Chapter 388 Reason
Chapter 388 Reason
The disciples of Tianyin Mansion moved extremely quickly and surrounded all the people from Xuanji Sect in the venue in an instant.
Zuo Zhongtang could no longer face the current situation with that nonchalant expression. He narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the Liu siblings.
"Tianyin Mansion, what does this mean?"
There was a hint of solemnity in his voice.
But he was still full of energy. Although he was hit by Cheng Xiao's palm just now, he didn't seem to be hurt.
The reason why he looked pale was probably because of emotional hurt.
Liu Qingyan and Liu Jinghan didn't even look at Zuo Zhongtang. They quickly walked up to Chu Qing and Liu Qingyan reached out to pinch Chu Qing's face.
Although Chu Qing was shocked by her action, her reaction was not slow at all.
He grabbed her wrist and pressed down:
"what?"
"Pinch it!"
Liu Qingyan felt that her sudden move might be successful.
Who would have thought that Chu Qing would be on high alert against her even at this time.
Chu Qing sneered:
"After you pinched my face like this in public, how can I survive in the martial arts world from now on!?"
"Sister, don't mess around."
Liu Jinghan also spoke quickly.
Different from Liu Qingyan's contemptuous attitude, Liu Jinghan had an inexplicable fear towards Chu Qing.
This is also normal... After all, after witnessing Chu Qing's shocking martial arts, no matter who faces him, they always have to be careful.
Although the two were cousins, the difference in martial arts skills made Liu Jinghan feel that he was much inferior to Chu Qing.
If the two people were similar, and Chu Qing was just a little bit better than him, he probably wouldn't have this feeling, but would have the fighting spirit to surpass him.
But the gap between the two was like a firefly compared to the bright moon... so Liu Jinghan didn't even dare to think of overtaking.
Being pressed to death.
And he knew that this so-called Heroes Conference was a stage specially prepared for Chu Qing.
This person is going to be elected as the leader of the martial arts world. How could he be pinched on the face by his own sister in public?
Besides, they know their own business.
Others don't know what the relationship between Liu Qingyan and Chu Qing is.
With things like this being so unclear, how can Liu Qingyan get married in the future?
I'm already an old girl, and I don't even think about the future...
"How dare you control me!"
Liu Qingyan glared at her brother, then glanced at Chu Qing, then withdrew her hand angrily.
I feel like I missed this opportunity, and I guess there will never be such a good opportunity again in the future.
However, she was lively by nature, a bit like her aunt, who was carefree. After feeling a little regretful for a moment, she didn't care about it anymore and immediately went to chat with Wu Qianhuan and Wenrou.
Zuo Zhongtang was about to explode with anger at this time. He pointed with his finger:
"I was wondering... So you are here for this person?
"This man captured my Xuanji Sect's steward Jiang Qianliu. This is the grudge between my Xuanji Sect and him. Your Tianyin Mansion intervened. Do you want to give my Xuanji Sect an explanation on his behalf?"
Liu Jinghan was stunned for a moment and glanced at the person at Chu Qing's feet.
I didn't recognize that he was a master from Xuanji Sect.
But it didn't matter whether he recognized her or not. He asked Chu Qing in a low voice:
"what happened?"
"This matter... I also need Master Zuo Shao to give an explanation."
Chu Qing's words seemed to be no answer, but it also seemed to answer something.
Liu Jinghan nodded upon hearing this and waved his hand:
"Capture all the people from Xuanji Sect!"
Zuo Zhongtang was shocked. He never dreamed that Liu Jinghan would dare to do this.
For a moment, I was shocked and angry:
"Liu Jinghan, do you know what you are doing?
"Tianyin Mansion has sent out invitations to us to come to Xianyun Mountain to participate in the Heroes Conference. As the host, is this how you treat your guests?
"Or have you really colluded with the Tianxie Cult? The invitation to heroes is fake, and you actually want to wipe out the entire Lingbei martial arts world in one fell swoop!?"
After hearing this, Chu Qing inexplicably felt a sense of great relief.
The silly child actually has a clever mouth.
These words directly transferred the conflict from Chu Qing and Xuanji Gate, to Tianyin Mansion and Xuanji Gate, and finally to Tianyin Mansion and everyone present.
Sure enough, regardless of whether it was true or false, many people attending the meeting felt a little uneasy when this statement was made.
Liu Jinghan just sneered:
"Still not taking action!?"
Be it the transfer of contradictions or other ideas.
Let’s first capture the person from Xuanji Gate, and then we can deal with the rest later.
As the future head of the Liu family, Liu Jinghan is as hard as iron. He will not change his mind because of a few words from the other party and will not be easily shaken.
But at this moment, Chu Qing suddenly spoke softly:
"Wait a minute."
The disciples of Tianyin Mansion had already agreed, but after hearing Chu Qing's words, they stopped.
This scene made Zuo Zhongtang's pupils shrink.
Only then did he realize that the person in front of him was probably not a simple person.
Liu Jinghan and Liu Qingyan were very familiar with him and did their best to protect him.
He was willing to offend Xuanjimen for this.
But if that's all, we can only say that this person is truly a guest of honor at Tianyin Mansion and is highly valued by the other party.
But now, Chu Qing's words were enough to stop all the Tianyin Mansion disciples who had received the order and were about to take action...
This is not right.
If it was an outsider, no matter how respected he was, the disciples of Tianyin Mansion should obey Liu Jinghan's orders, and would not prohibit him just because of Chu Qing's words.
This shows...the relationship between them is much closer than imagined.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Jiang Qianliu.
Today I came to Xianyun Mountain and accidentally met the escaped Cheng Xiao and her lover.
In anger, he argued with him, which attracted a lot of onlookers.
At this moment, a disciple from Xuanji Sect discovered Jiang Qianliu who had been missing for a long time.
Judging from his miserable appearance, he must have suffered a lot of torture, which is why he attacked in anger.
But I didn't expect that this would happen.
I really don’t know who Jiang Qianliu has offended?
Liu Jinghan's order was stopped by Chu Qing, so he was not angry. He just asked:
"what happened?"
Chu Qing smiled:
"Two words first...
"Master Zuo came up and shouted for war and killing. He didn't even clarify the matter, but he already caused a death. This is not right after all.
"We still have to explain the cause and effect clearly, so that Master Zuo can know what is going on. It is better than killing without teaching."
Zuo Zhongtang took a deep breath:
"You said you wanted an explanation?" "Yes."
Chu Qing nodded:
"I was wandering around the world and met a man by chance.
"This man had some conflicts with Nie Jing Tai. He had never done any evil in his life, but was repeatedly assassinated by Nie Jing Tai."
"What does this have to do with my Xuanji Sect?"
Zuo Zhongtang couldn't stand listening.
Chu Qing smiled:
“That’s exactly the problem.
“Some time ago, I went to Yaotai Sect to look for someone, but I didn’t expect that I would run into two generals under the commander of the army, who were leading the disciples of Tianxie Sect to secretly attack Yaotai Sect.
“After the battle, the assassin from the Niejingtai took the opportunity to kill someone, but in the end, one died and the other was captured!
"Master Zuo, you should know what I want to say... The person who was captured is Jiang Qianliu, the deacon of the Guiqi Hall of your Xuanji Sect!"
"This is impossible!"
Zuo Zhongtang retorted subconsciously, but when he looked at Jiang Qianliu lying at Chu Qing's feet, he suddenly felt a little uneasy.
Jiang Qianliu disappeared suddenly.
The missing place was a mechanism room in the Weird Weapon Hall.
The mechanical skills of Xuanji Sect have long been renowned, and the Mechanical Room is where the masters among them study the mechanical skills.
Often, even if you live there for ten days or half a month, no one will ask about you.
At the beginning, no one noticed anything was wrong.
The food delivered every day was also eaten up completely...
But that day, the disciples in the sect were arguing over a problem related to mechanical techniques. Two of them refused to give in to each other and ended up pushing and shoving each other, almost getting into a fight.
The person who was pushed happened to bump into the door of the machine room.
The door should have been locked from the inside with a secret lock to prevent others from bumping into it or knocking it open, thus interrupting the thoughts of those inside.
Unexpectedly, the mechanism in this room was not locked, and the person who was pushed went directly into the mechanism room.
Just like a young man in the office, he looked at each other in bewilderment.
The matter was brought to the main hall, and upon asking, it was discovered that Jiang Qianliu had long left Xuanji Gate and no one knew where he had gone.
The one who was left in the mechanism room was his disciple...
As a result, the disciples of Xuanji Sect also scattered to search, but found nothing, and Jiang Qianliu was thus declared missing.
As a result, the person in front of him said that he had sneaked into the Yaotai Sect and was trying to assassinate him! ?
Now he has been caught by Chu Qing. If he had not been caught, or if his goal had been achieved, would he have quietly returned to Xuanji Gate and gone back to the mechanism room?
Everything can be done without anyone noticing!
Thinking of this, Zuo Zhongtang stared at Jiang Qianliu, trying to find some clues from his face.
But Jiang Qianliu simply lowered his head and stopped looking at him.
This is also a statement.
Zuo Zhongtang felt helpless for a moment, feeling that he was worried everywhere.
The woman I married is not a worry-free person. She wants to run away every day and live with her lover.
The disciples of the sect are also a cause for concern. Instead of being good disciples of the Xuanji Sect, they actually run off to become assassins of the Niejingtai.
However, Xuanji Sect's reputation cannot be thrown on the ground and stepped on by others. He immediately said in a deep voice:
"This is just your one-sided statement, the truth is still unknown.
“What’s more, even if what you said is true, if there is a rebellion in my Xuanji Sect, it should be handled by the people of my Xuanji Sect.
"Don't allow others to interfere in our affairs!"
Chu Qing looked at this person and suddenly laughed:
"I think you have misunderstood something. I am not trying to interfere in other people's affairs, nor do I suspect that there is any rebellion in your Xuanji Sect.
"What I suspect is that... your Xuanji Sect has already colluded with Niejingtai.
"Under the guise of 'enforcing justice on behalf of heaven and using killing as punishment', they do whatever they want in the underworld!"
"You are talking nonsense!"
Zuo Zhongtang was furious:
"We in Xuanji Sect are upright and honest, how can we allow you to be wronged like this?"
“Whether it is true or not, let’s not discuss it for now.
"Now that the cause and effect have been explained, how do you think you should give me an explanation, Young Sect Master?"
"...My Xuanji Sect will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly."
Zuo Zhongtang immediately said:
"But Jiang Qianliu is my Xuanji Sect's steward after all, so I can't treat him with such disrespect. Hand him over, and I will give you an explanation sooner or later."
Chu Qing shook his head:
"No, you forgot what I said before. I suspect that your Xuanji Sect is in cahoots with Niejingtai.
“Let the thief check the identity of the thief, and he will certainly make the mistake of identifying himself.
"Now I ask you to investigate this matter. To be frank, I don't trust you..."
"Then what are you going to do?!"
Zuo Zhongtang's face turned pale.
Chu Qing smiled:
"Easy, how about you all just surrender and cooperate with us in the investigation?"
Isn't this still all taken?
Liu Jinghan was speechless for a while, but after thinking about it, he felt that the biggest difference between Chu Qing's approach and his own was that both of them explained the situation clearly before taking action.
It will not confuse the people around him. Now they all know that the reason why Chu Qing did this is because he caught the killer of Niejingtai, who was from Xuanjimen.
Therefore, the reason for doing this is easy for people to accept and they will not have wild thoughts.
He felt that not explaining to others and doing things on his own was certainly a style of his.
But most misunderstandings arise from ambiguity, which is not a good thing in the long run.
It is easy to be exploited by people with ulterior motives and lead to a terrible situation.
Zuo Zhongtang would naturally not surrender and sneered:
"How shameless! Don't even think that I will surrender!"
But as soon as he said this, he felt a chill suddenly enveloping his heart, and soon he discovered that this chill was not an illusion.
Instead, there really was a large amount of cold air spreading from under Chu Qing's feet in all directions. Wherever it passed, a layer of ice condensed on the ground, and in a blink of an eye it filled the whole sky and earth.
People who are in it feel their limbs stiff and their minds seem to be frozen by the cold.
Every disciple of Xuanji Sect was frozen in place as ice spread from their feet.
Zuo Zhongtang's heart tightened. What kind of method was this?
He suddenly jumped up, wanting to capture the leader first.
He reached behind his back with one hand and found an iron umbrella.
With a flick of his hand, the fan opened and spun towards Chu Qing. But just when Chu Qing thought that his moves were being performed with the help of the iron umbrella, he saw eight chains suddenly flying out from behind the fan, heading towards Chu Qing's limbs, waist and abdomen.
Chu Qing smiled slightly and took a step forward. It was as if a huge pressure came down from the sky. In an instant, the fan lowered its head. The eight chains that originally seemed to be flying like spirit snakes seemed to have been drained of all their energy.
It fell to the ground like a dead snake.
Zuo Zhongtang was directly pressed down from mid-air by this pressure, and saw Chu Qing walking slowly towards him, saying lightly:
"I think you have misunderstood. I asked you to surrender just to save you some trouble and stop your thoughts.
"It's not like I can't do anything to you unless you surrender."
"You...who are you!?"
Feeling this terrible pressure, Zuo Zhongtang finally realized that he had hit a wall today.
Chu Qing put one hand on his shoulder, poured his internal energy into his body, and sealed his eight extraordinary meridians.
Then the sound came into my ears:
"You are not qualified to know my name."
