The reason why the Red Peak Straits was named the way it is was probably because at the bottom of the sea, there were two mountain peaks that were formed from a bright red stone that had fire-like properties. Not only was it red, it also had a very high temperature. 

However, all the heat was within the stone and it did not transmit to the environment. That was why the sea waters were calm and not boiling. 

The top of the sea was covered in a layer of ice, but the bottom was lined with Red Fire Stone. Ice and fire coexisted in the same place. Before, Qin Yu did not think much of this, but after he learned about Black Turtle, he looked at his surroundings in a different light. 

The cold and heat were Yin and Yang properties. Using Yin and Yang, they slowly prolonged their lives. 

Qin Yu looked up for a long while before something flashed in his eyes…I found it!

Since Yin and Yang circulated, there had to be a center point. Black Turtle wanted to use a replacement body to prolong his life and he would be within the center point. 

Cang Zhu and her brother’s situation was entirely caused by Black Turtle. If he was dead, every problem would resolve itself. 

Of course, it would not be easy to kill Black Turtle. Otherwise the Dragon Saint would have done it long ago, burning him to ashes and ensuring he snored in the coffin. 

Don’t think about this, let’s meet this Black Turtle first. If he could kill Black Turtle, he would. Even if he could not, he could still test out his powers and make decisions again. 

For instance, he needed to figure out how to break apart the replacement body. If he couldn’t take them away forcefully, they might die.

Qin Yu turned and left. After some distance, he turned into Bitter City and jumped into the sky, heading to the center of Yin and Yang. 

A palace made of Red Fire Stone was built in the deepest portion of the cliffs. It was evident that this was where Black Turtle lived. 

Shoosh shoosh

When he got close to the palace, a few Sea Clan members came towards him and bowed, “Lord Bitter City, why are you here?” 

Qin Yu waved his sleeve and sternly said, “Move aside. I need to see Old Ancestor.” 

“This…”

“This concerns the security of the Red Peak Straits. If anything goes wrong, you guys will be held accountable!”

The few Sea Clan members’ hearts jumped and they quickly backed away to the side, “Lord Bitter City, please!” 

“Humph!” He grunted and flew in directly. His eyes were locked onto the area with the strongest aura. 

Without stopping, he quickly arrived at a strange palace. Half of the palace was white and the other half was black. 

The doors of the palace were shut and there were two strange sea beast statues. The sight of it made people shiver. 

“Bitter City, why are you here?” 

Qin Yu bowed, “Old Ancestor, I discovered a very important secret. I didn’t dare to delay any further so I rushed over.” 

There was silence. Then, the palace doors opened and Black Turtle’s voice came, “Come in.” 

“Yes.” 

Qin Yu flew into the hall, quickly scanning the surroundings. He soon noticed the Yin and Yang fishes on the floor. In the middle of it was a person. 

His first impression was that this person was very thin. Then, he noticed some old features. There was hardly any flesh left on his face and between the rough skin, he looked like a large block of wood that would very soon turn to dust. 

As expected, Black Turtle’s situation was bad. No wonder he did not leave here. 

Black Turtle looked at Qin Yu. Within his deep yellow eyes was greed, and it made people’s hearts jump. He said, “Tell me, what is it?” 

Qin Yu sighed deeply and acted nervously, “Old Ancestor, I found out that Eight Eyes is a traitor. It seems that he is being influenced by the siblings. I investigated and discovered that this seems to be related to the Lost Garden. I think Cang Zhu took something from there…” 

As he said this, he retrieved something. 

Black Turtle lifted his head, “Come, let me see it!” 

Qin Yu scoffed. You have lived for so many years and you are so cautious. But you still ended up falling for my trick.

“Yes.” 

He acknowledged this and carried the black item over quickly. 

This was just a random shell that he had picked up along the way. However, Qin Yu had channeled some innate spirit energy into it. 

This was not a waste because the shell’s quality was very bad and a little bit of strength could cause the inside to crack. Luckily, Black Turtle was so old, it seemed like he could not sense it. 

“Hurry, give it to me!” Anxiousness filled his face and excitement filled his eyes.

Qin Yu lifted his head and laughed, “Alright.” 

He threw a punch! 

Boom 

Black Turtle was not able to avoid the blow and he was thrown backwards. Blood poured out of his nose and mouth. 

“Who are you…” Black Turtle raged. 

With Qin Yu’s current strength level, the direct blow was strong. Even a True Saint from the shore would drop a few teeth and spit out blood! 

He took advantage of when Black Turtle was weak. Qin Yu stomped down and flew forward swiftly to throw another punch. 

A loud smash came and Qin Yu was thrown backward. He cursed under his breath. He was very tough indeed! 

A black turtle shell with numerous lines protected Black Turtle within and withstood the blow from Qin Yu. It did not appear damaged at all and the rebound made Qin Yu cry in pain. His bones felt sore. 

The soreness in his bones was not concerning but Qin Yu’s Rule System Body even felt pain. This was a testament to how strong the turtle shell was. 

Killing Old Turtle would solve the problem, but this did not seem possible. Qin Yu felt the hatred through the eyes in the shell and he chuckled, “Black Turtle, this will be it for today. We will meet again.” 

He turned and left without thinking twice.

Black Turtle roared angrily, “You come and go as you please. What do you think this place is?” 

Bam!

A strong force instantly exploded and sealed the space. However, Qin Yu threw a punch out and broke a hole upstairs. 

His body flashed and he heard the Sea Clan members move. He quickly killed everything in his path and disappeared without a trace. 

Bam! 

Thousand Saint walked out from the darkness; his low voice rang, “Brother Turtle, what is wrong?” 

Black Turtle shouted, “A True Saint barged into the Red Peak Straits, I was fooled by his scheme!”

Ptui 

He coughed out blood again. 

The moment the blood landed on the floor, it turned black and gave off a nasty smell. 

At the same time, black streaks appeared on Black Turtle’s body. He also started to give off a nasty odor that smelled like rotten meat left out. 

Black Turtle’s eyes were cold and he said, “Thousand Saint, we have to bring forward the plan. I can’t delay this any longer.” 

Thousand Saint frowned. Turning Black Turtle into a dark creature was already something that was very hard. It was possible that there would be a problem. 

Furthermore, there was another True Saint who infiltrated the Red Peak Straits. Who was this and what was his goal? 

“Brother Turtle, don’t worry and stay calm. We should first find that infiltrator. Otherwise, if that person causes trouble during a critical moment, the consequences would be unimaginable.” 

Black Turtle fell silent. He knew that Thousand Saint was right, but he was clear on his situation. The previous blow had almost completely drained all his life force. 

He could not wait any longer. 

Even if he knew of a True Saint hiding nearby, he had to take the risk. 

“Thousand Saint, I don’t have any more time.” Black Turtle slowly spoke, “I finally made all the preparations after so many years. I can’t fail at this last moment. I will definitely kill whoever that is!”
