AST 1547 - Qin Ying’s Death

Qing Shui and Qin Qing didn’t tell anyone else. Qing Shui was confident that they would be able to save Qin Ying by themselves. He was sure that the ones who were responsible for this were both the Leng and Gu clans. Other than those two clans, they had no other enemies.

Staring at the Moonwolf Island, Qing Shui felt that they had the advantage. Since they were here first, the arrival of others would be easily noticed by them. They were in the shadows and hence, the initiative was in their hands.

The surface of the island was covered with vegetation, mountains, rocks, and forests. It was simply too difficult to search for people in here. When the two of them walked through the island, they weren’t in a hurry to find Qin Ying neither. Their enemies would appear sooner or later.

However, time flowed swiftly and soon, half a day had passed. The sky turned dark. Qing Shui knew that their opponents were purposely testing their patience. They called out a few times, yet they received no response at all.

“What should we do?” Qin Qing frowned. She was clearly feeling extremely anxious. After all, her younger sister was abducted by their enemies.

With a sudden flare of brilliance, Qing Shui summoned several Jade Emperor Bees and used them to scout. He had almost forgotten about these little creatures.

Swish...

All of a sudden, an arrow shot through the air with blinding speed. Qing Shui sped after it and a few moments later, he saw the arrow pinning a piece of paper onto a tree. Unrolling the piece of paper, there were only six words on it.

Walk 30 miles to the South!

After reading, Qing Shui’s spiritual sense gushed out, quickly surveying the area. Very swiftly, he discovered the location hinted by the words on the paper. It was in a mountain valley not too far away from where they were.

It was very hard to ambush cultivators, let alone cultivators of Qing Shui’s level. His spiritual sense was simply too terrifying.

“Come on out, we are here.” After they arrived at the entrance of the valley, Qing Shui stopped and didn’t advance any further.

After about 10 minutes worth of time, footsteps rang out as over 10 experts walked out of the valley. The man in the lead was an imposing old man exuding sharpness.

Qing Shui stared at the old man in the lead. This man had a headful of white hair but he didn’t seem senile at all. He was wearing a hemp garment and emanated a sense of transcendence.

From his robes, one could tell that he was from the Leng Clan. However, they didn’t know if any from the Gu Clan was involved in this plot.

“Where’s my sister?” Qin Qing stared at the old man as she coldly asked.

“I only want to know why you are killing the members of my Leng Clan. How many have you killed already?” The old man’s gaze was like icicle as he stared at Qin Qing and Qing Shui.

“I only kill those who deserve to die. Could it be that you don’t know what sort of characters your Leng Clan have?” Qin Qing didn’t shrink away from the question. She stared straight at the old man and spoke without any regards to manners.

Leng Ye was a genius of the Leng Clan. All supreme descendants of aristocrat clans would have a little problem with their personalities. But in powerful clans, this wouldn’t count for anything.

However, humans also required luck. If Leng Ye hadn’t encountered Qing Shui and Qin Qing, it was unknown how his life would have unfolded. But life simply had too many coincidences; Leng Ye had encountered the two of them and an accident occurred.

“Nobody can kill the people of my Leng Clan.” The old man coldly shot back.

“I’m already here. Release my sister. Do what you want to me, you should know who is responsible. Don’t you feel your methods are too despicable?” Qin Qing knitted her brows as she spoke.

“Since you dare to kill the people of my Leng Clan, why don’t I kill your family members?” The cold laugh of the old man made everyone felt a sense of chill.

“Don’t you think your methods are too shameless? No matter what, the Leng Clan is a great clan. If the others learned that you guys had used such a method, wouldn’t that only bring you ridicule?” Qin Qing angrily spoke. She was already about to rush over but was held back by Qing Shui.

“Despicable and shameless? Methods do not matter. Results are everything. If you want your sister, you have to promise me one thing. If not, just wait and collect her corpse from me!” The old man laughed disdainfully.

“I need to meet with my younger sister first or I will have no ways to believe your words.” Qin Qing, still rational, replied.
