Chapter 327: Episode 12, Chapter 17: Is this Qin Yu the same as that Qin Yu?

Yu Qingzi had a very bad premonition, and seeing the expressions on the disciples’ faces only increased his concern.

Faced with Yu Qingzi’s questioning, the second-generation disciples all hesitated, not knowing what to say. The disciples involuntarily turned their eyes to the senior brother, who also felt helpless in his heart. It seemed that, in the end, he would have to be the one to speak up.

"Master, junior brother Yu Dian has been murdered," the senior brother said gravely.

"Murdered? Are you saying that Yu Dian, my disciple, has been killed?" Yu Qingzi’s entire body trembled. He was very proud to have a disciple like Yu Dian, especially since his pupil had attracted the attention of Emperor Yu, which made him even prouder.

After all, among the ’Thirty-Six Lords’ under Emperor Yu, Yu Qingzi was at the bottom. Only by teaching such excellent disciples could he feel truly proud. Moreover, Immortal Emperor Qian Qi had even specially praised his disciple, Yu Dian, upon his visit.

"Yu Qingzi, has your nephew apprentice Yu Dian been murdered?" Immortal Emperor Qian Qi, beside them, asked.

Yu Qingzi nodded, then took a deep breath to suppress the rage in his heart, and looked at his disciples and said, "What exactly happened? Tell me everything in detail."

"Fan Lan, as the senior brother, you should speak," Yu Qingzi said, looking towards the senior brother Fan Lan. Immortal Emperor Qian Qi also looked towards Fan Lan.

Fan Lan recalled the events carefully, then replied, "Master, Senior Qian Qi. The reason junior brother Yu Dian was murdered relates to an incident that occurred ten years ago."

"Ten years ago?"

Yu Qingzi furrowed his brows, wondering how this related to an event from ten years ago. Immortal Emperor Qian Qi said, "If I remember correctly, ten years ago was when Yu Dian had just been assigned to take care of Emperor Yu’s affairs, right?"

Fan Lan nodded and said, "Yes, ten years ago, junior brother Yu Dian indeed went to Blue Mars to manage Emperor Yu’s important matters. But also ten years ago, a disciple highly valued by junior brother Yu Dian, ’Yan Gao,’ was murdered."

"Nephew apprentice Yan Gao was of average talent, but he had a brilliant business acumen. He was very similar to junior brother Yu Dian, so Yu Dian particularly liked this disciple. Ten years ago, Yu Dian was preparing to have Yan Gao succeed him. Little did we know that at that time, disciple Yan Gao was killed. But since Yu Dian was occupied with Emperor Yu’s important affairs, he naturally could not delay them, so he endured and did not seek revenge."

Yu Qingzi and Immortal Emperor Qian Qi both nodded inwardly.

It was clear that Yu Dian knew his priorities.

"Ten years later, junior brother Yu Dian returned successfully and was warmly welcomed by you, Master," continued Fan Lan. "However, junior brother Yu Dian always had in mind to avenge his disciple. Shortly after the celebratory banquet ended, Yu Dian set off with four third-generation disciples."

Suddenly, Yu Qingzi asked, "The four third-generation disciples, how strong were they?"

Yu Qingzi clearly wanted to understand the strength of their own party that had set out.

Fan Lan continued, "Master, among the four third-generation disciples, one is my subordinate and has reached the level of a Ninth-level Golden Immortal. The other three were disciples of junior brother Yu Dian—two Eighth Level Golden Immortals and one Seventh Level Golden Immortal."

"Five people, they were most skilled in the ’Five Elements Chain Sword Formation,’" Yu Qingzi murmured to himself.

"Master, when junior brother Yu Dian and the other four went to Fengyue Star to confront the enemy, they utilized the ’Five Elements Chain Sword Formation.’ However, in the end, all of them died, none survived, only Lu Cao managed to send a message before his death," Fan Lan said with a voice full of sorrow.

As a sect leader, Yu Qingzi was not one to become hot-headed easily.

After pondering for a moment, he asked, "What is the strength of the enemy? Did Lu Cao’s message mention it?"

"Ah, Master, there is something I must clarify," Fan Lan suddenly remembered something, "Nephew Lu Cao did not specify the enemy’s exact strength, but he mentioned that the enemy is a senior member of a person named Qin Yu’s sect. The enemy was able to withstand the strongest blow from the ’Five Elements Chain Sword Formation’."

When the five disciples of Yu Dian were fighting with Qin Yu,

Qin Yu claimed to be a senior member of his own sect and once said that he was not at the level of an Immortal Emperor. However, Lu Cao, after seeing Qin Yu withstand that strike, naturally didn’t believe Qin Yu’s claim, so the message he sent back did not pass along what Qin Yu had once said.

"Withstand the strongest blow of the ’Five Elements Chain Sword Formation’ from Yu Dian’s five disciples?" Yu Qingzi’s expression changed.

Immortal Emperor Qian Qi spoke softly from the side, "A Ninth-level Golden Immortal, three Eighth-level Golden Immortals, and one Seventh-level Golden Immortal. Even with their combined strength, that attack power is extremely formidable, not to mention that it was amplified by the formation, and moreover, it was the strongest strike. I’m afraid even you, Yu Qingzi, wouldn’t dare to withstand it outright."

Yu Qingzi nodded and said, "Brother Qian Qi is right. If I were to withstand their joint strike, even if it didn’t kill me, I would be severely injured."

"In that case, the enemy’s strength is at least not inferior to yours," Immortal Emperor Qian Qi frowned as well.

Yu Qingzi nodded again and then suddenly asked Fan Lan, "What kind of planet is this Fengyue Star, to have such a formidable master?" Yu Qingzi had already considered the enemy to be at the level of an Immortal Emperor.

In fact, Qin Yu had been able to withstand a blow due to the nearly indestructible nature of his ’Sword Immortal Puppet.’

Even the self-destruction of a Nascent Soul of a Ninth-level Golden Immortal in the palm of one’s hand would not have damaged the Sword Immortal Puppet’s body in the slightest. This indicates just how abnormal the body of the Sword Immortal Puppet was.

This point also led to a misjudgment by the two great masters, Yu Qingzi and Immortal Emperor Qian Qi.

"Fengyue Star is just an ordinary planet, with only a few Golden Immortals at most, and there are three major families within this planet. The Qin Yu you mentioned is a Guest Elder of the Liu Family. And the one who killed Yu Dian’s disciples is a senior member of this Qin Yu’s sect," Fan Lan detailed carefully.

Yu Qingzi pondered for a moment.

"Alright, you all go out first; I have important matters to discuss thoroughly with Brother Qian Qi," Yu Qingzi suddenly commanded his disciples.

Immediately, the seven great disciples bowed and said, "Yes, Master," and then, led by Fan Lan, they left in turn, leaving only Yu Qingzi and Immortal Emperor Qian Qi.

Immortal Emperor Qian Qi looked at Yu Qingzi with a meaningful smile.

Yu Qingzi, slightly embarrassed, said, "Brother Qian Qi, the enemy’s strength is extremely formidable; I alone... my spirit is willing, but my flesh is weak." Yu Qingzi had already been shaken by the previous deductions.

He had already regarded the enemy as an Immortal Emperor whose strength was slightly superior to his own.

Immortal Emperor Qian Qi pondered and said, "Yu Qingzi, since that person allowed Lu Cao to communicate, it must mean he didn’t solve everyone with a single move. It seems that, even though he is strong, he isn’t overwhelmingly so."

"Yes," Yu Qingzi nodded in agreement.

A Ninth-level Golden Immortal, three Eighth-level Golden Immortals, and one Seventh-level Golden Immortal. If Immortal Emperor Qian Qi were to take action, he could definitely kill all five of them in an instant. How could he have given Lu Cao the opportunity to send a message?

"But I am worried about one thing: this mysterious enemy is a senior of Qin Yu’s sect. Just how many seniors does this Qin Yu’s sect have? And is this one the strongest among them?" Immortal Emperor Qian Qi voiced his own concerns.

Yu Qingzi’s expression changed as well.

That’s right.

The senior from Qin Yu’s sect who has now appeared, could he be the most powerful one?

If not, what if there are even stronger and more terrifying Immortal Emperors lurking in the shadows?

"I hope Immortal Emperor Qian Qi can enlighten me in this confusing situation," Yu Qingzi urgently said to Immortal Emperor Qian Qi.

Immortal Emperor Qian Qi was the leader of the ’Thirty-Six Lords’ under Emperor Yu’s command, and to become the head of the ’Thirty-Six Lords’ was not just a testament to his strength. His consideration and handling of matters were also very sophisticated.

Immortal Emperor Qian Qi gave a slight smile and pointed towards the north with one hand, "Could it be that Yu Qingzi has forgotten about that one?"

"Do you mean..." Yu Qingzi’s eyes lit up, "His Majesty?"

Immortal Emperor Qian Qi nodded slowly, smiling, "Smart. Think about it, His Majesty is very interested in Yu Dian, even wanting Yu Dian to become one of his close confidants. Now that Yu Dian has been killed, how could His Majesty remain indifferent?"

"Brilliant," laughed Yu Qingzi.

Immortal Emperor Qian Qi continued, "Moreover, it’s still uncertain how many enemies there are. If we are to take action, we would naturally face just the two of them. As the saying goes, ’There is strength in numbers.’ We should at least gather all the Eighth and Ninth Level Golden Immortal experts of the Silver String Star System, and also summon those close to the Silver String Star System under His Majesty’s command. Such a large movement would naturally need to be reported to His Majesty."

At this moment, Yu Qingzi felt relieved.

With matters having come to this point, it was best to let Emperor Yu take personal charge. Even if the handling was poor, Emperor Yu would not blame Yu Qingzi.

"Brother Qian Qi, please take a moment to rest. I will go to the ’Communication Secret Array’ to inform Emperor Yu," Yu Qingzi said.

"No need for such ceremony, Yu Qingzi, off you go," Immortal Emperor Qian Qi said with a smile.

Following that, Yu Qingzi headed towards the Communication Secret Array.

After all, the realms of Immortals, Demons, and Beasts were too vast. While the Communication Spirit Pearl had a wider range than the Communication Order, it could only cover an area the size of a Star Domain. To communicate across several Star Domains, one must enter the ’Communication Secret Array.’: within this array, the ability of the Communication Spirit Pearl to transmit messages would be greatly amplified and capable of reaching much further.

Mist enshrouded the air, with canopies fluttering in the dense fog.

Inside the canopy, there were two people sitting opposite each other in the lotus position with a small table between them, on which were only two cups of tea. Among the two individuals sitting opposite each other, one wore green clothes and carried a long sword on his back, the attire of a Sword Immortal.

The other person was clad in a purple robe and had long hair carelessly draped over his shoulders.

"Zhi Bai, please wait for a moment; Yu Qingzi has sent a message," said the middle-aged man in the purple robe, smiling.

"Your Majesty, please," the green-clothed Sword Immortal nodded and said.

The identities of these two individuals are startling when revealed: the man in the purple robe is none other than ’Emperor Yu,’ the leader of one of the three major powers in the Immortal Realm today. Emperor Yu has stood proudly in the Immortal Realm for countless years, remaining unyielded. His personal strength goes without saying. With his Eighth Level Xuanxian Realm, there are few in the Immortal Realm who can match him.

Though this Green-clothed Sword Immortal’s status and strength are somewhat inferior, many fear him even more. Emperor Yu’s position today owes much to the Green-clothed Sword Immortal’s contributions.

Known as the ’Green Blood Sword Immortal,’ Zhi Bai Immortal Emperor, the Green-clothed Sword Immortal is the leader of Emperor Yu’s ’Eighteen Immortal Emperors’ and a Seventh Level Xuanxian wielder!

A Seventh Level Xuanxian is only one level weaker than Emperor Yu, but the ’Green Blood Sword Immortal’ is also the most powerful attacker among the immortals—the Sword Immortal. Back when Immortal Emperor Ni Yang was alive, the Green Blood Sword Immortal and Ni Yang were considered to be the pinnacle of Sword Immortals together.

Some even say that the reason why Immortal Emperor Ni Yang could suppress the Green Blood Sword Immortal and become the number one Sword Immortal was that Ni Yang was an Eighth Level Xuanxian.

Many also claim that if the Green Blood Sword Immortal were also an Eighth Level Xuanxian, his attacking power would probably surpass that of Immortal Emperor Ni Yang.

This is not a blind guess. The sole reason is... the sword technique of the Green Blood Sword Immortal is designed to kill. Of course, this is just speculation since the Green Blood Sword Immortal is a Seventh Level Xuanxian, and breaking through is not simply a matter of time.

"Qin Yu, Qin Yu..."

Dressed in a purple robe, Emperor Yu put away the Communication Spirit Pearl, his brows slightly furrowed. Suddenly, he turned to the ’Green Blood Sword Immortal,’ Zhi Bai, and said, "Zhi Bai, do you remember the message your disciple ’Hua Yan’ sent us after failing to emerge from the Ni Yang Realm in the Mortal World?"

When Hua Yan, Du Zhongjun, Ao Feng, and others failed to emerge from the Ni Yang Realm, they had all sent the full account of the events back to their leaders through secret techniques.

"I remember." Zhi Bai nodded slightly.

Emperor Yu lifted his teacup and took a sip, saying, "When Hua Yan described the events, he mentioned a mysterious force. This force caught my attention because of three people—Qin Yu, Qin Yu’s Uncle Lan Feng, and another mysterious ’Uncle Lan’."

Zhi Bai nodded and said, "Indeed, that Lan Feng actually knows the ’Sky-breaking Sword Technique,’ which is certainly surprising. What’s wrong, Your Majesty? I just heard Your Majesty mention Qin Yu."

Emperor Yu smiled and said, "Nothing much, just that Yu Qingzi sent a message saying that the Golden Immortal Yu Dian, whom I had high hopes for, has been killed. And the one who killed him is a senior from ’Qin Yu’s’ sect."

"Qin Yu?" Zhi Bai was slightly taken aback, "According to the message sent by Hua Yan, this Qin Yu has also reached the Great Success Stage and could possibly ascend. However, the Immortal, Demon, and Demon Realms are vast, and there are thousands, if not tens of thousands, of immortals named Qin Yu. This Qin Yu may not necessarily be the Qin Yu from the Mortal World."

"I understand that." Emperor Yu nodded and said, "However, according to what Yu Qingzi said, this Qin Yu’s sect senior is also very powerful, at least at the Immortal Emperor Level. Although there are many Qin Yus, it is likely that not many have such formidable elders in their sect."

Zhi Bai nodded in agreement.

Emperor Yu smiled faintly: "Regardless, let’s investigate. If it really is the Qin Yu from the Mortal World, then... the days ahead will not be too dull." Not too dull?

Of course, divine artifacts such as the Mysterious God Scroll and the Ten Thousand Beasts List once owned by Immortal Emperor Ni Yang are enough to stir up turmoil across the Immortal, Demon, and Demon Worlds once again.

"This Qin Yu, that Qin Yu, are they the same person?" Emperor Yu’s face bore a smile as his gaze seemed to penetrate through endless space, as if he could see Qin Yu in the Blue Bay Star Domain.

(I had a class reunion today, and I, Fang Qie, drank too much. My mind feels groggy and terrible. Barely managing to write one more Chapter, I can’t continue. Tomorrow, I will make up for the three Chapters I owe. I hope everyone will give Fang Qie a break—thank you~~)
