Chapter 1254: Causing Trouble

…

Mm?

At this moment, Qin Yu’s eyes flashed. A swarm of ants appeared in front of him with a thought. They were the purpleback bluewing ants that had retreated behind the scenes for a long time already.

They were just too easily defeated. The main reason was that Qin Yu’s strength had improved too quickly. If he brought them out and the opponent was too strong, it would be the same as sending the ant swarm to die.

For instance, just by appearing in the Lost Garden, these purpleback bluewing ants that were once extremely fierce and killed countless enemies all flapped their wings in chaos, shakily meandering around.

It had to be known that this place almost completely preserved the environment of ancient times. Countless formidable life forms lived here and the wild aura they naturally released covered every inch of the land. It wasn’t something they could withstand.

Qin Yu flicked his sleeves and space twisted, isolating out the aura of the wilderness. Only then did the purpleback bluewing ants manage to steady themselves.

Without needing to be urged, the ant swarm threw themselves onto the ground, covering the torn corpse of the giant monkey.

What followed were frightening sounds of tearing and chewing.

Their speed was fast. When the ant swarm flew back, all that remained on the ground was a pale skeleton. There wasn’t even a drop of blood left over.

As for the purpleback bluewing ants, their bellies were round and full. They shakily flew around, clearly about to enter a food coma.

Fortunately, their auras were stable. After sensing them and discovering nothing wrong, Qin Yu put them away.

These purpleback bluewing ants had followed Qin Yu since he was small and weak, so it wasn’t an exaggeration to say he had some feelings towards them. If he could help strengthen them during this trip into the Lost Garden, then of course that was for the best.

But the specifics depended on their speed of digestion. If one giant monkey was enough for them to eat their fill, it was useless to think more about it.

His eyes flashed and he looked around. He sped off into the distance.

As he absorbed the strength from the source of life he had been cultivating within the rules trial field. Old Turtle hadn’t been idling around either.

Thus, Qin Yu now had a goal.

…

After being separated in the black storm, Qin Yu never thought that he would be able to meet Flatrock and Dragon Peak again. But fate was this marvelous. In the massive Lost Garden, they reunited once again.

Qin Yu was surprised when their eyes met. But looking at the expressions of Flatrock and Dragon Peak, they clearly never imagined that Qin Yu would be able to survive the black storm.

Yet soon, the two composed their expressions. Flatrock coughed lightly but the one who spoke first was Dragon Peak, “Junior-apprentice brother Qin, have you seen Tan Hai and Cang Zhu?”

With a few words, Qin Yu understood that this young man was still longing for that bad luck star with the small chest. Forgetting all else, this eyesight of his would kill him sooner or later.

At this time, Qin Yu hesitated. He already had a goal so he shouldn’t be wasting his time. Should he eliminate these two people? After all, the Dragon Mountain Holy Land was hostile to the Peach Garden, so he wouldn’t have any psychological burden in doing this.

There was certainly an advantage. Once these two people died, then besides Tan Hai and Cang Zhu, no one else would know about his existence. This would make him even more covert and safe.

His thoughts turned even as he subconsciously responded, “I haven’t seen them…” As he spoke, there was a flawless transformation of surprise and joy on his face.

Even Qin Yu was stunned. He didn’t plan on doing it but he had done it without thinking…sure enough, acting was addicting!

No, this isn’t good. My goal is to find even more source of life, not to be a successful actor. If my road has swerved off the right path, I need to decisively bring it back. Let’s start with killing these two people, using their blood as a sacrifice!

Flatrock and Dragon Peak were disappointed. They never imagined that Qin Yu was already considering which one of them to kill first.

After obtaining a response, Dragon Peak’s interest in Qin Yu was greatly diminished. He put on an indifferent and aloof expression and turned his head to say, “That person from the Peach Garden is almost here. Senior-apprentice brother, let’s head over.”

Qin Yu clenched his hands together, revealing a doubtful look.

Flatrock lightly coughed, “Junior-apprentice brother Qin came at just the right time. There is a matter that we happen to need your help with.”

He had suddenly thought of an even better idea. Not only could he kill without leaving a trace, but he could remove all suspicion from himself. After all, this was the Peach Garden. Although there were no Saints in the Lost Garden, no matter how concealed something was, as long as it happened it could be found out.

That was a True Saint that reached the other shore. It was best to be cautious against the mysteries of that realm.

As Flatrock spoke, he eyed Dragon Peak. Although Dragon Peak didn’t understand much, he smartly kept his mouth shut and didn’t say anything.

“It’s not a big deal. Let’s talk as we walk, junior-apprentice brother Qin!” Flatrock warmly smiled as he grabbed Qin Yu’s hand.

On the road, he spoke in vague riddles. But, Qin Yu was able to make out some points.

It seemed that some people in the Lost Garden had discovered traces of a certain disciple from the Peach Garden and were preparing to join forces to cause some trouble. Just like the Dragon Mountain Holy Land, they all stood on the opposite side of the Peach Garden.

But this reason clearly wasn’t enough. When it came to seeking revenge, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future. Why waste the time they had in the Lost Garden?

So the most likely reason was that this Peach Garden disciple had something on him that they desperately wanted, enough that they were willing to collaborate in this plot.

Who could it be?

Elder senior-apprentice brother was immediately eliminated. It wasn’t that he looked down on Flatrock and Dragon Peak, but it was often said that birds of a feather flocked together. Even if a bunch of people similar to Flatrock and Dragon Peak joined forces, what could they possibly do? For elder senior-apprentice brother, it would be no different from delivering vegetables to him. They would be chopped up in an instant.

Okay, he did look down on them!

As for third senior-apprentice brother, he had been handling the various affairs and businesses of the Peach Garden, so his reputation wasn’t that small within the Saint circles. In addition, he had a tyrannical bloodline, so the chances of people plotting against him were small.

Out of the three Peach Garden disciples, two were basically eliminated. Only Lei Xiaoyu was left. Although Qin Yu had made some speculations that the Spring Master was planning on doing something, speculations were just speculations. He had no actual evidence.

If Lei Xiaoyu really was Lei Xiaoyu and she just happened to be the target, then that girl was in danger.

These thoughts rapidly flashed through Qin Yu’s mind. He came to a decision. He would first spare the lives of these two for now and go and take a look.

After all, no matter who their target was, they were people from the Peach Garden. Now that he was made aware, there was no reason to stand back.

There wasn’t much to say about the journey. The only thing that surprised Qin Yu was that the one in charge of leading the way was Dragon Peak. And as if by coincidence, they happened to avoid several areas that had been deemed high-risk by Old Turtle.

Once or twice could be considered a coincidence, but this was five, six, seven, eight times already. Qin Yu didn’t believe they were so lucky.

Qin Yu couldn’t help but quietly glance at this seemingly mediocre and brainless ‘second-generation’ cultivator.

Was he pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger? Or was there another reason?

As if sensing Qin Yu’s gaze, Flatrock smiled and said, “Junior-apprentice brother Dragon Peak has a unique talent and was born with sharp senses. Following him is definitely not wrong.”

Dragon Peak lightly coughed and held his hands behind his back. He looked up at the skies at a 45 degree angle, as if he was a wise sage.

Qin Yu immediately cast a look of envy, surprise, and admiration. This could be called a fully satisfying expression.

My acting skills…seemed to have improved again…could it be that in my bones…I am a veteran actor…

As Qin Yu’s thoughts were wandering, he suddenly frowned inwardly. Old Turtle had informed him that a good number of cultivators were gathered up ahead.

It seemed they had arrived.

After Flatrock gave a signal, over a dozen cultivators appeared in front of him.

Qin Yu had basically no impression of them. Before the Lost Garden opened, he was paying attention to the fierce characters around elder senior-apprentice brother. He tried his best to remember them, to prepare himself in advance in case he encountered them here.

“Flatrock, Dragon Peak, who is this?” A cultivator asked, his eyebrows furrowed together.

The other people also had unsightly expressions.

Everyone knew what the plan was today. Yet you dare to bring a new face. If news of this spreads, how will we survive in the future?

Flatrock smiled and cupped his hands together, “Everyone, this junior-apprentice brother is the descendant of the Dragon Mountain Saint’s old friend. He is absolutely trustworthy.”

When he finished speaking he put on an apologetic look and said, “Junior-apprentice brother Qin, please wait at the side. I must explain things to these people so that there aren’t any problems.”

Qin Yu put on a fearful expression and nodded as he moved to the side.

Flatrock flicked his sleeve, laying down a barrier. As he looked at everyone, a sharp light exploded in his eyes. “In the end, that person is a disciple of the Peach Garden, so we should do our best not to get involved as much as we can, and to stay as far away as possible. None of us can guarantee the limits of the Spring Master’s supernatural powers, nor are we sure that we won’t be discovered. This person is insurance that I found for us. He will be the one making the move and all the karma and causal effect will be concentrated on his body. Then, that person will die in the Lost Garden. Even if the Spring Master has transcendent abilities, we won’t be exposed.”

With these words, everyone’s eyes began to shine.

After a while, Flatrock called Qin Yu over. The scene could be called warm and comforting. When the crowd looked at Qin Yu, it was like they were looking at their own brother.

Qin Yu revealed surprise towards this. It wasn’t too obvious, but it was just enough for Flatrock to notice.

He smiled and lowered his voice to say, “Junior-apprentice brother, these fellow daoists don’t know you, so to avoid you being excluded I took the liberty to make a decision for you. I promised them that when the time comes, you will be responsible for a key step. Of course, you have no need to worry about your safety. Since we have decided to do this, we have completed all preparations. Once you do your job, you will obtain their trust and also your share of the benefits.”

Qin Yu hesitated a little.

Flatrock said, “Junior-apprentice brother Qin, you already know too much. If you refuse, things will be difficult for me.”

A stick in one hand and a carrot in the other!

Qin Yu sneered inwardly. But on the outside, he put on an indecisive appearance. After some time, he clenched his teeth and agreed.
