BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1362 – Who was it?
Chapter 1362 – Who was it?
Qin Yu was eighty percent sure that the person in front of him was not on Li Zhouyi’s side. That was enough.
“Before I came, I met with the third prince secretly. There is something important that you have to do…” Qin Yu muttered as he walked over.
A look of suspicion crossed the man’s face. He had not imagined that Border Cliff Saint, who came with the sixth prince, would say this.
Was he trying to test him? No. As a True Saint, there was no need for Qin Yu to do that.
With this thinking, he cupped his hands together and said, “I do not understand Saint…” All of a sudden, fingers grabbed around his neck. Qin Yu did not hesitate to tighten his grip and snap the man’s neck.
Crack –
A loud cracking sound followed a scary wave of energy that flowed into the man. Qin Yu raised his eyebrows. Stone Pagoda had also acted.
There was an ice cold aura that was as thin as a silver needle. With a snap, it sounded like something was torn open.
The body of the World of Darkness cultivator fell lifelessly to the ground. Unlike others, his body did not turn into dark energy and disappear.
It was an actual body…Qin Yu’s eyes narrowed. The person in front of him had truly died.
As if he could feel Qin Yu’s surprise, Stone Pagoda said, “I studied a puppet before but I did not find a way to counter. Killing this man is the only way to conceal your identity. Your plan must be perfect.”
Qin Yu thought about it and asked, “Can you guess what I am going to do?” Stone Pagoda was silent.
Was this the point? Master’s way of thinking was refreshing. He sighed internally. If Qin Yu continued to question him, Stone Pagoda would not know how to answer.
“Cough. I can make a guess based on witnessing what you did before.”
Qin Yu frowned. He tilted his head up and appeared to be deep in thought.
Was his image in Stone Pagoda’s mind like that? He did not say anything, but Stone Pagoda already guessed that he wanted to kill the man to silence him. A person’s image was very important. Since when did he become scheming and crafty?
He carefully thought about it. It probably happened back in the Lost Garden when he absorbed the strength of the innate spirit. He had bad luck. When he absorbed and refined the Fire Snake, he also absorbed its evil nature.
If that innate spirit knew that it was being blamed like this, it would dig its way out of its coffin. This bastard was obviously the source of problems. Why blame it on me? I cannot tolerate this!
Impression and image. He had to take note of that. He ought to be a more upright person next time to give off the impression of a righteous man.
A man should be like that!
Hm…however, the difference in strength was too big. It was mainly because the World of Darkness and Mysterious Clan were cheaters. They could not be killed and they could even call upon stronger people for help.
Although Qin Yu could take care of the first method of cheating, he was more afraid that they would call for help.
As such, Qin Yu decided that he should act outright next time. If he wanted to kill, he would do it boldly. If he wanted to steal, he would steal with determination!
He would stick to his old ways for now to be safe.
With this new determination, Qin Yu’s eyes flashed brightly, “Stone Pagoda, is this man dead?”
Stone Pagoda nodded, “His soul is shattered. He can’t be killed anymore.”
“Can you do this in a large scale way?”
“Yes!”
Clap!
Qin Yu clapped his hands together as a glimmer crossed his eyes. He exclaimed excitedly, “Good, very good. Since you are equipped with this weapon, it will be much easier moving forward.”
He had made up his mind to attack previously and he originally wanted to leave a time gap before his next move. The original body of the World of Darkness cultivator would know what happened after his puppet was killed. However, it would also be difficult to pass a message down to the World of Darkness in a short time.
Honestly speaking, this was risky, but Qin Yu was betting on being able to change his identity once he was found out. This was not hard for him and hence he acted as he pleased.
Since Stone Pagoda could fill in the gaps for him now, he did not need to worry anymore. He could alter his future plans and make them more secure.
After the Shadow of the Abyss left, he still had the very knowledgeable Stone Pagoda by his side. Qin Yu was amazed by his own luck.
He would not admit this. Previously, Stone Pagoda acted high and mighty before him. If he knew Qin Yu’s current thoughts, Stone Pagoda may turn arrogant again.
As such, he remained calm and maintained a powerful demeanor.
Once he thought of this, Qin Yu kept a straight face. He coughed lightly, “Since this is the case, I can change my plans.”
He flipped his hand and retrieved a crystal. By channeling energy into the crystal, light flashed before his eyes and formed a glowing hue on top of his palm.
Once this was done, Qin Yu did not waste a second before he picked up the body and entered the darkness. A few moments after he disappeared, there was a cracking sound and a breakage appeared along the crystal. A strong Space Target fluctuation rolled out and instantly exploded in the area.
In his own room, Li Zhouyi carefully deliberated and concluded he still had a chance. A few moments later, he felt a strange space fluctuation sweep past him.
He sat up straight and it felt as though he was sitting on fire. His face turned ashen immediately and he whipped his head around. Everyone in the small world fragment was alerted and they wore looks of surprise. Qin Yu was among them. When he saw Li Zhouyi walk out, he cupped his hands together and said, “Your Highness, we have been tricked!”
Li Zhouyi’s expression twisted and he snapped, “Space Target! Damn it, who is it? Find him!”
It was easy to locate where the Space Target came from. A group of cultivators bounded over, but aside from the crystal fragments, they did not find anything else.
A True Saint from the West Desolate said, “Who is the person who lives here? Where is he now?” After some investigation, they found their target. However, people who recently interacted with the man said that he had not left after entering his room.
This…did he escape after his crimes were exposed? However, everyone who entered the Mountain of Flames had to go through the array setup. The person had no way to open the array; where could he run to?
Li Zhouyi gritted his teeth angrily and roared, “Find him. Find him for me!” Outside the Mountain of Flames, they set up a trap to capture their prey. However, before their target prey arrived, such a big catastrophe happened.
These strong Space Target fluctuations covered a big area. Naturally, a large number of rogue cultivators would quickly arrive here.
The existence of the Mountain of Flames had always been a secret between the World of Darkness and Mysterious Clan. Rouge cultivators coming here would spoil their setup and cause disruptions in their otherwise perfect plan. This was a great crime in itself.
Although he said before that he would not have any considerations if he died, Li Zhouyi was panicking now. He wanted to kill!
Why? Why did things keep going wrong? The previous Desolate King had favored him because of his merits and he obtained the opportunity to control the Inextinguishable Flame. He thought that this would be a good chance but his puppet was killed and he ended up with a huge crime tagged to his head.
After so much effort, he pulled the Mysterious Clan into the conflict too and created a chance for him to make up for his mistakes. However, the second time he entered the southwest desolate area and descended into Bounded Zero Place, he was met with unlucky instances again.
He was constantly being beaten and he felt disappointment every time. Li Zhouyi knew that he had a very strong determination. Other people might not be able to stand it.
However, he was willful and determined. Repeated waves of failures would not beat him down.
Did the heavens really want him to die?
He was left with nothing again.
The World of Darkness cultivators took action and they searched the entire small world fragment. Yet, they did not find their target.
Li Zhouyi’s body shivered from his anger, “How can a living person disappear? Find him!”
The disappearing of the aura of the Inextinguishable Flame was like that too. How could he take it? Furthermore, with current circumstances, he had to find this man. There were some things he had to clarify.
Was all of this the orders of the Desolate King? Li Zhouyi had suspicions before, and today’s events made these suspicions grow stronger.
He had a lot of displeasure with the Desolate King despite maintaining a respectful outward demeanor. Li Zhouyi had to admit that he was detached from his father but no matter what, his father would always place the West Desolate before everything else.
The Mountain of Flames may contain a treasure left by the Ruler back then. It was key for the conflict between the West Desolate and the Mysterious Clan.
The Desolate King would never reveal this to anyone and cause conflict between the cultivators. However, this was what happened.
Was he wrong? If this was not the Desolate King’s directions, who else would know?
His heart was full of hatred and displeasure. Yet, he suddenly felt like he was trapped in a thick fog of mist and was beaten continuously by an unknown force.
Thoughts rushed through his head and he thought of many faces. He thought of the third prince and all his enemies in the West Desolate. He even thought of someone from the South Desolate.
After all, the West Desolate and South Desolate were two parties who would be interested in this matter. It was a pity that it was too much of a rush back then and the South Desolate took their hands off. Perhaps the South Desolate never gave up for all these years.
Of course, the Mysterious Clan in another small world fragment would also be suspicious of this.
Li Zhouyi pondered deeply. But he never thought that the culprit was a rogue cultivator. From the perspective of the sixth prince of the West Desolate, there may be some outstanding rogue cultivators but they would never be able to compare to the West Desolate. Furthermore, the culprit seemed to be playing with both the World of Darkness and Mysterious Clan in his palm.
Who was it? Who in the world was it?
