Chapter 326 - 324: This Region Is Unsafe
Qin Yu had not forgotten his other purpose for coming to the Demon Sect.
To resolve hidden dangers, and at the same time, absorb another wave of Flame Points.
When he mentioned it, Leng Feng’s expression changed, but after glancing at Yan Yu behind Qin Yu, he still brought him to the Demon Sect’s forbidden ground.
The Demon Sect’s array platform remained intact, without any cracks.
Just as he did in the Cyan Mountain Sect, Qin Yu began to condense the Star Prison Array.
[Purifying Malice +500]
As expected, what was suppressed below was also Malice Spirits, so he continued to build the array.
Yet Leng Feng looked on, dumbfounded, but could roughly guess why Qin Yu was being treated with such importance.
As the Lord of the Immortal Sect, he knew very well that this ancient array was unfathomable, and if it weren’t, this hidden danger wouldn’t have remained unresolved for so long.
But Qin Yu had managed to comprehend it.
About half a day passed.
[Purifying Malice +356]
It looked like all the Malice had been purified, and Qin Yu felt his Dantian empty, so he glanced at the fire seed.
[Flame Point: 103218]
Not bad—surprisingly, not less than what he got in Cyan Mountain, increasing by over ten thousand Flame Points.
The suppressed materials were similar, and the years roughly matched, so it’s natural they were equal.
Coming out from the forbidden ground, when Leng Feng looked at Qin Yu, his expression was somewhat complicated.
He understood clearly that after his daughter left with Qin Yu this time, meeting again would be nearly impossible.
He originally wanted to say something, but knew well that Qin Yu’s visit wasn’t just giving face to the Demon Sect, but had solved a massive hidden danger for them.
As an old father, what more could he say?!
He was satisfied, indeed.
But he also genuinely felt worried, so he said, "Treat Ruyu well."
"Don’t worry, father-in-law."
Qin Yu solemnly gave his promise.
"Good, I believe you!"
Three days later.
A flying ship swept out from the Demon Sect, transforming into a stream of light, disappearing instantly into the horizon.
Leng Ruyu stood at the bow, gazing toward the direction of the Demon Sect. When the scenery finally blurred beyond recognition, she withdrew her gaze, her expression somewhat desolate.
She’d been anxious when coming back.
Now that she’d truly left, a thousand complex emotions welled up in her heart.
Qin Yu didn’t speak, he simply quietly embraced her in his arms.
This time, she didn’t act reserved, but leaned against Qin Yu’s chest, for a very long time.
Perhaps.
At first she had little real feeling for this man before her.
But after spending so much time together, she’d realized that Qin Yu really was different from any cultivator she’d ever known.
One could say he loved beauty.
But he truly treated his women well, from the bottom of his heart, without a hint of pretense.
So, in the beginning, the Demon Sect Leader Leng Ruyu actually envied Lin Shuishui and Zhao Mengli a bit.
Carefree.
It was, in fact, the greatest luxury.
She and Su Xiyue appeared to lead such enviable lives, but in truth, the burdens on their shoulders were very heavy, very heavy.
But now, that burden was lifted from her shoulders.
And, with so many new resources for the Demon Sect, another Sect Leader or Senior Brother could easily be cultivated.
She suddenly felt very relaxed.
[Leng Ruyu Romantic Point: 99 (Heartfelt)]
"Hm?!"
Qin Yu lowered his head, looking at the little demoness in his arms.
What’s going on?!
Why not just Perfection?
In the next moment, he seemed to realize something... Could it be because he still hadn’t conquered the Ninefold Celestial Palace?!
Most likely, yes.
But, how could the Ninefold Celestial Palace be so easy to reach?
He’s not like a Great Saint; he doesn’t have a Divine Artifact like the Ruyi Golden Cudgel.
After gaining the Divine Body, for the first time Qin Yu felt a tinge of sadness.
But now, being able to have an immortal wife in his left arm and embrace a demoness in his right, what more could he want?!
He pulled the little demoness into the cabin.
After sending his lovely wives into the Lifebound Space, Qin Yu came out again, originally planning to take Yan Yu inside. But as he reached out his hand, Yan Yu didn’t offer hers.
Then rather abruptly asked, "Qin Yu, do you still have unfinished business in Yunlan Domain?"
"Unfinished business?"
Qin Yu glanced at this little bunny, really wanting to correct her tone—it sounded way too odd.
Could it be...
She was about to leave?
Qin Yu felt a bit reluctant.
This Guardian may be somewhat clueless, but after spending this time together, he’d grown used to Yan Yu being at his side.
With her around, at least his safety was greatly ensured.
"You’re returning to the Great Yan Imperial Capital?"
Honestly, even if Yan Yu hadn’t said so, Qin Yu could have guessed a bit.
The Flame Guard represents that supreme existence in the Great Yan Immortal Country.
To be his Guardian for more than a year was already incredibly rare. Even Qin Yu wouldn’t dare hope that Yan Yu could protect him forever.
"Yes!"
Yan Yu nodded, and added, "You’re going with me!"
This was the Empress’s imperial edict.
As Flame Guard, she must obey the Empress’s edict. If Qin Yu refused, she’d haul him to the Imperial Capital, even if it meant tying him up with rope.
"I have to go to the Imperial Capital too?!"
Qin Yu was stunned for a moment.
Honestly, from his perspective, he didn’t feel he was anything that special.
After all, just a Lower Grade Dao Bone.
His Spiritual Power’s strength might be unrivaled among peers in the Cyan Mist Hall region, but in the whole Immortal Country, he’d probably be considered mediocre.
Even knowing Yan Yu was Flame Guard, he never thought he’d have to go to the Imperial Capital himself.
Even if comprehending the Star Prison Array had drawn the attention of that supreme entity, he still had his crowd of lovely wives to consider.
Resources and such were important, but his top priority was always a safe environment.
With his current overall strength, in the entire ten domains of Cyan Mist, who could really be above him now?!
But in the Great Yan Imperial Capital... he’d probably be nothing, really.
Better to hide out in the Cyan Mountain Sect and cultivate for another hundred years!
Then, make a stunning debut.
"Yes, so whatever unfinished business you have, you’ll need to properly arrange it within one month."
Yan Yu nodded seriously, not thinking her words strange at all.
She was actually quite conflicted.
If Qin Yu kept hiding in that strange space, how could she carry out Her Majesty’s edict?!
"A month? Why so rushed?"
Qin Yu heard this and paused inwardly, keenly sensing that Yan Yu seemed worried about something.
"This region... is unsafe."
Yan Yu didn’t conceal it, speaking truthfully.
"Unsafe?"
Qin Yu was puzzled.
With Yan Yu’s strength, she could handle fifth-level Ruins Beasts effortlessly—how could she say something like ’unsafe’?
He didn’t know that Yan Yu was sent here because Celestial Tribulation descended on this region.
If it had been just an accident, that would be one thing.
But if the tribulation was related to Death Qi... then even as Flame Guard, she couldn’t handle it.
