Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 1522B – The Disturbance in the Deep Mine

“Rise.” Qin Yu glanced at Hundred Saint’s pale expression and he knew that Hundred Saint was stunned. He had to step forward himself.

“I am Ning Qin and I was granted the title of General Jinwu by His Majesty. Under the command of the Grand Marshal, I am here to defend the mine and prevent the Barbarian Clan from sneaking an attack upon us.”

“Therefore…” Qin Yu stepped forward. The ground below him cracked and he stated, “This place is under my command from now on.”

Boom –

A powerful aura burst from his body. It was as strong as a mountain and it crushed the surroundings.

Back in the West Border camp, Qin Yu was restricted and he could only endure grievances.

However, once he was in the mine, he could not be bothered to waste time in this chaotic place.

There was no need for schemes and planning and he did not bother with gaining the loyalty of these half human barbarians.

Suppressing them and gaining their respect and submission was sufficient.

There was a moment of silence. The man whose head was covered with scales was the first to kneel down.

Thump thump thump –

Everyone kneeled down.

In the forbidden mine, darkness and cruelty went beyond one’s imagination. Men who could withstand the hardship and gain power were extraordinary in strength and schemes.

Despite that, these men could only go submit to Qin Yu.

Because he was strong enough!

Furthermore, the aura that Qin Yu let out made them fearful.

It felt like he was a Ruler who could easily decide their lives. A single thought from him would throw them into eternal doom!

In fact, these men made the correct judgment. Because they had the Barbarian Curse, they could sense the aura from the lantern.

As such, Qin Yu could use the lantern to control the Barbarian Curse in their bodies. He could destroy their lives.

……

“Lord Black Scales, are we submitting like this?” Aside from her rough skin that gave away the fact that she was half human barbarian, this lady had an enchanting figure.

“Snake Lady, he is very strong. I am not confident.” Black Scales slowly muttered; his opinion was obvious.

Snake Lady cried, “The mine is ours. He is an outsider who took control immediately, I am not satisfied!”

Black Scales glanced at her, “If you are not satisfied, think of a way to fix it yourself. I am tired.”

Snake Lady gritted her teeth and she swished around angrily, “Black Scales, once you have thought it through, find me in the snake cave.”

“Hmmph!”

Black Scales coldly grunted and his eyes turned dark, “Snake Lady you bitch, you are trying to provoke me to challange General Jinwu directly. You are sending me to my death so that you can reap the benefits.”

“General, Snake Lady is vicious but the mine should be under your control. Are you really going to give it away?” One of his underlings questioned in annoyance.

Black Scales scoffed, “General Jinwu is very strong and I cannot take him on. Since he wants control, I can only give it up to him. But this is not the end of the mine. Even if he has the power, if he cannot run it, he will face trouble!”

“General, are you referring to the sinners below?”

“Hurry, go and tell them that the mine’s manager has changed. If they don’t want to be replaced, they should know what to do.” Black Scales’ eyes sparkled brilliantly.

Although General Jinwu was strong, this mine consumed people!

……

In the West Border camp, Wu Tongtian stared at the weak, powerless lady in front of him, “Rourou, I have informed Night Demon Sect Master. He will arrive soon and take you back to the Demon Sect.”

“No, I want to go to the mine.” Rourou was a name that rolled off the tongue easily. At that moment, she wore a determined look on her face.

Her face flushed and she bit her lip, “I…I am already his woman…I want to be with him…”

This reason was good enough.

Wu Tongtian’s frown etched deeper, “The mine is no ordinary place. Have you thought through it clearly?”

Rourou nodded her head firmly, “I want to go there!”

Wu Tongtian waved his hand, “Since that is the case, do not blame me.”

As the leader of the sects, the Demon Sect may not have a cultivator in the King realm but it was not to be underestimated.

Wu Tongtian was the Grand Marshal of the border army and he wanted to curry favor with the sect. However, since she was not appreciative, he did not need to remain obsessed with it.

As he thought about the mine and Qin Yu, there was a moment of hesitation in Wu Tongtian’s eyes.

He had a feeling that things were not that simple.

However, the Barbarian Curse was made by the Grand Shaman with the lives of a hundred thousand souls and his own life.

Not even a King realm cultivator would be able to resolve it. What could Ning Qin do?

……

The Barbarian Curse was obviously useless against a barbarian.

Furthermore, as the new Barbarian King, Qin Yu actually felt more comforted with it and he felt empowered.

The mine was considered a terrifying forbidden ground for a regular cultivator from the West Desolate.

However, for the Barbarian Clan, this was a sacred place for cultivation that they could use to speed up their growth.

Opening his eyes, Qin Yu let out a sigh of relief and his eyes shone brightly.

He could feel a strange disturbance deep in the mine.

This disturbance seemed to have sensed his presence too.

It was summoning him…no, more accurately, it was making an enthusiastic call for him.

Qin Yu did not sense evil from it. He thought about the Barbarian Clan and that scary Grand Shaman from the past. It might not be related to him.

It seemed that he had to find an opportunity to investigate the deep part of the mine.

Right now, he had to take care of a small matter in case his men fell deeper into depression.

Thinking carefully, Qin Yu instructed, “Call Hundred Saint over.”

After suppressing the half human barbarians, Qin Yu arranged a living location for himself. The mine was plain and simple but those in power could still enjoy some luxury. At least, this involved a residence that was constructed out of countless gems underground.

“General, you called for me.” Hundred Saint briskly walked over and bowed.

He tried his best to maintain a calm expression but there was a pang of bitterness in his eyes.

Qin Yu glanced at him and flipped over his palm, revealing a pill. He said, “This elixir can suppress the transformation in your body. It will stop the curse from affecting you for a short period of time.”

Hundred Saint shook his head vigorously and stared at the elixir with wide eyes. He was filled with disbelief but also joy.

He gulped down the elixir impatiently and sat down. Closing his eyes, he felt the changes in his body.

As a warm wave passed through him, he felt like the terrifying changes to his body had suddenly disappeared.

He…was pure again!

Ss –

Hundred Saint’s eyes flung open and he smiled, “Brother Ning Qin, I knew that you would have a way out. You will not be victimized by others so easily!”

Qin Yu smiled, “I feel like you have been cursing me in your heart numerous times the past two days.”

He had been exposed and he could only smile awkwardly.

Qin Yu could not be bothered to argue with him. He retrieved another elixir and instructed, “Give this to Ironstone. Otherwise, I will truly be worried that his tears will flood my residence.”

The burly young man, Ironstone, was such a pitiful sight when he cried.

Hundred Saint grabbed the elixir and his face twitched, “General…this…”

In his opinion, an elixir that could suppress their transformation from the Barbarian Curse was invaluable.

Although he ate one already, what if the elixir was ineffective?

Qin Yu instantly saw through him. He frowned, “Do what I asked you to. I still have elixirs, but do keep this as a secret among us three.”

His eyes flashed and he said, “Tell Ironstone that if he reveals anything, I will send him to do labor in the mines.”

“General, please rest assured.” Hundred Saint walked out.

He was confident that Ironstone would be tight-lipped.

After all, the elixir that could temporarily suppress their body transformation from the Barbarian Curse was in Qin Yu’s hands.

Offending him would bring terrible consequences.

As long as there was still hope in Ironstone’s heart, he should know what to do.

The elixir was actually just an ordinary spirit pill to recover strength for a cultivator. However, Qin Yu placed some aura from the lantern in it and that was why it was effective.

With the aura protecting them, Hundred Saint and Ironstone would be safe as long as Qin Yu did not retrieve the aura.

He had to think broadly. He could not survive in the military by himself.

Qin Yu needed supporters.

Hundred Saint was one and he was putting Ironstone on probation now. Because Ironstone had been cast aside to the mines, he would be abandoned by the marshal tent.

If this lad obeyed him well, he would be treated well. Otherwise, Qin Yu would find a hundred ways to kill him!
