Chapter 254: Chapter 66: Schemes and Conclusion (Extra Daily Update)

Qingxu instinctively fled, and Qing Yu had no intention of chasing him to fight a battle where either you die, or I live.

Who knew whether Qingxu still had something to save his life? It was probably because he nearly got killed last time that Qingxu, or perhaps the higher-ups of Zhenwu Sect, were so worried they ensured Qingxu, upon advancing to the Divine Origin Realm, was provided with a life-saving treasure even though he had transcended the younger generation.

Keep in mind, Qingxu didn’t have this item when he was still in the Innate Realm! Otherwise, Qingzhou wouldn’t have had to take a blade for him.

Moreover, not pursuing him had another purpose. That was because the threat at the scene was not just Qingxu. If Qing Yu showed even a slight hint of weakness, the surrounding wolves would fiercely pounce on him, gnawing at Qing Yu’s flesh and blood.

Just like,

This······

When Qing Yu saw Qingxu flee in a sorry state, he seemed to finally let out a sigh of relief, his body going limp as if he were going to collapse onto the lake.

At that moment, a dark shadow appeared beside Qing Yu and reached out, snatching the "Secret Volume of Heaven Calculation" tucked at his waist. At the same time, a silent black palm print aimed at the heart on Qing Yu’s back, intending to eliminate the threat that had just defeated someone of the Divine Origin Realm.

"How dare you!"

Sword Qi crisscrossed, splitting the lake with a clean fissure wherever it passed. Yuan Jianyi saw someone attempting to strike Qing Yu and immediately sent out Sword Qi to assist.

However, the supporting Sword Qi became sluggish and slow under the effect of an inexplicably appearing Yin Qi. Then, a woman in a white palace dress broke the congealed Sword Qi with a move called "Taiyin Qi Gathering."

Yun Wuyue stepped lightly over the waves, placing herself between Yuan Jianyi and Qing Yu.

At that moment, as the Illusionary Heavenly Demon Hand was about to stamp onto Qing Yu’s back, it was blocked by a sudden slanting counter-slash from the "Eternal Brightness."

The "Eternal Brightness" did not stop, swift as lightning, instantly splitting the "Secret Volume of Heaven Calculation," which the Demon Young Master had just gotten his hands on, into two pieces.

"Damnation!"

The slightly thicker half flew from the Demon Young Master’s grasp who cursed loudly. The Illusionary Heavenly Demon Hand morphed into thousands of seemingly real and elusive hand shadows, reaching for the part of the manual floating in the air.

Just as the manual appeared to be within reach, a fair and slender hand grabbed the manual in advance. Then, dodging the real and avoiding the fake, it successfully escaped from the Demon Young Master’s illusion-like Illusionary Heavenly Demon Hand.

Naturally, the Demon Young Master wouldn’t let it go and pursued relentlessly with his demonic hand.

But an unadorned and plain longsword terminated his pursuit.

"Eternal Brightness" disregarded the illusions, aiming solely for the solid form, and despite the Demon Young Master’s many attempts to dodge, his wrist still ended up with a sword cut, preventing him from exerting strength.

"How could you possibly see through my Illusionary Heavenly Demon Hand?" The Demon Young Master stepped sideways on the lake surface, the erupting Qi force blasting the lake open to gain distance while he asked Qing Yu with a mix of shock and uncertainty.

"Heh heh."

Qing Yu simply smiled lightly without answering.

As if, Qiao Baixuan could discern the real and fake of the Illusionary Heavenly Demon Hand, Qing Yu’s eyesight was not inferior to Qiao Baixuan’s, how could he possibly fail to see?

A sudden surge of momentum, although brief in time, the restored True Qi was already sufficient to continue the battle.

Qing Yu, with a sword finger at the Demon Young Master, said, "Hand over the ’Secret Volume of Heaven Calculation.’"

"The ’Secret Volume of Heaven Calculation’?" The Demon Young Master looked at the part of the manual he was holding, fully aware of the inheritance of Elder Suan Tian. He knew that the "Secret Volume of Heaven Calculation" was divided into two separate manuals, "Heavenly Calculation" and "Geodetic." The value of the ’Secret Volume of Heaven Calculation,’ containing the Heavenly Mechanism Divination Skill, was undoubtedly much higher than the ’Geodetic Secret Manual’ which detailed Geomancy Inspection.

Those from the worldly society knew only of "Heavenly Calculation" and not of "Geodetic," coming purely for the divination skill.

So, was this a stroke of great luck?

The Demon Young Master looked at the cover in his hand embroidered with the four golden characters "Heavenly Calculation and Earthly Measurement" and thought in astonishment,

Although the last few pages were missing, the "Secret Volume of Heaven Calculation" was undoubtedly in his possession. Now, the most urgent matter was to retreat.

"Ha ha ha... Gong Ziyu, no matter how strong you are, the ’Secret Volume of Heaven Calculation’ has ultimately ended up in my hands."

He let out a hearty, liberating laugh, and, like a wild goose, the Demon Young Master swept away in the opposite direction.

"Yun Wuyue, with our prize in hand, let’s go."

Yun Wuyue also broke away from the battle with Yuan Jianyi, gliding over the lake with delicate steps, her graceful figure vanishing from sight.

This scene was not only witnessed by Qing Yu and Yuan Jianyi but also by others who had just been shaken onto the shore by Qingxu’s "Four Symbols Cycle" and were now seeing it unfurl.

"The Demon Young Master has obtained the Heavenly Calculation Inheritance..."

"Let’s chase!"

"Move quickly."

...

Don’t worry about whether you can snatch away the Heavenly Calculation Inheritance after catching up, just chase first.

Amidst the shouting, the vast crowd chased after the Demon Young Master, who had already disappeared without a trace.

Hmm... it seemed like Xiang Haorang and a few others, who were gravely wounded and forgotten, were mixed in with the crowd. Poor things, they were left behind. Fortunately, the crowd was now so muddled that they managed to blend in.

And so, at the exit of the Heavenly Calculation Inheritance Relics, on this broad expanse of lake, there was only Qing Yu left, a mysterious smile playing on his lips.

No, there was also Yuan Jianyi...

Faced with Yuan Jianyi’s piercing gaze, Qing Yu subconsciously touched the bronze mask on his face, grateful that it concealed his identity.

"Brother Yuan, why aren’t you chasing after the Demon Young Master? Why stay here?"

Didn’t you see your fellow sect members have gone after him?

"I came here not for the inheritance," said Yuan Jianyi, shaking his head as he continued to focus on Qing Yu.

"That sword move just now was quite stunning."

Indeed, the "Outer Heaven Flying Immortal" move had astonished even an unparalleled talent in the Sword Dao like Yuan Jianyi. Since making his debut in worldly society, it was the first time he had encountered a peer with such dazzling swordsmanship. Therefore, how could Yuan Jianyi, who came as an opponent, not keep his eyes on Qing Yu?

Equipped with the mystical secret technique of the "Turtle Mirror," Qing Yu could clearly discern the battle intent in Yuan Jianyi’s heart at that moment. However, it was not a suitable time to engage with Yuan Jianyi, not just because the timing was off, but also the location was not ideal. The priority was to make a quick departure.

"Ha ha, to impress Brother Yuan is an honor for me. However, Brother Yuan, my True Qi is depleted, and I am somewhat wounded—it really isn’t suitable for me to engage. You wouldn’t want a fight where you can’t enjoy yourself to the fullest, would you? So, how about... we postpone our duel to another day?"

Truth be told, seeing Yuan Jianyi’s fervent battle intent, Qing Yu felt somewhat intimidated. After consecutive battles, while his True Qi and physical strength could recover, his energy could not, and to fight now was undoubtedly masochistic.

Fortunately, Yuan Jianyi’s expression dimmed upon hearing Qing Yu’s reasons and he gently shook his head, "Then let’s battle another time."

Saying this, he did not specify when the next time would be. Yuan Jianyi, nearly obsessed with the sword, then departed as well.

"Then... let’s battle next time."

Murmuring these words, Qing Yu broke into an easy smile and, stepping on the still surface of the lake, walked away leisurely.
