Chapter 531A - Holy Nether Guard Commander
Chapter 531A - Holy Nether Guard Commander
Five days had passed since the Demon Body test. The punishment that Qin Yu gave Gong Zhen and his two cohorts was both benevolent and cruel.
To say it was benevolent was because this punishment was an easy task to complete and there was almost no difficulty at all.
To say it was cruel was because since that day, Gong Zhen and the other two had disappeared, no longer making an appearance.
Many Demonic Path cultivators thought of Qin Yu’s methods and subconsciously trembled.
Even if some people wanted to grab onto his thigh, they didn’t dare to casually have any thoughts of him.
Because Qin Yu’s punishment was – streaking n.a.k.e.d for an hour.
Yes, it was exactly this. Even if there was a woman amongst the group, Qin Yu was as cold and callous as iron. There was not an iota of sympathy in his eyes.
It wasn’t that Gong Zhen and the other two didn’t think of refusing, but there were numerous witnesses that day, and Qin Yu’s request didn’t surpass their bottom lines either.
And most importantly, did they dare to refuse a white sun boundary talent?
If they obediently stripped off their clothes and ran for an hour, losing face was inevitable. But perhaps with this they could forget this matter.
Even if they tore apart all pretense of face, while Qin Yu might not be able to do anything to them momentarily, what about later?
No one wanted to be remembered by Qin Yu. Even Calamity Immortals had to be cautious, much less three new Demonic Path disciples.
Gong Zhen was the first to agree. He tore off his robes and began to earnestly run around.
Bao Yihan was the second.
When that chuckling woman from before started running, her tears fell directly onto her chest. The sight was like the arrival of spring, tinged with a hint of pity.
Within the Demonic Path, something like streaking might have appeared before. But, to see two men and one woman do it together, this was a considerably rare sight. And because of the commotion that Qin Yu had caused, many people were paying attention to him, so even more people saw this.
It was unknown how many Demonic Path cultivators widened their eyes, their eyebrows flying up even as they sighed with emotion. Were the new Demonic Path disciples so eager to horse around?
While the streaking event was still occurring, Qin Yu had already stopped paying attention to it. He used this sort of ‘vicious’ method in order to set up his own prestige and inform everyone that if they wanted to deal with him, they would have to be prepared for the consequences!
Now that his goal was achieved, he could toss it into the back of his mind.
Right now, Qin Yu was wondering who would be the first to contact him.
He learnt about the white sun talent boundary by talking to Zhao Qianyuan afterwards. At the same time, he was given a vague reminder.
Qin Yu mulled over things. Zhao Qianyuan shouldn’t be wrong. Right now, the attention of most high level figures in the Demonic Path should be focused on him.
Five days should be enough time for all the various factions of the Demonic Path to reach a compromise.
Within the large dwelling at the summit of the mountain, Qin Yu’s eyes flashed with an inexplicable light.
But the person he expected hadn’t appeared. Rather, another guest appeared outside his dwelling.
Seeing Sun Zifu being welcomed in, Qin Yu’s heart brightened. “Come and take a seat.”
Sun Zifu shook his head, a look of shame on his face. “I know that fellow daoist Yao must be mocking me in your heart, but I am only one of the sons of the Sun Family. While I have some authority and status, I don’t have the qualifications to make decisions on my own.”
He took out a storage ring. “This is the reward that I promised fellow daoist Yao, along with some more as the Sun Family’s apology. I hope that fellow daoist can accept it.”
Once he laid down the storage ring, Sun Zifu turned to leave. But after taking several steps, he paused and said, “Right now, there are many people watching. The situation in the Demonic Path seems calm, but there are actually turbulent waves surging beneath the surface. Fellow daoist Yao must be extra careful and consider things twice before doing anything.”
He came quickly and left just as quickly. Compared to before, Sun Zifu seemed to have experienced some changes. Qin Yu’s eyes flashed. He picked up the storage ring.
Demon Body Tempering Pill.
He had long since heard of its name. Compared to the agreed amount, there was 50% more, a total of 30.
The rest were completely spirit stones. The Sun Family didn’t disappoint their title as the wealthiest noble family within the Demonic Path; their show of wealth was extravagant. However, after the events of selling the precelestial wood to the Immortal Sect in Four Seasons City, Qin Yu had a mind-boggling amount of spirit stones on him. So, he looked over the amount several times and received it, not caring too much.
He picked up a Demon Body Tempering Pill. After probing it a bit, he discovered there wasn’t anything wrong. He also scr.a.p.ed off a little bit of powder and tested it. When it was confirmed to be safe, he swallowed it down.
A moment later, Qin Yu opened his eyes, an additional color in his eyes. This Demon Body Tempering Pill was really something good; it could unexpectedly directly promote his Demon Body boundary.
Unfortunately, the Emperor level Demon Body was like a vast sea. The strength of the Demon Body Tempering Pill was a small stream. Even describing it as a glass of water wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
This pill was most suited to cultivators who had just started cultivating the Demon Body. If such a person would take it, they would be able to double their cultivation speed with half the effort.
Qin Yu shook his head. He glanced at the remaining 29 pills and put them away.
With his Demon Body boundary, using these pills to cultivate was just a waste.
However, Qin Yu couldn’t blame the Sun Family for their gift being unable to help him. Not to mention that they had agreed upon this long ago, but to the outside world, it appeared that Qin Yu’s Demon Body cultivation hadn’t even crossed the threshold yet. To deliver him 30 Demon Body Tempering Pills was already incredibly generous.
Whatever. If he had a chance later, he would simply trade them away. These 29 Demon Body Tempering Pills possessed a high exchange value in the Demonic Path.
The day after Sun Zifu left, the person Qin Yu had been waiting for finally came to contact him. While it wasn’t some great figure, their status actually wasn’t low.
The Holy Palace’s True Demon Guard Commander had an even and temperate tone as he spoke, “Fellow daoist Yao Bin, I am here upon orders to inform you to pack up your things today. You will be entering the Endless Sea to cultivate.”
Although his voice was even, it was also warm. But deep in his eyes, there was a hint of confusion as well as traces of sympathy. The Endless Sea…yes, this was a good place to cultivate. But, no one within the Demonic Path would go there on their own initiative.
A white sun boundary talent. Forgetting his title as a Holy Demon Son, how could this person suddenly be exiled?
Commander Liu Shen couldn’t figure it out. But, he had always been a prudent person. He would never ask things that he didn’t have the qualifications to know.
He smiled and cupped his hands together. After bidding his farewells, the commander left. Some people would naturally come to handle this later.
Soon, news spread throughout the mountain. Many disciples were disturbed and terrified all this time, and at the same time they couldn’t help but feel envious of Qin Yu. After hearing this news, they let out a long breath and started to laugh out joyously in their hearts.
The rumors were indeed true. This surname Yao possessed unparalleled talent, but he was actually regarded as a threat by others. Being banished into the Endless Sea was the best proof of it! If this surname Yao had known he would suffer such a fate today, would he regret his performance being too dazzling?
Tsk tsk. As it was said, sometimes blessings were misfortune in disguise. These words couldn’t be any more right!
