Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 1639 – Betting With Life

The big lass let out a breath as she looked up at White Iris and said suddenly, “I finally understand why the lady calls you stupid. You are really stupid. I advise you not to move around. If I am not careful and end up killing you, it would be troublesome.”

White Iris smiled slightly, “When you hid in the room and saw Min Xiangtai and me whisper to each other lovingly, were you very uncomfortable?”

The big lass frowned before turning to leave, “I am scared of you. I don’t want to die together with you. That would be such a loss.”

She was not moving fast but she very soon disappeared. Amidst the flickers, her aura was shifting and this made it hard for White Iris to focus on her figure. White Iris could not help but look ashen.

Gritting her teeth, White Iris turned to leave. Her long gown was torn and tattered. But before her naked body could come into contact with the air, a white robe covered her body and she returned to her original state where only her eyes could be seen.

……

If Min Changjing’s face was ashen previously when he was annoyed at Qin Yu but had to control it, then now, when he felt the sudden turn in Qin Yu’s Road to Heaven, he almost exploded.

What was the meaning of this? Wasn’t a straight Great Dao enough? Did his have to curve? Did he not care about other people’s Dao Paths? Thinking back to when he kindly explained the difference, Qin Yu merely nodded, Min Changjing really wanted to slap that little bastard into pieces.

He was not going to go through with this deal!

Lord Min was about to retract in anger. As for Qin Yu’s Road to Heaven, it would become a dead end and it would be no one’s fault but his own. If he wanted to blame someone, he could blame his untrustworthy wife.

“If you dare to stop, he will be the first one to die.” Rourou appeared in mid-air holding Min Xiangtai in her hands. Her expression was cold.

Min Changjing laughed from anger, “My Lady, you were the one who did not fulfill your promise. Do you really think that I do not dare to do anything?”

Boom boom boom –

A black cloud appeared over Long Island. In an instant, it grew extremely thick, like a huge mountain that was pouring endless pressure down, making it hard to breathe.

This scene caused numerous cultivators who had escaped from Long Island in a panic to open their eyes and start to sweat. They then rejoiced.

Another one!

What kind of place was Long Island? It was one thing after another. Thankfully, they managed to escape fast, otherwise they might have been squashed like a pancake under this black cloud.

But who could tell them what was in Long Island that would create such a huge commotion?

There was the sound of something cutting through the air and a ship appeared. It was moving as fast as lightning and it penetrated through the waves of anger, not seeming to be delayed at all.

“County Lord!”

Several of the island cultivators put their hands together and looked respectful.

There was no choice. Now, the West Desolate capital was in charge of the entire place. Everyone had to be respectful to them and no one dared to resist. If not, the West Desolate Imperial Army would be sent in a flash to conduct a massacre. Whether it was an upright huge clan that had existed for over ten thousand years or an unruly demon clan, they would be wiped out completely with no one left behind.

In the past, many such incidents had happened. It was enough to show the cultivators of today who the most powerful in today’s world was.

Woosh –

The airship stopped and several figures flew out of it. There was someone in the center, and as he looked at the sight before him, a solemn frown appeared on his face but not a hint of fear showed.

As the County Lord of Thousand Islands, he was taking care of this place. Hence, he represented the West Desolate capital. Who dared to act rashly?

However, the commotion on Long Island was a little too big and the County Lord had to stop to ask questions on the way. Otherwise he would have ordered his airship to head straight for the island and to mess up their waterborne transportation. He would then catch the person who made such a huge commotion and deal with them later!

“What is happening here?”

The County Lord asked. If anyone could tell him and they wanted incense power, as long as their request was not overboard, they would definitely get something at the end.

But everyone looked at each other as they scratched their heads. No one knew anything. When the County Lord asked, no one dared to say anything unless they were tired of living. It was not a way to build a relationship but would only be digging a grave for oneself!

The County Lord’s expression fell as he quickly started thinking. This was unexpected.

The cultivators from the Thousand Islands had always been attentive. But this time, though such a huge thing happened, no one knew anything.

Coincidentally, Long Island was a place that he had sold for a fortune. Although he gave most of it to the country’s reserves, the portion that he kept, kept him happy for many days. He never expected that the huge fortune he received back then would become a hot potato that scalded his hand.

The County Lord looked at the commotion on Long Island and gritted his teeth. He ordered for the guards from the county to be mobilized. If this continued on and something happened, he would be the first one to blame.

But at this moment, the County Lord frowned slightly. He took out a seal and after using his divine sense to read it, his expression changed.

As he looked in the direction of Long Island, deep awe subconsciously filled his eyes.

Taking a deep breath, the County Lord’s eyes were like lightning and he coldly glanced at the cultivators, “The surrounding thousand miles around Long Island has been determined a restricted area by the court. No one is allowed to personally investigate nor enter. If you do, do not blame the county laws for being heartless!”

Everyone was shock and no one dared to stay. They all found excuses to leave. No wonder there was such a huge commotion. It was related to the West Desolate court. Could it be a strong cultivator from the court killing the criminals from the blood list here?

The County Lord looked at Long Island once more, “Let’s move back a few hundred miles.” The airship flew back and did not dare to stay any longer.

At this moment, Qin Yu was in the closed-door mediation room. Rourou looked up to the sky and her sneer grew even more, “Do you think I will be scared?”

Min Changjing said slowly, “You may not be scared. But if you really do it, the ending is not certain.”

“Min Xiangtai will die.”

“Marquis Chongwu will also die.”

Rourou narrowed her eyes, “Then let’s try.” She pressed slightly and there was a ‘crack crack’ sound from Min Xiangtai’s neck. Cracks appeared around it.

Small light rays appeared.

The vein in Min Changjing’s head pulsed and the golden ray from his fingertip grew more intense as it entered Qin Yu’s various paths. It was like a flooded mountain giving rise to a river and could flood the riverbed at any moment.

Rourou sneered as she opened her mouth and swallowed. Golden light flooded out of the cracks in Min Xiangtai’s neck…

“Stop!”

Min Changjing shouted as his face twisted, “My Lady, there is no such thing in this world. Are you really forcing me to destroy indiscriminately?”

Rourou closed her mouth and allowed a fragment of golden light to float between her mouth and nose, “If you are any slower, I will really consume him.”

Min Changjing bit his tongue and remained silent.

He knew that if he spoke, he would lose this bet.

But he was also not willing to take the bet!

He only had this one son. If his son died, what was he going to do in the future?

Rourou smiled, “Now, we can discuss the terms of this deal once more.”
