Chapter 1483 – The Barbarian Clan’s Treasure

The room was silent.

Given that he was talking to himself, this silence seemed to be taken for granted.

Beneath the black robe, Qin Yu sneered as he gritted his teeth, “So you really believe that I don’t dare to pick it up? Don’t push me, otherwise we can split up. It may not end well for me, but it won’t for you either!”

Buzz –

A small buzzing sound could be heard. Following that, Qin Yu’s chest grew hot and his flesh felt like it was being cut open by a red hot knife. He was like a candle melting under the heat.

Pieces of light fragments flew out and gathered in front of him. As this happened, the air in the room seemed to be thoroughly sealed. In the next moment, blinding light could be seen. After the light dimmed, the delicate figure of the Ruler appeared in front of Qin Yu.

“You brat. What did you just say? I did not hear you clearly. Say it again.”

Looking into the Ruler’s unfriendly eyes, Qin Yu coughed lightly, “Since you are here, I will go straight to the main point and not waste any more time..after all, I bet that secretly appearing in the West Desolate’s capital is not easy even for you.”

Men needed to be tough at some times but soft when the time came..this was what it meant to judge the situation!

“Hmph!” The Ruler snorted, “I don’t have much time. So ask what you wish to know.”

Qin Yu could not be bothered and took a deep breath, “What did I come to the West Desolate to do?”

The Imperial Palace’s reaction was enough to confirm the importance of this thing. Interfering was already dangerous. Moreover, Qin Yu had to follow her orders. If he did not even know what was going on and interfered, he might as well offer his head up.

The Ruler said slowly, “The nine areas of the Great Desolate have a long heritage. It has been ruling since ancient times but this does not mean that there is nothing outside of these nine areas. With the four directions, north, south, east and west, the Barbaric Clan rules the areas outside of the Great Desolate. I want to remind you that the Barbaric Clan and the Great Desolate are mortal enemies and they cannot exist together. There is no chance of reconciling..the only thing they can do is to keep on killing and reducing the power of Barbaric Clan to keep them suppressed.”

Murderous intent flew between her words.

Qin Yu’s heart froze. How horrifying was this Barbaric Clan that they could be enemies with the Great Desolate..and from what she said, it seemed like even gathering all the power in the Great Desolate, the most they could do was to suppress them but never get rid of them completely.

But this didn’t seem to have anything to do with what he asked, Qin Yu frowned, “I will remember that about the Barbaric Clan. Please continue.”

The Ruler looked at him, “The western area beyond the West Desolate is the Western Barbarian Land. A long time ago, it gave rise to an extremely powerful Ancient Barbarian Nation. They were very powerful and kept attacking the West Desolate, causing a lot of bloodshed. In the end, after a difficult and cruel battle, the Desolate Area finally defeated and destroyed the Ancient Barbarian Nation. They paid a huge price. The Western Barbarian Land then entered into its weak state and until now, they have been suppressed and unable to fight back.

“Now, the place that you are going to go to is the remains of the Ancient Barbarian Nation..or rather, it is the grave of the strongest and last king of the Ancient Barbarian Nation. Back then, the nation was extremely strong and gave birth to a strong national fortune. It was infused into a treasure from the Barbarian Clan and was meant to help the Barbarian King reach the King Realm. After the Ancient Barbarian Nation was destroyed, the Barbarian King was killed. However, this treasure containing the national fortune went missing. It is rumored to be in the grave.”

Qin Yu’s eyes lit up, “Your target is this treasure!”

The Ruler rolled her eyes elegantly as she mocked, “It is so obvious. Do you have to say it like that?”

Qin Yu ignored her attitude as he felt a pressure on his chest and a bitterness in his mouth. The grave of the last king of the Ancient Barbarian Nation. Just by the name, it showed how dangerous it was going to be. Other than Blood Flag, there were other people from the West Desolate. Because of what Qin Yu was about to do, they would become his opponents.

If he wanted to get the Barbarian Clan’s treasure, complete the Ruler’s task without anyone noticing, and get away safely..this sounded impossible. It may be slightly exaggerated to say that there was no chance of survival but it was just slightly..the chance of success was literally zero!

The Ruler ridiculed, “Why? Are you afraid?” She paused, “I haven’t told you what is truly scary. The tomb of the Barbarian King lies deep within the Western Barbarian Land. Although the West Desolate has been expanding in recent years, it is still very far. After entering the Western Barbarian Land, you will not be able to teleport. If your route is exposed and the Western Barbarians start to hunt you..I suggest that you commit suicide. You don’t want to fall into their hands alive.”

His hair stood as he heard this!

Qin Yu gritted his teeth, “I don’t understand why you are telling me this? Are you trying to scare me off? I admit that you have scared me. So how about we retreat?”

The Ruler said blandly, “You want to try?”

Qin Yu was speechless.

Although she said it emotionlessly, he could sense the threat behind it.

And she was for real!

Qin Yu knew without a doubt that if he said he did not want to do it, she would immediately report him to the West Desolate and he would die.

“Cough! Please don’t worry, I am just joking..since I already promised you, I will do my best.”

The Ruler smiled brilliantly, “I believe you.” She winked, “So what do you want to ask? Hurry.”

Qin Yu replied, “Regarding the tomb of the Barbarian King, what can you warn me about?”

The Ruler shook her head, “With regard to that place, I don’t know much. Only some very vague information about the Western Barbarian Land..for example, the king was called Santado, which means Abyss Night.”

She paused and looked at Qin Yu, “And this is the reason why you were brought to the Desolate Area. I don’t think I have to say more.”

Qin Yu seemed to be thinking, “So you are saying that the tomb of the late Barbarian King contains a horrifying dark energy..”

The Ruler nodded, “It seems so for now, but I can’t confirm anything.”

Qin Yu’s mind calmed down. Since the West Desolate knew of the existence of this late Barbarian King and the treasure, they must have done their verifications. This was why Li Zhouyi would think of him and use the ‘Darkness Ruler’ as the last straw.

Unless the previous Desolate Emperor had been lying to Li Zhouyi..if not, the reliability was quite high.

This meant that once he entered the tomb of the late Barbarian King, Qin Yu’s Darkness Ruler version had a higher chance of surviving.

Crack –

A soft sound could be heard from the Ruler’s body. Her figure grew blurry. She yawned and looked tired, “Okay, if there is nothing else, I will leave first.”

“Wait!” Qin Yu rushed to say, “Regarding Yun Qing, did you find anything out?”

The Ruler frowned, “What do you mean?”

“Very simple! How could you be sure that Yun Qing would be able to lure Ning Xiao to fall into the trap? Is she hiding some secret?”

Was it really a coincidence that the two faces were completely identical? Or was Yun Qing related to Feature! Initially, Qin Yu thought that it was the first one. But after the situation with Ning Xiao, he could not help but think it was something else.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Yu said, “Regarding Feature, I asked you before and told you that she was a very important friend of mine. So I hope that you can tell me the truth and not hide anything!”

Looking into his glowing eyes, the Ruler yawned once more, “You are thinking too much. I don’t know Feature, but Yun Qing seems to be hiding a secret..as for what it is, unless you want to sleep with her, there is no need to know.

“Or maybe, after you sleep with her, you will naturally find out what she is hiding. So there is no need for me to waste time on this. I am tired..that is all.”

Pak –

With a soft sound, the Ruler’s delicate figure disappeared like a bubble.

Qin Yu looked disappointed. He had been hoping to get an answer from the Ruler. Feature..did she really disappear completely from his life without any trace?

He looked gloomy and his chest felt stuffy. His future seemed dull and difficult. He felt both empty and sore.

The feeling was not good.

Maybe he was thinking too much!

Taking a deep breath, he suppressed his emotions before breathing out. When Qin Yu lifted his head again, his expression was calm.

Since there was nothing to do about Feature, he would not waste energy.

“Western Barbarians..”

As Qin Yu spoke, he suddenly recalled Jiang Chengzi, the general from the west border who he knew because of Hundred Saint.

He had once mentioned that the Western Barbarian Land kept having movements and was in a stalemate with the border army..could this have something to do with the tomb of the Barbarian King? And also the treasure from the Barbarian Clan?

Infused with the national fortune from the powerful Ancient Barbarian Nation, although the Ruler did not go into detail, it must have something to do with breaking through realms and improving one’s cultivation.

Although she was a woman, the more Qin Yu interacted with her, the more he could feel.

She was a very strong person!

Even just how she managed to enter the imperial capital of the West Desolate without being detected was astounding.

If someone so powerful was trying all methods and means to get the treasure from the Western Barbarian Land..and the reaction from the West Desolate’s Imperial Palace. Could it involve an even higher level..Half-King?

Even though he had not been in the Desolate Area for long and had limited information, through his interaction with Hundred Saint and what he had just learnt, the King realm was the highest level.

Like Di Shitian, who oversaw the channel. The look of the celestial dome was deeply imprinted into his memory.

“If I can get the treasure..” A thought suddenly sprung up in Qin Yu’s head before he pushed it down.

He knew very clearly that if he took the Barbarian Clan’s treasure, the most likely outcome would be that he would explode!

People knew themselves and their limits. Of course, although Qin Yu suppressed his greed, it would still depend on the situation.

If he really got the chance..then he could only apologize to the Ruler!
