Chapter 411 Secret
Chu Qing took a look at the invitation and focused his gaze on Li Xianyi.

"Are you from Wanbaolou?"

Li Xianyi smiled:
"I'm fortunate to be able to help Wanbaolou do something."

Chu Qing was speechless, this didn't sound true.

But this can explain why Li Xianyi is so rich.

It would be unreasonable for someone who is associated with Wanbaolou to be without money.

Thinking of this, Chu Qing took the invitation. It felt heavy in his hand, showing that it was genuine.

This invitation alone is priceless.

Whether it is the material of gold or its value itself, it is enough to attract people.

No wonder Li Xianyi had to borrow my words...

"The leader is looking for Wanbao Tower. The invitation has been delivered. Everyone in Wanbao Tower is waiting for your arrival."

Li Xianyi clasped his fists and bowed.

Chu Qing nodded slightly:

"Okay, I will definitely come and bother you then."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left.

Li Xianyi didn't go to see him off. In fact, after doing this, he left Xianyun Manor directly.

Chu Qing ignored his stay or departure, nor did he go back to his room to rest, but came to the dungeon.

The mysterious armor had been removed, and Zuo Huaifeng sat in a corner of the dungeon with a lonely look on his face, without any sign of life.

With a creak, the iron door was opened. He raised his eyes, but then dropped them again.

Chu Qing stepped in and sat opposite him.

"Chat?"

Chu Qing spoke softly.

“Being able to see the leader again here means that we have now won a great victory.

“From now on, the leader of the alliance will be respected in the area north of the ridge.

"congratulations."

Zuo Huaifeng looked up at Chu Qing and clasped his fists slightly.

Chu Qing smiled:
“No matter how sincere you are, I accept your words.

"Zuo Huaifeng... Let me ask you, do you know Chu Huaifeng?"

Zuo Huaifeng did not speak, his expression did not change at all, and there was no trace of emotion in his eyes.

But after being silent for two or three breaths, he slowly spoke:
“I don’t know him, but I’ve heard of him.

"Cold Corpse Chu Huaifeng...in the past, he was a troublemaker in the martial arts world, and was later surrounded and killed by the righteous people in the martial arts world.

"Why did the leader suddenly mention this person?"

"Because of the mysterious armor."

Chu Qing said softly:

"The Xuanji Armor is the culmination of your Xuanji Sect's mechanical engineering. Logically speaking, no one in the world should be able to replicate it.

“But I have seen the Frost Corpse Chu Huaifeng before, and I saw a set of armor on him that is extremely similar to your Xuanji Sect’s Xuanji Armor.

“Not only that, I once found similar armor on a killer from the Evil Mirror Stage.

“It’s invulnerable to swords and spears, and impervious to water and fire… Although it’s not as complex as your Xuan Ji Armor, in terms of body protection, it’s probably on par with yours.

"How much does Sect Leader Zuo know about this matter?"

"The leader asked how much you know, not whether you know... This means that the leader has already determined that the things they wear are closely related to me?"

Zuo Huaifeng shook his head:
"But the truth is, I don't know."

Chu Qing sighed:

"Master Zuo, you'd better think twice before answering my question.

"You are a smart person. You should understand the consequences of deceiving me."

Zuo Huaifeng's pupils suddenly contracted, and he looked at Chu Qing fiercely, but his fierce gaze changed the moment it touched Chu Qing:

"No, you won't...

"You still need him to help you stabilize Xuanji Sect, and with the support of Xuanji Sect, you will be able to completely control the Lingbei martial arts world.

“So you won’t kill him!

"Don't try to trick me!!"

Chu Qing smiled when he heard this:
“Yes, I need Zuo Zhongtang, so I won’t attack him easily.

“But just because it’s not easy doesn’t mean it’s impossible.

"Zuo Huaifeng, you have colluded with the Nie Jingtai and have become an unjust person.

"The Xuanji Sect has been implicated by you and can no longer hold its head up in the Lingbei martial arts world.

"Whether Xuanji Sect can continue to exist, and whether Zuo Zhongtang can keep his current position, all depends on my thoughts.

"Why do you think that if you don't obey, I won't find someone else to replace you in the years to come?
"Once he loses power, I think many people will not want to see him alive."

The certainty on Zuo Huaifeng's face began to waver, and his face became paler.

In Zuo Huaifeng's view, Zuo Zhongtang was an unfilial son.

What he did for a woman was too absurd and he had no style at all.

But...even so, he is still his son after all.

He easily chose to give up and admit defeat because Zuo Zhongtang could survive.

Now he is at the mercy of others and the situation is no longer under his control... It can be said that the moment he admitted that he had colluded with Nie Jingtai, the initiative of all this was handed over to Chu Qing.

From then on, both he and Zuo Zhongtang could only act according to Chu Qing's wishes.

Thinking of this, Zuo Huaifeng sighed:
“I’m not telling you…it’s actually for your own good.

"Although you are now the leader of the Lingbei martial arts world, you are still nothing in front of that person."

"The person you are talking about..."

Chu Qing looked at Zuo Huaifeng silently:
"But the current Martial Emperor——Li Juechen!?"

Zuo Huaifeng suddenly raised his head, his face full of horror:

"you!"

This reaction says it all.

Chu Qing sighed and simply sat opposite Zuo Huaifeng:

"Tell me the details of this matter."

Zuo Huaifeng looked at Chu Qing with complicated eyes, and felt that this young man was far more unfathomable than he had imagined.

When ordinary people hear about things related to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, they would naturally stay away.

Even if he is the leader of the martial arts world in Lingbei, he is still nothing compared to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

But Chu Qing should have known some things long before, and now that he has connected all the things together, he intends to get to the bottom of it.

Aren’t you worried about the power of Emperor Wu, who would kill him without a burial place?

In fact, what Zuo Huaifeng just said was not sincere, at least most of it was not.

He didn't say it wasn't for Chu Qing, but mainly for Zuo Zhongtang.

Now if Zuo Zhongtang wants to secure his position as the leader of Xuanji Sect, he has to rely on Chu Qing.

In many ways, he is already Chu Qing's subordinate.

If anything happens to Chu Qing, Zuo Zhongtang's life will be in danger... This is the real reason why he is unwilling to say it.

But now... he suddenly felt that he had underestimated Chu Qing.

Although I don't know what he relies on, but seeing his calm attitude, I think he is not without confidence.

Thinking of this, Zuo Huaifeng let out a deep breath:

"I don't know much about the specifics." "But... I first met Emperor Wu many years ago."

“He found me and asked me to help him save someone.

“That person is Chu Huaifeng… Our names are indeed similar, but this is just a coincidence.

“I don’t know much about Chu Huaifeng, but I know what he has done.

“Although I don’t know why Emperor Wu wanted to save such a notorious person, I cannot disobey Emperor Wu’s order.

“Chu Huaifeng was seriously injured that year, so seriously that even if the Emperor himself took action, it would be difficult to completely cure him, especially the injuries to his muscles and bones, which even a god could not cure.

"The Emperor came to me because he wanted me to help Chu Huaifeng rebuild a new set of bones..."

Chu Qing raised his eyebrows, feeling that this Emperor Wu was truly extraordinary.

For Chu Qing, who possessed memories of two lives, something like changing bones seemed like nothing.

But in this day and age, the mere thought of such a thing is already incredible.

Emperor Wu even found Zuo Huaifeng and asked him to do...

Of course, what Zuo Huaifeng was asked to do was not to perform bone surgery, but to build a new set of bones.

I think the person who really mastered this technique must be another master in the medical field.

Zuo Huaifeng continued:
“The Emperor Wu has even prepared the materials. When I saw the materials, I found that although they are still a little different from the materials of the Xuanji Armor of my Xuanji Sect, if I continue to study them, I might be able to recreate the Xuanji Armor.

“At that time, I had a selfish desire and wanted to do more research, so I told Emperor Wu that it would take time to forge bones.

"Emperor Wu showed no suspicion on the surface, but secretly he still had doubts.

"When I was studying the material, Emperor Wu discovered me, and I had no choice but to reveal everything.

"I never thought that Emperor Wu was not surprised, but rather became curious.

"They even spent a lot of money to help me research... In the end, I made a substitute for the Xuanji Armor material, named [New Iron].

“The new iron is much better than the materials that Emperor Wu originally found for me. Emperor Wu asked me to try to replicate the Xuan Ji Armor.

"The result was not successful. The armor that was created only had the shape of the armor, and it was difficult to reproduce the mysterious mechanism of the Xuan Ji Armor on it.

“It’s just because in some places, even materials like new iron can hardly meet the requirements.

“I have experienced similar failures many times, but I didn’t care. Just when I was getting myself together and planning to forge new bones for Chu Huaifeng, Emperor Wu told me that it was no longer necessary.

“He put the armor I made together with Chu Huaifeng, and with the help of the armor, he could jump around.

“It’s just that I don’t understand how he did it.

“I thought this matter would come to an end here…

"But I didn't expect that Emperor Wu would ask me for a batch of armor every year after that."

"…Every year? A batch?"

Chu Qing narrowed his eyes:

“How many are there in this batch?”

"Sometimes three to five hundred, sometimes seven to eight hundred, sometimes thousands..."

Chu Qing felt a little horrified.

He already had a rough idea of ​​what Emperor Wu used these armors for.

However, this number still felt incredible to him.

If things were really as he thought, then both Chu Huaifeng and the killer from Niejingtai were just a drop in the ocean.

What Emperor Wu is accumulating now is an extremely terrifying power.

And from the few words that Chu Huaifeng and the others said, practicing those martial arts is by no means a pleasant experience.

"How did you deliver these armors to Emperor Wu?"

Chu Qing thought of another key point.

After all, this is the Southern Region, the north of the ridge... There is a region separating the Martial Emperor from here. Where did Zuo Huaifeng get such great magical powers to be able to send things to the Martial Emperor?
Zuo Huaifeng's next words were beyond Chu Qing's expectations:
"Through...the Mirror of Evil."

"...Mirror of Evil?"

Chu Qing was both repeating and asking.

Zuo Huaifeng nodded:
“It’s the Nie Jingtai… I don’t know what the connection is between the Nie Jingtai and Emperor Wu.

“I only know that every year someone from the Niejingtai comes with the Emperor Wu’s order to look for armor.

“Then tell me how much you’ll use next year.

"How dare I disobey the Emperor Wu's order?
“Just follow orders.

"This is also the reason why I share what I have with Nie Jingtai... No matter what Nie Jingtai's reputation is, at least in my eyes, he is related to Emperor Wu!"

Having said this, he looked at Chu Qing:

"I don't know what kind of grudges there are between you and Nie Jingtai, but I advise you... it's best not to go too far.

“It’s just a minor incident, Emperor Wu might turn a deaf ear to it.

"But once you really touch his bottom line, what awaits you will surely be a thunderous blow!"

Chu Qing said nothing when he heard this, but just smiled.

From the moment he opened his eyes in the woods, the fight between him and the Evil Mirror Platform had become a life-and-death situation.

Therefore, no matter whether the person standing behind the Evil Mirror Platform is Emperor Wu or some other being, it doesn’t matter.

Whoever stands in his way will die.

Otherwise, you will be the one who dies.

Afterwards, Chu Qing asked some other questions, some about the Niejingtai and some about Emperor Wu.

However, Zuo Huaifeng didn’t know much about Emperor Wu.

However, he knew a lot of information about the Evil Mirror Platform.

The Southern Region Headquarters is currently watching the situation with the Tianxie Cult, and there are signs that they may break away from the Southern Region.

But he didn't know how far the progress had reached.

The current leader of the Southern Region Headquarters is a man codenamed "Red Ghost".

No one knows this person's true identity and name. Zuo Huaifeng has met this person twice, and each time he has met him, he feels like he is walking on the edge of a knife or treading on ice.

This man's martial arts skills are absolutely amazing.

At least above the heads of various families in the Southern Region.

The location of the Southern Region Headquarters is indeed within the Xuanji Sect’s sphere of influence, and detailed information has been given.

There were even several branch locations, which Zuo Huaifeng knew about.

Now it’s all out in the open.

Chu Qing didn't get up and leave until Zuo Huaifeng had nothing more to say.

Before leaving, Chu Qing told Zuo Huaifeng a good news...he could survive.

But this news is not good news for Zuo Huaifeng.

He was captured by Chu Qing and revealed so many things.

Even if Chu Qing lets him live, there will be many people who want him to die.

Especially the mirror stand...

Even if I am lucky enough to survive this time, I am afraid I will never have peace in the future.

……

……

After Chu Qing came out of the dungeon, he went straight back to his room this time.

He currently has three major issues to deal with.

The first is the matter of the southern region headquarters of Niejingtai.

Zuo Huaifeng said that the Southern Region Headquarters seemed to be planning to withdraw from the Southern Region because of the Tianxie Cult.

Although now the Lord of Arms and the disciples of the Tianxie Sect he brought with him have all been killed in Xianyun Mountain.

But it is hard to say whether these people will flee because of my great victory this time?
