Chapter 722: Chapter 392: Gathering Together (Part 2)

"I believe you can definitely investigate this matter thoroughly, and I also believe the Profound Mystery Sect has nothing to do with the Mirror of Sin."

Zuo Zhongtang took a deep breath, knowing that what Cheng Xiao said made sense.

However, he couldn’t make such a determination or decision.

Chu Qing thought, it wasn’t really Zuo Zhongtang’s fault, in his place, he also couldn’t make such a decision and commitment.

However, Chu Qing would beat the person opposite him to death...

Unfortunately, Zuo Zhongtang couldn’t defeat him and could only let him have his way.

Without waiting for Zuo Zhongtang to say anything more, Cheng Xiao spoke up:

"Please, my lord, take action."

"Alright."

Chu Qing nodded, and with a single palm turning in the void, clouds gathered immediately, transforming into water between his palms, and then forming thin ice.

With a wave of his hand, the thin ice struck the three acupoints of Cheng Xiao’s shoulder and neck, Qimen and Zhongfu.

Zuo Zhongtang hurriedly looked towards Cheng Xiao:

"How do you feel?"

Cheng Xiao felt it for a moment, then shook his head:

"It’s cool, but I don’t feel anything unusual."

"At this moment, there’s no reaction, nothing unusual."

Chu Qing smiled and said:

"This thing is called the Life and Death Talisman; once planted, life and death are beyond one’s control.

When it activates, it itches unbearably, gnawing at your heart and corroding your bones.

Even if you scratch your flesh to the bone, it won’t relieve the itch.

Making one wish for death by crashing into the wall.

You may think I am exaggerating, but I advise you not to try easily, or else, you bear the consequences yourself."

Cheng Xiao’s face turned slightly pale, and Zuo Zhongtang quickly said:

"I will definitely find evidence to convince the Third Young Master. By then, I hope the Third Young Master will keep his promise to remove this Life and Death Talisman from Xiao Xiao."

"Alright."

Chu Qing nodded:

"I’m not a good person, but I do keep my word.

Alright, go do what you need to do, and I will have the people of the Profound Mystery Sect released.

Of course, except Jiang Qianliu."

"Thank you."

Zuo Zhongtang clasped his fists in gratitude, then supported Cheng Xiao away.

These two probably have a lot to talk about. Chu Qing was actually quite curious about what they would say later... Would they ask Cheng Xiao what he did with Ashu during that time?

But judging from tonight, the two should not have gotten carried away yet.

Of course, judging by Zuo Zhongtang’s demeanor, even if they really did something, he would probably choose to forgive.

Chu Qing shook his head lightly, feeling that it was a muddled account.

Zuo Zhongtang had sweet ideas, unwilling to use his life-saving grace to demand repayment, hoping Cheng Xiao would fancy him as a person, not for his past grace.

This idea isn’t wrong... The problem is that Ashu had already appeared before.

If he truly liked someone, he should strive and vie for it, rather than silently exuding charisma, hoping that Cheng Xiao would fancy him while having affection for someone else.

If Cheng Xiao really did that, it would make her seem two-timing...

Even if they married later, when she meets someone with better martial arts than Zuo Zhongtang, better looks, stronger background, higher charisma... Would she be attracted?

Would she not adhere to the marriage agreement and fancy someone else?

So, sometimes, you need to speak up and can’t hold back.

You should strive and vie when necessary.

Their biggest problem was a misunderstanding, everything would be fine if they talked it through, but they just didn’t.

Silently enduring, then self-moved in the whirlpool of despair.

Chu Qing didn’t know what else to say besides concluding, ’They’re out of their minds.’

Luckily, between him and Wu Qianhuan, there were no such entanglements.

However, if it were him, he would have just punched Ashu to death, dug a pit, and buried him, giving Ashu no chance at all.

After a series of crazy complaints, Chu Qing temporarily put aside the affairs between these two.

He returned to the dungeon.

Firstly instructing the disciples of Celestial Sound Mansion to release the people of the Profound Mystery Sect.

Then went to find Jiang Qianliu.

When Jiang Qianliu saw Chu Qing, a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes; his first question was:

"What exactly did you give me to drink?"

Chu Qing didn’t respond, just went over, squatted down, took his wrist, then raised an eyebrow.

Jiang Qianliu’s martial arts had long been abolished, but at this moment, there was true qi inside him.

But because his dantian sea of qi was broken, the true qi couldn’t be stored, wandering through his limbs and bones at that moment.

It seemed it wouldn’t dissipate for a while.

He glanced at Jiang Qianliu, suddenly chuckled:

"Congratulations, you won’t die anytime soon."

"What?"

Jiang Qianliu was stunned, unsure whether to be happy or sad.

He understood that although he wouldn’t die anytime soon, they definitely wouldn’t let him live in peace.

He really wanted to know what Chu Qing had given him to drink... why, with a broken sea of qi, inner strength could still grow.

But Chu Qing didn’t want to say another word to him and left directly.

Indeed, Chu Qing had let Jiang Qianliu drink from the Heaven and Earth Four Directions Vase.

Instead of going through the trouble of finding a suitable person, it was better to let Jiang Qianliu try it out.

Besides, it was only after completing this task that he thought of deceiving Zuo Zhongtang a bit.

Now, there’s no need to bother with Zuo Zhongtang’s matters, just wait for his news.

As for Jiang Qianliu...

The changes in his body didn’t make Chu Qing feel assured, but rather more uneasy.

With a broken dantian sea of qi, inner strength shouldn’t grow.

The inner strength from the extraordinary treasures should dissipate quickly for lack of a storage place.

But Jiang Qianliu’s inner strength hadn’t disappeared... This feeling was peculiar.

He needed to look further.

The Nine Treasures of Heaven and Earth, despite being treasures, were actually quite sinister.

Be it God’s Tears Iron or Celestial Demon Robe, or this Heaven and Earth Four Directions Vase, they weren’t easy to deal with.

Ning Wufang’s one-sided words were not enough to trust.

Not a single word from the Celestial Evil Cult’s messages could be trusted...

...

...

The next two days were calm.

Celestial Evil Cult had no movements, and none of the spies had brought back new intelligence.

This was not a good sign.

Chu Qing felt that the General might have a big move planned.

So he had Liu Zhaonian prepare.

The momentum of the Heroes’ Conference was significant, gathering the Nine Great Forces of Lingbei Martial World in one place, not only integrating Lingbei’s forces but also presenting a golden opportunity for Celestial Evil Cult to wipe out Lingbei’s martial forces.

Hence, they needed to guard against any situation where, during the conference, the General might lead the Celestial Evil Cult disciples in a huge mountain raid.

Meanwhile, Yao Tai Sect and Thousand Flowers Sect also arrived.

The ones who came from Profound Mystery Sect were originally led by Zuo Zhongtang, but after some twists, they all left Immortal Cloud Mountain. It was said that the Profound Mystery Sect’s Sect Leader was on his way and would make it to the conference by the next morning at the latest.

By then, out of the nine great forces, except for three that were annihilated, the remaining six were about to fully gather.

At the same time, another piece of news spread within Immortal Cloud Manor.

A peerless expert, no weaker than the Third Young Master, had arrived at Immortal Cloud Manor... preparing to join the Heroes’ Conference.

This person called himself the Night Emperor, and was an assassin.

This news spread and invigorated people.

The Third Young Master’s fame rose initially in South Ridge; although people in Lingbei heard of it, they didn’t take it seriously.

Not until the Celestial Melody City battle did they realize his prowess.

Now, with the Night Emperor appearing in Lingbei, rumored to have martial skills no weaker than the Third Young Master... they might have a better grasp against the General.

Yet, since he was an assassin and wouldn’t act without interest.

Inviting him to take action might come with an unknown price.

Of course, before that, the most crucial thing was how to meet this Night Emperor!
