Chapter 268: Volume 11, Chapter 26: The Super Divine Beast with the Strongest Military Force

Qin Yu, however, felt a headache coming on, as Feifei was still just as stubborn and unruly. The expert before them was obviously very strong, and even if all three of them joined forces, they weren’t sure they could win, yet Hou Fei remained so arrogant. However, Qin Yu didn’t say much.

After all... he still had the Qingyu Immortal Mansion.

Man Qian looked at Hou Fei with a cold face, while Hou Fei stared back at Man Qian, not giving an inch.

"Good, good, indeed there is pride, truly fitting for a Fire-Eyed Water Ape," Man Qian suddenly burst out laughing.

Hou Fei, Qin Yu, and Hei Yu were all taken aback. Not many in the Mortal World could recognize Hou Fei’s true identity, yet Man Qian had called it out effortlessly. And now, a Restriction had appeared around everyone, preventing the outside world’s mortals from hearing their conversation.

Qin Yu stood up and smiled, "Brother Man Qian, let me introduce you. This is my second brother, Hou Fei; he’s defiant and unyielding, so Brother Man Qian, you need not take it to heart. This is my third brother, Hei Yu, his temperament... even colder than my second brother’s."

"Oh?"

Man Qian’s eyes lit up, looking at Hei Yu with surprise. He looked at Hei Yu for a good while, becoming puzzled: "A divine bird? When did your type of divine beast appear within the avian class? Are you perhaps a mutant variety?"

"Don’t know," Hei Yu squeezed out three words.

Man Qian smiled, "That is quite interesting."

Man Qian suddenly turned to Qin Yu and laughed, "You’re a human, aren’t you? A human actually becoming the ’big brother’ to a Fire-Eyed Water Ape and a divine beast even I cannot see through is truly surprising to me."

"I am Qin Yu, just a Cultivator," Qin Yu said with a smile.

Man Qian nodded, glanced at Shi Xin and the other four Spiritual Beasts, then said to Qin Yu, "Brother Qin Yu, I really admire you, being able to have four divine beasts willingly serve as Spiritual Beasts. But four intermediate divine beasts getting along with Hou Fei, they must have gotten a good Cultivation Method, which is fortunate for them."

Man Qian was obviously aware of the level of divine beast that Hou Fei was.

"You normally use Communication Orders, right? Give me yours, so if there’s any trouble in the future, you can contact me. I think... most issues in the Mortal World, I should be able to resolve," Man Qian said with a sincere smile.

Qin Yu was also surprised in his heart.

Truth be told, although this burly, dark-skinned man gave off a solid aura and looked terrifying with a stern expression, when he smiled, he exuded a trustworthy feeling.

"A natural-born leader," Qin Yu concluded in his heart.

Coldness, inducing fear. Smiling, evoking an involuntary trust.

Such a person was someone Qin Yu was seeing for the first time.

Even Hou Fei or Hei Yu belonged to the more solitary types.

Qin Yu was, of course, happy to make friends, and promptly left an imprint of his Spiritual Sense with Man Qian.

"Brother Qin Yu, Hou Fei, Hei Yu, I currently have important things to attend to in the Tenglong Continent, so this will be a temporary farewell. If there’s an opportunity, you can find me using the Communication Order," Man Qian said to the three of them. At the same time, Man Qian also lifted the surrounding Restriction.

Qin Yu immediately stood up and said, "If there’s a chance, we will certainly meet again, Brother Man Qian." Hou Fei and Hei Yu also stood up, feeling that this dark-skinned giant was indeed worthy of acquaintance.

"I’ll take my leave."

Man Qian bowed with his hands clasped, then in two or three steps left the tavern, vanishing from everyone’s sight. It wasn’t clear whether it was Instantaneous Movement or some other Divine Skill he had used.

"I never expected to encounter such an unfathomable master in the Hidden Dragon Continent," Qin Yu sighed inwardly.

"Master, what did that man just say to you?" Mo Qilin transmitted his voice, while the Shi Xin brothers also looked over in confusion.

Because Man Qian had used a restriction, the conversation between Man Qian and the three Qin Yus went unheard by the four Divine Beasts, including Shi Xin.

"It’s nothing. Alright, prepare to return to the Prince Mansion," Qin Yu said indifferently, and the four Divine Beasts did not pursue the matter further.

Subsequently, everyone returned to the Yu Royal Mansion.

Several days after Qin Yu left the tavern, a person arrived at the Yinyue Mountain Range— it was Man Qian.

"A gathering place for Independent Demons, huh? There are three Sky-breaking Maps; the Dragon Clan has one, and the Independent Demons here have another. The last one can’t even be located. While it wouldn’t be difficult to deal with the Dragon Clan’s envoy and the clan patriarch who possesses a Top-Grade Demon Artifact, it would still be quite troublesome. The Independent Demons here seem much simpler."

Man Qian gazed at the vast Yinyue Mountain Range and calculated quietly in his mind.

The Yinyue Mountain Range was home to tens of thousands of Independent Demons, with hundreds of thousands of ordinary Demon Cultivators from various Cultivating Demon Sects. Now with Blood Demon Du Zhongjun stationed here, the spine of the entire Independent Demon faction had stiffened considerably.

In just a couple of steps, Man Qian had already reached the vicinity of the Yin Yue Palace.

"Who goes there?" a guard Independent Demon from the outer perimeter of the Yin Yue Palace shouted.

Man Qian simply glanced at the guard with a faint look, his purple pupils swirling with light. Instantly, the expression on the guard’s face froze. As if walking through his own backyard, Man Qian entered the Yin Yue Palace directly.

It took the guard a good while to come to his senses: "What just happened, did I doze off? Can an Independent Demon actually fall asleep?" No matter how hard he thought, the guard couldn’t recall what had just occurred.

Meanwhile, Man Qian advanced with ease.

Many of the Independent Demons along the way greeted Man Qian, mistaking him for some high-level master of the Demon Path.

Only a few guards questioned Man Qian, but upon receiving a mere glance from him, they let him pass submissively as if they had lost their souls. Just like that... Man Qian directly reached the core palace of the current Yin Yue Palace—the Blood Demon Palace.

"Blood Demon Palace? A mere First Level Demon King dares to call himself ’Blood Demon’. That’s just playing tough in the Mortal World," Man Qian said with a light laugh, standing outside the Blood Demon Palace.

Although Man Qian’s voice wasn’t loud, all the experts around and inside the Blood Demon Palace, including the Demon World Envoy—Blood Demon Du Zhongjun in the palace itself—heard it clearly.

"How dare someone be so insolent outside the Blood Demon Palace!"

With an angry shout, a blood-red light shot towards Man Qian.

"A Twelfth Tribulation Independent Demon," Man Qian shook his head and smiled, "Scram."

With a wave of his hand.

A single wave of his hand saw Wu Kongxue, who had received a Top-Grade Demon Artifact and had his strength greatly increased, vomiting blood. He crashed powerlessly against the Blood Demon Palace before falling to the ground. Those who hurried over to take action, like Lady Lian Yue and Wu Hei, were so frightened that they dared not move an inch.

My heavens, even Wu Kongxue, whose power had increased several times, was not the match of a single move; the person before them was excessively powerful.

"Who’s making a racket outside, seeking death?"

The brutal voice of Blood Demon Du Zhongjun rose, and a blood-red light appeared out of nowhere, outside the grand hall of the Blood Demon Palace.

The Blood Demon Du Zhongjun, who had been living luxuriously these days, was flattered by countless Independent Demons. Naturally, he had acquired an air of a superior being. The Blood Demon Du Zhongjun’s fierce eyes emitted a red glow as he looked toward the dark-skinned man speaking arrogantly outside the Blood Demon Palace.

"You are... Man Qian? Man Qian, it’s actually you." Du Zhongjun was greatly surprised.

"Oh, I thought who the Demon World would send, it turns out to be you. No wonder, there are only so many elites among the First Level Demon Kings in the Demon World, you are considered quite good." There was a slight smile on Man Qian’s face.

Du Zhongjun narrowed his eyes, "I didn’t expect that the Beast Clan of the Demon World would be willing to send you out, aren’t they worried that you might die in the Ni Yang Realm? If you died, it would be a huge blow to the Beast Clan."

"Without strength, no one else can be blamed for one’s death." Man Qian said indifferently.

"Indeed, the Super Divine Beast known for the strongest power, the Purple-eyed Bull Demon King, among the super divine beasts of the Beast Clan, it seems that only the Purple-eyed Bull Demon King is born with the power to command. To let you descend to the mortal plane... that really is quite the generous gesture." The Blood Demon Du Zhongjun couldn’t help but exclaim.

The Blood Demon Du Zhongjun, as an elite valued by the Blood Demon Emperor, was still aware of some of the elite individuals of the Demon World.

In the Demon World, each Super Divine Beast is of utmost importance. To dispatch a Super Divine Beast to the mortal world is indeed terrifying. And more so, it is the Purple-eyed Bull Demon King, known among all the super divine beasts as the one with the strongest military power!

"Lian Yue, quickly prepare the banquet. I want to have a good drink with Brother Man Qian," Du Zhongjun said to Lady Lian Yue by his side.

"Yes, Blood Demon senior."

Lady Lian Yue understood; this Man Qian must be the envoy of the Demon World, and it seems... his combat strength is particularly strong, even making the Blood Demon Du Zhongjun inadvertently fall into a disadvantage.

"I wonder if Brother Man Qian would give me this honor?" Du Zhongjun said with a smile.

"Of course," Man Qian said with a light smile.

If he could avoid fighting, Man Qian was too lazy to do so. As a Super Divine Beast descending to the mortal world, the Demon Emperor naturally endowed him with incredible treasures since even the Demon Emperor wouldn’t dare to allow a Super Divine Beast like the Purple-eyed Bull Demon King to die so easily.

Moreover, Man Qian was very confident, whether in his own strength or in various weapons and battle armor. He was definitely superior to all other envoys.

Of course, Man Qian also knew that every envoy had some trump cards, and if it really came to a life-and-death struggle, even if he killed the opponent, he would be injured. So... if things could be settled without fighting, there was no need for violence.

At the banquet.

"Come, Brother Man Qian, let’s drink this cup," the Blood Demon Du Zhongjun said with a beaming smile as he raised his cup.

"Cheers."

Man Qian, too, never refused a drink, and after three rounds of drinks, Man Qian set down his cup and said, "Du Zhongjun, I’m sure you can guess the purpose of my visit. I ask you, how many people can the Sky-breaking Map take into the Ni Yang Realm? Don’t lie, I can also get the information from others."

Lie?

The Super Divine Beast Purple-eyed Bull Demon King, regarded as the most worrisome super divine beast by both the Immortal Realm and the Demon World, also had a very big temper. If he was friendly to you, then that was your good fortune. But if you dared to deceive, the enraged and mad Purple-eyed Bull Demon King would show you what ’Mad Bull’ means.

"The Sky-breaking Map can take five more people in addition to its owner," Du Zhongjun did not hide anything.

"So, your Sky-breaking Map has six entries, huh... three of those entries belong to me. How about that?" Man Qian went straight to the point without beating around the bush.

Du Zhongjun was taken aback.

Such a big appetite, he asked for three spots in one go.

"Huh? Does Brother Du think there is something wrong with my proposal?" Man Qian asked in return.

Du Zhongjun’s heart lurched: with a super divine beast descending, a top-grade demon artifact was definitely in possession, and it was possible... given the super divine beast’s special status, in fear of Man Qian’s death, the Beast Clan might very well bestow upon him a precious low grade divine artifact. It was hard to say.

Du Zhongjun was well aware.

Even without a low grade divine artifact, merely possessing a top-grade demon artifact made Man Qian absolutely insurmountable by Du Zhongjun himself.

The strongest martial super divine beast, even among super divine beasts, dared to claim the title of being the strongest. The Purple-eyed Bull Demon King in the First Level Demon King Realm’s strength was beyond any comparison with Du Zhongjun.

"No objections, of course, no objections," Blood Demon Du Zhongjun said with a smile, "Entering the Ni Yang Realm isn’t about having more people, but about having more powerful experts. Among my loose demons, only Wu Kongxue has some strength to contribute, the others going would simply be courting death. Giving the three slots to Brother Man Qian is joyfully giving the favour."

Man Qian laughed, raising his cup, "Then I’ll thank Brother Du. Come, let’s drink."

Within just a few sentences, the once invincible Du Zhongjun had given the three Sky-breaking Map slots to Man Qian.

Initially, Qin De, Qin Feng, and others had rushed back from the Star Pavilion and afterward had a reunion with Qin Yu.

In the past, the Independent Immortals and the loose demons on the Hidden Dragon Continent contended for the Sky-breaking Map, resulting in over ten million deaths in the Qin Dynasty. Fortunately, there were no losses to the army, so the Qin Dynasty merely had to relocate the capital and arrange for the disaster victims, without any major losses.

These days, Qin Yu was residing in the Cloud Mist Villa, where he had lived as a child.

Looking at the mountain path of Donglan Mountain, Qin Yu still remembered the extreme training he underwent, running continuously on the mountain path. He also remembered soaking in the hot springs daily, seeing the training field’s sandbags, bronze men, and blocks of limestone, and recalling his childhood days felt very magical.

"Father, Big Brother, Second Brother, you can rest assured. The Ninety-nine Tribulations are indeed dangerous, but I have quite a few treasures, and it’s not impossible to overcome the Ninety-nine Tribulations. And even if... I fail, being just a loose cultivator won’t be that much of a deal."

On Cloud Mist Villa, Qin Yu was saying his farewells to his loved ones.

"Yu’er, remember, if you really can’t withstand the Tribulation Crossing, cultivate as a loose cultivator. Don’t overstrain yourself, understand?" Qin De once again admonished.

Even with Qin De’s strong mental resilience, knowing that his son was about to face the most dangerous Ninety-nine Tribulations made him unavoidably worried.

"Father, rest assured, I will not be reckless," Qin Yu said with a smile.

"Alright, Father, Big Brother, Second Brother, Uncle Feng, Uncle Xu... I’m leaving now, and there’s no need for anyone to see me off." Qin Yu turned his head towards Mo Qilin, "Little Mo, as a Third Tribulation Independent Demon, you can calmly continue your cultivation and protect our Qin Family. If my father sends a Communication Order to you, I hope you can help."

Mo Qilin nodded, "Rest assured, just the cultivation method you passed on to me is worth me serving you, not just for eight or nine thousand years. As long as I am here, no one will think of harming your relatives."

Qin Yu nodded.

Immediately after, Qin Yu looked towards his loved ones.

"Stop looking at me like that; I’m not going off to die, nor am I going never to return. Enough said, Feifei, Little Black, let’s go." Unable to bear the atmosphere of parting, Qin Yu decisively moved and instantly broke through space and left.

Hou Fei, Hei Yu, and the three Xuanbing Lion Beasts also flew away from Cloud Mist Villa.

Qin De, Qin Feng, Qin Zheng, Feng Yuzi and others watched as Qin Yu and the rest turned into dots in the sky, silently wishing them well in their hearts.
