Refining the Mountains and Rivers

It wasn’t Blue Wave.

It wasn’t that Qin Yu looked down on him. But as far as Qin Yu had seen so far, this kid didn’t have the qualifications to use deathsworn, nor did he have the courage to make such a bold move.

But if it was someone else, who could it be? Since he came to Adversity Peak City, he hadn’t entangled himself with anyone before he arrived at Nine Nether Pagoda. If there were some people that weren’t satisfied with him, it might be those two demon women that tried to entice him and failed.

But if they were to hunt him down with deathsworn because of something so minor, and including two Demon General level warriors in the group…hoho, that would be too ridiculous.

Mm? That wasn’t right, there was still one more person!

An image appeared in Qin Yu’s mind, someone with very sharp facial features that were jumbled up into a tough yet beautiful mess. It was the woman he brushed past on the eighth floor of Nine Nether Pagoda, someone he almost pushed to the ground and ‘ravaged’.

Could it be her? Since this matter had already occurred, once he removed all other possibilities, this was the only remaining answer.

Qin Yu’s complexion turned a little ugly. Although her expression from before she left said that she wouldn’t let things end so easily, he never thought that she would be so cruel and merciless, and that her methods would be so direct and brutal.

If it weren’t for his strength, he feared he would have been pulled down into a grave by those deathsworn.

As he recalled how those two Demon General level deathsworn had chosen suicide when they realized something was off, his eyes clouded over.

He wasn’t afraid of trouble; he could simply solve it when it appeared. But this sort of inexplicable and random trouble that came out of nowhere was too disgusting.

Face was something that mattered in the abyss world and the living world. No matter how beautiful she was, if she wanted to take his life, it was best if she prayed never to encounter him, otherwise he would teach her what it was like to be stomped into the ground.

Qin Yu coldly smiled.

He circled around a few times. After determining that he wasn’t being tailed by anyone, he returned to the inn.

During this day, Old Fox and Black Astral hadn’t been lazing about either. They both inquired into useful news.

For instance, the City Lord Blue Sea’s little brother Blue Wave had returned to Adversity Peak City.

For instance, Blue Wave invited his guards to a banquet but had suffered an assassination attempt by outsiders. As a result, all of his guards had died due to poison and Blue Wave himself had also been poisoned, and was now confined in his room, not having appeared since then. The City Lord was furious because of this, and after catching the poisoner, he had him executed.

Of course, this was news that the two old demons deliberately chose to present to Qin Yu, because they thought he needed to know about it. There was also a bunch of other fragmented information. After Qin Yu patiently listened to it, he gradually gained an understanding of Adversity Peak City. He also started to understand the reason why Feature arranged for him to come here.

Nightmare Clan…hehe…it really was related to them…however, if he wanted to achieve this, it would be filled with layer upon layer of difficulties.

Even with his current level of strength and with Old Fox and Black Astral helping him, if he wasn’t careful then he would suffer a cruel death.

He also needed to be careful. At least for now he had no plans of getting involved. Of course, there was another key factor that allowed him to make this decision. It was that he had already found another way to achieve his goal!

At the very least, there was a high possibility!

It was instinctual for someone to seek advantages while avoiding harm. While this would result in losing a massive amount of demon crystals, when he compared it to the potential dangers he might face in taking the other route, it simply didn’t matter at all.

While Old Fox and Black Astral were worth trusting, when it involved the Nightmare Ancestral Land, the fewer people knew the better it was.

It was never wrong to be discreet.

Qin Yu only said that he needed to cultivate in Nine Nether Pagoda for some time. He didn’t need to say more for the two old demons to understand.

Nine Nether Pagoda’s prices were astronomically high!

“Sir, do you need demon crystals? We still have some. If you have a need for anything, please ask freely.” Old Fox smiled as he said.

Black Astral nodded respectfully.

Qin Yu lightly coughed. “Right now, our interests are the same. So I won’t be polite if I need demon crystals. But…” he paused for a moment before saying, “I’m afraid we don’t have enough.”

Old Fox and Black Astral’s faces stiffened.

The two were considered wealthy even among Demon Commanders. Even though they hadn’t done exact calculations, if they had to roughly add up their demon crystals, they had at least a billion.

That’s right, while Nine Nether Pagoda required astonishing expenses…this was a billion demon crystals. Taking out a few piles and forming mountains to play in wouldn’t be a problem.

This still wasn’t enough?

Old Fox hesitated for a moment and cautiously asked, “Sir, may I ask if you requested some extra services in Nine Nether Pagoda?”

He regretted it as soon as he finished speaking. Nine Nether Pagoda was a holy land of cultivation and was recognized as such by the various great demon tribes of the abyss. It was the best place for them to temper their souls.

But at the same time, it was a cave of ecstasy that ate people and didn’t even spit out the bones. They were said to possess countless tricks and games, and as long as someone imagined it, they could live out any carnal fantasy they so desired.

Of course, the prices were equally shocking!

Not to mention whether or not Qin Yu was truly wallowing in it, even if it were true…it wasn’t something flattering to hear!

Black Astral glared at Old Fox and tried to fix the situation, “Sir, there is no need to worry. Let us deal with the demon crystal problem. We will surely satisfy you.”

Qin Yu’s lips twitched. “It’s nothing as ridiculous as you think. I need to stay on the eighth floor of Nine Nether Pagoda for some time, and I don’t know how long it will be. In short, it’s okay to prepare as many demon crystals as possible.” He rubbed his forehead, “Try to find a solution for this issue. I have to go into seclusion for some time so I don’t have the spare energy to get distracted.”

The two old demons respectfully nodded. As for whether they believed Qin Yu, only they knew, and Qin Yu wasn’t bothered enough to explain things again. After a moment, he said, “There’s another matter…consider it finished. Leave for now, I will be taking a rest.”

Concerning that vicious woman, although Qin Yu believed he wasn’t at fault, he still felt it was a bit shameful. Was he supposed to tell people that he wanted her as soon as he saw her, and she probably felt the same? And then she hated him because of that and sent people to kill him…?

That was too hilarious!

Whatever. If that woman decided to stop here, he might be benevolent and forget about this matter.

Otherwise…hum hum, he would add the old debt together with the new debt.

Although he said he was resting, he only stayed for a short period of time. He didn’t even meet with Mian Ya before he turned around and soared towards Nine Nether Pagoda.

While he had a brief contact with the Nightmare Ancestral Land, who knew what sort of accidents could occur in the future?

He should try to turn this connection into something substantial as soon as possible.

He traveled to Nine Nether Pagoda with familiar ease. When he was about to walk in, his complexion suddenly changed and his eyes darkened. He saw a person. To be precise, it was a woman. She had a tall physique and exuded a natural momentum.

As if sensing Qin Yu’s gaze, the woman turned her head and looked over. Their eyes met briefly before she turned away and vanished into Nine Nether Pagoda.

Qin Yu’s lips curved up into a cold smile. Although she put on a calm demeanor, showing almost no change in emotion, Qin Yu had still noticed the small changes in her facial features.

It really was that wicked girl!

Nine Nether Pagoda considered earning demon crystals to be their highest priority. So whether it was related to the Nightmare Ancestral Land or not, it was essentially a service business. And a service business always followed the principle of putting the customer first.

If there was one class of people that were placed higher than others…that was their top guests!

Guests who spent more demon crystals were provided superior service. There was no questioning this logic.

When Qin Yu watched that wicked girl walk into Nine Nether Pagoda, she showed something similar to an identity card to the person guiding her. Then, she was immediately invited to enter a special VIP suite.

It was impossible for her to wait in line. Moreover, she had special one-to-one service. And the demon woman serving her behind the counter was obviously of a higher level.

The reason Qin Yu knew about this was because he was also led in. To be exact, it wasn’t a VIP card.

After he passed the qualifications verification, the crystal card he received was what that wicked girl showed the Nine Nether Pagoda demon worker.

Originally, Qin Yu was thinking that he would forget about it if she decided to give up here. But when their eyes met and he saw her indifferent expression, he immediately fell disgruntled. He sneered inwardly and walked in.

What should he do? He certainly wouldn’t do anything. This was Nine Nether Pagoda. Do you want to cause trouble? Go ahead and try it. I will teach you a lesson soon enough. The Nightmare Clan, one of the top ten royal families in the abyss, are not so easy to provoke!

The woman who walked in first turned around and glanced at Qin Yu. Although she didn’t speak, her cold eyes were full of warning.

Qin Yu understood her meaning. He laughed inwardly. You don’t want me to come close to you? I don’t want to either. Until he figured out the reason for it, he didn’t want to experience that sudden impulsive desire that nearly swallowed his mind again.

Turning around, Qin Yu moved towards a faraway counter. The demon woman behind the counter smiled in delight and said, “Honored guest, how do you do? Is there anything I can help you with?”

Qin Yu handed over a crystal card. As he was thinking about what to say, he suddenly thought of something. His eyes sparkled and he smiled, saying, “Eighth floor. Help me open a room.”

Shua –

An ice cold pair of eyes fell onto his face like a knife.
