Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Impossible, absolutely impossible!”
Yu Canghai waved his hands and shouted in disbelief, “The treasure map clearly stated that it was buried in this place!”
As he spoke, he withdrew a pale yellow piece of paper from his storage ring and took a closer look. He gritted his teeth and said, “This can’t be. Something must have gone wrong.”
“Right, a secret chamber. Is there another secret chamber here?”
Yu Canghai seemed to have gone crazy as he rushed into the space in front of him in an attempt to find the so-called secret chamber.
Boom!
The stone wall shook, but unfortunately, there was nothing.
“Impossible, absolutely impossible!”
Yu Canghai repeated this sentence repeatedly with bloodshot eyes. He found the truth hard to accept.
He had not hesitated to lure the fiend beasts and deceive the Xuanyi Mountain Sect just to find an empty stone room?
Qin Jue ignored Yu Canghai. With a grab of his hand, the treasure map immediately appeared in his hand.
According to the instructions in the map, this was indeed the place where the Stargate Sect stored cultivation resources. Otherwise, it would be impossible for there to be such a large space here.
However, when Qin Jue scanned the space with his spirit sense, he found that things weren’t that simple.
This was because this map was at least a few hundred years old. However, due to the special material it was made with, it was difficult for ordinary cultivators to tell how old it was.
In other words, this place that stored cultivation resources was actually used by the Stargate Sect hundreds of years ago. Now, the treasure was probably stored elsewhere. Thus, how could Yu Canghai possibly find any cultivation resources here?
“Patriarch Yu, did you deliberately cause those fiend beasts to attack the village?”
Qin Jue put down the treasure map and said indifferently.
As soon as these words were spoken, the originally crazy Yu Canghai instantly froze on the spot and shivered, as if his soul had been extracted.
“Because of your selfish desires, countless innocent people have been killed. Have you thought about how you plan on compensating them?”
Qin Jue said coldly.
In order to attract the attention of the Xuanyi Mountain Sect, the Yu Clan deliberately attracted fiend beasts and attacked the nearby villages and cities, causing countless deaths and injuries. Many villages were destroyed.
They had even been using the name of the Xuanyi Mountain Sect to act presumptuously. Thus, how could Qin Jue sit idle?
“Senior, I’m innocent. I’ve never done such a thing.”
Yu Canghai knelt on the ground with a plop and pointed at the husky not far away. “This fiend beast was the one who attacked the surrounding villages and cities. It has nothing to do with me.”
“Roar ~”
The husky threw its head back and roared. “Senior, don’t listen to his nonsense. I’ve never done anything like this.”
Unknowingly, the husky had also started referring to Qin Jue as senior.
“Hmph, you’re a fiend beast. How can you not attack humans!”
“Ptui, don’t you dare frame me!”
“…”
The man and beast began to curse like two shrews. If it weren’t for Qin Jue beside them, they would have already fought.
Of course, with Yu Canghai’s cultivation, he would most likely be torn apart by the husky.
“Enough!”
Qin Jue snorted and the entire place fell silent.
This youth in front of them could even defeat a Heaven Stage fiend beast. Who would dare to stand forward and court death?
“Patriarch Yu, did you really think I wasn’t going to know?”
Qin Jue’s eyes narrowed with killing intent.
“I heard your conversation with Yu Ling last night.”
Yu Canghai’s face instantly turned ashen when he heard this, and he was unable to refute any longer. No one knew better than him what he had done.
“Luring fiend beasts to attack civilians and deceiving the Xuanyi Mountain Sect. These two crimes are enough to kill you ten times over.”
Qin Jue was expressionless as he directly pointed his finger.
“No!”
Yu Canghai shouted in despair, but Qin Jue had no intention of stopping.
Bang!
In the next second, Yu Canghai exploded into a bloody mist that was as gorgeous as a flower.
“Is… he dead?”
The Yu Clan cultivators present looked at each other, dumbfounded.
Their patriarch was gone just like that?
“You… you killed Patriarch?” A higher-up of the Yu Clan said with a trembling body.
“What? Do you want to die and accompany him?”
Qin Jue laughed.
How could Qin Jue show mercy to this trash who had caused countless people to lose their lives for his own selfish desires?
It would have been fine if Yu Canghai had only deceived the Xuanyi Mountain Sect, but he should not have attracted fiend beasts to attack civilians and cultivators.
Moreover, the Yu Clan was now a vassal force of the Xuanyi Mountain Sect. Their actions now represented the sect.
This was especially true since the Yu Clan had publicly announced that their backer was the Xuanyi Mountain Sect. In fantasy novels, this was no different from courting death.
“No, no, no.”
The higher-up of the Yu Clan turned pale with fright and shook his head repeatedly. “This matter was planned by the Patriarch. It has nothing to do with me.”
From his proficiency, it was clearly not the first time he had betrayed his teammates.
“Is that so?”
Qin Jue said with a faint smile, “That’s not up to you to decide.”
From the performance of the Yu Clan cultivators, it wasn’t difficult for Qin Jue to tell that they knew what was going on, so Qin Jue didn’t plan on letting these Yu Clan cultivators off.
It just so happened that Yu Canghai had called over all the Yu Clan cultivators above the Profound Stage, saving him a lot of trouble.
Although the Yu Clan was the most powerful Martial Dao faction in the vicinity and had also handed over 30% of their cultivation resources every year, their resources were just a drop in the ocean for the current Xuanyi Mountain Sect. Soon, other Martial Dao factions would replace them.
“W-what do you plan on doing?”
The higher-ups of the Yu Clan finally realized that something was wrong. He wanted to retreat, but he realized that he could not move at all!
“This is the punishment you deserve.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Jue swept his spirit energy out. How could these Yu Clan cultivators, who had yet to reach the Heaven Stage or even the Earth Stage, withstand it?
In an instant, all the Yu Clan cultivators turned into a bloody mist that dissipated with the wind.
Witnessing this scene, the husky gulped and shivered. This human was simply too terrifying!
“Next…”
Qin Jue looked at the husky.
Thump.
The husky’s limbs went weak as it fell to its knees. “I… I haven’t hurt any humans. Please don’t kill me.”
Qin Jue didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry. “Don’t worry, I won’t kill you.”
“Really?”
“Of course.”
Qin Jue changed the topic and said, “But… are you willing to be my pet?”
“Huh?”
The husky was stunned for a moment before it said without hesitation, “Yes, of course!”
What a joke. If it refused, it would probably be directly blasted apart like those Yu Clan cultivators just now.
“Very good. Then let’s go.”
Qin Jue was rather satisfied with the husky’s reaction.
Although huskies had always been very unreliable, they were still rare to come across, so how could Qin Jue not take it as a pet?
If it ever became disobedient, he could just beat him up.
“Alright, you beat me to it.”
Long Zhen was helpless. If it weren’t for Qin Jue, he would definitely have taken the husky as a pet. After all, it was quite amiable to be able to see this thing in another world.
“I just don’t know what specific breed it belongs to.”
Long Zhen was slightly puzzled.
As the publicly acknowledged strongest expert of the Spirit Central World, Long Zhen had once gone deep into the Demonic Beast Mountain Range and killed countless fiend beasts. He had even fought a Grand Saint Stage fiend beast.. However, he had never seen a fiend beast that looked so similar to a husky.
