Chapter 757: Chapter 410: Secret Anecdotes

Chu Qing glanced at the invitation, his gaze lingering on Li Xianyi.

"Are you with the Treasures Tower?"

Li Xianyi smiled:

"I am fortunate to assist with some affairs of the Treasures Tower."

Chu Qing was speechless; the words sounded insincere.

However, this did explain why Li Xianyi was so wealthy.

People associated with the Treasures Tower would be the odd ones out if they weren’t wealthy.

With that thought, Chu Qing accepted the invitation, feeling its weight in his hand, a testament to its genuine material.

Just this invitation alone was more valuable than gold.

Whether it was the golden craftsmanship or its intrinsic value, it was enough to make people covet it.

No wonder Li Xianyi insisted on speaking privately...

"The Alliance Leader seeks the Treasures Tower, and now the invitation has been delivered. The Treasures Tower awaits your esteemed presence."

Li Xianyi clasped his fist in salute.

Chu Qing nodded slightly:

"Very well, I will surely visit then."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left.

Li Xianyi did not see him off; in fact, after completing this task, he left Immortal Cloud Manor immediately.

Chu Qing did not care whether he stayed or left, nor did he return to his room to rest but instead went to the dungeon.

The Profound Mechanism Armor had already been removed, and Zuo Huaifeng sat dejectedly in the corner of the dungeon, lifeless.

With a creak, the iron door opened. He lifted his gaze slightly, then let it fall again.

Chu Qing stepped in and sat down opposite him.

"Shall we talk?"

Chu Qing spoke softly.

"To meet the Alliance Leader again here, it seems you have won a great victory.

"From this point on, Lingbei will be under your rule.

"Congratulations."

Zuo Huaifeng looked up at Chu Qing, gave a slight salute.

Chu Qing smiled:

"No matter your sincerity, I accept your words.

"Zuo Huaifeng... let me ask you, do you know Chu Huai Feng?"

Zuo Huaifeng did not speak, and his expression remained unchanged, not a ripple in his eyes.

But after two or three breaths, he slowly opened his mouth:

"I don’t know him, but I’ve heard of him.

"Cold Corpse Chu Huaifeng... once wreaked havoc in the Martial World and was later hunted by the Righteous Path.

"Why does the Alliance Leader suddenly bring him up?"

"Because of the Profound Mechanism Armor."

Chu Qing spoke softly:

"The Profound Mechanism Armor is the masterpiece of your Profound Mystery Sect’s Mechanical Art. Logically, no one should be able to replicate it in this world.

"But I have seen Cold Corpse Chu Huai Feng, and on him, I saw armor very similar to your Profound Mechanism Armor.

"Moreover, on the body of an assassin from the Mirror of Sin, I discovered similar armor.

"Invulnerable, impervious to water and fire... although not as intricate as your Profound Mechanism Armor, in terms of protection, it’s comparable.

"How much do you know about this, Sect Leader Zuo?"

"The Alliance Leader asks how much I know, not whether I know... which implies that you’ve already concluded that what they wear is connected to me?"

Zuo Huaifeng shook his head:

"But the truth is, I don’t know."

Chu Qing sighed:

"Sect Leader Zuo, you had better think carefully before answering my question.

"You are a smart man, and you should understand the consequences of deceiving me."

Zuo Huaifeng’s pupils contracted sharply, and he looked fiercely at Chu Qing, but as soon as his gaze met Chu Qing’s, it changed:

"No, you wouldn’t...

"You still need him to stabilize the Profound Mystery Sect, and with its endorsement, you can fully control the Lingbei Martial World.

"So you wouldn’t kill him!

"Don’t try to fool me!!"

Chu Qing laughed upon hearing this:

"Indeed, I need Zuo Zhongtang, so I won’t act recklessly against him.

"But not act recklessly doesn’t mean can’t act.

"Zuo Huaifeng, you colluded with the Mirror of Sin, you’re already a man of injustice.

"The Profound Mystery Sect is implicated by you, and in the Lingbei Martial World, it’s already struggling to hold its head up.

"Whether the Profound Mystery Sect can survive, whether Zuo Zhongtang can hold his current position, depends solely on my will.

"Why do you think that if you disobey me, I wouldn’t find someone else to replace him in the future?

"Once he loses power, many would not wish for him to remain alive."

Zuo Huaifeng’s previous confidence began to waver, his face growing increasingly pale.

In Zuo Huaifeng’s view, Zuo Zhongtang was an unfilial son.

What he did for a woman was utterly absurd, completely lacking any of his own demeanor.

Yet... even if so, he is still his son in the end.

He easily chose to yield because Zuo Zhongtang could survive.

Now, like a fish on the chopping block, he was no longer in control... It could be said that the moment he admitted to colluding with the Mirror of Sin, all initiative had been handed over to Chu Qing.

From then on, whether it was him or Zuo Zhongtang, they could only act according to Chu Qing’s wishes.

Thinking of this, Zuo Huaifeng sighed:

"Not telling you... is actually for your own good.

"Although now you hold the prestigious position of Lingbei Martial Arts Alliance Leader, in front of that person, you’re still insignificant."

"The person you speak of..."

Chu Qing looked calmly at Zuo Huaifeng:

"Is it the current Martial Emperor — Li Juechen!?"

Zuo Huaifeng suddenly lifted his head, his face full of shock:

"You!"

Such a reaction explained everything.

Chu Qing sighed, decided to sit directly opposite Zuo Huaifeng:

"Tell me the specifics of this matter."

Zuo Huaifeng looked at Chu Qing with a complex gaze, only realizing this young man was far more unfathomable than he had imagined.
