Chapter 710: Agreent
Translator: CKtalon Editor: CKtalon
That day, Qin Yun secretly left Mt. Lightning Roar and arrived at the Effulgent Great World.
“To deal with Elder Yellowbeard, it is imperative to get Hou Yi’s help.” Qin Yun ca to the front of a secluded wooden hut. At a glance, he saw the fishing Hou Yi.
“Haha, Brother Qin Yun, you only have a few decades left to your tribulation; yet, you still rember to visit an old friend.” Hou Yi lowered his fishing rod and got up to welco him. Although Hou Yi was quite a loner, he had gone through thick and thin with Qin Yun.
Qin Yun smiled and said, “I have no other option, so I ca to seek your help.”
“Seek my help?” Hou Yi smiled. “What help do you need? Feel free to tell ; I’ll do my best.”
The duo sat down and Hou Yi rushed to pour so tea for him. “Drink so tea. These were personally plucked by .”
Qin Yun raised the teacup to his mouth and said, “Seeing as we’ve safely returned from our foray into the spatial tide, the Three Realms guesses that we have reaped trendous rewards.”
“Haha, they guessed right! Furthermore, the rewards we reaped are far greater than they can imagine,” Hou Yi said rather happily.
“Yeah.”
Qin Yun nodded. “However, treasures are a temptation. Many old bastards are eyeing my treasures. None of them dare to do a thing with alive and are probably waiting for my death to start with their monkey business. But I never expected that one old bastard would cause trouble even before I’m dead.”
“Who is it?” Hou Yi inquired.
“Elder Yellowbeard,” said Qin Yun.
“That old loach?” Hou Yi was enlightened. “That old loach is extrely greedy. He has cooperated with the Fiend Ancestor nurous tis. It’s only because of his impressive life preservation thods that the Daoists and Buddhists have not been able to do much to him.”
Qin Yun nodded. “This ti, he is using the excuse of killing Chaos Godfiend Yuci to demand compensation from . He wants a Connate Cardinal treasure.”
“What an exorbitant price.” Hou Yi scoffed.
“If I do not agree to it, he promises to exterminate my Qin family if I were to perish from the tribulation,” Qin Yun said calmly, but his eyes were filled with a ferocity. “In fact, a Connate Cardinal treasure is nothing to . However, if I were to really agree to it, perhaps even more old bastards will appear and there will be no peace left for my Qin family. Before my tribulation, I must settle everything for my family! After all, I’ve offended nurous experts. It’s fine as long as I’m alive, but I would only implicate my family if I perish.”
“What do you plan on doing?” Hou Yi looked at Qin Yun.
“My first step is to make an example out of Yellowbeard! He is well known for his life-preservation abilities and he likes to make himself appear front and center, so I’ll kill him first! I’ll let the old bastards in the Three Realms see... that even Elder Yellowbeard can be killed. If that’s true, how many of them can withstand my vengeance?”
“Kill Elder Yellowbeard?” Hou Yi frowned. “If we were to fight him in a frontal assault, his body is inferior even to Daoist Wen’s! However, he was born in the river of ti and can slip away by hiding into the river of ti. There... no one in the Three Realms can pursue him, much less his nine other avatars. Including his main body, he has a total of ten.
“The nine avatars are of varying strength. It’s said the strongest matches his actual body,” said Hou Yi. “Once you take action, his other avatars will definitely hide away into the Tenebrous Fiend Abyss.
“Taking all these aspects in mind, it’s indeed difficult to kill him,” Hou Yi said.
“Brother Hou Yi, can you kill his other avatars through karma by killing one body?” Qin Yun inquired.
Hou Yi frowned slightly. “The might delivered through karma will be greatly reduced. To kill his nine avatars... I will have to burn my Essence Soul and release my nine successive arrows. I’m confident only with the sixth or seventh arrow.”
When burning his Essence Soul, his first arrow already had the might of the Heavenly Dao realm.
The ninth arrow...
That was strong enough to kill one of Bohan Island Lord’s strongest avatars.
Comparing Elder Yellowbeard to Bohan Island Lord, be it realm or protective ans, he was much weaker. However, Qin Yun needed to ensure that all of Yellowbeard’s avatars were killed.
“You are confident, right?” Qin Yun’s eyes lit up.
“Of course, even if his life-preservation abilities exceeds my expectations, the ninth Essence Soul-burning arrow will definitely kill him through karma,” said Hou Yi with a smile. “But in that case, I will have to consu a Soul Heart Fruit or enter a slumber.”
Qin Yun nodded and said, “If you are really forced to use a Soul Heart Fruit, I’ll make it up to you.”
“I estimate the seventh or eighth arrow should be sufficient. The damage can be slowly restored, so there’s no need for a Soul Heart Fruit,” said Hou Yi. Although it would take him a long while to recover from his injuries, he could be restored to his peak at any ti with the Soul Heart Fruits in his possession; therefore, he was filled with confidence! In the past, Hou Yi would not allow himself to be in a heavily damaged state for a prolonged period of ti because he lacked the Soul Heart Fruits.
Qin Yun said, “Brother Hou Yi, I’m willing to pay one Soul Heart Fruit in exchange for your help.”
Hou Yi was sowhat enticed.
To Hou Yi, one Soul Heart Fruit implied that he could burn his Essence Soul to deliver nine successive arrows! Therefore, the allure that the Soul Heart Fruits gave him was of a value far greater than what the other perfected Great Dao existences felt.
“A Soul Heart Fruit is more valuable than a Connate Cardinal treasure. Furthermore, I doubt that old loach would need my ninth arrow. I will not take advantage of you,” Hou Yi said with a shake of his head.
“Hear out. I won’t be able to hand you the Soul Heart Fruit for now.”
Qin Yun said, “I’m in desperate need of these Soul Heart Fruits before my tribulation. Therefore, I’ll first be using the spatial shields as a pledge.”
With a flip of his hand, the eighteen shields floated in front of him.
Hou Yi’s eyes lit up. “This is Bohan Island Lord’s defensive treasure.”
“If I were to transcend successfully, I’ll naturally use the remaining Soul Heart Fruits to exchange for the spatial shields,” said Qin Yun. “But if I were to perish during the tribulation, I would naturally have expended them all. This shield will then be yours. Be it the future Qin family or the future Green Touring Palace, they might not be able to hold on to it.”
With his master leaving the Three Realms and him failing to transcend the tribulation, all Green Touring Palace would have to support it would be his Eldest Senior Sister.
Her strength...
It was only considered average among the perfected Great Dao existences. Just supporting Green Touring Palace was tough since it had many treasures. Having the additional shields would only increase her pressure. However, no one would dare have any thoughts about the shields if they were in Hou Yi’s hands.
“I’ll receive either a Soul Heart Fruit or a defensive cardinal treasure by helping?” Hou Yi shook his head. He was a proud man and was unwilling to take advantage of Qin Yun.
“Apart from helping, I still have another request,” said Qin Yun. “If I were to perish from the tribulation, I hope you could do your best to protect my Qin family.”
Hou Yi looked at Qin Yun.
He could tell how pleaful Qin Yun’s eyes were.
There was no other way about it.
The thing he could not let go of the most was his family—Xiaoxiao, Yiyi, ng Huan, Yuluo, and company.
“Qin Yun is such a proud person; yet, he would plead for help on this matter.” Hou Yi sighed.
“Brother Qin Yun, I’ll take this defensive cardinal treasure,” said Hou Yi. “If you were to fail transcending the tribulation, I’ll definitely do my best to protect your Qin family. Also... after dealing with Elder Yellowbeard, your Qin family has a Fairy Yuluo. She’s likely the most outstanding person among your Qin family’s juniors.”
“Yes, she’s my granddaughter,” said Qin Yun.
“Let her be my disciple,” Hou Yi said. “I will also invite my friends to bear witness!”
Qin Yun’s eyes lit up.
Yuluo would beco Hou Yi’s disciple? And he would invite friends to bear witness? If this was done after Yellowbeard was killed, anyone who thought to deal with the Qin family would have to consider again.
“Thanks,” said Qin Yun.
“It’s nothing to .” Hou Yi said wistfully. “What I wish for the most is that you successfully transcend the tribulation. After all, there are few in the Three Realms... that I consider a friend.”
Qin Yun nodded with a smile. “Right, you haven’t used the Spirit Enlightening Fruit yet, right?”
Hou Yi’s heart stirred and imdiately asked, “Not yet. How did it feel when you took it?”
“It imrsed into a state of enlightennt for five hundred years,” Qin Yun said. “Indeed, my realm improved trendously. However, I have to remind you that... you will only gain insight into the accumulated experience you had in the past during the epiphany. For example, I had been studying the Dao of Yin and Yang previously. Therefore, I managed to figure out the Dao of Supre Yang and Dao of Supre Yin after the epiphany! I had also been focused on the Misty Rain Array, so I improved trendously there as well.
“Without any accumulated experience, you would not gain any new insights from ingesting the fruit.
“Therefore, the more your accumulated experience is, the more you reap from the epiphany,” said Qin Yun.
Hou Yi’s eyes suffused a glint when he heard that.
Spirit Enlightening Fruits were legends in the spatial tide; therefore, the purported benefits gained from consuming them were vague as described by Palatial Lord Myriad Flower. All they knew was that they would enter a state of epiphany.
Having consud it, Qin Yun could allow Hou Yi to prepare himself.
“From the looks of it, I should push back my consumption of the Spirit Enlightening Fruit.” Hou Yi appeared in thought before saying solemnly, “What you said to is far more valuable than a Spirit Enlightening Fruit.”
“Then when can you take action against Elder Yellowbeard?” asked Qin Yun.
“Anyti.” Hou Yi smiled. “I’ll just wait for your plans. However, I won’t be able to find him if he were to hide in the river of ti.”
“Killing him is the hardest part. The others are nothing,” said Qin Yun with a smile. Killing Yellowbeard required a few key elents, and Hou Yi was the most important elent.
