Chapter 139 The Ghost Emperor’s Ban!
Chapter 139 The Ghost Emperor’s Ban!
Sang Qing clenched his teeth and made up his mind not to say another word to Chu Qing!
Chu Qing didn't seem to care. He poured himself a cup of tea and picked up the cup, turning it gently.
Just as they were looking at each other in silence, the door was opened with a creak.
Wen Fusheng walked in from outside. He had been listening outside for a while. When he looked at Chu Qing again, his face was full of defense.
This kid is really a bad guy.
The kind that is wilted and broken.
Chu Qing spread his hands:
“He’s not going to talk to me anymore, so now it’s the owner’s turn to take action.
"Let me see how powerful the Soul-piercing Finger is."
"Let's see."
Wen Fusheng came up to Sang Qing and said softly:
"If you can't bear it anymore, just tell me. As long as you speak honestly, you won't have to endure this pain anymore."
Sang Qing opened his eyes, glanced at Wen Fusheng, and sneered:
"I bother!"
Wen Fusheng is an experienced man in the world, and this little thing can't shake him at all.
He immediately smiled, pointed his finger at Sang Qing's brow.
The next moment, Sang Qing, who had a sneer on his face, suddenly widened his eyes, and felt as if thousands of steel needles and iron drills had pierced deep into his soul.
Intense and irresistible pain surged into every part of my body.
When Chu Qing saw Wen Fusheng's finger falling, Sang Qing's eyes suddenly widened, and then blood flowed from all seven orifices, and his whole body trembled continuously.
Not only amazed:
"That's a good trick, but be careful not to kill yourself."
"Don't worry, although the Soul-piercing Finger can cause unbearable pain, it is not easy to kill someone."
Wen Fusheng said:
"Nine times out of ten, they have all turned into lunatics."
"…It would be better to just die."
Chu Qing picked up the teacup, took a sip, and waited quietly.
But the wait was not long. After a moment, Sang Qing spoke in a trembling voice:
"Stop...stop..."
Wen Fusheng followed suit and took his fingers away as soon as he heard him speak.
At this moment, Sang Qing looked like he had just been pulled out of the water, sweating all over.
He looked at Wen Fusheng tremblingly, as if he was looking at the living devil of the world.
Finally, I took a deep breath:
"What do you want to know?"
"The layout inside Tianji Valley."
Chu Qing said:
“The more detailed the better.”
"…External traps cannot kill people, they can only injure people.
“There is a ditch under the Tianji Building that draws blood and gathers it into a pool… What is placed in the pool is the Tianmoyi.
“There are treasures placed in the Tianji Tower, and the people who were led into the valley killed each other.
"There is a hidden Huangquan powder on the mezzanine of the first floor ceiling. After both of them are defeated, we can use the mechanism on the second floor to drop the ceiling and sprinkle the Huangquan powder inside to kill all the fish that have escaped.
“In addition to the Tomb Prince and Shi Ye, there are three… three puppet corpses in the valley!
"And, and... two hundred days of evil cult disciples."
At this moment, Sang Qing told everything he knew.
"Is this the truth?"
Chu Qing looked at him quietly.
Sang Qing glanced at Wen Fusheng with fear on his face:
"I...I just want to die quickly."
"What is a puppet corpse?"
Wen Fusheng asked.
“That’s…that’s a toy that the Drama Prince gave to my Prince.
“They are made from dead bodies.
“Each of them is extremely powerful, not afraid of death or injury.
"If you insist on risking your life, you can exert great power."
Chu Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking of Dong Xingzhi from before.
This perfectly normal person, who was clearly dead, got up again...
Even though his body is defective, his power remains unchanged.
At that time, the chief elder of Feiyun Valley, the Iron-Armed Ape Hou Wenjing, underestimated Dong Xingzhi, the walking corpse, and thought that he could seriously injure him with one punch. However, he did not expect that not only was the man's injuries not affected at all, but he stretched out his hands and directly cut off Hou Wenjing's arms.
This gave the disciple from Tingtao Pavilion an opportunity to take advantage of.
Poor Hou Wenjing, who had such a great reputation throughout his life, ended up dying at the hands of an unknown little man.
Could it be that Dong Xingzhi is the puppet corpse?
Thinking of this, Chu Qing asked:
"How much do you know about that Drama Prince?"
"My Lord Xi...don't know much."
Sang Qing thought for a moment and said:
“I only know that each of the Twelve Holy Kings has his own strengths.
"The Prince of Play is a playful person who enjoys playing around in the secular world.
“His martial arts skill is called [Pulling Threads], but how to perform it is unknown.
"In addition... he has a kind personality and is said to have very good personal relationships with many of the Twelve Holy Kings."
Chu Qing nodded upon hearing this and asked:
"Then you should have a good understanding of your Tomb Prince Zang Hansheng."
Sang Qing's pupils shrank slightly, and cold sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead.
But I don't know what he thought of, and suddenly he laughed again:
“The Tomb Prince… The Tomb Prince is unfathomable.
“Even those of us who are close to him don’t know what kind of martial arts he practices or what abilities he has.
"What's worse, we haven't even seen his face."
"If I know correctly, you and Shi are both his guards.
"The guards don't know the master's true identity. Do you think I will believe this?"
“If you don’t believe me, there is nothing I can do.
“However, each of the Twelve Holy Kings is extraordinary, and our so-called guards are nothing more than tools for them to achieve their goals.
"How could we possibly know too much?"
This is not completely unconvincing, but things seem to become a little troublesome.
If even Sang Qing doesn't know the true identity of Zang Hansheng, then the person in Tianji Valley today... is it really the Tomb Prince himself?
If this person is just a substitute, then where should I go to find a real Tomb King to kill?
Chu Qing looked at the task prompt again.
[Triggering Commission: Killing Order! (Kill two guards and one king)]
【Do you want to receive it? 】
"It seems that the three words 'Zang Han Sheng' were not clearly written...
“Since what the old beggar said is true, then he should be targeting the two guards and one king in Tianji Valley.
“At least they are the two guards and one king in his understanding.
"As for whether it is the real Zang Hansheng, can you be more tolerant of this?"
Chu Qing touched his chin, feeling a little undecided for a moment.
This system is too difficult to figure out.
Previously, he felt that he had grasped some patterns, but was severely slapped in the face.
Now, my idea seems to be even more idealistic, and I don’t know whether the system will recognize it...
“But it doesn’t matter if they don’t admit it. The Tianxie Cult is very ambitious, and one day they will have a big fight with us.
“Even if we cannot kill Zang Hansheng today, sooner or later, we will become enemies with him.
"Killing him then will still complete the mission. Anyway... the mission has no deadline."
Thinking of this, Chu Qing put his mind at ease and chose to accept the task.
[Commission: Killing Order! ]
[Current progress: zero.]
[Task Reward 1: Choose one of the optional martial arts treasure chests.]
[Task Reward 2: One chance to upgrade the treasure chest.] [Currently available treasure chests: None.]
At first glance, it seems no different from last time.
But Chu Qing took a closer look and immediately discovered the difference.
“Two rewards?
"Upgrading the treasure chest... In other words, I can use this opportunity to upgrade the level of the martial arts I have obtained?
“Although it’s still random, are random things good?”
Chu Qing felt his breathing become a little rapid.
His system has always been simple and some parts are extremely casual.
But the triggered tasks are really quite tricky.
The previous killing order only selected a martial arts treasure chest.
There is an extra reward this time.
I just don't know if killing the 'two guards and one king' in Tianji Valley can complete this mission.
If not, you will probably have to work harder for it.
Just as I was thinking about this, I heard Wen Fusheng ask:
"Where did you get all the things in Tianji Valley?"
The question was asked in a general way. Chu Qing knew that what Wen Fusheng mainly wanted to know was where the Earth Scroll of the Bu Yi Heavenly Book was.
He needs to use this to save Wenrou's life.
Sang Qing glanced at Wen Fusheng with a strange expression:
“I didn’t expect that the owner of Luochen Villa would actually covet the treasure of Tianji Jushi…
“Where those things are now I don’t know.
"However, after they were taken out, we arranged for everyone to be sent to Xiaohan Valley."
"Xiaohan Valley?"
Wen Fusheng frowned:
"Lingbei Xiaohan Valley?"
The entire southern region is divided into two parts, north and south, by Tongtianling.
The area north of Tongtianling is called Lingbei.
The area south of Tongtianling is called Nanling.
As for why they were not called Nanling and Beiling, Chu Qing didn't know... It has been called that since ancient times.
Tongtian Ridge is mysterious and profound, and is a branch of Tianxuan Mountain.
Tianyi Gate, one of the five gates, is located at the foot of Tongtian Ridge.
It seems to be the gateway guarding Tongtian Ridge.
It is not that travel is impossible across Tongtianling, and the north and south are not cut off, but over the years not many people have been able to cross Tongtianling.
There are also many rumors about that area.
The biggest legend is that the Ghost Emperor Palace of Ghost Emperor Modo is located deep in Tongtian Ridge.
However, many people know about this place, but few have visited it.
No one would rashly go to the Ghost Emperor Palace and face the Ghost Emperor Modo...
However, Chu Qing was originally going to Tianyin Prefecture in Lingbei, so he had to go to Tongtianling.
Wen Fusheng's face turned ugly.
Chu Qing noticed that his expression was different, so he asked:
"what happened?"
Wen Fusheng shook his head and did not answer. Instead, he took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and said to Sang Qing:
"You explain the layout of Tianji Valley clearly, you talk and I will draw."
"……it is good."
Sang Qing had completely given up resistance and answered whatever Wen Fusheng asked him.
After he finished speaking, Wen Fusheng handed the finished drawing to Chu Qing:
"when to go?"
"Going right now."
Chu Qing glanced at the sky outside:
"This matter...cannot be delayed."
Wen Fusheng nodded:
"I'll make some preparations, and then we'll set off immediately... Si Ye!"
Si Ye pushed the door open and came in.
"Keep an eye on this person, don't let him make any mistakes."
"Yes."
Si Ye bowed and agreed.
Sang Qing was furious:
"You...you promised me that as long as I confess everything, you would let me die!"
"It is better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. Just make do with it for now. When it is your time to die, I will definitely give you a quick death."
Chu Qing waved at him and told him to relax.
"..."
For a moment, Sang Qing didn't know whether to be grateful or to curse.
This kind of comfort is really better off not having it.
Wen Fusheng didn't stop until he walked out of the yard.
Chu Qing guessed what he was thinking and said:
"Xiao Hangu, you're not going to ask me to help you make a trip, are you?"
"..."
Wen Fusheng's thoughts were interrupted by Chu Qing, who glanced at him with dissatisfaction:
"You still have evil intentions towards my daughter, so what's wrong with you helping me run a trip to Xiaohan Valley?"
"When have I ever had evil intentions towards her? No, when have I ever had evil intentions towards her?"
Chu Qing's face turned black.
"You have no evil intentions but you are still pulling strings. I have seen everything. Do you still dare to pretend to be ignorant?"
Wen Fusheng snorted:
"I'm telling you, you can't just walk away after taking advantage of my daughter.
"If you have the ability, just marry her. I will respect you as a man!"
"..."
Chu Qing rolled his eyes almost to the sky, too lazy to bother with him about this:
"Is there something wrong with you that prevents you from going?"
Wen Fusheng let out a breath, was silent for a while, took out a token from his sleeve and handed it to Chu Qing.
Chu Qing only took a glance, and his pupils shrank slightly:
"Ghost Emperor's Order?"
“The two gangs, three halls, five sects and one village are the largest forces in Nanling.
“However, looking at the entire Southern Region, the most powerful person is still the Ghost Emperor Modo.
“Three years ago, someone gave me this token.
"Tell me that I cannot leave Nanling in the next few years. This is the Ghost Emperor's ban.
“As for when the order would be lifted, the person did not tell us at the time.”
Wen Fusheng looked at Chu Qing:
“I’m afraid that this token is not just for me. The two gangs, three halls, five sects and one village have all received this ban.
"Therefore, in the past three years, people from all major forces have never crossed Tongtian Ridge."
Chu Qing touched his chin:
"Another three years ago?"
Three years ago...the Tianxie Cult began to take action.
Three years ago... Ghost Emperor Modo issued a ban to the leaders of all major forces.
I'm afraid this is not a coincidence.
The struggle between the Tianxie Cult and the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors should have started three years ago.
However, these things are not only unknown to ordinary people, but even people like Wen Fusheng don’t know them.
Chu Qing suddenly remembered the rumors he had heard in the past few days...
The Dark Emperor Shang Qiuyu disappeared, and the Ghost Emperor Modo headed south.
The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, who had not moved for many years, seemed to have undergone some subtle changes.
Then he thought of the old beggar again.
Although he speculated that this old beggar was not Shang Qiuyu, this person must be related to Shang Qiuyu.
Combined with what he once said, if the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors took action, more people would die in this world...
This made Chu Qing suspect that the existence of the Tianxie Cult had been known to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors since three years ago.
And since then, they have been fighting each other without anyone knowing.
Thinking of this, Chu Qing was about to speak when he suddenly heard the sound of clothes being ripped by the wind.
He and Wen Fusheng looked towards the source of the sound at the same time, and saw Si Chen in white clothes appearing in front of them with a serious expression:
“Manor Master, Third Young Master.
"The situation is not good...Rumors about the location of Tianji Valley suddenly spread in the village...Those people can't hold back anymore."
Chu Qing and Wen Fusheng looked at each other and spoke at the same time:
"The response is so fast!"
