Refining the Mountains and Rivers Chapter 1382 – Thick Blood for the Ship

Chapter 1382 – Thick Blood for the s.h.i.+p

Qin Yu bowed, “You guys are skilful.”

This came from the bottom of his heart.

The two camps never would have imagined that they would be killed by the group of rogue cultivators from the fragmented area.

Close Saint smiled, “We were prepared to deal with it…”

After the greetings, one of the Saints suddenly interrupted, “Who is she?”

His tone was cold and unhappy.

Soft Peach raised her brow and smiled, “Me?”

Another True Saint said, “The only daughter of the Spring Master…if the Spring Master was here we might accept his interference, but you should leave!”

He put her down.

The smile on her face grew even brighter, but a coldness circled in her beautiful eyes.

True Saints were naturally proud beings because they were among the strongest in terms of cultivation. Furthermore, it was even more impressive since she was an avatar but she was so strong. This was at least ten or a hundred times more difficult than for the average cultivator.

In order to remain beside Qin Yu, she had to be thick-skin despite his cold treatment of her. It would be a lie to say that Soft Peach was not angry nor annoyed.

All in all, the True Saints happened to choose to provoke her when she was not in a good mood.

Qin Yu frowned slightly but remained calm. Since Soft Peach wanted to come, she had to solve her problems by herself. This should be a piece of cake for her.

With a thought, Soft Peach stepped forward and repeated her words, “Me?” Her voice and tone did not change. However, with just a step forward, the feeling she gave off had an immense difference.

Like a phoenix that spread its wings through the sky, her angry eyes had coldness in them. Her words were like breaths of fire that could burn the world into h.e.l.l at any moment!

It was completely terrifying!

Aside from Qin Yu, the expression of every True Saint, including Close Saint’s, changed drastically. They had never imagined that a young woman they did not look highly upon would be so strong.

She was strong, very strong!

There was no doubt about a True Saint’s strength.

Soon, the ancient Saints came to their senses. This woman was not Peachy and she might be inferior to them as ancient Saints.

That was because Soft Peach was releasing a suppressive aura. In it, there was a thick but subtle ancient aura. Others might not notice it, but as other ancient beings, their senses were sharp enough to capture this point.

Close Saint cupped his hands together, “Please forgive us for not recognizing you. You are welcome to join us.”

Cultivators did not discriminate against gender. Cultivation was the sole importance!

Soft Peach told them her name and her eyes swept past the twin pace brothers True Saints. She returned to Qin Yu’s side and took his hand.

Under such circ.u.mstances, this was the most direct and obvious way of telling them.

Qin Yu frowned slightly but before he could say anything, Soft Peach’s voice rang in his head, “This group of old farts is really strong. Furthermore, they do not have pure intentions. Doing this, we can make them more fearful and minimize the risks.”

This was the truth.

After pondering it, he ignored the uneasiness in his heart. Qin Yu maintained a calm facade and looked at the group of ancient Saints, “If there isn’t anything else, we should get going.”

He removed his arm from Soft Peach’s hold naturally and skidded past her. Then, he flew towards the s.h.i.+p.

“Virtuous Nine, you idiot, wait for me!” She called after Qin Yu flirtatiously and chased him. She pursed her lips and her face was flushed slightly from anger. Her overbearing demeanor from a second ago had disappeared.

Close Saint frowned slightly but he became calm again, “Let’s go.”

Shoosh shoos.h.!.+

The rest of the Saints flew through the air.

When he felt Soft Peach closing in, Qin Yu frowned, “Do you know when you are going too far? You are going to make them suspicious.”

Soft Peach blinked her eyes, “Is that so? I don’t know. Why don’t you teach me?”

Geez!

How can I believe you? Qin Yu turned around sharply and glared at her coldly!

Soft Peach shrunk slightly and innocently cried, “Don’t look at me so scarily…alright, alright. Don’t you think that it is good for them to be suspicious?

“When they decide to take action, they will realize that we are much closer than they thought. We can use this against them.”

Qin Yu’s expression stiffened. When were they close? Why did he not know that?

He could not be bothered to argue with her and he sped up to pull apart their distance. Very quickly, he landed on the s.h.i.+p with a clap.

The smell of blood pierced his nose…it seemed to be even stronger than when he first stepped on it!

Soft Peach and the rest of the ancient Saints followed closely and bored the s.h.i.+p. Without wasting a second, Qin Yu made his move.

He turned to look at the group and said, “I am sure everyone knows that we need the keys and high grade energy to operate the s.h.i.+p.” He pointed towards the six blood-colored stars, “So, please.”

The elder s.p.a.ce True Saint scoffed, “We did not agree to provide the energy for the s.h.i.+p to operate!” He was probably in a bad mood because Close Saint and Soft Peach crushed him and he wanted to regain his honor.

However, it was obvious that he chose the wrong target. Qin Yu lightly glanced at him and said, “Oh, if you guys are not willing, I will not force you. Then let’s get off the s.h.i.+p first and discuss what we should do again.”

He turned to leave but Close Saint quickly stopped him, “Virtuous Nine, please do not be angry. We are willing to provide the energy required to operate the s.h.i.+p.” He looked at the elder s.p.a.ce True Saint, “I believe that Gentle Spread Saint will not have an opinion on this.”

The elder s.p.a.ce True Saint’s face stiffened and he gritted his teeth and scoffed, “Do whatever you want. I will not be bothered about it!”

Qin Yu looked at Gentle Spread Saint warily. For a True Saint to live so long, he was not a brainless idiot who would be so rash. He might be putting on an act.

Once impressions were formed, they would stick and affect his judgment. Qin Yu did not want to make a mistake in the future because of something like this.

Of course, he kept all these thoughts to himself. As such, his eyes were cold as he stared at Gentle Spread. Regardless of whether this man was a qualified actor, he had to put on an act too.

“Thank you fellow Saints.”

Qin Yu flipped his hand and the two keys from the West Desolate and Mysterious Clan instantly appeared in his hands.

The s.h.i.+p could sense their presence and it vibrated softly. Life seeped into it and it buzzed with antic.i.p.ation.

The b.l.o.o.d.y scent in the air grew thicker.

There was a flash across Close Saint’s eyes and he said, “Let’s call the six stars and start the s.h.i.+p together.”

The six ancient Saints gestured their secret technique and the six crimson red stars instantly began to move. As the stars grew closer to the s.h.i.+p, its internal area started to shrink. Once it was where the s.h.i.+p was, it was only the size of a person’s head.

The red color of the stars seemed to grow even redder. When Qin Yu observed the numerous blood streaks that circled in the stars, it felt like he could see each and every face of the dead cracking apart. Ear-piercing screams echoed through the air.

Qin Yu frowned. He could feel the vibration and buzz of the s.h.i.+p growing louder. It was getting more and more greedy.

The scent of blood grew even thicker and there was an uneasy feeling in his heart. He looked at the six ancient Saints but did not see any reaction from them.

This was very normal. As old Saints, they would not easily reveal their feelings towards one another. They must have almost died many times and experienced many things in order to survive till this day.

There was something wrong!

However, things had progressed to this stage and it was too late. Talented individuals were daring.

Because these Saints were strong, despite the high possibility that there would be a problem, they were confident of resolving it.

Qin Yu felt the two keys struggling and he released his fingers. The keys instinctively flew and entered the body of the s.h.i.+p.

In the next moment, the s.h.i.+p seemed to be activated. Its mouth opened hungrily and it devoured the six stars. Then, a thick blood red color instantly covered the entire s.h.i.+p.

A sharp howl came as this thick blood color descended. It pierced through the mind and caused immense pain.

Qin Yu grunted slightly and his face grew pale. However, he continued to put on an act and he maintained a straight face.

It seemed as though the ancient Saints were prepared for this and they were unafraid of the soul-based attack. Their expressions remained calm.

When Qin Yu looked at them, a few returned judgmental glances.

Kaboom!

This explosive sound came from within the s.h.i.+p and it felt like a ma.s.sive turbine was releasing a surge of power. At the same time, the hull slowly started to vibrate.

With that, the s.h.i.+p sailed.

It was a success!

Close Saint’s eyes shook from excitement and he could not hide this. Breathing in deeply he said, “We will require some time before we pa.s.s through the turbulent s.p.a.ce waves. We need to be prepared to fight against the vengeful spirits on the s.h.i.+p…”

He glanced at Qin Yu, “The two of you will need to be careful if you aren't prepared. The vengeful spirits on the s.h.i.+p are strong.”

He turned and vanished into the sea of blood.

The twin s.p.a.ce True Saints glared at Qin Yu and Soft Peach. Then, they turned and left in another direction.

The three other True Saints had always remained silent. At the most, their reactions involved mainly nodding their heads. They turned and warned, “Be careful.”

Very soon, only Qin Yu and Soft Peach were left on the main body of the s.h.i.+p.

They looked at the sea of blood in front of them. Piercing screams filled their ears and shadows flashed across their eyes. A sharp demonic energy was surrounding them and it made their hearts shudder. An immense uneasiness filled them.

It felt as though two living people had dropped into the eleventh layer of h.e.l.l!

Qin Yu frowned. He was not afraid but because of the vengeful spirits in front of them, Soft Peach came towards him again.

“Don’t go, I am afraid!” Her voice wavered and she s.h.i.+vered. She inched closer to him so that they touched.

Qin Yu froze and turned towards her. Her face was pale and the fear in her eyes was definitely not part of an act.

This woman…she was actually afraid of ghosts? Although he was very inclined not to believe her, when he looked at her face, he hesitated. He did not remove his hand from her.

His eyes swept across the deck. He could see the many tear marks on the s.h.i.+p. It was about to enter the turbulent s.p.a.ce waves; it was definitely not a good idea to remain here.

He breathed in deeply to stabilize his emotions. He would not waver. Then, he said, “Let’s head in.”

Soft Peach nodded and they headed towards a side.

The deck was empty, but right after Qin Yu and Soft Peach left, a pair of eyes appeared where they had been.

This pair of eyes were hard to describe. They were slightly bright but there was disgust in its gaze. As it stared after the pair, its gaze grew more lively.

Whoosh –

A cold breeze blew across the deck, causing the sea of blood to shake. The pair of eyes that appeared suddenly vanished.

Kaboom –

A loud explosion came from afar and the entire s.h.i.+p shook violently. Qin Yu’s heart shook; he knew that they had entered the turbulent s.p.a.ce waves.

Although he knew that the West Desolate and Mysterious Clan used this s.h.i.+p to travel to the Mountain of Flames, it was something that he stole from them. Furthermore, he killed the s.h.i.+p’s original owners to get this. Qin Yu was not sure that everything would be smooth sailing.

This was the time of the test.

The good news was that nothing happened. The entire s.h.i.+p overflowed with blood red light and it withstood the force of the s.p.a.ce waves.

At the same time, the strong vibrations from the s.h.i.+p started to calm down.
