Chapter 532A – An Unwelcome Person

The wooden boat broke through the tumbling waves. Looking out from the shore, it disappeared from sight after a short several breaths of time.

At the front of the boat, Qin Yu had a sudden feeling. He looked backwards and saw that the coast really had disappeared. All that remained around him was the vast and endless sea, extending as far as the eyes could see.

The Endless Sea. Its name came from the boundless sea and the limitless borders one saw upon entering it.

Beneath the boat, on the surface of the wooden planks that had been cobbled together, mottled runes began to appear. Perhaps because they were incomplete and broken, the runes on this boat gave off an extremely unreliable feeling.

Qin Yu looked down and subconsciously frowned. He wondered, would there be trouble if this ship couldn’t break open the entrance? Then his thoughts took a darker turn. If these Holy Nether Guards that had inherited the work of their fathers really did decide to retaliate against him and pretend they didn’t know anything...

As Qin Yu was thinking about what he should do at this time, the boat began to tremble. Then, the sea water in front of him started to separate, revealing a tunnel leading straight to the seabed.

The wooden boat dove beneath the surface.

Qin Yu relaxed a little. It looked like even if these people had complaints, they were just complaints; they didn’t dare to push things too far. But just as this thought appeared, less than a breath of time later he discovered that he had been too optimistic in his thoughts.

Bang –

The two high walls of water around him suddenly burst apart and two giant fish rushed out. Their mouths had dark blue spikes. Although he didn’t know how strong these spikes were, looking at how they shined with an almost metallic l.u.s.ter, it probably wouldn’t feel good to be struck by them.

From the bodies of these two large fish, Qin Yu sensed the aura of them being controlled. These soul fluctuations were weak, but they couldn’t conceal themselves from the Cosmic Seacross Bell’s sensory powers.

Meimei ruthlessly mocked, “Qin Yu, you really are someone who was born with a corona of hatred. No matter where you go there are always people who find you unpleasant to their eyes!”

Hey you smelly little brat, are you forgetting who it was that spent so much effort to find you food before? Dismantling a bridge after crossing, are you really sure you want to play this game of abandoning your benefactor after getting what you wanted?

Of course, mockery was just mockery. If she needed to help, she would help. Meimei professed that she was a person of principle, and this human food-detector called Qin Yu was really useful to her.

Hum –

The Cosmic Seacross Bell began to lightly tremble. An invisible impact spread out, crushing the soul control upon the two large fish. The eyes of the two vicious fish suddenly froze and then looked around in a frightened daze, as if blabbering out loud, “Shit, how did we get here?”

They turned and ripped open the walls of water, fleeing for their lives.

…

Deep within the Endless Sea there was a large city. The array formations that guarded the city were stern and solemn, and a killing intent soared into the heavens. Right now, somewhere in a large dwelling within the city, a group of young cultivators had gathered together. There were men and women and they all had excited looks on their faces.

But at this time, all of them were silent, even holding their breath for fear of disturbing the woman who sat cross-legged in the center. She wore a sea-blue dress and her appearance was as gorgeous and fascinating as a painting. Just by sitting there, she seemed as if she had merged into one with the surrounding world.

No, this wasn’t fusion with the heavens and earth. Rather, it was with the sea that was above their heads, one that was vast and beautiful and yet served to imprison them!

Suddenly, the woman’s body trembled and her eyes flew open. Blood flowed out from the corners of her lips.

The excited young men and women were all stunned before they revealed looks of shock. They never imagined this would be the result.

A young man at the front of the crowd stepped forward. He was of average height but the aura he gave off was astonishingly strong. When he furrowed his eyebrows, it actually made others looking at him feel a stabbing pain in their eyes. They quickly moved out of the way.

“Lanlan, what happened?” His voice was deep and gentle, containing a steadiness that didn’t match his young age. Unconsciously, the fl.u.s.tered crowd began to calm down.

Hai Lanlan lowered her head in contemplation for several moments. Then she said, “This person’s soul cultivation is extremely high. He almost instantaneously discovered me and severed my control.” She wiped the blood from her mouth and said, “It’s only my soul that is a little shaken; there shouldn’t be any problems. I am going to try one more time.”

Speaking up until here, her eyes began to brighten.

But Hai Lanlan didn’t get the chance to try again. Several middle-aged people with a dignified bearing suddenly pushed open the door and rushed in.

“You are recklessly causing trouble!”

Their reprimand was harsh, but these middle-aged people actually felt helpless inside. Unless they really wanted to tear apart any pretense of face, while they could allow these juniors to play around once, they couldn’t let them do so a second time.

The Holy Nether Guards were the wardens of the Endless Sea. This was the iron law established at the very creation of the Holy Palace. These were rules that penetrated deep into their bloodline, an unchangeable truth. From the moment they were born, this was doomed to be their destiny.

They could be discontent with the situation, but they could never rebel. Otherwise, all of them wouldn’t be able to withstand the consequences of their actions.

If it weren’t for this, why would the ill.u.s.trious and formidable Holy Nether Guard of the past be stranded here for 100,000 years after the fall of the last Holy Monarch, waiting here in despair and unwillingness until the eventual arrival of their deaths?

“All of you are to be confined. Without my permission, no one can come out!”

Hai Lanlan, Liang Shou, and the others bowed before leaving.

“The Holy Land has ignored us for 100,000 years and now they have suddenly sent a Lord Commander here. What do you all think of this matter?”

“Just step back and wait a little. Everything will make itself clear eventually.”

“Humph! He had best recognize the clear reality around him. If he really thinks that he is our commander and makes some presumptuous request, I definitely will not be polite.”

Within the silence, a deep infernal energy percolated in the air.

….

After the attack of the big fish, the trip through the water went smoothly. This was actually unexpected. It seemed that these Holy Nether Guard people didn’t dare to push things too far. Qin Yu smiled and a light flashed in his eyes. It was unknown just what he was thinking.

Around a quarter of an hour later, when the dilapidated wooden boat came to a stop, what appeared in front of Qin Yu was a city brimming with slaughter energy.

But this was different from the sea race capital city that Qin Yu had been to before. This city wasn’t built upon the seabed. Rather, it hung high in the extreme depths of the Endless Sea, using seawater as support.

This was a large floating city!

Qin Yu revealed a look of acclaim. To build such a grand city in the ever-changing and unpredictable depths of the sea, the difficulty of doing so could be imagined. And what left him even more awed was the dense and strong atmosphere of the city before him.

Even if these people had been trapped in the Endless Sea for 100,000 years with countless people dying here in unwillingness, if they could still maintain such a momentum, this Holy Nether Guard truly lived up to their reputation.

The Emperor level Demon Body was just a single step away from the Saint level; this fact really did leave one shivering in excitement and elation. But, even if he really did smoothly manage to make a breakthrough and succeed the throne of the Holy Monarch, Qin Yu was someone who had no foundation in the Demonic Path and didn’t even have a single person he could trust. Just how much of the actual authority and power of a Holy Monarch would he possess? It would be nothing but a nice title and some superficial dignity.

This wasn’t what Qin Yu wanted. So, he needed to find a strength of his own within the Demonic Path. If this was what he wanted, then being exiled into the Endless Sea and becoming the commander of the Holy Nether Guard was the best choice for him no matter how he looked at it.

If he could bring the Holy Nether Guard under his control…Qin Yu’s racing heart slowed down. It was too early to consider these things. He needed to slowly and gradually walk down this road.

At this time, the city gates opened from within and a large number of armored Holy Nether Guards rushed out. These Holy Nether Guards were similar to the True Demon Guards in appearance. However, their armor was bright crimson red, as if they had been dyed in endless blood. A cold killing intent quietly spread out in all directions, scaring away the fish within a massive distance and stirring up innumerable white flowers in the water.

Four figures stood in the front. Some were taller and some were shorter, but the auras they emanated were as solid and strong as a mountain. It seemed as if they could bear the stars and the moon on their shoulders. Their eyes were cold and without any warmth, like icy spears thrusting forward.

Qin Yu’s gaze was light. It was as if he wasn’t standing on some tattered wooden boat he had cobbled together, but a supreme throne of authority. He looked back at the four people, and his carefree and unfl.u.s.tered aura naturally revealed itself.

There was a deep silence. The atmosphere turned heavy and tense, and an invisible oppression made it hard to breathe.

But the silence was inevitably broken. Second from the left, this person in blood red armor that was neither the tallest or shortest suddenly cupped his hands together and bowed. “Holy Nether Guard Vice Commander Fu Shan greets the Lord Commander!”

The three people beside him as well as the numerous Holy Nether Guards behind them all simultaneously bowed, their scaled armors rustling together, sounding as if great waves were crashing deep below the sea. Then, that originally astonishing killing intent suddenly increased, reaching a situation that left one’s mind trembling.

In the blink of an eye, the large floating city below the sea suddenly transformed into a terrifying large beast that had been imprisoned, its mouth open as it roared towards the heavens in anger.

Qin Yu’s eyes paused a moment and he immediately smiled. It wasn’t a bright smile, but it gave off a feeling of warm spring flowers. In this situation where slaughter energy reverberated through the world, many people across from him were left stunned by his actions. They thought, this boy really had some skills!

“I’ve troubled the Vice Commander and the others to wait here for so long. It really is embarrassing of me.”

Fu Shan stood up, his calm demeanor unchanging. “Lord Command speaks too seriously. As subordinates, this is our duty.”

Qin Yu smiled and nodded, “You are all too courteous.”

Behind Fu Shan, the three lieutenants frowned. Was this boy not going to mention what happened while he was travelling here? Was he going to temporarily hold it back for now, or did he have something else in mind?
