Chapter 1298: Dealing With the Aftermath
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Qin De’s eyes were bloodshot. Blood was trickling out of his seven orifices as well. “If… If I were strong enough, I would’ve killed… killed all of you! Who determined that only you can stand at the peak? I curse you! I curse you to die a horrible death!”
At this time, the Halcyon Divine Bird emotionlessly pierced through Qin De’s chest, taking away his last breath. His mouth opened and closed, but no sound came out. At the same time, his widened eyes slowly lost focus and turned lifeless. Just a moment before his death, he thought he saw Death, dressed head-to-toe in black, and its eyes glowed red.
Thud!
Qin De lay limply on the ground. His head was tilted to the side. There was no more life left in him at this moment.
The crimson blood was a stark contrast against the snowy ground. The metallic stench of blood permeated the air, causing the others to feel disgusted.
Meanwhile, the Halcyon Divine Bird walked back arrogantly to the blue-clad female attendant’s side as though nothing had happened.
The blue-clad female attendant glanced at Qin De’s corpse before she said, “It’s not appropriate for the Halcyon Divine Birth to stay in this place for too long. Moreover, we snuck out this time. You can deal with the rest yourselves. I’ll take my leave first.”
After the blue-clad female attendant leaped on the Halcyon Divine Bird’s back, the members of the White Tower Council bowed in unison.
The Halcyon Divine Bird flapped its wings. However, instead of flying away, it flew to Si Wuya. Then, it lowered its head and its hook-like beak.
Si Wuya instinctively took a step back as he looked at the Halcyon Divine Bird warily.
The blue-clad female attendant called out to the Halcyon Divine Bird, “Let’s go. Don’t waste time.”
The Halcyon Divine Bird nodded before it suddenly flapped its left wing and sent Si Wuya flying.
Following that, everyone watched as the Halcyon Divine Bird flapped its wings and shot to the sky at lightning speed. In just a blink of an eye, it disappeared into the clouds high above the 100,000-feet white tower. Its speed was terrifyingly fast!
At the same time, two white-clad cultivators had stepped forward to catch Si Wuya. When they raised their heads, the Halcyon Divine Birth was nowhere to be seen.
Ye Tianxin said with a smile, “It was teasing you…”
Si Wuya looked at the sky. Alas, there was nothing to be seen in the dark sky. His expression was complex as he said, “That bird isn’t simple…”
Everyone was silent. After all, they could see for themselves that the Halcyon Divine Bird was definitely extraordinary.
Only Ning Wanqing asked, “Mr. Seventh, you mean to say the bird’s hostile toward you?”
Si Wuya was slightly surprised that Ning Wanqing understood his ambiguous words. He glanced at Ning Wanqing and asked, “How do you know?”
Ning Wanqing smiled. “Although I’m blind, I have keen senses. I could sense its hostility. As a divine beast, it’s too easy for it to kill someone. However, it didn’t kill you…”
Si Wuya said, “That’s because it didn’t dare to kill me…”
“…”
In fact, there were many words the members of the White Tower Council wanted to say upon hearing Si Wuya’s words. After all, he was too confident to the point of being conceited. It made people feel rather uncomfortable. However, in the cultivation world, the strong were absolute. Without power, it was pointless even if they had reason and logic on their sides. Hence, in view of the Evil Sky Pavilion, none of them refuted his words and only nodded in agreement.
Si Wuya shifted his gaze from the sky to the corpse on the ground before he said, “Clean it up.”
Several disciples stepped forward immediately.
At this moment…
Buzz!
The sound of energy resonating rang in the sky.
Everyone raised their heads in shock as they watched someone continuously cast their grand technique in the distant sky. In just a blink of an eye, the person was already near the white tower.
“Go in! Hurry up!” Si Wuya said.
Everyone hurriedly retreated.
At this time, the figure in the sky lowered his altitude and said, “I’m a friend of Pavilion Master Lu. There’s no need to panic.”
When Si Wuya took a closer look, he exclaimed in surprise, “It’s you?”
The person who just arrived was Qin Renyue, the Venerable Master of the Qin clan in the green lotus domain, whom Si Wuya had seen earlier through the talisman’s projection.
Qin Renyue nodded. “I remember you.”
“Venerable Master Qin, did you come to catch the traitor?” Si Wuya asked before he looked at the corpse on the ground.
“I went to the Sky Martial Academy, but I didn’t see anyone there. Hence, I rushed here using a runic passage,” Qin Renyue said. He followed the direction of Si Wuya’s gaze and frowned when he saw Qin De’s corpse on the ground. “Qin De is dead?”
Si Wuya said, “You arrived too late.”
Although Qin Renyue’s expression did not change, he was inwardly surprised. He assumed Lu Zhou was the only fearsome figure in the Evil Sky Pavilion. He did not expect there to be another hidden expert in the Evil Sky Pavilion. For that expert to be able to kill Qin De, the expert had to be a Venerable Master as well.
Qin Renyue studied Si Wuya carefully, but he did not detect the aura of a Venerable Master from him. He wondered if Si Wuya’s cultivation base was higher than his so he could not detect Si Wuya’s cultivation base. However, he quickly shook his head and dismissed the idea. It was impossible.
Qin Renyue surveyed his surroundings and sensed the fluctuations in the air. Alas, the fluctuations were not strong. In other words, Qin De died without being able to retaliate. Even a Venerable Master was incapable of such a feat.
Finally, Qin Renyue asked, “How did he die?”
Si Wuya naturally knew the thoughts in Qin Renyue’s mind. He said with a smile, “There’s no need for you to worry about that. What you plan to do about Qin De’s death, Venerable Master Qin?”
Qin Renyue scoffed. “He deserves to die.”
Upon hearing this, the members of the White Tower Council sighed in relief before walking out one after another. Then, they greeted Qin Renyue in unison, “Greetings, Venerable Master.”
Qin Renyue’s gaze fell on Ye Tianxin, who stood out from the crowd. Dressed in white, she looked otherworldly and untainted by the filth of the mortal world. He asked, “You are?”
“The current Tower Master of the White Tower Council, Ye Tianxin,” Ye Tianxin said.
Ning Wanqing added, “She’s also Pavilion Master Lu’s sixth disciple.”
Qin Renyue smiled. “I grow more and more envious of Brother Lu. He has so many outstanding disciples.”
Previously, Qin Renyue had met all of the disciples whom Lu Zhou brought to the Unknown Land. They were all extraordinary. He did not expect to meet another one in the white lotus domain.
“You flatter me, Venerable Master Qin.”
“I’m really curious. How did you kill Qin De?” Qin Renyue asked again. He could feel that something was amiss, but he could not put his fingers on it.
At this time, Si Wuya sensed movements from the talisman at his waist. He hurriedly lit it up.
A projection appeared in front of everyone’s eyes immediately.
“Greetings, master.”
“Greetings, Pavilion Master Lu.”
Lu Zhou nodded before he said, “Venerable Master Qin, this matter is finally over. You shouldn’t stay in that place for too long.”
Qin Renyue smiled awkwardly before he said, “Qin De was an elder of the Qin clan. Since he made a mistake, I naturally have to take responsibility. This is my compensation to all of you.”
Following that, Qin Renyue brought out a mystic microstone and a mystic life grass before tossing them out.
After Si Wuya caught them, Qin Renyue said, “The mystic life grass will be able to restore Qin Naihe’s Birth Chart. If possible, I’d like to meet him.”
Si Wuya said, “We’ll discuss this in the future. Currently, he’s heavily injured and recuperating.”
“Alright. If there’s a need, you can look for me in the future. I’d like to apologize to everyone again,” Qin Renyue said. Following that, he waved his hand.
A surge of energy carried Qin De’s corpse up.
“Farewell.”
“Farewell,” everyone responded in unison.
After Qin Renyue left, everyone sighed in relief again.
“I didn’t expect that a Venerable Master to be so reasonable.”
“It’s unexpected.”
“If he’s as muddle-headed as Qin De, we would’ve died.”
Si Wuya shook his head and said, “It’s difficult to judge a person based on their appearance. Don’t make judgments so quickly.”
Everyone nodded.
At this moment, Lu Zhou, who was still projected by the talisman, called out, “Old Seventh.”
“Yes, master.”
“I have something to say to you,” Lu Zhou said before cutting off the connection.
Si Wuya’s heart jolted slightly upon hearing these words.
Everyone tactfully bowed and left one after another.
Then, Si Wuya flew into an empty hall before he set up the communication formation and lit up a talisman again.
“Master, what are your orders? I’ll do my best to help you,” Si Wuya said.
