Chapter 1658A: Demon Pool

White Iris’ mouth gaped slightly before she knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Rourou, “Yes.”

The corners of Rourou’s lips turned up before she remarked, “You’ve indeed learned some clever tricks. Okay, get lost then!”

She raised her hand and plunged a Half Sword Shadow into White Iris’ body.

White Iris groaned and started to cough up big mouthfuls of blood. However, her eyes became even brighter.

Indeed, the lady is fierce to me, but she still regards me highly in her heart. Otherwise, she would not have given me half a Sword Dao to suppress the illness in my body.

There was a look of disgust on Rourou’s face and she slapped outwards. White Iris directly flew back and landed heavily outside the doorway.

Qin Yu stopped in his tracks when he saw the scene in front of him. It was not right to go over now, but it would be even worse to just turn and leave.

However, it was as if White Iris did not feel embarrassed at all as she got up, looked at him, and said blandly, “I’m leaving now.”

Qin Yu was slightly taken aback before there was a look of realization on his face. He cupped his hands and said, “Congratulations.”

White Iris was expressionless as she continued, “When I’m not around, you have to take care of the lady. If anything happens to her, I will make sure you die together with me.”

She was not sure that she could kill Qin Yu now, but if she wanted both of them to die together, that wouldn’t be hard.

In the room, Rourou’s cold laughter rang out, “White Iris, if you have a death wish, you don’t have to go anymore.”

White Iris bowed respectfully before turning around to leave, disappearing from their sight.

Qin Yu touched his nose and thought to himself, ‘Do whatever you guys want, but don’t drag me into it.’

It’s unfair, really unfair!

“Qin Yu!”

Rourou’s voice was full of anger and annoyance.

Qin Yu coughed lightly before plastering a calm expression on his face and entering the room, “I just came to check up on your condition and also to ask you when we are leaving.”

Rourou had a dangerous look in her eyes as she glared at Qin Yu for a few moments. Thankfully, he was good at concealing his emotions now, so Rourou did not flare up at him.

“Hmph!”

She got up and directly walked out, using her actions to reply to his question.

……

Priest Chen from Infinite Monastery had been awake all night drowning his sorrows with wine. When he saw White Iris arrive before him, he froze on the spot.

“There is something that I have to clarify with you. In this life, I will only be My Lady’s servant. After learning your Sword Dao, I will return to My Lady. If you are willing to accept this, I will follow you back to Infinite Monastery.”

Priest Chen was so elated he was on the verge of tears.

As long as you are willing to follow me back to Infinite Monastery to inherit this Sword Dao, whatever you say goes, I do not have any opinion!

Then, in Ask Immortal Building, the old daoist who had accumulated a ton of alcohol bills left behind a note that said, ‘Let the shopkeeper pay for my bill’. Next, he took his new precious disciple to board a carriage and they left the Jade Gate.

The servers in Ask Immortal Building did not stop him either. Because of some undisclosed matters that they were unaware of, Shopkeeper Liu had given them orders not to get in the way of this old daoist from Infinite Monastery.

It was a long journey and the old daoist personally sped the carriage up. Strands of Sword Dao aura floated inside the carriage, and he could not help but take a sip of wine as he smiled happily.

Teacher, your disciple Chen Chuan has not let you down. I’ve finally found someone who is worthy to inherit your mantle!

……

The Jade Gate was huge, so huge that within it, there were three mountains and six rivers, and the land was split into an inner area and an outer area…to explain it simply, East Pole Mountain that was situated at the West Desolate’s border was just a small mountain that originated from the mountain range that belonged to the Central Desolate’s inner area.

West City, Bull Fighting Mountain, and Star Picking Mountain were the names of the three mountains within the Jade Gate. That was also their order from west to east, and now, Qin Yu and Rourou were traversing Bull Fighting Mountain.

That’s right, they were making their journey step by step. Qin Yu asked for the reason why they had to do this, but Rourou merely scoffed and said that he did not need to understand.

Indeed, Rourou had a specialty of suffocating people; I am willing to bow down to admit that!

Bull Fighting Mountain was also known as Fighting Bull Mountain. According to legends, long ago, there was a great demon that cultivated deep in this mountain. Because of its cultivation process, the earth in a thousand-mile radius collapsed, which formed a shape that looked like a bull had been flipped over.

Another great cultivator came to this place, and, using the power of celestials, he subdued this great demon. The demon’s body was shattered and refined into an earth vein. The collapsed ground was also repaired and the spiritual aura was reaccumulated.

Afterwards, this place was chosen for the Jade Gate to be built on because of the stable earth vein that was formed here after the great demon was refined.

Otherwise, if the Jade Gate was built on ordinary land, the ground would not be able to endure the weight. Ordinary land would just collapse into itself and form a deep abyss.

Now, as Rourou walked on the mountain, the great demon’s soul resonated from deep within it.

An illusion of a huge bull flickered where red and yellow earth veins were intertwined with each other. In its eyes, there was shock, fear, agitation, and disbelief.

As they moved forward, even though they chose not to fly, they had foot strength that was much better than an ordinary person’s and Bull Fighting Mountain was not a very dangerous place either. It only took them two hours to reach the peak.

Rourou frowned and there was some impatience on her face as she suddenly laughed coldly, “You’d better think carefully. If you don’t come out now, you can forget about coming out forever!”

Right when Qin Yu frowned and felt slightly fearful in his heart, the ground started to shake. A huge bull that had a sturdy and strong body with shiny fur suddenly leaped out. Its front hooves fell to the ground as it knelt down. It lowered its head respectfully and greeted, “This little demon greets the two immortals!”

Its mouth was not moving, but its words could clearly be heard.

Qin Yu did not think there was indeed a huge bull that hid underneath Bul Fighting Mountain. After looking it up and down for a while, he realized something.

This bull looked like its true body was here, but it was actually formed from the condensation of energy. In essence, this was a Great Bull Demon’s soul.

It was very strong.

It was a pity that back then, Qin Yu did not know that the Nine-tailed Fox that hid at the Min Residence had been killed. Otherwise, he would have realized that this bull was truly a great demon that was much stronger than the Nine-tailed Fox, who had not been so lucky to advance to the next realm.

Of course, the difference in these two demons’ strength had no significance to Rourou. Even though she was quite different to how she was last time, all the demons in this world still did not dare to bare their teeth at her.

Otherwise, Min Changjing, who had moved from the West Desolate’s Imperial Capital to the Thousand Islands, would not have been angered repeatedly or hesitated repeatedly and still ended up bowing his head in defeat.

Rourou looked at Big Bull with a seemingly innocent gaze, but to the bull, the gaze felt heavier than the mountain beneath it.

Its four legs grew weak and it directly crouched on the floor. Then, its body started to tremble.

Rourou frowned, thinking to herself that the demons in this world had become more cowardly, and that it was not like this in the past. However, their level of boldness did not really impact her in taking what she wanted.

“Bull, being able to meet me today is your great fortune. As long as you are willing to give me a Demon Elixir from your body, I will throw you into the Demon Pool. Your spiritual wisdom will not be extinguished and you will be able to reincarnate.”

Big Bull was extremely thankful as it continuously nodded its head, “Much thanks, Immortal. This little demon is willing!”

All rumors in this world stemmed from an actual truth. However, the hateful Great Qin cultivators distorted the key parts of the story. Back then, it was clearly the Qin Empire who wanted to build the Jade Gate here, which was why they used methods to force Big Bull out of the ground. This caused it to be flipped and collapse the ground around it.

Then, they used that as an excuse to kill it. They broke down its flesh and integrated it with the ground, and then refined its soul into an earth vein to stabilize the surrounding mountains and rivers so that it could bear the weight of the Jade Gate.
