Chapter 503 - The demon spider curse

Translator: Aran

“What? A Greater One Sect disciple wants to see me?”

Ye Qingyu was a little surprised.

“Yes, a Greater One Sect disciple called Lin Yi wishes to see you. He says he has important information to report to Palace Lord Ye. Other people have asked him, but he refused to say what it is,” Lin Zheng said with a smile. “It seems you have proved yourself to these arrogant and proud boys through that battle, now it seems they only recognize you.”

“Only recognize me?” Ye Qingyu laughed. “It most likely won’t be for any good reason.”

Lin Zheng also laughed, “These disciples are, although arrogant and have shallow experience, not stupid people. They have just experienced too little. After being locked up for a few days, someone thinks they are smart and most likely have the intention of stirring trouble between us. To use this trick on me is nothing but wishful thinking.”

Ye Qingyu asked, “Lin Yi is that young and tall Greater One Sect disciple?”

“Yes, that’s him. These Greater One Sect disciples are all pretty young, around twenty or thirty years old. They possess such cultivation base at such a young age, it is evident that the standard of martial arts in Clear River Domain is much higher than Heaven Wasteland Domain. That Lin Yi is 41 years old and is a senior brother of Greater One Sect. He is not the strongest, but he thinks thoroughly. He was the one who asked to see you.”

“Then let’s see him, see what he has to say.” Ye Qingyu also looked forward to meeting this Greater One Sect disciple.

……

Half an hour later.

Ye Qingyu’s face gradually grew serious.

“You mean, while training in the Clear River Domain’s Heavenly Gate test, you guys killed a prince of the Demon Spider Race, who was also the most outstanding genius of the Demon Spider Race in the past hundred years and a successor candidate that the Demon Spider Race focused on cultivating for years? As a result, you were desperately chased, and mistakenly entered into the space-time cracks and came to Heaven Wasteland Domain? And those experts of the Demon Spider Race planted a curse on your body, so sooner or later they would come to Heaven Wasteland Domain?”

Ye Qingyu asked.

The Greater One Sect disciple called Lin Yi repeatedly nodded.

“Yes, that is right, the Demon Spider Race is descended from the ancient Demon Race. It is ferocious and cruel, and feeds on humans. The young Prince is also well-known to be brutal and had once swallowed hundreds of people. Our Greater One Sect had long wanted to get rid of it. We finally found the opportunity during the Heavenly gGte training test...”

Ye Qingyu raised his hand, motioning Lin Yi to stop for now.

Then, after a pause, he asked, “Forgive me for being so blunt, if the blood-Prince, really was a genius of the Demon Spider Race seen in a hundred years, you people would be no match for him. It wouldn’t be so easy for you to kill him. Do you want to tell me that you used some sort of secret technique or secret treasure.”

Lin Yi’s face assumed an awkward expression as he tried to explain, “Of course not... But the Prince of the Demon Spider Race was too arrogant. During the Heavenly Gate training he unexpectedly challenged a fully grown blood vine to capture the natural endowment bone formation of the blood vine. In the end both sides suffered, and even though he had the remarkable skills of the Demon Spider Race and eventually killed the blood vine, unfortunately he had also sustained heavy injury. And just then we passed by, so..."

Ye Qingyu nodded, “Oh, I understand, taking advantage of another’s perilous state.”

Lin Yi looked more awkward than before, stammering, “This... this is considered taking advantage of another person’s perilous state, but those who are not our race are sure to be of a different heart. The Demon Spider Race is a huge worry of the Clear River Domain, pressuring all major sects to the point of almost being unable to breath. The Prince is also known to be brutal and ruthless, especially towards the Human Race. If he was in charge of the Demon Spider Race in the future, then our Human Race would be in danger of being destroyed, so... so after much consideration, we decided that we would rather bear the infamy of taking advantage of another person’s perilous state, and kill that guy.”

Ye Qingyu nodded, and decided not to comment this time.

Noticing that Ye Qingyu’s expression had not changed, Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

He added, “Even so, more than 50 brothers who participated in the training also paid a disastrous price. 22 people were killed on the spot. The rest who were wounded, while fleeing from danger, were killed one by one in order to cover us. We were chased by the members of the Demon Spider Race that received the news, and with no other option we charged into the space-time crack to take a chance. There were only just over 10 of us left when we escaped to your domain.”

“And what are you trying to tell me?” Ye Qingyu asked.

Lin Yi gritted his teeth and pushed up his sleeve, revealing a scarlet spider mark on his huge arm. At first glance it looked as though a blood spider was lying on his arm, vivid and realistic, sucking his blood and essence.

“This is the curse mark of the Demon Spider Race. Yesterday, it was still very blurry, today it had already changed shape.” There was a look of fear flashing within Lin Yi’s eyes. “This shows that the experts of the Demon Spider Race had found the coordinates of your domain, they would soon arrive. If they intrude your domain, it would surely be a disaster. Your Human Race empire is nothing but a lush and sweet pasture to them. In their eyes, you are only food. Once their experts descend none of you can withstand their wrath!”

Ye Qingyu’s eyes were fixed on the bright blood-coloured spider mark, in no hurry to make his position clear.

The blood red spider mark was containing a mysterious and strange secret.

Its aura was indeed completely different to the aura of Lin Yi’s cultivation skills. There was an extremely evil and bloody fluctuation of force on careful examination. It was undoubtedly a demonic object, and not a facade that Lin Yi constructed with his own cultivation techniques.

Ye Qingyu thought it over, then slightly flicked his fingers.

A gust of sword intent shot past.

Swoosh.

The spider mark was wiped away and destroyed, and the colour of flesh was spreading across his arm at once.

Lin Yi groaned, soybean-sized sweat forming on his forehead and rolling down. He was evidently in pain, but did not scream in pain or struggle at all.

That blood and qi expanded into a six-foot blood red spider image in the air, producing a shrill screech, bared its sharp fangs and pounced at Ye Qingyu at lightning speed.

“Be careful, that is the power of the curse of the Demon Spider Race. Once it comes into contact with the body, you can’t remove it...” Lin Yi reminded loudly.

Ye Qingyu stretched out his five fingers and held the blood red spider image within the grasp of his hand’s vice-like grip, while activating [Supreme Ice Flame], and in the midst of a barely audible scream of a demon king-like voice, he easily refined it.

A look of astonishment crossed Lin Yi’s face at once, “You... can dispel the force of the demon spider curse, you... ah, yes, that day you could dispel junior brother fan’s [Decaying Qi]. You must possess some sort of secret treasure... can you...”

Ye Qingyu interrupted him with no trace of politeness, “You want me to help you remove the demon spider curse? You really are asking too much, let alone that my strength is not enough and cannot refine such a strong curse, even if I could why should I help you?”

Lin Yi’s face darkened.

With a wry smile, he replied, “Little brother, I can understand why you are hostile to us, after what we have done. On behalf of my other brothers I apologize to you, but we are all part of the Human Race, can we not put this behind us?”

Ye Qingyu’s face was icy cold as he said, “Stop, don’t try to establish connections for the sake of personal gain, how would I know whether or not what you just said is true?”

Lin Yi anxiously cried out, “You have to believe me, every word that I say is true, that old man called Lin Zheng has been questioning us every day, you can go ask him.”

“Since Minister Lin Zheng interrogated you, why did you not tell him instead, but came to tell me these things?” Ye Qingyu asked, his eyes narrowing.

Lin Yi’s face suddenly radiated off an air of arrogance.

He stood his body up straight as he began to explain, “I admit that minister Lin Zheng’s strategy is very powerful, pierces right at people’s heart, and nothing could be hidden from his eyes and mind, but so what? In this world, where the strongest is the leader, no matter how powerful his calculating strategy is, he at best would only take on a counsellor role in military strategy. He cannot really become a martial arts leader. He is too inferior to show in public, and in this domain, from the people that we have seen, only little brother you have cultivated your techniques to the peak. Even in Clear River Domain, you would rarely find a worthy match. Our Greater One Sect is an ancient sect, and our disciples all have pride and dignity, even if we surrender it would only be to real martial arts experts and not to some sort of advisor.”

Ye Qingyu’s face was void of expression when he heard this.

But in his heart, Demon King Ye was secretly laughing.

Disciples of Greater One Sect have dignity and pride?

Nonsense, where did they practice such amazing boot-licking skills?

Lin Yi hurriedly continued, “Little brother, there is not much time, in less than two days, the experts of the Demon Spider Race would really descend. If you do not prepare in time, it would certainly be a crushing defeat for you, a bloodbath, and your domain would become scorched soil. My brothers also can’t escape death...”

“Oh, you’re afraid to die, so you told us that much, right?” Ye Qingyu shot a glance at him.

Lin Yi repeatedly nodded, like a chicken pecking grains. “That is right, if the Demon Spider Race descends into this domain, everything is over. You and I are in the same boat, so I had to speak out the whole truth.”

Ye Qingyu’s expression turned grave, fear in his eyes, as he began to believe him a little.

“All of you have been cursed by the Demon Spider Race’s curse?” Ye Qingyu asked.

Lin Yi nodded.

Ye Qingyu waved his hand, motioning Gao Han to come over, whispered something to his ears, and Gao Han went off.

“How can you prove these words are true?” Although Ye Qingyu already more or less believed him, he decided to squeeze out all the information that this Greater One Sect disciple knew.

Lin Yi stared blankly at him then answered, “I... everything I said is the truth, you can go ask another brother, our words will match.”

Ye Qingyu laughed grimly and did not say anything.

Lin Yi had an anxious look, his eyes flashing with all sorts of colour, and his complexion was repeatedly changing, until he finally clenched his teeth, as though he had made some sort of decision and said, “Little brother, I have something in my hands that can prove what I just said. I can also give this thing to you, but you must believe me...”
