Book 13 Three Brothers â Chapter 31 â How to Escape?
Translated by: Pumpkin
Edited by: Phillip and Robin
Qin Yu was shocked upon seeing this scene. This Profound Golden Illusion Array had already reached its peak; it was no longer in the same state that it was earlier anymore. The safe route, that they were preparing to walk, was definitely no longer an option. And, what was most important, was that... the existence of the Peng Demon Emperor and the other experts on the outside had weighed heavily upon Qin Yu.
âHow did this happen? How did the Peng Demon Emperor discover us?â Qin Yu was unable to understand.
âCould it be that the Soul Jade Slips of the guards we killed, were shattered and discovered?â Qin Yu guessed in his mind. âNo, that shouldnât be the case. They shouldnât constantly be checking whether or not the Soul Jade Slips have been shattered. Usually, one would only check it once a day. So how could he discover us this fast?â
Even now, Qin Yu still did not understand what went wrong in his plan.
âBig brother.â Hei Yu stood beside Qin Yu. His brows were also creased. âHow did the Peng Demon Emperor and them come so quickly? Even if Ao Ko were to investigate with his Demon Awareness, you should be able to sense it, big brother.â
Qin Yu nodded.
Indeed, if they were to use Demon Awareness to investigate and search for them, then Qin Yu would definitely notice that.
âFurthermore, the Peng Demon Emperor, Bai Feng, Liu Tu and Ao Ku are all here. Itâs obvious that they were prepared.â Qin Yu was still very calm. He had already succeeded in saving Bai Xin, so what if they are unable to escape from the Profound Golden Illusion Array?
If they were to directly enter into the Jiang Lanâs Realm, what then could the Peng Demon Emperor do to them?
âBig brother, I do not have many requests anymore, now that weâve saved Big sis Bai Xin. Even if we are unable to escape today, itâll be fine for us to just enter the Jiang Lanâs Realm and continue our training slowly. We could care less about what that Peng Demon Emperor would do on the outside... once we reach the Divine Realm, we shall properly trample upon him.â Said Hei Yu to Qin Yu via voice transmission.
âThatâs right, haha....â
Qin Yu suddenly raised his head and started laughing. Hei Yu also started to carefreely laugh. Their laughter spread far and wide from the summit of the Yellow Lion Mountain.
âYouâre still laughing?â Sneered the level eight Demon Emperor Bai Feng, who stood in the air outside of the great formation array.
Qin Yu and Hei Yu both smiled. The Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm had nothing that was greatly attractive to the three brothers. Although the three brothers still wanted to explore some wonderful and fantastic regions but the brothers wouldnât care even if they were to not go.
âYou in the golden clothes, youâre the Peng Demon Emperor right?â Qin Yu smiled as he said to the Peng Demon Emperor outside.
âImpudent!â
Ao Ku, Bai Feng, Liu Tu as well as the group of Demon Emperors standing behind the Peng Demon Emperor shouted nearly simultaneously.
âShut your mouths.â Said Qin Yu indifferently. âIâm talking with the Peng Demon Emperor, what are you all trying to butt in for?â At this moment, Qin Yuâs frame of mind was still extremely relaxed. He wanted to see what exactly the Peng Demon Emperor could do.
âYou....â Ao Ku and the other Demon Emperors immediately grew angry.
The Peng Demon Emperor raised his hand and the rest of the Demon Emperors immediately didnât dare to utter a voice; they just continued to stare at Qin Yu angrily.
The Peng Demon Emperor looked at Qin Yu with his emotionless eyes. âYou are Qin Yu? That lucky fellow who managed to obtain the Ten Thousand Beasts Atlas and the Bewitching God Painting? The Qin Yu who used the Ten Thousand Beasts Atlas and killed a whole bunch of Immortal Emperors underneath Emperor Yu?â
âCorrect.â Said Qin Yu as he looked at the Peng Demon Emperor.
With Qin Yuâs current soul realmâs level and the assistance from the Meteoric Tear, he was able to clearly see the appearance of the Peng Demon Emperor. What caught Qin Yuâs attention the most was... that this Peng Demon Emperorâs two brows were like sharp swords. His icy cold gaze caused Qin Yu to have some impressions about him in his mind.
These kinds of people are usually extremely ruthless and fierce. They belonged to the type that would rather kill the entire world than have the world betray them.
âPeng Demon Emperor, you appear to know me pretty well. Could it be that you also want to obtain the Ten Thousand Beasts Atlas and the Bewitching God Painting?â Said Qin Yu while smiling.
âBewitching God Painting.â The Peng Demon Emperor sneered. âThat Bewitching God Temple is not something that appeals to me. How could the treasures within it be comparable to my Inherited Treasure? As for the Ten Thousand Beasts Atlas... haha, I know that it contains three high ranked Demon Emperorâs. However, in the entire Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm, not even level nine Demon Emperor expertâs,, other than the Dragon Emperor and the Great Ape Emperor, would dare say that they can rival me.â
âReally?â Qin Yu asked.
âOf course.â Said the Peng Demon Emperor naturally.
âWhat about Emperor Ni? The Cyan Emperor?â Said Qin Yu while smiling. The Peng Demon Emperorâs expression slightly changed. Qin Yu continued. âAnd the legendary Three Great Sovereigns of the Dark Star Realm?â
The Peng Demon Emperorâs two eyes burst forth like lightning as he stared at Qin Yu. âNever had I expected that you actually know quite a bit. Emperor Ni is a Phoenix birthed by the world. Furthermore, now that sheâs reached level nine Demon Emperor, even at a moment of crisis, she can still turn into flames. Killing her is truly somewhat hard. However... I am able to seriously injure her. As for the Cyan Emperor, I am truly unable to see through him. The Three Great Sovereigns of the Dark Star Realm, I do not take them into consideration under normal circumstances.â
âDo not take them into consideration?â Qin Yuâs brows creased.
The Peng Demon Emperor said indifferently. âThe people of the Dark Star Realm rarely ever get involved with the matters of the outside world. So why would I be afraid? Even if we were to fight... the Three Great Sovereigns of the Dark Star Realm would only be comparable to us Three Great Demon Emperors.â
Qin Yu was startled. It would appear that the Three Great Sovereigns of the Dark Star Realm were truly extraordinary people.
âQin Yu, you said all that just to prove a point? However, is Emperor Ni inside your Ten Thousand Beasts Atlas? What about the Cyan Emperor or the Three Great Sovereigns of the Dark Star Realm? Haha... you donât have any of them. Thus, youâll definitely die today. Of course, you can go ahead and flee into that Qingyu Immortal Mansion or whatever. That idiot Emperor Yu was unable to break through a mere Immortal Mansion but I do not believe that even I will be unable to break through it.â The Peng Demon Emperor was filled with confidence.
Qin Yu had a very brilliant smile on his face.
Qingyu Immortal Mansion?
Even now, the people of the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm still think that the place where he had been hiding, was inside the Qingyu Immortal Mansion. How could these people possibly know, that where he was hiding was actually an unprecedented âSpatial Divine Artifact,â Jiang Lanâs Realm?! Even when Emperor Yu and the Mystic Emperor joined hands and used the Matchless Great Sword to attack, they were still unable to damage the Jiang Lanâs Realm in the slightest. Even if the Peng Demon Emperor were to be ten times as powerful as them, he would still likely be unable to even shake the Jiang Lanâs Realm.
âSigh, Peng Demon Emperor. I am very confused, how did you manage to discover that Iâm here? Seeing that youâve gathered a large group of troops, it seems like you were already prepared.â Qin Yu asked.
Even if they were to go into the Jiang Lanâs Realm and train, at the very least he wanted to figure out how the Peng Demon Emperor had discovered them.
âYouâre very confused?â
The Peng Demon Emperor started laughing. Ao Ku, Bai Feng and Liu Tu. At the same time, the Peng Demon Emperorâs gaze was directed toward Bai Xin. He lightly smiled and said. âOh Qin Yu, look over there. That young lady Bai Xin is currently emotionally close and unwilling to separate from Hei Yu.â
Qin Yu turned around to look.
At this moment, Bai Xin was talking to Hei Yu. Hei Yu looked to Qin Yu; with a smile, he said. âBig brother, Iâve already broken the restriction placed upon Big sis Bai Xin.â
âBai Xin, you still have ten breathâs time. Make sure to hurry up and carefully chat with your good younger brother. If youâre late, then you wonât have any opportunity to chat with him again in your lifetime.â Said the Peng Demon Emperor while smiling. However, his voice was like a cold wind permeating through Qin Yu and Hei Yuâs bodies, making them tremble.
Hei Yu immediately grew extremely angry. He smiled and looked at the Peng Demon Emperor. âPeng Demon Emperor, ten breathâs time? You must be dreaming. Do you think that you will have the opportunity to kill Big sis Bai Xin?â
The Peng Demon Emperor smiled yet did not respond.
âLittle Yu.â Bai Xin pulled Hei Yuâs face toward to herself. She smiled happidly. âLet big sister look at you.â
âBig sis Bai Xin.â Hei Yu felt that something appeared to be amiss. He started to panic a bit in his heart.
Qin Yu also felt some panic in his heart. It was as if there were something he hadnât noticed.
Demon Elemental Energy ran through her entire body. Bai Xinâs skin was back to the delicateness that it had before. Her appearance also returned to the beauty that she had before. Her two beautiful eyes were looking at Hei Yu. She always had a smile on her face. It was as if she was very happy, extremely happy.
âBig sis Bai Xin, whatâs wrong? Whatâs wrong?â Hei Yu said worriedly.
Hei Yu and Qin Yu were simply unable to anticipate that Bai Xin would become the Peng Demon Emperorâs Spiritual Beast. After all, in order for one to become a Spiritual Beast, one must be completely willing to become one. They did not believe that Bai Xin would be willing to become the Peng Demon Emperorâs Spiritual Beast.
âDonât ask.â Bai Xin smiled as she shook her head. She only continued to look at Hei Yu as if she was planning to forever immortalize Hei Yuâs appearance in the bottom of her heart and in the depths of her soul, never forgetting.
âTen breathâs time. At the very least, in these ten breathâs of time, Little Yu is mine.â Bai Xinâs heart was extremely relaxed.
âTimeâs up.â The Peng Demon Emperorâs voice sounded.
Qin Yu and Hei Yu both sensed that something was wrong. At this moment, Bai Xin who was in Hei Yuâs bosom suddenly trembled faintly. Her eyes started to become disorganized. Itâs just that she had a peaceful and happy smile on her face. It was as if she had fallen asleep.
Even till her death, Bai Xin had never told Hei Yu that she loved him.
âBig sis Bai Xin, Big sis Bai Xin...â In a panic, Hei Yu shouted repeatedly. However, although Bai Xin appeared to be asleep, she would never wake back up. Hei Yuâs Demon Awareness had already discovered that Bai Xin had died. Itâs just that he was unwilling to accept it.
âBig sis Bai Xin!!!â
Hei Yuâs voice that was filled with grief, indignation, pain and suffering sounded. Qin Yu who stood to the side also felt a burst of pain in his heart. Qin Yu immediately turned around to look at the Peng Demon Emperor outside the the great formation array. The Peng Demon Emperor currently had a complacent smile on his face. âHow did Bai Xin become your Spiritual Beast?â
Having reached this point, if Qin Yu was to still be unable to guess the reason, then he would truly be a fool. Under those circumstances, Qin Yu cannot think of any other reason that could cause Bai Xinâs death.
âYouâve finally managed to guess it.â The Peng Demon Emperor lightly smiled and said. âI believe that you also know why my people could arrive so promptly.â
Qin Yu had a steady face.
As Bai Xin was the Peng Demon Emperorâs Spiritual Beast, the Peng Demon Emperor likely already found out during the first time Hei Yu send a voice transmission to Bai Xin. At that moment, the Peng Demon Emperor directly notified his troops and came over via teleportation. Everything was clear now.
Yet Qin Yu was still confused... why would Bai Xin become the Peng Demon Emperorâs Spiritual Beast?
âPeng Demon Emperor, Iâll kill you!!!â Hei Yu glared angrily at the Peng Demon Emperor. His words appeared to come out through his teeth; they were filled with murderous intent.
âIâm the one who is going to kill you, you little bastard!â The Peng Demon Emperor looked to Hei Yu coldly. âHowever, donât worry; there will definitely not be anything unexpected happening this time around. Each and every one of you will fall under my hand. Especially you, little bastard Hei Yu.â
âYour Majesty, everyone is here.â Ao Ku suddenly said respectfully. A group of Demon Emperors had flown over to the Peng Demon Emperor from afar.
The Peng Demon Emperor smiled. âImmediately start the Sealing Element Refining Flame Array and encircle the entire range of the Profound Golden Illusion Array. No matter how Hei Yu and them try to flee, they would definitely be within the Profound Golden Illusion Array.â
Sealing Element Refining Flame Array?
Hearing this name, Qin Yu was shocked.
âQin Yu, the Sealing Element Refining Flame Array is arranged together with sixteen Demon Emperors. Of these sixteen Demon Emperors, four of them are level seven Demon Emperors. In order to break through this Sealing Element Refining Flame Array, one would require the strength close to that of a level nine Demon Emperor. Thatâs right... that Ao Wuxu in your Ten Thousand Beasts Atlas might be able to break through it.â Said the Peng Demon Emperor with a light laugh. âYou most certainly should send him out.â
Qin Yu gradually calmed down.
âXiao Hei, donât grieve anymore. Our current strength is insufficient; we are still not a match against the Peng Demon Emperor. He possesses the Inherited Treasure, itâs nearly impossible for us to kill him in the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm.â Qin Yu sent a voice transmission and consoled Hei Yu. âWe possess the Jiang Lanâs Realm and do not have to care about that Sealing Element Refining Flame Array. Weâll directly enter the Jiang Lanâs Realm and continue our training, and once we have reached the Divine Realm, weâll find this Peng Demon Emperor and settle the debt.â
Hei Yu was hugging Bai Xinâs corpse.
âBig brother, take Big sis Bai Xinâs corpse into the Jiang Lanâs Realm. Iâll properly bury her after I return to the Jiang Lanâs Realm.â Hei Yuâs hoarse and gloomy voice sounded. Qin Yu sensed that something was wrong. From Hei Yuâs hoarse voice, he was able to sense Xiao Heiâs anger and grief. With an intention of his heart, Qin Yu directly absorbed Bai Xinâs corpse into the Jiang Lanâs Realm.
Hei Yu raised his head and looked coldly at Peng Demon Emperor and them. At the same time, he sent a voice transmission to Qin Yu. âBig brother, I temporarily do not wish to return to the Jiang Lanâs Realm. Today, I must definitely kill one of them.â
âDonât be stupid.â Qin Yu replied via voice transmission.
Hei Yu merely shook his head but did not respond.
Qin Yu felt helpless in his heart. Xiao Hei have grow up together with him; he was very clear about Xiao Heiâs temperament. If he had set his mind on something, he would definitely do it... that temperament was very similar to Qin Yuâs.
âHei Yu, donât forget that you still have Bai Ling and Hei Tong. I could take a step back and temporarily not take you back into the Jiang Lanâs Realm; however, during moments of crisis, no matter whether or not youâve managed to kill any of them, you must still return to the Jiang Lanâs Realm.â Qin Yu stared at Hei Yu.
In order to take someone into the Jiang Lanâs Realm, the person being taken must not resist. Otherwise, Qin Yu wouldâve already absorbed Hei Yu into the Jiang Lanâs Realm. After all, that was the safest method.
âOkay.â Hei Yu agreed.
âYour Majesty, we have finished arranging the Sealing Element Refining Flame Array.â A Demon Emperor said respectfully.
The Peng Demon Emperor nodded in satisfaction. âBai Feng, Liu Tu, Ao Ku. You three are to enter the Sealing Element Refining Flame Array with me. These two brats have yet to enter the Qingyu Immortal Mansion, it would appear that they want to fight against us. We shall satisfy their desire.â
The net of light of the Sealing Element Refining Flame Array covered a third of the Yellow Lion Mountain. Amongst this third was the summit of the Yellow Lion Mountain.
The net of light of the Sealing Element Refining Flame Array disappeared temporarily. Led by the Peng Demon Emperor, the three level eight Demon Emperors... Bai Feng, Liu Tu and Ao Ku calmly entered the Sealing Element Refining Flame Array. Soon after, the net of light once again resumed its activity. The Peng Demon Emperor stood with his hands crossed. âAo Ku, you go and remove the Profound Golden Illusion Array. Ao Ku, Bai Feng, Liu Tu, you three are in charge of Hei Yu. As for me... Iâll play with that Qin Yu.â
With the restriction of the oath, the Peng Demon Emperor didnât dare to personally kill Hei Yu. However, as he had his three strongest subordinates attack him at the same time, it would be strange if Hei Yu was able to survive against them.
