captain of the first squadron.
In an instant, five thousand flying swords pierced through the air towards them. Since the cultivators were positioned one in front of another, those at the front faced an onslaught of flying swords. On average, each cultivator was attacked by dozens of swords. The outcome was inevitable—
Those with quick reflexes escaped by burrowing into the ground, while those too slow were impaled and turned into honeycombs.
And after a flying sword had pierced through one person, it continued shooting forward—
Remaining true to their path, the five thousand flying swords then plunged underground, striking down some of the cultivators who had attempted to flee, causing a succession of screams to rise again.
With just a single strike from the flying swords, more than half of Chaoyang Sect’s one thousand disciples perished. This scene left all cultivators dumbfounded. Even if they wanted to do the same, they couldn’t, because they could tell—
Not only a whole squadron but even a small team of about a hundred flying swords had trajectories that were incredibly ingenious, perfectly coordinated with one another. This was the result of years of training, and it was also related to the fact that each person’s flying sword was identical.
"The last five squadrons, unleash the Hand Palm Thunder!" came another command.
Having prepared for a long time and already on standby, the five thousand demon cultivators immediately cast Hand Palm Thunder. The spell wasn’t particularly powerful—it simply drew on the power of thunder and lightning through a restriction. A single Hand Palm Thunder wasn’t much, but what about five thousand?
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...
The sound of explosions erupted one after another—
******
Why hadn’t True Master Yan Xu appeared yet?
At this moment, at True Master Yan Xu’s residence.
True Masters Yan Xu, Huo Tian, and Di Feng were having tea and chatting with the Azure Dragon.
"Green Dragon Palace Master, you’ve set up restrictions around us to prevent eavesdropping and brought us here to chat. What exactly is the secret matter you wanted to discuss?" True Master Huo Tian was getting impatient. Not long ago, the Azure Dragon had come over, claiming they needed to discuss ’confidential matters’.
However, after sealing off the area with restrictions for so long, the Azure Dragon had merely been engaging in small talk with them.
Sometimes the conversation was about the Purple Sun Sect, then the Lanyang Sect, and then about the Tenglong Continent...
It was deep into the night, and the Azure Dragon had specifically come over and set up restrictions, all for the sake of chatting? But given the Azure Dragon’s high status, True Master Yan Xu, and True Masters Huo Tian and Di Feng, didn’t dare to treat him lightly.
The restrictions were set by the Azure Dragon; others couldn’t penetrate them with their spiritual sense, but the Azure Dragon’s own spiritual sense could.
"Hehe, the battle has started. Good, excellent, ah, wonderful. Alas, the cultivators are too weak; we demon cultivators are indeed stronger." The Azure Dragon chuckled to himself, yet on the surface, he smiled and said, "Yan Xu, do you still remember the battle we had hundreds of years ago? Recalling that battle, it truly was..."
True Master Yan Xu also furrowed his brows slightly.
In the dead of the night, setting up restrictions just to talk about these trivial matters?
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...
Suddenly, a powerful vibration shook the ground, causing the tea cups of the four individuals to tip over. Restrictions could block sound, but the vibrations from five thousand Hand Palm Thunders were too intense, almost like an earthquake.
"This is bad."
True Master Yan Xu hurriedly stood up, his expression grave, while True Masters Huo Tian and Di Feng also showed signs of alarm. They all glared at the Azure Dragon, knowing that something significant must have happened outside. The Azure Dragon had been there to detain them.
"Hahaha..." The Azure Dragon held his stomach, laughing heartily, "It’s hilarious, Yan Xu. Let me tell you, there’s fierce fighting outside. Oh dear, that poor lad, his Nascent Soul was pierced by a sword!" The Azure Dragon had been keeping watch over the battle outside through his spiritual sense all along.
Without further ado, True Masters Yan Xu, Huo Tian, and Di Feng dashed out, unleashing three flying swords simultaneously.
"Bang!" The flying swords shattered the restrictions.
Although set up by the Azure Dragon, when True Masters Yan Xu, Huo Tian, and Di Feng joined forces, and with full force at that, they naturally broke through in one strike. The three of them tore through space, rushing towards the direction of the battle. The Azure Dragon, on the other hand, swayed as he followed, humming, "I wonder if Teng Shan and the others have stirred up the waters even more? Amusing, way too amusing."
...
Three streaks of light flashed, one was golden, another the shadow of a black stick, and the last a black light. The ’black light’, transformed by Hei Yu, was eerie, instantly killing anyone it passed through. Just like that, one after another, Cultivators collapsed, falling prey to these three in just an instant, claiming the lives of over a hundred cultivators. Then the three streaks of light came to a halt, revealing themselves as Qin Yu, Hou Fei, and Hei Yu.
"Brother Teng Shan, that should be enough."
Qin Yu looked at Teng Shan and spoke indifferently.
Teng Shan and his two guardians giggled wickedly. Teng Shan said, "Master Qin Yu, those Cultivators are simply pitiful. I couldn’t stand it and just decided to teach them a lesson on your behalf." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
Qin Yu had only planned to kill the group from the Chaoyang Sect, but Teng Shan and the two great guardians under his command disguised themselves as Demon Cultivators from the Star Pavilion, slaughtering other sects’ cultivators. The whole scene turned into a mess, and the three brothers could only act swiftly to cut through the chaos.
In just a moment, more than half of the Cultivators were dead, totaling over two thousand.
Although a couple of months ago only two thousand Cultivators had arrived, as others steadily joined over the months, the number had almost reached four thousand. Now, with more than half dead, the Cultivators’ strength suffered a significant loss. Meanwhile, Qin Yu’s Demon Cultivators, thanks to their formations and mutual support, lost only a handful of their own. This was the difference between an army and scattered troops.
"Brother Teng Shan, Green Dragon Palace Master has not appeared for such a long time, he must have been held back by True Master Yan Xu," Qin Yu said with a light smile.
Seeing Teng Shan and the two great guardians, but no Azure Dragon, Qin Yu had already guessed the answer.
Teng Shan chuckled.
Qin Yu turned to look at Dongfang Nian, whose strength was sealed. Despite his situation, Dongfang Nian had a defiant look on his face. Seeing Qin Yu’s gaze, he said, "Why, why won’t you give me any hope?"
"Because... I don’t need you to tell me." Qin Yu walked over.
But Dongfang Nian said, "You want to kill my son, but why must you annihilate my Chaoyang Sect? As long as you promise not to destroy my Chaoyang Sect, I will immediately tell you where my son is, I beg you, please agree."
"No, I do not agree."
Qin Yu walked up to Dongfang Nian.
Suddenly, Qin Yu’s expression turned fierce, "Agree? You ask for my agreement, why didn’t your son show mercy when he killed my teacher? Your son even dared to break my father’s arm, and Uncle Feng’s arm out of disdain? Yes, your Chaoyang Sect is a great sect, and that Dongfang Yu holds a high position. My father’s status is low... My teacher’s life was worthless..."
Qin Yu’s murderous aura suddenly surged.
"To hell with it, Dongfang Nian, don’t dream any longer. When your son killed my teacher and crippled my father and uncle, even if your entire Chaoyang Sect were wiped out, it would not extinguish the hatred in my heart. The hatred in my heart!!!"
Qin Yu abruptly reached out with a claw, grabbing directly onto Dongfang Nian’s head.
"Ah~~~" Dongfang Nian screamed, his face turning as pale as dead bones.
Demon Secret Skill—Soul Search!
Qin Yu withdrew his hand and said calmly, "True Master Yan Xu, why not show yourself?" Qin Yu had long speculated that True Master Yan Xu should have broken free from the Azure Dragon’s restraint by now.
"Master Qin Yu, your grievance with Dongfang Yu for killing your teacher and crippling your father and uncle is indeed a deep-seated hatred, but you should spare those who can be spared, please let the Chaoyang Sect be," True Master Yan Xu appeared, with True Masters Huo Tian and Di Feng also looking at Qin Yu from behind.
Qin Yu gave a radiant smile to True Master Yan Xu.
"Yan Rui, pass my edict to Zhuang Zhong, order the Star Pavilion’s Guard Army to eradicate the Chaoyang Sect, and anyone who interferes should be killed without mercy," Qin Yu said. He could issue the order himself, but instead, he let Yan Rui do it, making his stance clearly known to True Master Yan Xu through his actions.
"As you command."
Yan Rui immediately took out a Communication Order.
"Master Qin Yu, you..." True Master Yan Xu’s expression changed.
"Haha, Brother Qin Yu, truly decisive, I admire you. Haha, I’ll stand by your side. You say to kill these cultivators, and I, Azure Dragon, will help you, haha..." The Azure Dragon, who had been watching the spectacle for a while, also emerged, laughing heartily as he walked to Qin Yu’s side.
