Chapter 612B - Plot

“The Demon Sovereign wishes to visit the Palace Master?’

Purple Moon revealed a surprised look. She never thought that the Demon Sovereign would be this impatient. Moreover, the one he wanted to meet was not the Lucid Nether Domain Master or the Buddhist Nation Sovereign, but the new master of Nineheaven Mirrormoon Palace.

This was important in Purple Moon’s eyes. She was overjoyed for a moment but quickly shook her head and refused. “Demon Envoy, please pass on a message to the Demon Sovereign. My Palace Master just entered seclusion the other day. She informed us that no matter what it was, she mustn’t be disturbed. So, I fear that Demon Sovereign paying a visit might be for nothing.”

The Demon Envoy had an ugly complexion, “The Palace Master has gone into seclusion? When will she come out?”

Purple Moon simply said, “I cannot determine.”

News of the refusal soon came back. When You Qi looked through the message, a strange look came across her face.

Qin Yu asked, “What’s the news?”

You Qi took out the jade slip, “Your Majesty, you will understand as soon as you see.”

Qin Yu furrowed his eyebrows together. He was confident in himself before, but now that he had been clearly refused, he felt something was a bit strange. Could there be something else behind this?

Qin Yu probed the jade slip. He soon frowned. Although he didn’t speak, one could see his bad mood from the minor changes on his face.

You Qi tentatively asked, “Could it be that the Demon Envoy didn’t convey the message clearly? Would you like me to try again?” These were originally just words to ease the atmosphere. Unexpectedly, Qin Yu nodded in agreement.

She suddenly felt a little bitter. With Qin Yu’s current status, he decided to try a second time even after being rejected. This proved just how much he valued this matter.

You Qi tried hard not to reveal her own mood. She smiled and bowed before leaving. She needed to personally visit Nineheaven Mirrormoon Palace to ensure that her Holy Monarch’s message wasn’t wrongly transmitted!

Purple Moon wrinkled her eyebrows together. If You Qi wasn’t the woman who stood by the Demon Sovereign’s side, she simply wouldn’t have even bothered meeting such a minor character.

“My words were clear. The Palace Master is deep in seclusion and cannot be disturbed. There is no meaning of disrespect towards the Demon Sovereign. I ask that miss please pass on this message to him as succinctly as possible.”

You Qi took a deep breath, “Great Elder Purple Moon, my monarch is highly anticipating meeting your Palace Master. If there is a chance…”

She was interrupted before she could finish speaking. Purple Moon stood up and said, “I won’t repeat myself a second time. I have other matters to attend to, so Miss You Qi, please leave.”

After You Qi left, a thoughtful expression appeared on Purple Moon’s face. With the Demon Sovereign’s status, he would still ask her again even after she refused him the first time? This wasn’t normal at all. Why did he want to see the Palace Master?

Night arrived.

Qin Yu sat alone in the pavilion atop the summit. His face was pallid and expressionless as the mountain breeze wafted against him. Shen Yuanyin didn’t want to see him – this was actually beyond his expectations.

What was the reason?

If he directly asked the Immortal Sect about Ning Ling, it was likely to cause complications. Qin Yu didn’t want to take this risk. Anxiousness began to surge in his heart.

At this time, Qin Yu’s complexion changed. He took a step forward and his figure vanished from sight.

…

Although the Demon Envoy didn’t believe that the Immortal Sect would dare to openly engage in some murder plot after they just arrived, he still remained cautious. After personally checking the surrounding area, he went to a temporary makeshift cabin to rest.

This was the center of the entire defensive system. If there were any changes, he could process them from here in the shortest time possible.

The cabin wasn’t large. When the Demon Envoy pushed open the door he walked to a round cushion and sat down. But then, he furrowed his eyebrows. Something didn’t seem right…

His eyes flew open and his heart skipped a beat. With a loud shout he thrust his hand down. Like hitting a stream of water, a cold yin chill rushed back at him.

“Not good!”

He stiffened as a pale palm print appeared on his chest. Even though this person had the advantage of the sneak attack, they still paid a grievous price.

Bang –

With a dull thumping sound, the sneak attacker drew backwards, spouting out a mouthful of blood at the Demon Envoy at the same time.

In the next moment, that person vanished like a shadow in light.

It was only at this time that the shockwaves of the collusion erupted. The cabin was instantly blown into pieces. The True Demon Guards standing outside were blown away. The defensive system was instantly activated and countless footsteps came marching in from all around.

The Demon Envoy took a deep breath and shouted, “I’m fine! Everyone guard their locations, do not be led astray by these tactics!”

Qin Yu emerged from darkness. “They weren’t trying to divert attention elsewhere.” He had a dignified look on his face. The aura of the sneak attacker was very strange and hadn’t escaped his notice.

When the Demon Envoy saw that the Holy Monarch was safe, his heart relaxed and he spat out several mouthfuls of blood. He clenched his teeth and said, “Your Majesty, the one who ambushed me is someone from the Immortal Sect!”

At almost the same time, confusion erupted in the Immortal Sect battalion standing guard just outside the Demonic Path’s temporary base. When Immortal Sect Elders rushed over, they saw an incomparably bloody scene.

14 Immortal Sect cultivators had been blown apart, their broken bones and hashed flesh spread out all over the place. At this time, Ji Changkong was vomiting blood. His face was twisted up, making him look like a vicious ghost, “Demon Envoy! Demon Envoy! I won’t let you off!”

…

The four old ghosts who were decayed beyond reason but still managed to live had finally started the final and greatest gamble of their lives. Or, to be more exact, when the Demonic Path entered Thistle Capital, their plot had already begun.

…

14 Immortal Sect cultivators had been killed and Elder Ji Changkong was heavily injured. As news of this spread through the Immortal Sect it caused a massive uproar.

At Thistle Capital, Ji Changkong had come into conflict with the Demonic Path. And those that died tonight were all Yan people. The Demonic Path had the means and the motive to kill them.

There were still some people who thought the situation wasn’t right. Even if the Demonic Path was stupid, they shouldn’t be stupid to such a degree.

But even more Immortal Sect cultivators had anger blazing in their chests. To kill Immortal Sect cultivators within the Immortal Sect and for an Elder to almost die a miserable death at the same time, this was simply unimaginable!

Angry Immortal Sect cultivators gathered outside the mountain range where the Demonic Path was stationed, besieging the dozens of mountains. No one spoke, but the silence was even more terrifying. The atmosphere was so cold and tense that it seemed as if it would freeze into ice.

Suddenly, warm auspicious clouds appeared in the skies above the mountain summit. The phantom of a giant Buddha appeared, its lips whispering chants that resounded through the world.

“The Buddhist Nation Sovereign has arrived!”

Following that, a river appeared. It meandered across the skies, rumbling into the distance until it disappeared past one’s line of sight.

“It’s the Nether Domain Master!”

The Immortal Sect cultivators standing outside the mountain range were startled and inspired. Two heads of the Immortal Sect had arrived; it was clear that this matter would be investigated.

There was an ordinary courtyard built atop a mountain. But today, this normally common location was dazzlingly bright. Throughout the entire world, there were less than two handfuls of people that had the qualifications to be called supreme characters. But now, in this small courtyard, three of them had gathered.

The Buddhist Nation Sovereign and the Nether Domain Master stood to the left while Qin Yu stood on the right. The Immortal and Demonic sides were clearly divided. The air seemed as viscous as mud.

The Nether Domain Master was the first to break the silence. “I was originally extremely happy that the Demon Sovereign decided to come and visit the Immortal Sect. But, I never imagined that something like this would happen tonight.” He swept his eyes around. “Where is the Demon Envoy? The Immortal Sect Elder Ji Changkong would like to face him.”

Qin Yu furrowed his eyebrows. He had already sensed that something was wrong. His thoughts raced and he eliminated the idea that the Immortal Sect was directing this little play. With the statuses of the Buddhist Nation Sovereign and the Nether Domain Master, they weren’t the type that would engage in such small tricks. This wasn’t because he trusted them, but because of an awareness between those who stood at the same level.

“There is something wrong in this matter. I hope that the Immortal Sect can clearly investigate it.”

Ji Changkong was supported by someone to walk over. He loudly shouted, “Investigate what? All of the facts are present! The Demon Sovereign never imagined that the Demon Envoy would expose his identity! 14 Immortal Sect disciples! They were outstanding juniors with radiant futures awaiting them, but now they have all died! Only blood can repay a blood debt! The Demon Envoy must use his life to settle the debt of their lives!”
