Chapter 390 Hesitation
The sword force had already enveloped him, and thousands of murderous intentions burst out in an instant.

At this critical moment, Chu Qing spoke wildly, claiming that this sword was ordinary! ?

However, once I have made such a bold statement, I cannot let it fall on deaf ears.

He spread out his five fingers, palms facing downward. There was no cyclone, but wind and cloud energies were circling his body and turning into a strong gale.

The wind sweeps the sword like fallen leaves.

In just a moment, the sword intent that had originally enveloped Chu Qing was blown to pieces.

Sikong Yijian's expression changed for the first time.

The wind lingering around Chu Qing was not an ordinary wind, but internal energy, two extremely powerful yet completely different kinds of internal energy.

Moreover, these two kinds of internal forces complement each other, and when activated, their power is doubled!

His own sword intent and sword power are ethereal and vast, omnipresent and all-encompassing.

But compared with the opponent's strength, the sword intent that suddenly took a form, and all-encompassing, could not be integrated into the opponent's true energy.

It was so powerful that it was torn into pieces like a thin piece of paper.

It collapsed at the first touch!
Sikong Yijian turned around, but had no intention of retreating. Instead, he felt a desire to win.

The sword is the king of all weapons, how can we live in disgrace?
However, just as Sikong Yijian was about to regroup and attack again, the sword in his hand froze.

Fixed between two fingers.

Sikong Yijian's pupils contracted and he looked at Chu Qing silently.

Then Chu Qing spoke softly:
"enough."

That’s enough… Sikong Yijian slowly closed his eyes, the power on the sword gradually dissipated, and Chu Qing also let go of his hand.

I only heard Sikong Yijian sigh and slowly asked:

"My sword could possibly hurt the Lord of Arms?"

"Probably not."

Chu Qing said softly.

"Can you defeat him?"

"it should be OK."

None of them were definite answers, but Sikong Yijian seemed to have heard the accurate answer.

He nodded slightly:
"it is good."

After finishing speaking, he came and sat down below Chu Qing.

The incident seemed to have died down since then.

Liu Zhaonian's expression still looked bad:

"Master Sikong, don't you plan to explain?"

Sikong Yijian glanced at him and shook his head slightly:

"No need."

Liu Zhaonian almost laughed out of anger. Although he was the one who organized this Heroes Conference and invited Sikong Yijian...but when this man came, he attacked Chu Qing with his sword without saying a word, and he didn't even give an explanation afterwards.

It's really a bit outrageous.

As the Lord of Tianyin Mansion, Liu Zhaonian was naturally not someone he could easily deal with. He immediately sneered:
“I think that Sect Master Sikong had better explain it.

"When faced with a major event, we must not lose our loyalty or we may end up with bitter consequences."

These words were full of threats, and Li Xianyi suddenly became nervous again.

He wanted to smooth things over, but his martial arts skills and status were not good enough, so he dared not say anything.

Sikong Yijian spoke calmly:
"What bitter fruit?"

There was a hint of coldness in Liu Zhaonian's eyes. Just as he was about to speak, Chu Qing spoke first and asked Sikong Yijian:
"You really don't know?"

Sikong Yijian said calmly:
"I don't know."

"Then you know that Palace Master Liu is angry."

Chu Qing asked again.

There was some doubt in Sikong Yijian's eyes:

"Why is he angry?"

Liu Zhaonian simply couldn't figure this out... He couldn't help but look at Ouyang Tianxu on the other side.

Although they are both the heads of one of the nine major forces.

But their understanding of the leader of the Supreme Sword Sect was very limited.

At best, they had met once or twice due to various important matters, and they never even spoke.

I knew that this person was cold and arrogant, but I didn't know that he was actually ignorant?
He didn't even know why Liu Zhaonian was angry.

Chu Qing explained to him:
"You are invited here, so we welcome you as a guest of honor.

"You drew your sword and attacked without caring about your master's face. As the initiator of this Heroes Conference, Master Liu will be angry if you don't give him face."

"But what does my invitation to you to test your sword have to do with him?"

Sikong Yijian’s counter-question was natural.

The meaning of his words was very clear, this matter was between him and Chu Qing.

He wanted to borrow Chu Qing to test the sword, and then he took action.

Even if he was angry, it should be Chu Qing who was angry. Why was Liu Zhaonian angry?
He turned his head and glanced at Liu Zhaonian. The confusion in his eyes made Liu Zhaonian suddenly feel that his anger seemed a little ridiculous.

Ouyang Tianxu sighed:
"Without madness, there is no life.

"Master Sikong only has the sword in his eyes... He doesn't care about anything else, and doesn't pay any attention to it."

Liu Zhaonian felt that in the past he always thought that each of the leaders of the nine major forces should not be underestimated... but now it seems that this may not be the case.

At least Ouyang Tianxu wasn't as sinister and cunning as he imagined, and Sikong Yijian wasn't as cold and arrogant...

When you focus on one thing, you naturally won't care about other things.

In fact, this type of people are often very successful in some aspect.

The sword that Sikong Yijian just struck was actually very terrifying.

It's just that he was facing Chu Qing, and the gap between them was too big, so he seemed vulnerable.

His ability to achieve such success is closely related to his character.

He devoted all his attention to swordsmanship, but a person who focuses on one thing for his entire life may not achieve much in the end. However, there are still people who are distracted and greedy, wanting to have two or even all three.

If the person's intelligence and talent are far above average, then there is still a possibility.

On the contrary...if you fail to master any of them, you will eventually be lost in the crowd.

Liu Zhaonian and Ouyang Tianxu saw Sikong Yijian's situation and felt deeply moved.

There is still a little envy in my heart.

But now is not the time to think about this. Liu Zhaonian coughed lightly, and seeing Chu Qing's appearance, it seemed that he didn't take what happened just now to heart, so he said:
"Let's put this matter aside for now...

"Since Sect Master Sikong has arrived, he just tried a sword move on the Third Young Master.

"Master Sikong, what do you think of the Third Young Master's martial arts?"

"Unrivaled martial arts skills."

Sikong Yijian blurted out without thinking.

"Then... I intend to nominate him as the leader of the martial arts world on the day of the Heroes' Conference. What do you think, Sect Master Sikong?"

"Seconded."

Sikong Yijian’s words are concise and to the point.

I am no match for Chu Qing, so the leader of the martial arts world must naturally be someone who is capable.

There is nothing to say about this.

The communication was so smooth that Liu Zhaonian didn't know how to describe it...

With the addition of Sikong Yijian, the conversation became a little awkward.

Everyone could not ignore him, and when the topic turned to this person, he either said nothing or uttered one or two words, causing the topic that was originally quite good to suddenly become very dry, making people lose interest in continuing the conversation.

Chu Qing thought this person was very interesting.

A cold topic destroyer.

Finally, after chatting about some trivial things, he asked someone to prepare a room for Chu Qing to take people to rest. Of course, Sikong Yijian would not be the only one who came to the Supreme Sword Sect.

Although he is taciturn and ignorant of worldly affairs, there are still some knowledgeable people in his sect.

Knowing that this is a critical moment for the sect's survival, this heroic conference may even determine whether the Lingbei martial arts world exists. Of course, the sect leader cannot be allowed to come here alone to cause trouble.

In fact, there have been rumors that the entire Tai Shang Jian Men sect has come, after all, the Lord of Arms is very likely to be their next target.

Now other people have also arrived one after another. Under Li Xianyi's arrangement, they have moved into Xianyun Manor...

Inside the room, Chu Qing, Wu Qianhuan, and Wen Rou sat around the table.

There was something on the table.

The Four-Sided Cup of Heaven and Earth!
It has been a while since they got this thing, but they have been on the road all the time, so Chu Qing has no time to study it carefully.

This square wine jar of heaven and earth is not too big, it is just a little bigger than an ordinary wine jar.

The special thing, of course, is the extra leg. Ordinary wine bottles only have three legs.

It has four legs and is shaped like a tripod.

As for the material, Chu Qing still couldn't tell it. It was neither gold, nor iron, nor copper, nor wood, nor stone...

The wine jar is carved with dragons and phoenixes all around, with unique techniques and a masterly style.

Chu Qing was curious about how these carvings were made.

You know, this thing is extremely hard. Even with Chu Qing's strength, even if he used 30% of his strength, he couldn't do anything to it.

To be honest, if Chu Qing didn't know the real function of this thing, he would think that it would be quite useful as a weapon. He could throw it at someone's head and it would definitely make the person's head bleed and become dizzy.

After staring at it for a while, the three of them looked at each other, and finally Chu Qing took up a jar of good wine on the ground.

This is what he specifically asked Li Xianyi for.

What Li Xianyi brought was not ordinary liquor, but the Shenxiandao that he had treasured for many years.

As soon as the seal was broken, the aroma of wine immediately filled the entire room.

He picked up the jar of wine and slowly poured it out.

The wine was amber in color, and like a thread, it fell off the mouth of the jar and into the four square jars of heaven and earth.

After a moment, a full bottle of wine was poured.

Everyone continued to wait and see what would happen.

But there was no change at all. Wu Qianhuan looked at Chu Qing in confusion:
"Could it be that we were deceived?"

Chu Qing shook his head, feeling that it shouldn't be the case.

Not many people knew about his trip to the Yaotai Sect, so it didn't make sense for anyone to replace the crown prince in advance.

After waiting for a while, there was still no change in the bottle, so Chu Qing began to check whether there was any poison in it.

After trying all kinds of methods, it can be basically confirmed that there is no poison.

He took another drop of wine and fed it to a wolfhound guarding Xianyun Manor.

The dog's big tongue rolled the wine into its mouth. Just as it was about to turn around and leave, its four legs moved like rowing a boat, and it fell asleep after only taking two steps.

After making sure that this guy was drunk and not poisoned, Chu Qing took out two wine glasses and divided the wine into them.

Gentleness can't wait...

She was not a wine lover, but this divine wine was of fine quality and of sufficient age.

In addition, this Heaven and Earth Four-sided Jar seemed to have the effect of enhancing the flavor of the wine, which made her appetite grow and she couldn't help but want to drink it quickly.

Wu Qianhuan also took out a wine glass and clinked it with Wenrou who was already impatient to drink.

Just as he was about to drink it all, Chu Qing suddenly spoke:
"and many more!"

"Do you want to drink too?"

Wu Qianhuan said:
"We'll each give you some."

"I don't need this..."

Chu Qing shook his head and frowned and said:

“I just always feel that there is something wrong with this matter.”

Wu Qianhuan and Wenrou didn't say anything when they heard this, they just put the wine glasses on the table.

"What do you think is wrong?"

Wu Qianhuan asked softly.

Chu Qing shook his head:

“First of all, the efficacy of this substance was said by Ning Wufang, and it is hard to say whether what he said is true or false.

“Moreover, he got this information from the Tianxie Cult.

“There are no ordinary characters in the Tianxie Cult. He would not have heard such news by accident... It is very likely that it was leaked intentionally.

"Or maybe they are deliberately using this to show off the benefits of the Tianxie Cult so that Ning Wufang will work hard for them. But it is also possible that there may be something wrong with the fine wine produced by this Tiandi Sifang Zun."

After hearing what Chu Qing said, Wu Qianhuan pushed the wine glass forward again.

Although Wenrou is very greedy, the desire for food is not more important than life. Although Chu Qing's words may be a bit alarmist, they are not entirely unreasonable.

Chu Qing then continued:

"Also, have you ever thought about...who had this thing in the first place?"

Naturally it is in Sang Qingchen's hands.

However, Sang Qingchen did not know the details of this thing, so he never used it.

Otherwise, Xiangshanhai might not be destroyed.

But on second thought, Chu Qing was obviously not asking this difficult question.

Wu Qianhuan spoke softly:
"Han Qiujun!?"

“That’s right. Xiangshanhai was destroyed because of this, and Han Qiujun obtained the Four Directions Zun of Heaven and Earth.

“But what kind of person is Han Qiujun?

"If this thing falls into his hands, is it possible that he will return it to the Tianxie Cult?
“Most importantly…

"Where did Han Qiujun get the news that the Tiandi Sifang Zun was in Xiangshanhai?"

After this question was asked, Wu Qianhuan and Wenrou were both stunned for a moment.

They knew about this matter, and the news also came from the Tianxie Cult.

"With the capabilities of the Tianxie Cult, is Han Qiujun worth all the trouble they've gone to, and is it worth spending a Nine Treasures of Heaven and Earth to win him over?"

Chu Qing spoke slowly, and Wu Qianhuan's brows furrowed fiercely.

Gentleness speaks decisively:
"No need."

This is a no-brainer.

It’s just that they hadn’t thought about it in this way before... after all, everything was reasonable.

The Star-Splitting Mansion destroyed Xiangshanhai for the sake of the four directions of heaven and earth.

This news was given to them by Tianxie, who said that this item could be used as a gift for alliance.

In order to prevent this item from returning to the hands of the Tianxie Cult, Han Qiujun even temporarily hid it in her dowry and sent it to the Yaotai Sect.

All of this was so natural, and Chu Qing got this information in fragments.

So much so that he didn't notice it for a moment. If it was really that simple, it wouldn't make sense.

It was just when Wu Qianhuan and Wenrou were about to drink the glass of wine that he reacted.

This is not right!

From the battle in front of Tianlai City, it could be seen that Han Qiujun's martial arts had reached the level of Nine Stars in a Row, but he was only on the same level as the eight great generals under the Lord of Arms.

The Tianxie Cult has a lot of people like this, but it definitely does not lack one Han Qiujun.

The Tianxie Cult would never do business at a loss... There is probably a lot to say about this matter.

"There may be something else hidden in this thing."

Chu Qing smacked his lips:

"Of course, I may be worrying too much, but I still don't recommend trying it rashly.

"Why not find a suitable person, spend some time and let him verify the effect of this thing?"
