Chapter 1373: Collaborate

Chapter 1373: Collaborate

Number 327 had a stiffened expression and his eyes burned furiously. The clan had decided to teach the West Desolate a lesson through heavy means. They gave everything and sent the fourth Half-King down.

He had felt the strength of the fourth Half-King. However, it disappeared after a short while. Just now, the clan sent an urgent message saying that the fourth Half-King met a strong opponent and was forced out of Bounded Zero Place. One of the people involved was the third prince of the West Desolate, Li Four Seasons.

Damn it!

It was obvious that the West Desolate predicted their movements and made preparations to chase their fourth Half-King away. This meant that all the clan’s actions were predicted in advance by the West Desolate’s plan.

In the eyes of Number 327, the situation had deteriorated sharply and it was now very dangerous. Since the West Desolate managed to force the fourth Half-King away, the clan had been tricked by them and they would take reactionary measures now.

Phew.

Number 327 stood up suddenly. His sharp eyes scanned his surroundings and he bellowed, “Everyone, the West Desolate is outrageous and they want to harm our clan! Our current situation is not good and we do not have any other choice. We have to make the first move to have the upper hand. This is our chance!”

“That’s right. We cannot sit and wait to be eaten!”

“How dare the West Desolate attack our clan? We have to make them pay!”

“I have always wanted to teach them a lesson. The fragmented area is our land, how can they desire it!”

The crowd clamored and the atmosphere was intense.

Number 418’s lips twitched slightly. His eyes swept across the crowd but he did not say anything. Yet, there was worry in his eyes.

Number 327 waved his hand, “Relay my orders. Summon all our members – we are fighting against the West Desolate!”

“Yes!”

The crowd acknowledged and they turned and left.

Number 327 said, “Number 418, you stay.”

Number 318 stopped and turned around.

At this moment, in a small world fragment not far away from the Mysterious Clan, the space vibrated and shrouded Qin Yu and his men.

Rice Paper stared intently at Qin Yu. She marveled at how crafty he was. He had truly predicted that this would happen.

From their location, they could easily see the group of Mysterious Clan members gathered together. The killing intent in the atmosphere was thick and it was obvious that something massive was about to happen. Knowing the general situation, it was easy to guess what the Mysterious Clan was about to do next.

Soft Peach raised an eyebrow and she looked down on the group for marveling at Qin Yu. Of course the man she chose was someone capable.

However, Rice Paper, this brat is going slightly overboard. Surprise and shock was sufficient. Why did she keep on staring at Qin Yu? Hey, if you continue staring at my man, I am going to take it as a warning sign. You better be ready for the consequences.

At that point, Qin Yu coughed slightly and gave Soft Peach a warning. Then he said, “Alright, things are going according to plan. That clan has been forced into a corner and they are naturally blaming it on the World of Darkness. They are definitely going to create havoc. We shall proceed according to plan but remain cautious. Remember to act natural. Under such circumstances, the Mysterious Clan will not reject us.”

The group nodded in agreement, “Yes, Mister Ninth.”

Qin Yu announced, “Alright, let’s head out!” Turning around, he changed his appearance. This time, he was taller and his face was longer. His eyes were deep but prominent.

Soft Peach’s eyes twinkled. Qin Yu had mastered a skill to change his appearance. If they were together, he could change his appearance to suit her taste anytime. He was such a complete man!

This woman…

Qin Yu’s lips twitched. He was surprised that he knew what she was thinking just from her subtle facial expressions. This was also the case when Soft Peach looked at Rice Paper.

If he was not clear in his heart…nonsense, how could he be with this crazy woman? It was only a coincidence!

Ignore this, concentrate on real matters.

“Let’s go!”

With a light order, Qin Yu flew forward. Soft Peach followed after him like a sticky shadow. The group of four wore a serious expression as they followed along. It would be a lie to say they were not worried. After all, not everyone was born to be victorious.

Qin Yu’s eyes swept across them and he heaved a sigh of relief. Their nervous expressions were very suitable for the current scenario.

They did not cover their aura and they were quickly discovered by the Mysterious Clan cultivators. They cried, “Fragmented area rogue cultivators!”

Their cry was filled with anger and they instantly rushed towards the group.

Qin Yu lifted a hand and pressed it forward. The space in front shook violently and an invisible force gushed out to crush the people.

Killing intent surged from his chest but he suppressed it. With a calm expression, he said, “I am here to collaborate with you guys. Report this to your leaders quickly or you will take responsibility for anything that goes wrong!”

His tone was cold as he withdrew his attack. The cultivators were furious and they wanted to retaliate. However, their opponent had easily suppressed them and there was no way they would be able to win a sparring match.

“Look after them, I will report this!” One of the cultivators gave an order as he turned and left.

Soon, another group flew over. Qin Yu’s eyes flashed. He recognized someone in the group.

Number 418 frowned slightly and his expression was cold as he asked, “Vast Brightness World cultivators, what is the matter?”

He was focused on Qin Yu because of his strong aura. He knew at a glance that Qin Yu was not someone he could mess with.

Soaring Sky, Rice Paper, Zhou Lei, and Ruan Jing were not strong but he did not need to have any regard for them.

As for the smiling girl behind Qin Yu, she was very pretty but there was also a dangerous aura together with her beauty.

She was very strong!

She might even be stronger than Qin Yu!

Qin Yu said, “I am Virtuous Nine and I would like to propose collaborating with you today to fight against the World of Darkness. Are you the right person for this?”

Although he had heard the report and he now personally met the group, Number 418’s expression changed and he scanned them. In a low voice, he said, “This is not a good place to talk. Please follow me.”

Qin Yu expressionlessly nodded, “Alright.”

Under the Mysterious Clan’s close watch, the group was led to where Number 327 was. He sat in a high chair and his eyes shone brilliantly. He said, “Number 418 told me that rogue cultivators from the Vast Brightness World want to collaborate with us to eliminate the World of Darkness. I don’t understand where you guys got your guts from. How dare you come into our territory? Don’t forget that we were in a conflict not too long ago!”

He looked down upon them and his body shook slightly as his eyes created a pressure that shrouded the group.

The four weaker people were suppressed and they grunted as their expressions turned pale.

Qin Yu stepped forward and stomped down hard. The entire hall shook violently.

He lifted his head and met Number 327’s gaze. It was cold, resolute, and fearless. “Of course I dared to come here because I am confident. If we can’t reach an agreement with you now for the collaboration, we can escape this place.”

“Ridiculous!” One of the cultivators nearby Number 327 shroud, “You are mere cultivators from the Vast Brightness World. How dare you act so outrageously in front of His Highness!”

He threw a punch out.

Qin Yu scoffed and retaliated.

Boom!

A large explosion sounded in the hall and the cultivator from the Mysterious Clan jumped back in shock. His eyes raged and he cried as he tried to stabilize himself. Yet he could not help but fly back from the blow. Eventually, his body struck a corner of the hall with a loud bang.

“You are courting death!” He shouted angrily and he stomped down again to fly over.

Anger flooded Qin Yu’s eyes and he yelled, “I will take care of you!”

Boom!

Boundless killing intent poured out from him.

Number 327 ordered, “Stop it!”

The Mysterious Clan cultivator flipped around and landed. An unwilling look was in his eyes as he said, “Yes, Your Highness!” He glared at Qin Yu and swiped his sleeve as he turned and left. He was too ashamed to remain in this hall any longer.

Qin Yu’s eyes narrowed. He held himself straight and his breathing remained strong, “It seems that you are the highest-standing person in this hall. Please let me know if you agree to this alliance.”

Number 327 lightly said, “I am not even sure what happened. Why should I ally with you?”

Qin Yu scoffed, “Oh? That is strange. Didn’t you find the bodies of your men?”

Before Number 327 replied, Qin Yu added, “Time is tight. Let’s stop beating around the bushes. The World of Darkness has tricked all of us! Although we are not sure what the World of Darkness has up its sleeve, we are both its victims.

“If we ally together, we might strike a balance and break through their plans. I am here today to express the sincerity of the Vast Brightness World. Otherwise, I would not have led these juniors here with me! If you guys are from the Vast Brightness World, you will know their statuses…I don’t have time to waste. If you are willing to collaborate, give me an answer quickly!”

His attitude was very powerful and he even made his own group of men shudder. Soaring Sky and the rest shuddered at the thought that the Mysterious Clan might flip out at any moment.

At that point, Qin Yu and Soft Peach could escape but the rest of them would be pathetic victims in this entanglement!

Luckily, the Mysterious Clan cultivators did not fly into an outburst despite their unhappy expressions.

Since they did not fly into an outburst, it meant that there was progress. The group of four were impressed by Mister Ninth’s tactics once again!

The Mysterious Clan had already prepared men to investigate the backgrounds of the Vast Brightness World cultivators. They needed to have high statuses to ally with each other.

Soon, Number 418 rushed into the hall and whispered a few words to Number 327. His eyes glistened as he listened to Number 418’s report.

Transcendent Sword Sect, Folded Kite Half Saint, Ancient Thunder Domain, Guiding Chapter Academy…there was also the only daughter of the Spring Master.

These people all had good backgrounds and Peachy also had a very high status. They came here for a good reason.

The only person they did not have information on was Virtuous Nine. However, this was natural. There were many old cultivators in the fragmented area who closed themselves away in cultivation for a long time. These men only pursued the Holy Way.

Perhaps Virtuous Nine was one of them. This could also explain why he was so strong.

This also meant that Virtuous Nine’s words were reliable!
