Chapter 524A – Utter Trash
The nine great suns shined bright above, but they didn’t give off a blinding feeling nor did they emanate a burning heat. Rather, there was just an endless warmth. Bathing beneath the sunlight made one feel as if they were soaking in a hot spring, comfortable from head to toe, with faint traces of mild heat constantly flowing into their body.
Qin Yu silently felt this warm aura constantly spread throughout his body and his heart shook. This kind of strange energy could actually nourish the body, magic power, and soul. Although it was only an incredibly small amount and the amount of increase couldn’t even be observed, if it accumulated over a long period of time the increase would be significant.
Moreover, this entire Holy Land small world possessed a heaven and earth spiritual strength so thick that it nearly condensed into mist. With such a wonderful cultivating environment, it was no surprise that countless people wracked their minds to figure out how to join the Demonic Path, not even hesitating to become a servant.
“The Demonic Path Holy Land forbids people from causing a commotion. Everyone must follow directions and enter the waiting area. Once everyone has arrived, you will be brought away.”
Foreign Affairs Protector Xin frowned, an obviously gloomy look in his eyes. The higher ups had decided to recruit almost 2000 new disciples. Since they had their own considerations for doing so, Protector Xin naturally didn’t dare to express his dissatisfaction about this. But, the sudden increase in workload had left him rushing about everywhere these past days and his mood wasn’t any better for it.
Originally, he had only prepared for 200 new disciples. Now that the number had increased ten times over, even if he was some freak with six arms and three heads he still wouldn’t have enough time to prepare for all of them in just several days.
Without any other options, Protector Xin could only temporarily allocate some dwellings that were supposed to be given to disciples who had displayed an outstanding performance.
For this, he had been complaining the entire time.
If this group of disciples had anyone that stood out, Protector Xin might feel a little better about the situation. At least he could consider it as planning in advance and it might be useful in the future.
But just take a look! Everyone he saw was worthless, simply horrible to look at. He couldn’t imagine why the lords would receive these fools. To do so would be lowering the overall quality of the entire Demonic Path!
The truth was that this was the attitude held by the vast majority of cultivators in the Demonic Path. Thus, after everyone overcame their initial shock and excitement, they saw that numerous eyes filled with ill intent were glaring at them, and their high-spirited and heroic poses suddenly shrank away and they obediently landed on the ground.
The first three batches of people had already arrived and the very first arrivals had already waited for over two hours. From this point it could be seen that no one placed these new disciples in high regards.
Qin Yu laughed inwardly. Sure enough, bullying the weak and fearing the strong was a fine traditional virtue. Even within the Demonic Path, it was widely inherited. He closed his eyes and pretended not to see anything. At the same time, he thought about what he should do after entering the Demonic Path.
The truth was that the main idea had already been set. Qin Yu wanted to rise as soon as possible and gain enough authority and status to become a prominent figure in the Demonic Path. To do that, he would need to display a sufficiently outstanding performance. Thus, he couldn’t remain low profile or anything like that. But there was a hurdle in his plan. With the demon blood crystal incident, many people were secretly plotting against him and observing him from the shadows. If he tried to do anything high profile he might create an opening for others to grab onto a weakness of his.
He would have to carefully consider this.
Within the Demonic Path, there weren’t many kind or merciful people. If the demon blood crystal was exposed, Qin Yu was sure he would immediately be dismembered and then divided cleanly away.
It had to be known that the demon blood crystal was still in his body. Although it nourished his body at every moment, at this current absorption rate if he didn’t have eight or ten years then he wouldn’t be able to fully refine it.
This was really something that left one happy but also left them with a headache!
Time slowly passed. Qin Yu was awakened by a thunderous sound. The last batch of cultivators had arrived. He looked up towards the skies. Vast ripples were spreading out through space and a giant disc was being squeezed through.
In the next moment, the people on the disc all revealed looks of shock. Some cultivators on the ground revealed looks of haughty pride, completely forgetting that they were in the same situation not too long ago.
But Qin Yu wasn’t in the mood to put on an appearance as if he had seen everything before. He looked around and soon found the siblings Duan San’er and Duan Jieyu. Then, he frowned, a cold intent in his eyes.
As the fifth batch of cultivators flew down from the disc, Duan San’er’s figure shook and he almost toppled down from the air. Luckily, he was supported by Duan Jieyu and barely made it to the ground, avoiding the pitiful fate of plunging to his death before he even stepped foot on the Holy Land.
Protector Xin’s eyes twitched. Although this person only wore the clothing of a servant, as servants of the solemn Demonic Path Holy Land, they should all be peak characters in their own right. Yet, someone so disgraceful had managed to mix their way in.
“Humph!” With a cold snort, Protector Xin told his assistant to handle the following matters. Then, he turned and walked away.
If he watched any longer he feared that his blood pressure would shoot through the roof and the blood vessels in his brain would explode!
Duan San’er’s face was flushed red with shame. “Master, I’ve disgraced you.”
Duan Jieyu tried to explain, “Big brother, some people clearly injured you intentionally…”
Duan San’er shouted in a low voice, “Stop talking!”
He had already guessed that the reason he was targeted was because of Qin Yu. But right now, his master had just entered the Demonic Path so it was best not to cause unnecessary complications for him. The fewer incidents that arose, the better it was.
But some people weren’t willing to let things end like this.
A new disciple stepped forward. He coldly said, “Junior-apprentice brother Yao Bin, right? Your servants are really insolent. They dared to provoke me, so I decided to allow my subordinates to lightly punish them today. I hope that you can discipline them well in the future, because things won’t end so simply next time!”
With an aggressive tone, this person maintained an arrogant and lofty attitude.
Behind him was a bald and tall fellow. He grinned and revealed a mouthful of shiny white teeth, an uncaring expression on his face.
These words instantly attracted the eyes of many people. After a brief moment of surprise, they were all stirred to excitement.
No matter the reason, it was always fun to watch something happen. Moreover, after entering the Demonic Path, as cultivators who entered the same year, they were doomed to become competitors.
If these two people came into conflict today, they might be severely punished. Wouldn’t it be nice if two competitors were removed ahead of time?
Brother Yao Bin, hurry and fight! This person has already come knocking on your door; can you still endure it?
Erupt with all your power and punch his face in! I’m rooting for you!
Duan San’er hurriedly said, “Master, it was only a minor wound. There is no need for you to care about it.”
Dian Jieyu bit her lips, her eyes filling with anger. How was this a minor wound? If it weren’t for her big brother responding quickly enough he would have been kicked out of the transmission disc.
That was the same as dying!
Qin Yu\'s keen senses discovered that flash of urgency in this other person’s eyes.
So it really was deliberate!
After the Qi Family, some people couldn’t hold themselves in and decided to move against him?
Today’s plan wasn’t too profound or clever. But, young people tended to be proud and arrogant and easily moved to anger. If a battle were to erupt between fellow disciples on the first day, no matter what the reason was, he guessed that things wouldn’t end too well for him.
This person must have obtained some kind of promise that nothing would happen to him if he were to stir up trouble. If Qin Yu had some weakness grasped, that wouldn’t be good for him.
Qin Yu’s thoughts raced. Once he thought everything through, his expression calmed down. His gaze was deep and indifferent, “Senior-apprentice brother Gong, right? I have no idea whose dog you are acting as today, but sorry, I believe I must disappoint you, because I have no intention of coming into conflict with you. But, I will remember you. Later on there will be many opportunities for us fellow disciples to get to know each other better. What does senior-apprentice brother Gong think?”
Gong Zhen’s complexion stiffened and anger rose in his eyes. He clenched his teeth and prepared to attack and force Qin Yu to break the rules together with him. But, when he saw Qin Yu turn and walk towards a Demonic Path cultivator, he wavered for a moment before finally giving up.
“This senior-apprentice brother, if I were to attack just now, what would have happened?”
The Demonic Path cultivator that was questioned revealed a strange look in his eyes. After a brief hesitation he said, “New disciples that break the rules have always been severely punished. If you attacked, the best result would have been to suffer 50 paddles and you would also have had to stay in prison for some time.”
Qin Yu cupped his hands together, “Thank you senior-apprentice brother for informing me.”
This person chuckled. “There is no need to thank me. You should think about just who you offended first, otherwise you won’t have any peaceful future days.”
This person was unexpectedly kind. Qin Yu nodded and remembered his appearance. If this person was sent to greet a batch of ‘out-of-the-ordinary’ new disciples, then he likely wasn’t doing so well in the Demonic Path. If there was a chance in the future, Qin Yu didn’t mind giving him a hand up.
Zhang Xuan was also curious. Why would a newly arrived boy be targeted by others? Although he gave Qin Yu a reminder, he didn’t think that this somewhat calm boy would have a good ending. If there was someone that dared to scheme and plot on the very first day, the powers behind them had to be considerable. This boy could avoid these plots once or twice, but could he do so forever?
Bad luck would arrive sooner or later. And, this sort of thing wasn’t a rare occurrence in the Demonic Path. So, he gave Qin Yu a tip, not thinking too much of it. If Zhang Xuan learned that this boy across from him was thinking about supporting him in the future, he likely wouldn’t know whether to laugh or to cry.
