Being attacked by arge and powerful herd of Metal Beasts and then forced to migrate the vige. This was amon urrence in all the Gravity Gathereds of the Dark Star Realm.
“Jin Feng, if you want to greet our Mulberry Receiving Vige, you only need toe by yourself. Why did you bring such arge group of people with you? There are several hundred people. Furthermore, all of them are King level experts. They should all be the third stage experts of your Golden Sun Vige, right?”
Following the thick and strong voice, a robust man without any shirt on walked out. It was precisely Si Liu… the number two person of the Mulberry Receiving Vige.
The vige chief of the Golden Sun Vige, Jin Feng, smiled lightly. “The reason why we came was first to greet you all and secondly to ask about a matter.”
“What is it?” Si Liu frowned and said.
Jin Feng’s expression turned cold. “This time, our Golden Sun Vige split our people into multiple groups for the migration. Amongst a group of them were a bit over a hundred people… however, everyone in this group has died.”
“Everyone of them died?” Si Liu’s expression took a huge change. Even the group of youths including Xiu Ya were astonished.
It was truly rare for there to be so many people dead at once. That was because the Metal Beasts possess very low intelligence. It is practically impossible for them to kill over a hundred experts at once.
“After we searched, in that group of people, other than Xu Zong, we were unable to find even the corpses of the other people. Also, looking at the injuries that Xu Zong had that caused his death, he ought to have been killed by humans and not Metal Beasts.” Jin Feng’s voice was cold. “In the surrounding area, only your Mulberry Receiving Vige is located near there. I want to know whether or not it’s your people that killed Xu Zong and the over a hundred people that were migrating?”
The Golden Sun Vige was antagonistic towards the Mulberry Receiving Vige. They possess a hatred that has persisted for countless years. Adding on the corpse of Xu Zong, it was no wonder that Jin Feng would suspect the Mulberry Receiving Vige.
“No, we haven’t.” Said Si Liu resolutely.
Jin Feng sneered. “Although there is hatred between our two viges, it’s not at a level where you should kill over a hundred of our people at once.”
At this moment, a silver haired old man walked out from the Mulberry Receiving Vige. Beside him was precisely Qin Yu.
“Vige chief.” Si Liu, Xiu Ya and the rest of the Mulberry Receiving Vigers, all bowed. At this moment, all of the vigers of the Mulberry Receiving Vige who had been training in their residences had also walked out. Over a thousand people had gathered here.
“Lord Liu Xing, allow me to take care of this matter first.” This silver haired old man said to Qin Yu via voice transmission.
Qin Yu slightly nodded.
It had been two days since Qin Yu came out from the Jiang Lan’s Realm. These past two days, he had been together with the vige chief of the Mulberry Receiving Vige, Si Liu’s father… Si Xu. Qin Yu slightly exposed a bit of his strength and Si Xu immediately began to wee Qin Yu respectfully.
“Vige chief Si Xu, could it be that you’re also nning to deny that the over a hundred people of my Golden Sun Vige were killed by your Mulberry Receiving Vige?” Said the vige chief of the Golden Sun Vige, Jin Feng, coldly.
Si Xu’s silver brows jumped. He lightly smiled and said. “I admit that Xu Zong was killed by our people. However, the other people were absolutely not killed by our people.”
“Father.” Si Liu looked to his own father with a frown. The matter would be very troublesome once they admitted that they had killed Xu Zong.
Jin Fengughed out loud. “What a joke! Since you’ve admitted that Xu Zong was killed by your people, how could you not dare to admit that the remaining over a hundred people were also killed by your people? Si Xu, you ought to not be this sort of person.”
Suddenly, a clear voice sounded.
“Vige chief of the Golden Sun Vige, Xu Zong was nning to plunder my Golden Core and kill me when I was seriously injured. Only then did he get killed. As for the other people, I have never seen them.” Said Xiu Ya as she stared at Jin Feng.
“Little girl, do not interrupt when I haven’t ask you.” Jin Feng shot a cold nce at Xiu Ya. “Furthermore, don’t you dare go and insult the honor of a descendant of my Golden Sun Vige. The descendants of my Golden Sun Vige would rather die than do that sort of thing.”
Qin Yu who stood to the side merely lightlyughed in his heart. A man whose strength was merely around the level of a level nine Demon King actually dared to be this tyrannic.
“You are Jin Feng, right? That Xu Zong was killed by me. I can bear witness… the descent of your Golden Sun Vige, Xu Zong, indeed tried to take advantage of another person’s hard work and tried to kill Xiu Ya.” Said Qin Yu indifferently.
“Who are…” Jin Feng was about to shout and berate Qin Yu. However, when his gazended on Qin Yu, his expression slightly changed. Immediately, his manner changed greatly. Courteously, he said. “May I know who Your Lordship might be…?”
Upon hearing these words, the youths that were still disputing with Xiu Ya regarding Qin Yu earlier were all shocked. This was especially true for that blond haired girl. Unable to believe it, she said to Xiu Ya who stood beside her in a low voice. “A’Ya, is that Liu Xing truly that powerful? Even the vige chief of the Golden Sun Vige has to address him as Lord?”
“Lord Liu Xing is truly very powerful.” Said Xiu Ya with absolute certainty.
In the Dark Star Realm, people would usually address those who are stronger than them as ‘Lord.’ The people in the Dark Star Realm, whenpared with the people from the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realms, adored the strong even more. In the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realms, those with amazing backgrounds might be able to be respected and revered. However, in the Dark Star Realm, even if it was the son of one of the Three Sovereigns, he should still be looked down upon if he were too weak.
“This is Lord Liu Xing.” Said Si Xu. “Lord Liu Xing only recently arrived at my Mulberry Receiving Vige. He had saved Xiu Ya enroute. Jin Feng, could it be that you do not believe in what Lord Liu Xing has said?”
Jin Feng was immediately distressed.
For one, he was unable to sense Qin Yu at all with his soul’s strength. Thus, Qin Yu was at the very least at the same level of power as him. Secondly, Qin Yu was radiating an aura from his body. That kind of aura was something that only Emperor level experts possessed. Jin Feng had only sensed those kinds of auras before, when he met some Emperor level experts on the Thirty Six Trial Dark Stars.
“Jin Feng definitely would not dare to doubt what Lord Liu Xing has said. It’s just that, how else did the other hundred people die?” Jin Feng continued. “Furthermore, Xu Zong was amongst the same group as them. How was it possible that such a thing like what Lord Liu Xing said had happened?”
And at this moment, a middle aged man who stood beside Jin Feng raised his head and said. “Lord Liu Xing is extremely powerful and possesses majestic status. Your Lordship is someone that I should not doubt. It’s just that Xu Zong is a descendent of my Golden Sun Vige. At the very least, he ought to possess the dignity as a descendent of my Golden Sun Vige. The action that Your Lordship spoke of, I am unable to believe that those are things that Xu Zong would do.”
“One may know a person for a long time without understanding his true nature. Do you all understand this principle?” Said Qin Yu with a light smile.
These people from the Golden Sun Vige had indeed believed themselves to be infallible.
Qin Yu continued. “Furthermore, had it really been as you all had said and that the people of the Mulberry Receiving Vige had indeed killed your people, then since they’ve already disposed of the traces of a hundred people, why would they leave the corpse of this Xu Zong behind?”
Jin Feng and the rest of them Golden Sun vigers were dumbstruck.
That’s right. If over a hundred people’s corpse had disappeared, why would the corpse of Xu Zong remain?
“Furthermore, at the moment when I had arrived on the Deep Mulberry Star, I had once used my Soul’s Power to inspect the and discovered arge group of Metal Beasts surrounding over a hundred corpses. It’s just that I did not pay much attention to it back then. If my guess was correct, those people ought to be from your Golden Sun Vige.” Said Qin Yu indifferently.
In the Dark Star Realm, the people referred to things like Immortal Awareness and Demon Awareness as Soul’s Power as what is used to search was the Soul’s Power anyways. Thus, Qin Yu naturally referred his Immortal Awareness as ‘Soul’s Power.’
The expression of the people from the Golden Sun Vige changed.
Jin Feng said coldly. “Lord Liu Xing, you said that your Soul’s Power managed to discover arge amount of Golden Beasts surrounding and attacking a group of over a hundred people? In that case, why didn’t Your Lordship save my nsmen?”
“Save?” Qin Yu was startled.
He had never thought of saving!
This could not be med on Qin Yu. During the time when he wandered the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realms, when he used his Immortal Awareness to search on a, he would frequently discover hundreds and thousands of people fighting on the. How could Qin Yu possibly save each and every one of them?
After a long time, Qin Yu had grown ustomed to it.
When he arrived on the Deep Mulberry Star and used his Immortal Awareness to inspect the, he had already discovered several tens of battles happening. Could it be that Qin Yu really must go and save the weak? Save all of the weak from the urring battles?
If he were to save all of them from every single battle that urred, then he would’ve long since copsed during the moment when he was wandering the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realms.
“Who do you think me to be? Your Golden Sun Vige’s protector?” Said Qin Yu coldly. “When I wander the Dark Star Realm, how many battles do you think I discover on every I pass? Do you think that I am required to save the people from each and every battle?”
The group of people from the Golden Sun Vige were all stunned.
Merely, in their heart, they were angry. After all… Qin Yu once had the opportunity to save their people.
“That vige that’s being constructed right now around a hundred miles from here ought to be your Golden Sun Vige right?” Qin Yu suddenly said.
“Right.” Jin Feng replied.
Qin Yu lightly smiled and said. “Let me tell you all a thing. At this moment, there is arge herd of Metal Beasts. Their number is no less than a thousand. They are currently split into two groups, one from the front and one from behind, proceeding toward your vige.”
“Ah?” Jin Feng was startled. Immediately after, Jin Feng spread out his Soul’s Power and then lightly smiled. “A total of a little over a thousand Metal Beasts, although they are a bit hard to take care of, killing all of them is still possible.”
“Do not be too confident in yourself.” Said Qin Yu with a light smile.
Qin Yu had already discovered that this herd of Metal Beasts was still not at a frightening size. However… the leader of this herd of Metal Beasts was one of the strongest Metal Beasts on the entire Deep Mulberry Star… an Emperor level Metal Beast!
Jin Feng instead had apletely confident appearance. “Lord Liu Xing, could it be that you don’t know that the Metal Beasts are the targets that we people from the Dark Star Realm use to test ourselves? No matter what, it is impossible for them to extinguish our vige. At the very least, the Elder would not ignore it.”
“Oh?” Qin Yu said confused. “Targets to test yourselves?”
The vige chief of the Mulberry Receiving Vige, Si Xu, who stood to the side said to Qin Yu. “Lord Liu Xing, you might now know about this matter. This is what the Elder has told us. The reason why the Metal Beasts came to be, was for the purpose of helping our nsmen grow. However, all of the Metal Beasts are under the control of the Elder and will not endanger the safety of an entire vige.”
Qin Yu came to a realization.
Every ‘Elder’ of each Gravity Gathered were there to protect the, while monitoring what happens on it. They are there to prevent major catastrophes such as an entire vige being wiped out. After all, the poption of the Dark Star Realm was small to begin with.
“But the strength of your Elder is inferior to that Emperor level Metal Beast!” Thought Qin Yu in his heart.
The Elder’s Pce was located on top of a mountain peak of the Deep Mulberry Star. That Elder was indeed an Emperor level expert. However, when looking at his soul realm’s level, he was merelyparable to that of a level two Demon Emperor. That Emperor level Metal Beast, on the other hand, possessed the strength of a level four Demon Emperor!
That Elder was simply unable to detect that Emperor level Metal Beast. Thus, how would he protect them?
“As I have said, it’s best for you all to not be overly confident.” Said Qin Yu with a light smile.
This time, Jin Feng spoke to the group of people surrounding him. “Let’s return first. Although those thousand Metal Beasts or so cannot be considered catastrophic, if we do not return, then it’ll be somewhat hard for the remaining vigers to take them on.”
“Yes, vige chief.” Immediately after, those couple hundred people began to rapidly fly toward the direction of the Golden Sun Vige.
“Si Xu, follow me, we shall have a look.” Qin Yu suddenly said.
Qin Yu knew very well in his heart, that with merely the group of vigers from the Golden Sun Vige, whose strongest individual only possessed the strength of a level nine Demon King, it was simply impossible for them to take on that Metal Beast with a strengthparable to a level four Demon Emperor.
“Okay. I shall have a look as to how this Golden Sun Vige will deal with the Metal Beasts’ attack.” Said Si Xu as he nodded. Immediately after, Si Xu followed Qin Yu and proceeded toward the direction of the Golden Sun Vige.
Si Liu said to the surrounding vigers of the Mulberry Receiving Vige. “Everyone, return to your residences first. Currently, the herd of Metal Beasts is attacking the Golden Sun Vige. It might be possible for them to spread over to us. Everyone must be on alert.”
At this moment, Xiu Ya and the group of youths were discussing.
“A’Ya, how strong is that Lord Liu Xing? Earlier, I saw that our Vige Chief and the Vige Chief from the Golden Sun Vige, were both very respectful toward him.” That blond haired girl’s eyes were shining. “Could he be an Emperor level expert?”
Xiu Ya did not speak. Instead, she was looking to the direction that Qin Yu left toward.
“Si Xu, let me ask you a question. Usually, the Metal Beasts possess very low intelligence. What might be the reason for that? Could it be that all of the Metal Beasts possess very low intelligence?” Qin Yu asked in confusion.
Si Xu smiled and said. “Had Your Lordship been training on uninhabiteds?”
“That’s right.” Qin Yu knew that his question was somewhat stupid.
Si Xu nodded and said. “No wonder Your Lordship isn’t familiar with this. Metal Beasts are only born on the Origin Movements. All of the Metal Beasts are very powerful. However, for some unknown reason, they all possess a very low intelligence. But… once a Metal Beast reaches Emperor level, it develops an intelligenceparable to ours.”
“Emperor level?” Qin Yu understood everything now.
No wonder that herd of Metal Beasts cooperated so well when they charged into the Golden Sun Vige. It all made sense now.
“However, Emperor level Metal Beasts are extremely rare. While there are a lot of Metal Beasts that have reached the peak of King level, the number of Metal Beasts that have reached the Emperor level, is so small, that it’s frightening. Once they break through that gateway, they will be able to attain intelligence! Metal Beasts that do not possess intelligence are not scary at all. However, once they develop intelligence, even though the body of an Emperor level Metal Beast possesses merely twice the hardness whenpared to a peak King level Metal Beast, the difference between their strength is ten times or greater!” Si Xu said solemnly. “Even on the Sacred, there is an organization, the ‘Enforcement Squadron,’ specially created to search and kill some Emperor level Metal Beasts. The reason being, that an Emperor level Golden Beast could easily cause the entire poption of an Origin Movement Star to die out. At the very least, in the past hundred million years, there were already five Origin Movement Stars that have been annihted.”
Qin Yu smiled and said. “Had it not been for my arrival, then the Deep Mulberry Star would have been the sixth.”
Si Xu’s expression changed. “What Your Lordship means is… there’s an Emperor level Metal Beast here? Impossible! How did the Elder not manage to discover it?”
Qin Yu’s gaze was cast toward the Golden Sun Vige located not far away. “Elder? The Elder’s strength is merely around four star Emperor level or so. However, that Emperor level Metal Beast is roughly at seven star Emperor level! How would your Elder be able to discover it?”
