《Refining the Mountains and Rivers》Chapter 555A – Bai Xinyuan
Advertisement
It was under this sort of gaze that Qin Yu appeared. He didn’t glance at the Young Master Bai who seemed to want to overturn the heavens, but instead he looked at Tutou trapped in the cage. He frowned.
Tuba’s face was filled with slaughter intent. If it weren’t for the fact that he was scared of provoking unnecessary troubles for His Highness, he would have already rushed forward and trampled this bastard into a gooey mess.
“This is my person. Why is he imprisoned here?”
Bai Qizi furrowed his eyebrows. “Who are you?” He suddenly put on an enlightened expression, “Your Highness Holy Son. Haha, how amazing, I never thought you would come to my dwelling. What an honor that is!”
Qin Yu’s eyes were indifferent. “Answer my question.”
Bai Qizi’s boastful smile stiffened and his complexion paled a little. “If Your Highness Holy Son is asking me, I don’t dare to not respond. Yesterday, this vulgar fellow rushed in to take people and inexplicably came into conflict with us. This is really just a misunderstanding. Since this person is the Holy Son’s subordinate, then take him out and return him.”
The cage twisted and vanished. Tuba rushed ahead and lifted Tutou. As he checked him over, his eyes slowly turned red. These bastards had been heavy-handed; many of Tutou’s bones had been broken. Luckily there weren’t any life-threatening injuries.
Perhaps it was because his inner injuries were disturbed, but Tutou coughed out loud and opened his eyes. He had a shamed expression, “Your Highness, I have disgraced you.”
Qin Yu lifted his head. “Bring him away to rest.” He turned around, “There are two more people.”
Bai Qizi clenched his teeth. “Bring them out to His Highness!”
Duan San’er was in a relatively good condition; his face was only a little white. But Duan Jieyu was in a miserable state. She was lifted out on a stretcher, seemingly unaware of the world around her. Half her face was covered with fresh scars, the red and purple color especially fierce.
“Master, master you have returned!” Duan San’er fell to his knees and sobbed, “Master, please rescue Jieyu, please save her!”
Qin Yu frowned. “Who did this?”
Bai Qizi sneered. “Your Highness’ words are strange. These are my servants, so I handle them how I decide to handle them. Let alone ruining her face, even if I killed her that would be my own business. Your Highness has an honored status, but I fear that in this sort of matter there is nothing you can do.”
“This is clearly my master’s dwelling. You are all thieves!” Duan San’er roared out in anger.
Bai Qizi’s eyes were fierce. “You piece of trash, don’t forget that you are still my property right now; I can kill you whenever I want! Trash like you still dares to bark in front of their master!” He plastered a fake smile on his face and continued, “Of course, looking at His Highness Holy Son’s honor, I will leave you your dog life.”

Qin Yu said, “He is correct. This is my dwelling.”
Bai Qizi laughed. “Your Highness must have remembered incorrectly. Half a year ago this place was already transferred under the ownership of my name. Moreover, that included all servants that were part of this courtyard at the time.
“I want to remind Your Highness about something. The Demonic Path pays great attention to the protection of personal property of others. Your status may be high, but you should take this into consideration to avoid being spoken about behind the backs of others.”
Qin Yu was silent for several breaths of time. He suddenly said, “What’s your name?”
Bai Qizi cupped his hands together, “Since Your Highness has asked, I am Bai Qizi. Remember my name, because if there is an opportunity in the future, I will welcome you as a guest.” He cupped his hands together, making a gesture implying that he wasn’t planning on escorting him away.
His friends were truly shocked by this!
This bastard Bai, since when had he become so incredible? They didn’t recognize him at all.
Holy Son, this was the Hoy Son!
Although the last procedure was still missing and the influence of the Holy Son had waned because the throne of the Holy Palace had been empty for 100,000 years, his status still stood at the pinnacle of the Demonic Path.
It was said that on that day, even the Demon Envoy bowed…just what kind of honor was this? Although the little young masters were terrified and restless, they still felt respect and admiration towards this new side of Bai Qizi.
This surname Bai was truly epic!
Qin Yu’s voice was light, “I have no idea what you are relying on to be so rampant in front of me, but congratulations, you have succeeded in enraging me.”
Hai Lanlan’s heart skipped a beat. “Your Highness, don’t be impulsive…”
Before she finished, Qin Yu lifted a hand, interrupting her. His eyes were like ice-cold arrows. “I really am curious just what will happen after I kill him. If there really are waves, then let me take a good look at who plans on riding in and causing more trouble!”
Bai Qizi froze. This seemed to be completely different from how his father had described it would be like. This surname Yao didn’t seem to be putting on an act. “My father is a Blue Skies Yellow Springs Elder, the Calamity Immortal Bai Xinyuan. If Your Highness kills me, aren’t you afraid of provoking a disaster?”
Qin Yu suddenly chuckled. “No.”
He lifted a hand and grasped out.
Bang –
Space violently twisted, like a great mouth opening up and swallowing Bai Qizi within. The crisp sounds of breaking bones rang through the air, followed by a massive flower of blood splashing out.

Before being swallowed up by the space distortion, the despair and panic on Bai Qizi’s face didn’t escape Qin Yu’s eyes. It seemed like he was only a chess piece being pushed out…the son of a Calamity Immortal, this wasn’t a light move. It was clear from this that this person had considerably fierce methods. Now that he had killed Bai Qizi, he wanted to see just who planned on jumping out from the brush.
Within the Demonic Path, great waves were rising!
…
The pack of scoundrel friends who had been looking at Bai Qizi with the deepest admiration now looked like chickens that had been grabbed by the neck. Their mouths had dropped open and their eyes had gone perfectly round. Bai Qizi had died? He had died just like that? A loud rumbling crashed into everyone’s minds as an icy cold fear submerged them.
If even Bai Qizi who had a Calamity Immortal father had died like this, then what about useless cats and dogs like them? Those with less courage had already slumped to the floor, their bodies twitching as a sour stench came from their pants.
But Qin Yu didn’t care about them at all. Killing Bai Qizi alone was good enough; why did he need to give himself a reputation for being bloodthirsty and vicious? Moreover, these people hadn’t made things hard for him, and from this day, their days likely weren’t going to be any better.
Hai Lanlan bit her lips. Although her sense of reasoning told her that Qin Yu shouldn’t have done this, she felt much more admiration towards him. It had to be known that in this world, not everyone had this sort of boldness and courage. Hah, with things having come this far they could no longer turn back. She could only try to control the damage as much as she could to mitigate any potential fallout.
She took a step forward and said in a soft voice, “Your Highness, we should go back first.”
Qin Yu shook his head, “Wait a moment.”
Hai Lanlan opened her mouth but in the end she didn’t say anything. She had a faint understanding of Qin Yu’s character. Since he said this, he must have some idea in his heart. Although she felt restless about it, with Qin Yu’s status as the Holy Palace’s Holy Son, he shouldn’t be in danger.
She glanced towards the Tutou who was being held up by the True Demon Guards. The Lord Demon Envoy should have obtained the news by now. Once he caught up, everything would be fine.
But Hai Lanlan didn’t know that the young leader of these True Demon Guards was now deathly pale beneath his armor. After Qin Yu killed Bai Qizi he immediately knew that things wouldn’t be good, but no matter how many times he sent out a message, he didn’t obtain any response at all.
The scene was quiet. Qin Yu suddenly looked up. Space disintegrated as countless thick cracks spread outwards in the void. Bai Xinyuan walked out, his face grim and his body wreathed in dense killing intent.
“Who harmed my son?”
A deep roar mixed with pain sounded through the world like billowing thunderclaps. A terrifying aura covered the entire mountain peak. The countless curious cultivators surrounding the summit dwelling didn’t dare to approach. Their bodies froze and their faces paled as sweat streamed down them.
No one here was an idiot. They already knew from these words that His Highness the Holy Son had unexpectedly killed Bai Qizi. Did they not know who he was? Those people from the Blue Skies Yellow Springs were always the most overbearing types of all. This matter was going to result in a huge commotion!
The violent anger of a Calamity Immortal caused the world rules to tremble. Great waves rose in the void, as if they wanted to grind everything to dust.
Suddenly, a divine light shined around Qin Yu’s body and the Little Saint Robe directly appeared, shielding out all outside pressure. His furrowed eyebrows immediately returned to normal.
“I’m the one who killed Bai Qizi.”
Bai Xinyuan’s body froze. His angry face flushed red and blue veins popped up on his forehead. After several breaths of silence, he lowered himself and said, “Blue Skies Yellow Springs’ Bai Xinyuan greets His Highness the Holy Son. May I ask what mistake my son made that you needed to personally mete down such punishment against him?”
Qin Yu was without expression. “Bai Qizi offended me.” That was all he said, without much explanation at all. This was because Qin Yu knew that from the moment he killed Bai Qizi, he had already walked into their trap. If so, any further explanation was useless. He might as well directly state what happened.
The status of the Holy Son was venerated. To provoke his dignity was to die…this alone was enough!
Bai Xinyuan’s lips shivered. All sorts of emotions seemed to flash in his eyes. Surprise, fury, sorrow, dispiritedness, then in the end there was a deep calm.
He reared back his head and roared. The cultivation of a Calamity Immortal fully erupted. The unwillingness and bitter despair in his heart could be felt throughout the entire Demonic Path.

Dominion Expansion (a 4X LitRPG)
Clay is one of the world's top players of 4X games, a genre where the goal is to eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate. He's also one of the only players in the world to so stubbornly stick to the one city strategy, a favorite tactic of his that involves only ever using a single city or planet depending on the game's setting. All that matters to him is winning with his favorite strategy, but earning the respect of his fellow players for taking a sub-optimal strategy to its highest level has always been a nice bonus. And now it is because of his skill and entertaining determination that he has been chosen to represent a higher realm in a strategy game where the fate of Earth and dozens of other worlds are at stake. To the victor goes the spoils, and the spoils include entire worlds and billions of lives. That's how he ends up representing the ascended realm of Hell in a grand "game" between an entire pantheon of godly beings and other higher powers. But while it may just be a game to those overseeing it, it is a genuine war for survival to those participating in it where billions of real lives will go to the victor of whoever wins, and many will die before the game is over. Quick Author's Notes: System inspired by Civilization, Endless Legend, Stellaris, and Crusader Kings 2. Combat mechanics inspired by the Total War series. Slow-paced with many long-term plans. Protagonist has a personality heavily inspired by Ron Swanson. Know who that is and love him? You should like Clay. Know who Ron Swanson is and hate him? You'll probably hate Clay. Planning on writing every single day (turn). Days with important things happening will have the system/game mechanics be the priority of the chapter. Days where there isn't really anything important happening will be more slice-of-life and focused on character interactions. Designed a dice-based randomized map generator to create the world as the story goes on, so I don't even know myself exactly what's going to happen as a lot is dependent on world generation. Tech tree with hundreds of technologies already designed. There is a "harem," but it's not the main focus, the girls won't be cardboard cutouts, and I'm not going to completely forget about any previous women in the relationship whenever a new one comes along. One last thing. The "game" starts off with primitive technology level. The current plan is for the "endgame" tech level to be equivilent to WW2-era technology. After that and war just gets boring until you end up in space. Cover is temporary and made from royalty-free stock images while waiting for the real cover's commission to finish.
