Refining the Mountains and Rivers

"Run! Hurry and run away! We must tell the young master what has happened!" Burning demonic energy, the two Demon Commanders who fought with Cloud Mountain, Cloud River, and Cloud Sky screamed out loud.

Three formidable Demon Commanders had perished one after another in a short period of time. It was no longer possible to kill Qin Yu today. They had to bring this information back no matter what.

To stimulate the power of the Abyssal Gaze numerous times in a row…if they didn't see this with their own eyes, they simply wouldn't have dared to believe it.

They had to let the young master know so he could gather together the strength of the Ancient King's Lineage. They had to do everything in their power to kill Qin Yu while he was in the Nightmare Beast Territory. They could not allow him to survive!

The Demon Commander across from Old Fox sent him flying away with a punch. Then, he turned and fled without hesitation, instantly burning his demonic energy.

Whoosh –

With the sound of splitting air, he soared off.

Cloud Mist screamed, "Stop him!"

She lifted a hand and crushed a demon crystal. Demonic light shot out, instantly overtaking the fleeing Demon Commander and piercing through his body.

"Ahh!"

With a pitiful cry, the Demon Commander blew apart. Then, he divided into dozens of blood phantoms that shot into different directions, their speed even faster than before.

Cloud Mist bit her lips, unwillingness on her face. But, these people had clearly prepared themselves.

The Demon Commander who fought with Old Fox was the one with the strongest life-preserving techniques on his team. And during the battle, he hadn't burned his demonic energy like the others. This was so that if something unexpected happened, he would be able to escape from here and pass on the message…those that could be chosen by the Ancient King's Lineage to enter the Nightmare Beast Territory were all genuine elites!

"Die!"

"Die!"

With loud roars, the two remaining Ancient King's Lineage Demon Commanders fired into Cloud Mountain, Cloud River, and Cloud Sky. Their auras started to wildly erupt.

They knew that they wouldn't be able to escape, so they chose to self-detonate without hesitation and drag these three people into the grave with them.

Cloud Mountain, Cloud River, and Cloud Sky were all frightened. These scoundrels from the Ancient King's Lineage would die without a doubt, but they hadn't lived long enough yet.

However, both sides were extremely close to each other and the enemy had resolved themselves to die together with them. There was no longer any time to avoid this.

At this moment the two charging Demon Commanders unexpectedly stiffened.

Black Astral cried out loud and then sent the two people flying away with a punch. Next, a terrifying explosion resounded in the air, causing the shaken space to distort even further.

It was over!

Six Demon Commanders from the Ancient King's Lineage had come, each one of them possessing tyrannical strength. Amongst them, the leader who controlled the Hand of Nightmare had even touched the threshold of the King realm.

When these six people joined forces, they were an incomparably potent strength in the Nightmare Beast Territory. But now, besides one person who used a blood explosion secret art, the other five had all died miserable deaths.

Even if the Ancient King's Lineage was formidable and had a deep background, losing five Demon Commanders in one battle would still harm their roots.

This could even be called an unpredicted record of success that the Old King's Lineage had experienced versus the Ancient King's Lineage. But Cloud Mist had no look of joy on her face. Instead, there was only worry.

This was because someone from the Ancient King's Lineage had managed to run away in the end. If so, information related to Qin Yu would definitely be exposed.

At that time Qin Yu would welcome an all-out hunt from the entire Ancient King's Lineage!

The reason this battle was so easily won, killing five Demon Commanders in the process, was that Qin Yu had been able to continuously use the Abyssal Gaze.

But Cloud Mist would have preferred if Qin Yu had not exposed his strength…his bloodline was far stronger than the Clan Elder had imagined…

Using the Abyssal Gaze many times while suffering almost no backlash from it was something that not even the late King was able to achieve.

After all, each time one used the Abyssal Gaze – the heaven-defying power that froze the will and soul – it would produce astonishing losses.

Cloud Mist didn't want to inquire into how Qin Yu had accomplished this. But without a doubt, this would be a fishbone stuck in the Ancient King's Lineage's throat.

At this moment, Qin Yu spread out his hands. A blood red light was held in his palm. It struggled as it tried to run away.

Cloud Mist's complexion changed, "This is…"

Qin Yu said, "It's the blood energy of the Demon Commander who fled. I caught it just now. With this guiding the way, we can find the person who wants to kill me."

Ice cold killing intent surged in his eyes.

Someone wanted his life, so what should he do? The best solution was of course to eliminate the other party. With that, everything would be safe.

Cloud Mist widened her eyes, "You let him leave on purpose?"

Seeing Qin Yu nod, she shouted out, "Qin Yu, you are insane! Do you know that once news of your powers is revealed, the Ancient King's Lineage will not hesitate to pay any price to kill you!"

Qin Yu smiled and pressed his hands together. "Steady, stay steady. Even if I hadn't let him go, do you think that the Ancient King's Lineage would let me go?"

Seeing Cloud Mist's stunned expression, he continued to say, "In fact, from the moment those people from the Ancient King's Lineage arrived, they were doomed to never let me off. In that case, of course I have to take the initiative and cut them off first."

"If I kill the people that want to kill me, the world will become happy and beautiful…there's no problem with this logic, right?"

Cloud Mist was speechless, but she couldn't help but acknowledge that Qin Yu was being reasonable…the Ancient King's Lineage would never let him off….

But this was the Ancient King's Lineage. Even the strong Clan Elder had only been able to patiently endure it when facing their imperious and aggressive manner.

Could Qin Yu really resist them?

Seeing the complex emotions written across her face, Qin Yu didn't bother to guess at her thoughts. He stretched out a hand and pointed a finger, "Let's go. The one leading the way has run far away by now; it's time we follow."

…

Outside the cave, the air nearly froze. 13 terrifying nightmare beast kings nearly blotted out the skies with their massive bodies.

The Giant Alligator King had a pale complexion. As his eyes fell on Qi Zhen's body, he couldn't help but reveal a burning heat in his eyes. He could feel an incomparably formidable aura from this youth…this was the Nightmare King's strength!

Many, many years ago, when he was just a common giant crocodile, he had witnessed the scene of the late Nightmare King stepping into the Nightmare Beast Territory.

Although the Nightmare King resembled a common demon, the powerful demonic energy surging around him was like a great sun, recklessly burning away everything near him.

As long as he wanted to, he could even burn the entire Nightmare Beast Territory into ashes with ease!

If the Giant Alligator King could seize this strength, perhaps he could break through his current shackles and truly enter the King boundary!

Then, he could lead the entire nightmare beast race and rid themselves from the control of the Nightmare Clan. They would become a true, supreme ruler of the abyss!

This temptation was great…but the Giant Alligator King was even more aware that a youth who possessed the strength of the Nightmare King had to have a high status within the Nightmare Clan.

If he were to attack him, he feared that the Nightmare Clan would tear apart the contract and countless powerhouses would enter the Nightmare Beast Territory…he didn't dare to take this risk, because if he lost, all that awaited him and the Nightmare Beast Territory would be utter destruction!

"The nightmare beast race has a contract with the Nightmare Clan. The kings of the various tribes cannot attack the Nightmare Clansmen, but at the same time they cannot hunt the beast kings! Yet some time ago, you killed the Ant King, even taking its crystal nucleus. You must give an explanation for this no matter what!" A nightmare beast king roared in anger, its terrifying voice ringing through the air.

"Hand over the murderer!"

"Those that kill beast kings must die!"

"Only their blood can extinguish the anger of the nightmare beast race!"

The nightmare beast kings roared in anger, their wild auras shaking the skies and tearing open the earth. The atmosphere was blazing hot, as if the flames of war would ignite at any moment.

Clear Sea and the other Demon Commanders all had dignified complexions as they complained again and again in their hearts.

Although they had already thought things would become troublesome, they never imagined that almost all the nightmare beast kings would come here and besiege them.

If a battle truly erupted, none of them would leave here alive today.

Qi Zhen had a calm expression. He lightly said, "Could you beast kings be wanting to kill us?" He looked at the Giant Alligator King, a faintly mocking light in his eyes

This caused the Giant Alligator King to become incensed. Yet even in his anger, he couldn't help but feel dread.

This Nightmare King descendant had to have something he was relying on, otherwise why would he reveal such an attitude?

Like he thought, wanting to capture his bloodline was a nearly impossible matter.

As this thought appeared, the Giant Alligator roared into the skies. The aura of a top class beast king spread out, suppressing all directions.

The other nightmare beast kings calmed down. They looked at the Giant Alligator King…it had to be known that at this time, their suspicions of the Giant Alligator King hadn't been scrubbed away yet.

"Descendant of the Nightmare King, the dignity of the nightmare beast kings cannot be provoked. No matter what, an explanation must be given for the death of a beast king!" A deep and sonorous voice spread through the world, carrying with it an undeniable and strong momentum. "You killed the Ant King – this is an indisputable fact!"
