Chapter 1326: Knocking the Dragon Saint Out
Shoosh!
The darkness disappeared together with the Eye of Eternal Night in the sky. The crushing pressure that flooded the world also vanished.
Kaboom!
That came from the sound of crashing waves as they smashed into the gaping space that parted away from before.
Phew. Phew –
The Dragon Saint breathed deeply as he beamed. It ended? Honestly, he had been certain that he would not be able to escape from the moment he saw the Eye of Eternal Night.
Isn’t it good to live? That’s right, what nonsense!
The Dragon Saint’s personal experience told him it was great, incredible even. He lifted his hand and stroked his face. Wild emotions raced in his heart. Even with his cultivation rank as a True Saint, there was an undeniable sense of glee.
His journey to the Red Peak Straits was full of twists and turns and it was extremely exciting. However, he did not want to experience this form of excitement again!
As for Qin Yu…the Dragon Saint saw the Abyssal Titan that he had transformed into. From the aura, the Dragon Saint knew that he was going to be a threat to the Dragon Clan. He looked at the ball of light in Qin Yu’s palm. It made his heart race.
With a cold scoff, the Dragon Saint closed his eyes. He would be blind and mute, this was the right choice.
A treasure…an opportunity…
Hehe, there were many of these in the world. Could he pass on this one?
Forget it, it was not easy to live peacefully. Why would he take a risky route?
The Dragon Saint swore that he would observe Qin Yu from afar with respect!
Suddenly, space vibrated. The Dragon Saint’s eyes widened instantly. He was in the middle of swearing to leave the Peach Garden people alone.
At this point, the Dragon Saint was shocked speechless.
It was not someone from the World of Darkness…the Dragon Saint heaved a sigh of relief at this. However, his heart jumped.
It was the shameless Spring Master!
That’s right, he had crossed boundaries to teleport here from across space. He frowned deeply and his killing intent surged. Suddenly, his expression changed…this aura?
Shoosh!
Qin Yu flew towards him and bowed, “Greetings to Master.” The Spring Master’s appearance surprised him for a second but he quickly came to a realization.
It was evident that the Dragon Saint called him.
As to why the Dragon Saint called him…hehe, the way of thinking of that generation was broken.
The Spring Master nodded, “Who was the one who came from the World of Darkness?”
Qin Yu answered, “I am not sure, but it was a massive black eye with a terrifying aura…I think it was called the Eye of Eternal Night.”
Qin Yu’s pupils involuntarily shrunk at the mere mention of the name. The eye was truly terrifying. If the Eye of Eternal Night did not choose to leave, Qin Yu knew he would have had a low chance of surviving.
Despite knowing that he would die, he still did what he did previously. The reason why was simple. If begging for life was useful, no one would ever be killed.
Only by showing his weapons and making the other party fearful could he have a possibility of living.
“The Eye of Eternal Night!” Spring Master frowned. He glared at the Dragon Saint with eyes as sharp as daggers.
The Dragon Saint quickly shook his hand, “When I called you, the Eye of Eternal Night had not descended yet. You can ask Mister Ninth, he can be my witness.”
This fear…it seemed like the Spring Master gave the Dragon Saint a good beating last time.
Qin Yu coughed lightly, “The Eye of Eternal Night came and left quickly. This duration was not enough for Master to come to the East Sea.”
He had to explain this carefully. If he did not, it would imply that the Dragon Saint was trying to take revenge on the Spring Master and drag him into a trap.
The Spring Master scoffed, “Qin Yu, you must be careful on your journeys in the future. Some people may appear kind and friendly but they might still harbor a great amount of hatred to you. You don’t know when they might be scheming against you.”
The Dragon Saint’s eye twitched and he pretended that he did not hear it. You are strong and you can say whatever you want. I can’t beat you. Furthermore, there is Qin Yu as well…a wave of sadness came from his heart. The Dragon Saint felt like his life was really tough!
Why did the Dragon Saint feel so defeated all of a sudden?
His expression grew solemn and he suddenly appeared weak. He waved his hand, “The matter has ended. I will not interrupt your conversation and I will take my leave first. Goodbye.”
He turned and left with a sad posture.
“Hold on!” The Spring Master scoffed, “I did not permit you to leave yet. Tell me about your journey to the East Sea this time, Qin Yu.”
The Dragon Saint’s sudden stiffened expression was caught by Qin Yu. Qin Yu knew what the Spring Master meant. This was not his intention for poor Dragon Saint. It was not possible to cover up for the Dragon Saint, but it was enough to help him out a bit.
As such, Qin Yu briefly explained what happened. Aside from Stone Pagoda’s help, he did not hide anything else.
The Spring Master glared coldly at the Dragon Saint. He expressionless said, “So we have to thank Dragon Saint for voluntarily coming here to assist in the battle?”
The Dragon Saint forced a smile, “The East Sea and the Peach Garden are close. I could not stand by on the side. Furthermore, this is the Red Peak Straits and strictly speaking, Mister Ninth was lending me a hand. You don’t have to thank me.”
The Spring Master replied, “What you said makes sense. This also means that Qin Yu did you a favor. Right?”
This…how did the topic change to this? By not requesting a token of appreciation, the Dragon Saint appeared generous. However, something seemed strange.
He said this himself but he felt like he had to swallow his words. Even if he was thick-skinned, would the Spring Master agree to it?
His expression stiffened further and he stammered, “This…Spring Master is right…Mister Ninth taking out the Red Peak Straits was a huge favor for me…”
“Great!” The Spring Master clapped his hands enthusiastically and Dragon Saint shivered. “I knew that the great Dragon Saint of the East Sea would not spout nonsense. After all, in this world, everyone had to take responsibility for their words.”
With this, he smiled, “Then Lord Dragon Saint, what are you going to prepare as rewards for Qin Yu? It is a given for you to express a token of appreciation after someone helped you. If everyone returned empty-handed after doing a good deed, who would be willing to help others in the future?”
The Dragon Saint knew that the Spring Master was determined to knock him out.
Could he turn the Spring Master down? Of course the choice was his but it was obvious that the Spring Master was determined to harp on this. Hehe, with his understanding of the Spring Master, the Dragon Saint knew exactly what the consequences would be.
He breathed in deeply and said, “Spring Master, you are right. It was my mistake, we need to lead the younger generation of cultivators in order to make this world a better place.” His eyes fell on Qin Yu and he continued, “Not too long ago, I coincidentally got a…”
Before he finished, the Spring Master interrupted, “Qin Yu, aren’t you going to thank Dragon Saint? With his status, he will definitely give you something worthy.”
The Dragon Saint fumed internally. Spring Master, you bastard, don’t go too overboard!
However, this was also why he did not dare to speak his mind. The Spring Master was someone who would maneuver things without logical reason. What would happen when he was logical?
In the end, the Dragon Saint bit the short end of the stick. He did something he should not have done and the Spring Master grabbed him by the tail.
Qin Yu coughed lightly, “Erm…how can I dare to ask for more? If Dragon Saint is not willing, Master, you will look like the evil person!”
The Dragon Saint quickly waved his hand in a hurry, “No no, of course not. I am very willing. Mister Ninth, go ahead and make your request!”
Wasn’t it just a gift? The East Sea was rich and treasures stacked up to mountains in Dragon Palace. He was going to be broke after this.
His heart did not ache, not at all!
The Dragon Saint smiled but his hands that were hidden under his sleeves were clutched tightly. His claws extended and the scales on his skin started to turn hot.
More importantly, he did not let any of this show on the surface.
Such skills were trained over long periods of time.
Move, head to Dragon Palace!
The Dragon Saint had expressed that he would open the treasure house of Dragon Palace for Qin Yu to choose whatever he liked. He was so generous mainly because he was afraid of the Spring Master.
This incident was an acknowledgment of the change in status. As long as Qin Yu was happy, they would forget about everything that happened prior.
If not, some things would be broken eventually. Everyone’s expressions would not be nice then.
Dragini was worried and she waited in Dragon Palace. The terrifying forces that originated from the Red Peak Straits could be felt throughout the entire East Sea.
She suspected that this was related to Qin Yu and she rushed to see her father. However, the Dragon Saint was missing and she felt faint.
Black Turtle was not an easy person to deal with. If anything happened to her father…thankfully, this did not happen. The Dragon Saint returned with Qin Yu beside him. There was also another guest.
She beamed and quickly bowed, “Greetings to Spring Master!”
The Spring Master nodded, “Peachy hasn’t been well recently. As her friend, you should visit her when you are free.”
Dragini replied, “Yes, I’ve missed Peachy a lot recently but I was worried that I would interrupt her cultivation. Hence, I did not visit her. Since Spring Master allows me, I will prepare to head to the Peach Garden in a few days.”
Her eyes scanned over the Dragon Saint and Qin Yu and she said, “I have a few matters to tend to and I will not disturb Father, Spring Master and Mister Ninth.”
A look of happiness crossed the Spring Master’s face. Dragini was smart and her qualifications were good. Her bloodline was comparable to White Phoenix’s…mm, he should tend to official matters first and forget about this.
He turned and said, “Dragon Saint, come on.”
Hurry up and move. The treasury to be opened is not yours, of course you would not feel pain. I hope the little rascal Qin Yu does not have very thick skin. If he’s too greedy, I will get angry!
He gritted his teeth. The Dragon Saint gestured with his arm, “Spring Master, Mister Ninth, come with me.”
No matter what he did, what was meant to come would come. He could not avoid it.
