afraid?
Chu Qing's expression became strange again.

Does this knife have its own thoughts and consciousness?
However, he really had no interest in this kind of weapon that seemed like a disaster.

Of course it doesn't matter.

What matters is the hint that comes to mind.

[Triggering Commission: Assassinate the culprit who caused the Qingxi Village tragedy. ]

【Do you want to receive it? 】

Chu Qing touched his chin.

This tip is very clever.

In fact, he felt the same as Cao Qiupu and Du Hanyan. Based on the young man's words, it was difficult to be completely sure that it was Qi Guan who did this.

So when he put forward this list, he used an ambiguous statement.

It didn't say to kill Qi Guan directly, but to kill the culprit.

As a result, the system directly implemented the task in this way.

Therefore, if he wanted to complete this commission, he had to first find out that the culprit was Qi Guan.

After a brief pause, Chu Qing chose to accept the mission.

I was a little speechless. It was obviously an extremely simple system, but it had so many fancy tricks.

Sometimes he is the culprit, sometimes he is the one who issued the execution order.

But if there is an order, we can't let it go. Breaking into Qingxi Village was an accident, but receiving the order was a pleasant surprise.

Chu Qing nodded slightly:

"Okay, it's settled."

The young man breathed a sigh of relief, holding the Chaos God Sword, some of his senses changed.

Among the group of people tonight, the one he feared the most was Chu Qing.

Next is Cao Qiupu, and finally Du Hanyan and Wenrou.

Because Wenrou had always been by Chu Qing's side, the first person he chose to kill was Du Hanyan.

Cao Qiupu intervened and the target changed.

Now, the person who frightened him the most had promised to avenge Qingxi Village. The breath of hope in his heart suddenly relaxed.

Chu Qing noticed that the young man's aura was weakening.

Knowing that he couldn't hold on any longer...

The Chaos God Sword backfired, leaving the half-human, half-ghost person with only a breath left. It was a miracle that he could survive until now.

Chu Qing sighed, looked at his eyes gradually closing, and slowly stood up.

Just as I was about to check my next reward, I heard a voice coming from not far away:

"I remember it was nearby, how come it's not here?"

The person who spoke was Du Hanyan.

Soon after, several figures gradually appeared. They were Cao Qiupu, Du Hanyan and several girls from Yanyu Tower.

Seeing that the young man had closed his eyes, Cao Qiupu's expression changed slightly. After going forward to check, he sighed:

"he died."

Chu Qing asked:
"The Chaos God Sword is missing?"

Du Hanyan nodded:
"Maybe it's too dark, let's look for it again with a torch.

"This weapon is strange and treacherous. I always feel that keeping it would be a disaster."

"keep the change."

A gentle voice came from the side.

Chu Qing then remembered that this girl had not made any movement for a long time.

He glanced at Wenrou:
"It was taken away by someone?"

"Ah."

Gentle nod:

"Just now I followed the smell of the knife, but the knife was getting farther and farther away from me.

"I chased him all the way to the edge of the village, but I didn't dare go any further."

Everyone was stunned again when they heard the words, especially Cao Qiupu and Du Hanyan, who somewhat did not understand Wenrou's words.

What does it mean to find it by following the smell?

What does that knife smell like?
However, no one blamed Wenrou for not continuing to chase. After all, the situation between the enemy and us was unpredictable, and there was a maze outside the village. If one rashly got involved in this situation, one would be in danger of life and death.

It's already very good to be able to come back safely.

Cao Qiupu frowned:
"Is it that person?"

Everyone understood who he was talking about, the person who left his palm print on the stone tablet but never showed up.

Chu Qing yawned:
“It doesn’t matter anymore. The Chaos God Sword has been taken away, so there shouldn’t be any weird things happening in this village for the time being.

"Rest first. We'll break the formation and leave early tomorrow morning, then we can talk about other things."

Cao Qiupu and Du Hanyan nodded when they heard this. They were not familiar with the situation here, so they had to proceed step by step.

If you have any ideas, you have to wait until you leave here first.

Du Hanyan was in a bad mood because a disciple from Yanyu Tower had died, and the remaining group of fellow sisters were crying.

But after returning to the main room, he did not see Dong Xingzhi and Dong Yubai.

Speculating that they must have gone in through the secret passage in the main hall, everyone hesitated for a moment and decided to go and check it out.

The three people who went in were Chu Qing, Cao Qiupu and Du Hanyan.

Wenrou and other female disciples from Yanyu Tower were waiting outside.

Taking the torches, the three of them stepped into the secret passage.

After coming in, the three of them were stunned.

This hall was built against the mountain, so no one had noticed that there was a secret room here.

“From the looks of it, there was originally a cave here.

"When the main hall was built, it just happened to be next to this cave, and they just added a secret door."

Cao Qiupu said something that both Chu Qing and Du Hanyan had noticed.

Chu Qing glanced at the bloodstains on the ground:
"It should be Dong Yubai's blood."

The remaining two nodded, and Chu Qing followed the blood trail.

The cave was not too deep and extended slightly downwards. Only a hundred steps into the cave, traces of human intervention appeared.

In front of me is a square stone chamber.

It can be vaguely seen that there seemed to be murals on these three stone walls, but now two of them are already blurred.

Only one mural remained, depicting a huge furnace.

Something glittering was burning in the furnace, and the raging flames burned half the sky red.

And in the stone chamber, there is a stone platform.

At this time, Dong Yubai was lying on the stone platform, and Dong Xingzhi was busy bandaging his chest wound.

Hearing footsteps and seeing the fire, he looked up in a hurry and saw Chu Qing and the other two. He heaved a sigh of relief:

"Three of you...are you coming in too?"

After being blocked before, Dong Xingzhi did not choose to break out, but took advantage of the opportunity when Chu Qing and others attracted the villagers, and quickly entered the secret room with Dong Yubai.

This is actually not a good idea.

If Chu Qing and his team cannot solve the troubles outside, these troubles will find them sooner or later.

Therefore, Dong Xingzhi's first reaction when he heard the footsteps was panic.

Only after confirming the identity of the person did I feel relieved.

Chu Qing and others ignored Dong Xingzhi, not because of any selfish motives at the critical moment.

This is human nature.

However, they had fought a lot outside, and it was normal for Dong Xingzhi's uncle and nephew to live in peace here and not have a good impression of them.

The three people looked at the surrounding situation carefully, and then looked at the stone platform where Dong Yubai was lying.

"Did you see anything after you came in?"

Chu Qing suddenly asked.

Dong Xingzhi immediately shook his head:
"No, there's nothing here."

"Oh."

Chu Qing nodded and said:
"The problem outside has been solved. This cave is not ventilated. Let's take him out."

"Good good."

Dong Xingzhi cupped his hands and said:
"Thanks for letting me know."

As he said this, he picked up Dong Yubai and walked out of the cave.

Chu Qing and the other two glanced at his back, and Du Hanyan said softly:
"He seems to be hiding something."

"If there is nothing, why hide it like this?" Cao Qiupu also raised the question.

Chu Qing stared at the mural on the wall and spoke slowly:
"I always feel that Qingxi Village is not simple."

Cao Qiupu laughed:
"Third brother is right, Qingxi Village is indeed not simple, but I'm afraid there is nothing to find out if we want to investigate.

“The world of Jianghu is like this. You will encounter and see anything you want. There are no fixed rules.

"By chance and coincidence, you will always see some amazing things. Amazing things, there are surprises everywhere, that's the way of the world."

Third brother...

Chu Qing frowned slightly, it was really unpleasant to hear.

"What Master Cao said is correct, but if the Third Young Master is interested, he can come to visit my Misty Rain Tower in the future."

Du Hanyan took the opportunity to make an invitation:
"We have tens of thousands of books in the Misty Rain Tower, and maybe there will be clues to this mural."

Chu Qing smiled dumbly:
“It’s just a casual remark, there’s no need to get to the bottom of it.

"Forget it. Even if there is something here, it has probably been taken away by the uncle and nephew of the Dong family. If you two are not interested in it, let's end it here tonight?"

One of the two men is a famous hero, and the other is a senior disciple of a famous and upright sect.

I'm really not interested in anything here.

During the casual chat, the matter was put aside.

When the three of them left the secret room, they saw Dong Xingzhi's uncle and nephew leaning against the side to rest. When they saw them come out, they looked at them nervously.

Seeing that the three of them didn't pay any attention to them, he breathed a sigh of relief.

There was nothing to say tonight, and everyone just went to rest.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the next morning.

The group walked out of the main hall. Du Hanyan led the way to the edge of Qingxi Village and asked Chu Qing and others to wait outside while she went deep into the maze alone.

After waiting for almost an hour, she finally came back.

"All right."

Du Hanyan looked at everyone and said with a smile.

Chu Qing looked around in surprise, feeling that not much had changed from before.

However, the eldest disciple of Yanyu Tower would definitely not do anything without a purpose, and immediately clasped his fists:

"Thank you Miss Du."

"Where are you going, Third Young Master?"

Du Hanyan asked casually.

"Send this girl of mine home."

Chu Qing glanced at Wenrou.

Du Hanyan was stunned for a moment. Does Cui Bunu, the disciple of the Bu Angry Fist, still need someone to escort him?
In other words, who has the ability to escort his disciples?
In my heart, I couldn't help but look up to Chu Qing again.

However, last night she proposed to invite Chu Qing to Yanyu Tower, but Chu Qing ignored her, so it was not easy for her to continue talking now.

Dong Xingzhi stepped forward, clasped his fists and said:

"Since the maze here has been broken, we uncle and nephew will go first."

"Are you two going to attend the Tianxia Yipin Conference?"

Chu Qing glanced at them.

Du Hanyan suddenly realized:

"So you two are also going to attend the Tianxia Yipin Conference. It just so happens that I was invited to this conference as well, so I brought my junior sisters here to see the world. If we have the same goal, why don't we go together?"

Dong Xingzhi waved his hand:

"No, no, Yu Bai is seriously injured, I'm afraid we can't go to the Tianxia First-Class Conference.

"I have to take him home right now. If anything happens to him, I won't be able to explain myself.

"Okay everyone, we'll meet again in the mountains and rivers, so let's say goodbye now."

After saying this, he hurried away carrying Dong Yubai on his back.

Du Hanyan took a deep look at Dong Xingzhi's back and shook her head:

"It seems that the things in this secret room are indeed extraordinary. I can even give up the Tianxia Yipin Conference..."

Chu Qing's gaze was strange. It was not on Dong Xingzhi's uncle and nephew, but glanced in another direction.

Then ask:
"What is this Tianxia Yipin Conference all about?"

Du Hanyan smiled:

“The Second Master of the Divine Sword Hall convened a world-class conference, and it is said that a world-class secret treasure has appeared.

“So we’ve sent out invitations to all the masters from all walks of life to come to the Divine Sword Hall to appreciate this treasure.

"And it is said that this treasure will be given to a destined person."

"Second in command..."

Upon hearing this, Chu Qing glanced at Qingxi Village. The third in command was Qi Guan, the 'Cloud Capturing Hand', and the second in command, if he remembered correctly, should be Luo Cheng, the 'Iron Step Mountain and River'.

The second in command and the third in command appear to be on good terms with each other but they are actually at odds with each other.

Although on the surface, they have a good relationship, in reality, it is not the case...

Now, all the other leaders involved in the internal strife in the Divine Sword Hall belong to their two factions.

It was these two who turned the Divine Sword Hall into the chaotic state it is today.

Qi Guan created a magic sword, and Luo Cheng created a world-class sword.

These two people really have all kinds of tricks.

"My Third Young Master, are you interested in attending this world's best conference?"

Du Hanyan took the opportunity to extend another invitation.

Chu Qing shook his head:
"Forget it. I have something important to do and I dare not delay."

Du Hanyan nodded, but did not force it:

"In that case, we will go ahead."

Not only do they have to go to the Divine Sword Hall, they also have to deal with the funeral affairs of their junior sister from the Misty Rain Tower.

"Okay, see you later."

"please."

After Du Hanyan said this, she led everyone away.

Chu Qing glanced at Cao Qiupu who was still standing here:

"Master Cao, you're not leaving?"

"Brother, just leave on your own."

Cao Qiupu said:
“I plan to bury all the bodies in Qingxi Village before leaving.

“Their plight is miserable, and their bodies cannot be left exposed in the wilderness.

"This place is remote, who knows if the person who buried the body will come... Instead of waiting, it's better to do it yourself."

Chu Qing clasped his fists and said:
"admire."

“I dare not, but it is what I can do.

"Third brother, you are a great martial artist. I was saved last night by you. If we meet again in the future, we should drink and chat happily."

Cao Qiupu clasped his fists and said:
"Then let's say goodbye."

"please."

Another farewell, Cao Qiupu took Bai Ge back to Qingxi Village.

After there was no one around, Wenrou suddenly asked:
"Really don't worry about it?"

"Other people's business has nothing to do with you and me."

Chu Qing shook his head:

"Do you still remember the smell of that knife?"

Nodded gently:

"I will never forget it."

Trina smiled.

The Chaos God Sword certainly couldn't be lost for no reason. Regardless of whether the person who took the sword was the one who left the palm print on the stone tablet, at least he knew Qingxi Village very well.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to hide so well under the noses of himself, Cao Qiupu and Du Hanyan.

This person must have an inseparable relationship with Qi Guan, or the person who caused the tragedy in Qingxi Village.

Of course we can't let this kind of person get away.

But if it were someone else in this situation, it would be really difficult to pursue her.

Fortunately, there is someone gentle by my side.

Chu Qing suddenly felt that this girl was really useful:

"Let's go find this knife."
