Chapter 769B – Temporary End
Everything was in chaos.
Throughout the Shadow Clan, everyone had terrified expressions as they looked at where the Time Altar was.
Even that Shadow Clan Patriarch who was able to hide his emotions so well still couldn’t help but feel a cold chill shoot through his heart.
Cracks appeared in space, all of them spewing out a seven-colored light. While it looked beautiful, they emitted a terrifying aura that proved they would destroy anything they touched.
Because this was the power of time!
After remaining quiet for countless years, the Time Altar that had never made a peep of trouble before was now like a volcano that would erupt at any moment.
And the Shadow Clan’s dwelling was on the opening of that volcano.
Without any doubt, if the Time Altar released this strength, the entire Shadow Clan dwelling would be thoroughly erased from Dragon City.
This would be a calamity for the Shadow Clan. It would even create permanent damage that they would never be able to recover from!
Just what had happened?
This was the thought circulating in every Shadow Clan cultivator’s heart. If they really wanted to find what might be the new variable here, it would only be that mysterious black-robed cultivator who had just entered the Time Mystic Realm.
The Shadow Clan Patriarch had a bitter expression. The Hidden Fog Sect people were here, but right now wasn’t the time to investigate this. There were more important matters to attend to.
“Immediately disperse all clansmen. Order them to flee as far as possible. Carry away everything that can be carried away!”
After speaking these words, the Patriarch’s heart dripped blood. The Shadow Clan’s inheritance went back hundreds of thousands of years, and they had lived here for countless generations. They used unimaginable amounts of time and effort to painfully construct this place for their clan, and now everything they did would be for naught.
The Patriarch secretly vowed that if his clan’s dwelling was truly destroyed, he would never let this matter go.
At this time, the seven-colored light that was released from the cracked space began to fall away like a tide. The terrifying aura that could destroy everything disappeared with it.
The next moment, spatial fragments fell down. They tumbled and vanished. It was like a mirror breaking apart to reveal the true world behind it.
All of the confusion and noise vanished. Countless eyes gathered over. Shock, disbelief, surprise, anger…all sorts of emotions wove together.
As if sensing everyone’s eyes on him, the sitting black-robed figure slowly looked up. He asked, “A month has passed?”
The Time Altar had completely disappeared. Everyone had also felt that terrifying aura just now, and yet Qin Yu was sitting there safe and sound. If it was said that there wasn’t another reason behind this, no one would believe it.
“Speak! What have you done? Why did the altar suddenly vanish!?” Elder One Eye roared. He was alarmed and nervous. No one would be in a good mood at this time.
Moreover, the Time Altar had been in perfectly good condition, but now it was gone!
The Shadow Clan Patriarch lifted a hand and stopped everyone else from speaking. He said, “Fellow daoist, can you give my clan an explanation for this?”
Qin Yu was silent for several breaths of time. He slowly shook his head and said, “I apologize, but soon after I entered the Time Mystic Realm I gained some insights so I started to meditate. I just happened to wake up right now, so I am unable to answer your question.”
This was of course a lie.
He recalled his comprehension of the path of time, as well as the three beautiful flows of light formed from the power of time that lingered around his soul. Moreover, he remembered that the little blue lamp had said that its goal was the Time Altar….it was clear that its disappearance was related to the little blue lamp.
The Shadow Clan Patriarch was wise enough to know that Qin Yu was lying. But after a long period of hesitation, he slowly nodded and said, “Since fellow daoist doesn’t know, it seems something happened that we haven’t sensed before.”
He cupped his hands together. “My clan is in chaos today so I won’t keep the Hidden Fog Sect here as guests. Men, please accompany our honored guests out.”
It was over just like this?
Looking at Qin Yu and the Hidden Fog Sect people leave, Elder One Eye asked, “Patriarch, why did you let them leave?”
“What do you want to do? Would you like to invite them to stay for dinner?” The Patriarch glared at him. He glanced back at Qin Yu, a dignified look in his eyes.
The feeling Qin Yu gave off before entering the altar was completely different from after he left. This transformation of aura was as if he was a completely different person. Through the Shadow Clan’s secret arts, what he felt were infinite mysterious and intangible illusions.
And this sort of feeling was almost the same as when facing the Time Altar.
The Shadow Clan Patriarch didn’t want to provoke such a character!
“Although the Time Altar is a mysterious good fortune of the world and possesses an inconceivable degree of might, in the end it isn’t something of my Shadow Clan. While it has brought some benefits to our clan throughout the years, it has already led to many covetous eyes turning our way. If it is destroyed like this today, that isn’t necessarily a bad thing.”
The Shadow Clan Patriarch was certain of what he felt. He quietly said, “Pass down my order. None of our clansmen are to discuss this matter and no one is to make things awkward for the Hidden Fog Sect. Pretend that nothing has happened.”
…
Despite a strange series of accidents, the good news was that the medicine the dark star ice serpent needed for treatment had finished fusing together.
Seeing that Qin Yu didn’t want to speak about what happened in the Time Altar, the Hidden Fog Sect people had enough tact to not ask. After confirming that the medicine was effective, they bowed and left.
Yun Die’s eyes sparkled, as if saying ‘teacher, I worship you, you are my idol!’
Qin Yu rubbed his temples. “I also am not too clear about what happened.”
But why is your expression saying more and more that you think it was all because of me?
Qin Yu was tired. He really hadn’t done anything. But, it was clear that trying to explain was useless. He shook his head and said, “That’s enough. The arena finals are tomorrow. Hurry and treat the dark star ice serpent with the medicine. We need to end this as soon as possible.”
“What an amazing teacher.”
“…”
Yun Die blinked and finally regained her senses. She hurriedly turned around and left, her face flushing red.
How humiliating. She had actually been entranced by teacher!
But to tell the truth, after teacher got rid of the Time Altar, he seemed even more charming than before.
As for teacher saying that he was completely unrelated to this accident, Yun Die knew that he was simply being modest. She was certain of it!
Teacher is the best, teacher is the most handsome, teacher is the fiercest…the only downside was that teacher refused to accept her gift.
She hoped that one day, teacher would change his mind!
Qin Yu bitterly smiled. He felt that this disciple of his was looking at him with increasingly cunning intent these days.
He felt that she wanted to push him down and swallow him up.
He took a deep breath and suppressed these thoughts. He closed his eyes and tried to contact the little blue lamp.
But after several attempts, he failed to obtain a response. As Qin Yu was debating whether or not he should continue, another consciousness arrived.
“What happened? Why did your aura suddenly vanish?” The Ancient’s consciousness slowly asked.
Qin Yu’s heart chilled. “My lord, I entered a Time Altar some time ago. Because of some unknown accident, the Time Altar vanished. It was because of this that you were unable to sense my aura.”
“Time Altar?” The Ancient’s voice was dignified. Then, Qin Yu felt as if he were being scanned from head to toe.
“That’s good. It seems that nothing is wrong with your body. You should be extra cautious in the future. Remember that you are the only hope of reviving the Ancient race. Nothing can happen to you.”
Qin Yu bowed, “Yes, my lord.”
The Ancient’s consciousness retreated.
Qin Yu straightened himself, a dark light flashing in his eyes. He felt more and more that his intuition was correct. But now that he had been locked on to by this Ancient, how could he rid himself of him?
…
Dark Parliament.
Six figures composed of flames gathered around a round table. The Senators were silent and the atmosphere was solemn and dignified. The Protector they had specially dispatched to Dragon City to handle this matter was now dead. Even with the Dark Parliament’s secret arts, they still couldn’t preserve the tiniest fragment of his soul. They had no idea what exactly had happened to him.
But there was one point that was without doubt. This was absolutely related to that man of mysterious origin, Ning Qin. Because just before the Protector died, the Dark Parliament had passed the proposition of blowing up the Time Mystic Realm and killing him with another’s knife.
There was also some news that couldn’t be ignored. The Time Altar within the Shadow Clan had vanished. According to this news, the Protector’s plan should have succeeded…but Qin Yu was still alive.
After connecting the dots together, all sorts of horrifying possibilities rose up. The Dark Parliament’s regards toward Qin Yu instantly increased by several levels! Faintly, it was as if they could see the profound and endless fog behind Ning Qin.
“I would like to know if my fellow Senators have discovered any new information about Ning Qin’s identity during this period of time.” Sage slowly said.
The Dark Parliament had tried to kill Qin Yu. Although they eventually failed, this meant that there was no way to relax the hostilities between them any longer.
Know yourself and know your enemy; only then could one respond in the best possible way. No one wanted to face unknown factors.
Jasmine said, “Ning Qin’s appearance is abrupt and sudden. So far, it has only been found that he entered Sky Declaring Pavilion through Feng Qin’s connections. But to track beyond that is more difficult.” She paused for a moment and continued to say, “Perhaps we should consider this from a different perspective. For instance, why is Ning Qin helping the Hidden Fog Sect?”
Limitless had a cold and cloudy expression. “I have already ordered my people to investigate this matter. It won’t be long before they return with news.”
Regardless of their position, when things concerned the vital interests of the Dark Parliament, they would unite and work together.
Oriole’s young voice was flooded with a chilling cold. “Investigation into this matter can be done in the future. The key issue right now is how to continue with the events in Dragon City.”
She looked around, “Everyone, although for many years the Dark Parliament had carried out a policy of seclusion and discretion and we never expose ourselves to the outside world on our own initiative, whenever a member is killed, the Dark Parliament will take revenge on their behalf. This is one of the guarantees for why the Dark Parliament is able to grow stronger over the years.”
Although she didn’t speak her true intentions, her meaning was clear.
“The Chaotic Sky Chronicle cannot be lost. No matter who it is that blocks our path, they will only be destroyed.” Lone Mountain slowly said.
Sage nodded. “Regarding this, I believe that my fellow Senators share the same thoughts. If no one opposes, we will immediately launch the second set of plans. In any case, we must prevent the Hidden Fog Sect from taking the position of leader.”
“I agree!”
“I second this!”
The Dark Parliament started to move.
