Refining the Mountains and Rivers Chapter 1742 – She Succeeded!

Chapter 1742 – She Succeeded!

Without needing to be said, the facts were right in front of them.

The cultivators who were gathered before the canyon wore straight faces, and anger and hatred filled their eyes. 

d.a.m.n that clan! 

Zhou Huan had solid proof for his claims. 

They had fought fiercely against each other for the Great Dao, but the twenty-four men from that clan were gathered here secretly and ama.s.sing the Great Dao. 

If that clan had not been discovered, they might have fought till the end and then realized that their struggles were in vain. 

“Kill them!”

“Take the Great Dao!” 

“b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, you deserve to die!” 

“That clan must be exterminated!” 

Furious, the cultivators yelled angrily as they dashed into the canyon. 

Their rage was targeted at that clan, but it was not just simply that. 

If that clan was hiding here, they must have treasures here too. 

The stream of dao quintessence gathering here at a rapid speed was the best evidence for this claim. 

This also meant that the Great Dao was possibly here too! 

As such, someone would be able to get the Great Dao for himself today. 

Hence, why would anyone hold back now? It was not an exaggeration to say that they all strived to be first and were fearful of being the last. 

On the blood red altar, the cultivators of that clan slowly opened their eyes and their faces filled with shock. 

They had not received a warning from their clan leader! 

However, there was no time to find a reason for this. The cultivators were filled with a mad killing intent as they dived towards them. 

“Protect Number 327!” 

With a loud roar, Number 428 stood up and cut off his connection with the Great Dao. 

The rest of the cultivators from that clan had a conflicted look in their eyes, but soon, they gritted their teeth and followed the leaders.h.i.+p of Number 428, cutting off their connection to the Great Dao. 

Number 327 was the most outstanding among them and his connection and undoing of the Great Dao was the fastest. 

By this point, he almost had half of the Great Dao in his control. 

As long as he had the majority of it, he could pretty much confirm that the Great Dao would be his and no one would be able to fight him for it.

The person who comprehended the Great Dao the second fastest was Number 418, and he was not even thirty percent done with it…he had given up directly and there was no reason for the other cultivators to hold on. 

However, it would be a lie to say that they were not angry or resentful. 

The Great Dao was right in front of them!

Especially since they had already connected to the Great Dao; they all had a possibility of taking it for themselves. 

At the very least, it would have helped them in their future cultivation journey…now, everything was in vain and they directed their hatred towards the group of cultivators that were coming over. 

Number 418 turned around and looked at Number 318, “You continue to comprehend the Great Dao. Leave these people to us!

“Remember, you are our last hope and also the future of our clan. Victory or loss is on you! Don’t waste our sacrifice and do not disappoint our clan leader!” 

With that, he stomped down and yelled, “Come on!” 

The blood red stone projection above his head was absorbed into his body. 

Crack crackle creek –

Bones and flesh broke and Number 418’s body expanded and his eyes turned bloodshot. 

A powerful, violent and terrifying aura was released from his body. 

“Kill!”

With a loud roar, Number 418 attacked. He threw a punch out and directly caused a cultivator at the front of the crowd to fly back. 

Since things were at this stage, there was no point in holding back. These cultivators would also not give that clan any time. 

There was only killing! 

They would either stand their ground until Number 327 finished comprehending a majority of the Great Dao, or all of them would die here. 

Death was not a scary thing for cultivators of that clan. Everyone knew that whether they received proper burials or were cursed to death, cultivators of that clan would never perish. 

“Kill them!” 

“Buy time for Number 327!” 

“This is the hope for our clan and we must not ruin it!” 

With a yell, the cultivators from that clan pulled the stone projection above their heads into their bodies. 

This was actually a death move for them. 

They were going to die if they did this, but they would be able to get a ma.s.sive amount of power for a short period of time. 

This was a measure that that clan had prepared beforehand in order to combat a scenario like this. 

Kaboom – 

Boom – 

Boom – 

Twenty-three people from that clan jumped into battle with the cultivators. They fought fiercely right from the start, and the battle was intense. 

No one was dumb and they could tell that that clan was protecting their last man. 

Number 327! 

He was undoing the Great Dao there and the stone projection above his head was desperately devouring dao quintessence. 

Before this, twenty-four people were devouring it. Now, he was the only one remaining…the vast amount of dao quintessence instantly flooded him. 

Evidently, Number 327 was the one who was going to steal the Great Dao. 

Now, he had reached a critical stage. 

He would be able to succeed at any moment and if the cultivators were not able to stop him, the outcome of Sky Falling Mountain would be decided. Whatever they did in the past would be a joke and they might not even be able to leave here alive! 

With two True Kings, that clan would be confident enough to take on the blame and criticism from other clans. It would be easy to justify their movements as a counter against the other cultivators’ attacks. 

They could not back off! 

“Kill!” 

“Stop him from taking the Great Dao!” 

“Everyone, our lives are in our hands now!” 

“The Great Dao is right in front of us, come on!” 

“In our entire life, none of us have been this close to a True King Great Dao!” 

The cultivators who were das.h.i.+ng into the canyon had gone mad. 

No one wanted to back off – like that person said, that Great Dao was right in front of them. 

Those who backed off would lose the chance to take the Great Dao. No one cared about whether there was someone else scheming behind them as there were too many people. If they faltered, they would lose their opportunity. 

Furthermore, they could not afford to give that clan any more time now. 

If they did not stop that clan…it would be very hard to leave Sky Falling Mountain alive! 

At this moment, no one noticed that Qin Yu and his group were already far away from the battle. It was not that difficult to not attract attention when the Great Dao descended. 

Qin Yu stood at the edge of the canyon and spectated the battle from afar as he wore a straight face. 

That clan defended and bought time for Number 327 and the cultivators were attacking them fiercely. Both sides were unleas.h.i.+ng their maximum power. Yet, Qin Yu was not disturbed. 

Because he knew clearly that the battle at the canyon did not matter. 

The fate of the Great Dao had been decided already. They were…only remnants of cannon powder. 

Without question, when the curtains closed on Sky Falling Mountain, some lucky cultivators would leave alive. Everything that that clan did would be exposed. 

Then, that clan would suffer the repercussions from various powers in the Central Desolate. They would be placed in a difficult spot. 

This was what Qin Yu would be happy to see. 

Bull Bean asked in a soft voice, “Zhou Huan, do you have a grudge against that clan?” 

She was innocent but not foolish. 

Qin Yu gave her a thumbs up and he smiled, “Miss Bull is smart!” 

Her face flushed red but her heart was rejoicing. She liked being praised by Qin Yu even though she knew that his words were just flowery speech. 

White Iris scoffed. She was getting more displeased with the way Qin Yu did things. Such an innocent girl was tricked by him, d.a.m.n it! 

However, she only thought about the lady. Since everything was the lady’s arrangement…White Iris kept her lips sealed. 

Yet, White Iris did not understand what the lady wanted. Was it to destroy that clan and steal the Great Dao in Sky Falling Mountain? 

White Iris felt like she understood somewhat. That clan had spoiled the lady’s plans and that was why Qin Yu took the previous actions. 

Phew – 

Sighing out loud, she sat down cross-legged and continued to solve the Great Dao. If she could get the Great Dao in Sky Falling Mountain, the lady would definitely look at her in a new light! 

Qin Yu shook his head as he stared at White Iris; this reckless lady was going to dash down a road of death. It truly made him speechless. 

Nonetheless, he was not going to be bothered by her. Everyone had their own fate and opportunities – they could do whatever they wanted!

He sucked in a deep breath of air and then slowly breathed out. Turning around, he said, “Miss Li, since you are awake, stop pretending.” 

Cultivators from the Thirteenth Floor were truly different. After receiving such bad injuries, she woke up so quickly. 

Li Ruhua opened her eyes and asked, “Who are you?” 

Her first question was crucial. 

However, it was evident that Qin Yu was not going to give her the answer she wanted, “I am your savior. So now, you owe me a huge favor.” 

Li Ruhua frowned. After thinking for a while, she slowly nodded. 

“I need to heal.” 

Bull Bean looked at Qin Yu and he waved his hand to indicate that it was alright. 

Li Ruhua closed her eyes and sat down cross-legged. 

She had to gather her aura as much as she could to begin solving the Great Dao again. 

This was her only way to proceed forward. 

It was not her style to leave her life in the hands of someone who could be kind and then evil in the next instant. 

The good news was that Zhou Huan did not seem to realize that she was solving the Great Dao and he also did not stop her.

The bad news was that…Number 327 was ahead of her and he was about to get the Great Dao for himself!

He almost had half of it. 

Shoosh – 

Li Ruhua’s eyes opened and she looked at Qin Yu, “You have to step forward and stop that clan.” 

Qin Yu’s expression was calm, “It is alright.”

Li Ruhua’s frown deepened, but her words had no weight in this scenario. 

She could only close her eyes and proceed with solving the Great Dao as fast as she could. In the end, her face grew more and more pale. 

Wei Han suddenly said, “Your honor, she is right. I can sense that that clan is about to get the Great Dao of Sky Falling Mountain.”

He was very respectful to Qin Yu. 

Qin Yu waved his hand, “Wei Han, like how I helped you resolve your grudge and kill Zheng Chu, some things are destined before they even happen.” 

Like the Great Dao of Sky Falling Mountain. 

Who knew that before it descended, it was already destined to be Qin Yu’s. 

Everyone in the mountain, especially those who could see the Great Dao, were simply helping him get the Great Dao sooner. 

This was truly a tragic scenario for everyone…excluding Qin Yu. 

Somehow, when Wei Han heard Qin Yu’s words, he suddenly believed that that clan would not succeed. He did not know the reason why but he was willing to believe this. 

After thinking for a while, he nodded and hugged Sprout tighter. 

He could not be bothered with the Great Dao of Sky Falling Mountain anymore. Whoever wanted it for themselves could have a go at it. Wei Han simply hoped that he could hold Sprout with him forever. 

Bull Bean’s face was red and she could not help peeking at Qin Yu. Yet, she found that his expression was rigid and he was looking at the battle scene. Bull Bean could not help but pout. 

This man seemed like he was really boring! 

The battle continued and people died. A majority of the dead were from the group of cultivators, because that clan could unleash their peak strength after they absorbed the stone projection into their bodies. 

However, this did not mean that they were invincible. A large number of people could make up for the difference in their individual strength. 

Number 418 threw a punch forward and smashed the head of a cultivator into pieces. 

He had also sustained a blow from the other party and there was a hole in his belly. 

He turned back to look in the direction of Number 327. Gritting his teeth, he roared and dashed towards another cultivator. 

“Everyone, I will go first. I hope that we will meet again in the future!” 

With an uproarious laughter, a cultivator from that clan self exploded. 

Kaboom – 

A terrifying force swept forward and directly took the lives of a dozen people around him. However, this merely caused the crowd to retreat slightly and they came back a second later. 

“They aren’t able to withstand anymore!” 

“Kill!” 

Loud shouts came as everyone glared at Number 327, their eyes burning with pa.s.sion. 

Great Dao! Great Dao! 

……

Beneath the governor’s mansion was a wide s.p.a.ce. More than half of the twenty-four statues were fragmented. They had been conserved well but their sleek stone surfaces had started to crack. It felt like the statues could break at any moment.

The elder’s face was red from anger. He did not know what had happened that caused the majority of the stone statues to start to crack!

“Clan leader! Clan leader!” 

He did not dare to delay any further even though he knew that his clan leader was currently confronting the True King from the Thirteenth Floor. 

A few moments later, the s.p.a.ce s.h.i.+fted and the clan leader of that clan descended. He instantly noticed the state of the stone statues. 

Woosh – 

He appeared physically and yelled in shock, “This is not possible!” 

Previously, he had lost his connection to Sky Falling Mountain and this meant that the Great Dao had a master. The clan leader confirmed that the Great Dao was theirs now. 

However, the cultivators from his clan were dying in Sky Falling Mountain now. 

Evidently, his judgment and the facts differed. 

Filled with panic, the elder asked, “Clan Leader, what should we do?” 

The leader of that clan sighed deeply and calmed himself down. He slowly said, “Wait.” Aside from this, there was nothing else he could do, unless he ignored all consequences and barged into Sky Falling Mountain. 

Not to mention that Qiongji was now stalking him like a tiger, Bull Dingtian would also not allow him to at rashly. 

Therefore, he could not do anything but wait outside. 

d.a.m.n it, what happened in Sky Falling Mountain? 

……. 

“Number 327!” 

Number 418 yelled. His eyes bulged wide and he looked at her. 

That’s right, he was a her. 

This was a secret that not many people in the clan knew. 

“Goodbye…” He muttered under his breath and smiled. 

Boom – 

A deafening explosion erupted as shockwaves swept out in all directions. Those that were near him died on the spot. 

Others were thrown back from the force, and their injuries were not light either. 

However, Number 418 had been the last remaining person from that clan fighting. 

There was no one to stop them now! 

The surviving cultivators had no time to rejoice in their victory. 

Smoke drifted around Number 327 and it seemed like there was magma that was about to swallow her. 

Outside the canyon, Qin Yu suddenly said, “She succeeded.” 

Li Ruhua’s eyes opened and she wore a pained look. 

So close, she had been so close to getting the Great Dao. 

However, this minor gap resulted in failure! 

She looked at Qin Yu. She did not understand why this person knew everything but did not stop her. 

Now, it was over! 

Woosh – 

On the altar, the surviving Number 327 slowly opened her eyes. 

Phew – 

A gust of wind blew, releasing her long black hair from her hair tie. 

Her robe swayed gently in the wind and she scanned her surroundings. Her face was slightly pale but she appeared beautiful. 

The group of cultivators that were rus.h.i.+ng towards her sucked in a breath of cold air. 

Number 327 tilted her head up; her voice was cold as she yelled, “All of you deserve to die!” 

Boom – 

Great Dao energy descended!
