AST 1266 – Desolate Sect, The Man By the Surname Lü Who Was Killed

The two of them continued to chat until the sky turned dark . It was then did Qing Shui asked Di Chen: “Where shall we settle down today?”

“Where were you previously?” Di Chen laid in Qing Shui arms and said .

“I was initially at the Heaven Secrets Academy but I have come to look for you . I didn’t have a permanent residence now either . Why don’t we just find an inn in the Imperial City for the night . ” Qing Shui said that he was going to the Diwu Clan, and thus he planned to first head to the Diwu Clan to take a look .

“Alright, I’ll go with what you say . ”

Qing Shui and Di Chen took the Blue Luan and flew to the vicinity of the Hu Clan . They then found themselves a quite nice inn to stay .

The rooms here were in a complete set, with living room, bedrooms and stuff . Most of them would have two bedrooms . The inn did not care if the guests were to stay in either only one or two rooms . The staff members from the inn were stunned by Di Chen’s beauty and many of their gaze unknowingly froze when they saw her .

Qing Shui exuded a slight trembling aura to wake them up . These people then withdrew their gazes in a shock . It wouldn’t be worth it if they ended up being killed instantly by Qing Shui .

“Oh, what a great aura . To think that you dare to act so brazenly here . ”

What surprised Qing Shui was that someone actually stood out . He turned to look in the direction of the voice . In the hall, there were a few men who wore brightly colored clothes and exuded a mysterious aura .

Qing Shui frowned . He had thought that it was someone from the Royal Clan in the Divine Might Dynasty . But right now, he now thought otherwise . He had came into contact with Furong before and felt that the dignified aura these people exuded were unlike that of the members of the royalty .

“You guys are from the Desolate Sect?” Before Qing Shui could say anything, Di Chen frowned and said to them .

“The beauty has a discerning eye . , to think that you know who we are . Since you know about us, come join us brothers for a drink . ” One of the men looked at Di Chen with a gleam of greed in his eyes .

Di Chen frowned but didn’t say anything . Qing Shui spoke up, “To hell with your drinking!”

Qing Shui shot out vulgarities from his previous life . Although there wasn’t a similar term in this world, it didn’t affect the other party’s understanding . However, before the other party could react, Qing Shui slapped out across space .

Pa!

Qing Shui knew that these people were strong, but there were only strong and not up to the strength of 1,000 suns . One who was at a strength of 1,000 suns were already considered to be very strong and thus would tend to use Spiritual Confinement when they attack . Moreover, for someone of Qing Shui’s caliber, it was easy for him to beat up someone of their level .

The crisp slap caused everyone to be stunned, even Di Chen . However, she quickly regained her composure and stood next to Qing Shui without saying a word .

“How dare you raise your hands against us! If I don’t kill your entire family, my surname won’t be Lü!” The face of the man who had been slapped had already swelled up to be like that of a pig . It was also flushed red from the hit and was a terrible sight .

Qing Shui’s gaze turned cold and with a flash, he turned a fist shadow into a physical punch, launching it out toward the person who was still threatening him loudly .

Pfft!

The man’s head exploded, causing the surroundings to turned dead silent . Even the people who were with the man who was just killed looked at him in disbelief before they turned to look at Qing Shui .

Qing Shui wasn’t killing unnecessarily . He didn’t like to be threatened . Moreover, so what if he were to kill someone like this? If a cultivator were to be scared and shrinked back over every little thing, it would be very hard for the person to improve .

Di Chen also looked at Qing Shui with a complicated gaze .

“I’m not interested in killing more people today . Scram . Remember, one will die easily if he doesn’t have a brain . ” Qing Shui said without a care .

The other few clenched their teeth and rapidly disappeared together with their dead companion .

Qing Shui headed up with Di Chen . They had already asked for a room earlier .

“Qing Shui, you’re in trouble . ” The moment they reached the room, Di Chen said and looked at Qing Shui as she smiled bitterly .

“You’re referring to the few men from earlier? Is the Desolate Sect at the Desolate Mountain Regions?” Qing Shui looked at Di Chen and said with a smile .

“That’s right . Do you know about the Desolate Sect?” Di Chen looked at Qing Shui .

“I don’t . Could it be more powerful that the Divine Might Dynasty or the Lotus Sect?” Qing Shui gave it some thought before asking .

“On the surface, the two Grade Four Dynasties and the Heaven Secrets Academy are the strongest . However, this is just the superficial appearance . For example, the Lotus Sect and the Southern Sea’s Putuo Mountain are both not weaker than Grade Four . It’s just that they’ve kept themselves concealed . There are many influences in this world which aren’t willing to reveal themselves . Showing off one’s trump card aren’t just accompanied with advantages . If the person were to be targeted, it could be a lethal blow . ” Di Chen smiled and looked at Qing Shui .

“Putuo Mountain is so powerful as well?” Qing Shui was very surprised . He hadn’t expected that Tantai Xuan’s sect was so powerful .

“This isn’t just it . There are actually quite a few more powerful influences . On the surface, they might not appear to be very strong, but in reality, no one knows how powerful they are . However, everyone knows that they are strong . This is an open secret . ”

“Then what’s the Desolate Sect like?” Qing Shui’s curiosity increased .

“What we have control over is but half of the Western Oxhe Continent . The other half starts from the Desolate Mountain Regions and is even more dangerous . It’s rumored that there are powerful sects and aristocratic clans there and that the area is very prosperous . The only thing is that it’s too dangerous . The Desolate Sect is a sect in the Desolate Mountain Regions which is close to us and is a powerful sect . ”

“How powerful are they?”

“I don’t know, but I know that they are no weaker than the Lotus Sect and the Divine Might Dynasty . It’s even rumored that they are slightly stronger than the Lotus Sect and the Divine Might Dynasty . ” Di Chen shared everything that she knew .

“You’re the Lotus Sect’s Holy Maiden . These ignorant fools are just unlucky if they get killed . Could the Lotus Sect be scared of the Desolate Sect?” Qing Shui smiled, not paying it too much heed .

“I’m not afraid . But I’m feeling a bit uneasy because you’ve killed the guy whose surname is Lü . The surname Lü is the most influential one in the Desolate Sect . I’m afraid that after those guys return, more people from the Desolate Sect would come to look for trouble . ” Di Chen looked at Qing Shui a little uneasily .

“Don’t worry . If they come, I’ll fight . If I can’t beat them, then I’ll run . Come, I’ll give you some things to raise your abilities . When the time comes, we’ll beat them up and send them back to the Desolate Sect, or we shall beat them up all the way to the Desolate Sect . ” Qing Shui first took out the Sacred Jade Divine Stone Ring that he had prepared for her all these time . He pricked one of her fingers with a gold needle and then let the ring recognize its owner .

The Sacred Jade Divine Stone Ring was still considered as a small divine artifact which could be used as a life-saving tool for their level .

Next were the Violet Golden Bloodline Pearl and other stuff . He even saved a Swift Agile Pill which he had refined successfully . However before that, Qing Shui applied acupuncture on her . When everything ended, it was going to be daybreak soon .

Di Chen looked at her current abilities with a slight bit of disbelief . Right now, her abilities were about 3,000 suns and was considered to be extremely powerful . It would also increase a lot in the future .

“Chen`er, actually, if we were to go through Duo Cultivation, you’ll definitely be able to attain a breakthrough and gained a lot more power . ” Qing Shui attempted to tempt her .

“I’m feeling a little overloaded as it is . In the short term, it’ll be very hard to improve any further . You rascal, only thinking of these things all the time . ” Di Chen knocked on Qing Shui’s head .

Qing Shui rubbed his nose and smiled awkwardly and then pulled Di Chen’s hand . “Let’s go pay a visit to the Hu Clan first and then head to Miss Diwu’s place . If it wasn’t for her, I’ll probably be unable to find you . ”

Di Chen knew Diwu Zhisha and Hu Yiqian as well . After all, Hu Yiqian and Diwu Zhisha were on quite good terms . They stayed at the Hu Clan until noon before they headed towards the Diwu Clan .

Qing Shui had treated Diwu Zhisha and was now considered as the Diwu Clan’s benefactor . This time around, when they headed to the Diwu Clan, some of the elders in the clan came out to express their thanks personally .

With Qing Shui’s current abilities, in addition to the fact that he had helped the Diwu Clan, he felt very at ease when he met some of their people . After all, when one had power, one would always be greatly respected no matter where he was .
It was all the more so for Di Chen’s case . She was the Lotus Sect’s Holy Maiden and this status alone was definitely very powerful . The Lotus Sect was equally powerful when compared to the Divine Might Dynasty . Moreover, if there were no accidents, the Lotus Sect’s Holy Maiden would be the one to take over the position of the sect lord in the future .

Therefore, Qing Shui and Di Chen had the rights to be treated as such . However, with Diwu Zhisha around, Qing Shui and Di Chen both acted very politely and addressed themselves as juniors .

The Diwu Clan didn’t dare to be treated with such great courtesy . However, it would reflect well for both parties .

After the greetings, the people who took part in the banquet were all the direct descendants of the faction Diwu Zhisha was in . After the banquet was on for some time, about one hour later, the others departed in turns and left Qing Shui, Di Chen, and Diwu Zhisha .

“What are you guys planning to do?” Diwu Zhisha looked at Qing Shui and Di Chen with a strange look . She knew that the Lotus Sect had a stringent restriction on the Holy Maiden .

“After the new year, I’ll bring Chen`er to visit the Lotus Sect’s sect lord . If there’s no room for discussions, I’ll take Chen`er with me and leave . ” Qing Shui said with great ease .

“You really don’t hold any regard for the Lotus Sect . They won’t let you take the Lotus Sect’s Holy Maiden with you . ” Diwu Zhisha said straight to the point .

“I’ll take her with me and beat up whoever dares to stop me . ” Qing Shui said causally .

“Sigh, Elder Sister Chen, what about you? What are you planning to do?” Diwu Zhisha looked toward Di Chen .

“He has been searching for me for eight years . I don’t know how it has been for him all this while, and therefore this time around, I’ll stand together with him . ” Di Chen smiled casually and said .

Diwu Zhisha now felt that the world was a little crazy and beyond her understanding . She let out a sigh helplessly . “What should I do? Should I stand against the Lotus Sect with the two of you?”

Qing Shui and Di Chen were slightly taken aback . Di Chen quickly said, “Don’t do something foolish . Even if Qing Shui doesn’t come, I’ll leave the Lotus Sect one day . You just stay as it is, it’ll be even better if you can replace me . ”

“My life was saved by Qing Shui . Do you think that I have a choice?” Diwu Zhisha said helplessly .
“You have the Diwu Clan behind you . Your sentiments are sufficient . There’s no need for you to worry for us . I have confidence . ” Qing Shui smiled and said .

“No!”

“If you were to insist, do you believe that I can make you return to your previous condition?” Qing Shui said seriously .

“I’d rather you let me return to how I was previously . It’d be easier for me to make my decision!”

“Foolish girl, stop creating more trouble here . There’s no need to worry, I’m capable of handling this . Otherwise, if you were to get into trouble, how would Chen`er and I leave when the time comes?” Qing Shui said seriously this time around .

Eventually, Diwu Zhisha agreed . Qing Shui hadn’t expected that after he found Di Chen, the Lotus Sect would be a great trouble . Right now, he didn’t know how to handle the situation . It was clearly not suitable for him to just kill . He could only just wait till he had met the Lotus Sect’s sect lord .

Another problem was the Desolate Sect . In the time to follow, Qing Shui wouldn’t have any time to relax . Well, it was good since he wasn’t planning to leave the Western Oxhe Continent anytime soon either . He still had to manage the matters here and in the five continents . He hope that within the next three years, he would be able to attain another breakthrough .
