Chapter 1549 – Great Shaman Mengshan

Just when everyone was panicking and becoming more desperate the more they thought about it, two people came one after another from outside the camp.

The ascetic’s aura could be recognized immediately, and everyone in the camp subconsciously showed awe and bowed slightly.

Then, they suddenly realized that the General still had not yet appeared!

Although the West Desolate and the West Barbarians had been mortal enemies for generations, respect for the strong trumped their hatred towards each other.

It was extremely rude for the General to act like this, and it was very likely to anger the other party!

Zhou Dafu’s figure appeared amongst the crowd. His face was slightly pale and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

Quickly walking to the front, he bowed and saluted to Lord Ascetic, “Lord Ascetic, the General invites you to the tent to speak with him.”

As he spoke, he tried his best to remain calm, but his voice was still trembling.

Lord Ascetic nodded calmly and said, “Okay.” He then turned around and told the Young Tribe Leader of the Golden Crow Tribe, “Young Tribe Leader, please wait for me here for just a moment.”

The Young Tribe Leader hurriedly agreed.

Zhou Dafu’s heart felt slightly relieved, and then suddenly a bit proud of how powerful General Jinwu was. It was an ascetic! But this powerful barbarian ascetic was so restrained and forbearing when facing General Jinwu.

With a light cough, Zhou Dafu got up, stretched out his hand, and feigned, “Lord Ascetic, please come with me.” In his speech and demeanor, he became a little more relaxed than before.

Inside the camp, the group of West Desolate cultivators and the powerful smugglers looked at the scene in front of them with widened eyes.

Immediately afterwards, their hearts calmed down a bit.

The ascetic followed behind Zhou Dafu. At this moment, he frowned slightly, as if he sensed something.

He turned and looked at the two big trees at the edge of the camp.

Zhou Dafu observed Lord Ascetic and his eyes flashed. Smiling, he said, “That place is where the general’s wife resides, and the two ancient trees are his wife’s servants.”

As the only woman by General Jinwu’s side, although she had no official status, after seeing what Rourou was capable of, he did not mind trying to suck up to her.

Lord Ascetic nodded his head and inhaled lightly. His face remained calm, but the anticipation in his heart grew.

They reached the tent.

Zhou Dafu bowed politely, “Lord Ascetic, the general is waiting for you in the tent.”

The ascetic returned the salute by raising one of his palms up, then he stepped forward and entered the tent. At first glance, he saw the young man sitting in the main seat.

“Ascetic Prajna greets General Jinwu.”

Taking a step forward, he raised one palm and bowed politely.

Looking at the barbarian ascetic standing in front of him in the tent, Qin Yu smiled and his eyes were full of joy.

His previous hesitation and anxiety disappeared after seeing this person.

After thinking for a while, Qin Yu sat still. After receiving the greeting from Lord Ascetic, he got up and cupped his hands, “Master Prajna, we meet again.”

With this sentence, the rules of time and space in the immediate area around the big tent became distorted at the same moment, completely isolating them from the outside to prevent them being spied on.

Prajna’s warm eyes suddenly became brighter. He raised his head to look at Qin Yu, and his eyes gradually became clear.

“So it was the General who deliberately led us to meet the previous two times.” At this moment, he was very sure that this person in front of him had an extremely close relationship with the new Barbarian King.

He was overjoyed and immediately saluted again, “Prajna urges the General to tell me the truth, where did you see our clan’s…”

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Qin Yu, “Master Prajna, there are some things that I really cannot tell you.”

Prajna’s expression was slightly stern and he bowed solemnly, “You’re right, General. I was too impulsive, please forgive me.”

Qin Yu smiled, “Master Prajna, your words are too serious, please take a seat.”

Prajna sat down and looked at Qin Yu who was sitting above him, and his heart moved slightly as he said, “Were you trying to lead me here because of the matter regarding the Golden Crow Tribe?”

Qin Yu shook his head, “At first, I did not think that things would come to this point, but the Elder of the Golden Crow Tribe did not appreciate my kind intentions which was why it ended up like this.”

After a pause, he continued, “Besides, I did not know that Master Prajna would come here either. Previously I was hesitating about whether I should interact with the representative sent by the Golden Crow Tribe.”

Prajna was a smart person and his face changed slightly when he heard what Qin Yu said. “General, if you need something, you can just be straightforward about it.”

Qin Yu raised his hand and showed the ring between his fingers, “This ring was personally delivered to me when I was about to leave the West Border Army camp, by a certain Half-King who descended upon me using his projection.”

The existence of a Half-King was connected to the heavens and earth. Their name could not be called directly, otherwise they would be able to feel it in their heart.

Prajna’s face changed again. A Half-King’s status among the West Desolate cultivators was equivalent to a great barbarian shaman’s status among the barbarians. Their realm of strength and power were at the top of the world.

His eyes fell on the ring and he was still silent, waiting for Qin Yu to continue what he was saying.

“This ring is a spatial device – there are many materials stored inside which can be built into a special formation known as the Boundary Breaking Seal.”

Immediately, Qin Yu told this ascetic what he knew about the Boundary Breaking Seal from Rourou.

This terrifying space formation could trigger a tear in space to form a space tide that could sweep and destroy everything!

Prajna’s face was full of shock and anger. Evidently, it was the first time he was hearing about the West Desolate’s terrifying plan that they had been conjuring for all these years.

If their plan was successful, the Barbarian Clan would be severely impacted. It was even possible that they would go extinct!

Prajna took in a deep breath, then bowed and saluted once again, “Thank you for telling this to the Barbarian Clan General, otherwise our clan would be met with a huge catastrophe.”

Qin Yu cupped his hands, “It’s what I should do; you don’t have to thank me. However, the key thing now is that I am tasked with setting up the Boundary Breaking Seal, and only by completing this task can I gain further trust from the West Desolate.”

After a pause, in order to improve the persuasiveness of what he was saying, he added, “This is also the stance held by the person you are thinking of.”

Prajna did not doubt Qin Yu’s words, even though he could not figure out why the Barbarian King would choose this West Desolate General instead of himself as his messenger.

Qin Yu suddenly said, “Does Master know the origins of the Later Ye Family, one of the pillars of the West Desolate’s imperial military?”

Prajna frowned and said slowly, “The Later Ye Family is a traitor of our Barbarian Clan, they are a shame in our ascetic lineage that must be thoroughly erased.”

This news was beyond Qin Yu’s expectations. He knew that the Later Ye Family was from the Barbarian Clan, but he did not know that they were originally ascetics as well.

It was no wonder that back then when Qin Yu deliberately released his aura, Prajna tried to kill Ye Wangu at all costs after sensing that aura.

The thoughts turned quickly in his head, but his expression remained unchanged, as if everything was within his control.

Taking a deep breath, his aura changed slightly. A trace of ancient, barbaric, and tyrannical aura was released from his body.

Prajna’s eyes widened slightly. After being silent for a while, he raised his palm and saluted, “So, it turns out that you are actually one of us.”

At this moment, Prajna completely understood!

It turned out that everything was part of the plan made by the great Barbarian King. He deliberately placed this strong barbarian in the West Desolate, and made him imitate the Ye Family who had defected back then, to gain the trust of the West Desolate King.

Step by step, General Jinwu rose to become the chess piece that infiltrated the deepest into the West Desolate.

Even though he did not know what the Barbarian King’s real intentions were, there was no doubt that he was playing a big game of chess.

General Jinwu…Later Ye Family…

In Prajna’s heart, there was suddenly a little excitement. He felt that there was hope that the stain on the ascetic lineage would be completely wiped away!

Qin Yu reminded him, “Master, please keep my identity a secret.”

After Prajna nodded solemnly, Qin Yu continued, “So now, I am facing a huge problem. If I continue to build the Boundary Breaking Seal, this will likely endanger the barbarians, but if I give the task up, it will destroy the original plan.”

Facing Qin Yu’s eyes, Prajna looked serious. “I understand what General is saying, please wait a moment.”

Then, Prajna closed his eyes.

Qin Yu raised his eyebrows slightly. At this moment, he felt a very strange fluctuation of spiritual energy from the other party. It was weak and mysterious, like it was some kind of special resonance method that could allow one to communicate with a specific target across long distances.

Thinking of Zhou Dafu’s previous mention of how the ascetics were united, Qin Yu understood. Prajna was backed by the true important figure of the Barbarian Clan, who could make the final decision regarding the Boundary Breaking Seal.

This was the best result for Qin Yu. With the participation of the important figures from the Barbarian Clan, he could better understand what his next steps should be.

After a long time, the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from Prajna’s body dissipated. He opened his eyes and his face was slightly pale.

Evidently, such a communication method was a huge burden on him.

Looking at Qin Yu, Prajna smiled, “General, you may continue to build the Boundary Breaking Seal, just let us know the location of it in advance.”

Qin Yu said, “That goes without saying. The construction of the Boundary Breaking Seal requires your cooperation, but…”

He looked like he was placed in a difficult position.

Prajna assured him, “Don’t worry, General. We guarantee that the West Desolate cultivators will not be alerted by this matter, and no threats will occur to you.”

Indeed, conversing with clever people was easy.

Qin Yu smiled, “If that’s the case, I am relieved.”

Prajna raised his hand and a pearl-sized ball of light was condensed at his fingertips.

“General, this is a communication method used by my ascetic lineage that employs the Spiritual Echoing Method. Just now, I used this technique to get in touch with my teacher.”

Speaking of this, Prajna’s eyes showed a little puzzlement, “Teacher ordered me to pass this communication method to you. When you need it, you can use this to contact my teacher.”

Qin Yu’s eyes flashed slightly, “May I ask who your teacher is?”

Prajna raised his palms in front of him and bowed respectfully, “My teacher is the only great barbarian shaman left in the Western Barbarian Land – the Great Shaman Mengshan.”

Great barbarian shaman!

As the Barbarian King, of course Qin Yu knew what kind of powerful existence the Great Shaman was.

His status and strength was comparable to that of West Desolate cultivators who were in the Half-King realm. Between the heavens and earth, they were the most powerful people in the world of cultivation.

Back then, the great barbarian shaman who went missing in the mine wanted to conquer the World Spirit Embryo located in the underground mines. For this, he destroyed his own cultivation and finally died, but before that, he used a curse ceremony to erase all traces of his existence.

Otherwise, if the West Desolate found out there was a great barbarian shaman that died in the mine, they would seek the hidden secrets at all costs. Then, the World Spirit Embryo would have been discovered and taken away by the West Desolate, and it would have been impossible for it to still be there when Qin Yu went down to the mine.

Great Shaman Mengshan!

This was the name of the second great barbarian shaman that Qin Yu came to know. He cupped his hands respectfully and said, “Thank you, Great Shaman Mengshan.”

After using his divine sense to check that there was nothing wrong with the ball of light, Qin Yu gripped the air in front of him, and the ball of light flew into his hands. The moment it touched his flesh, it instantly disappeared.

The next moment, in his mind, he gained a new strange method of using his divine sense.

Qin Yu could not help but smile. Whether it was Prajna or the Great Shaman Mengshan, both of them were trustworthy.

Previously he released his aura twice, but so far there had been no problems, and this was the best evidence that they were indeed worthy of his trust.

Since they were trustworthy, this new method of using his divine sense was equivalent to having another life-saving trump card.

No one would ever have enough life-saving trump cards.

“Master Prajna, regarding the Golden Crow Tribe method, you and I still have to think of a sound reason that can convince the outside world.”

“This is not difficult. Since the West Desolate regards you as their chess piece in the Western Barbarian Land, then let’s do what they wanted you to do.”

Qin Yu thought for a while and smiled, “Good idea!”

Prajna frowned, showing a bitter smile, “I suddenly thought of another trouble that needs to be resolved.”

He looked at Qin Yu, “The tribe totem of the Golden Crow Tribe has been killed by your wife, which caused the totem bloodline to be cut off. This matter involves the foundation of the Golden Crow Tribe. If it can’t be resolved, it will be hard to get their cooperation.”

Qin Yu gave a strange expression, but before he could speak, Rourou’s voice suddenly rang out in the tent, “Leave this matter to me.”

Buzz –

The space vibrated and a round bead appeared. It was crimson in color, as if it had been injected with endless magma. It was exactly the bead that she swallowed, but the golden crow that was inside it had disappeared without a trace.

“Give it to the Golden Crow Tribe. They will definitely be satisfied. Who knows, they might even thank me for eating that old Golden Crow!”

The General’s wife…hmph, this title sounded totally ridiculous!
