Refining the Mountains and Rivers Chapter 1316 – Ally With You

Chapter 1316 – Ally With You

Qin Yu continued, “Thousand Saint, Black Turtle, and the Dragon Saint have allied together to crush Qin Yu and take the innate spirit energy from him. However, I do not trust the Dragon Saint nor Thousand Saint!”

Hundred Saint frowned. He felt that things were strange. He had not thought that Thousand Saint would ally with the Dragon Saint.

However, this was the East Sea. It was impossible for the Dragon Saint to remain completely ignorant of everything that happened in the Red Peak Straits. Nothing had happened in the East Sea and Thousand Saint had not explained anything in regards to that…

Humans were like that. When suspicions arose, they would fill in the rest of the story by themselves.

This was not related to cultivation. It was people’s minds that were fooled and it was the darkness in every living creature’s heart.

“What do you want?”

Qin Yu lifted a finger, “It is very simple. The both of us came later and we want rewards after everything is settled. We don’t want to be left with nothing, so we have to collaborate together.”

Hundred Saint scoffed, “How can I trust you?”

Qin Yu replied, “Because you don’t have any other choice.” With this, he took a step back. The s.p.a.ce behind him tore apart and he entered the darkness.

“Hundred Saint, I will arrive at the Red Peak Straits later than you. You can look at Thousand Saint’s reaction. If you are confused, please remain quiet for now. I will explain to you afterwards…by then, you will believe me.”

……

Once the Dragon Saint told him the location, he had continued sensing the surroundings. However, he was surprised that he did not sense Qin Yu’s aura. Instead, he discovered two strong dark energies.

Could there be two Darkness True Saints who arrived at the Red Peak Straits from the World of Darkness? Did Qin Yu discover this and hence he remained cautious?

However, what was the World of Darkness trying to do? Did it have pure intentions of observing the transformation? If that was the case, there was no need to mobilize so many people.

After all, it was not easy for Darkness True Saints to come to the Vast Brightness World. They had to pay a high price.

Unless, they had something more important to do aside from the transformation? What was it? It was not hard to guess.

Qin Yu!

Could they have guessed Qin Yu’s secret when he was in the Red Peak Straits? That’s right, that must be the case.

With the way the World of Darkness did things, this was the only reason that could explain their reaction.

In the Lost Garden, the Peach Garden’s ninth disciple Qin Yu stumbled upon an opportunity and became a top-ranked cultivator in the world. That was how he obtained the power to slay Saints.

There was definitely an issue here and everyone wanted to uncover his secrets, even the Dragon Saint. As such, he knew that this was the true reason.

As for two Darkness True Saints…could one of them be Qin Yu in disguise? The Dragon Saint did not consider this possibility at all.

Not to mention him, Thousand Saint and Black Turtle did not think of this either.

The reason was simple. There has never been a person who could mimic a True Saint. Not only did this require a lot of strength, the aura of a True Saint was impossible to mimic.

The Dragon Saint’s eyes were uneasy and he felt a strong combat desire in him. He was tempted to head to the Red Peak Straits directly to partic.i.p.ate in the battle.

If there was a chance to uncover the secret on Qin Yu, it was not completely unthinkable to provoke the World of Darkness.

After all, there was cause and effect in everything in the world. As long as the benefits were good enough, he could overlook the risk.

Stay calm! Stay calm!

The Dragon Saint sighed deeply. After so many years of experience, he had long gone past the period of rashness.

Since he already sensed that trouble would brew at the Red Peak Straits, it was impossible to be ignorant.

However, Qin Yu’s death would be his own problem. The Dragon Saint was highly interested in the secret of the Lost Garden.

It was nonetheless unwise for him to take action. Even if things went according to what he predicted, Thousand Saint and two other Darkness True Saints were in the Red Peak Straits. With Black Turtle included, there were already four True Saints there.

How terrifying!

Any True Saint would have to flee to save his life against four other True Saints allied together.

Despite knowing this, the Dragon Saint still wanted to interfere. The East Sea was his main territory.

If he was willing to sacrifice dao quintessence and use the entire strength of the East Sea, it might be possible to stand his own ground.

This was his strongest pillar!

Additionally, he was hiding in the dark. If he chose the right timing, there was a possibility for success.

That was good enough.

For him to have become a True Saint, he was by no means an indecisive person. With the information he had, it was worth the risk.

His eyes brightened and he stepped down. His body disappeared.

In the large land of ice, in the camp of the Sea Clan in the East Sea, Black Scale’s face suddenly changed. “Who is it?”

The air s.h.i.+fted and the Dragon Saint stepped out, “It is me.”

Black Scale hurriedly bowed, “Greetings to Lord Dragon Saint!”

“Rise. Don’t tell anyone that I am here.” The Dragon Saint waved his hand and said in a deep voice, “Move all our forces at any costs. I need to know of everything that happens within the Red Peak Straits.”

Utilizing the secret forces was dangerous and it would leave clues for others. If they were found, they would be killed mercilessly.

So what?

Saints were highly respected individuals who had reached the sh.o.r.e. They were unordinary and they only pursued the Great Dao.

The position of Ruler was something the Dragon Saint was interested in too!

So what if some people died because of this? Even if it was ten times, a hundred times, a thousand, or ten thousand times more, it was worth it!

Black Scale seemed to have sensed a cold-blooded feeling from Lord Dragon Saint. He did not know what happened, but it was obvious that something terrifying was about to occur soon.

“Yes, I will do it immediately!”

He did not dare to waste any time and left in a hurry.

……

Shoosh –

Thousand Saint’s eyes opened and he smiled. Hundred Saint was here, he could sense his aura.

He stood up and stepped out. The s.p.a.ce s.h.i.+fted and he teleported to the border of the Red Peak Straits. He cupped his hands and said, “Hundred Saint, you are finally here!”

He scanned the surroundings and asked, “Is your friend not with you?”

Friend?

Hundred Saint felt slightly uncomfortable with this word. After all, not long ago, another Darkness True Saint had asked to be friends with him.

His first reaction was, how would Thousand Saint know about this? Hundred Saint thought about what the mysterious Darkness True Saint said previously. He sucked in a sharp breath and suppressed his feelings and said, “He did not come with me.”

Thousand Saint’s eyes darkened and he sighed, “Qin Yu is in the Red Peak Straits but he might not remain here. Furthermore, we are both here. If he realizes this, everything might be wasted. If you can, please let your friend know that we do not have much time.”

Hundred Saint frowned slightly; he was doubtful of some facts. Seeing the sincerity in Thousand Saint’s face, he was just about to say something when a deep chuckle came from nearby, “Thousand Saint, don’t worry. I am here.”

Darkness gushed out and an ice cold aura filled the air. There was absolute desolation about this darkness and it felt like the eternal night had descended.

This aura…Thousand Saint frowned. For some reason, he felt that this aura was familiar but also weird.

However, he did not think twice. Since the Darkness True Saint was Hundred Saint’s friend, there should not be a problem. He smiled, “Alright, since you are both here, we can start and lure Qin Yu out!”

The darkness surrounded them and Qin Yu laughed, “Of course. We came from afar just because of this. Thousand Saint, you can make the preparations.”

Hundred Saint shot a glance at him but remained silent.

Thousand Saint’s eyes swept past the both of them and he laughed, “Alright.” He turned and his eyes instantly became cold. There was definitely a problem with Hundred Saint and this mysterious Darkness True Saint.

However, they had sworn before the darkness. Furthermore, Black Turtle was about to undergo the transformation. There was no reason to fear them.

Shoosh –

Thousand Saint teleported away.

Hundred Saint’s expression was cold, “You may explain.”

Qin Yu laughed in a deep voice, “It is very simple. It was Thousand Saint’s plan for me to meet you earlier to make you make a mistake and think that you allied with me. In fact, you were actually excluded by everyone.”

I see!

No wonder the Dragon Saint would help and provide his location. This was a suspicion that Hundred Saint always had.

However, there was another problem.

Wouldn’t Thousand Saint worry about how Qin Yu would locate Hundred Saint if not for the Dragon Saint? This was another dead end.

Qin Yu smiled. He flipped his palm and a dark crystal flew out. “You should recognize this aura right?”

“It is Thousand Saint’s dark energy.”

“This is a messaging device he gave me. Through this, I could sense your rough location. If you are wondering how I locked onto your location, I was meant to say that my cultivation path made me extra sensitive to dark aura. Of course, this item cannot be used over long distances. However, when near, it is enough to confuse others so that Hundred Saint would not be identified.” Qin Yu smiled, “If you don’t believe me, you can try it.”

“Alright!” Hundred Saint stepped back and immediately disappeared. At the same time, he sucked in all his aura.

Qin Yu turned and pointed, “You are here.” He turned again, “Here.”

“Here.”

He continued to turn, “Here.”

Amidst the s.p.a.ce, Hundred Saint’s expression stiffened. He believed what Qin Yu said.

He had to believe him!

As a True Saint, he was fully confident in how he retracted his own aura. Against a Darkness True Saint of a similar type, if he concealed his aura, there was no chance of being discovered.

However, it felt like he was completely lit up by the sun in front of Qin Yu. There was no room for him to hide.

Why would Thousand Saint’s aura have this ability? Could this man have wanted to deal with him since a long time ago? Yes, that must be the case. Otherwise why would he have refined an item to lock onto his location!

But why? They had nothing against each other. There were only minimal benefits from fighting internally and it was not significant.

No, he was too simple-minded. Thousand Saint might not have anything against him but they had the same goal.

The quota, it must be because of that quota!

d.a.m.n it. Once Thousand Saint completed the transformation of Black Turtle, he would obtain the qualifications to enter the contest.

It must be this!

As previously mentioned, human hearts were defective. This was more evidence of it.

With a clear mind, Hundred Saint no longer suspected Qin Yu. He said, “Alright, I will collaborate with you.”

In the darkness, Qin Yu snapped his fingers, “Trust me Hundred Saint. This is a correct decision.”

This ending was perfect!
