79: Chapter 79 Acting on Behalf of Heaven? This Divine Child was just acting!

"Divine Son..." Han Yueli supported Qin Yu, a flash of keen insight flickering in her beautiful eyes.

What good acting.

Although Gu Changge's method of inciting the beast tide was subtle, it was practically running naked in front of a cheat like the System.

Safe? That was clearly the only dead zone within a hundred miles—Soul Severing Valley!

"Cough, cough!" Qin Yu violently clutched his chest, as if his internal injuries had been aggravated, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. (Acting)

"Go, listen to Brother Gu!"

"Retreat that way!"

Qin Yu feigned the appearance of being at the end of his rope. He pushed away a few Zhentian Army soldiers who wanted to come up to protect him, then dragged Han Yueli and stumbled toward the right.

...

Soul Severing Valley.

The valley was just as its name suggested.

The fog here was no longer gray, but permeated with a chilling, ghostly blue.

It was surrounded by mountains on three sides, all of which were ten-thousand-foot cliffs piercing the clouds.

The cliffs were carved with eerie array patterns capable of suppressing all flight-related Divine Abilities.

The only exit was the small path Qin Yu and the others had just run in from.

This was a true dead zone.

One could even say it was a natural, large-scale coffin.

"Hoo... hoo..." Qin Yu leaned against Han Yueli, panting heavily.

The Zhentian Army behind him hadn't followed him in, or rather, they had been forcibly scattered by that bizarre beast tide.

At this moment, only he and Han Yueli were here.

"Divine Son, they... are here." Han Yueli's expression tightened as she whispered a warning.

She could sense a dozen terrifying auras rapidly approaching the valley entrance.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu not only showed no panic but instead straightened his back, pulled a handkerchief from his bosom, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

His eyes instantly became incomparably clear.

He looked up at the full moon about to emerge from behind the dark clouds overhead.

Tonight, the moon was full.

"What a coincidence."

"This moonlight is truly beautiful."

Qin Yu sighed, then resumed his weak appearance.

"Shh." He raised a finger, a smile playing on his lips:

"Be patient."

"Smart people die from talking too much; that is an eternal truth."

"We have to give him a chance to deliver a speech. Otherwise, wouldn't his hard work over the past half-month, as well as This Divine Son's layout, go to waste?"

Step, step, step!

The sound of uniform footsteps echoed through the silent valley.

Gu Changge walked at the very front.

At this moment, he was spotless.

Where was the dishevelment from the struggle in the beast tide earlier?

He came with his hands behind his back, followed by eighteen masked men in black.

These eighteen people had auras like abysses; they were all, without exception, Peak Saints!

This was a grand gesture.

Besides these death warriors, many familiar faces stood beside Gu Changge.

They were all Prodigies who had cozied up to Qin Yu at the Gu Family banquet a few days ago.

Usually, when this group saw Qin Yu, they would fawn over him with sycophantic faces.

Today, however, they all held their heads high and chests out, as if attending some righteous enforcement assembly.

"Brother Qin." Gu Changge stopped ten zhang away.

He looked at Qin Yu, who was leaning against Han Yueli with a withered aura.

The smile in his eyes could no longer be hidden:

"Hahaha!"

"How is the scenery here?"

"This Soul Severing Valley is a geomantic treasure land I selected for you only after consulting countless ancient texts."

"Yin Qi gathers here, which is perfect for nourishing the Divine Soul."

"Brother Qin, since you enjoy toying with Divine Souls so much, you must be very satisfied with this place, right?"

Qin Yu struggled to lift his head, accompanying it with violent coughing sounds:

"Gu... Gu Changge!"

"How dare you plot against me?!"

"My Qin Family guards are right outside! If you touch me, the Qin Family will surely exterminate your entire clan!"

Hearing the words 'Qin Family', the few Prodigies following behind clearly trembled, their expressions changing slightly.

However, Gu Changge shook his head disdainfully.

"Qin Yu, oh Qin Yu."

"For all your lifetime of cleverness, how have you still not seen the situation clearly?"

"Guards?"

"Heh."

"They are probably still busy playing hide-and-seek with those beast kings right now."

Gu Changge approached step by step, his tone leisurely:

"As for exterminating my entire clan..."

He turned around and pointed at the few Prodigies behind him:

"You, Qin Yu, colluded with beings from the foreign realm, attempting to trap and kill the Prodigies of our Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."

"I, Gu, discovered the clues, and in order to uphold the Righteous Path and ensure the safety of the heavens, we are here today to execute justice for the greater good!"

"Everyone, am I right?"

"Right! Right, right, right!"

The Prodigies jumped out one after another, righteously accusing Qin Yu:

"I saw with my own eyes that he had Devilish Qi from the foreign realm on him!"

"I saw it too! He was the one who incited that beast tide just now!"

"Young Lord Gu is acting on behalf of Heaven!"

The group chattered, instantly sentencing Qin Yu to death.

They had even fabricated the charges.

It was a seamless connection, truly perfect.

Listening to their performance, Qin Yu almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Acting on behalf of Heaven?

Why did that sound so familiar?

It seemed the System had just praised him like that last night.

"Brother Gu..."

Qin Yu clutched his chest, a strange smile appearing on his face:

"I have to say, your script is well-written."

"You even found witnesses."

"But..."

"Did you never think..."

"What if."

"I'm talking about what if..."

Qin Yu slowly straightened his back, and that complexion, which had been pale as paper, flushed with color in an instant.

His aura also seamlessly transitioned from withered and listless to rising steadily like a volcanic eruption!

Boom!

The terrifying pressure of a Half-Step Quasi-Saint, carrying the violent aura of the Grandmist Tyrant Body, instantly swept across the entire Soul Severing Valley.

"What if..."

Qin Yu twisted his neck, emitting a series of cracking sounds.

"What if This Divine Son was just acting, playing with you?"

"You didn't take it seriously, did you?"
