Chapter 1357: Drawing a Boundary

“Damn you assholes! Everyone can enter Bounded Zero Place. Is this your house? Must we leave because you say so? I won’t leave!”

A shout broke the silence. It was like lightning striking flat ground and everyone could hear him clearly.

Very good, scold them. But to say this now, are you not afraid of dying? Let’s see who exactly was this brave soul. Hurry and have a look now so that they could pay homage after today.

Soaring Sky was someone who was calm and strong internally. At this moment, he was also stunned by the various gazes that had turned on him. If he was really the one who said it then maybe he would expect it. But this had nothing to do with him at all?

Hesitating slightly, Soaring Sky shifted to the side and exposed the muscular man behind him, who was folding his arms.

“What are you looking at? That’s right. I said it. You group of bastards. If you are capable, then come get me!”

Everyone froze as their eyes jutted out. There was only one thought in their minds – crazy. This man has gone crazy!

The two groups ruled Bounded Zero Place and had never been cursed at or humiliated in recent years. Maybe in the past there had been a few occurrences. However, all those that did it had their graves dug extremely deep.

Soaring Sky looked at the muscular man who was smirking. Although the man behaved in such a coarse way and seemed arrogant, he admired the man slightly.

In the current situation, even though Soaring Sky was angry, he would not dare to do something like this.

He was really a madman!

Li Zhouyi lifted a hand and pointed, “Border Cliff Saint, kill him!” He no longer cared about the agreement made with the Ruler. He had to kill the person now to set an example. If it became chaotic, the cultivator with the Inextinguishable Flame might take the chance to run.

Boom –

An enormous energy erupted, “Nonsensical person, you are asking for death!” One of the saints lifted his hand and pressed down.

Soaring Sky’s eyebrow raised, he believed that everyone was like him and did not expect the muscular man to have such lightning-fast speed.

They also saw him land before he disappeared like a ghost. He did not seem clumsy at all. Instead, it was the rogue cultivators behind him that got unlucky and were hit hard.

“Border Cliff? At least you know yourself that you are as dumb as a rock, hence the name. Come, come, come. I am here. If you can hit me, I will consider you strong!” Qin Yu cocked his head and mocked emotionlessly.

“Despicable!” Border Cliff Saint’s eyebrows raised. He finally got a chance to show off. As a Saint from the West Desolate, after so many years, no one had dared to be rude to him. “I will show you what it means to create trouble for yourself because of what you say…die!”

With a holler, he punched out.

The Saint was furious. Even in Bounded Zero Place, the energy he emitted was extremely frightening. Perhaps because of his cultivation method, blood red light appeared from his punch and a vague ghostly illusion appeared as it opened its mouth and reached out to swallow Qin Yu.

It was not a divine way but more like something that formed from a particular way of cultivating. It molded a person’s energy and blood together to bring out this kind of power.

A ‘buzz’ sound could be heard beside Qin Yu’s ear as his conscience wavered. This ghost face created by the blood red light had some sort of absorption power. Thankfully, his soul was sufficiently strong and he managed to escape. As his feet landed, he exposed a strong physique that managed to escape time and time again.

The unlucky ones…were those next to him. Following a ‘bam’, several cultivators were engulfed by the blood red light. They were startled as they cried out miserably. Their exposed flesh started to rot as if it had been exposed to acid.

“Just this? You won’t get me. You are merely venting your anger on others. What a joke!” Qin Yu guffawed.

Border Cliff Saint was embarrassed as a vein twitched. This bastard. You were the one who dodged and hurt others. How dare he say that I was the one venting? I have to cut you into a million pieces!

The expressions of the cultivators from the southwest fragmented region had changed. Border Cliff Saint didn’t believe that they could not tell that it was an accident. It was obvious they knew but were pretending not to. This showed that they were thinking of interfering. How brazen!

Li Zhouyi decisively allowed him to act in order to scare the rogue cultivators from the southwest fragmented area. But it seemed like the opposite reaction was achieved. Although Border Cliff Saint did not intend to die for Li Zhouyi, he would lose face if he could not even do such a simple thing.

“I will kill you!” With a growl, Border Cliff Saint dashed out. He absolutely hated Qin Yu for embarrassing him and was extremely brutal.

If they were outside, Qin Yu would not be able to dodge when a True Saint came flying at him. However, in Bounded Zero Place, avoiding was very simple.

Chasing and dodging, they moved all over the place. Wherever Qin Yu went, everyone quickly moved away, afraid of getting caught up in the black punch. But even so, there were a few unlucky people who suffered from Border Cliff Saint’s attack.

Qin Yu continued to scold as he fled. His words made Border Cliff Saint’s face turn both green and purple as he chased, and finally a bright red. His entire head was like a bright and ripe red apple. The only thing that was ruining it was the vein that was pulsing in his forehead. It made others worry that his vein was going to burst open.

Howls and wails could be heard as people scrambled around. Qin Yu glanced at the faces of some Vast Brightness cultivators that had been forced to back away and felt like the time was about right.

Behind him, Border Cliff Saint was about to attack. Qin Yu pretended to misstep and suffered a huge hit. With a groan, he was thrown back. Panic finally showed on his arrogant and crazy face.

“Everyone, the cultivators from the World of Darkness and Mysterious Clan do not dare to fight with us. Otherwise the person that they are trying to catch will escape. We don’t have to be scared! Hehe, I am tired now and will not play with you anymore. Goodbye!”

He turned and left, leaving feathers all over the floor.

Border Cliff Saint growled, “You bastard, you cannot escape!” When he first got angry, he was still conscious of his appearance. But now, he was absolutely furious. A True Saint like him got led all around by a junior cultivator like him. If he could not kill Qin Yu, he would become a joke.

Now, his opponent had suffered a hit and was obviously injured. Where could he run? I am going to kill him!

Woosh –

Li Zhouyi lifted his hand but could only watch as Border Cliff Saint disappeared into the distance like a bull that saw red.

Bastard!

He believed that Border Cliff Saint was definitely furious and he really wanted to kill that man. But he also believed that Border Cliff Saint was just trying to avoid the huge upcoming battle! Now, he had gone to chase. After ‘struggling’ for a while, he would come back and things were have already ended here.

Since he could avoid the dangerous battle, he would not need to bear the responsibility. At most, he would come up with the excuse of having behaved too rashly and not considered the big picture. It didn’t hurt and was harmless.

But very soon, Li Zhouyi was in no mood to continue cursing. What Qin Yu said before he left had struck everyone. In the unease, their eyes lit up.

That’s right. Why did we not think of that!

With how the World of Darkness and Mysterious Clan worked, if they wanted to ban us, they would have already done so. When faced with people who could not die, it was difficult to put up a resistance as they all only had one life.

The more stubborn the cultivators became, the more empty they felt…they were really worried that if a fight broke out, they would lose the person that they wanted to lock in the small world fragment.

Number 327 sighed internally. The sixth prince of the West Desolate, Li Zhouyi, was smart and determined but he was still a bit too fresh. When he proposed the collaboration, couldn’t he have just sent a mind message? Why did he have to say it out loud so that everyone knew.

Now, the scenario that he dreaded most was occurring. The rogue cultivators were realizing what was going on and that forcing them out would be difficult.

Taking a deep breath, Number 327 stepped forwards and spoke in a deep voice, “Everyone, my clan allows all of you to stay but you cannot step into the small world fragment. If you do, you will be the enemy of my clan and we are willing to break the contract and offend the Ruler when that happens!”

He paused before softening his tone, “Of course, as a promise from my clan. If we are unable to find our target or if he escapes the boundary of the small world fragment, we will not interfere if you attempt to find him using your own abilities.”

This was drawing a boundary.

We will look within the boundary and you all can wait outside. If we cannot find our prey or if he escapes past the boundary, then you can try.

Truthfully speaking, these terms were not fair. But in this world, ‘fairness’ did not exist. Everything was built upon power. The two groups were above everyone else.

And the Mysterious Clan was clearly superior!

They had occupied Bounded Zero Place for a long time and had many strong cultivators. Even when they clashed with the World of Darkness, they often had the upper hand.

So his words weighed a lot. It also meant that this was the last offering. They either took it or they clashed.

No one wanted to offend the Mysterious Clan because they were fully capable of conducting a massacre – this had been proven more than once in the past.

The rogue cultivators from the Vast Brightness World had been getting restless, but after hesitating slightly, they finally accepted. The important thing that made them compromise was that they could remain here.

Although they still did not know what the two groups were looking for, they were certain that once either party found it, there would be a huge battle. They would find an opportunity then.

To take advantage of a crisis, they first had to be near the crisis. Hence, to those rogue cultivators from the Vast Brightness World, these terms were acceptable.

Actually, Li Zhouyi had the same thoughts. Number 327 thought that he was too inexperienced, but did not know this sixth prince was equally qualified in terms of scheming.

There was no need to re-explain the difference between the two groups. The Mysterious Clan was already stronger to begin with. Now, the third prince had seven True Saints with him and was nowhere to be found. Moreover, the cultivators from the West Desolate that were in the Bounded Zero Place may also not follow him.

So in terms of strength, the West Desolate were disadvantaged. If there really were a battle, their chances of winning were extremely slim.

Hence, Li Zhouyi had emphasized ‘finding someone’. He was waiting for the other cultivators to realize and participate in the final struggle.

Only if the situation was chaotic would they be able to reduce the strength advantage of the other group. That was his only chance to get the Inextinguishable Flame!

He had silently planted this and changed the power play for himself. For this, he deserved some praise.

Number 327, who had settled the crowd with just a sentence, looked at Li Zhouyi coldly.

He was still unsatisfied as his tone was cold, “Let’s begin!”

Li Zhouyi turned solemn as he nodded. He put on an appearance as if he was angry but suppressing his anger.

The cultivators from the World of Darkness and Mysterious Clan split up. Each of their auras exploded into a circle and sealed the small world fragment.

“Number 327, Li Zhouyi must have intentionally exposed it and attracted the rogue cultivators to interfere. Maybe they will choose to collaborate.” Number 418 lowered his voice. At this moment, he still had the rash and angered look but his eyes also flashed with wisdom.

In this world, everyone had many faces and you never knew if you were looking at their true face.

Number 327 fell silent before nodding. “I know.”

Number 418 smiled and then moved aside.

With the two groups colluding, they were ready to search every nook and cranny in a carpet bombing manner. As they searched, they reduced the perimeter of the circle.

On the other hand, Border Cliff Saint, who was really furious and was also trying to get out of the fight, had finally caught up to Qin Yu.

The turbulent space in Bounded Zero Place was really annoying. In a blink of an eye, he wouldn’t know where someone went.

But if he did not care about the limits of the Eyes of Darkness, he could still pinpoint quite accurately. After all, the Eyes of Darkness had been damaged and Li Zhouyi was responsible. Border Cliff Saint could not be bothered.

Seeing Qin Yu’s face light up with surprise and anger, Border Cliff Saint sneered menacingly, “Little boy, why don’t you continue to run? I thought that you were good with words, continue to scold me!”

Reaching out, the air was suddenly flooded with endless amount of energy. It was as if an invisible mountain had fallen on Qin Yu and was burying him underneath.

“Border Cliff Saint, our Vast Brightness Ruler had made a contract with the World of Darkness. Are you not afraid of suffering the wrath of our Ruler if you kill me?!” Qin Yu shouted, expressing a tough exterior but seeming weak internally.

Border Cliff Saint laughed, “Ruler of the Vast Brightness World? He he, a group of shattered generation that can only run wild in this fragmented world! If I say that today, you were the one who offended me first and caused me to kill you, even your Ruler cannot save you!”

Qin Yu growled, “Nonsense. The Ruler is in the most powerful realm and is the most powerful in the Vast Brightness World. Killing you will be easy!”

Border Cliff Saint looked impatient, “You are such a young one and do not know how big the world is. A Ruler is the cultivation limit? What a joke! In the West Desolate…” As he said this, he was suddenly alarmed as he looked at Qin Yu, “A dead person need not know so much. I will kill you!”

Qin Yu thought that it was a pity. He could have dug out so many things but this person was not that foolish. On the other hand, when someone smart was on the enemy side, they were the most annoying. If he could, he would kill them as fast as possible.

Want to die faster? Easy. I will satisfy you!

Boom –

An enormous force surged forth like a volcano erupting as well as a landslide.

Border Cliff Saint’s eyes widened as his heart was filled with comical terror. The harmless little white rabbit had turned into a man-eating tiger in front of him.

Even if they changed the script, how could it be like that!
