Chapter 494: A Consipiracy Discovered, Most Urgent
Translator: Kazeyuki_ Editor: Jimmy_
Departing from the Bowl Valley, Qin Wushuang found the correct path. With a rough estimation, he was already fifty to sixty thousand miles away from that Wild Flame Cliff.
It meant that in those three days, Qin Wushuang had flown close to twenty thousand miles a day.
Burning with impatience, Qin Wushuang just wanted to see the exact situation at that Wild Flame Cliff at the earliest time possible. After three days, Qin Wushuang finally arrived at the Crest Mountain.
This time, Qin Wushuang was extremely careful as he did not act recklessly. Instead, he only started to slowly head towards the direction of the Wild Flame Cliff after he had nurtured his body to its best state.
Apparently, after that battle, neither the Heavenly Penance Villa or the Thunder Sound sect decided to linger at this place. While walking through the empty Crest Mountain, Qin Wushuang did not see a single person.
Stopping on top of the Wild Flame Cliff, as Qin Wushuang looked towards the high cliff that erupted flame as usual, grief emerged in his heart continuously.
Again, he looked at that stone forest where remains of Qin Shixun lay scattered on the left and right side. The remains of Qin Shixun’s head also hung on a tree. His two eyes still open and maintained the tranquil expression of viewing life and death as indifferent.
Feeling touched and impressed, Qin Wushuang immediately cleaned Qin Shixun’s remain. He wrapped it with a piece of tarpaulin and sealed it to prevent it from degenerating.
After finishing all of this, Qin Wushuang approached the high cliff and spread out his spiritual perception. He planned to use his spiritual perception to investigate. Of course, it was much more useful to investigate with spiritual perception than yelling.
The places where a spiritual perception could reach that a voice would not.
Qin Wushuang extended his spiritual perception into the distance for quite a while. Yet, he did not sense a trace of life. Feeling anxious inwardly, he flicked his wings and dashed down from the high cliff.
Currently, since Qin Wushuang had the protection of the azure amour, his defense against the high temperature had naturally increased tremendously. As he descended, the pressure from the high temperature had been alleviated a lot.
As Qin Wushuang kept falling and flying, he kept searching with his spiritual perception. In the end, he could not find a single trace. Bao Bao and Lone seemed to have disappeared from the world and melted inside these raging flames and high temperature.
“Bao Bao, Lone…” Qin Wushuang’s mouth and tongue had become extremely dry, while becoming even more disappointed inwardly.
He had already flown for three days and three nights. Continuous flying had pushed his physical body and spiritual Qi to the limit. However, he still did not want to give up.
He flew back to the high cliff and restored a portion of his physical power through meditation and adjustment. After this, Qin Wushuang once again continued his search. He travelled back and forth across these thousand miles of the Wild Flame Cliff land and conducted a thorough search. However, the result still made him incredibly disappointed.
In quick succession, he kept adjusting his physical state as he conducted his search. Still, there was nothing.
…
In the deepest ley line of the Wild Flame Cliff, it was a completely different world. Presently, Lone was sitting on top of a stone and appeared somewhat depressed.
“Second, you are still thinking of getting out?” Bao Bao scrambled from the side, “Don’t worry, just train with ease. When we reach the Transformation Void Martial Stage, we will fly out naturally. Right now, it’s useless even if you think until your head cracks.”
Lone gave a long sigh: “That’s a reasonable way of putting it, but I still feel depressed being stuck in this ghostly place.”
“I don’t feel depressed, I am just somewhat worried about Boss.” Bao Bao gave a light sigh, “I reckon Boss must be worried about us. Perhaps he thinks that we’ve already died, ha ha ha.”
“One is bound for good fortune after surviving a great disaster. Second, don’t look so miserable. When we get out, this Xuan Yuan Mound will be ours for the taking.” No matter the situation, Bao Bao did not forget to stay optimistic.
Although the days spent down at the bottom of the valley hadn’t been pleasant, to him, staying alive was a good thing. Initially, when these two fell from the Wild Flame Cliff, they thought they would die for certain.
Unexpectedly, after they had fallen in, besides the miserably high temperature, they were caught by a wave of air currents before dropping in.
This air current was caused by the raging flames continuously spat out by this Wild Flame Cliff.
Bao Bao had the Divine Dao bloodline and Lone was a spiritual beast of the fire attribute. Although they felt they were almost being roasted by this high temperature, they had stayed alive miraculously.
When they dropped to the bottom of the cliff, the high temperature was not as scorching as the one at the top. These two had found a relatively safer place after some difficult search.
To Bao Bao, since he was here, he took it easy. Each day he kept training and working hard. On the contrary, Lone appeared somewhat depressed. Fortunately, Bao Bao was there to cheer him up.
This way, these two buffoons started to live a mutually dependent life under the Wild Flame Cliff. For now, they were fine.
Regarding Qin Wushuang, after searching for half a month at this Wild Flame Cliff, the result was still incredibly disappointing. A couple of times Qin Wushuang wanted to break through the high cliff to head to the bottom of the cliff. Yet, he was always blocked by the wave of air current and found himself unable to continue down.
In fact, this wave of air current was the one that had saved Bao Bao and Lone’s lives. Only, this air current remained in an eruption mode for a long period and had only stopped temporarily.
Since Qin Wushuang had not encountered a break in the eruption through his long search, he could not make it down. Bao Bao and Lone only got rolled downwards during a resting period.
Again, Qin Wushuang returned with disappointment as he sat next to the high cliff. Multifarious thoughts filled his mind. Now, it was dusk and another day was about to pass.
“I will search for another three days. If I still get nothing, I will bring Senior Qin Shixun’s body back to the Heavenly Emperor Mountain for burial, I must let him rest in peace.” Qin Wushuang thought it this way.
The day had gotten dark. Deep inside the stone forest, Qin Wushuang found a remote place to rest. This was his habit each night.
Although this Crest Mountain was extremely dangerous, he could not guarantee that there were no other bypassing martial artists. Once someone with ill-intentions passed by, it was unavoidable for side issues to keep arising.
Thus, during nighttime, he valued self-protection greatly.
Tonight, the starry sky was resplendent, Qin Wushuang looked up at the sky with his thoughts extending to the vast distance. As he was fixed in his own train of thoughts, suddenly, he saw two weaker lights dropping down from the sky.
Apparently, it was two martial artists passing by. They had descended after their attention had been caught by the red light emerging from this Wild Flame Cliff.
“Black Panther, this is the Crest Mountain, Wild Flame Cliff, right?” An indifferent voice spoke.
“Yes, Young Master, it’s the Wild Flame Cliff. This is it.”
Hearing the voice of these two, Qin Wushuang immediately restrained his presence to prevent any traces of his presence from leaking out.
Apparently, these two also appeared extremely careful. Once they dropped onto this Wild Flame Cliff, they started to search with their spiritual perception. After making sure there were no potential threats, that Young Master said: “These three guys are truly crafty. Along our way, we didn’t even bump into their shadows! Could it be that they had flown away with wings?”
“Young Master, per the information, it’s possible that Mu Rong Qianji had seen that Qin Wushuang at the Crest Mountain. Afterwards, someone said that a major battle occurred at this Crest Mountain. It’s possible that those three got killed and fell into this Wild Flame Cliff.”
Qin Wushuang…
Qin Wushuang revealed a bitter smile. He already become somewhat numb to hearing his own name. Currently, information about hunting him should have spread across all of the Xuan Yuan Mound.
“Mu Rong Qianji, Mu Rong Qianji…” The tone of that young man was full of viciousness, “You saw that Qin Wushuang, why didn’t you kill him? Could it be that you are the one that advised his daughter to escape from the marriage?”
The bitter resentment in the tone of this young man became even more thicker.
That subordinate, Black Panther gave a long sigh: “Young Master, you should not dwell on these things. Since there is no more news about that Qin Wushuang, why not return to the sect. I will take care of the other matters.”
That young man shook his head: “If he’s living, I must see him, I must see his corpse if he’s dead. If Mu Rong Qianji saw them at this place, then Qin Wushuang might not be dead! Besides, even if he had died, this matter has not ended. Even if he had died, those mole and crickets of the human countries related to him are still alive! Black Panther, did you take care the things I asked you to?”
Black Panther immediately said: “Young Master, it’s almost ready. I already sent four or five able and trusted aides out to have them spread the rumors through different channels. I believe that these rumors have quickly spread across the Orderly Mountain and the Judge Mountain prefecture like the plague. Perhaps, not long after, these rumors will spread across the entire Xuan Yuan Mound.”
“Good, what did you say?” That Young Master was Luo Ting asked with an indifferent tone.
“Ha ha, I said that Qin Wushuang was able to achieve such great accomplishments in a short period because his sect and his clan had a Divine object. If one could acquire those Divine objects, not to mention in the human countries, even in the Xuan Yuan Mound, it’s enough for him to become an existence where the majority of the martial artists would look up to you. It’s even hopeful to compete in the Heavenly Emperor Mountain.” This Black Panther laughed eerily.
Luo Ting laughed with joy: “Good, this rumor of yours is quite big. Divine object, ha ha. Of course, this is not a lie. Qin Wushuang carries that demonic bow and arrow hence it should evoke everyone’s imagination even more. I can imagine that in less than a month, the martial artists of the Xuan Yuan Mound, those poor people will rush towards the human countries like locusts. Ha Ha, Qin Wushuang… Soon you will understand, to the Xuan Yuan Mound, you are only a parvenu, a pitiful tiny individual. Even if I just move a finger, it’s enough to make you fall into the eternal abyss!”
“Luo…Luo…” Rage burned inside Qin Wushuang’s heart violently. If a voice from his mind told him to calm down, he would rise out of control to kill.
Without question, this person must be Luo Ting, fiancée to Mu Rong Xu! Qin Wushuang never imagined that this Luo Ting was this narrow-minded and had use such despicable means to seek revenge!
While Qin Wushuang worked hard to suppress the anger inside him, he heard that Luo Ting speak again: “Black Panther, search again, and see if you can find any traces.”
“Yes…”
Qin Wushuang squeezed his fists tightly since he had to restrain himself, restrain! This was the thought he kept telling himself. For this Black Panther and Luo Ting, either of them would be considered incredible elite warrior. Alone, even with the assistance of the Graceful Spiritual Bow, Qin Wushuang would not be able to kill them.
This time, he could not afford to lose. Once one had escaped, to him, it would be a disaster. The Heavenly Luo Daoist sect would stomp flat the Eastwood Qin and the Stargaze Palace!
“Luo Ting!” Rage ignited violently inside Qin Wushuang, “One day, I will pay you back ten times for this!”
Qin Wushuang knew that he had to abandon his current plans. His top priority was to rush back to the human countries, without another moment of hesitation.
It was because once the rumors had spread, as Luo Ting had said, large group of martial artists would rush into the Human Countries like locusts!
By that time, the Stargaze Palace would be in danger, and the Eastwood Qin would face a crisis!
With this thought, burning with impatience, Qin Wushuang only wanted to fly back to the human countries! Return to his family!
