[Book 1-11] Stellar Transformation

Book 6 Chapter 15

B6C15: Death sentence

The Nine Demons Hall as a whole forms a Twelve Capital Gates Formation. 12 palaces have been built on the 12 eyes of the formation. Each palace has different structures such as gardens, courtyard houses, multi-story buildings, pavilions and so on. The 9 majesties live in 9 of the 12 palaces.

The other 3 palaces are Universal Palace, Treasure Storing Palace and Main Hall Palace.

At the moment, the Nine Demons Hall's remaining 7 majesties and Qin Yu are in the main hall. The 7 majesties sit down according to their respective orders with Di Long sitting on a raised platform in the main hall. Qin Yu is the only one who is standing.

With his back robe fluttering, he bows and says: "Greetings, great majesty and the other majesties. I am Qin Yu, the Blood-red Cave's master."

He then faces the majesties smilingly in an indifferent and moderate manner.

Because he is a prince's son, he has been used to seeing great things since he was a kid. These Nine Demons Hall's 7 majesties are powerful but their manners and appearances are not as splendid and sumptuous as mortal monarchs. After all, the number of Xiuyaoists is much smaller than the number of mortals.

"Qin Yu, I ask you, how did my 8th brother die?" Di Long looks down at him from the raised platform and asks.

Qin Yu says smilingly: "Great majesty, can you allow me to give a brief account of myself before talking about 8th majesty's death? If you listen to my story, you'll probably know everything." He says with confidence and composure.

The majesties on the lower end of the main hall are all somewhat impatient.

These majesties know very well that if they immediately grab Qin Yu and let that terror jellyfish guardian eat him, they can know everything. However, there is one disadvantage in doing so, that is, they will not be able to ascertain whether guardian Terror Jellyfish will tell them the truth or not.

"All right, go ahead." Di Long is in no hurry either.

Qin Yu nods his head then says: "Originally, after making some achievements in practice, I left my school with my brother Hou Fei. We then wandered about and arrived at the Blood-red Ridge, where there are a lot of Xiuyaoists."

"Your school?"

The 7 majesties, including Di Long, frown because most Xiuyaoists practice by themselves using techniques which are taught to them by their own clans and very few Xiuyaoists have a school. Therefore, how can they possibly not be startled after Qin Yu mentioned his school?

Qin Yu continues: "Later in the Blood-red Ridge, I fought and became acquainted with Cha Ge and became a guardian of the Blood-red Cave as well. I asked my master for instructions and my master also thought that I should cultivate myself in the Blood-red Cave and improve my social skills."

"However, afterwards ..." Qin Yu's eyes dim, as if he is recalling what happened that one day.

Di Long and the other majesties all become focused, knowing that Qin Yu's story has reached an important point.

"A fierce fight broke out between 8th majesty and cave master Cha Hong on the cave's underground secret floor. Cave master Cha Hong died in this fight and 8th majesty obtained the black jade case that Cha Hong had had to spend 100 years to open, and of course he obtained that 8th jade sword."

"There should have been a jade slip too, right?" Di Long suddenly asks.

"I don't know. My master didn't tell me exactly what there were inside the case." Qin Yu answers naturally. "But later a mysterious figure appeared all of a sudden and sneakily attack 8th majesty right away. The assailant was more powerful than him and used a sneak attack so he was killed on the spot."
