Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Woosh –

A sword shadow flashed past and Qin Yu appeared beside that clan’s leader. He wore an ugly expression, “I thought you were still going to sit by the side and watch.”

His tone was impatient.

That clan’s leader said, “I was in seclusion cultivating and my perception skills were slower.”

Qin Yu scoffed and did not say anything more. Gritting his teeth, “This old man Bull Dingtian has gone crazy. He came to my Opening Heavens Sword Sect and demanded Bull Bean! You came here just in time; let’s kill this old man together!”

“Kill me?” Bull Dingtian burst out into laughter and his voice boomed through the clouds, “Clan Leader, I didn’t expect that you would be willing to expose your cultivation today. But you are not going to stop me!”

He stepped forward and his eyes were as cold as ice, “Qin Yu, the clan leader can protect you once, but not forever! Hand over Bull Bean and this matter will be settled. Otherwise, I will let you know what despair is.”

Qin Yu snapped, “Old man, she is not here!”

Bull Dingtian scoffed coldly, “Leader, are you sure that you want to battle with me today?”

That clan’s leader frowned and said, “Bull Dingtian, you can leave now.”

“Hmph!”

Bull Dingtian stepped out and vanished.

“Qin Yu, for as long as you don’t hand Bull Bean over, I will stand guard at Swallow Mountain. You can be a turtle in a shell and hide forever!”

His cold laughter echoed through the heavens.

Qin Yu lifted his hand and slashed his sword down, “Old man!”

His anger was boiling!

Kaboom –

A terrifying sword aura sliced the heavens apart.

That clan’s leader said, “Sect Master, don’t be angry. Let’s head down and speak.”

Qin Yu sighed deeply and then nodded.

Shoosh –

The two of them returned to the Opening Heavens Sword Sect.

Hu Zhiming and the others could heave a sigh of relief. They did not dare to gather around but they were all left slightly worried.

Although nothing happened today, Bull Dingtian had been firm with his words.

This was not over.

Number 327 walked over and bowed respectfully, “Clan Leader.”

The clan leader nodded, “You head down. I have some things to discuss with Sect Master Qin.”

Number 327 nodded and turned to leave. However, there was a complicated look in her eyes. Qin Yu could trust her not to divulge a secret, but the clan leader did not have such trust towards her.

Evidently, this was something that people felt troubled about.

“Clan Leader, please sit!”

Qin Yu sighed out loud and he wore an ugly expression.

That clan’s leader nodded but his first words were, “Sect Leader Qin, I will get to the point. Is Bull Bean really not here?”

Qin Yu hesitated for a while and then said, “She is here.” He lifted his head and stared at the clan leader directly in the eyes, “However, I have already told you about Bull Bean before and you have agreed.”

That clan’s leader frowned and thought about it, “Are you certain that you must have her?”

Qin Yu stood his ground, “There is no room to discuss this…I am not afraid of letting you know that I agreed to work for your clan because I hope that I can borrow your strength to fulfill my wishes.

“If you are going to persuade me to give up on Bull Bean today, then the agreement between us is over.”

He had slammed his fist down on the table so directly!

Although it was a good deterrence, it was too crude for King realm cultivators.

However, from this, it could be seen that Qin Yu was getting nervous.

That clan’s leader’s mind spun quickly and he slowly said, “Sect Master Qin, please rest assured, I don’t have such intentions. However, if you are determined to get Bull Bean, you must know that Bull Dingtian will not let you off. I am sure you know how strongly he feels about Bull Bean, as he even lent her his Great Dao Golden Armor in Sky Falling Mountain to aid in her defense.”

Qin Yu’s expression turned uglier. With clenched teeth, he said, “That old man, I will kill him in the future!”

He sighed deeply, “Clan Leader, do you have any ideas?”

That clan’s leader shook his head, “Bull Dingtian is strong, and even if I attack him, I am not sure that I will be able to handle him. This is truly a tough situation.”

He was not lying about this.

With Bull Dingtian’s strength, if he was going to stand guard outside Swallow Mountain, that clan’s leader had to station himself here or Bull Dingtian could strike at any moment.

Even if Qin Yu could escape successfully, the Opening Heavens Sword Sect would be finished. The alliance between the swordsmen in Swallow Mountain would only be a name.

A leader who was forced into a corner and was not able to show himself had no power!

Qin Yu’s face was extremely dark and he fell into deep thought.

A flash of light crossed that clan’s leader’s face. He knew Qin Yu’s secret well.

Back then, during the great battle in the Bounded Void Space, Heavenlifting Master died and True King Qiongji was forced to retreat by Qin Yu. This was the best evidence.

Therefore, the clan leader hoped to fully uncover what Qin Yu was hiding with this incident.

After a moment of silence, Qin Yu sighed deeply. He gritted his teeth and said, “Clan Leader, I will try to break through to the King realm. Once I succeed, I believe that this difficult situation will be gone.”

That clan’s leader’s face changed slightly, “Sect Master Qin, are you serious?” He did not expect this answer at all.

Break through to become a True King!

Qin Yu had only broken through to the Half-King realm after he obtained Sky Falling Mountain’s Great Dao.

How long has it been?

How can he say such a thing?

Does he know fear at all?

No, with his cultivation realm, he could not be oblivious about how hard it was to break through to become a True King.

Furthermore, he was a swordsman, and the difficulty of breaking through was much higher than for other cultivators!

Qin Yu nodded, “Of course I am serious.” He wore a determined look and said in a deep voice, “Although it might be difficult, I am confident, but this will require your help.”

That clan’s leader spoke without a change in his expression, “Sect Master, please tell me.”

Qin Yu said, “I have to borrow the fate of that clan to increase the possibility of success.”

There was silence.

Fate was something that was very hard to ascertain.

However, it was something that could be controlled by that clan.

As spirits of fate of the heavens and earth, they could truly change the fate of a person.

However, the heaven and earth fate required to break through to the True King realm was not something that could be paid for with a jade slip.

That clan’s leader frowned and he slowly spoke, “I have to consider this.”

He looked at Qin Yu, “Sect Master Qin Yu, I trust that you know that the heaven and earth fate is a foundation of my clan and it can not be used easily.”

Qin Yu’s heart jumped. His intuition told him that although the clan leader said that he had to consider this, he had already rejected it. Furthermore, it was a very clear cut rejection with no room to bargain.

Borrowing that clan’s fate to increase the chances of breaking through, the plan had a bad start.

Thinking quickly, Qin Yu nodded, “I can understand the difficulty you are facing.” Gritting his teeth, he said, “If you can agree to it, I promise to deliver a great opportunity for your clan!”

That clan’s leader was silent.

Qin Yu said in a low whisper, “Longevity Species in the Eternal realm!”

Shoosh –

That clan’s leader whipped his head up and he stared at Qin Yu, “Sect Master Qin, are you being serious about this?”

Qin Yu said, “This is my greatest secret so I hope that you will keep it.” He sighed deeply, “Since I mentioned it, I am not afraid of letting you know. I was able to escape Qiongji and Heavenlifting Master back then because of this.”

No wonder!

That clan’s leader finally understood and his eyes shone as his doubts disappeared.

At this moment, he had a rash desire to kill Qin Yu.

Longevity Species, Eternal realm, this was a realm that he had dreamt of for many years. If he could break through, the current plight of that clan would be nothing.

He might even sweep ahead and replace the Great Qin Empire to become the new ruler of this world.

However, in the end, that clan’s leader suppressed this rash thought. In a deep voice, he said, “If Sect Master Qin has something that will move my heart, I will agree to it!”

Everything in this world had its own value; as long as there were enough benefits, the deal could be completed.

Fate was truly the foundation of that clan, but the secret of a Longevity Species…it could be exchanged for that!

Qin Yu said, “I will require some time.”

That clan’s leader said, “No problem, I can wait. I will stay put in Swallow Mountain during this period of time. Bull Dingtian will not have a chance to attack.”

“Thank you, Clan Leader.”

Qin Yu stood up.

Right at this moment, that clan’s leader suddenly said, “I would like to see Bull Bean.”

Qin Yu looked at him and said, “Alright.”

He waved his sleeve and the two of them immediately appeared in the Secret Sword Peak Realm.

That clan’s leader nodded, “Please do not blame me. This is a grave matter and I have to be very careful.”

Qin Yu was expressionless, “I can understand. Is this alright now?”

“Yes.”

Shoosh –

The two of them left directly.

“Clan Leader, please go ahead.” Qin Yu turned and left.

Looking at his back, a dark expression appeared in the eyes of that clan’s leader. He turned and stepped forward, vanishing into thin air.

Number 327 immediately stood up and bowed, “Greetings to Clan Leader.”

“Mm.”

That clan’s leader waved his hand, “Number 327, tell me everything that happened while you were with Qin Yu. Do not leave anything out.”

Number 327 nodded.

Meanwhile, Qin Yu had already started making preparations. His preparations were actually very simple.

“Cough…Sister Feifei, are you awake yet? I have an issue that will require your help!”

He had just waved her off, but when he turned back around to greet her again, he had changed into a completely different person.
