Chapter: 1274 (1/2)

AST 1274 – Put down the Butcher’s Knife, Formation Eye Stone, Divine Beast’s Blood

The voice which came through out of nowhere made Qing Shui’s flesh creep. It felt as if he was being spied on, it felt really uncomfortable just like when someone didn’t wear any clothes in public.

Qing Shui’s body felt as if it suddenly went into an extremely cold place. The hair all over his body immediately stood on end. He felt as if his body was shivering all over even though it wasn’t actually cold. Following on, an old man appeared above the Fu Clan in the sky.

The old man had a body that resembled a dried up bone and looked just like a malicious devil. While he looked at the old man, Qing Shui felt as if the old man might die at anytime. However, there was a strange looking stone-like object in his body which appeared like it was supporting him.

Stone of Life!

With just one glance, Qing Shui was able to recognize the stone as he himself had worn one before. It was during that time when he got heavily injured by the people from the Residence of the Sky Tyrant Lord and was left with only one or two days to live. Back then, Di Chen let him wore a pendant made of a Stone of Life. It had managed to extend his lifespan by three years.

It was also because of the Stone of Life which Di Chen gave that he was able to hang on and comprehend the Force of Rebirth, and endured until the moment when his body felt as if it got reborned. Now, he noticed that the old man was also wearing the Stone of Life. Furthermore, it seemed like its energy was already quite depleted. It shouldn’t be a problem for the Stone of Life to support the old man for up to a year and a half. However, these circumstances doesn’t seemed to make any influence to the tremendous death aura that emitted from the old man’s body.

“Old Ancestor!”

……

Even though Qing Shui predicted that the old man had ties with the Fu Clan, he never expected for him to be their Old Ancestor.

At the moment when the old man showed up, he didn’t actually made any moves. Ever since he showed up, he just looked at Qing Shui and didn’t even turn to look at the people from the Fu Clan.

Qing Shui stayed on alert. At the same time, he also sensed the old man’s strength and immediately weakened it along with the Golden Scaled Dragon Elephant. No matter who they were, he would only put a discussion after they became weakened. By doing this, if they were to really start a fight later, Qing Shui wouldn’t get too flustered by his opponents.

However, Qing Shui was stunned because after the old man got weakened, he still had a strength worth more than 5,000 sun, and it was even close to 6,000 sun. This meant that before this, the old man had a strength worth nearly 9,000 sun. No wonder Qing Shui could feel danger.

The Palace Lord of the Heaven Secrets Academy had mentioned before that the most powerful person from the Western Oxhe Continent had a strength of around 8,000 sun. Could it be that the ones that the old man had talked about was these people who were at the brink of death?

The old man who looked like a malicious devil also stared at Qing Shui with a strange look. Even after he got weakened, he didn’t made his moves. He spoke slowly: “Your aura is bright like a river of stars. Why must you resort to extermination? Putting one Fu Clan aside, even if ten Fu Clans tried to stop you, they will fail to do so. Under this kind of circumstances, if you can choose to let go of the butcher knife in your hand, you will gain insights into the other aspects of life..”

Qing Shui looked at the old man. Prior to this, he actually wasn’t left with any way to step down. Additionally, killing them would also be quite a decent option although it was also fine even if he didn’t do it. It was very difficult for the Fu Clan to change their fate.

“Just be straight with your words. How do you feel about fighting me after you finished speaking?” Qing Shui knew that the old man wouldn’t fight him. He was able to sense this really strongly.

“I’m not going to let you beat me. In the future, you will definitely have boundless achievements. The Fu Clan will also not fail to appreciate your kindness. How about this? I’ll give you a few stuffs in exchange for the safety of these people from the Fu Clan. Let them leave this place and become an ordinary people with family. Does this sound fine to you?” The old man let out a sigh and looked at Qing Shui.

“Oh, you want to trade something in exchange for their life?” Qing Shui asked even though he already knew the answer.

“Yes!”

“Sure, but first, I want to see what it is. I want to see if it’s worthy enough to convince me to let them go.” Qing Shui said indifferently.

“This is easy. Take it.” The old man immediately threw an Interspatial Silk Sachet at Qing Shui.

Qing Shui immediately peeked into it with his Spiritual Sense. The space within the Interspatial Silk Sachet was fairly small and was only one cubic meter in size. There were only a few stuff within it and the most obvious one was a piece of Yang Stone. Even though Qing Shui still had a few of it, but when it came to Yang Stone, he would never complain of himself having too many of them. After all, he was a blacksmith.

There was also a Yang Stone Sword. Unfortunately, the level of forging for this sword was too rough. Despite this, there would still be a lot of people who would be fighting over it if he took it out. Hence, it was still considered really valuable. The last two things were two small porcelain bottles.

Qing Shui immediately scanned it. To his surprise, one of the bottles had Divine Beast’s Blood in it. The other bottle was slightly bigger and to his surprise yet again, there were two Ice Silkworm’s eggs inside. At the moment when Qing Shui was about to summon back his Spiritual Sense, he spotted an ordinary stone at the side. He was stunned upon examining the stone.

Formation Eye Stone!

When someone with said the stone set up formations, he or she could double the strength of the formation. As the Formation Eye Stone ascended in grade, the strength of the formation would also follow along and become stronger.

Qing Shui’s eyes shone for a moment. All of these could be said to be extremely precious. Merely the value of the Formation Eye Stone was more than enough. It was just that there were too few people who was actually aware of the uses of these things.

“Aren’t you scared that I will kill all of you after I take away these stuff?” Qing Shui questioned the old man indifferently.

“Well if that were to happen, I can only blame myself for being blind.” The old man didn’t express any emotions on his face. Since the beginning, he was already like this.

“I can let them go. I hope that you will tell them what to do. You guys can decide whether to remain in the Heaven Secrets Academy or leave.” Qing Shui wasn’t worried that they would make any moves. Besides, he knew that at the end of the day, only very few of them would manage to remain alive.
