<h4>Chapter 1306 – Red Peak Straits</h4>
“I was not joking around…” The Dragon Saint uttered softly as he wore a pained expression, “That Peach guy is too lucky! Sigh, tell me about it. I will do everything I can to heed your requests.”
Qin Yu pretended that he did not hear the first half of the Dragon Saint’s sentence. He cupped his hands together and said, “Thank you Dragon Saint.” He went straight to the point, “Have you heard of Cang Zhu or Tan Hai?”
Dragon Saint shook his head, “Not at all…however, these two names seem to be from the East Sea.”
As he said this, he nced at Qin Yu.
Qin Yu frowned slightly. This was expected. With Dragon Saint’s status, how would he know the names of two youngsters? “As far as I know, they are from the East Sea. They seem to call a strong cultivator in their family Old Ancestor.”
Those who were qualified to be called Ancestor were unordinary.
A hesitant look crossed the Dragon Saint’s face and he lightly coughed, “If that is the case, I can make a few guesses. The East Sea is too big and it would be hard.” He continued, “Mister Ninth, if you aren’t in a rush, you can take a rest first and I will ask someone to look into this matter.”
“I am in a rush.”
Dragon Saint paused, “Alright, then please wait here.” As he said this, his hand knocked against his chair and a metallic ng rang out.
Tortoise Spirit’s respectful voice came from outside, “What is it?”
“Bring ck Armor over.”
“Yes.”
Tortoise Spirit knew the Dragon Saint’s personality. If the Dragon Saint gave him instructions before his guest was settled in, it must be an urgent matter.
ck Armor quickly arrived through the teleportation portal. He pushed open the door and greeted, “Greetings to Dragon Saint…” He hesitated, “Greetings to Mister Ninth.”
He was in full admiration!
Before this, he could still stand on the same battling tform as Qin Yu. However, Qin Yu had now progressed to a whole other stage. They were no longer at the same level.
The Dragon Saint waved his hand, “Rise. ck Armor, have you ever heard of the names Cang Zhu and Tan Hai?”
ck Armor cupped his hands together, “Tan Hai is a general under ck Turtle of the Red Peak Straits. I have exchanged hands with him before. However, I have never heard of the other name.”
Qin Yu’s eyes brightened. Cang Zhu and Tan Hai came from the same ce and knowing where one of them was was enough. He looked at the Dragon Saint and nodded.
“Mister Ninth is here to seek out these two people. It is a secret and you must not reveal anything.” The Dragon Saint gave his instructions and then turned to exin, “ck Armor has been in charge of guarding the Red Peak Straits and he is familiar with that ce. Mister Ninth, you can ask him anything.”
Qin Yu asked, “ck Armor, tell me about the Red Peak Straits.”
ck Armor looked at the Dragon Saint. The Dragon Saint coughed and waved his hand, “You can answer Mister Ninth directly. There is no need to hide anything.”
“Yes, I understand.” ck Armor bowed and replied, “Mister Ninth, the Red Peak Straits is in the northern part of the East Sea. It is an area covered in snow and ice caps. Its leader is a ck turtle who has lived for ten thousand years. He is strong, and as such, he is not under the jurisdiction of the Dragon Pce. He is the greatest rebel power against the East Sea and there are many fearful creatures under him.”
He exined the situation but also simplified it a bit. Was he really going to tell Qin Yu that ck Turtle was so strong that he survived even after three battles with the Dragon Saint? Eventually, the East Sea had to settle and acknowledge the existence of the Red Peak Straits as a country within the East Sea Region.
Cough cough. While his words implied the full story, he had exined it in a more subtle manner.
Qin Yu could sense the meaning in his words. ck Turtle must be very strong if he could make the Dragon Saint this helpless. A sh crossed his eyes and he asked, “Has there been anything strange in the Red Peak Straits recently?”
ck Armor shook his head and answered, “Nothing much…” He hesitated, pondered over it and continued, “However, it seems like there was an internal change within the Red Peak Straits not long ago. Some were injured and some died, but this was quickly resolved and it did not cause much change in the Red Peak Straits. However, after the incident, the Red Peak Straits increased its defense and security substantially.”
Qin Yu recalled Cang Zhu. This incident and the increase in security might be rted to her escape. He asked another question about Tan Hai and confirmed that they were talking about the same person. With this, he became more confident.
Once Qin Yu was done with his questions, the Dragon Saint waved his hand dismissively and said, “ck Armor, you may leave first, but don’t leave the Dragon Pce for now.”
“Yes, understood.” ck Armor bowed as he left.
Qin Yu looked at the Dragon Saint, “Who is this Old Ancestor, ck Turtle?”
Dragon Saint shook his head, “He is not a True Saint but he is very strong and only slightly weaker than a True Saint. It is his turtle shell…” A helpless look crossed the Dragon Saint’s face at this point and the expression in his eyes wasplicated, “It is so hard, so hard!”
The turtle shell must be very hard if it could cause the Dragon Saint to be so helpless.
Qin Yu softly acknowledged the response. He had hidden his identity toe to the East Sea and aside from the Dragon Saint and Dragini, there were only two other underlings who knew about it. If his identity was discovered, things would take a turn.
After all, ck Turtle’s consciousness had entered Cang Zhu before, and Qin Yu did not know what else he knew.
Despite that, Cang Zhu must be facing a problem now. Because of what she did for him, Qin Yu felt that he ought to personally head down to help her.
After thinking for a while, Qin Yu cupped his hands and said, “Dragon Saint, I will head to the Red Peak Straits.”
The game would finally begin!
With Qin Yu’s current status, was he really just visiting a friend if he had to conceal his identity toe to the East Sea? He he, who would believe him dumbly?
The Dragon Saint did not know what that damn ck Turtle did to provoke the young star. But that was not important. The Dragon Saint had tolerated that ck Turtle for so many years and this was finally a chance for revenge!
A twinkle was in his eyes and the Dragon Saint leaned forward in his seat eagerly, “Mister Ninth, forgive me for asking, but what business do you have with ck Turtle of the Red Peak Straits?”
Qin Yu replied, “I have never met him.”
Disappointment instantly filled the Dragon Saint’s eyes. Why would he harbor such a grudge if he had never met ck Turtle? Even if there was a problem, it would not be big.
It was not going to be simple if he wanted to borrow Qin Yu’s hand to kill ck Turtle…unless, did Qin Yu sense something? Was he hiding a secret and trying to go against the Dragon Saint?
He carefully studied Qin Yu. At the very least, the Dragon Saint was sure that Qin Yu was not lying when he said that he had never met ck Turtle.
“Cough, I see.”
Qin Yu could sense the uneasiness from the Dragon Saint and he exined, “I am on familiar terms with the Dragon Pce in the East Sea and you have taken care of me in the past. If possible, I would naturally side with the Dragon Pce. However, there are a few things that I have to clear up now and it is not convenient for me to exin. How about this? You can give me a way to contact you once I have entered the Red Peak Straits.”
His attitude reassured the Dragon Saint and he took out a dragon scale, “Mister Ninth, when you need it, you can contact me through this.”
Qin Yu stood up and said, “Since that is the case, I will not disturb you further.” He paused, “The Red Peak Straits has high security. To avoid being discovered by others, I would like to seek ck Armor’s help.”
The Dragon Saint replied, “Not a problem. I will give the instructions; everything will be arranged for you.”
“Thank you Dragon Saint, goodbye.” Qin Yu turned and left through the door. Before he stepped out, he put on his disguise again.
The Dragon Saint stared at Qin Yu through the entire process as Qin Yu’s physical body morphed. He could not pick out anything wrong.
After two consecutive asions of seeing Qin Yu transformed, the Dragon Saint could still not pick out any ws, and this made him sad.
The Peach Garden had the peach wood portal door. For the East Sea, this was arge, mysterious shell that was living. Qin Yu followed ck Armor into the shell and the space shifted. When he stepped out, he was in the northern part of the East Sea.
This was a world covered in snow, and everywhere he looked was a nket of white. It was a piercing cold where strong winds blew to lift up snow and ice.
The base tent of the Dragon Pce was built on this snowyndscape.
ck Armor respectfully said, “Mister, please take a rest. I will quickly arrange everything.”
Qin Yu nodded casually and entered a warm tent. After a few instructions to the ves, ck Armor bowed and left.
Two ves from the Sea n would asionally steal nces at Qin Yu, their gazes filled with curiosity and respect. It was obvious that Qin Yu was a Saint. Otherwise, ck Armor would not be so respectful to him.
Perhaps because of the Rule System Body, Qin Yu was still himself but he was more attractive.
This was not rted to his appearance but to his blood, flesh, muscles and bones. There was an indescribable attraction that other living things felt towards him.
As such, despite his disguise, the two female ves would steal nces at him. They would not dare to do so if it was another important guest.
Qin Yu knew but ignored this. Thankfully, ck Armor was fast and returned quickly.
“Mister, everything has been arranged.”
Qin Yu stood up, “Let’s go.”
Not longter, there was a small conflict between the East Sea Dragon Pce encampment and the Sea n from the Red Peak Straits. This conflict did notst long and after half an hour, both parties inspected the corpses of the dead and the situation came to an end.
Simr conflicts weremon here and would happen every few days. No one paid much attention to it.
“Dragon Pce, these bastards. They are lucky to run this time. I will definitely have their heads the next time.”
“They had two more casualties than us so it can be considered our victory. Let’s return and celebrate!”
“Ha ha ha, these dogs from the Dragon Pce are so unpleasant. If there''s a chance next time, we will kill two more!”
On a strange boat in the sea, a group of members of the Sea nughed brazenly. They all had strong auras.
There was no other choice. Although ck Turtle was strong and the Dragon Saint was helpless towards him, he had been pushed and cornered to a region of the Red Peak Straits.
Its overall strength could notpare to the Dragon Pce and these small conflicts often ended with the Red Peak Straits being the loser. However, they had killed two more individuals this time and this group of men would be able to obtain rewards from the Sea n.
As they spoke, a burly half-crab half-man hit the other individual from the Sea n, “Wood Stone, thank you for blocking that blow for me. I will remember this. We will drink tonight and you cannot return home until you are drunk!”
This person, Wood Stone, smiled as he nodded. He was not someone of many words and the Sea n members did not take this to heart. The topic changed and the group grew uproarious with a madughter.
As such, no one noticed that Wood Stone had a calm expression deep within his eyes.
