Refining the Mountains and Rivers Chapter 1385 – Reaching the Mountain of Flames

Chapter 1385 – Reaching the Mountain of Flames

“Your Highness, what did you say? I did not understand!”

The corners of Li Quanji’s mouth curled up, “If you don’t understand, let me make it clearer. Someone from the Ghost Path ma.s.sacred and stole the secret method. They went through the trouble to hide their ident.i.ty and mix amongst the cultivators…do you think the cultivators will rebel if they find out?”

Boom –

The color of blood suddenly exploded and caused a huge vibration. Li Quanji disappeared and in the next moment, he appeared outside the boundary of the attack.

He smiled even more victoriously, “Close Saint, are you trying to silence me? You can try but I advise you not to waste your energy.”

Close Saint’s expression darkened as he stared at Li Quanji, “Are you trying to threaten me?”

Li Quanji clapped his hands and laughed, “That’s right. You are smart.” His laugh became piercing as he spoke coldly, “Collaborate with me. Or, prepare to be attacked by everyone.”

Close Saint fell silent; his eyes glimmered as he emitted a huge aura that seemed to be able to attack the heavens.

Li Quanji sneered and remained silent.

After a long time, Close Saint took a deep breath. He reduced the aura that was being emitted from himself and said slowly, “I am very curious. How did you know?”

This sentence was equivalent to admitting that he was from the Ghost Path.

Li Quanji replied, “How I know is not important. What is important is that you agreed to collaborate with me.”

Close Saint was expressionless, “Soft Peach and Virtuous Nine are very powerful. It is not easy to deal with them.”

Li Quanji said, “If it was easy to kill them, I would have done it myself and I would not have needed to ask you to collaborate.”

Close Saint asked, “So what do you want to do?”

Li Quanji pursed his lips, “Why don’t you and I join forces to create a puppet first? When we eventually deal with them, we will have a greater chance.”

Close Saint’s eyes glimmered, “You are eyeing other Saints? I advise you to give up. No one a.s.sociated with me is easy to deal with. Even if we collaborate, we may not have a good chance.

“More importantly, we are now on the same boat. Any fights will cause severe damage to the s.h.i.+p and everyone will suffer. So no matter what, we cannot take action now. We have to wait for the s.h.i.+p to pa.s.s through the turbulent s.p.a.ce waves and reach the Mountain of Flames before we can do anything.”

Li Quanji frowned.

Close Saint asked, “You have a problem?”

“Hmph! Fine, then let’s wait until we get off the s.h.i.+p before acting!” Li Quanji turned to walk away, “When the time comes, I will appear.”

Close Saint watched him walk away before activating his senses to check. Not detecting anything strange, he turned ashen and looked murderous.

His ident.i.ty as part of the Ghost Path was his biggest secret. And those who knew this had been turned into corpses.

How did this person find out?

……

Soft Peach was awake.

After having a deep sleep, she had replenished her energy and the color on her face returned. Her eyes landed on Qin Yu and she could not help but smile. “You can’t bear to act? Hehe, I told you that I am exactly like Peachy.

“Do you want to consider ditching that ill one? As long as you promise to be with me, I can promise you anything. Really. You can do whatever you want and I will make you happy.” As she said this, she gave him an extremely charming look.

Qin Yu groaned as he thought that this woman was a lot cuter when she was asleep. When she wakes up, she starts to act crazily.

Turning his head, he asked, “What happened earlier on?” He had wanted to ask this but Soft Peach had fallen asleep too quickly.

Soft Peach blinked, “You care about me?”

Qin Yu gritted his teeth, “Soft Peach!”

“Hmph! You are really cowardly. You don’t dare to admit…” She muttered softly to herself before coughing, “There is someone extremely powerful on this s.h.i.+p. Second Personality was not able to catch him so he must be very strong.

“In the beginning, he had errant intentions and drew me into the dream realm. But that was just him testing. This guy is pretty smart. If he had come straight up, Second Personality would have taught him a lesson. Now that he is gone, there may be trouble coming…woo, my woman’s sixth sense tells me that he will not give up.”

Qin Yu frowned. Although Soft Peach’s story was all over the place, her meaning was clear. Things had not ended and there would be trouble.

This woman, Soft Peach, was troublesome!

If Qin Yu had a choice, he would not have bothered and let her destroy herself. Yet in this situation, he could only grit his teeth.

But what happened next was completely different from what Qin Yu had imagined.

Very quiet!

On the last leg of their journey, no vengeful spirits or phantoms attacked. This was completely different from what Soft Peach had guessed.

“Impossible. This is impossible. I could smell the greedy aura that surrounded him through one hundred walls.

“Since nothing is happening, could it be that he has been scared off? This guy is too cowardly, it does not match his image at all!”

Soft Peach was angry and she even looked slightly disappointed.

Qin Yu looked nonchalant. He did not care what Soft Peach was thinking. As long as they could get by peacefully, it was a good thing.

All of a sudden, the blood red color that filled the s.h.i.+p dissipated rapidly and the mini vibrations disappeared.

In the next moment, an immensely hot aura descended! It was as if a flame was burning through one’s mouth and nose and into one’s organs. It was an intense and hot pain.

Qin Yu suddenly looked up and delight shone on his face – the s.h.i.+p had pa.s.sed the turbulent s.p.a.ce without any incidents. They had reached the Mountain of Flames!

“Let’s go!”

As he growled, he pulled Soft Peach and rushed out.

Rumble –

A low and dense rumble like muddy water surging forth could be heard, giving a pressurizing feeling.

This came from the chaotic s.p.a.ce behind them. When they stood inside and looked out, it seemed to be a lot quieter than outside. But in one glance, Qin Yu could tell that this was an illusion that it gave when it reached a certain level of disorder.

With Qin Yu’s current cultivation and physical endurance, he was not even sure that he could remain inside, much less force his way in.

He had to thank the West Desolate and that clan once more for creating this big s.h.i.+p without caring about the cost.

Looking forward, the raging flame casted a red glow on his face and filled the air with a hot aura. This was being emitted from within the flame.

Inextinguishable Flame!

The furnace was extremely excited and was like a bull in heat staring at a ripe female bull, its eyes completely red.

But now was still not the time for the furnace to act. If the ancient Saints were to find out, there was going to be trouble.

After putting in so much effort and having the Spirit Array’s Fire Spirit’s help, Qin Yu managed to suppress the furnace from acting rashly.

Wait, old metal. Yes, just like that. After all these old people go, it will be your time. There is no need to rus.h.!.+

Qin Yu looked back towards the turbulent s.p.a.ce waves. When he turned back to look at the Mountain of Flames, the rest of the people from the s.h.i.+p had appeared.

Without any exception, everyone’s eyes had a scorching look.

The thing that the West Desolate and that group had spent so many years searching for…perhaps, it was right before their very eyes. In the Mountain of Flames!

At a time like this, any delay would be laughable. Moreover, if they went ahead first, they might be able to have an advantage. Maybe this was the string that would determine their end result!

The two younger and older Xu True Saint brothers did not even greet anyone. They glanced over everyone before turning and das.h.i.+ng into the Mountain of Flames.

One of the three Saints also had a serious look as he put his hands together and said, “We will head over first!”

Woosh –

The three of them turned to leave and disappeared into the Mountain of Flames in a blink of an eye.

Close Saint smiled, “I struggled for so many years and finally made it to this day. Everyone’s impatience must look like a joke to both of you.”

Qin Yu’s expression was calm, “It is normal and I can understand. But Close Saint, aren’t you worried?”

He was in no mood to talk nonsense. Hurry and go and do what you have to. I can barely hold the furnace down!

Close Saint said slowly, “It is up to fate. If it is meant to be mine, the end result will not change even if I go earlier or later.”

He put his hands together, “I will take my leave now.”

Woosh –

His figure disappeared into the raging flame in the distance.

To dare to charge straight into the Mountain of Flames without fearing its high temperatures and the scorching abilities of the Inextinguishable Flame, these ancient Saints must have been prepared.

Alas, they had known about the Inextinguishable Flame since a long time ago. Judging from how prudent the West Desolate and that group appeared, it was not very possible that they had let something leak. This meant that there must be a problem.

But this was a different issue and no matter how exciting, this had nothing to do with us. So Qin Yu rediverted his attention. His eyes glimmered.

All the old Saints had left. It was now their turn. The furnace was starving and could not wait any longer.

Truthfully, Qin Yu was also very excited and it was not only the furnace. After absorbing the Inextinguishable Flame, the furnace would transform again and could likely help him greatly.

Not only would he be able to replace the Spring Master in his position and lengthen Peachy’s life, but this would also greatly improve Qin Yu’s abilities.

Eventually, he would be able to successfully create his True Saint Great Dao. He did not know if he had it before…instinct told him that he might receive a surprise.

“Let’s go!”

Growling, Qin Yu flew out and left the s.h.i.+p. It was not possible for him to pull Soft Peach.

Hooo. Although the feeling of her hand was soft and comfortable…cough cough. Qin Yu, calm down. Are you overly excited? How can you still think about this kind of thing!

He subconsciously turned back and saw that Soft Peach did not move. Qin Yu frowned, “Let’s go. I will not wait for you!”

Soft Peach’s nose twitched, “Don’t think of ditching me!”

She then rushed over but looked back at the silent s.h.i.+p subconsciously. She felt as if there was something looking at her from within the s.h.i.+p, and whatever it was, it was not good.

The guy that got scared off? That should be it!

But since you are indignant, why aren’t you doing something? This b.a.s.t.a.r.d. Didn’t you know that making a girl wait is an extremely despicable thing? I should cut you and mince you up!

Look! Look! You pitiful worm that is locked on the s.h.i.+p. Once I am gone, you won’t have a chance.
