Refining the Mountains and Rivers

It wasn't only the Golden Eagle King that was so enraged to the point of blowing up. Even the watching nightmare beast kings were completely dumbfounded by what they saw.

They felt as if they were lost in a dream. Could someone tell them how many reverses were still remaining in today's plot?

The sorrowful Giant Alligator King who suffered so many disasters was actually the secret behind-the-scenes manipulator who planned all of this. Just thinking of that caused them to shudder.

"It's not me!" The Giant Alligator King roared, "It's the Golden Eagle King! He intentionally framed me! If I really was the one who killed the Blue Eagle King I would have destroyed his body a long time ago. Why would I carry it with me, even exposing it in front of all of you!"

That's right, the Giant Alligator King couldn't be so stupid.

The Golden Eagle King sneered, "Who knows what other schemes and tricks you still have running through that mind of yours? After all, in order to become the true King, you didn't hesitate to eliminate your bloodline descendants, destroy your own lair, and even join forces with the Nightmare Clan. Anything is possible when it comes to you!"

Uh…if he said things this way, it sounded reasonable.

The Giant Alligator King roared, "I'll kill you!"

Bang –

He tossed away the Blue Eagle King's corpse and shot into the skies!

The Golden Eagle King roared, "I fear you aren't enough!"

In the blink of an eye, two top tier beast kings crazily fought with each other.

At this moment, the Giant Alligator King and Golden Eagle King each considered the other as the person who schemed to kill them.

So when they fought, they naturally didn't hold back. The Beast King Battle Bodies erupted with a terrifying strength that seemed as if the end of times was arriving.

The other nightmare beast kings were attracted by this fierce battle. They were somewhat muddled, unable to figure out exactly what happened.

So they didn't notice the Black Wolf King's stiff expression.

The Blue Eagle King had died. He had unexpectedly died. This wasn't in the original plan.

Damn it, something had gone wrong!

And to be able to kill the Blue Eagle King and send his corpse here, confusing the entire situation, that could only have been 'them'.

Those bastards, they went back on their word. They didn't keep their promise!

But since they could kill the Blue Eagle King, they could easily kill him too. The Black Wolf King's eyes flashed with an ominous light that slowly changed into dejection.

As for exposing everything on his own initiative and resolving the misunderstanding between the two great beast kings…hoho, that was impossible. The Giant Alligator King and Golden Eagle King would tear him to shreds.

Making up for his faults and being given a chance to restart with a clean slate? That was too naïve!

In this situation, even though he knew had been used by 'them', the Black Wolf King could only silently endure it and not reveal anything.

But in truth, someone sensed the subtle changes of mood in the Black Wolf King. That was Qi Zhen.

He was a young master of the Ancient King's Lineage who had awakened the royal bloodline. Even now he was able to maintain an unexpected degree of calm.

He saw the Black Wolf King's changes of emotions. Then, a flash of understanding appeared in his eyes.

Through those expressions, he seemed to have understood something…for instance, who the secret plotter behind all of this was.

But this sort of crucial action hadn't been explained in advance to the Nightmare Clansmen who entered the Nightmare Beast Territory…was this to keep everything a secret and ensure it all went smoothly…or had the person who arranged it in the past suddenly had other thoughts…?

Qi Zhen's lips curved up in a smile. He thought that things were becoming more and more interesting. Then, he might as well enjoy the play.

Mm?

At this time, Qi Zhen furrowed his eyebrows. He looked towards the distance, his eyes becoming especially profound.

If Cloud Mist was here and saw his gaze, she would find it familiar. Because not too long ago, Qin Yu had looked into the distance using this same expression.

"Interesting, how interesting!" Qi Zhen said in a soft voice. He subconsciously licked his lips, "He has such immense strength, it really is worth doing something…perhaps there can be unexpected benefits."

Some distance away from the battlefield where the Giant Alligator King and Golden Eagle King fought, Qin Yu came to a sudden stop. He once again felt that ancient and powerful aura in the distance.

The other party seemed to have sensed his arrival. But it was just that. There wasn't any further reaction.

It seemed the other party was extremely confident in themselves.

Qin Yu took a deep breath, his dark eyes shining with a cold chill. He had no idea who this enemy was, but it wasn't important to him.

Once he determined that this person wanted to kill him, the best choice was to eliminate them ahead of time. This was enough.

"Qin Yu?" Cloud Mist worriedly asked, furrowing her eyebrows.

"I'm fine." Qin Yu smiled. He lifted a hand and grasped forward, "Taking the initiative to attack is better than always being on the defensive...moreover, I feel that things might take a good turn this time."

Seeing Cloud Mist's disbelieving look, Qin Yu raised an eyebrow. "Don't look down on a man's sixth sense. Sometimes it is sharper than a woman's intuition."

Cloud Mist helplessly said, "Can you be a bit more serious? This isn't the time to be joking around."

How come you aren't nervous right now?

Ancient King's Lineage, this was the Ancient King's Lineage. Even though they had slain five formidable Demon Commanders from their side, no one was sure how much strength they still had hidden in the Nightmare Beast Territory.

Qin Yu lightly said, "I am being cautious. Much more cautious than I was in the past…don't worry. Before I complete my wish, I will never die.

"The small talk ends here. Let's hurry along…pick up the pace!"

Whoosh –

Whoosh –

With the sounds of whistling air, the seven sped up even faster, racing towards the aura of the demon ahead.

A moment later, Black Astral's complexion changed. He looked into the distance. The skies seemed normal there, but he could sense a faintly oppressive aura.

"Sir, there are powerhouses fighting…and they are extremely strong!" With Black Astral's strength, if he said 'extremely strong', then it had to be tyrannically so!

Cloud Mist's complexion changed and she looked at Qin Yu. Seeing him nod, her expression became increasingly dignified. The area Qin Yu sensed was up there…and yet Black Astral could feel powerhouses fighting there…it seemed things had become even more chaotic…

"We're almost there, so there's no reason to stop here. Maybe we can pick up a small advantage?" Qin Yu lightly asked.

Black Astral loudly said, "Sir, be careful!"

He didn't try to dissuade him, but instead prepared to risk his life…the upcoming battle was sure to not be easy!

Soon, heaven-shaking rings entered their ears. They could already see the distorted space and collapsing skies. Wild waves of strength gushed out, mixed in with the roars of two top beast kings.

"Giant Alligator King! Golden Eagle King!" Cloud Mist cried out loud, her eyes wide with shock.

She never imagined that the two fighting right now would be the two most formidable beast kings logged in the records of the Nightmare Clan.

Cloud Mountain, Cloud River, and Cloud Sky sucked in a deep breath and came to a stop. They obviously knew how terrifying these two beast kings were. If either of them were to erupt with all their strength, then not even the three of them joining together would be able to stop them!

Old Fox and Black Astral had incomparably dignified expressions.

Only Qin Yu glanced over the Giant Alligator King and Golden Eagle King that were fighting. Then, without pause, his eyes landed on the figure of a young demon standing on the ground.

The other party had clearly sensed his arrival. He had a faint smile on his face as their eyes met.

Qin Yu was expressionless. The deep chill rose in his eyes. He was already sure that the person who wanted to kill him…was this person!

But Qi Zhen actually revealed a strange expression upon seeing Qin Yu. His eyebrows slightly furrowed together, a trace of confusion in his eyes. It was as if he was seeing something unexpected.

He stared at Qin Yu and his frown deepened. Finally, he took a deep breath and suppressed his thoughts.

Accident, it was another accident!

Qi Zhen was sure that from the moment he saw Qin Yu, things had deviated from his previous expectations.

Just…what had happened?

A person who shouldn't have the mark actually had the mark. This seemed like an incoherent mouthful of words, but it proved something extremely strange.

And perhaps this matter could solve the wish he had hidden in his heart for countless years!

Qi Zhen thought for a moment. Then his lips moved. Qin Yu could hear his words resound in his ears, "I am indeed the one who wanted to kill you. But now I have changed my mind…mm, this involves something extremely interesting. If you are willing, we can cooperate.

"Of course, I cannot yet tell you the contents of the cooperation, because I need to determine what exactly is the deal with you."

Qin Yu furrowed his eyebrows. To believe the words of someone who wanted to kill him not too long ago was simply not possible. But for some reason, his intuition told him that Qi Zhen was talking about something important.

After a brief hesitation, Qin Yu nodded.

Qi Zhen looked away. At this moment, these two people that wanted to kill each other from the bottom of their hearts came to an unbelievable decision.

They gave each other a high level of trust. Without a word and just a nod, they had made a determination.

In the end, the Golden Eagle King was not a match for the Giant Alligator King, even if he hid his strength like the Black Wolf King. The reason was simple. They could hide their strength, but the Giant Alligator King did the same. It wasn't as if hiding one's strength was a secret art. They hide, I hide, we all hide.

Hiding was more fun!

In brief, after the Golden Eagle King fought the Giant Alligator King for a time, its aura started to fall. Then it was ruthlessly struck, its golden feathers shattered into countless pieces.

With a scream, it barely managed to force back the Giant Alligator King's Beast King Battle Body. Then the Golden Eagle King turned and ran away…this was shameful and it would certainly lose face, but compared to its life, losing some face wasn't a problem.

The Giant Alligator King roared and chased behind without hesitation. Since it had gone all-out today, it would take advantage of this opportunity and stamp out this hidden danger that was the Golden Eagle King.

As for the Nightmare Clan…it wasn't that he couldn't provoke them right now, but that he didn't want to provoke them right now!

He could already see the faint outline for the path of the true King…all he needed was time. How hateful!

Whoosh –

Whoosh –

With one in front and one behind, two top level beast kings ran away. The remaining beast kings glanced at each other in blank dismay.

What should they do now?
