The Giant Alligator King accused the Golden Eagle King of cooperating with the Nightmare Clan and the Golden Eagle King accused the Giant Alligator King of cooperating with the Nightmare Clanâ¦no one knew what the truth was, but without a doubt, the Nightmare Clan was involved.
Dealing with them wasnât wrongâ¦but did they really have to fight? The Nightmare Clan wasnât easy to provoke. If they started a battle, the first one to enter the fray would be a sacrifice.
For a time, the remaining beast kings were lost in thought. Their eyes occasionally looked left and right with hesitation.
No one wanted to be the first to act. But if they gave up like this, it would be going too easy on the Nightmare Clan. The one who died was the Ant King, and if they didnât teach the Nightmare Clan a lesson, the ones that perished in the future might be them!
Qi Zhenâs lips curved up in a mocking smile. He suddenly said, âAttack; donât make those fools feel awkward any longer.â
The atmosphere fell silent. With a light chuckle, he glanced around, âWhat, did you not hear my words? I wonât repeat myself.â
Insanity!
This was the definition of insanity!
Didnât young master Qi Zhen know that once they attacked, they would thoroughly ignite a war with the nightmare beast race?
This would lead to dead people. And it wouldnât be a small number either.
Across from them, the hesitating nightmare beast kings all became thoroughly enraged.
What arrogance! This fool had no idea of death or danger!
But before they could express any more words to indicate their anger, the Nightmare Clansmen roared out loud.
âKill them!â
Bang â
Bang â
The demons from the Ancient Kingâs Lineage took the lead.
The situation immediately turned chaotic. The nightmare beast kings were caught off guard, but soon gathered themselves and crazily rushed out.
It was the Nightmare Clan who attacked first, so even if they killed them, it wouldnât be breaking the rules. If so, what was there to hesitate about? They would kill until they satiated themselves. They had already been wanting to kill these Nightmare Clansmen!
Rumble rumble â
Terrifying fluctuations of strength swept out, causing the space within the Nightmare Beast Territory to distort.
Countless cracks appeared in space as the void started to disintegrate. A reckless swallowing strength gushed out, tearing and cutting apart everythingâ¦at this moment, the world seemed like a seething cauldron of water!
Cloud Mistâs eyes brightened. The Ancient Kingâs Lineage had suddenly decided to fight with the nightmare beast kings. To them, this was the best opportunity.
Although stabbing their fellow clansmen in the back was disgracefulâ¦for the sake of expediency, they couldnât care about such things!
Then Qin Yu opened his mouth and interrupted her train of thought. âGo. Help them deal with the nightmare beasts.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
ââ¦â Cloud Mist nearly choked on herself. She had seen Qi Zhen and Qin Yu exchange looks, and she was sure that he was the target.
If they didnât hurry and attack now, but even had to help them fight the nightmare beast kings insteadâ¦just what was Qin Yu thinking?
Qin Yu had a calm expression. âDonât ask, just follow my orders.â His tone was tranquil, but within this tranquility there was an undeniable and firm will.
Cloud Mountain, Cloud River, and Cloud Sky might have obtained orders from Cloud Boundless before entering the Nightmare Beast Territory, but they were definitely more inclined to listen to Cloud Mist. Now, they looked at her.
Old Fox and Black Astral had some scruples. Although they couldnât figure out the reason for Qin Yuâs actions, all they had to do was follow his command.
âFight!â
With a thought, the two old demons waded into the battle.
Cloud Mist drew in a deep breath, âQin Yu, I hope you wonât regret this!â She turned and shouted, âFollow me!â
Cloud Mountain, Cloud River, and Cloud Sky all quickly followed behind her.
âThis little girl, she seems to be interested in you. Her eyesight isnât bad.â Qi Zhen smiled and raised his hands to pat his chest, a rather old manner of demon etiquette. âAllow me to formally introduce myself. My current name is Qi Zhen, a direct descendant of the Ancient Kingâs Lineageâ¦of course, you donât need to care about any of thisâ¦just take it as an apology for my previous actions.â
A few words revealed far too much information. Just thinking it over, one could even imagine some horrifying possibilities.
But Qi Zhen had spoken it all so clearly and without any means of concealing it. Was he really that careless, or was he so confident that he wasnât afraid of exposing anything? Come to think of it, the latter was more likely!
Qin Yuâs eyes flashed and he said, âI am not that mean-spirited. Since I said I will let things go for now, I wonât obsess over this matter.â He paused and then continued, âWhat I want to know is what sort of cooperation you were speaking about.â
âGreat! I admire straight talk from a straightforward person.â Qi Zhen gave a thumb up. âThen I will get to the point. Before discussing cooperation, I need to confirm who you are firstâ¦perhaps you might think this is strange, but I have no other way to explain now.â
Qin Yu said, âWhat do you need me to do?â
Qi Zhen replied, âSimple. Give me your hand.â
Qin Yu reached out a hand and Qi Zhen gripped it. In the next moment, Qin Yu could clearly feel his connection with the Nightmare Ancestral Land being touched.
Thump â
Thump â
Thump â
Within his chest, the heart of the abyss began to accelerate and demonic energy erupted.
Qi Zhen let go and took a step back. When he looked at Qin Yu, there was excitement and confusion, âItâs trueâ¦itâs actually trueâ¦how strange, how wonderfully strange!â
Qin Yu calmed his racing heart and said, âYou can tell me now, right?â
Qi Zhen nodded, âOf course. I have now determined that you are a different person from me, yet you also have the same characteristics. Haha, I never thought that after waiting for so many years, such a day would arriveâ¦boy, your luck is quite good to run into me. If I was some other fellow, you would have already died.â
His eyes fell on Qin Yu and he smirked, âWhat, you donât believe me? But if I really wanted to kill you, you would have certainly died. Even if you have the Abyssal Titan bloodlineâ¦mm, you also seem to have a considerably strong summoning crystal.â
Qin Yuâs heart shook. This was the first time someone had seen through his cards.
How was this possible?
The Abyssal Titan bloodline was one thing. After all, it was in his body. But, how had he discovered the Demon Dragon Clan Elderâs summoning crystal?
âAre you frightened? Haha, in fact, there is another point I havenât said yetâ¦for instance, that you are a person from the living world and yet you can unexpectedly live in the abyssâ¦and not be discovered by anyoneâ¦tsk tsk, this is a truly wonderful concealment method to even hide from my senses. It seems that your current condition was intentionally arranged by someoneâ¦â Qi Zhen sighed with emotion, âAlthough I have no idea who it is, their courage must be greatâ¦.to actuallyâ¦move againstâ¦
âI canât speak further, otherwise there will be great trouble. Letâs leave this place and have a good chat somewhere else.â Qi Zhen flicked his sleeves. Qin Yu didnât even feel any fluctuations of strength before his surroundings rippled and the both of them appeared on the summit of a mountain.
He could hear strong winds howling in his ears. Down below, layers of fog stacked up on top of each other, with roars resonating from them.
Only now did Qin Yu believe that Qi Zhen had the ability to easily kill him. This personâ¦was just far too terrifying. Just who was he?
With the sound of whistling winds in his ears, Qi Zhen seemed a little annoyed as he pulled away some hair that blocked his eyes. Then, he stretched out a hand and tapped the void.
With a light âpaâ sound, it was like a switch had been pressed. The strong winds at the summit immediately vanished.
He looked around. The branches of the sturdy trees in the distance still swung in the wind and the fog still tumbled around, but all wind had been banned from the summit.
âHuâ¦we can finally talk quietly. This place didnât used to have such heavy winds!â Qi Zhen shook his head and glanced at Qin Yu, âScared? Now you believe what I said! Haha, in truth, my strength isnât as great as yours right now. These are just some minor tricks. Youâll learn about them in the future.â
Qin Yu took a deep breath and bowed, âMay I ask who senior is?â
Qi Zhen waved a hand, âThereâs no need to bow. Although I have lived longer than you, strictly speaking we are the same kind of person, so itâs better to speak as peers.â
He paced back and forth two steps before slapping his forehead, âAs for the question you asked, itâs not easy for me to answer right now. Iâm not trying to shift responsibility or anything, itâs justâ¦I have many identities. You can simply understand me as someone who has lived many timesâ¦of course, I know what you want to know the most. For instance, amongst the identities I have lived as, some are ordinary and some are extraordinary. Such as, the Nightmare King you know of.â
Qin Yuâs heart quaked. While he had some suspicions when his connection to the Nightmare Ancestral Land was touched, he still found it unbelievable when it was confirmed by Qi Zhen.
Perhaps he had come into contact with one of the greatest secrets of the Nightmare Clanâ¦and this was a secret not even Cloud Boundless knew about!
Qin Yu took a deep breath and said, âSenior, you said you want to cooperate with meâ¦â
âDonât call me senior anymore. I donât know your background, so maybe your true body is even older than me.â Qi Zhen sat on the ground, âJust call me Qi Zhen. This name is quite good, and itâs much more pleasant to the ears.â
He waved his hand, hinting for Qin Yu to sit down. âSince I asked to cooperate, letâs get to business firstâ¦mm, itâs actually very simple. To sum it up â I will help you enter the Nightmare Ancestral Land and you will help me destroy it.â
These were indeed a few words, but werenât these words too frightening?
Qin Yu had just sat down, but now he froze in place. Someone who kept reincarnating for a countless number of years, even becoming the Nightmare King more than onceâ¦actually wanted him to destroy the Nightmare Ancestral Landâ¦
This was madness!
Qi Zhen coldly sneered, âIâm not crazy. I canât tell you the specifics, otherwise you would have died before I finished.â
Qin Yuâs heart shrank and he felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave. Although he had no idea what Qi Zhen was referring to, he really did feel a terrifying aura right now.
If Qi Zhen were to truly speak of the matter he didnât want to mention, even just a single sentence would cause Qin Yu to die immediately!
There was no logic behind this, but Qin Yu could truly sense the shadow of deathâ¦this was actually real!
Just what was it? It couldnât even be spoken, and speaking it would cause someone to die.
