Rise of Humanity Chapter 257

Chapter 257 - Madness
Two girls appeared in front of the Seal Suppression Hall, one standing while the other in a wheelchair, they were both bright and cheerful young ladies; one of them was tender like the water while the other pure as the moon.
However, the "Brother Zhong" that was called out earlier did not come from the pure and naive Qiu Jin'er but the demon god that was disguised as Shui Qingyan, since Qiu Jin'er would only call him ‘senior martial brother.'
“Junior Martial Sister Jin’er, didn’t you legs recovered?” Zhong Yue was puzzled as he walked toward them.
Qiu Jin'er rolled her wooden wheelchair forward and said smilingly, "I can walk freely already. But I had a duel with Junior Martial Sister Shui, and she broke my legs by accident. I'm still recovering from the wound so I can only sit in the wheelchair for now."
Rays flashed in Zhong Yue's eyes as he looked over to ‘Shui Qingyan' beside them, he concealed his killing intent and gave them warm, bright smile, "What impressive strength, I wonder if you can break my legs?"
‘Shui Qingyan' was soft and tender like the water; her eyes were filled with affection as he said, "If there is a chance, I'd like to try."
Her heart stiffened as their eyes met, she could instantly feel the hidden killing intent in his eyes.
Zhong Yue crouched down and placed his hand on Qiu Jin'er's legs. He checked her bones as he was afraid that ‘Shui Qingyan' would play dirty tricks and break all of Qiu Jin'er's bones or even more, leave behind some hidden injuries in her body.
Qiu Jin'er's face blushed crimson red, and she thought, Grandmother Lu is not here, and senior martial brother is touching me, taking advantage of my injured body….
Just when her thoughts were running wild, Zhong Yue surged out his psyche and inspected her broken bones, wounded tendons, and injured muscles. Immediately, she realized that she had wronged Zhong Yue.
I initially thought that he was touching me randomly, who knew that he only intended to check on my wounds. Thankfully I didn't push him away. Otherwise, he would've known of my wild thoughts.
Qiu Jin'er's heart was touched, and she whispered to him, "Senior martial brother, it's nothing, it's just a small wound, Junior Martial Sister Shui is also wounded."
‘Shui Qingyan''s eyes starting to get watery and she said mournfully, "Brother Yue, I've injured my chest, Senior Martial Sister Qiu nearly pierced through my chest, even my heart was nearly taken down by her. Why don't you come and check on me as well?"
Nearly took down her heart? It seems like Junior Martial Sister Jin'er has already caught up to Tian Myriad Mother? En, it must due to the headmaster having taught the true quintessence of the【Great Boundless Sword Qi】to Junior Martial Sister Jin'er.
Zhong Yue knew it very well, the【Great Boundless Sword Qi】was the cultivation art of the first Swords Gate headmaster, it was a god-level cultivation technique on its own. Only the headmasters could cultivate it. However, because of Qiu Jin'er's weak body, the current headmaster had created a sword token with the intention of passing it to her, but from a twist of fate, the sword token landed in Zhong Yue's hands. He then learned the sword token of the【Great Boundless Sword Qi】 and taught it to Qiu Jin'er.
When they were going to the Xiao Mang Celestial Temple, the headmaster taught her the skills of the【Great Boundless Sword Qi】. During the time that Zhong Yue was not in Swords Gate, the headmaster had explained all the facets of the【Great Boundless Sword Qi】to her. That was why she could progress so quickly to eventually stand on par with Tian Myriad Mother.
"Brother Yue is not going to caress me?" ‘Shui Qingyan' rubbed her bountiful chest and lamented.
Zhong Yue lifted his head with a casual smile and said, "Sure, if you don't mind me doing that, why wouldn't I?"
He stepped forward and, immediately, ‘Shui Qingyan' recoiled back. She chuckled as she said, "Brother Yue, I'm afraid that you'll take advantage of me. If you caress my chest, then my heart will be taken away by you."
Zhong Yue was more than happy to crush this demon god and strip her wicked heart away from her; unfortunately, this demon refused to give him the chance to do so.
Tian Myriad Mother is still in Swords Gate, which means that the celestial messenger is still in play. Lei Hong's death is only a show he put up to fool the world and divert their focus. What a shame, even until his end, Lei Hong was oblivious to the fact that he was just a pawn on someone else's chessboard, Zhong Yue thought in his heart.
When Qiu Jin'er asked him why he was here, Zhong Yue explained to them that he had taken over Nan Qianfang's position as the hall master of Seal Suppression Hall. Upon hearing the news, anxiety gradually overtook ‘Shui Qingyan''s heart. She was initially aiming for the position, but Zhong Yue snatched it before she could do anything!
The celestial messenger still said that Nan Qianfang is already old. He was confident that he could let me take over her position. But now, it seems like the celestial messenger is still not as powerful as the headmaster!
Rays flashed in her eyes as she thought to herself, This old geezer of Swords gate, why did he send the Zhong Shan Clan member over? Did he find out anything?
Her heart undulated unceasingly, Zhong Yue was undoubtedly a trusted crony of the headmaster. The headmaster favored him a lot, even going so far as imparting him the【Great Boundless Sword Qi】. Although not the full cultivation technique, the sword totem patterns was still no trifling matter!
This Zhong Shan Clan member is half of the old geezer's disciple while Qiu Jin'er is his disciple, now, for him to send over one and a half of his disciple over here, clearly, he has honed his focus onto me so that I wouldn't be able to do anything!
Zhong Yue glanced at the girl, he conducted his sound directly into her ears and said, "I'm quite amazed that Junior Martial Sister Shui didn't leave."
‘Shui Qingyan' laughed gently, and she said, "Brother Yue is still in Swords Gate, so how could I be willing to leave."
The duo exchanged a look; they were grinding their teeth, contemplating a way to kill one another. While the concerned Qiu Jin'er was on the side asking on how Zhong Yue's closed-door training went. Zhong Yue only returned perfunctory answers as he was thinking of how to kill ‘Shui Qingyan' quietly.
‘Shui Qingyan' was smiling as she listened to Qiu Jin'er's questions, she suddenly smiled, "Brother Yue, there is also a Brother Yue in the East Barren called Long Yue. This Long Yue's name is now more famous than yours. I hear that he's killed over dozens of Atman Body experts; is Brother Yue going to challenge him?"
Zhong Yue's face turned dark; the others didn't know that ‘Long Yue' and ‘Zhong Yue' were both the same people, but this demon god knew that fact very well. She was clearly broaching the topic to threaten him!
This brat is giving me a warning, threatening that she will expose my identities if I don't follow her instructions.
Zhong Yue's brows raised, ‘Shui Qingyan' then transmitted to him, "Zhong Shan Clan member, I suppose you wouldn't want me to expose your little secret too, right? So just open the Seal Suppression Hall, let me take one thing, and I will be on my merry way, never to return to the Swords Gate or the Great Wilderness. I will also not help the Xiao Mang Celestial Race in their war against you humans! As long as you give me back what is mine!"
An idea came into Zhong Yue's heart, he nearly accepted her request, and suddenly, he thought of the Tian Myriad Mother being a demon god of the demon race, a race notorious for deceit. How could her words be trusted?
Furthermore, giving her what she wanted would only add to her strength, while he is left with nothing but her promise that she could renege on at any time.
I nearly trusted your words and fell into your trap.
Zhong Yue's eyes flashed, and he replied, "Alright then, junior martial sister, you want your mortal body right? Come and follow me into the Seal Suppression Hall then."
‘Shui Qingyan’’s eyes shifted and saw the rays that flashed across his eyes, her heart stiffened up and thought, He is trying to kill me in the Seal Suppression Hall!
"You'll bring my mortal body out from the Seal Suppression Hall and pass it over to me." she sent via mental transmission again.
She noticed!
Zhong Yue sighed, he ignored her and pushed the wooden wheelchair, leaving the place as he thought, Without Grandmother Lu following, this is a good chance to spend some time with Junior Martial Sister Jin’er, but her legs aren’t too well now….
The duo had not met for more than half a year, and now, as they were reunited, their hearts burned with flames. But they could do nothing but suppress it and maintain an appropriate distance of each other, only exchanging affectionate gazes through their eyes.
"Wah, this place is so beautiful, why didn't I realize it before?" Behind Zhong Yue, ‘Shui Qingyan' joyfully exclaimed and looked at the scenery before her.
Zhong Yue turned around and glared at her, but ‘Shui Qingyan' ignored it and continued following behind them.
As such, Zhong Yue's mood was destroyed, and he returned to the Seal Suppression Hall with Qiu Jin'er. Taking out the jade seal, he said musingly, " Junior martial sister, the seals outside are all fake, those things sealed in them are only corpses. The real Seal Suppression Hall is here. How can you not see the true Seal Suppression Hall as its deputy hall master? I'll open the real Seal Suppression Hall and give you a tour around, at the same time, we can clear out a few of the dead palaces."
“The real Seal Suppression Hall?”
Qiu Jin’er was curious, she said, “Did the Seal Suppression Hall have a fake and real one? Senior martial brother, what is a dead palace?”
"After the entities sealed in the palaces die, then it'll be a dead palace. They need to be cleared out so that the other entities can be sealed in it in the future when there is a need."
Zhong Yue looked over to ‘Shui Qingyan' and gave an ambiguous expression that looked like a smile yet not quite like one. He said, "Junior Martial Brother Shui, you are also a deputy hall master, you have the rights to look at the true Seal Suppression Hall, do you want to come along?"
I've disrupted his mood, and this brat is getting angry at me, he now wants to kill me in the Seal Suppression Hall already!'
‘Shui Qingyan' was getting anxious, only Zhong Yue could cast the jade seal, and this was her only chance to enter the Seal Suppression Hall. Even if she knew that he was trying to kill her in it, she could only grit her teeth and do as he said!
As long as I can sense my mortal body and make it break the seals, I can easily crush ten of him!
‘Shui Qingyan' gritted her teeth and said, "Of course I do, please, may Brother Yue lead the way."
Zhong Yue smiled and cast out the jade seal. The four beasts emerged and placed their claws on the mountain wall, the door creaked opened, and he invited the girls into the Seal Suppression Hall. He thought in his heart, "Even if I can't kill this demon god, I'll have to seal her away and stop her from coming out for the rest of her life! When we clear the dead palaces, I'll let this demon god go first, and once we are done, I'll seal her away in it!"
His killing intent flared up, and in his Yuan Shen secret realm, the golden feathery Peng Sword quivered in anticipation of being unleashed at any time.
The trio walked into the Seal Suppression Hall, Zhong Yue's smile brightened as he pushed the wooden chair while walking on the huge metal chain deeper into the Seal Suppression Hall as he introduced the entities sealed in the copper palaces.
Dong——
All of a sudden, one of the copper palaces shook violently as if there were a creature ramming at the door, trying to break off the seal!
Zhong Yue quickly looked over and was stunned to see that the copper palace was the one that contained the headmaster’s son, Feng Xiaozhong!
“You three little juniors, I can see you!”
The copper palace quaked even harder as the palace was continued to get rammed. A demonic voice came from within, and there was a face contorted in pain that emerged on the palace wall. His eyes rolled back and stared at the trio, saying, "Let me out! Let me you! I'll teach you three the strongest art, the secret technique I've developed from all my research! As long as you release me from this godforsaken cage, I'll also teach you the mystery behind the undying spirits!"
However, Zhong Yue turned away and said solemnly, “Ignore him, let’s go!”
“Hahahaha! You don’t realize it, do you?”
The face on the palace wall laughed hysterically like a madman. He said, "You don't see it yet, do you? The sixth wheel in our Yuan Shen ... Let me out, and I'll tell you the secrets of the six paths…."
