Chapter 687A – Light, Small, Thin, Transparent

The oppressive aura that covered everyone was swept away. Feng Qing revealed a pleasantly surprised expression, “Old Zhao, why are you here?”

“Old Man Xu made a breakthrough in his cultivation and returned to his dwelling to close up there. In the meantime, I was temporarily put in charge of handling affairs.” As Old Zhao spoke to here, he revealed a look of envy before smiling, “I heard that young miss was here. Since I haven’t seen you for such a long time, I came here through the transmission array. I never thought that I would just happen to come across today’s incident. Young miss, please wait a moment. I will deal with this person first.”

After being given a breath of life in such a hopeless situation, Qi Yunshan shook with excitement. “Old Zhao, this person dared to offend the honor of Sky Declaring Pavilion. He cannot be forgiven!”

Old Zhao had a light expression. “Grandmaster Qi, rest assured that I will handle everything fairly.” He looked at Qin Yu, his eyes cold as he said, “You may speak now.”

It was clear that if Qin Yu couldn’t put forth a sufficient background that could deter Sky Declaring Pavilion, then today’s events wouldn’t be easily forgiven.

Countless eyes fell on Qin Yu, revealing both sympathy and regret. Looking at the entire world, a Great Dao realm existence could be considered a powerhouse in their own right, someone that could summon the wind and rain and look down arrogantly at others wherever they travelled.

But this person’s luck was too lacking; he just happened to stumble upon the patrolling expert of Sky Declaring Pavilion. Even if he didn’t die today he would still lose a layer of skin.

But what left everyone surprised was that Qin Yu’s expression remained as light as before, as if he didn’t care about this situation in which he seemed thoroughly suppressed at all. Could it be that he still had another card in his hands that could cause Sky Declaring Pavilion to feel fear?

“Explanation?” After a brief and peaceful silence, Qin Yu slowly opened his mouth, “Then, will Mister Zhao be satisfied with this explanation?”

Within his mind, Qin Yu diligently tried to recall the memories of when he refined the Chain of Stars. He recalled the time when he was placed within the vast starry skies, and imagined himself as those ancient stars that remained unchanging for eternity, filled with infinite strength.

On his finger, the Ring of Liars emitted a faint hum. Qin Yu held his hands across his back, hiding it in his sleeves.

Then, the aura on his body rose once more. Space fiercely shook, countless great ripples spreading out like the surface of a raging sea.

Within his soul space, the Chain of Stars that twined around his soul suddenly emitted a faint starlight. It passed through his body and surrounded him.

Vast and boundless, an aura that seemed as if it could swallow and contain all gushed free from his body, as limitless as the starry skies above.

Rumble rumble –

The clouds in the skies above Parasol Tree Mountain were instantly torn apart by an invisible strength. The bright sun darkened as stars appeared in the void.

A cold and mystical starlight cast down upon the earth. It formed the shadow figures of men and women, all of them chanting syllables of praise and reverence. A divine and holy aura covered the world.

“Divine Dao!” Old Zhao lost his voice, almost biting off his own tongue. His mind rumbled and he fell into a panic.

He never imagined that today he would actually face an unsurpassed Divine Dao realm existence. Moreover, it was a heaven-defying existence that was capable of condensing the myriad stars in the skies and had stepped onto the path of stars.

No, that wasn’t right. This wasn’t a complete Divine Dao aura, it seemed to be missing something…yes, if he were facing a true Divine Dao existence, a single glance would have made him lose all ability to resist.

This person in front of him must be a formidable existence who had touched upon the threshold of the Divine Dao realm and could step into it at any moment. Perhaps he was travelling through the world, seeking a turning point to break through into divine transformation.

Looking at Qin Yu who shined with starlight, Old Zhao had already imagined Qin Yu’s complete backstory for him. He hurriedly bowed, his face full of respect and horror as he said, “I did not know that a revered Divine Dao had appeared. I have accidentally offended you. I beg you to take into consideration the face of my family’s master and show mercy!”

Divine Dao…

Feng Qing’s eyes widened and her mind fell into panic, everything around her turning black. Even with her status, she had never once come into contact with a Divine Dao existence.

This was an existence that stood upon the peak of this world. With a thought they could reverse night and day. Just by lifting a hand they could cause this world to change colors.

Qi Yunshan’s complexion was like dying embers. He plopped to his knees, his body violently shivering as inexhaustible fear filled his heart.

Divine Dao, this was actually a Divine Dao existence. Such a great figure could crush his entire Qi Family with nothing but a finger.

Elder Liu Zang streamed with sweat and his heart beat wildly. His robes were drenched with sweat. They clung tight to his body, leaving him looking thoroughly distressed.

If there was medicine for regret, he would have eaten an entire jar by now. Damn it, why didn’t anyone tell him about this!? This was clearly just a minor matter of seeking a bracelet, but it had actually developed into such a situation.

Even a Divine Dao existence had revealed himself, this was just too absurd…Elder Liu Zang could only pray that no one paid attention to him right now. He hoped that this Divine Dao existence could forget a minor character like him and let him go!

Bathed in starlight, like a god arriving upon the earth, Qin Yu’s voice was deep and low. Each syllable he uttered seemed to shake the void.

“If it wasn’t for Sky Declaring Pavilion’s master, do you think I would so easily forgive you for offending me?”

Old Zhao’s face paled. “I thank the revered Divine. Your mercy is as great as the heavens, capable of holding all things!”

The horrifying aura that flooded the world suddenly and completely vanished, as if everything that happened just now was nothing but an illusion.

Old Zhao’s pupils shrank. As a senior powerhouse of the Great Dao realm, he had the qualifications to come into contact with some secrets related to the Divine Dao realm.

The scene that happened proved that this person truly controlled the key point to stepping into the Divine Dao realm. He could make a breakthrough at any moment.

Only like this could he freely emit and recall this energy with his heart, the power to control the heavens and earth.

And this sort of formidable control could only be achieved by slowly accumulating it over a long span of years…this person seemed to be acquainted with his master, but in his impression he had no information about him.

Of course, Old Zhao was only a bit confused. He didn’t dare to express any suspicions at all.

He had personally witnessed the aura of a Divine Dao with his own eyes. That sort of terrifying boundary could not be faked.

“We greet the revered Divine!”

Old Zhao fell to his knees.

Shualala –

Everyone in Sky Declaring Pavilion knelt. This was the unsurpassed reverence that a Divine Dao existence deserved.

Mu Xuan had a stunned expression. She was pulled to the ground by her uncle before she could regain her composure. She never thought that this senior who brought her back was such a legendary character.

No wonder this senior hadn’t killed her off to eliminate any potential informants. It was because he never considered killing Qi Shengtian and the others any trouble at all.

As for the warning he gave her before they parted, it was likely just because he didn’t want other matters to affect his mood.

“Ancestors bless us…ancestors bless us…our Mu Family finally…has a chance to prosper again…”

Mu Tong’s whispers caused Mu Xuan to regain her senses. She looked up and saw her uncle’s excited and almost frantic expression as he looked at her.

“Mu Xuan! Little girl, you accomplished a great merit this time! After this, the future of our Mu Family will all depend on you!”

Although she was ignorant of affairs, this didn’t mean she was stupid. Mu Xuan soon understood the meaning behind her uncle’s words.

But between her and senior, they had already cleared their accounts. There was nothing else between them.

Her lips moved but she didn’t speak. She knew that after today’s events, the Mu Family was destined to be valued by others.

To be associated with a Divine Dao existence…even if it was only a suspicion, that was enough for the Mu Family to escape their current predicament.

“Mu Xuan.”

A calm voice resounded, giving her a jump. Her eyes widened like a frightened rabbit as she stared at Qin Yu in a blank daze.

“I very much like the gift you gave me. If you have need of anything in the future, simply give my name.”

The act was successful so there was no need to put it to waste. Qin Yu decided to push the boat along and help the Mu Family. He would simply regard this as repayment for the Chain of Stars.

Mu Tong’s head buzzed and he almost fainted from blood rushing to his brain. Joy came too fast, so fast that he couldn’t prepare for it. Their Mu Family’s spring had arrived!

Countless envious eyes fell upon the Mu Family uncle and niece. Still, all of them secretly plotted in their hearts for how to draw closer connections to them.

But no one was stupid enough to think of taking advantage of Mu Xuan. Who knew what sort of relationship she had with this person.

Old Zhao respectfully said, “Revered Divine, rest assured that Sky Declaring Pavilion will shelter the Mu Family from here on. We shall not disappoint you.”

He icily glanced over Qi Yunshan, revealing a look of deep loathing. It was because of this bastard that he almost provoked a great accident.

“Revered Divine, would you like to further process this matter?”

Qin Yu nodded and swept his eyes around. “I am travelling the world for pleasure and do not wish to be disturbed. As for today’s matter, let it rot away in your bellies.”

These words extinguished everyone’s greedy thoughts. No one dared to ignore the warnings of a Divine Dao existence.
