Refining the Mountains and Rivers

ered.

With a deep roar, he combined his magic powers with the strength of his body and moved the stone away.
He shouted out, “It’s me! If you don’t want to die, then hurry up and get out here!”

With fluttering sounds, the frazzled chicken overlord rushed over.
It put on a sad and petulant act, like a little child wanting to find pity, but Qin Yu immediately stopped it with a hand.

He pulled out two storage bags.
Just as he was about to throw them away, a light suddenly shined in his eyes.
He dumped out all the jade boxes from within Li Yunmo’s storage bag and placed them into the golden and silver thread storage bag.
Then, he tossed that storage bag into the hole.

“Take the storage bag and hide it away.
Make sure that no one can find it!”

The chicken overlord took the storage bag in its beak and flew away.

Qin Yu’s heart calmed down a little.
He picked up the stone and covered the entrance once more, and then put the empty storage bag back into his chest.

Suddenly, the entry token began to heat up.
Someone had rushed in!

Qin Yu turned and rushed out, panic coloring his expression.
He saw a man with wild gray hair, thin cheeks, and brown eyes that made his heart tremble.
The old man waved his sleeve and Qin Yu fell to the ground, completely frozen.

The old man searched him and soon found the storage bag.
He coldly sneered and opened it, his complexion immediately dark.

“Boy, what was in this storage bag?”

Qin Yu was panic-stricken.

The old man frowned.
He lifted his hand and unraveled a bit of the spell.

Qin Yu shouted out, “Grand Martial Uncle, please forgive me!”

This old man was one of the Eastern Mountain Sect’s two great Golden Core cultivators, the High Master of the current Sect Master – Huang Dangui.

“You recognize me?” Huang Dangui revealed a strange smile.
“Then hurry up and speak the truth.
Otherwise, you should also have heard of my methods.”

Qin Yu shivered.
“It’s empty, the storage bag is empty!”

Huang Dangui said, “Since you want to experience them, allow me to help you.”

He lifted a hand and struck Qin Yu.
Black gas gushed out.
Qin Yu cried out in pain as he tumbled onto the ground, violently spasming.

Huang Dangui coldly sneered, “Are you going to speak or not?”

“Grand Martial Uncle, this disciple hasn’t lied at all…kill me…just kill me…” Qin Yu cried out in pain and misery.
Of course, most of this was just an act.
For over an entire year, he had lost track of the number of vicious poisons that had been stored within his body, and he had already developed an extremely strong resistance to poisons.
Although Huang Dangui’s poison was fierce, it wasn’t to the point of causing him to collapse.

At this time, another voice sounded,  “High Master, he is still a sect disciple.
How about we clarify the situation before dealing with him.”

This voice was calm and gentle, yet filled with dignity.
If there was someone that could speak like this and possess such a cultivation, then it could only be the Eastern Mountain Sect’s Sect Master.

Huang Dangui frowned.
He nodded, “Very well.” He lifted a hand and removed the black gas from Qin Yu’s body.
Then, he lifted him and flew away.

A Golden Core cultivator could fly at incredible speeds.
They soon arrived at the main hall of the Eastern Mountain Sect.
With a loud crash, Qin Yu fell to the floor and Huang Dangui sat in his seat.

The Eastern Mountain Sect Master was a middle-aged man with a loose, three foot long beard that made him seem somewhat free and unfettered.
He cupped his hands across his chest and said, “I apologize for bothering High Master for the help.”

Huang Dangui replied with a light, “Mm,” before closing his eyes, completely disregarding any respectful reply.

The Eastern Mountain Sect Master didn’t bother with his.
His eyes fell on Qin Yu and suddenly turned swift and fierce.
“Qin Yu, tell me, how did you leave the Pill Disposal Department?”

Huang Dangui’s partly opened eyes shined with a sharp light.
It was clear that he was paying attention to this matter.

Qin Yu’s voice trembled.
“Reporting to the Sect Master, around two months ago at night, someone suddenly broke into the Pill Disposal Department and brought this disciple away.”

“What nonsense!” Huang Dangui shouted out loud.
“if you want to spout rubbish then I will make you bleed from your head until you die!”

Qin Yu was flustered, “Everything I said is true!”

The Eastern Mountain Sect Master turned around.
“High Master, please allow him to explain in detail.” He looked back at Qin Yu.
“This is a vital matter.
Qin Yu, you must consider your situation carefully, otherwise I will not be able to save you.”

“Yes, yes, I will tell you everything I know!” Qin Yu’s face filled with gratitude.
He seemed to think back to the past and quickly said, “This disciple clearly remembers what happened.
During that night, I was cultivating when someone suddenly appeared before me.
I was suppressed without any chance to resist.
He originally planned to kill me, but when he discovered that the secret tunnel in the resting room was opened by me, he ignored me and leapt in.”

“What secret tunnel?”

Qin Yu revealed a look of shock.
“Sect Master, I inadvertently discovered an underground space beneath the Pill Disposal Department.
There is a medicine field within, and also a skeleton that belonged to a man called Cang Mangzi.”

Huang Dangui’s eyes shot open, light bursting out from them.
“Cang Mangzi, are you sure that it was Cang Mangzi?”

Qin Yu nodded.
“I found a jade slip there, and that was what he said…he also said that he had been trapped underground…”

The Eastern Mountain Sect Master’s complexion was dignified.
“Continue.”

“After I discovered the underground space, I also found a storage bag near Cang Mangzi’s skeleton.
In a moment of compassion, I decided to bury him.
When the mysterious person left the underground space, he seemed extremely sad.
He knocked me unconscious and took me away from the disposal department.

“After that, he said that we were fated to meet and he wanted to test me.
If I qualified, he would accept me as his disciple.” Then, shame appeared on Qin Yu’s face.
“I failed due to my own incompetence, so I returned here.”

Huang Dangui sneered.
“You said that you buried Cang Mangzi? Then what about the other grave?”

Qin Yu’s eyes widened in surprise.
“What grave? There is only one, and that is the one that I personally dug up in the thatched hut.”

Huang Dangui’s gaze deepened.
“Boy, you are purposefully trying to conceal things.
Do you want to die?”

Qin Yu was horrified.
“I had no idea, I truly had no idea! Once that person came out he knocked me unconscious!”

The Eastern Mountain Sect Master asked, “Is Cang Mangzi’s storage bag the one in the High Master’s hands?”

Qin Yu shook his head, “It isn’t.
Grandmaster took away Cang Mangzi’s bag.
The storage bag in Grand Martial Uncle’s hands was taken from the Seven Slaughter Demon Sect’s Li Yunmo, but Grandmaster gave it to me.”

The Eastern Mountain Sect Master’s eyes brightened.
“The Seven Slaughter Demon Sect’s Li Yunmo? Are you speaking about the incident in East Stream Town?”

“How does the Sect Master know of this?” Qin Yu asked, suddenly startled.
“Of course, half a month has already passed so that matter of East Stream Town has surely spread out already.
Then that is great, I can finally prove my innocence.
The one who brought me away was that Grandmaster at East Stream Town.”

The Eastern Mountain Sect Master’s voice deepened.
“Qin Yu, you should know that a great number of people are aware of this matter.
I can quickly find someone to testify against you.
If you dared to lie, then no one can save you!”

“Sect Master, this disciple can testify that Qin Yu didn’t lie.” A cold voice sounded from outside the hall.
With it, a beautiful figure appeared.

This figure was shrouded in light and her face covered in shadows.
Even so, it couldn’t conceal the beauty that moved the heart and soul.

Qin Yu’s heart trembled.
Ning Ling! This person was Ning Ling!

Their gazes touched before looking past each other.
She brought her hands together and bowed.
“I greet Sect Master and Grandmaster Huang.”
