Refining the Mountains and Rivers Chapter 1537 – Boundary Breaking Seal

Chapter 1537 – Boundary Breaking Seal

Seeing her face and listening to her almost made Qin Yu vomit blood. However, he subconsciously still considered it.

Across from him, she snorted, “Men!”

Rourou looked at him with disdain, “I was only saying. I can’t believe that you took me seriously. Qin Yu ah Qin Yu, I never thought that you were this kind of person.”

There was an awkward silence.

But Qin Yu would never admit it. He only thought but did not do anything. It was not like she could cut his brain in half to find out right?

Thankfully, this situation did not last long. With a “Hmph,” Rourou said, “I will deal with you next time.”

She turned and left.

Qin Yu’s brows raised slightly. He sensed a strange movement.

A few moments later, there was a movement in the air in front of him.

A figure appeared and slowly became more concrete in the air.

It was Lord Chengtian, who had just left Jiang Chengzi’s tent.

Rourou must have sensed it and chosen to let Qin Yu off.

“Greetings, Lord Chengtian.”

“Please rise.” Lord Chengtian nodded, “The border army camp is not ordinary and they might detect my projection, so I will get straight to the point.”

Qin Yu looked serious, “Lord Chengtian, please speak.”

“After the situation with the Western Barbarian tomb, you left together with Zhou Chengshan, Ye Ziling, and Night Demon Sect Master. Do you still remember?”

Qin Yu thought about it, “Boundary Breaking Seal?”

Without waiting for Qin Yu to ask, he put his hand up to cut him off, “I don’t know much about it and can’t tell you. But before leaving the capital, His Majesty made a promise. If you are able to complete this, then in the future, other than the two Ye families controlling the military, there will be a third, the Ning Family!”

Qin Yu was stunned.

Now that he knew more about the imperial army, he knew how powerful the two Ye families were.

Although the West Desolate king was the ultimate ruler, just his will alone was not enough to raise Qin Yu to such a high position.

To make a promise like this meant that the Boundary Breaking Seal was extremely important…it would even be able to change the future of the West Desolate king.

Regarding the change of the throne and the abdication of the king, Qin Yu was aware. For the Boundary Breaking Seal to be able to impact this, it was obvious how important it was.

Qin Yu did not hide his emotions as he looked at Lord Chengtian. His mouth opened before closing.

Lord Chengtian said, “You don’t have to ask further. Just focus.” He stepped forward and looked straight into his eyes, “General Jinwu, you have to remember that you are not allowed to let anyone know about the Boundary Breaking Seal. If anyone finds out, you will become a criminal of the West Desolate and you will die!”

Alas, his previous behavior was effective. Lord Chengtian was denying but there was a clear message between his words.

The Boundary Breaking Seal was part of a huge scheme in the West Desolate that involved the West Barbarian Land. It might even be the key to suppress and destroy the Barbarian Clan.

Confirming this point, Qin Yu had complicated feelings.

To ask the new Barbarian King to do something that would destroy the Barbarian Clan. It was laughable.

Thinking of what happened back in the West Desolate’s capital, Qin Yu could guess the West Desolate’s plan.

Taking a deep breath, he bowed seriously, “Ning Qin accepts the order!”

Lord Chengtian smiled, “General Jinwu, you don’t have to be so polite. There are some things to prepare and I will tell you in detail. You have to remember.”

Two hours later, Lord Chengtian’s projection dissipated and the tent was silent once more.

Qin Yu fell silent for a moment. With his mind, he caused the s.p.a.ce time rules in the tent to move slightly. Not sensing anything amiss, he finally let out a breath and there was a glimmer in his eyes.

What Lord Chengtian said roughly matched with what he had guessed. Him getting sent to guard the underground mine coincidentally fit perfectly with this plan.

No wonder the imperial capital was so anxious to get him to make a move quickly.

Of course, this also had something to do with what the West Desolate King was facing now.

After thinking silently for a long time, Qin Yu reached out into the air and a lantern appeared. He could sense the terrifying aura within this lantern.

Once it was released, it would be like a lightning strike, destroying everything in an instant.

And this was the West Desolate King’s way of trying to control Qin Yu.

But what the Desolate King did not know was that this barbarian lantern was an imitation. The real lantern was in Qin Yu’s hands.

So that was how he was able to remove the surveillance the king had on him without him noticing.

Of course, surveillance was not a suitable word. The West Desolate King was able to sense only whatever Qin Yu was willing to let him see.

Previously, in the situation with the underground mine, the sinners going on strike and Qin Yu’s death notice…he did not know whether it was the West Desolate King beating Wu Tongtian at his own game or if it was the Barbarian Curse preventing the West Desolate King from sensing anything.

But Qin Yu guessed that it was the former…to be able to control the empire, the West Desolate King also had a supreme Divine Nation. It was perfectly normal for him to be unreadable.

But now that he was doing something that may affect the Barbarian Clan, incidents may happen and he had to be on the safe side when it came to the lantern.

Blinding his surveillance was not difficult. But to seal what the king left for him was difficult. Qin Yu had to ensure his own safety in case he fell out with the West Desolate in the future.

Tapping the tabletop, Qin Yu smiled as he thought of someone.

If it helped, this would not be difficult.

……

Mine.

Deep underground.

The place the sinners called the Misty Ghost Grotto.

All of a sudden, some of the mist that floated around dissipated.

It was as if it had been knocked by something hard.

The grotto was still filled with a thick mist, but suddenly there was a strange sight.

The mist was like water, continuously separating to both sides before merging again.

Very soon, it crossed the s.p.a.ce time rules and formed an invisible restriction.

It moved to the top of the grotto where there was a stalact.i.te.

More surprisingly, no one noticed anything.

“Spirit Embryo…”

There was a sigh in the mist. It sounded slightly enlightened.

No wonder that guy’s eyes lit up.

This was the reason!

The ‘Soul Seed’ in the Spirit Embryo shared the nurturing of heaven and earth…it was an intricate method.

This luck was simply enviable.

After all, this was the world’s Spirit Embryo. This was not common even across three thousand worlds.

Gulp –

There was a sound resembling the swallowing of saliva.

Buzz –

The Spirit Embryo vibrated lightly. It could sense a strong threat.

Woosh –

The mist returned back to normal. The empty area that had stretched out immediately disappeared.

……

In the tent, Qin Yu’s eyes shot open. He sensed a strange movement from the Spirit Embryo. But when he concentrated, he did not find anything.

Sighing, Qin Yu pushed away all thoughts and simply raised the strength of the s.p.a.ce rules in the Misty Ghost Grotto.

For many years, the Misty Ghost Grotto had been a secret. The sinners viewed it as an abyss of destruction and no one dared to enter.

So maintaining its current status was the best option. To put excessive protection around the Misty Ghost Grotto would be more likely to cause issues.

After all, he was not able to know if there was a spy amongst the many sinners. Even if the leaders of the sinners were loyal to Qin Yu, there was no guarantee that the information would not leak out.

The seed was about to ‘germinate’. He would wait for a while more. If there were further strange movements, it would not be too late to make arrangements then.

Of course, the reason why Qin Yu decided this was because he did not feel uneasy.

……

“World Spirit Embryo.”

Rourou bit her finger and a drop of saliva rolled down it.

It was greedy!

It was greedy because it had eaten one before and the taste was astounding.

After so many years, it could hardly keep count of the number of things it had eaten.

All sorts of treasure, all sorts of powerful cultivators from different clans, strange creatures from the fantasy world, and even the existence from the Incense Great Dao.

But the taste that it remembered the most was the Spirit Embryo!

It was without doubt and with no compet.i.tion…it was because this thing was so so rare!

Rourou hesitated, but eventually she wiped away her saliva and pushed away her greed.

“Qin Yu…Qin Yu…you b.a.s.t.a.r.d. Who exactly are you? Why am I like this with you…”

“Investigate, I have to investigate. There is absolutely no reason I can give up the Spirit Embryo for you!”

No, it could not think. It was too painful.

Hungry!

Rourou whined miserably before turning to lie flat on the bed. She picked up the pillow and hit the bed repeatedly.

……

The next day, Lord Chengtian came to visit Hundred Saint and spoke to General Jinwu once more.

After that, he rejected Wu Tongtian’s invitation and left the border army at around noon.

This time, Marshal Wu personally sent him off and all the generals were present.

Everyone’s expressions were different as they watched this.

They initially thought that Lord Chengtian did not have friendly intentions and was here to support General Jinwu.

But no one expected that Lord Chengtian would come and go so quickly. He only stayed for a day before returning to the capital.

For Marshal Wu to send him off personally, it made a lot of things clear.

Qin Yu stood amidst the generals and could sense the gazes on him. He pretended not to notice.

He did not care how Lord Chengtian interacted with Wu Tongtian. But since he was leaving like this, he must have made arrangements.

Alas, Lord Chengtian’s group left. Wu Tongtian turned, “General Jinwu.”

“Yes.” Qin Yu greeted respectfully.

Wu Tongtian said, “Just do whatever you need to according to Lord Chengtian. If you require my help, you can look for me anytime.”

“Thank you Marshal!”

Wu Tongtian turned and returned to camp. Everyone followed him with surprised expressions. This world was changing too quickly. Just a moment ago, Marshal Wu and General Jinwu were at loggerheads. How did a single day change things?

Zhao Chong came over and tried, “General Jinwu, I have a few good wines in my tent and a new cook. Would you like to come over for a few cups tonight?”

Qin Yu smiled and shook his head, “No thank you. I have things to do and have to return to the mine soon. I will drink with you next time.”

He waved and turned to leave.

One hour later, General Jinwu left the camp.

And soon after Qin Yu left, there was a small piece of news that was first spread by Jiang Chengzi – General Jinwu Ning Qin was responsible for smuggling for the Imperial Clan.
