Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Knowing that he could no longer avoid it, Qin Yu sighed to himself. If he didn't show himself, regardless of what punishment Blood Flag sustained in the end, he would come out of this with more enemies.

In the end, this situation was all because of him and everyone knew that he was still alive.

Would Blood Flag allow him to sit on the side and enjoy watching the movie play before him? Hehe, things were not so simple.

You can obviously come out and stop the situation from becoming worse. If you still refuse to come out, you will be offending a lot of people! It was easy to see the reasoning behind this and Qin Yu did not want to see such an outcome either.

Regardless of the background of Ye Qin and Ye Ziling, they showed him mercy and kindness by coming here today.

With so many enemies in the capital, pushing away those who were kind to him would only put him in a situation where everyone was an enemy to him.

If he was strong enough, he would not need to be concerned with so much. After all, strength always took the first position.

The West Desolate capital was right in front of him and even Rulers were chess pieces - what about him? He had to be careful to avoid dangers.

Shoosh!

The air shifted slightly and Qin Yu stepped out and cupped his hands together, "Greetings to the main generals. Thank you for helping me today."

Ye Ziling scoffed rudely and he took a step back. His expression was cold but he heaved a sigh of relief internally. Although he had made preparations, even he himself would not have been able to bear the consequences of today's incident.

His eyes swept across Qin Yu and there was a subtle flicker in his eyes while his expression

was calm.

Ye Qin felt that it was pitiful. He wanted things to become chaotic and have the Later Ye Family and Blood Flag's complicated backing clash…

Ye Qin looked at the Darkness Ruler with a neutral expression. There wasn't much hostility and there was even some admiration. He was a smart man.

Smart people would live longer in this world and he would be a more attractive investment.

From this angle, the Darkness Ruler had made a calculated move by showing himself in this manner.

"Cough! Blood Flag, you have seen the man. Stop trying to pull any more tricks and come with us."

Jiang Chengzi remained expressionless and he did not show his intentions. As his gaze swept past Qin Yu, he silently thought to himself that Hundred Saint had made a good judgment with this man.

Under the black robe, Qin Yu frowned. He looked up and met Blood Flag's gaze.

"You are not too bad."

"Thank you for the praise."

"Although you look very calm and you do not show any emotions, I have killed countless men in my life, taking risks and dangers. With so much experience, I am very sensitive…you really want to kill me."

It wasn't a question nor an interrogation, but a narration that painted the current picture.

Qin Yu frowned but did not reply. Sometimes, silence was the best reply.

That's right, he wanted to kill this man!

Ever since he entered the Peach Garden and met Peachy, his cultivation had soared very quickly.

He dared to say that he could be fearless in the Vast Brightness World. At least, he did not have to fear anyone who was below the rank of Ruler.

Afterwards, he killed the Darkness Ruler and got the Darkness Crown. With Eye of Eternal Night and the Divine Nation…everything was slowly making Qin Yu more confident.

However, after he entered the West Desolate, he did not do much but he suddenly felt like he had been dropped into a dangerous abyss. He had so many enemies hidden in the dark.

All of them wanted him to die!

If they had a deep grudge with him, Qin Yu would be able to understand. However, even now, Qin Yu did not know who wanted him dead.

Although his expression was calm, Qin Yu was fuming internally. A violent killing intent was boiling in his heart and became stronger each instant.

He needed a place to vent it!

Blood Flag was the first person to jump out and fully reveal himself in front of Qin Yu…in Qin Yu's opinion, no one could be forgiven if they wanted to kill him. The grudge from both sides would never be resolved unless one person died!

It would be dangerous to kill Blood Flag but if he had the chance, Qin Yu would not hesitate to do so. At the very least, he wanted the higher ups in the capital to know that he was not a chess piece that could be discarded easily.

As for the consequences that would arise because of this…was Qin Yu going to pretend that the incident today didn't happen and Blood Flag could take his body and wave it like a war flag? Hehe, from Blood Flag's current gaze at him, Qin Yu knew that he was a mad man.

The failure of the assassination today was just the beginning! Blood Flag already saw Qin Yu as prey that had to be killed.

If Blood Flag wanted to kill him, Qin Yu would kill him instead…he could consider the consequences after he killed Blood Flag!

Since Li Zhouyi managed to drag him to the West Desolate, he should be capable. At least, he would have some powerful backing. If Qin Yu performed well, he would be looked highly upon too and he would gain recognition.

Qin Yu did not believe that Li Zhouyi would leave him be and watch him be crushed alive.

The lack of movement today did not mean that he would remain passive in the future too.

Blood Flag gave a hearty laugh as though he saw something incredibly fascinating. The Darkness Ruler truly wanted to kill him…and he dared to!

He did not know how many people had wanted to kill him in this life, but this was the first time anyone dared to do so.

He had to get rid of such an interesting person as soon as possible. After all, the mad man did not want to die either.

Qin Yu dared to kill him and Blood Flag also sensed some threat. Therefore, his best option would be to make the first move and kill his opponent.

As such, there was a flicker of crimson red in Blood Flag's eyes in the next instant. It was very tiny and subtle and it could not be noticed even if one stood in front of Blood Flag. However, it was very unnoticeable that his aura was currently changing rapidly.

But Qin Yu felt a very dangerous aura!

Since he had been certain that Blood Flag did not give up on the thought of killing him, Qin Yu had kept his guard up against the mad man.

As such, Qin Yu noticed the redness in Blood Flag's eyes that instant. His hair stood up on his back. Although he did not know what Blood Flag was going to do, he had a feeling that he was in grave danger.

Run!

This was the first thought in his mind. All of a sudden, the scene in front of him turned crimson red.

The crimson red color in Blood Flag's eyes suddenly extended to fill Qin Yu's entire world, dyeing everything a blood red color.

An endless chill erupted from his body through the crimson red world. It spread through every inch of muscle and flesh in him, instantly robbing Qin Yu of the control of his own body.

This robbery was not targeted at his physical body but his soul!

At this point, Qin Yu could only control his thoughts and that was it!

As such, he could only take on the role of a 'spectator' as he saw his own hand rise to rub his forehead. Even though this movement was slow, the energy in this hand was enough to cause his mind to explode in an instant.

Qin Yu instantly thought of Hundred Saint's reminder to him - Blood Flag's best skill was that he could control a person's consciousness!

So this was what he meant, it was truly strong.

Chicken overlord stood on Qin Yu's shoulder shriveled up into a ball. His feathers were dazzling and people would be mesmerized by him. His majestic body was shrinking slowly, and it made him look really cute now.

At some unknown point in time, his eyes had turned bloodshot as though he was soaked in a blood bath for too long. His head was tilted to one side and he was as stiff as a board. The bloodshot eyes were fixed on Qin Yu's neck and he was clenching his body so tightly, his veins popped out.

All of a sudden, chicken overlord jerked his head up and snapped with his beak sharply. The movement was so quick; the air parted and there was a sharp gasp.

Smack!

His beak that was as rigid as stone was suddenly held shut by a hand, preventing it from struggling out of the grasp.

Qin Yu slowly loosened his grip and he grabbed chicken overlord off his shoulder while he was still struggling. As he dangled chicken overlord in front of him, he shook his head and sighed, "How embarrassing that my own pet was controlled by another person and almost got devoured by him."

As soon as he said this, his eyes beneath the black robe shone brightly and he glared at Blood Flag, "Thankfully, you are not uninjured too."

Blood Flag grunted and blood poured out of his nose. His expression instantly turned pale!

Rage gushed out of his chest and he glowered, "No way!"

He was in complete disbelief that his real killer move was destroyed directly. He even suffered a backlash.

This had never happened before ever since he started cultivating. It was the first time this had happened!

His opponent was the Darkness Ruler who was not even at the Ruler realm.

"Enough!" Ye Ziling pressed his palm forward. There was a 'bam' in the air and Blood Flag fell to the ground with a thud. The ground below him shattered.

Ye Qin wore an ugly expression too and he warned, "Don't go overboard Blood Flag and stop things here. Otherwise, I will not pardon you!"

The two main generals of the Guard Division in the capital were present but Blood Flag still attacked the Darkness Ruler. Although he was unsuccessful and suffered a backlash in the end, this showed complete disregard for Ye Qin and Ye Ziling.

This was why Ye Ziling was so harsh in suppressing Blood Flag and it also explained Ye Qin's attitude.

They had to take such actions or their reputation would be compromised. How were they going to command their troops in the future? Their statuses in the capital would also be shaken…if they couldn't even complete such a small task, how would they take on great missions in the future?

Blood Flag was pressed down on the ground but he glared at Qin Yu. He shut his eyes solemnly and when he opened them again, he said, "Well, I will admit my defeat today, but I will remember you."
