Chapter 324 Big Plan
Chapter 324 Big Plan
That night, the crescent moon was like a hook, hidden behind the clouds, with only a small tip showing.
The glow of the flames rose in the shadows of the trees.
Next to the flames, two people were lying side by side.
Han Qiuze, there is another... dead person.
Han Qiuze was still alive of course, but he felt that he would probably die soon.
Otherwise, if he had captured his own people, why would he put himself together with a dead person?
During this journey, he thought of many ways to save himself. He tried to use his inner strength to break through the acupoints that were controlled by Chu Qing, and he also tried to use rhetoric to make Chu Qing give up.
But obviously, none of these methods worked.
Chu Qing refused to listen and turned a deaf ear to his words.
It was not until nightfall that they finally stopped.
Then I started to collect firewood, make fire and cook...
They were lying here with a corpse, as if they were the next ones to be put on the chopping board and put into the pot.
He didn't know how long the body had been dead, but he guessed it couldn't be too long.
Otherwise it would have stink long ago...but at this moment, there was no smell of corpse.
The waiting was very painful, but Han Qiuze had been acupunctured, so even if he had something to say, he couldn't open his mouth.
He could only watch the scenes happening around him but could do nothing.
Finally, after eating the last bite of food, Chu Qing came to him.
He held a rope in his hand. Han Qiuze watched him tie the rope to his hair, wrap it around the branch, and then with a burst of severe pain, he was pulled up from the ground.
Finally he secured the rope and came to his front.
"Let's talk?"
Chu Qing spoke with a gentle voice, as if they were just old friends reuniting and temporarily reminiscing about their past.
After saying this, Chu Qing also reached out and untied Han Qiuze's acupoints.
Now life and death are in Chu Qing's hands. Han Qiuze knows very well that he cannot anger him, so he forces a smile:
"What do you want to talk about?"
"How about we talk about what you guys think?"
Chu Qing smiled and said:
“As one of the three prefectures, three sects and three schools, the Star-Splitting Prefecture is already high above the rest and is the top existence in the entire Lingbei region.
"Why on earth do you have to collude with the Tianxie Cult?
"Why is it that you are willing to destroy the entire Xiangshanhai clan in order to get that golden cup?
"What's the use of that thing?"
Han Qiuze's pupils shrank for a moment, but he didn't know which of the two questions it was because of. He looked at Chu Qing and said in a deep voice:
“The Star-Splitting Mansion has never colluded with the Heavenly Evil Cult!
"It was the Tianyin Mansion that colluded with the Tianxie Cult and murdered fellow martial artists!"
"Nonsense!"
Liu Qingyan became furious upon hearing this and stood up and wanted to shout.
Chu Qing waved her hand, asking her to be patient, then looked at Han Qiuze and said softly:
"Why hide it now? Han Qiuyuan has already told me about your collusion with the Tianxie Cult.
“Do you think that I will believe it now that you deny it?
"This will not help your life, but will only make you suffer more."
When Han Qiuze heard the three words "Han Qiuyuan", his expression changed:
"You...what did you do to him?"
"Just killed him."
Chu Qing spoke softly:
"After all, you still have the blood debt of Xiangshanhai on your shoulders, and I promised to help Xiangshanhai pay off this blood feud."
A trace of pain flashed in Han Qiuze's eyes, and then he laughed miserably:
"You can kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you.
“But if you want to slander my Han family for colluding with the Tianxie Cult, that’s wishful thinking!!”
"What a man of steel."
Chu Qing nodded, and the next moment, he turned his palm, and the yin and yang energies appeared between his eyebrows, on his forehead, and on both sides of his temples. Then he brought his palm down and hit Han Qiuze's Baihui acupoint.
Han Qiuze's whole body was shaken. He thought Chu Qing was angry and wanted to kill him with a palm.
But unexpectedly, this palm strike did not have the power to destroy everything, but was accompanied by indescribable intense pain, which spread throughout the body in an instant.
The shrill screams suddenly resounded in all directions.
Just seeing this made Su Ning shudder subconsciously. Wu Qianhuan and Wen Rou were already used to this.
Liu Qingyan looked at Chu Qing, then looked at Han Qiuze who was tied up and tortured. For a moment, she couldn't tell which one was the villain.
Looking at the whole process, it was obvious that the Liexing Mansion colluded with the Tianxie Cult to frame the Tianyin Mansion.
But when they met Chu Qing, the Liexing Mansion, which was supposed to be an image of a fierce villain, became a lamb to be slaughtered. Not only did they not show any villain demeanor, but they also heard just as many miserable howls.
Tragic endings are everywhere.
This shrill scream lasted for a full cup of tea.
Han Qiuze was already bleeding from all seven orifices, his mind was in a daze, and he had been tortured beyond recognition.
Chu Qing just let go of her hand at this time, and her gentle voice once again reached Han Qiuze's ears:
"My Xuantian Black Gold Palm is the most tiring. It only took a cup of tea. If I had controlled the strength well, you would have screamed for the whole night before you died completely...
"I secretly estimated that my internal strength is not bad, and it is not difficult to support a night without sleep. Why don't we compete to see who can withstand it more?"
"don't want……"
Han Qiuze spoke hurriedly:
"I'll tell you... I'll tell you everything, I just ask you to give me a quick death!!"
"Then let's talk."
Chu Qing said:
"Why on earth did you collude with the Tianxie Cult?"
"Because... because the Tianxie Cult will eventually rule the world one day!!"
Han Qiuze raised his eyes and looked at Chu Qing. The blood oozing from his eye sockets stained his eyes, making them also glow with blood:
"By then... my Star Splitting Mansion will no longer be just one of the nine major ones in Lingbei.
"Looking at the world, he is a high-ranking official!
“I dare not say, I dare not say that I am second to none, but I can still soar into the clouds, and my future... is limitless!!”
Chu Qing frowned slightly:
"Do you believe in the Tianxie Cult so much?"
"Ha ha ha ha!!!"
Han Qiuze seemed to have gone crazy:
“I naturally believe that the Tianxie Cult is unfathomable and far beyond the imagination of ordinary people in the martial arts world.
“Even the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors…can’t compete with him!!
"It's only a matter of time before we unify the world...
"Don't think that just because you are good at martial arts, you can compete with the Tianxie Cult.
"One day, you will also prostrate yourself under the might of the Heavenly Evil Cult and end up in a miserable end!!!"
"Okay, I'll wait for this day to come."
Chu Qing smiled and did not engage in a meaningless verbal dispute with him. Instead, he continued to ask: "Does the destruction of the Duan family have anything to do with you?"
"...The Duan family was exterminated by our Liexing Mansion and the Tianxie Cult two months ago."
"Two months ago?"
Chu Qing frowned slightly. This was not unexpected.
The Duan family was just a hook, and their purpose was to frame the Tianyin Mansion.
It itself is not important... Even if it is not the Duan family, there may be the Song family or the Wang family. In the final analysis, the key is that on the day of the Xiaohan Valley event, someone must show up and frame the Tianyin Mansion with a blood letter.
As for whether this blood letter was written by the patriarch of the Duan family or the patriarch of the Song family, it doesn’t matter.
What made Chu Qing frown was that if the Duan family was destroyed two months ago, why was there no news at all in the martial arts world?
This means that someone must have hidden this matter.
Are these people still with the Duan family?
You Zong went to the Duan family alone to check, I wonder if there will be any problems?
As soon as this thought flashed through my mind, I put it aside for the time being.
He was unable to handle what was happening at the Duan family's place now, and since You Zong had the reputation of "mastering all the nine stars in the sky", even if there were really people lying in ambush at the Duan family's place, they might not be able to do anything to this old man of the world.
Even if he is defeated, with his ability, if he wants to run, no one can stop him.
Thinking of this, Chu Qing temporarily suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and asked in a deep voice:
"What is the purpose of the Tianxie Cult framing the Tianyin Mansion?"
this point is very important!
After all, Tianyin Mansion is just one of the three mansions, three sects and three schools. The Tianxie Cult can collude with Liexing Mansion, but it seems unnecessary to go to such great lengths to deal with Tianyin Mansion...
Unless they have a deeper purpose.
Han Qiuze raised his eyes and met Chu Qing's eyes when he heard this, and suddenly laughed:
“What is the purpose?
"The purpose is naturally to disturb the stagnant water in Lingbei!
“The three prefectures, three gates and three sects are deeply rooted. If we want to dismantle this deeply rooted structure at the lowest cost, we naturally have to use some extraordinary means.
“People will know that Tianyin Mansion is colluding with Tianxie Cult.
“Han Yiren from Xiaohan Valley led many martial arts masters to Tianyin Mansion to demand accountability.
"In order to maintain the dignity of the three prefectures, our Liexing Mansion and Liaoyuan Mansion naturally have to go...
“Then we will find out that Tianyin Mansion is indeed colluding with Tianxie Cult, and first we will capture Han Yiren and other scattered soldiers and vagrants.
“When they were still trying to erase everything, they were discovered by my Star-Splitting Mansion.
“At that time, it would be natural for Liexing Mansion and Liaoyuan Mansion to join forces to destroy Tianyin Mansion.
“Even though the Tianyin Palace has great magical powers, it is difficult to resist the two palaces joining forces.
"After the Tianyin Mansion is destroyed, Liaoyuan Mansion will also be severely damaged...
“By then, we will not be a match for our Star Splitting Mansion and the Heavenly Evil Cult.
"After this battle, two of the three prefectures will be destroyed, and our Star-Splitting Prefecture will be the only one in power!"
Liu Qingyan felt cold all over when she heard this...their plan seemed to be natural and fantastic.
After all, if one wants to kill the group of people who went to Tianyin Mansion to hold Yu Xiaohan Gu accountable, one has to avoid the eyes and ears of Tianyin Mansion. If one is not careful, the situation will be reversed.
But the problem is that Han Yiren’s stance on this matter itself is problematic.
Now this group of people is temporarily led by Han Yiren.
A few casual words from him could turn the whole situation around... Once the people from Liexing Mansion succeeded in framing them again, Tianyin Mansion would never be able to clear its name.
She gritted her teeth and said:
"What a cruel and vicious plot! But aren't you afraid of inviting a wolf into your house? When the three houses are fighting and suffering heavy casualties, you will be swallowed up by the Heavenly Evil Cult?"
"Not afraid!"
Han Qiuze said without thinking:
"Because my Star-Splitting Mansion still has value!
“Only one family is left in the three prefectures, and the structure is broken. How can the three sects and three schools be happy to see this?
“When the situation in Lingbei collapses, naturally someone will come looking for trouble… but anyone who makes any unusual moves will become a target of the Tianxie Cult.
“I will kill anyone who moves, and by that time, the fact that my Liexing Mansion is cooperating with the Tianxie Cult will certainly not be hidden from the Lingbei martial arts world.
“But even without relying on the Tianxie Cult, my Star-Splitting Mansion would have the power to contend with it.
“What’s more, we have the assistance of the Tianxie Cult.
"The real purpose is revealed. We will sweep across the north of the mountain and take over half of the southern region!!"
After saying this, Han Qiuze's eyes were empty and he laughed miserably:
“Kill me… I’ve told you everything you want to ask.
"Even if you don't kill me, I won't be able to survive."
The whole matter is of great importance and involves the entire Lingbei martial arts world. The Tianxie Cult and the Han family have outlined such a big chess game, but Han Qiuze has revealed it all.
Even if Chu Qing released him today, the Tianxie Cult and the Han family would not tolerate him.
But for Han Qiuze, he no longer cares about the future.
As the saying goes, after I die, why would I care about the flood?
Even if the plans of the Han family and the Tianxie Cult collapsed because of this, what did it have to do with a dying man like him?
Chu Qing gently pinched his brows and murmured two words:
"eccentric……"
Han Qiuze was puzzled:
"I've told you everything you asked, so what's so weird about that?"
"That's what's so strange about it."
Chu Qing looked at Han Qiuze:
“I have had many dealings with the Tianxie Cult. They have great powers and their actions are always flawless.
“Now Han Qiujun and the Ouyang family have rushed to Tianyin Mansion, leaving you alone to look after the house… but this is a matter of urgency, and you know so many things, there is no way they would let you be captured by me like this.
“I am ready tonight to welcome the masters of the Tianxie Cult.
"But until now, you have revealed all your plans, and no one has come out to stop you...
"Isn't this strange?"
Han Qiuze was stunned, but felt that Chu Qing's suspicion was unprecedented in his life.
Things developed according to his wishes, but he was not satisfied.
Instead, I feel that something is weird and wrong… Must I be obstructed time and again for it to be considered reasonable?
While thinking this in his heart, Chu Qing had already realized that something was wrong.
Although it is not yet officially spring, little lives are already stirring, and the forest is not completely silent... But at this moment, the surroundings are strangely quiet.
His ears twitched slightly and he smiled softly:
"So it turns out that a master has come. He only noticed it now. Since you are here, why don't you show yourself?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Wu Qianhuan, Wen Rou, Liu Qingyan and Su Ningzhen all changed their expressions.
They looked around but saw nothing.
But Chu Qing would never do something without a purpose. Since he noticed something, it proved that there were really people around!
Just as everyone was looking around, Chu Qing suddenly looked in one direction and saw a figure walking slowly towards him. His figure seemed to be moving slowly but was actually fast, and in the blink of an eye he was already in front of the fire.
Chu Qing narrowed his eyes slightly:
"Oh it's you?"
