Chapter 258: Chapter 258: A Huge Catastrophe

The elderly man playing with the white pieces was dressed in a light blue robe, his long hair draped behind his head, and with a snap, a white piece landed on the chessboard.

"You lost!"

The other elderly man, wearing a gray long gown, also had his long hair draped behind his head. He looked at the chessboard, then picked up the white piece he had just placed, "This doesn’t count, I wasn’t paying attention just now."

The man in the blue robe replied calmly, "Once placed, the piece can’t be taken back!"

The man in the gray robe threw all the dozens of pieces in his hand onto the board, creating chaos in the board’s arrangement, and said unhappily, "Really, you never know how to let me win a bit."

The man in the blue robe looked at the disarrayed chessboard, and said slowly, "One’s chess style reflects one’s character."

"You are the one with the character problem, stop insulting me indirectly here."

Saying this, the man in the gray robe picked up the teacup beside him. The tea had cooled down, but a white glow rose from his palm, heating the tea back up, and he took a sip.

"This Dragon Mountain Cloud Snow Tea is really not bad, bring me a few pounds when you return."

The man in the blue robe looked at him, "This Cloud Snow Tea produces less than a pound a year, and you want a few pounds?"

"You’re really stingy, miserly. Didn’t I bring you a gift when I came?"

The blue-robed elder’s mouth twitched a few times, "Are you referring to those discounted apples?"

"What discount? That was a big promotion at the supermarket."

The blue-robed elder: "..."

"By the way, old Dragon, do you really think so highly of that kid Qin Yi? You even gave out the Azure Dragon Token."

The elderly man in the blue robe was indeed the god in the hearts of all the Guardians, the Azure Dragon Guardian God.

Azure Dragon nodded slightly, without much explanation.

And sitting opposite Azure Dragon was the largest Guardian God in the North, Xuanwu.

Xuanwu grinned and said, "I only think that kid is average. Aren’t there plenty of people like that? I really don’t know why you’re so attached to him?"

Azure Dragon was collecting the pieces from the board one by one, and said softly, "He wasn’t chosen by me, but deduced by the Heavenly Mechanism Evolution Technique."

Crack, Xuanwu was so excited that he bit a chunk off the teacup.

Azure Dragon looked painfully at the teacup with an additional notch, it was a Dragon Cup, with only four in total, very precious, and now there were only three left.

"Uh..." Xuanwu felt a bit embarrassed, knowing how much Azure Dragon treasured this cup, and chuckled awkwardly, "Sorry, got a bit excited."

"Old Dragon, why would you use the Heavenly Mechanism Evolution Technique out of the blue?"

The Heavenly Mechanism Evolution Technique can understand the yin and yang, differentiate the heavenly mechanism. But the price for each use is enormous, even at their level, it exhausts ten years of cultivation each time it’s used.

Azure Dragon continued to meticulously tidy up the pieces on the board, speaking indifferently, "The world has changed, didn’t you feel it?"

Changed?

Xuanwu looked up, the sky was clear.

Azure Dragon glanced at him disdainfully, "I’m talking about the Heavenly Pit."

Xuanwu’s expression suddenly turned serious, speaking gravely, "I felt it too, those creatures don’t belong to Earth, they seem to come from another dimension."

"That can’t be right, what does this have to do with you using the Heavenly Mechanism Evolution Technique?"

Azure Dragon’s expression was grave, "I deduced that humanity faces a catastrophe. And the person who can stop this disaster is Qin Yi."

"What did you say?" Xuanwu was utterly shocked, and with a crack, the chipped teacup in his hand shattered completely.

Azure Dragon’s mouth twitched a few times, "So old, yet still so impulsive."

"Stop with the nonsense. The Heavenly Mechanism Evolution Technique can’t be wrong, right? A catastrophe, just relying on that kid? Besides being ruthless and vengeful, I really don’t see anything special about him."

Azure Dragon chuckled, "Aren’t those traits enough? Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures, using violence to curb violence is the way. Apart from the White Tiger, have you seen anyone more ruthless than that kid?"

Xuanwu fell silent, "That’s true. This kid has a heavy killing intent, anyone who offends him almost never survives. He directly wiped out the Diao Family."

Azure Dragon spoke coldly, "The Diao Family was long unfit for that position."

"Let’s not talk about the Diao Family. Old Dragon, tell me, what did you see when you used the Heavenly Mechanism Evolution Technique?"

Azure Dragon paused his hand, speaking in a grave tone, "The sun and moon reversed, the stars shifted, mountains and rivers shattered, the Blood Sea Roared, corpses piled like mountains."

Xuanwu was completely stunned, and after a long while, swallowed his saliva, "Old Dragon, what you mentioned isn’t a catastrophe, it’s the apocalypse."

Azure Dragon’s expression was solemn, "Indeed, you could say that."

"Then what’s with Qin Yi?"

Azure Dragon contemplated for a moment, "I saw him reversing the universe, setting things right, and restoring mountains and rivers."

Xuanwu opened his mouth but said nothing.

Azure Dragon lowered his head slightly. In fact, he hadn’t been entirely truthful; he saw more in the Heavenly Mechanism Evolution Technique. He saw two Qin Yis, one reversing the universe, the other walking over a sea of blood and a mountain of corpses. He still couldn’t comprehend what it truly meant.

"No." Xuanwu suddenly jumped up, "I have to tell them, don’t let them kill Qin Yi. Although I don’t quite believe this kid can reverse the situation and overcome the odds, it’s better than nothing. I am still willing to trust the Heavenly Mechanism Evolution Technique, lest I let down your ten years of cultivation you’ve lost."

"It’s actually fifty years of cultivation, and an additional ten years of life."

Xuanwu’s eyeballs almost popped out in disbelief at Azure Dragon.

Azure Dragon smiled faintly, "Ten years of cultivation couldn’t produce anything. I exhausted fifty years of cultivation and ten years of life just to barely glimpse a picture. Thus, I trust this deduction’s result even more."

"You’re a madman." Xuanwu was stupefied, "I’ll immediately notify my subordinates not to make things difficult for Qin Yi."

"Forget it, those few clowns under your command couldn’t hold Qin Yi back even if they tried."

Xuanwu glared, "Old Dragon, are you looking down on my Black Tortoise Envoys?"

"Unless you dispatch your direct disciples, otherwise, trying to capture Qin Yi with anyone else is mere wishful thinking! If Qin Yi could be caught so easily by your people, then wouldn’t my fifty years of cultivation and ten years of life be wasted?"

Xuanwu spat, "Underestimating my men will cost you dearly. For all you know, that kid has already been caught and beaten up."

Azure Dragon smiled, noncommittal!

Xuanwu was furious and shouted, "Someone come here."

In a flash before his eyes, a person suddenly appeared beside Xuanwu, a man over sixty, bowing respectfully, "Master, what are your instructions?"

"Send my order down, instruct those brats below that when they catch Qin Yi, they should take it easy, don’t kill him."

This newly appeared person had a strange expression.

"Master, Qin Yi is already near Yinfeng City."

"Hmm?" Xuanwu raised an eyebrow, his expression displeased.

Xuanwu’s disciple recounted the events precisely.

"Master, all this was seen personally by Third Senior Brother. Without your order, he didn’t dare act on his own to detain Qin Yi."

Azure Dragon couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter.

Xuanwu’s old face turned black as the bottom of a pot, suddenly jumping up to punch and kick the disciple beside him, "Stupid, fool, how can there be such stupid people, deceived into begging for a beating with just a few words, truly losing face."

"You idiot too, why tell such embarrassing matters in front of old Dragon, inviting him to mock me?"

Xuanwu’s disciple, also in his sixties now, a person who would be a grandfather in an ordinary family, ended up cowering under Xuanwu’s blows.
