The Third Set Forty-Nine Heavenly Tribulations Chapter 16: Crisis (Part One)

  "The leader of the Heavenly Web was actually..." Qin Yu's heart moved slightly and he smiled faintly, then walked to the front of the blue-robed elder and sat down without any courtesy.

  The blue-robed elder smiled and said slowly, "Mr. Flowing Star, you have completed nine gold medal tasks in three months, all perfectly done. I was also amazed when I first saw it, but later I found out that there is such a master as Mr. Flowing Star outside of our Tianwang's outer net."

  "Gold medal mission? Not a bit of difficulty, I wanted an opponent, but couldn't find one, it's really... " Qin Yu said with an arrogant tone.

  Qin Yu, in order to avoid being discovered by others of his true identity, also defined the assassin Flowing Star as a martial arts master who pursued the ultimate peak, and nothing else mattered besides martial arts.

  "Not a bit of difficulty, has Master Liuyue already reached the state of Innate Great Perfection?" The blue-robed elder asked back. Qin Yu suddenly laughed loudly and said, "Elder, just try it out to know, eh? Rarely met an expert like you."

  As he spoke, Qin Yu's right hand suddenly made a move.

  Qin Yu had been training his finger strength since he was young, and at the same time, he also trained his finger agility. After breaking through again and again, Qin Yu's finger strength had now reached an astonishing level. With just a stretch of his right hand, dozens of finger shadows appeared.

  The blue-robed elder's eyes lit up, and he also stretched out his right hand index finger. A dazzling light appeared on the tip of his right hand.

  Bang!

  Finger pointing at finger, mutually head-on collision, unexpectedly evenly matched.

  Qin Yu's mouth corners suddenly slightly curled up, a purple light burst out from his fingertips, and the blue-robed elder felt a sharp power penetrate into his body through his fingers, and he was shocked in his heart, quickly withdrawing his hand, while using the liquidized innate true energy in his dantian to neutralize this strange true energy.

  "Haha, Mr. Meteor is indeed formidable! I admire him, I admire him!" The blue-robed elder's eyes lit up and he burst out laughing immediately.

  This time, he was ordered by Qin De to invite Qin Yu. First of all, it was necessary to determine the extent of Qin Yu's strength. From this finger force comparison alone, the blue-robed elder had already confirmed 100% that the Flowing Star in front of him was absolutely no weaker than himself.

  "The Great Elder didn't use his full strength either, and I won without being able to claim victory." Qin Yu said calmly.

  Qin Yu could see that the blue-robed elder had not used all his strength, but Qin Yu himself had not used all his strength either. Qin Yu was confident that he could deal with the blue-robed elder as long as he used the purple primordial true energy obtained from cultivating the third piece of the "Tongtian Diagram".

  "Mr. Meteor's strength is so high, it seems that Mr. Meteor has the qualifications to receive a task." The blue-robed elder said mysteriously.

  Qin Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, he also knew that the Flowing Star Master he portrayed was a person who pursued martial arts and extremes. Qin Yu immediately said: "Oh? The elder tested me just now, and only now says I have the qualifications to take on this task, it seems that this task is quite extraordinary? Tell me about it."

  "Unpredictable? Mr. Meteor, there are several top-notch experts at your level participating in this mission. Once you join, life and death are no longer a concern."

  "Oh?"

  Qin Yu's heart skipped a beat.

  He knew his current strength, in the heart of Blue Clothes Elder, Killer Meteor Flow was a congenital Great Perfection expert. But he said that there were several people who participated in this task with him at the same level, wasn't it that there were several congenital Great Perfection experts?

  "What task, could it be......" Qin Yu had a premonition in his heart.

  "Haha... Do you need a few masters like me for such a difficult task? Are you trying to assassinate an Upper Immortal?" Qin Yu asked with a smile.

  The blue-robed elder shook his head and said, "It's not an assassination of the Upper Immortal, but rather being a bodyguard for someone. The time is roughly one month. If you're willing to participate, within that month, you must protect your employer well." The blue-robed elder stared at Qin Yu, carefully observing Qin Yu's reaction.

  "Bodyguard? Hmph, ask me to be a bodyguard." Qin Yu said coldly.

  The blue-robed elder said confidently: "Mr. Meteor, please rest assured that this task is not one you'll find too easy. The difficulty level is guaranteed to be high, and the strength of the enemies will definitely satisfy you. Most importantly... if the task is successful, we can give you a top-grade divine weapon!"

  Xianpin upper grade, in the eyes of ordinary people on the Profound Dragon Continent, is the top-grade weapon.

  As for the spiritual instrument, it is generally only possessed by cultivators of truth. Qin Yu obtained that piece of Stone Fiery Iron, but it was only after being refined by Feng Yuzi that he got a spiritual instrument. How could ordinary people obtain a spiritual instrument? The blue-robed elder said that the task reward was an upper-grade immortal weapon, which was already an extremely high reward.

  A good sword is of great attraction to a martial artist; if one is going to wear it, he should wear it with style.

  "Oh..." A hint of movement flashed in Qin Yu's eyes.

  The blue-robed elder saw Qin Yu's expression and knew there was a show to be had. He immediately said, "Mr. Flowing Star, this type of mission is extremely hard to come by. If you want to participate, meet me in three days at this teahouse, and I will lead you there."

  "Protect who? Protect whom? And where are we going?" Qin Yu asked back.

  The blue-robed elder shook his head and said, "I can only tell you that the person being protected is called Mr. Ying. As for the rest, you don't need to ask. Just follow us when the time comes." The blue-robed elder stared at Qin Yu, waiting for his reaction.

  "Win Mr?" Qin Yu's heart moved, and he became even more certain of his guess.

  "Alright, I've taken this task. Three days later, we'll meet at this tea house." Qin Yu laughed and his figure flew out of the second floor window, leaving behind a few residual shadows before disappearing from sight. The blue-robed elder looked outside the window, smiling and nodding in approval.

  Late at night, inside the imperial study.

  "Your Majesty, this is a secret letter from 'Dark Chess'." A refined middle-aged man handed over a letter, and Xiang Guang, who was sitting, quickly took it. Xiang Guang opened the secret letter and looked at its contents, his brow furrowed instantly, "What? Qin De wants to rebel on the 49th day, and there's less than a month left."

  His face was constantly changing expressions.

  Qin De had always been a thorn in Xiang Guang's side, and he couldn't rest easy for even a day unless Qin De was eliminated. But now that he heard Qin De was going to cross the 49th Heaven Tribulation, he felt a bit flustered. He both looked forward to Qin De failing the tribulation and dying, yet worried that Qin De would succeed in crossing it and become a Golden Dan period expert.

  If so, the Qin family would have two great immortals, and once the Qin family rebels, the threat would be much greater.

  Xiang Guang thought for a long time, then looked up at the elegant middle-aged man in front of him and asked: "Mr. Lan, did Wu Xingwu explicitly state that they only promised to protect us? It's really difficult to get them to take action... Ah, Mr. Lan, is there any clear indication from our ancestors?"

  Mr. Lan smiled slightly, then took out a small jade bottle from his bosom and placed it on Emperor Guang's desk, saying: "Your Majesty, this is Chi Sheng Dan, I believe Your Majesty also understands the meaning of our ancestors."

  Xiang Guang was shocked when he heard the three words "Chi Sheng Dan", and then a sinister smile appeared on his face: "Chi Sheng Dan, the last Chi Sheng Dan, how could the old ancestor bear to part with it? Alright, don't worry, Mr. Lan, tell the old ancestor that I will absolutely not disappoint him. Hmph, Wu Xing and Wu De are indeed too greedy, but... in order to eliminate Qin De, there is no other way."

  "No matter what, Qin De must not be allowed to succeed in his tribulation, otherwise they will have two Golden Dan stage experts on their side. When the time comes for war, combined with the military forces of the three counties of the Eastern Domain, even if a rebellion is not successful, my Item family will suffer greatly, which would not be worth it." Item Guang clenched the jade bottle in his hand tightly.

  Mr. Lan nodded slightly and then walked out of the main gate with an air of confidence.

  Xiang Guang was in the imperial study all night without sleep, and by the early hours of the second day, Xiang Guang directly took the secret master out of the palace.
