Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 652: Devil Mountain

With Ye Yu's death, the matters here also came to a temporary close.

As for slaying Ye Yu, the Valkyrie showed no great disturbance; it seemed as though she had done something as simple as casually crushing an ant.

Moreover, after suppressing Ye Yu, she examined Qinchuan with a penetrating gaze. Even the unfathomable depth of her calm eyes flickered with a strand of indescribably strange light, as if she were silently strategizing something.

However, immediately after, the Valkyrie's expression returned to its usual clear and indifferent state, her golden armor receded, and she once again appeared as an ethereal Holy Maiden.

"Hey, back at the island battle, you were the first to injure people of mine, and later you made a move against me. After I suppressed you, not only did I not trouble you, but I also allowed you to leave safely.

Now, upon meeting again, not only do you not thank me, but you actually plot to make a move against me!"

Qinchuan could naturally tell that this person was assessing whether she could suppress him and was still obsessively coveting his two Spiritual Pearls.

After sizing him up from multiple angles, she concluded that she was not Qinchuan's match.

Otherwise, she would have struck him down with thunderous force just now.

Qinchuan shrugged and said.

"You didn't kill me because you want to possess me, to become Dao companions with me. I want to kill you because you have something I want."

The soulless Holy Maiden was enveloped in spiritual energy, her radiance flowing gracefully, resembling a fairy-blossom in bloom. Her entire being appeared hazy and sacred, giving off a flawless and impeccable aura that captivated hearts. But the words she spoke were quite a mood killer.

"Pfft—"

Qinchuan spat out a breath, looking at the soulless Holy Maiden with a bizarre expression: "You, who lack even a soul, what do you know of possession or not possessing? Do you even understand what Dao companions mean?!"

"I naturally don't understand; it was your sister who told me about it."

The soulless Valkyrie pointed to Qin Xiaoyu standing beside her, her face expressionless.

"Gah?!"

Qinchuan looked towards Qin Xiaoyu, his gaze questioning and puzzled.

"Ah, this... this..."

"Brother, I didn't know it was you!"

Qin Xiaoyu's entire face fell, her expression slack: "Brother, you can't blame me for this. After the last time senior sister went out and came back, I felt she was troubled about something, so I asked her what happened.

The senior sister asked me what it meant if someone clearly had the chance to kill her but let her go at the last moment.

You tell me, how could I be blamed for this?!"

With an innocent look on her face, Qin Xiaoyu defensively said: "Brother, if you had such a stunningly beautiful senior sister who seemed as if she walked out of a painting, and she asked you this question, and the other party was a man, wouldn't your first reaction be that the guy has fallen for the senior sister!"

"Hmm, that makes some sense. I used to go out with the senior sister often; I have a say in this, and it's probably the case eight or nine times out of ten." Ji Huo'er chimed in at this point.

Qinchuan's entire face turned dark.

At this point, Qin Xiaoyu's expression suddenly changed, then she revealed a strange look: "Brother, you haven't really fallen for senior sister, have you?"

"Enough, go play over there."

Qinchuan naturally wouldn't tell her that it was because her senior sister looked exactly like the woman he loved.

"The business here is concluded. Now that the last pair of keys to Devil Mountain has appeared, it's time for me to return and gather others to prepare for the opening of Devil Mountain.

Since you have obtained one of the last pair of keys, then, half a year from now, come to Devil Mountain on time."

Lacking a soul, naturally there were no emotions or desires, the soulless Holy Maiden was indifferent and did not comprehend their banter, simply speaking at this moment.

Qinchuan also became serious.

Devil Mountain, a place shrouded in mystery.

Like the nine major secret realms, Devil Mountain has also been passed down since ancient times.

However, it is somewhat different from the nine secret realms.

The nine secret realms have always been open, and throughout the ages, countless cultivators have entered, with ancient secret treasures having been obtained by ancestors long ago.

But Devil Mountain, for hundreds of millions of years, has never been opened by anyone.

There are rumors in the world that Devil Mountain belonged to the two ancient races of the Demon Race and Ghost Race, being a world secret realm where the newborn children of both races underwent baptism.

It is said that to open this Devil Mountain, nine pairs of different spiritual keys are required.

Back then, these nine pairs of keys were separately managed by the elders of the two great ancient races, the Ghost Race and the Demon Race.

However, as the Demon Race perished and the Ghost Race was banished to the Underworld, the nine pairs of keys to Devil Mountain were scattered across the Divine Wilderness Continent, lost in the river of time.

After years of searching by the powerful beings of the Human Race, some of the keys reappeared in the world.

But Qinchuan remembered that, a hundred thousand years ago, only five pairs of keys to Devil Mountain had been found, that is, ten keys, which were controlled by ten super sects.

The remaining four pairs had not been found, and some claimed that these four pairs had been taken into the Underworld by the Ghost Race.

Because of time constraints, Qinchuan had not delved into the Underworld years ago to search for the whereabouts of the keys.

"In just a hundred thousand years, all four pairs of keys have actually appeared?"

This was beyond Qinchuan's expectations, so he could not help but ask, "Devil Mountain requires nine pairs of keys to open. Who currently holds the other eight pairs, besides this one?"

"You'll know when you get there," Wu Hun, the Holy Maiden, said calmly.

"Xiaoyu, Hong Yuan, it's time to go."

With those words, she was about to take Qin Xiaoyu and the others away.

"Brother, shall I go back with senior sister first?" Qin Xiaoyu looked at Qinchuan with longing eyes, whispering softly.

She seemed rather embarrassed about having found a master so unexpectedly, feeling that she fell short of her brother's expectations for her.

"Go ahead," Qinchuan understood that behind the Holy Maiden were figures with immense power and reach, perhaps even the ones who set the rules of this world. Having Qin Xiaoyu take the other as a master would not affect her cultivation.

"Little Red, just continue to follow Xiaoyu," Qinchuan patted the Red Luan on his shoulder.

Red Luan flapped its wings and obediently flew back to Qin Xiaoyu's shoulder, showing no desire to stay.

Although following Qinchuan never lacked tasty treats, his presence was too domineering and the enemies he faced were too powerful.

It was better to follow Qin Xiaoyu. The enemies she faced were all weaklings who she could annihilate with a single breath.

Wu Hun, the Holy Maiden, tore open the void, and a passage emerged. Just as everyone was about to step in, Qinchuan seemed to remember something.

"Hey, what's-your-name, my name is Qinchuan. What's yours?" Qinchuan called out to Wu Hun.

"Hmph," the other party snorted coldly, seemingly not interested in answering his question, and stepped directly into the void passage.

"We'll see each other again. I can't always be shouting 'hey,' can I?" Qinchuan raised his voice.

The figure of Wu Hun, the Holy Maiden, completely disappeared into the passage, and the light flickered and vanished.

"Hee hee, senior sister said her name is Wu Xin! It's a name Master gave her personally!"

Seeing Qinchuan at a loss, Qin Xiaoyu spoke gleefully in a loud voice.

Qinchuan watched the space rift heal itself and murmured to himself.

"Wu Xin, huh? The heartless are also soulless, that's quite interesting."
