Chapter 55: Buried Alive (1/2)
“Da Ge, are we going in?” Mu Rongyue looked at the crowd of people rushing in and asked Qin Yu.
Qin Yu frowned while looking forward, with a hint of hesitation hidden deep within his eyes. He only answered after a long time: “Little Yue, do you feel as if your internal energy is somewhat unstable, and do you feel a faint impulse to kill?
Mu Rongyue was startled for a moment before immediately nodding her head, “That’s right, how did you know?”
“Inside, there’s an array which makes people feel bloodthirsty. We are standing on the edge of that array. If people with insufficient willpower enters, they’ll turn into a bloodthirsty murderer that wouldn’t even recognize their own family, almost as if they became a homicidal puppet.” Qin Yu’s face was grave as he spoke.
Hearing this, Mu Rongyue and Ruo Feng’s faces turned pale.
“Therefore, I don’t want you to go in. It doesn’t matter if you’re killing others or others are killing you, it will still be very dangerous.” Qin Yu continued with a serious tone.
“Miss, what Young Master Qin said was right. It’s better if we don’t enter.” Ruo Feng did not have any objections to Qin Yu’s advice and immediately stepped forward to dissuade Mu Rongyue. She was a princess – how could she go in there and risk her life when she was more valuable than gold? Ruo Feng absolutely would not allow Mu Rongyue to enter.
After hearing Ruo Feng’s opinion, Qin Yu made his decision. “You guys wait outside. I’ll enter.”
“No way. Since it’s dangerous inside, Da Ge shouldn’t go in! Otherwise, I will enter with you.” Mu Rongyue shouted.
Qin Yu shook his head, “Little Yue, it’s still safer if I go in myself. Even if I am influenced by the baleful aura, at least we wouldn’t end up killing each other. Besides, you should be clear about my strength already, so there is no need to worry.”
“Miss, what Young Master Qin said is right.” Ruo Feng naturally didn’t let off the chance to persuade Mu Rongyue.
Mu Rongyue was silent for a moment and pondered for a long time. Qin Yu’s words were reasonable and she was definitely unwilling for them to kill each other so she could only agree helplessly. “Fine, then you must be careful, Da Ge. If something happens, come out immediately. I’ll be outside waiting for you.”
“En.” Qin Yu nodded heavily, “I’ll be going now. Stay here and train the ‘Rainbow Startling Swordplay’ well.” After he was done speaking, he stepped inside and his figure was slowly swallowed by darkness.
A sad trace of melancholy flickered in Mu Rongyue’s beautiful eyes as she watched Qin Yu’s back disappear into the dark. Looking at Qin Yu’s fading back, she felt as if a piece of her heart was being taken away.
Why did she feel like this? Could it be…
“Qin Zhao, look! It’s that slut.”
A voice suddenly came from behind them, breaking Mu Rongyue from her chain of thought. She turned her head and was startled to see two familiar faces.
The phrase ‘enemies were bound to meet on a narrow road’ really applied here; the two who had come were actually Qin Zhao and Lu Wushuang.
Seeing the two together again, a strange expression flashed on Mu Rongyue’s face. She really didn’t understand how the two managed to get back together. After the incident earlier, the two should’ve broken up.
This time, there were three others following them, forming a group of five people Nobody in the group had low cultivation.
Qin Zhao also discovered Mu Rongyue and immediately charged forward, aggressively surrounding Mu Rongyue and Ruo Feng with his group.
“What’re you guys doing?” Ruo Feng blocked Mu Rongyue’s body behind him, glowering at Qin Zhao and his group.
“Slut, where’s Qin Yu, that bastard?” Lu Wushuang shouted aggressively. She only dared to do this because Qin Yu wasn’t here. If he was really here, she probably wouldn’t even dare to release a fart.
“Shut up! Daring to call my family’s Miss a slut, are you tired of living?” Ruo Feng angrily yelled. How could he possibly endure his country’s majestic princess being called a slut?
Mu Rongyue’s gaze was icy. She didn’t bother to pay them any further attention: “Ruo Feng, let’s go.”
“Halt!” Lu Wushuang shouted, blocking Mu Rongyue’s path. She sneered coldly, “You think leaving would be so easy? Everyone, capture her! Don’t tell me you guys don’t want such a beautiful lady?”
Lu Wushuang hated Qin Yu and wanted his beloved woman to suffer all sorts of abuse from these men as revenge.
Her words immediately caused the men’s eyes to shine. Mu Rongyue’s beauty was truly rarely seen – how could they not want her?
“Disgusting!” Ruo Feng howled, his sword ruthlessly slashing at Lu Wushuang, “Die!” There was no way he could tolerate his princess being humiliated like that. Furthermore, this area had the murderous spirit of the central area that influenced his will and filled him with a strong urge to kill. The others were similarly affected and in an instant, killing intent from the five-member group filled the air as they made the first move.
And so, a fierce five versus two battle began.
……
In a desolate mountain range outside of Luosang City, Qin Yu’s parents, Qin Wu and Mother Qin, were forcefully bound and dragged to a desolate slope of land under Qin Chong and Qin Biao’s escort.
“Qin Biao, how about here?” Qin Chong looked at the black earth under his feet and turned to ask Qin Biao.
Qin Biao replied very quickly, a sly and evil smile on his face: “Second Uncle, this area’s pretty good.”
“It really is, heh heh.” The two chuckled sinisterly. Qin Chong’s face turned serious again as he turned to look at the accompanying servants: “Start digging, right here.”
“Yes.” A few of the accompanying servants immediately picked up their shovels and chose a soft area of land before digging at lightning speed.
Qin Wu watched their movements and asked angrily, “Qin Chong, what are you trying to do?!”
“Audacious! My Second Uncle is the grand and stately Third Elder; his name is not something you can casually call.” Qin Biao shouted and ruthlessly punched Qin Wu’s stomach, causing him to cough up a mouthful of bile.
“Hehe, Qin Wu, I really advise you to be a bit more obedient so that you can avoid suffering too much before you die.” Qin Chong sneered arrogantly.
“What the hell do you guys want to do?” Qin Wu spat out a mouthful of bile and roared furiously.
“You’ll know very soon.” Qin Chong continued to laugh evilly as he urged the servants dig quickly.
