Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 1761 – A – Break the Drum First

That clan’s leader said in a deep voice, “Sect Master Qin, please don’t be rash. Demon Moon is far stronger than you imagine!”

His eyes fell on Number 327 and he barked, “What are you stunned at? Aren’t you going to persuade Sect Master Qin?

Number 327 sniffled and then bowed respectfully, “Sect Master Qin, I will remember your good intentions…it is my honor for Lord Demon Moon to be fond of me. Please do not interfere with this.”

Cave Master yelled, “Qin Yu, you heard it. She is also willing; you don’t have to blame yourself!”

Demon Moon smiled faintly, “Qin Yu right? You still have a choice now. Otherwise, I will take it as you going along with it.”

Green Goddess was silent but her eyes swept over.

Qin Yu stepped forth and held his sword forward, “Demon Moon, please enlighten me.”

“Sect Master Qin!” Number 327 was fully anxious now, “I said that I am willing to stay. You don’t…”

Qin Yu did not turn around and his expression was calm, “Since I called you over, there are some things that you have to listen to me on.”

“Alright!”

Demon Moon clapped her hands and instantly, the round green moon above her head became blinding and an invisible repelling force burst out of it.

Green Goddess’ feet shifted and she moved swiftly like a shadow, her elegant skirt swaying gracefully behind. She backed off immediately.

Cave Master also turned and ran. If Demon Moon had not spoken, he would have fled from here immediately.

From afar, he looked at Qin Yu’s back and cursed at him.

Crazy, he was mad.

He actually dared to challenge Demon Moon. He did not know how the word ‘death’ was spelled.

That clan’s leader’s frown deepened. An invisible force wrapped around his body and he stood rooted to his spot.

He was having some inner conflicts!

Demon Moon tilted her head up and looked down on him in a condescending manner, “Clan Leader, would you like to participate too? Okay, I can give you this chance!”

The clan leader’s heart clenched and he stomped down and immediately backed off.

“Sect Master Qin, you are by yourself!” He did not want to take the risk of battling with Demon Moon.

This was the Demon Clan Ancestral Land and it already enhanced the strength of True Kings of the Demon Clan greatly.

Furthermore, that clan’s leader knew full well how strong Demon Moon was.

She had once chased after three ancient people True Kings by herself, and in the end, she killed one and heavily injured the two others.

Now that she had been revived, who knew how strong she was!

Swordsmen were always marked as being rash. Qin Yu, you are my mistake.

That clan’s leader wore an ugly expression and he did not expect anything good to come out of this battle.

Demon Moon snickered coldly and then looked at Qin Yu, “The only King realm swordsman of the world. I wonder if there will still be one after today.”

She raised her hands and gestured.

Like it was no big deal, she clapped her hands together and the space immediately started to shift. There had been no aura leakage as she did this and in the blink of an eye, an invisible wave of force headed straight for Qin Yu.

It appeared ordinary, but this shifted space felt like a large, open mouth. Inside, numerous razor sharp teeth were waiting for him and it only needed one instant to tear him into pieces.

Boom –

Stomping down heavily, he slashed with the Mountains and Rivers Sword in his hand.

He could not back down.

A brilliant sword flash burst out in that moment and massive sword aura solidified to a point. No one noticed that the veins on Qin Yu’s left arm had bulged up right now and it felt as though a seal had been carved on the back of his hand.

Buzz –

The Mountains and Rivers Sword sang!

Qin Yu could feel the excitement that it now had.

In the next moment, a deafening explosion accompanied a powerful force that formed circles of shockwaves which spread out in all directions!

“Interesting.”

Demon Moon narrowed her eyes at Qin Yu. She turned around and hopped back onto the moon. “All of you leave, do not tell anyone about this.”

Qin Yu’s expression was pale. There was a gash on his palm and fresh blood stained his body.

He looked at Demon Moon who had jumped up to the moon and then he turned to leave.

That clan’s leader narrowed his eyes and he hurriedly followed along.

Buzz –

The Mountains and Rivers Sword shivered.

That clan’s leader immediately stooped, “Sect Master Qin, I don’t have any ill intentions but I could not step in in that scenario. If we had angered Demon Moon, none of us would have made it out alive.”

Qin Yu nodded, “I understand the difficulties you face, but I am not good in a good condition now and I hope that you would not mind.”

That clan’s leader nodded, “Sect Master Qin, rest up.”

He took a few steps back and looked at Number 327.

Number 327 walked forward quickly, “Sect Master Qin…I will help you.”

Qin Yu nodded, “Thank you.”

Shoosh –

Green Goddess appeared in front of them and said, “I will send all of you off.”

She pointed forward and brought out the fast boat.

Qin Yu sat at the end of the boat with Number 327 by his side. There was an unmistakable look of worry on her face.

Green Goddess was at the front of the fast boat and her eyes were tightly shut.

Cave Master looked at that clan’s leader. The clan leader frowned and shook his head slightly.

“Hmph!”

Cave Master frowned; his eyes showed his discontentment.

The fast boat continued on its journey without stopping. Very soon, it had flown out of the Demon Clan Ancestral Land and it arrived at the border of the area.

Green Goddess opened her eyes and stored the fast boat, “Everyone, please.”

The clan leader cupped his hands together, “Thank you. May I trouble you to inform Demon Moon that we will definitely keep to our words.”

Cave Master’s expression darkened but he didn't say anything.

He was afraid of Demon Moon but not Green Goddess.

Qin Yu was helped up by Number 327. He stood up straight, “Green Goddess, please tell Demon Moon that I will be back for her teachings when I break through to become a True King.”

“Alright.”

Green Goddess took one last look at him before she turned around and vanished.

Cave Master scoffed coldly, “Qin Yu, don’t think that just because you managed to take one blow from her it means that you are qualified to see her as your goal…hmph! She is almost invincible!”

Qin Yu calmly replied, “That is my own matter. Cave Master, you don’t have to trouble yourself and worry about me.”

That clan’s leader raised his hand and stopped Cave Master from speaking further, “Alright, as few words as possible.” He thought about it and then continued, “Sect Master Qin, can you continue on the journey? Otherwise, I will protect you here and wait till you have recovered.”

Qin Yu shook his head, “No need. I will make a move first; we will take about the Demon Clan Ancestral Land another day.”

He reached out and grabbed Number 327.

Shoosh –

The air splitting sound emerged as his sword shadow shot through the sky.

“Clan Leader!”

Cave Master yelled.

The clan leader shook his head, “Now is not the right time.”

“The good opportunity is right in front of your eyes. Once you miss it, you will definitely regret it later!” Cave Master paced back and forth agitatedly.

That clan’s leader did not explain, “You come with me.”

He waved his sleeve and sucked Cave Master in. The two of them disappeared in the next instant.

……

The swordsman flew through the air at lightning speed.

Looking at Qin Yu’s pale face, Number 327 was about to cry. She also did not know why she was so upset.

Qin Yu looked at her and smiled, “Don’t worry, I am fine.”

Number 327 turned around and wiped the corners of her eyes, “I know. Sect Master Qin, you are a King realm swordsman and nothing will happen to you…it was just the wind that tickled my eyes.”

Qin Yu smiled, “I was not lying to you with what I said back then. I told you that I will guarantee your safety, and I will definitely do that.”

Number 327 said, “Stop talking, Sect Master Qin, you should hurry up and rest.”

Qin Yu nodded and closed his eyes.

He was not forcing himself to say that he was fine. He truly was fine already.

Because in the Demon Clan Ancestral Land, Demon Moon had pulled back with her move at the last moment.

Although Qin Yu appeared very tired, this was only on the surface.

However, why did Demon Moon hold back?

Qin Yu closed his eyes and rested. The fingers of his left hand were moving slightly.

……

Demon Clan Ancestral Land, the plain behind Sky Demon Mountain.

The revived corpses of elite Demon Clan members returned to their slumber and the broken earth was mending completely. Stone tablets quietly rested at their original positions.

Shoosh –

Green Goddess appeared in mid air. She raised her head, “Demon Moon.”

She spoke softly.

Shoosh –

The round moon shadow appeared above her head and Demon Moon walked out.

“Green Goddess, running the Demon Clan for all these years has been tough on you.”

“This is what I should do.” Green Goddess hesitated slightly, “How are you?”

Demon Moon was revived, but not completely. She was forced to a corner today and had to descend. It naturally had some impact on her.

“It is alright.” Demon Moon smiled, “As long as the realm moon in this world exists, I will never perish. However, I found out something interesting today.”

Green Goddess’ expression was calm, “Qin Yu.”

Demon Moon nodded, “I knew that you would notice it. This young lad is very interesting.” She thought for a while, “I will talk to him. You can stay here.”

With that, she stepped forward and instantly vanished.
