Chapter 85: Hearing Tianxie Again
Chapter 85: Hearing Tianxie Again
This answer was not too surprising to Chu Qing.
After all, when I heard the young blacksmith's explanation, I already knew about this third in command of the Divine Sword Hall.
It's just that we can't easily convict people of crimes based on this, and we need further evidence.
Now that Jiang Shendao said in person that the man was Qi Guan, there should be no doubt about his identity.
But if there is one thing that is surprising, it is that he probably underestimated this Cloud Captor.
He was able to hide it from himself, Cao Qiupu and others and stole the Chaos Sword right under their noses.
The big boss seemed to be unable to believe and kept shaking his head:
"No, no! Impossible... If you are the old hall master, then who is in the Divine Sword Hall now?
"Why would the Third Master do this? And how could he lock you up here?"
"I dare to tell you the inside story. Do you dare to listen?"
There was a hint of gloom and ferocity in Jiang Shendao's voice.
"I……"
The big boss was stunned for a moment, then suddenly glanced at Chu Qing and said with a smile:
"I am already a dying man, what is there to be afraid of?"
"Oh?"
Jiang Shendao seemed to be interested:
"So, these two young men came to kill you? You finally got your comeuppance...
"I have long advised you that even if martial artists do not seek justice for the people, they should not slaughter them wantonly. Otherwise, one day someone will be unable to bear the consequences and come to you to settle all the accounts."
"You're right..."
The head of the family was in deep sorrow: "It's just that this guy slaughtered more than 400 people in Yinfeng Village just for a penny..."
"For a penny?"
Jiang Shendao was also a little surprised.
"What does it have to do with you?"
Chu Qing spoke lightly.
"interesting."
Jiang Shendao suddenly laughed out loud:
"Young man, you want to kill someone for money? If I give you money, are you willing to help me kill someone?"
Chu Qing asked:
"Who?"
"Pei Wuji of the Heavenly Evil Cult!"
[Trigger the commission: Assassinate Pei Wuji! ]
【Do you want to receive it? 】
Chu Qing silently looked at the prompt that appeared, but his heart was slightly shaken.
The Tianxie Cult...it's the Tianxie Cult again!
Yes, he should have thought of it earlier.
The extremely cruel Blood God Pill is the consistent style of the Tianxie Cult.
Chu Yan's Blood Demon Sutra is the same kind of stuff as this.
Fortunately, Chu Yan did not get the Blood God Pill, otherwise, the battle that night might not have been so smooth.
He thought in his heart and asked:
"Qi Guan locked you up here because of the Tianxie Cult?"
Jiang Shendao heard that he had no doubts about the three words "Tianxie Cult", and suddenly became excited again:
"You...you know about the Tianxie Cult!?"
If you don't know, you should ask for details. Chu Qing's words clearly show that he already knows something about the Tianxie Cult.
"I heard something."
Chu Qing said calmly:
"Now, could Hall Master Jiang tell me in detail the causes and consequences of this matter?
"I will consider whether to accept your order."
"Ha ha ha ha!!"
Jiang Shendao laughed again:
"Okay, okay, listen carefully...
"This happened three years ago. On that day, a man in black suddenly found me."
The time is right.
Three years ago, Luo Yutang arrived in Tianwu City.
Three years ago, the Tianxie Cult also came to the Divine Sword Hall.
Jiang Shendao said that the man who found him called himself Pei Wuji and told him that the purpose of his visit was to make the Shendao Hall submit to the Tianxie Cult.
Jiang Shendao was an arrogant person. He indeed founded the Shendao Hall at the age of 25.
After forty years of ups and downs in the martial arts world, how could the pride in his bones allow him to be inferior to others?
Even though the conditions proposed by Pei Wuji were very tempting, Jiang Shendao flatly refused.
The two of them had a disagreement and started fighting.
“That person is highly skilled in martial arts, and the method he used is an extremely powerful magic skill.
"I was not careful enough and fell for his evil trick. I was defeated..."
When Jiang Shendao said this, his voice was a little low, as if he felt embarrassed.
Chu Qing curled his lips. If he lost, he lost. He was still unaware of it...
“However, he did not kill me. Instead, he stretched out his hands and rubbed his cheeks in front of me. His appearance gradually changed as he rubbed his fingers.
"In just a quarter of an hour, he turned into this old man's appearance!!"
Jiang Shendao's voice was hoarse:
“It’s common to use the art of disguise when traveling around the world, but it’s rare to find someone so skilled in it.
“I thought that after he stole my identity, he would kill me.
“But I didn’t expect… the reason why he came to me was not for the Divine Sword Hall.
"It's for something else."
"what?"
The big boss was so fascinated by what he was saying that he couldn't help but ask a question.
Jiang Shendao slowly opened his mouth and uttered three words:
"Crying God Iron."
Chu Qing glanced at Wenrou and saw that she also looked confused.
They had never heard of it.
However, the moment Chu Qing heard these three words, he thought of the Chaos God Sword.
The little blacksmith holding the Chaos Sword once said.
The material they used to forge the Chaos God Sword was very strange.
And on the murals in the cave, there are also contents about smelting iron in a furnace...
Are these things really related?
His mind was full of thoughts, but his words were calm:
"What it is?"
"This is why you youngsters are so ignorant."
Jiang Shendao said in a conscientious tone:
"The Weeping God Iron is one of the 'Nine Treasures of Heaven and Earth'. Well, you youngsters probably don't even know what the Nine Treasures of Heaven and Earth are...
"Let's put it this way, the 'divine tree of Wutong', which is said to be the best tree for birds to roost in, is one of the nine treasures of heaven and earth.
"It's about the nine most wonderful and powerful treasures in the world.
“There are different opinions on this.
“Some people say these things were created before heaven and earth, and if you trace them back, they can be traced back to the ancient mythological period.
“Some people also say that this was created by our predecessors with great wisdom, and it benefits all living beings.
"However, there are still people who are certain that the Nine Treasures of Heaven and Earth is a huge scam. The objects are fictitious and are designed to lure people into the game and stir up bloodshed in order to achieve their ulterior motives."
"The last statement is false?"
Wenrou asked:
"Does the Weeping God Iron really exist?"
"exist."
Jiang Shendao said:
“However, it is difficult to verify whether the Nine Treasures of Heaven and Earth is a scam.
“After all, no one can collect all nine of these items.
"In the past, when Daqian unified the world, it was said that he once collected seven of the Nine Treasures of Heaven and Earth.
"I thought I could establish a kingdom that would last for thousands of years, but I didn't expect that it would bring about the disaster of destroying the country!" These words are somewhat horrifying.
Chu Qing frowned:
"The destruction of the Daqian Kingdom in the past was related to the Nine Treasures of Heaven and Earth? Is there any basis for this?"
"It's just rumors."
Jiang Shendao smiled and said:
"However, this rumor may not be false...
"After all, the collapse of Daqian in the past was bizarre.
"A dynasty with both great civil and military power was broken by a group of rabble-rousers, and even the emperor was dragged to the Meridian Gate and beheaded.
"It is a historical fact, but if someone who doesn't know about it hears it, wouldn't they think it is ridiculous?"
Ridiculous indeed.
Even Chu Qing, who had just traveled through time and integrated his memories, felt that this matter was too outrageous.
A dynasty that controlled all the military forces in the world, intimidated all directions and ruled the world, but it disappeared overnight.
But he still shook his head:
“Let’s talk about… the Weeping God Iron first.
"What the hell is that?"
"Well...how should I put it..."
Jiang Shendao pondered and said:
“If you leave this thing alone, it’s just a piece of iron.
“It’s just that it’s impervious to water and fire, and it can’t be worn away by anything.
“For people who don’t know martial arts, it has no effect.
“But if it is placed next to a martial artist, at first, one will sometimes hear crying coming from this thing.
“The sound was so faint that it seemed to reach the ninth heaven.
"The longer the time, the louder the sound, and it will start to shake your mind and give rise to distracting thoughts. Even if you are practicing the most advanced Xuanmen mental method, you will go astray.
“If it has come to this, I’m still unwilling to give it up.
“Then they will eventually be affected by this Weeping God Iron. How can mortals listen to the sound of God’s weeping?
"Those who have heard it have naturally become fools and idiots."
"So, this thing is useless? Why did the cult members look for it that day?"
The boss had been a spectator for a long time and couldn't help but ask.
"Who said it's useless..."
Jiang Shendao said calmly:
"If this thing is made into a weapon... then what?"
Having said this, he continued to narrate the story of that year.
Pei Wuji came to find him because he accidentally obtained the Weeping God Iron in the past.
The Tianxie Cult has found a way to forge the Weeping God Iron and wants to obtain it to forge magical weapons.
However, Jiang Shendao knew that the Weeping God Iron was extraordinary, so he was naturally unwilling to hand it over.
As the two sides were in a stalemate, he watched helplessly as Pei Wuji changed into his appearance, saying that his destiny was about to end, and allowing his disciples to fight for power and kill each other.
Jiang Shendao himself was subjected to various tricks by Pei Wuji and had an iron mask put on his head.
His purpose is nothing more than not wanting people to know his true identity, and Pei Wuji himself uses the excuse of "the end of his destiny" to hide behind the scenes and act secretly.
Qi Guan received his order and sent Jiang Shendao to Yinfeng Village.
It was also he who handed over the seeds that needed to be watered with human blood to Qi Guan, who arranged for the boss to plant them in Yinfeng Village.
He also promised the boss a life of prosperity and wealth, and promised him that as long as Yinfeng Village was still within the territory of the Divine Sword Hall, he would always be able to rest easy.
The big boss followed orders, which led to various tragedies and finally attracted Chu Qing.
"In the past few years... I have been pretending to be nice to them and enduring all kinds of torture.
“But he held on tight and never gave up the position of the Weeping God Iron.
“But I didn’t expect that they would find it anyway.
“And… the secret method of the Tianxie Cult is also real.
"Qi Guan came to me last night and told me that they had successfully forged the Chaos God Sword..."
Jiang Shendao clenched his fists tightly, and his voice became more and more hoarse:
“The reason why he didn’t kill me was because he wanted me to know that the Tianxie Cult cannot be resisted. Those who obey it will prosper, and those who resist it will perish.
“If you dare to disobey, your end will be miserable.
“Youngster… Pei Wuji must die no matter what.
“The chaos of the gods is ominous, and it may cause great disaster to the world!
"It must be completely destroyed, otherwise... the world will be in turmoil!"
As these words fell, the entire cell fell into dead silence.
Chu Qing was silent for a long time, then suddenly smiled:
"This trip to Yinfeng Village was really not in vain."
As he spoke, he drew his sword and with one sweep, the head of the eldest master fell to the ground.
【Commission completed! 】
[Successfully eradicated Yinfeng Village and obtained a 'Random Martial Arts Treasure Box'. ]
After taking a glance, I was too lazy to pay attention to this stingy system.
However, he was not in a hurry to accept the order proposed by Jiang Shendao.
Because there are some things he is not sure about, and some things need to be watched...
Jiang Shendao tilted his head, as if listening, and finally sighed:
"This is what he deserved."
After Chu Qing killed the boss, he came to Jiang Shendao.
As the blade swept past, there was a loud tinkling sound, accompanied by flashes of sparks.
Although the chains around were strong, they could not stop Chu Qing's internal strength and the blade.
But in a moment, Jiang Shendao fell to the ground with a plop, and was helped up by Chu Qing:
"Master Jiang, you have been living in a small house for too long, you should go out for a walk.
"I don't know where these things on you come from, so I won't remove them hastily."
"Thank you!"
Jiang Shendao borrowed Chu Qing's strength and slowly stood up. His legs trembled slightly, but he finally stood up successfully:
"I have thirty-six acupuncture needles on my body, which cannot be easily removed. Otherwise, I will become a cripple even if I don't die...
"Come to think of it, I haven't asked you your name yet, little brother?"
"A mean name is not worth mentioning."
Chu Qing said:
"Come on, let's go out."
He held the boss's head in one hand and winked at Wenrou.
Wenrou nodded slightly and walked in front. The two people followed him and walked out.
When I passed by the cell door where the women were imprisoned, they looked at me with eager anticipation.
Chu Qing ignored him and walked straight past.
The light in these women's eyes gradually dimmed, and they did not look away until Chu Qing and the other two disappeared completely.
After about a cup of tea, two girls came down carrying a pile of clothes.
After more than half an hour of hard work, everything underground was dug up, including gold, silver, jewelry, and magical weapons.
Chu Qing changed his knife. Although it was not a famous knife made by a famous artist, it was much better than the previous one.
The rescued women also gathered together.
Chu Qing looked at them with some worry.
Saving half of the people is actually no different from harming them.
But with so many people, it is difficult to send them home one by one...especially after asking, they all said they didn't want to go home.
They were not from the small town that Chu Qing and the others had seen.
They came from all directions, some of them passed by Yinfeng Village and were abducted to the mountains.
Some of them were captured by bandits who came down from the mountains of Yinfeng Village.
Almost all of their family members died at the hands of Yinfeng Village... In addition, they endured a lot of torture and inhuman treatment in Yinfeng Village.
Even if there are relatives at home, it is still unknown how they will be treated in the future.
Finally, they begged Chu Qing to let them stay in Yinfeng Village.
Fortunately, all the people here died, so they took over the nest and lived here from now on.
