Chapter 481A – Your Heart Is Too Black

The black dot at the peak of the Sealed Pagoda had vanished and Yao Bin hadn’t emerged. The several people standing in the small square were well aware of what this represented.

The Chief Elder let out a long breath of relief. Then he coldly sneered inwardly. So what if you had some minor skills? In the end you just ruined your own life.

You want to leap into the skies with a single bound and become the master of the Myriad Poison Sect? Maybe you should calculate your own worth and determine whether or not you have the life to do so!

Of course, all of these thoughts had to be secretly hidden in his heart and he couldn’t allow the Sect Master or anyone else to find out about them, otherwise he would be marked down for the future.

The atmosphere was dignified. Everyone was similar to the Chief Elder. No matter what actual thoughts they had in their hearts, they all had an incomparably solemn expression, as if they were contemplating the meaning of life.

After all, for these people to have been able to obtain their current status in the Black Demon Sect, none of them were idiots.

Tie Qianqiu gently sighed, feeling some regret, some loss, and also some joy. “In all these tens of thousands of years, Yao Bin was the person most likely to obtain the approval of the Sealed Pagoda.”

The Chief Elder bowed. “But in the end he failed.” He hesitated for a moment and said, “Sect Master, Yao Bin has died, so how do we handle the matters of the Feng Family?”

Tie Qianqiu remained expressionless. “Inform the Feng Family that the one who killed Feng Changjing has died.” He turned and walked away, his steps much heavier than before. But, these heavy steps had nothing to do with Qin Yu’s death. Just like the Sect Master had said, Yao Bin had died, so what could be done about the hidden dangers within his body?

The Chief Elder waited a long time after the Sect Master left before looking back up. Then, as if by prior agreement, everyone glanced towards the Sealed Pagoda. He lightly humphed. If you dare to covet my sect’s most precious treasure, you deserve to die!

“I am still missing a courtyard. Hand over Yao Bin’s residence to me.”

“Well, I want the fourth monster hunting field.”

The one who spoke was Tian Zhen. As the Sect Master’s honorable master from his youth, while his cultivation wasn’t amongst the peak of the Black Demon Sect, he actually had a startlingly high status. Everyone had to give face to the Sect Master, and in any case, Tian Zhen had made arrangements before to take over the fourth monster hunting field previously. It was just that he had never imagined Yao Bin would be so strong and he suffered a loss as a result. Now that Yao Bin had died, it was reasonable for him to take it back.

“Recently, a great number of people have granted Yao Bin generous gifts. Since he has been executed by the sect, his belongings should be confiscated too.” The Chief Elder’s words caused everyone’s eyes to shine brightly. The Chief Elder really knew what to do. With a single statement that Yao Bin had been executed by the sect, he had thoroughly nailed him with the final crime to ruin his status. With this, everything would be much easier to accomplish.

Everyone chatted amongst themselves and eventually came to a mutual understanding. Then, they all left with breezy smiles.

Now that Yao Bin had died, everyone would have meat to eat and soup to drink. He had really…died well!

…

Within the small world of the Sealed Pagoda.

Due to Qin Yu’s ‘reckless and wanton’ actions, the small world had suffered damage. Because he was in such a great mood afterwards, he offered to help repair the small world’s ruptured areas on his own initiative.

Regarding this, the Sealed Pagoda had tacitly chosen to accept this help. This was because it very much wanted to know just what methods Qin Yu had used to directly move the world rules. In the incomparably long life it had lived up until now, it had never encountered such a thing.

Qin Yu inspected the small world within the Sealed Pagoda and found that the situation was much worse than he had anticipated. This was probably because it had been suppressing the Spirit of Poison for tens of thousands of years and the only reason it had managed to maintain this current state without collapsing was because of how formidable and tough the Sealed Pagoda was.

When Qin Yu first obtained the sealed dimension ring and entered the small world that was located in the far-off nothingness, he had been helpless to do anything about its ruined state. But now that a part of him had become the Great Dao Body and because he could clearly see the rules due to other reasons, repairing this small world at least was an incomparably easy task.

This was because this small world’s existence was established with the support of the rules. The foundation of the Sealed Pagoda’s inner world was still intact and as long as he could bring the chaotic rules back into order, it could resume revolving. At that time, it could absorb heaven and earth spiritual energy and slowly repair itself.

There wasn’t much need to describe the process. In short, the result was that the Sealed Pagoda looked at Qin Yu with an even more dignified gaze, as if wandering to itself in puzzlement: how did you suddenly become so epic?

“It should be fine now. The rest will take time to slowly repair. There are still important matters for me to attend to outside, so I won’t stay for much longer.”

“I will deliver master out.”

Space twisted and Qin Yu’s figure vanished from sight. In the next moment, he appeared in the small empty square. There was a smile on his face. The respectful attitude of the Sealed Pagoda left him satisfied. To be able to thoroughly subdue such a precious treasure, it would surely be useful in the future.

Of course, Qin Yu certainly wouldn’t force the Sealed Pagoda to commit any sins that were dishonorable or evil. Otherwise, with its personality, it would rather die than live in dishonor.

Mm. He would have to pay attention to this in the future, lest a single careless mistake mess things up.

Qin Yu swept his eyes around, a look of astonishment on his face. Tie Qianqiu and the others had disappeared and hadn’t waited for him to come back out. Could it be that they were really so confident he would fail?

Unfortunately, I fear the result will leave you disappointed!

He looked up at the dark night and slowly started heading back to his dwelling. Once news of his return spread out, Tie Qianqiu and the others would come over to contact him.

But tonight, the Black Demon Sect seemed a bit different than usual. The air was filled with restlessness. There were strong emotions in the air, those of tearless grief, clenched jaws, and indignation.

What happened?

Qin Yu was puzzled, but he soon obtained an answer. He found himself standing on the recently repaired and maintained grass field that had now been trampled over by others. He looked at the brightly lit palace not too far away and the crowd of cultivators from the Punishment Division that had encircled it.

And outside of that were an even greater number of Black Demon Sect cultivators hovering around the edges. Many of them had pale faces and their bodies were swaying back and forth.

“I knew it! I knew that surnamed Yao wouldn’t have a good ending! You didn’t listen to me and now look what happened! It was with great difficulty that we managed to get a little piece of meat past our lips but then we had to spit it back out and repay three times the amount just to obtain Grandmaster Yao’s favor…you bastard!” From not too far away in the shadows, there were loud shouts that came from between clenched teeth.

This voice immediately aroused a sympathetic response. Many people started to bitterly recount their own grievances.

“This morning I just managed to gather enough presents and I sent them over with a smiling face, and look what happened now?”

“Bastard, give me back my gift! That is ten years of my savings!”

“Who dares to think they are more miserable than me? In order to obtain that surname Yao’s favor, I borrowed spirit stones to give as a present. Before I even made it out, the people from the Punishment Division had already arrived. If it weren’t for the fact that I have some good friends within the Punishment Division, they would already have considered me as one of that surname Yao’s people and captured me!” A cultivator said with an expression that seemed as if he was about to burst into tears.

Needless to say, these were all Black Demon Sect cultivators who had profited from Qin Yu disappearing before, and then upon seeing that the situation was worsening when he returned, had decided to try and remedy it.

Qin Yu had a strange complexion. Something seemed to have gone wrong somewhere. Right now, shouldn’t everyone within the Black Demon Sect be respectfully serving him? He glanced around and saw the clearly listless and depressed Tuba and Tutou. A cloudy color flashed in his eyes.

It seemed that his fingers would start to cramp soon. As for why his fingers would cramp, it was because he would be receiving many spirit stones.

He had just peeled off a thick layer of skin from the Black Demon Sect, but now another opportunity had presented itself. Qin Yu thought that if he didn’t give it a bit more effort this time, he really would be insulting their intelligence.

It was good that things had just started. There was no need for anything to truly happen yet, because with Qin Yu’s current status, as long as he could find an opening he would be able to put on an act to his heart’s content. He took several steps forwards. Then, after thinking about it a little bit more, he turned back around and walked into the shadows. He patted the back of the person who was immersed in grief and sobbing uncontrollably.

“What do you want? I don’t have any spirit stones anymore, I am just a poor foolish wretch!”

“Fellow daoist, there is no need to be sad. The gifts you delivered will surely be useful.” These words sounded comforting, but in this current situation, it was no different from a slap in the face. It was simply unbearable!
