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.
