Chapter 383 Meeting Gray Clothes Again
"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Chu Qing responded softly:

"I will not punish myself for the mistakes of others."

It was naturally the fault of the military leader who massacred the city.

In order to increase its strength, the Tianxie Cult treats the people like pigs and dogs. This is not the first time this has happened.

Just looking at the martial arts used by the Tianxie Cult, each one was built up with countless lives.

It is often the case that the more people you kill, the stronger your martial arts skills become!

What is worth paying attention to is Chu Qing's choice.

But even if we had chosen Taicang Sect that day, could what is happening now have been avoided?
Even if Chu Qing really killed the Lord of Soldiers in the battle, would the people of Tianxie Cult give up killing and withdraw from Lingbei?
That's impossible...it will only make things more complicated.

Chu Qing's difficulty was not that his martial arts were weaker than Bingzhu's, but that he could not kill Bingzhu and all the Tianxie Cult disciples who followed him by himself.

If Chu Qing had gone to Taicang Sect that day, the final result would have been a fight to the death between him and the Lord of Soldiers. If the Lord of Soldiers died, the disciples of Tianxie Sect would have scattered and fled, breaking up into small groups and sneaking into various places in the rivers and lakes of Lingbei.

Before the hammer fell hard enough, the people in the Lingbei underworld were in a daze and could not realize the horror of the Tianxie Cult.

Just like Taicang Sect's leader Zheng Yiming, even though the letter had been delivered by carrier pigeon, they still arrogantly thought that they could solve everything by their own strength.

Without having seen the true abilities of the Lord of Arms, many people, like Zheng Yiming, would think that the Lord of Arms is nothing special.

The Tianxie Cult is basically just like this!

Although there are still people who have righteousness in their hearts and are willing to wipe out the Tianxie Cult.

However, the arrogance of the nine major forces will also make some people have different ideas.

Either, use it for your own benefit, or, try to get the skin of a tiger.

The human heart is an abyss that can never be measured.

If they were to get the killing experience again...

The Tianxie Cult that was broken into pieces, and the various factions in the Lingbei martial arts world with different ideas.

They will all become sparks that could burn the precarious martial arts world at any time.

Then Chu Qing would really be unable to cope with all the tasks, and countless people would die in this chaos.

Therefore, Chu Qing cannot kill the military leader now. The purpose of gathering the Lingbei martial arts world to hold a hero conference is partly to recruit the Lingbei martial arts world for his own use.

But at least on the surface, the goal is to deal with the Tianxie Cult.

This is also what they are bound to do.

Chu Qing is not a saint. He has his own selfish desires. To the best of his ability, he is willing to show chivalry, punish evil and bring order to the world.

This is the purpose of his convening the Heroes Conference.

Take advantage of the general trend and achieve success in one go!
Instead of letting the fire spread completely, he would run around the world like a firefighter to clean up the mess.

But he didn't expect the military leader to directly massacre the city...

In fact, massacres of cities are not uncommon during times of war.

But for people in the underworld, everything that does not involve ordinary people is what they think is the underworld.

After all, no matter what a martial artist is like now, he will always have some dreams of being a martial artist when he was young, fantasizing about mastering martial arts, protecting the people around him, punishing evil and promoting good.

It is precisely because of this common perception that those who practice martial arts by using the lives of ordinary people are regarded as evil heretics and are not tolerated in the righteous world.

Now that this has happened, Chu Qing doesn't think that his choice was wrong.

All I can say is that the Tianxie Cult is too vicious.

Damn them!
This was their fault. There was no reason for Chu Qing to punish himself for it and regret that he chose to go to Yaotai Sect instead of Taicang Sect.

After all, if he didn't go to Yaotai Sect, Yaotai Sect would also be destroyed by them.

The fat and thin duo had originally received orders from the Lord of Arms. While all attention was on the Taicang Sect, they secretly went to the Yaotai Sect and destroyed it, and seized the Four Directions Zun of Heaven and Earth.

Considering this aspect, Chu Qing's choice was not only correct, but just right.

After Wu Qianhuan heard his words, she said softly:

"I know you are very clear-headed. Many things that I don't understand become clear to you.

"I'm just worried that you'll get stuck in a rut and won't be able to get out...

“The one who killed people was a disciple of Tianxie Cult, and the one who gave the order was Bingzhu.

"The only thing we can do for the people who died is to eliminate the military leader and put an end to the tragedy."

Chu Qing turned and looked at Wu Qianhuan when he heard that.

When their eyes met, Chu Qing could still see the worry in her eyes.

He chuckled:
“In fact, when I heard about the military leader’s massacre of the city, I felt guilty for a moment.

"Fortunately, I have thought it through. Now that you are comforting me like this, I feel much more relaxed."

"That's good."

Wu Qianhuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Qing smiled and asked:

"You care about me that much?"

"Natural."

Wu Qianhuan said righteously:

"The martial arts world in Lingbei is counting on you. You can't get into trouble."

Chu Qing was stunned when he heard this:
"Am I that amazing?"

"That's natural."

Wu Qianhuan nodded.

Perhaps Chu Qing himself has not realized that he is no longer the same as he was in the past.

Those who fight and kill at every turn are masters that others can never reach in their lifetime.

With just a few words, the almighty Yaotai Sect was willing to surrender.

He has long been qualified to be on par with the world's top masters.

To say that he is a legend in the martial arts world seems to be an understatement.

But Chu Qing today is already worthy of being called a legend.

Chu Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and reached out and tapped her forehead:
“Don’t engage in personality cult.”

"what?"

Wu Qianhuan didn't understand his old saying and was a little confused:
"Personal worship? How to do personality worship? Who to worship?"

"It doesn't matter, it's just nonsense."

Their current location is not far from Xianyun Mountain.

Whenever something happens in the underworld, it will cause a big uproar in the whole city.

And many unknown figures in the world will flock to the area following this little trend.

What's more, the Tianyin Mansion is a real big shot today, and it has joined forces with the Liaoyuan Mansion. This movement has been louder than all the others from the beginning.

Therefore, at this point, Chu Qing and his companions could already see many people from the martial arts world coming to Xianyun Mountain on the road.

Some of them walked in groups of two or three, some were alone with swords, or some performed Qinggong and ran with the wind under their feet and raised dust. Some seemed to be walking slowly, but in fact they were moving fast.

However, these are just scattered soldiers in the martial arts world, and the other sects among the three prefectures, three gates and three sects have not been seen for the time being.

By noon, there were no teahouses or taverns along the desolate mountain road. There was only a pavilion that had stood silently for who knows how long, blocking the increasingly strong sunlight in recent days.

Chu Qing and his group stopped and tied up their horses.

He picked up Jiang Qianliu and threw him beside the pavilion, then threw a coarse flour pancake on the ground.

Jiang Qianliu was not picky. He only had one meal a day, and coarse flour bread was enough for him to survive.

He barely used his weak hands to pick up the cake and put it into his mouth, chewing it bite by bite with a look of satisfaction on his face, as if it were some delicacy.

Chu Qing took the other three people into the pavilion and sat down. He took out some things like roast chicken and steamed buns made of white flour from his bag and placed them on the table in the pavilion for people to use.

Now we can take a short break and let the horses rest their legs before continuing on our journey.

While they were eating and drinking, they heard footsteps coming from afar, and in a moment, two people came into view.

A middle-aged man and a young man.

The two people were dressed basically the same, and looked like a master and apprentice.

The middle-aged man looked alert, while the young man glanced at the people in the pavilion with curiosity. When his gaze fell on Wu Qianhuan, Wenrou and others, he quickly retracted his gaze and did not dare to look any further.

Finally, looking at Jiang Qianliu who was lying on the ground eating a cake, his eyes were suddenly filled with pity.

The middle-aged man clasped his fists and said:
"Hello, fellow Taoists. I wonder if I could stay in this pavilion for a while?"

After hearing this, the young man secretly curled his lips and muttered to himself behind his back.

Chu Qing didn't know whether the middle-aged man heard it or not, but Chu Qing heard it clearly anyway... What the boy muttered was:
"I've seen this one, and I've seen that one too... This pavilion isn't theirs, so why are you asking? If they say no, are we just going to turn around and leave?
"On the mountain, we boast about how great our Qingyun Sect is, but once we get off the mountain, everyone seems to be better than us..."

Chu Qing felt like laughing when he heard this.

But he didn't say no as the young man thought... He just smiled and said:
"This place has no owner, you two can do as you please."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man immediately clasped his fists in thanks.

Then he led the young man to the pavilion. When he passed Jiang Qianliu, the young man couldn't help but take a few more glances, but was pulled away by the middle-aged man:

"Don't look too much, or you'll get into trouble."

"I just took a look... is it that serious?"

The young man was speechless for a while, feeling that his master was too cautious.

Let's see if they will take action again.
However, his unwillingness to accept was instantly suppressed after the middle-aged man warned him with his eyes.

Watching his master take out food from the bag, he took a piece of braised meat, thought about it, and suddenly ran to Jiang Qianliu.

He reached out and handed over the braised meat.

The middle-aged man wanted to stop it but didn't have time. He was shocked and looked at Chu Qing hurriedly.

But seeing Chu Qing turning a deaf ear to it, as if he didn't care at all, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Qianliu was overjoyed when he got the braised meat. He started chewing it in big mouthfuls. However, he did not throw away the coarse flour pancake. He hid it carefully against his chest, as if he was afraid that he would not be able to eat it for the next meal.

When the young man saw this scene, his eyes showed even more pity.

Seeing that Chu Qing had no intention of objecting, he squatted down and asked:
"Are you a beggar?"

Jiang Qianliu glanced at him upon hearing that, then suddenly stretched out his hand and wiped his face.

The young man was not careful and got his face smeared black. He sat down on the ground in fear.

He hurriedly returned to the middle-aged man, and was relieved to make sure that Jiang Qianliu did not come forward to kill him. Then he was filled with anger:
"You... why are you like this? I felt sorry for you and gave you meat to eat, but you still treat me like this?"

Jiang Qianliu chuckled. He now knew that there was no way he could escape from Chu Qing's hands, so he had given up the idea. He just ate meat and said:
"Look, you are kind-hearted. If you give me meat to eat, I will teach you a lesson."

"what?"

The young man suddenly felt a burning sensation on his face. He reached out his hand to touch it, only to feel swelling all over his face.

The locations of those lines were exactly where Jiang Qianliu's fingers had just passed.

"Zheng'er!!"

When the middle-aged man saw this, he immediately became angry and anxious:
"You, you are poisoned.

"How can this be absurd? We had no grudges in the past and no hatred today. Why would you do such a cruel thing?"

"I am willing, what's your business?"

Jiang Qianliu snorted and ate the meat with a smacking sound, which looked very delicious.

Seeing that Chu Qing had not stopped them until now, the middle-aged man thought that Jiang Qianliu had nothing to do with them, and immediately drew his sword with a clang:
"Hand over the antidote, otherwise, beware of your life."

The young man was in so much pain that he couldn't speak, and his entire face was so swollen that it didn't seem like his own.

"If you have the guts, then kill me. I won't dodge or evade. Let's see if you can stab me to death."

Jiang Qianliu didn't even bother to lift his eyelids. He just hummed and spoke in a dying tone.

"You...you are really looking for death!!!"

The middle-aged man was really angry and was about to kill someone with his sword.

Jiang Qianliu really did as he said, he didn't dodge or evade, letting the sword approach.

But at this moment, the sword tip paused and fell between two fingers.

The middle-aged man looked up suddenly, thinking that Chu Qing and his group had taken action. However, when he looked up, he saw an old man in gray standing in front of him.

He was very old, with sparse white hair, and looked very old, but his two fingers were like iron clamps, holding the sword firmly. No matter how the middle-aged man used his internal strength, he could not move it even a little.

The middle-aged man was suddenly shocked. Where did this master come from?

Could it be that this person on the ground is related to this old man?

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the old man say to the pavilion:

"meet again."

"Senior, it seems like you appear wherever there's excitement?"

Chu Qing smiled:
"And he's always meddling in other people's business."

"Do good and accumulate virtue."

Do good deeds and smile:
"I just don't understand. This happened right in front of you, why didn't you do anything about it?"

"Since the senior is right beside us, why should I take action?"

Chu Qing smiled and said:

"Besides, he is seeking death himself, and it would be a burden for me to take him with me. It would be better to just let him die here."

Listening to the two men talking, the middle-aged man's heart sank.

These two people know each other...and the one who committed the murder on the ground was indeed caught by this young man.

But why did he say that the person on the ground was seeking death?

Just as I was puzzled, I suddenly heard hurried footsteps. I looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man with blood all over his face, running towards me as fast as he could.

After seeing someone, that person's eyes suddenly flashed brightly and he shouted urgently:

"Help!!!"
