Chapter 1517 – Pressuring the Demon Sect
Chapter 1517 – Pressuring the Demon Sect
Hostile…they could not become hostile.
Unless the Demon Sect was tired of living and wanted to commit suicide.
They could only endure!
“Send someone to invite General Ning Qin into our sect!”
Night Demon Sect Master was a peak-level Ruler and it took immense control to say this calmly.
His teeth were about to shatter from the tension.
“Master!”
The clan members shouted.
“Go!”
“Yes…”
In the Demon Mountain Range, the grief and anger were apparent. Numerous Demon Sect cultivators looked resentful.
After today, their reputation as the top clan…would no longer exist!
So when Qin Yu stepped into the Demon Sect, numerous unfriendly eyes looked towards him.
They were like arrows tearing his body apart.
It was a pity that looks could not kill and Qin Yu was emotionally strong. Moreover, he was prepared and was completely unafraid.
Behind him, Hundred Saint looked impressed.
Brother Ning Qin was smart!
He was given the title ‘General Jinwu’ and was recognized by the king. He was leading the military to aid the West Border Army and was extremely powerful.
With such a standing, so what if he was facing the Demon Sect?
If they could endure it, they must…and even if they could not take it, they had to endure!
This was power!
The top sect in the world submitted to him. He had yet to join the army and his name ‘General Jinwu’ was already well known.
This would help him with his standing in the army.
The military had had a lot of conflicts with the sects over the years…it was excellent of Brother Ning Qin to choose this as an entry point.
But in reality, Hundred Saint was overthinking it. Qin Yu’s goal was just to see someone.
The cultivators were gathered in the hall of the Demon Sect. There was a saying that goes, a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse. The Demon Sect was one of the top sects and they still had some foundation.
There were more than ten Rulers amongst them. Obviously, Night Demon Sect Master was the elder peak-level Ruler.
His power was like the ocean!
Taking a step in, Qin Yu frowned as he looked over at everyone, “Is…this the way the Demon Sect greets guests?”
He was really not afraid.
Since he dared to approach the Demon Sect, he must have already made all sorts of preparations.
He had the might of the West Desolate imperial army and his ‘favored’ status.
Even if the Demon Sect had the courage of a leopard, they would not dare to do anything to him…of course, Qin Yu was mentally prepared for the worst.
With the lantern in his possession, even if the Demon Sect went crazy and became hostile, Qin Yu was confident that he could escape.
Then, he would mobilize the army of one hundred thousand soldiers and suppress the Demon Sect.
He would eliminate them completely!
Night Demon Sect Master stood up and said in a low voice, “General Ning Qin, when we last parted, we had a hurried goodbye. Now that we meet again, you have become a general. Congratulations.”
Qin Yu replied, “You are too kind.”
“Please have a seat.”
Qin Yu nodded as he walked to an empty seat and sat down.
Night Demon Sect Master looked at Hundred Saint before looking behind Qin Yu. Four imperial guards in armor were looking gloomy…and sullen.
He was a peak Ruler, yet in front of these junior Saints, he felt a suppression…the Imperial Clan of the Western Desolate was intolerable!
Night Demon Sect Master had already prepared to give in when he invited Qin Yu in. Hence, he did not delay any further as he said directly, “Our sect has prepared some resources to air the military in the fight against the West Barbarians.”
Qin Yu put his hands together, “Sect Master, you are righteous, and I will inform His Majesty of the Demon Sect’s loyalty to the empire.”
As he said this, his eyes shifted, “However, I have something that I would like to seek your permission for.”
Night Demon Sect Master was expressionless, “Please ask.”
Qin Yu replied, “I have a few things that I would like to ask Lady ‘Rourou’. Please allow her to come out and meet me.”
The atmosphere suddenly sunk.
Night Demon Sect Master frowned and he had an icy look, “General Ning Qin, it is always better to leave some leeway. Don’t go overboard.”
A horrifying aura burst forth like a mountain about to fall!
Hundred Saint did not know who Lady ‘Rourou’ was, but she seems to be the sect’s sore spot.
A cold chuckle followed soon, “Sect Master, are you trying to go against our General?” He took out a pass and held it in his hands, “Don’t you believe that with just a single order, the military outside will be able to flatten the entire Demon Mountain Range?”
Sect?
Ha!
Did they think they were still as powerful as they were back then and dare to go against the army? I will teach you.
“Master!”
“Don’t be rash!”
“It is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!”
Everyone looked flustered.
Initially they had been angry and wished their looks could kill all these despicable bandits from the imperial army.
But when the real thing was about to happen, they were scared.
Circumstances were stronger than people.
It would be a piece of cake for the army of one hundred thousand troops to destroy the Demon Sect!
Night Demon Sect Master trembled slightly as he smacked his hand down. The chair beneath him disintegrated.
He snorted angrily as he turned to leave.
Behind him, Hundred Saint’s cold chuckle could be heard, “Sect Master, please hurry and ask Lady ‘Rourou’ to come out. The imperial army is on a mission and cannot stay for too long.
Qin Yu was moved. It was actually useful to have Hundred Saint with him.
At the same time, he understood more about the power of the West Desolate military.
Even a peak Ruler like the Night Demon Sect Master was helpless.
If anyone dared to go against them, they would be destroyed!
Although the Demon Sect gave in, they must be filled with hatred towards the Imperial Clan.
This was the reason why the West Desolate was internally unstable, and it was a scenario that Qin Yu was more than happy to see…it was really not bad.
……
Thereafter, everything went smoothly.
Qin Yu met Lady ‘Rourou’ once more.
She was a natural born beauty and it would not be easy to forget her looks. But when Qin Yu saw her, he momentarily fell in a trance.
“Oh, it is really her!”
It seemed as if there was an unknown power that kept wiping away any traces of her.
“Cough!” Coughing lightly, Qin Yu said, “Lady ‘Rourou’, I asked to meet you today as I have something to ask you…”
Across him, the lady’s face was filled with fear as she lowered her head and trembled.
This made Qin Yu feel guilty even before he could ask anything.
“Do you still remember Ye Wangu? I got into some trouble because of his death. Does this have anything to do with you?”
He spoke straight to the point.
Qin Yu stared at Lady ‘Rourou’.
Maintaining his expression even if the mountain fell and not wavering…this was all just talking big.
When things came suddenly and unexpectedly…it would definitely show if one felt guilty. It was just about how much was shown.
If this thing really had some relation to her, Qin Yu might have to do something cruel.
Regarding the Barbarian Clan and his identity as the Barbarian King, he could not reveal any of that.
“No…not me…I did not say anything…” She looked flustered as she waved her hands.
Qin Yu believed that she did not say anything. But why did it sound as if she knew something?
This made Qin Yu frown as a solemn look appeared in his eyes.
“Don’t kill me!”
With a shriek, a terrifying energy surged into the air and caused it to shift like a huge scary wave.
Qin Yu’s expression changed as he was not able to react in time. ‘Bam’, he flew backwards.
Soon, the entire palace collapsed and numerous broken stones were falling!
Woosh –
The air shifted and Night Demon Sect Master appeared. He was shocked as he rushed into the ruins of the hall.
Pak –
There was a cracking sound beneath his feet as webs spread outwards. Qin Yu looked towards the ruins and frowned.
Woosh –
Woosh –
Hundred Saint was in the lead as he flew to Qin Yu’s side, along with the four imperial guards.
“General, are you alright?”
Qin Yu frowned and slowly nodded.
The members of the Demon Sect rushed in from all directions. Their faces turned pale as they saw the sight in front of them.
“Master, Master, what happened?”
An elder shouted.
Night Demon Sect Master carried Lady ‘Rourou’, who was unconscious. He crossed the ruins and landed in front as he stared coldly at Qin Yu, “I want to know, General, what are you trying to do?”
He spoke calmly but the air seemed to have frozen.
Hundred Saint’s heart froze as he cursed internally. He had acted strongly earlier as he believed that Night Demon Sect Master would not act rashly.
But it seemed like this man was about to become hostile.
Putting aside the fact that destroying the Demon Sect would cause a huge upheaval, even if they were successful today, they…would definitely not survive.
When a peak Ruler took action, no one below the King realm would survive!
Qin Yu frowned as he weighed his options because…this was the chance.
If Night Demon Sect Master took action, he would have a reason to activate the military to enter the Demon Mountain Range and erase all danger.
There may be innocent people here, but it was not as if he was killing for the joy of it. He was saving himself.
They could only blame themselves for being involved in his deep dark secret!
As he thought of this, Qin Yu looked straight at Night Demon Sect Master as he narrowed his eyes sinisterly.
He just needed to make a move…and everyone here would die!
“Master, Master, we can talk about things. Don’t be rash.” A few elders rushed in front of him.
Hundred Saint was slightly relieved as he turned to bow, “General, the Demon Sect is not ordinary. If a huge battle arises because of this, it would deplete a lot of our troops and the imperial capital will demand answers. It will not be beneficial for you.”
He never expected Brother Ning Qin to be so tough. He was still going strong against a peak Ruler who was about to turn hostile.
With a “Huh,” Lady ‘Rourou’ regained consciousness.
Night Demon Sect Master rushed to look at her, “‘Rourou’, how are you?”
“I…I am fine…” Lady ‘Rourou’ was clearly afraid with so many eyes on her and she trembled slightly.
Everyone from the Demon Sect let out a sigh of relief. Thankfully she was okay, if not, they would be unable to stop their sect master from going crazy.
“Master, the lady is alright. There must be a misunderstanding; hurry and cool down.”
“Yes yes. General Ning Qin and the lady know each other. Perhaps when they met, some of the things mentioned agitated the lady.”
“We have always been loyal to the West Desolate and the imperial family. How can we make an enemy out of the military? It will be asking for trouble!”
They threw looks around as they spoke.
Master, hurry and cool down. We cannot afford to offend the military!
“Hmph!” Night Demon Sect Master snorted coldly but his aura became a lot less sinister.
At this moment, Qin Yu suddenly siad, “I am on imperial orders to lead the army to the West Border and fight the Barbarian Clan. I have the authority to call on the people of the empire to join. Today, I would like to enlist Lady ‘Rourou’ to join our military. I hope that everyone will agree to this.”
With a single sentence, the entire atmosphere grew tense!
Everyone from the Demon Sect wanted to cry. General Ning Qin, must you trigger our sect master’s sore spot?
Enlisting ‘Rourou’, something was going to happen!
Hundred Saint breathed in deeply and said lowly, “General…”
He was cut off.
Qin Yu was expressionless, “I have made up my mind. If the Demon Sect does not allow it, it will constitute being disloyal to the empire. Don’t blame us for taking action!”
Night Demon Sect Master was so angry he felt like laughing. Even if he died, he would not allow the lady to get hurt.
Military taking action?
Okay, then let’s see who shall die first!
Boom –
The terrifying aura from the peak Ruler burst forth once again like a scary volcano, swallowing everyone.
“Wait…”
Lady ‘Rourou’ suddenly said, “I will go with him.”
Night Demon Sect Master looked anxious, “Lady…no!”
‘Rourou’ shook her head and looked determined, “I said that I will go with him.”
A huge battle disappeared just like that.
……
Outside the Demon Mountain Range, the ships carrying the military slowly made their way into the distance.
Looking at the Demon Mountain Range behind him, Hundred Saint let out a deep breath and realized that he was completely drenched in sweat beneath his armor.
It had been too dangerous!
If not for the lady agreeing at the critical moment, the military would have attacked the Demon Sect.
And his head would have probably been blown off by Night Demon Sect Master.
Hundred Saint looked up at the ship Qin Yu was on and laughed bitterly. Although he had long since known about Qin Yu’s habits towards beauties, the extent of it was a bit frightening this time.
For this lady, he was even willing to risk his life…moreover, the lady seemed so flat. Other than her looks, she appeared as if she was underdeveloped.
Or did Ning Qin have a fetish? Now that he got her, he rushed back to his ship. So…
Hiss, stop thinking stop thinking. Too hot!
……
But what was happening on the ship was completely different from what Hundred Saint was thinking.
There was no heat, only a cold draft.
Qin Yu was expressionless as he leaned forwards slightly. There was a scary look in his eyes, “Lady ‘Rourou’, I don’t care who you are and what you know. But when it comes to my information, I hope you can keep it a secret.
“If not, I will kill you…believe me. I will do what I say.”
Tears rolled down Lady ‘Rourou’s’ cheeks as she shrunk inwards and her face paled.
Looking at Qin Yu, she nodded fervently as if she had been dragged into a heap of straw.
Weak, helpless…and able to be bullied!
“Very good. From today on, you will be my servant. You cannot disappear without my permission and must stay within one hundred meters of me.”
“Yes…”
Qin Yu stood up and walked out. After closing the bedroom door, he looked annoyed.
Truthfully, killing her was his best option.
It would end everything once and for all and he would not have to worry.
But Qin Yu knew that if he did that, Night Demon Sect Master would go crazy.
A peak-level Ruler who had gone crazy and had nothing to fear. Just thinking about what he could cause was enough for goosebumps to appear.
There was another reason – he did not feel right.
It felt like if he killed this lady, he would receive karma and trouble would befall him.
This feeling was subtle yet strong.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Yu let it out. Forget it.
At least for now, he had control over her. He could monitor for a while before making his decision.
