Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Bam!

Some who were more fainthearted instantly fell from the sky while most of them started running away in different directions.

However, the demonic spirit that surrounded them had now turned into countless thin arms, grabbing at the clothes of the cultivators and dragging them into the dark abyss.

Now that they had one less Cross Tribulation realm cultivator, it was complete chaos. Expecting their impending deaths, their eyes lost their glow as they were all overwhelmed with despair.

As the Kraken started chewing, it glared around and opened its mouth wide!

Instantly, a strong suction force came from its mouth like a tsunami, pulling in the cultivators. Azure Ville had been turned into hell!

Gu Changqing’s face turned pale and his eyes reddened. He spat out a mouthful of blood onto the red flag. He had used up all of his Spiritual Qi trying to salvage the situation. However, the flag had been engulfed by the black smoke and nothing else seemed to work.

Meanwhile, Zhou Dacheng’s face changed color as he cried out, “Saintess!”

The Holy Emperor was expecting his death. He held onto Luo Shiyu tightly. Along with Qin Manyun, they were getting closer to the mouth of the Kraken.

However, Qin Manyun’s surroundings started to glow faintly against the black smoke, as if shielded by some treasures. Yet, she was merely a Yuan Ying cultivator, so she, too, was sucked in by the Kraken.

Qin Manyun bit on her lip so hard that it started to bleed. Her eyes were filled with terror and unwillingness.

She did not want to die.

Especially...

She turned around to see its ugly mouth that was filled with sharp teeth. Tears started rolling down her cheeks. This was such a horrible way to die! It was not decent at all!

She then turned to look in the direction of the high tower. The lights in the Immortal Guest House had gone off as if everyone had fallen asleep, unaware of what was happening here.

The heavy rain continued to fall from the sky as the raindrops hit her face like bullets. There was also thunder and lightning from time to time. She wanted to kneel before the Immortal Guest House and beg for her life!

A dark whirlpool had emerged with the Kracken’s mouth as the center. Qin Manyun had arrived at the center of the whirlpool.

Suddenly, a glow shot out from her chest. Although it was not bright, it was eye-catching. It seemed to be the only source of light in this complete darkness.

Qin Manyun jolted slightly. She lowered her head to see the paper crane near her chest floating into the air, exuding a faint glow.

Swiftly after, the paper crane came out from her necklace. It flapped its wings and glowed like the only star in the night sky, making its way to the center of the whirlpool.

At this moment, it was as if the world froze. The rain became its backdrop as the paper crane gently flapped its wings in the air as if the rain had made it wobbly.

The Kraken whose mouth was open jolted in terror as its four eyes stared at the paper crane. It wore an expression that changed from a look of disbelief to a look of immense terror.

To everyone’s disbelief, it shut its mouth and turned away without hesitation. It retreated into the black hole as a cry of terror rang in everyone’s ears, “Why is there such a terrifying existence in this realm? This realm is too dangerous! I’m never coming back!”

The paper crane did not stop. It wobbled as if it could fall from the sky at any time as it chased the Kraken into the black hole.

In the next instant, the black hole gradually sealed back up while the black smoke vanished. Everything seemed to have returned to its normality. If it was not for the missing cultivators, everyone would have thought that it was merely a nightmare.

Gu Changqing stared at the black hole with his mouth wide open. He was perplexed.

How did this terrible disaster calm down in an instant?

He was unable to think. He felt like he had just gone from hell to heaven. It was like a dream!

Qin Manyun, Luo Shiyu, and the Holy Emperor sat on the ground. They exchanged looks of shock and terror with one another. Qin Manyun looked at her now empty necklace resting on her chest with lingering fear and confusion. If she had not played music for the expert the other night, and the expert was not pleased, he would not have given this paper crane to her. She would have died tonight!

A chess piece or a piece of trash was determined by one action. If the expert was pleased, one could be his chess piece but if the expert was offended, it would be trash!

Instantly, Qin Manyun had a deeper understanding. She thought of what her teacher said to her, ‘It’s our pleasure to be chosen as the chess pieces by the expert. We must please him and become his most important chess pieces’.

She did not quite understand what her teacher meant. Now she did.

Meanwhile, Gu Changqing and the other three Elders walked toward Qin Manyun. They bowed sincerely. “The entire Azure Ville would like to thank you for saving our lives.”

“You don’t have to thank me.” Qin Manyun said calmly, shaking her head as she was pulled back to reality. “You should thank the expert. Know that this paper crane was just a small trick that was simply folded by him.”

Simply folded?

Small trick?

Gu Changqing’s eyes widened. He could not believe his ears. He stuttered, “Are...are you serious?”

Qin Manyun looked at him. “Why would I lie to you?”

Gasp...

Gu Chagqing gasped. He felt his scalp itching and goosebumps all over him.

“This...this...this...” He trembled. He was unable to speak further.

A paper crane that was simply folded was able to force the Kraken into retreat and seal the entrance? What realm was that?

How could such an existence exist in the world?

He thought that Zhou Dacheng was making a big fuss when calling the expert a Saint, but now, he did not doubt it at all! He must definitely be a Saint!

So shocking and terrifying!

More importantly, he even doubted the expert’s ability! The thought of it gave him chills all over.

Damn it! He might as well have killed himself for that!

He felt uneasy and did not dare to breathe. He felt as if he had just walked out from hell and was now being sent right back into it.

Biting his tongue, he asked nervously, “Miss Qin, do you think... I still have a chance? Is it too late to become the expert’s chess piece?”

Qin Manyun shook her head. “I don’t know. Go and destroy the Liu Family first.”

Gu Changqing nodded hastily. “Of course, of course. It’d be my privilege to serve the expert. Please, allow me to serve him. I’ll do anything.”
