Chapter 284: Chapter 282: Straight to the Point
"Mmm!..."
The Sect Leader’s eyes immediately widened in surprise, as if she wanted to say something, but right then...
What a coincidence—her small mouth was blocked.
She reacted swiftly, pushing Qin Yu away while retreating backwards.
But just at this moment...
"Rumble...!"
The entire main peak trembled violently once again, even more intensely than before, as if the heavens and earth themselves were about to be turned upside down.
And in this state, the Sect Leader toppled toward Qin Yu again.
This time, tears nearly spilled out of her eyes.
So, three hundred seventy-two words are hereby omitted.
...
Flames scattered sparks as if crimson threads, tangling the master and disciple in the pool together.
...

Qin Yu didn’t look at the flames, instead focusing on supporting the Sect Leader out of concern.
That was a step straight to the stomach just now...
Typo.
It was a scene of being one step in place.
Even watching left him with a pounding heart.
Afraid that the Sect Leader might be hurt, he didn’t think much and hurried to help her up.
However, the Sect Leader didn’t appreciate his help at all; she immediately pushed Qin Yu aside, turned away, and started coughing in embarrassment.
However.
It wasn’t of much use.
Because...()
"Master, are you alright?"
At this moment, Qin Yu wouldn’t dare act rashly. His concern was genuine—and after the earthquakes on the main peak, he realized that the Spiritual Qi around them was also becoming chaotic.
Clearly, something must have happened.
And it was no small matter.
But didn’t they say last time that such earthquakes only happened once every few hundred years?!
Why is it happening so frequently now?
The Sect Leader raised a hand, stopping him from approaching and automatically putting some distance between them.
Her face still carried disbelief and... shock!
Unbelievable!
Truly unbelievable...
How could something so absurd happen?
Ahhh!!!!
She coughed hard again, bringing tears to her eyes, but it didn’t help much.
"Boom...!"
Another earthquake struck, and not wanting the Sect Leader to be injured, Qin Yu stopped caring about other things and rushed to support her.
"Let go..."
She was about to scold him, but then saw Qin Yu’s serious expression. "Master, it seems something has happened."
The next second, the Sect Leader seemed to realize something, her expression changed drastically, and she shoved Qin Yu away, intending to leave.
"Master!"
Qin Yu, however, blocked her path.
Last time after the earthquake, the Sect Leader left and he didn’t know where she went, but when she returned, her injuries had gotten much worse.
She needed several days to recover then.
Clearly, whatever she’d done had not been simple.
Just now the Sect Leader had already expended Spiritual Power out of anger, so her strength was definitely weakened—Qin Yu naturally didn’t want to see her get hurt again.
"Move!"
The Sect Leader was stern and anxious—so much so that she couldn’t care about anything else.
"Master, even though your disciple doesn’t know what’s happening, you’re still not healed. Please let me go with you to handle it!"
Qin Yu was insistent.
No matter what, he couldn’t just watch and let the Sect Leader go alone.
"That’s the duty of the Sect Leader. You must move aside."
The Sect Leader grew more urgent.
The shaking continued, and the increasingly turbulent Spiritual Power made it clear things were almost out of control.
If anything went wrong, the entire Cyan Mountain Sect would be finished!
"Master, look at this!"
Qin Yu produced the Token given by the Hall Master.
When Luo Lizhu saw it back then, she was extremely shocked—clearly, this Token wasn’t ordinary.
"The Cyan Mist Order?!"
The Sect Leader stared at him in disbelief.
Even knowing the Hall Master was grooming Qin Yu, she had never thought the Hall Master would actually hand him the Cyan Mist Order.
With this Token, it was as if the Hall Master was present!
With it, Qin Yu could rally all cultivators of the Immortal Sects across the Ten Domains.
"Master, can you take me with you now?"
The Sect Leader frowned slightly, gazing at him with a complicated look. "That place... is very dangerous!"
Obviously, even now, she was still worried Qin Yu might be in danger.
"Master, don’t underestimate your disciple. In that Secret Realm, I even suppressed a Malice Spirit. Could anything there be fiercer than a Malice Spirit?"
Last time, after opening the Celestial Eye, Qin Yu vaguely sensed that there might be something suppressed beneath Cyan Mountain Sect as well.
Instantly, the Sect Leader’s eyes shone.
If Qin Yu could suppress even the Malice Spirit in the Secret Realm, then what’s beneath the Immortal Sect shouldn’t be a problem.
"Come with me!"
The master and disciple awkwardly turned their backs to each other to tidy up their clothes, then headed out together.
Yan Yu, though masked, had a grave look in his eyes. Yet, after seeing Qin Yu, he relaxed quite a bit.
Soon, the Sect Leader brought Qin Yu to a certain place.
This was the back mountain of the main peak—the forbidden area of Cyan Mountain Sect, accessible only to the Sect Leader.
Ahead was a stone door, looking unremarkable, but it stood out from the surroundings—there was no vegetation at all.
Before opening the stone door, the Sect Leader glanced at Yan Yu behind Qin Yu. She seemed about to say something, but Yan Yu spoke up first.
"Inside is the Array Hub sealing the Ancient Corpse!"
"My duty is to protect Qin Yu. You may do as you wish."
Seeing he was privy to this secret and time was tight, the Sect Leader said no more, pulling out an Array Plate and fitting it into the stone door.
As the door opened, the three entered one after another.
Inside was a tall platform, its surface covered with Array patterns, somewhat similar to the Star Prison Array in the Secret Realm.
But here, there weren’t one hundred and eight Ancient Steles.
This platform was more or less intact, but fissures marred its surface. Interweaving streams of red and black energy seeped from those cracks, spreading to other parts of the platform, causing the Array patterns to dim without luster.
Though things here didn’t seem as dire as in the Secret Realm, if allowed to continue, who knew when whatever was suppressed below would break free.
When that happens...
This would undoubtedly be an immense hidden danger!
Qin Yu frowned.
How could there be such a hidden peril within an Immortal Sect?!
He vaguely sensed it might not be just Cyan Mountain Sect—other Immortal Sects must have this, too.
Could it be... the existence of the Immortal Sects is precisely to suppress some Ancient Corpse beneath them?!
Or maybe, it’s to guard the Ancient Array.
If that’s the case...
Just the thought of that possibility made Qin Yu’s scalp tingle.
If so, then in this world, can any place truly be called safe?!
Moreover, these hidden dangers are almost everywhere, and if they erupt all at once, it may bring about a cataclysm.
