Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 591A – The Bolie Seafolk Sent Running in Fear

Qin Yu’s eyes fell upon the girl who walked into the hall. Even with his firm will he couldn’t help but be shaken. The Sang Yueyue of the past showed clues that she would eventually become a woman whose beauty could topple nations. Now that she had grown up, her beauty was even greater than expected.

She wore a tailored dress that hung close to her elegant figure. Her yellow clothes and beautiful appearance made her seem like a flower in full bloom. At a glance, she captured the heart and soul and made one wish to protect her.

Within her fine facial features, one could still see her childhood appearance. However, there was a faint cold indifference in her eyes. Mm…as if she wasn’t the exact same Sang Yueyue she was in the past.

Qin Yu quickly restrained his thoughts. Thinking about these things was going way too far. He couldn’t develop such strange thoughts.

Sang Yueyue slowly walked down the hall and then bowed. When she lowered her head, the snow white nape was revealed. “Sang Yueyue greets Your Majesty.”

The Sea Sovereign opened his eyes. Looking at her calm face and the decisiveness deep in her eyes, his heart trembled and bitterness gushed out.

“Yueyue, do you know why uncle sent others to summon you here?”

Sang Yueyue nodded, “I know.”

“Then your mother…”

“Mother told me that as a close bloodline of the royal family, there are responsibilities that I must shoulder no matter what. I have enjoyed riches and honor since my birth and have experienced unsurpassed glory. All of that is because of my background. Now that I have grown up, I am willing to share sorrow with Your Majesty and devote my life to the royal family.”

The Sea Sovereign took a deep breath. “Good! Good! You are truly worthy of being this Solitude’s niece. My older sister has taught you well!” As he thought about his useless children, the Sea Sovereign looked at Sang Yueyue one more time before coming to a decision.

“Mister Turtle, please draft an imperial edict for me. The Royal Princess Sang Yueyue is intelligent and commendable, with a heart of endless benevolence. From this day forth, she will be given the title of Crown Princess. A hundred years after my passing, she will assume the throne of the seafolk!”

If Sang Yueyue entered the Sea Mausoleum and didn’t die, this imperial edict was the only compensation he could give her.

Mister Turtle respectfully nodded. He was the first to stand up and bow, “I greet Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess!”

Across from him, Xian Yugong and the royal seafolk branches all revealed gloomy expressions. Still, the seafolk highly regarded respect and order, so even if they possessed formidable cultivations they still didn’t ignore etiquette.

“I greet the Crown Princess!”

Sang Yueyue bowed and expressed her thanks. Then, she looked up and said, “I can agree to help you enter the Sea Mausoleum and obtain the divine stone, but you need to agree to two of my conditions.”

Xian Yugong’s complexion flickered, “Crown Princess, please speak.”

“First, I need some time to prepare. Entering the Sea Mausoleum will happen in five days. Second, I will do everything in my power to take out the divine stone. But, if anything goes wrong and I were to be buried in the Sea Mausoleum, none of you can use any reason to mention this matter again.”

Xian Yugong furrowed his eyebrows. “We are pressed for time so we can give Your Highness three days to prepare at most. As for the second condition…” A cold light flashed deep in his eyes. “The divine stone is extremely important to us and concerns the future of the royal family. We must succeed in taking it no matter the cost. I’m sure His Majesty will forgive us for any problems.”

His rejection was clear and simple. Although he had scruples, he was willing to abandon them all for the divine stone. If Sang Yueyue died, if the next person wasn’t the Sea Sovereign it would still be another member of the royal family, and this would continue until the divine stone was brought out of the Sea Mausoleum.

Even if this were to cause countless casualties amongst their bloodline, they wouldn’t back down!

Sang Yueyue was angered, “You…”

She was interrupted. Xian Yugong coldly said, “Crown Princess, we have already made sufficient compromises. Don’t try to bite off more than you can chew.”

Behind him, several royal branch seafolk coldly sneered and released their auras. Their powerful cultivations were like giant rocks falling onto the chests of those present, making breathing extremely difficult.

Sang Yueyue’s complexion paled and she took a deep breath. “I will certainly take out the divine stone!”

Her voice was firm. In the depths of her heart, she had already come to terms with the possibility of death.

“You fool!” A scolding voice rose up, as if teaching a harsh lesson. “Even the Sea Sovereign doesn’t have full confidence that he could leave the Sea Mausoleum safely. If you go, what difference is there from death?”

The hall fell silent. Eyes fell onto a figure standing in a corner.

This person had entered the hall together with Leon. Because of the tense situation, no one had worried about him. Yet he dared to say such words?

Xian Yugong coldly sneered, “Just who are you that you dare to speak in this hall? You are courting death!” At this moment when the branch families had already made their choice, he couldn’t allow any other surprises to pop up.

A royal seafolk branch member stood up. He diabolically grinned and thrust his hand out, “Go to hell!”

Initially, it was him who freely killed people at the great temple before, shocking and suppressing everyone in the sea races’ capital city.

He was impatient. He wanted to see these small and weak fellows turn pale and scurry about in panic.

Bang –

There was a loud bang followed by an earth-shaking eruption that spread outwards. The attacking seafolk’s eyes widened as faint red lines began to form in his eyes.

Bang –

Bang –

A loud thundering ring echoed from his chest. Then, like a fruit that had been ruptured, thick viscous blood gushed out from every orifice of his head. Within this blood there were fragments of organs. His body drooped down and his aura was utterly extinguished.

The hall fell deathly silent!

Everyone’s eyes subconsciously widened, shock on their faces.

No one ever imagined that this would happen. The man who attacked had ended up dead instead.

From start to finish, Qin Yu hadn’t made a single move. But, they could see the shaking fluctuations with their eyes.

This was…that person had been killed by the shaking fluctuations alone?

Everyone’s eyes fell upon the tranquil figure standing in a corner of the hall. A feeling of deep awe rose up from the depths of their hearts.

Leon nearly cried out in excitement. When a massacre had occurred in the great temple, one of those that died had been one of his good friends that he had known for many years. Although their relationship was ordinary, when he died he had been standing next to Leon and his blood and flesh had splashed onto him.

If it weren’t for this, he wouldn’t have lost his composure in fear when he mentioned experts from the royal branch families. This was simply a shadow that covered his heart.

But now, from what he could see, this extremely terrifying royal family branch member had been killed by his teacher’s shaking fluctuations alone. This was incredibly exciting to him.

As he thought, teacher was teacher! Compared to what he imagined, his teacher was even more tyrannical!

Sang Yueyue’s mouth dropped open and her face filled with shock. It was only after a long period of stunned silence that she managed to regain her bearings. She looked carefully at the person standing in the corner of the hall and only then did she discover that this was an unexpectedly handsome man.

No…to describe him as merely handsome was simply an insult. His tall and straight back, his calm eyes, his unflustered demeanor, everything about him radiated confidence and dignity.

This wasn’t an average person…it was just that in Sang Yueyue’s memories, she had no recollection of such a person.

Such an extraordinary man would stand out wherever he went. As long as she saw him even just once, she would never forget about him.

Although this person had been scolding her when he spoke, she could clearly hear the concern in his tone.

If it were anyone else, Sang Yueyue might think that he had fallen for her beauty. But, this man in front of her definitely hadn’t!

Mm…his facial features…the more she looked, the more familiar he seemed…could she have seen him when she was a child…?

Xian Yugong flew into a rage. An initial Blue Sea junior couldn’t be considered someone extremely important, but to kill such a person in front of him was the greatest provocation to the Bolie seafolk!

But as he thought about how Qin Yu hadn’t even moved and killed that junior with his shaking strength alone, he immediately swallowed up the curses that reached his lips.

“Just who are you? You dare to kill a royal descendant of my Bolie seafolk? Do you want to become an enemy of my people?”

To his surprise, Qin Yu didn’t even glance at him. Qin Yu looked at Sang Yueyue and said, “Consider this matter finished. You cannot enter the Sea Mausoleum.”

Xian Yugong was truly enraged now. He slammed the table in front of him and the little dishes atop it were turned to dust. He roared out loud, “Human cultivator, no matter who you think you are, you do not have the qualifications to interfere in the matters of the sea race’s royal family!”

Qin Yu said without expression, “And if I interfere, what can you do?”

“You are seeking death!” Xian Yugong cried out loud. A powerful cultivation erupted and the ground shattered into pieces. Cracks began to rapidly spread out towards Qin Yu.

Suddenly, there was a loud shout, “Stop!”

Dang –

The ground shook and the entire hall shivered. The rapidly spreading cracks were ruthlessly broken apart.

Xian Yugong’s face instantly paled and he coughed out a mouthful of blood. However, he didn’t dare to reveal any anger, but instead showed an expression of dread.

“Royal brother, why did you stop me?”

A white-robed seafolk appeared in the hall. The scales between his eyebrows shimmered with a radiant light. As he heard these words, his eyes twitched. He cupped his hands together and said, “Fellow daoist, my cousin had eyes but couldn’t see. If he offended you anywhere, I ask you to forgive him. Allow me to apologize in his stead.”
