Cultivation: Starting from a Mortal Bone

Chapter 557 -509: The Ugly Little Bird That Can Take Human Form (Part 2)

The Empress Dowager could feel it; this fellow’s bloodline is not inferior to hers, and crucially, his transformation can hit the key points!

She could hardly imagine Qin Yu using the fiery gaze he usually has for her to look at that little thing…

No, no!

This cannot be.

Sigh.

Her poor Little Ling’Er, how could she have so many competitors by her side?

Can Little Ling’Er really guard Qin Yu alone?

Poor her, who usually likes the little fox so much, and yet these two are the most dangerous!

…

Inside the Ancient Dark Hall.

The hall is utterly silent; not a single ray of sunlight enters, with no hint of vitality.

At the head of the room, a black mist envelops, faintly revealing a towering figure seated within, with deep pupils akin to demon eyes from the abyss. At wherever its gaze falls, figures in the hall bow their heads, not daring to meet its eyes.

“How is the situation in the Great Chu?”

A cold voice slowly resonated within the hall.

“Reporting to my lord, everything in other regions is proceeding according to plan, however…”

A black-robed figure stepped out, speaking respectfully.

The next moment, he seemed to feel a cold gaze fall upon him, suddenly making him feel twice the pressure, cold sweat dripping.

“The two envoys from Cangsha Hall have already perished.”

As the words fell, the entire hall was silent.

“Did Emperor Chu intervene?”

The voice at the head remained indifferent, seemingly unsurprised.

The Emperors of various Immortal Countries are beings at Half-Venerable level; there is no way they are unaware as the plan proceeds.

Being discovered by Emperor Chu, some casualties were within his expectations.

“What is the situation at Cangsha Hall?”

The indifferent voice carried a touch of amusement.

“Before the two envoys perished, they heavily injured Liu Tributor of the Great Chu, leaving him unable to repair the Ancient Array…”

The black-robed man paused his words.

“Continue.”

The figure at the head seemed to notice something unusual, his voice becoming icier, yet he remained calm.

Half-Venerable Emperors are indeed strong, but the plan was not to confront them directly but to gradually devour the entire Immortal Country!

As long as the Ancient Array is destroyed, and the malice released, even Half-Venerables are powerless, forced to watch the disaster unfold within the borders.

The black-robed man’s body trembled, “thud”, he kneeled to the ground.

Under the cold gaze, cold sweat already drenched the robe beneath.

“Having gone to investigate, near the Ancient Array of Cangsha Hall, no signs of malice were rampant…”

The black-robed man trembled like a sieve, yet dared not conceal anything.

“Impossible!”

The black mist surged, the figure at the head stood abruptly, his deep eyes like a reaper’s stare.

Though Emperor Chu’s strength was extraordinary, the Black Soul Hall’s plan had been ten years in the making, secretly eating away at the Ancient Array; even a Half-Venerable couldn’t restore it!

Emperor Chu had the power to vanquish two envoys, yet the upheaval of malice was irreversible unless he did not count the cost, using the Power of Origin to suppress it.

However, by doing so, it would be as he wished.

Only patience is required for a while longer; soon the Great Chu Immortal Country would be unable to resist. By then, the surviving beings within the Great Chu would only survive under the protection of the Divine Artifact in the Imperial Capital, while other regions would become fodder for the ghosts of the Black Soul Hall.

“Whilst near the Ancient Array, I sensed…”

The black-robed man prostrated on the ground, his voice trembling slightly from fear: “The presence of the Great Yan Empress.”

“Emperor Yan?!”

At the head, the black mist surged violently, a palpable oppressive feeling pervaded the entire hall. Below, the black-robed figures were filled with panic and could scarcely breathe.

The Venerable Lord might not have anticipated Emperor Chu lowering his pride to invite intervention from other Emperors.

What about his dignity and pride as an Emperor?

The Great Yan Empress, again!

Within the Great Yan Immortal Country, the Black Soul Hall had paid too many prices, repeated failures forcing them to temporarily suspend actions against the Great Yan Immortal Country.

Yet, Emperor Yan did not stop there, even extending his hand to the Great Chu Immortal Country, further disrupting their plans!

This was simply intolerable!

“That little fellow, again?”

After a long while, the black mist gradually calmed, the Venerable Lord’s voice steadied somewhat, but the oppressive feeling lingered.

“Indeed.”

The black-robed man dared not hesitate, speaking respectfully.

Once more, silence befell the hall.

Purifying malice and Death Qi was an unprecedented occurrence in this realm, however, the Venerable Lord had witnessed it personally, so naturally, he didn’t doubt it.

As for executing it?

Intelligence had revealed that this one had never left the Great Yan Imperial Capital alone.

Storm the Great Yan Imperial Capital?

Whether it could be done is one thing, but if the Black Soul Hall dared attempt such a feat, it would certainly show a flaw. The nine Immortal Countries have long held grievances against the Black Soul Hall; should the chance arise, they would take action!

The consequences of that are unbearable for him.

However, to easily let go of the Great Yan Immortal Country and this one who repeatedly thwarted their plans?

Absolutely impossible!

“The plan within the Great Chu Immortal Country is postponed for now, continue with other Immortal Countries, furthermore…”

The Venerable Lord pondered for a while, his gaze falling on the foremost figure, saying: “The plan for the Great Yan Immortal Country can be expedited; the threat should be resolved once and for all.”

Emperor Yan, are you that strong?

Since you wish to protect the boy, I don’t mind dealing with you altogether!

…

Inside the Lifebound Space.

“Brother Qin Yu!”

Seeing Qin Yu return, Tu Jiujiu’s charming eyes immediately lit up, her petite figure flying towards him, directly throwing herself into his arms.

The Beauty Clan Leader watched helplessly as the little fox was squashed, wishing she could just pull her away.

So shameless!

Such a young girl, how could she throw herself at someone so casually?

Moreover, didn’t she notice the tail of the human race’s companion was wagging?

Yet, with Qin Yu’s several Dao Companions present, and Little Ling’Er beside, the Beauty Clan Leader could only suppress her vexation, watching expressionlessly.

If not for considering Tu Jiujiu’s progress in cultivation, she would not have allowed such behavior to occur.

Perhaps Qin Yu was deliberately provoking her, seeing that the Beauty Clan Leader did not stop them, he even held Tu Jiujiu by the slender waist, letting her hang on him.

“Jiujiu, mind your manners!”

Seeing Tu Jiujiu nearly sitting on top, the Beauty Clan Leader couldn’t remain calm anymore and reprimanded aloud.

However, the little fox, having missed him so much, seemed not to hear the reprimand at all, only feeling like Brother Qin Yu was hiding a weapon on him again.

Anyway, since Brother Qin Yu wouldn’t hurt her, Tu Jiujiu didn’t mind.

“Jiujiu, your sister is calling you.”

Qin Yu looked at the girl in his arms, a slight smile on his lips.

Tu Jiujiu originally was exceedingly beautiful, only slightly immature, yet the alluring demeanor was evident, leading to a combination of purity and desire, making one fond while also stirring a sense of guilt due to her youth.

It makes one love and pity her.

The most crucial is the inherent allure, effortlessly igniting a fire in one’s heart.

Warm like jade, soft and delicate in touch, made Qin Yu unable to resist.

Despicable!

Seeing Qin Yu’s gaze becoming increasingly intense, the Beauty Clan Leader almost couldn’t restrain herself from stepping forward to pull the little fox away from his embrace.

If this continued, Qin Yu wouldn’t need to seek her at night, the little fox would be devoured completely.

In that case, the time she spent enduring for the future of the Qingqiu Fox Race…would it all be in vain?

This guy, doesn’t he need cultivation?

Can’t fathom it; though he successfully overcame the Celestial Tribulation, the Beauty Clan Leader had never seen him seriously cultivate, a total waste of talent!

Eventually, the Beauty Clan Leader couldn’t bear watching anymore and turned away.

The girl’s cheerful laughter echoed in this space.

Hearing Tu Jiujiu’s joyful voice, the initially tense body of the Beauty Clan Leader slightly relaxed.

After all, Little Ling’Er was present, given Qin Yu’s reverence towards the Great Yan Royal Family; surely he wouldn’t commit anything too excessive in front of this Princess.

As for the interactions between the little fox and him…

Since it’s not the first time, as long as they’re not alone, she would just pretend not to see!
