Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 1802 – A – Big Cleansing

“I object!”

Great Shaman Mengshan growled in a low voice, instantly attracting the gazes of many.

In the ancestral court, a commotion was arising.

“Silence!” Great Shaman Xuanyi yelled. He leaned forward and narrowed his eyes, “Mengshan, you were ordered to guard the western border; who let you come to the ancestral court without permission?”

“Hmph!” Great Shaman Mengshan scoffed, “As a Great Shaman from the Shaman Clan, I only listen to the Barbarian King’s orders. When did the ancestral court earn the right to restrict me and other Great Shamans?”

He glanced at everyone and said, “Everyone, it is I who did not return for many years. When did the ancestral court gain so much authority?”

Silence.

The Great Shamans were stirred, and many of them looked delighted.

In recent years, they had grown increasingly unhappy about the overbearing attitude of the ancestral court.

However, with the Barbarian King’s throne empty, the ancestral court temporarily held the highest authority. Furthermore, with the strength of Great Shaman Xuanyi and his lineage, they overpowered everyone and had gained control of the ancestral court.

No one dared to challenge them or fight against them.

Great Shaman Xuanyi’s face sank and he raised his scepter, “Mengshan, I am in charge of the ancestral court now and therefore I can temporarily take over the Barbarian King’s powers. Do you have any opinions about this?”

Great Shaman Mengshan shouted, “Yes, I do!”

He pointed his finger forward, “Earthfire is a Great Shaman of the Barbarian Clan. According to the rules of our clan, only His Majesty the Barbarian King is able to determine whether he lives or dies.

“Xuanyi, even if you hold the highest authority in the ancestral court, you are still not the Barbarian King. Killing a Great Shaman without permission is a desecration of the Barbarian King’s rights!”

Great Shaman Xuanyi’s scepter instantly erupted with light. “I, Great Shaman Xuanyi, as the highest authority in the ancestral court, pronounce that Great Shaman Mengshan was disrespectful towards the ancestral court. For this crime, I sentence him to be suppressed in the Black Prison for three hundred years!”

In the ancestral court, all of the Great Shamans’ faces changed.

Someone stood up and said, “Great Shaman Xuanyi, Mengshan’s crime was not that serious; your sentence is a bit too heavy.”

“That’s right, as Great Shamans of the Barbarian Clan, we are all vital pillars. How can we punish one of our own so heavily over such a trivial matter?”

“Great Shaman Xuanyi, please withdraw your sentence!”

Though it was Mengshan who was being sentenced today, in the future, they could be subject to the same thing.

Great Shaman Xuanyi scoffed, “All of you are so willing to support Mengshan. Does this mean that all of you are unhappy with my rule of the ancestral court?”

Everyone’s faces changed.

Boom –

The light produced from the scepter intensified. At this moment, the whole ancestral court was activated and a low rumbling could be heard coming from the depths of this huge mountain.

An invisible suppression power descended, wrapping all of the Great Shamans within.

“Great Shaman Xuanyi, what are you trying to do?” One Great Shaman yelled angrily.

Great Shaman Xuanyi was expressionless. “Today, I am going to mobilize the power of the ancestral court and suppress the heretics amongst the Great Shamans to establish the position and authority of the ancestral court.”

He glanced coldly at everyone and continued, “The Barbarian King’s throne is empty and the Barbarian Clan is left without a leader at the helm. This is the main reason why we have fallen into such a predicament today, where we are being suppressed and killed by the Desolate Area men. If I want to restore the Barbarian Clan to its former glory, the ancestral court needs complete power over the Barbarian Clan.

“I must kill Great Shaman Earthfire. Mengshan spoke rudely and he must be punished severely as well. If there is anyone else who has any other opinions, you may voice them now!”

Silence.

Almost all of the Great Shamans in the ancestral court felt extremely angered. They suddenly understood that the motive of the Trial Assembly today was not to kill Great Shaman Earthfire. Rather, it was an opportunity for the ancestral court to solidify their rule over them!

In the future, the Great Shamans would no longer be in power.

The ancestral court would hold all the power!

No one was happy about this, but who dared to object? This was the ancestral court where Great Shaman Xuanyi held the highest authority, and he was virtually invincible.

Furthermore, Xuanyi’s lineage had been in control of the ancestral court for many years. The guards around them were silent at this moment and they looked at the Grand Shamans coldly. This explained everything!

They were being weakened due to the suppression power coming from the ancestral court, so even if they tried to turn against the ancestral court, they would just end up being put down.

The whole ancestral court was silent!

“Very well!” Great Shaman Xuanyi looked thoroughly pleased. “Since there are no objections, the two decisions that I made previously will be effective immediately.”

“Hold on.”

Qin Yu walked into the ancestral court, looked at Great Shaman Mengshan, and said, “See, in the end, don’t you have to be tough to get what you want?”

Great Shaman Mengshan laughed bitterly, “Yes.”

Great Shaman Xuanyi frowned, “Who are you?”

There was a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

Because at this moment, he discovered, to his horror, that the ancestral court’s power was not able to suppress this person’s aura.

Or, more accurately, the ancestral court seemed to be in awe of this person.

It did not dare to go close to this person and even seemed to subjugate itself in front of him.

This was the first time something like this had happened!

Qin Yu waved his sleeve, and the suppression power of the ancestral court retreated like a tide.

All the Great Shamans that were gathered here widened their eyes abruptly and they looked extremely shocked.

All of them turned their heads to look as Qin Yu walked towards Great Shaman Xuanyi.

“Stay where you are!”

Anxiety suddenly rose in Great Shaman Xuanyi’s heart and the scepter in his hands started to glow.

However, when Qin Yu looked at the scepter, the light was instantly extinguished.

“Who exactly are you!” Great Shaman Xuanyi roared.

Qin Yu said blandly, “Mengshan?”

Great Shaman Mengshan, who had been released from the restraints of the ancestral court’s power, took a deep breath, glanced at everyone, and said, “Everyone, today, this person standing in front of you is the Barbarian Clan’s new king!”

One sentence to shake the entire world.

The ancestral court fell into chaos.

The Great Shamans stood up abruptly one after another, their eyes filled with shock and they looked deeply moved.

Barbarian King!

Great Shaman Xuanyi’s eyes narrowed and he screamed angrily, “Nonsense! If this is the Barbarian Clan’s new king, how would the ancestral court not be able to detect this…no, I know who you are, you’re Qin Yu from the Opening Heavens Sword Sect!”

He raised his scepter and continued, “Mengshan, the guts of you to bring an outsider into our ancestral court. You are committing a serious crime of colluding with the enemy!”

“That’s right, he is Qin Yu from the Opening Heavens Sword Sect.”

“I’ve seen his portrait before!”

“But…but why and how was he able to dispel the suppression power of the ancestral court?”

Qin Yu said, “I am indeed Qin Yu, but at the same time, I am also the new king of the Barbarian Clan!”

This sentence caused the whole Barbarian Clan ancestral court to tremble violently.

Boom, boom –

It was as if there was a vast amount of energy that exploded from within, but it was being forcibly suppressed.

Puff –

Great Shaman Xuanyi coughed out fresh blood and his face looked deathly pale.

Qin Yu’s cold gaze landed on Xuanyi and said, “Great Shaman Xuanyi, you’re truly clever! By restraining the ancestral court’s power and trying to forcibly refine it, are you trying to commit treason?”

“Ah!”

All of the Great Shamans gasped in shock.

Great Shaman Xuanyi howled angrily, “Stop slandering me, I don’t know what methods you’re using to control the ancestral court’s power, but by pretending to be the Barbarian King, it is an unforgivable sin that you’re committing!

“Someone, come and suppress Qin Yu!”

Boom –

Boom –

A powerful aura erupted and six Great Shamans in the ancestral court took action at the same time. These Great Shamans were all born in the same lineage as Xuanyi.

“Hmph!” Qin Yu scoffed. Those six Great Shamans that were charging towards him suddenly went pale and spat out fresh blood from their mouths.

“Mengshan, these people were trying to attack your king. Under the Barbarian Clan’s laws, how should they be punished?”

Great Shaman Mengshan replied respectfully, “Their crime is punishable by death!”

“Good.”

Qin Yu raised his hand.

“No!”

These six Great Shamans screamed out in fear at the same time.

In the next moment, their heads blew up. Red and white substances splashed everywhere.

With just one blow, Great Shaman Xuanyi’s foundations that enabled him to gain control of the ancestral court vanished into thin air.

Great Shaman Mengshan looked like he was about to burst into tears. “Qin Yu!”

Yet, his heart was filled with fear. He no longer had any doubts about Qin Yu’s identity.

If he were not the Barbarian King, how would he be able to control the lives and deaths of all barbarians?

One blow and he directly wiped out six Great Shamans!

Since Qin Yu did not hesitate to kill six of them, naturally, he was capable of getting rid of Xuanyi as well.
