Chapter 1751 – The World’s First King Realm Swordsman

The leader of that clan was slightly stunned as he looked at Qin Yu. 


“The first one is not difficult.”


“The second one…Bull Dingtian is not easy to deal with.”


Qin Yu replied, “I am able to unify Swallow Mountain by myself, I would just require a bit more time.”


With this, he was indicating that the second condition was more important. 


The clan leader replied, “I need an explanation. I don’t believe that it is just love.”


Qin Yu frowned and replied, “I need Bull Bean for my Great Dao cultivation. I am sorry that I cannot give more details.”


That seemed about right.


Back then when Bull Dingtian rushed to cut off his relationship with Qin Yu, things felt strange. 


But what if it was because he had noticed what Qin Yu was trying to do with Bull Bean? Then everything would make sense. 


As for the truth as to why Qin Yu needed Bull Bean…actually the leader did not mind. 


Everyone had their own desires. He just needed to ensure that he could protect the interests of his clan. 


The relationship between that clan and Bull Dingtian was strained, and it was like all that was left holding it together was a thin piece of paper.


And since Qin Yu was standing against Bull Dingtian, then it seemed they had a good foundation to collaborate on. 


“Sect Master Qin, I can agree to your conditions.” The clan leader said, “But, what can I gain?”


“Like you said, you cannot become a True King for the time being and my clan’s situation is that we need a True King in order to stabilize our position.”


Qin Yu lifted his hand and the Mountains and Rivers Sword landed in his grasp. He slashed towards the sky. 


Boom boom boom –


With a thunderous sound, the invisible seal that the leader had set up was broken. 


The dome was sliced in half and a horrifying sword aura was like a huge mouth, destroying everything. 


Storing his sword, Qin Yu looked calm, “Clan Leader, do you think that I can help you stabilize the situation?”


A swordsman with the best attacking power!


Fighting above their level was perfectly normal to them. 


Even if he was a Half-King, he would be able to fight a True King!


The leader’s eyes lit up as he clapped and laughed, “Welcome Sect Master Qin as the Exalted One of our clan. If we work together, there will be huge possibilities in the future!”


“Clan Leader, there is one thing that I need your agreement on. Number 327 affects my Great Dao. I hope that she will be able to stay with me for a while.”


The clan leader nodded, “Okay. In the future, I will ask her to follow you and train.”


……


White Iris gave a sour look, “Qin Yu!”


She never thought that she would be kept in the dark. 


This meant that in the entire plan, her lady did not even think of her as a useful chess piece. 


This was what made White Iris feel the most awful!


But now, she could not care about any of this. She spoke icily, “Where is the lady? I cannot detect any of her aura!”


Qin Yu lifted his hand and gestured for her to be quiet, “Lower your voice. Though I have sealed this place, if that clan finds out, you will probably die here.”


He would naturally be able to escape. 


Looking at White Iris, who appeared like she was about to explode, Qin Yu shook his head internally. Why would such a pretty lady think so drastically? However, he could not let her create trouble now. 


“She left. She will be gone for a while.”


White Iris stared at him without moving. 


Qin Yu replied, “Really.”


“Where is the lady’s house?”


“You can’t find it.”


White Iris wanted to say something else.


Qin Yu looked at her. 


Woosh – 


The air fell silent. 


An intense pressure like a mountain pressed down on the air above them. 


“White Iris, I know that you have never liked me, but since you said that you will follow me, you have to coordinate with me more and not create trouble. This is my last warning. It is fine if you spoil my plans, but no one can save you if you ruin Rourou’s plan.”


White Iris’ eyes lit up, “All this is part of the lady’s plan?”


Qin Yu nodded. 


White Iris replied, “Great! I will not create trouble and will do my best to help the lady.”


She was slightly delighted. 


Finally, I can take part in the lady’s plan. 


Waving his hand, Qin Yu shooed White Iris off before he rubbed his eyebrows. Alas, the best way to deal with White Iris was to mention Rourou. He had temporarily stabilized the problem. Now, he had to properly investigate what his relationship with Number 327 was.


……


“Number 327.”


“Please give me your instructions, Clan Leader.”


“From today onwards, you will follow Qin Yu and monitor his every move. If there is anything off, you are to report back to me.”


“Yes.”


It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "novelbuddy.com".


She turned and left. Number 327’s face was pale after just waking up. Now that her identity had been revealed, there was no need for a disguise and she changed into a clean long skirt. 


Qin Yu…


Number 327 bit her lip. 


It has now been confirmed that the Sect Master of the Opening Heavens Sword Sect had the Great Dao of Sky Falling Mountain. 


But why was that so?


Back in Sky Falling Mountain, she had clearly gotten control of half of the Great Dao and was able to control it. 


Taking a deep breath, she suppressed her thoughts as she turned and left. 


Very soon, she appeared in a courtyard beside the governor mansion. She knocked on the door. 


“Come in.”


A calm voice could be heard as the door opened. 


Number 327 walked in and saw Qin Yu sitting in the courtyard. 


Her eyes hardened slightly as she stepped forwards and bowed, “Greetings, Exalted One Qin.”


Qin Yu nodded, “Number 327, has the leader talked to you? From today, you will cultivate with me.”


“Yes, if you need anything, please feel free to instruct me.” Number 327 spoke politely. 


Qin Yu replied, “Not for now. After the ceremony ends in three days, I will return to Swallow Mountain. You can go back first to prepare.”


He would not investigate her identity now, otherwise it would easily alarm that clan. 


Number 327 bowed and left. 


Qin Yu let out a breath and frowned slightly. Something was different when they met this time. 


Perhaps it was because his realm had increased and he could sense more clearly. 


It seemed like his relationship with Number 327 was more than one of blood. 


Who exactly was she?


On the other side, Number 327 looked thoughtful as she left. 


For no reason, she could sense a closeness to Qin Yu. 


Could it be because of Sky Falling Mountain’s Great Dao?


……


Three days later, that clan organized a huge ceremony to announce to the world that the Opening Heavens Sword Sect’s Sect Master Qin Yu had become the clan’s Exalted One. 


As soon as the news was announced, everyone who was watching Long Mountain Area instantly understood that the horrifying sword aura released a few days earlier had belonged to Qin Yu. 


The power of that sword demonstrated everything...the world’s first Half-King swordsman was born!


Opening Heavens Sword Sect’s Sect Master Qin Yu became famous in a day. The impact of this news even overtook the shock when everyone found out who had gotten Sky Falling Mountain’s Great Dao. 


Though there were few True Kings in this world, they were just above the clouds. 


And as the only Half-King swordsman who crossed the Celestial Threshold, he broke through the shackles that had been holding swordsmen back!


There was now a King realm swordsman. 


All the swordsmen in the world became earnest!


There were already several swordsmen that had rushed to Swallow Mountain and requested to see the Opening Heavens Sword Sect’s Sect Master respectfully. 


At this moment, Qin Yu took his leave from that clan. 


Being that clan’s Exalted One did not mean that he had to stay here. The clan leader also had a place where he isolated to cultivate and did not always stay in Long Mountain Area. 


After all, no matter how big the world was, a single thought was all it needed. Distance was not an issue to those in the King realm. 


The clan leader smiled and nodded, “Sect Master Qin, you will be returning home gloriously. I have already informed people to help the Opening Heavens Sword so that you will be able to achieve your goal of unifying Swallow Mountain as soon as possible.”


“Thank you Clan Leader, goodbye.”


Qin Yu took a step out and a gigantic torrent sword appeared. Number 327 and White Iris were picked up as they flew into the sky. 


They disappeared in an instant!


True King Qiongji was expressionless, “Clan Leader, please keep my connection with Sect Master Qin a secret.”


That clan’s leader replied, “Don’t worry, I will not ruin my own foundation.”


Half-King Qin Yu was qualified to become that clan’s Exalted One and help him stabilize the situation. But what if the Thirteenth Floor found out that Qin Yu was secretly controlling True King Qiongji? It was obvious that they would not let it be. 


This was a huge strike!


With this card, Qin Yu would forever be that clan’s Exalted One. 


The three hundred years timeframe? It did not exist!


And this was the reason why the clan leader was willing to believe in Qin Yu. 


To give someone a hold over yourself…


But he did not know that to Qin Yu, this hold was nothing. 


Because the Thirteenth Floor was still from the human clan and was Qin Yu’s enemy. Once his identity as the Barbarian King was exposed, they would fight until only one of them remained. 


And this would happen within thirty years. 


“Hmph!”


True King Qiongji understood what he meant and his eyes turned icy, “There are some things that you should not think too highly of. I am not your Exalted One!”


Woosh –


He disappeared.


That clan’s leader smiled softly. He did not care about being threatened. 


True King Qiongji appeared to be tough and that meant he was panicking inside. As long as Qin Yu controlled him…that clan would be able to benefit from it. 


Of course, this had to be kept a secret. 


He would also not be able to withstand the anger of the Thirteenth Floor.


In the shadow of the torrent sword, Qin Yu turned to look at the side. 


In the next moment, True King Qiongji appeared smiling. 


Qin Yu waved his sleeve and the sword shadow split into two, sending Number 327 and White Iris to the other side. 


True King Qiongji stepped forwards and chuckled bitterly, “Thank you Sect Master Qin Yu for preserving my reputation.”


Qin Yu replied, “True King Qiongji, there is no need to look so miserable in front of me. Back then, you colluded with Heavenlifting to try and kill me. You got what you deserve today. Do you think I will let bygones be bygones just because you’ve helped me a little?”


True King Qiongji chuckled bitterly and disappeared for a moment, “Sect Master Qin, you are right. I will pay for my mistake, but I am still a True King from the Thirteenth Floor. Once this is exposed, the Opening Heavens Sword Sect will be in trouble.”


“So what?”


With two words, he caused True King Qiongji to have cold sweat on his back. 


Qin Yu was expressionless, “Since I am able to lay down all past grudges and become the Exalted One of that clan, I will not care about the Opening Heavens Sword Sect. At most, I will just change my appearance and live another life…do you think that the Thirteenth Floor will accept the help of a new Half-King swordsman or continue to persist in taking revenge for a dead True King?”


True King Qiongji was thoroughly broken as he paled. The murderous intent behind Qin Yu’s words was immense.


Since Qin Yu was able to hide his identity and enter Sky Falling Mountain, it means that he was able to hide his aura. 


Such that even True Kings would not be able to detect!


Moreover, his powers had increased. His ability to hide his aura would improve as well. 


And as long as they could put aside their pride, the Thirteenth Floor would not mind having a ‘second’ Half-King swordsman join them. 


They could even pretend to ‘hunt and kill’ Qin Yu from the Opening Heavens Sword Sect.


Taking a deep breath, True King Qiongji grimaced, “Sect Master Qin, since you are able to see through everything, I have nothing else to say. Just tell me what you intend to do next.


“But there is one thing that I have to remind you of, Sect Master Qin. I am ultimately still a True King…if you think that you can control and order me around, then you are wrong. A True King cannot be disregarded!”


He looked extremely determined as he spoke the last sentence!


This was the bottom line and pride for someone of the True King realm. 


Qin Yu looked at him and said, “True King Qiongji, you are thinking too much. I don’t have that kind of thought. We are both benefiting from our collaboration and will not need to go as far as to destroy each other.”


He lifted his hand, “Firstly, regarding my secret. Please help me keep it a secret.


“Secondly, the Boundary Ring is with me and it belongs to the Opening Heavens Sword Sect now and cannot be returned to the Thirteenth Floor.


“Thirdly, I hope that I can get your help one more time…this time, I will not make you do anything beyond your means.”


True King Qiongji’s eyes lit up, “Just these?”


Qin Yu nodded, “That’s right. As long as you swear on your Great Dao to fulfill these three requests, I will also swear that once it is all completed, I will remove that problem in your body and set you free.”


“Okay!”


A moment later, the both of them swore and True King Qiongji took his leave. 


Although things were not completely settled and there were some ends to tidy up, everything went better than he had expected. 


The only thing that troubled him was how to explain the problem with the Boundary Ring. This treasure had been personally given to him by the Floor Master!


Qin Yu looked calm as he watched True King Qiongji leave. He could sense the energy left behind by the little blue lamp lurking around True King Qiongji.


But if he could refrain from using this energy, it would be for the best. 


If not, he might very well give a signal to the fragment user who had crossed worlds and cause him to arrive faster. 


That would be a true disaster!


Just looking at Rourou, it was obvious how scary Longevity Species could be. Moreover, the power that Rourou has been demonstrating in front of Qin Yu was not even half of her actual powers. It might even be less than half. 


He could not be afraid!


So Qin Yu was willing to loosen the grip and choose to deal with True King Qiongji in a more amicable manner such that they both got what they wanted. 


Calming himself, Qin Yu waved his sleeve and the two swords merged again. 


White Iris was expressionless. 


Number 327 was calm as well. 


Qin Yu glanced at them and decided that he did not need to explain anything. 


Boom –


The sword suddenly sped up!


On this day, numerous cultivators in the Central Desolate Divine Area looked up and could see a horrifying sword shadow flying across the sky. 


The aura left behind by the torrent sword was like a sweeping wave, and even though the cultivators were far away, they felt a chill. 


Many swordsmen looked extremely moved and some were already crying as they watched this. Rumors were just rumors and today they were finally able to personally witness the enormous power of a King realm swordsman. 


There is finally a King realm swordsman in my generation!


Even more people made their way to Swallow Mountain. Swordsmen only made up a portion of them. 


Swordsmen could fight above their rank. A Half-King swordsman’s battle prowess was comparable to that of a True King. 


Any True King in this world was able to influence the distribution of benefits in the world. 


Even the Qin Empire had to acknowledge this.
