Rashomon
Rashomon
Qin Yu couldn't think of any countermeasures against their techniques.
Covered in cold sweat, Qin Yu walked made his way to Huaning Mountain.
Mo Hong, who had been hiding in the dark for many days, finally discovered Qin Yu.
His eyes lit up, but then he frowned.
"He... how come he's coming back from the outside?" Mo Hong was dumbfounded for a second.
Wasn't Qin Yu always at Huaning Mountain? When did he leave?
"Oh no, could it be that the information I received was wrong?" Mo Hong muttered to himself in a low voice.
Since Qin Yu had returned to Huaning Mountain, there was no need for him to continue waiting.
After thinking about it for a long time, he finally decided to return to Tianyun Sect.
...
Qin Yu returned to Huaning Mountain and quickly found Jue Wu.
At this moment, Jue Wu was eating and drinking. She had a chicken drumstick in one hand and a pot of fine wine in the other.
Meanwhile, Wen Da and Wen Er both had been passed out for a long time. It was obvious that they had too much to drink.
"Qin Yu? You came back at the right time. Come, come, come. Come drink with me," Jue Wu said casually.
But Qin Yu was not in no mood to make merry. He sat opposite Jue Wu and said in a grave voice, "I just met the eighteen immortals ."
When she heard this, Jue Wu sat up immediately.
She said a little nervously, "How did you meet them? Did they do anything to you?"
Qin Yu nodded slightly before he told Jue Wu everything.
After Jue Wu heard it, her face immediately sank.
"It's the Rashomon,"Jue Wu said coldly.
"Rashomon? What kind of spell is that?" Qin Yu asked, a little puzzled.
Jue Wu looked at Qin Yu and explained, "This spell was created by the sect master of Tianyun Sect; it's his greatest weapon to kill. However, from what you said, these eighteen immortals must have just mastered the basics. Because if it was the sect master of Tianyun Sect who activated use the Rashomon, he would have no need to get close at all."
Qin Yu couldn't help but gasp when he heard this.
That was only the basics? Moreover, such terrifying technique was not an inheritance, but something he created himself?
"The sect master of Tianyun Sect has this kind of ability?" Qin Yu said with some shock.
Jue Wu rolled her eyes at Qin Yu and said, "Of course. If he can lead Tianyun Sect to battle all over the place, his strength must be considerable."
Only then did Qin Yu realized that he had been seriously underestimated the strength of the sect master from Tianyun Sect.
"Then how could the Rashomon be broken?" Qin Yu asked.
Jue Wu shook her head and replied, "I don't know either. I've never encountered it before."
Qin Yu immediately fell into silence.
Jue Wu might not ever have the chance to encounter the Rashomon, but Qin Yu would definitely encounter it again.
Sooner or later, he was certain that there would be a battle between him and the eighteen immortals. "Does anyone know how to break this technique?" Qin Yu continued to press.
Jue Wu rolled her eyes and said, "How should I know? Anyway, I heard that not many people can survive this technique. As for the veracity of this claim, I cannot say."
Qin Yu scratched his head as if he was a little worried.
Seeing that Qin Yu was not ready to give up, Jue Wu waved her hand and said, "Alright, I'll help you by asking around. You stay safe on the mountain."
Qin Yu quickly pulled Jue Wu back and said, "What if the eighteen immortals came and you are not here?"
Jue Wu glared at him before she said, "They don't dare! If they dare to come to Huaning Mountain, I'll tear them apart! You can rest assured of that and stay on the mountain."
When Qin Yu saw this, he had no choice but to nod his head.
Jue Wu didn't waste any time either, and immediately left Huaning Mountain.
As for Qin Yu, he brought the Nascent Soul Pills that he had prepared and went to Jue Wu's cultivation room. He planned to begin his cultivation in retreat.
He took out the one hundred Nascent Soul Pills in his possession and said in a low voice, "I only have seventy percent of my strength left now. If I cand recuperate my strength at its peak, my strength will still increase to a certain extent."
"If I step into the Mighty Realm... perhaps I won't be afraid of the eighteen immortals."
When Qin Yu thought of this, he could not help but took a deep breath.
He did not dare to waste any more time. He took out the Nascent Soul Pills and swallowed the first one.
Endless Spiritual Qi exploded in his body and flowed to all parts of his body through his meridians.
That familiar feeling relaxed him and made him feel happy. Qin Yu could not help but shuddered slightly.
A Nascent Soul Pill needed at least two days to be completely absorbed. In order to save time, Qin Yu took out several Nascent Soul Pills and stuffed them into his mouth.
The feeling was extremely unpleasant to say the least. Qin Yu only felt as if his dantian was about to explode, and he had stomach cramps.
A thin veil of sweat covered his forehead, and he looked to be in extreme pain.
Qin Yu gritted his teeth and quickly unleashed the Meridian Circulation Technique, to allow his spiritual qi to circulate even faster.
Moments later, the feeling of abdominal pain began to subside slowly and eventually, disappeared.
Qin Yu could not help but heaved a sigh of relief. However, this intense pain did not deter Qin Yu. On the contrary, he picked up more pills and stuffed them into his mouth.
As long as he could speed up the rate of cultivation, the pain was nothing in comparison.
...
At Tianyun Sect.
The eighteen immortals and Mr. White's primordial spirit returned to the sect at the same time.
The First Elder rushed out quickly. He looked at Mr. White, who was floating in the air, and could not help the change of expression on his face.
Upon closer examination, one of the eighteen immortals was actually injured quite seriously!
This immediately caused First Elder great concern. He hurriedly asked, "What's going on? Where's Qin Yu?"
"He was not captured," said Mr. White.
With a gloomy face, he looked fiercely at the eighteen immortals. Gritting his teeth, he said, "The eighteen immortals actually want me to die, then. Me!"
At this point, he clamped his mouth shut abruptly.
Mr. White suddenly realized a problem. If the First Elder knew that he had been captured by Qin Yu, he would probably be punished.
"What exactly happened? Talk!" the First Elder asked impatiently.
Mr. White snorted and said, "It's nothing. I tried my best to escape with my primordial spirit intact. I'm afraid I'll have to cultivate in retreat, just like Guardian Ren."
With that, Mr. White turned around and left.
The First Elder could only cast his gaze upon the eighteen immortals. However, the eighteen immortals did not say a word. They completely ignored the First Elder.
They took the injured immortal and quickly left the place.
The First Elder's face paled. He could not figure out how Mr. White and the eighteen immortals could have failed so badly when they attacked at the same time!
"Could it be that Qin Yu is already strong enough to take on the eighteen immortals..."the First Elder muttered in a low voice. He seemed to have suffered some defeat with the thought of this possibility.
At this moment, Mo Hong had arrived.
The moment he saw the First Elder, he said impatiently, "First Elder, our information is wrong. Qin Yu is not at Huaning Mountain at all! He just returned to Huaning Mountain today!"
First Elder looked at Mo Hong and said, "You saw Qin Yu? How was his condition? Was he injured?"
Mo Hong frowned and scratched his head. "I didn't pay much attention to it, but he didn't seem to have any problems..."
