Chapter 652: Plot
Translator: CKtalon Editor: CKtalon
On the streets outside Eight Immortals Restaurant, there were still a few bold ones who hid in the street corners to watch the battle between immortal and fiends in the sky.
“How impressive. The aura of the immortals and fiends above are so potent, far stronger than my grandmaster. Terrifying. They are all at the Skyimmortal or Skyfiend realm.”
“Such a massive battle is rare even in the capital.”
“Having just left my mountain sect, I never expected to encounter such a major battle upon coming to the capital.”
Many people watched in excitement.
There were thousands of Skyimmortals and Skyfiends in the capital. There were even more Essence Soul realm or mortal cultivators. At that moment, they were either watching the battle from the streets or through their windows.
Patriarch Wei had cast Inferno Hell Eight Snakes Array and its array formation had enveloped the entire capital. Its might was indeed terrifying.
“This Patriarch Wei can match a half-step mighty figure with the aid of that array, but he was killed in one blow.” A linen-clothed elder by the corner of the street, who was none other than Patriarch Mental Demon’s avatar, discussed the events with his partners via voice transmission. “Brother Spirit Devouring, this mysterious Daoist Feng’s attack must be close to that of an ordinary mighty figure, right?”
“Barely,” a fat elder beside him said. He was the manifestation of Patriarch Spirit Devouring. He had long reached the perfected Great Dao realm and with the Fiend Ancestor’s help, he had concealed his aura. Despite having infiltrated the capital, Qin Yun only barely sensed their spying, but was unable to determine who it was that spied on him.
“However, it only proves that his strength matches that of a mighty figure. To verify that he is really Qin Yun, we still need to attack,” said Patriarch Spirit Devouring via voice transmission. “If I were to attack, it would cause a huge stir... If Daoist Feng happens not to be Qin Yun, news of my attack will immediately spread. Once the Green Touring Palace lineage learns of it, they will definitely be put on the alert. Qin Yun would also hide away and not dare appear in a Great World again. Then, Fiend Ancestor’s plan will fail. Therefore, I will still need you, Brother Mental Demon, to probe him. Your moves are formless and undetectable, making them extremely stealthy.”
Just as they were conversing via voice transmission, Qin Yun released countless Sword Qi that descended like the rain. They tore through the bodies of the fiends, killing countless fiends.
“Ahhh...”
“No—” Tragic screams sounded from everywhere as countless fiends perished.
The Wei Nation capital’s populace only thought of it as a battle between experts, but they never realized how crucial this battle was for the Wei Nation.
“Alright, I’ll probe him,” said Patriarch Mental Demon. “However, Brother Spirit Devouring, if he’s really Qin Yun, make sure not to let him escape. I’m only able to injure him, but not stop him.”
“Just do what you need to do. I will naturally not fail at my task. As long as he’s Qin Yun, he’s dead!” Patriarch Spirit Devouring was very confident.
His attacks were famous throughout the Three Realms.
He was known to have the sharpest mouth in the Three Realms, he could even damage Connate Cardinal treasures!
With the Fiend Ancestor’s specially prepared array, and their minds set to the task... killing a pinnacle mighty figure that relied on a Intrinsic Connate Cardinal treasure had a high chance of success!
“He’s leaving.” Patriarch Spirit Devouring suddenly frowned as he sent a voice transmission. “If he were to leave, who knows when we will find him again? Quickly attack.”
“Alright,” answered Patriarch Mental Demon.
...
In midair.
“Master, are we leaving now?” Qing Shuang was somewhat astonished.
“Since the Wei Nation’s matters are settled, it’s time we leave,” Qin Yun said while he sensed the two spying entities. Clearly, two mysterious experts were watching him.
He had to leave now to force the fiends to quickly attack!
“By the way, I killed a Supremacy of the Black Wind Fiend Sect. If it seeks retribution, feel free to give my name,” Qin Yun said.
“Thank you, Dao Brother Feng, for doing all this. The Wei clan Skyfiends who died probably died in grievance, but nearly all the living Skyimmortals will be grateful towards you. The billions of Wei Nation commoners will also be grateful towards you,” said Princess Wei Ran.
“The commoners do not ask for much. All they wish is to have food to eat and shelter to live under.” After saying that, Qin Yun said, “Qing Shuang, let’s go.”
With Qing Shuang, he rode on a cloud and flew rapidly towards the horizon.
Qing Shuang followed her master obediently. As she looked at her master’s figure, she felt mixed emotions. She had not cultivated for long—less than a hundred years. Surrounding the cave abode where she used to cultivate in seclusion were villagers who treated her very well. But later... the human world she remembered was gone by the time she finished her cultivation!
The human world seemed like hell with white bones strewn across the ground.
The grannies, toddlers, young adults she was familiar with were all dead. Qing Shuang did not believe that was what the human world should look like.
Therefore, she was fully willing to assassinate the Wei Nation’s sovereign. After all... even if the assassination attempt was successful, there was a high chance of not being able to escape. After killing the sovereign, the revenge exacted by the Wei clan would intensify by a hundred or thousand times. Her fate was practically sealed, but she still attempted the assassination, showing her determined she was.
She failed.
However, despite failing, her master had done it! Her master had wiped out the fiends in the Wei Nation!
“This Wei Nation will turn for the better. The people’s future will be blissful. Master, I thank you on behalf of them,” Qing Shuang thought silently.
While Qing Shuang was still immersed in her emotions, Qin Yun was actually very wary while he led her in flight.
“I laid a trap, but I can’t identify the two who are spying on me. These two might very well be perfected Great Dao existences. Are they sending two to deal with me at once? I might be confident against one, but if it’s two against one... Perhaps, I might even succumb?” Qin Yun suddenly felt a worry that grew in his heart.
“No good! The enemy has already attacked!”
Qin Yun snapped to his senses.
His Essence Soul was powerful and had long reached the perfected Great Dao realm. Furthermore, his Intrinsic Connate Cardinal treasure was being nourished in his Essence Soul to guard it. At that moment, the Misty Rain Sword’s formless Sword Qi became defensive upon sensing a formless energy that permeated the area.
...
The linen-clothed elder by the corner of the streets—Patriarch Mental Demon—was actually his strongest avatar.
He had secretly attacked the departing Qin Yun.
When the formless energy permeated Qin Yun’s body...
It was instantly sliced apart by the formless Sword Qi. Tiny amounts of power were barely transmitted into Qin Yun’s body. Even so, Patriarch Mental Demon could not withstand that.
“Pfft.” The Patriarch Mental Demon’s avatar paled as his Essence Soul trembled. The lifeblood in him boiled over as he spewed a mouthful of blood.
“The Sword Qi is terrifying. It’s like countless flying swords are slicing at my Essence Soul,” Patriarch Mental Demon thought. “Is having an Intrinsic Connate Cardinal treasure protecting one’s Essence Soul that powerful?”
“It’s him!”
Although shocked, Patriarch Mental Demon’s avatar still nodded slightly at Patriarch Spirit Devouring. Qin Yun was the only one capable of such terrifying Sword Qi in the Three Realms!
Patriarch Spirit Devouring revealed a look of glee. “Great!”
...
When Qin Yun sensed the attack, he was very alarmed. “I’m at the perfected Great Dao realm, and I have the Intrinsic Connate Cardinal treasure guarding my Essence Soul. Yet, he can still influence my thoughts?” However, he was unaware that Patriarch Mental Demon’s strongest strike had only influenced his thoughts at the cost of being heavily injured.
“Qing Shuang, let’s go!” Qin Yun held Qing Shuang’s hand and immediately waved his hand. A sword flash appeared seemingly to tear open the void, making him appear as though he was escaping.
Hum!
A terrifying massive array erupted.
The array was set up by Patriarch Spirit Devouring the moment he stealthily entered the Huifeng Great World. At that moment, the array’s activation influenced the entire space-time of the Huifeng Great World. Space-time was completely sealed, so even perfected Great Dao experts could not escape.
The phenomenon of a dark red array appeared in midair. It stretched out for half a million kilometers.
The array was directly connected to the remote Tenebrous Fiend Abyss. Boundless fiendish powers descended upon the Huifeng Great World. Such a stir naturally alarmed all the Huifeng Great World’s experts.
“Hahaha... Qin Yun, are you thinking of fleeing? It’s too late!”
A laughter resounded through the area as a figure appeared beneath the array formation. A lanky figure, with eyes beneath a pair of blood-colored brows was staring at Qin Yun.
Qin Yun looked over and recognized him. “The person that came to deal with me is Patriarch Spirit Devouring? That’s within expectations.”
When Qing Shuang saw the terrifying array, she was astounded. When she heard Patriarch Spirit Devouring’s words resound through the sky, she hurriedly said, “Master, it looks like the Huifeng Great World will play host to a massive battle. An enemy is here to deal with Sword Immortal Qin! Let’s quickly hide away or we might be implicated!”
