Chapter 481 True Appearance
Chapter 481 True Appearance
Great dynasty!
When these four words fell into everyone's ears, everyone's expressions became very complicated at once.
They couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment...
Liu Qingyan was the first to speak:
"This madman...isn't he talking nonsense?"
"That must be nonsense!"
Wan Chunhua said hurriedly:
"The Daqian Dynasty has been destroyed for three hundred years. How could they be the Daqian Dynasty? This... this doesn't make sense!"
Chu Qing picked up the teacup, took a sip, and moistened his throat.
I've been in meetings all day today, discussing follow-up matters, and my throat is very dry.
After drinking it, he put the teacup in his hand and played with it, saying:
"Old man, are you saying that you are the prince of the Daqian Dynasty?
"And the current leader of the Tianxie Cult is the emperor of the Daqian Dynasty?"
Lord Buddha tilted his head to look at Chu Qing, his eyes fixed on Chu Qing's face, but his face was trying to turn to the other side. As his eyes rolled, he murmured:
"My boat...my boat is broken, I need a new boat!
"A new boat!
"Who among you can give me one? There are so many boats here..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Chu Qing.
But when he stretched out his shriveled palm, nothing happened.
Chu Qing's sword cut through the worlds. Although it cannot be said that he used his full strength, the power was extraordinary. The martial arts of the Buddha King ranked among the best among the Twelve Holy Kings, but he was no match for Chu Qing today.
This sword destroyed all his meridians, and all his martial arts skills were ruined.
As for his spirit... he was attacked by the [Boat Changing Sutra], and his spiritual cultivation became a knife that slashed at him, causing chaos in his mind.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so crazy.
Now if you want to use the [Boat Changing Sutra], it will naturally be futile.
Chu Qing kicked it away, put the teacup on the table, and said softly:
"Looks like he's gone crazy again."
"I think he has always been a lunatic..."
Hua Jinnian smacked his lips:
"After all, if he wasn't a madman, how could he think of himself as the Great Qian Dynasty?"
"In fact, it is not impossible."
Chu Qing suddenly said something shocking:
"Ever since I crossed Tongtian Ridge for the first time and experienced the battle at Tongtian Villa, I have actually always been suspicious of one thing..."
"First time crossing Tongtianling?"
Wu Qianhuan looked at Chu Qing:
"When we first learned about the existence of the Lord of Arms, what did you suspect?"
"The pattern of doubting the existence of the Tianxie Cult."
Chu Qing glanced at her:
“I still remember that young player’s name…it’s been so long that I don’t remember his name.
“But I do remember what he said.
“I forgot whether he said it explicitly, but his meaning at the time was very clear. The status of the Twelve Holy Kings is above that of the Lord of Arms.
“However, the Lord of Arms may not buy into the Twelve Saint Kings’ account.
“The division of power among the martial arts sects and gangs is very clear.
“It increases layer by layer and finally gathers in the hands of one person.
"We will not create a prestigious and empty position in the gang, it is meaningless.
"And the only person who would do such a thing seems to be..."
"Royal relatives."
Wenrou, who had always been taciturn, suddenly uttered these four words.
But when these four words were spoken, everyone present felt a tremor in their hearts.
Chu Qing glanced in Wenrou's direction, and the girl got a small stool and sat next to him.
He reached out and rubbed the gentle head.
After coming to his senses, he realized that there were quite a few people around him... Chu Qing looked at his hands. How did it become a habit?
And Wenrou herself didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with such interaction.
Wan Chunhua seemed to have just reacted and took a deep breath:
“The Twelve Holy Kings, Your Majesty, are of a very high status, and are royal relatives!
"What is the Lord of Arms?"
"In the Daqian Dynasty, there would probably be a term called... General, or Marshal.
"Four great generals, four great marshals, four great military masters."
Chu Qing tapped the table lightly with his fingers:
“They command a large number of troops. If they were in the court, they would naturally be in a high position of power, but no matter how high they are, they are not higher than the prince.
“Do you still remember… well, Ren Beiming and Wan Chunhua don’t know, but others remember.
“At that time, the Heavenly Killing Army attacked two major sects in Lingbei, and then ordered a massacre in the city.
“Logically speaking, a martial arts sect would not do such a thing.
"People who practice martial arts, unless they are members of a demon sect practicing magic, often feel that they are superior to ordinary people. Bullying the weak is despised by others, let alone massacring a city?
“We don’t worry about the people’s ability to resist, nor do we need to use this to create a bad reputation. Even if we want to plunder the city’s resources, there is no need to do something like massacring the city.
“Although judging from the style of the Tianxie Cult and the [Killing Sutra] that the Tiansha Soldier’s subordinates have learned, killing people and slaughtering cities can improve his soldiers at the fastest speed.
"But this kind of thing, being able to do it so easily, always makes me feel that our way of thinking is completely different from theirs.
"If we are thinking about the struggle for supremacy in the martial arts world, they are thinking about unifying the world.
“It all seems to make sense.
“What they care about is not a city or a pond, nor the lives of the people in a few cities.
"When we truly unify the world and the people live and work in peace and contentment, all the pain we once had will become a thing of the past..."
"...If we really think in this way, then what about the Wenxin Pavilion that appeared in Wanbao Tower?"
Wu Qianhuan raised her eyebrows slightly:
"Officer?"
"Civil servants... six ministries."
Chu Qing Yile:
"Civil officials, military commanders, and princes... they are almost all here."
"I remember Prince Mei once said that there is a saint girl in the Tianxie Cult... What is that?"
"Princess?"
Chu Qing blinked:
"Or a concubine? No, he said at the time that there was also a Holy Son.
“I thought it was strange at the time, what the Holy Son is still in the cradle… But if the status of the Tianxie Cult is equivalent to that of the emperor, then his children, no matter how old they are, are all princes.
"Even if you are still in your infancy, this identity will not be taken away from you."
After saying this, everyone in the room couldn't help but look at each other.
Liu Qingyan turned her head and looked at the Buddha King who was lying on the ground, still mumbling about looking for a "boat", and her heart skipped a beat:
“Could it be that the Tianxie Cult is the royal bloodline of the Daqian Dynasty?
"They hide their identities and quietly develop their power, and now they want to wipe out the entire martial arts world and restore the rule of the Daqian Dynasty?
"This... this... once this news is exposed..."
"So, I pretended to kill Lord Buddha."
Chu Qing said:
"What he said in public during the day could be covered up because he was crazy.
“Even if someone is serious about it, it is difficult to investigate any details.
"After all, even for us, we are just speculating now..."
"Why are you worried about the news leaking?" Wan Chunhua wondered:
"Although this news is scary, even if it gets out, what will happen?"
"Everything in the world is the land of the king, and the shores of the land are all the ministers of the king."
Hua Jinnian flicked the folding fan in his hand and grinned:
“Although the Daqian Dynasty has been destroyed for three hundred years, if there are descendants of the Daqian Dynasty who stand up and make a call, it will inevitably affect the situation in the martial arts world.
"After all, they are covered with a skin called 'orthodoxy'."
“Who would recognize this?”
Wan Chunhua shook his head repeatedly:
"Besides, if this statement works, why doesn't the Tianxie Cult use it?"
"This skin is not for the Tianxie Cult to use."
Chu Qing tapped the tabletop twice with her fingertips:
“If our speculation is true, the Tianxie Cult obviously has no intention of restoring itself in a normal way.
“They act ruthlessly, using extremely cruel and vicious martial arts to enrich their own strength… Their goal is to pacify the martial arts world and unify the world.
“This authentic leather may have some effect if used among ordinary people.
“After all, even after three hundred years, the turbulent martial arts world has never erased the books of sages, and the words of heaven, earth, emperor, parents and teachers are still there. It’s just that the Daqian Dynasty is gone, and the objects of allegiance are only the leaders of local forces.
“But if the Tianxie Cult suddenly appears in this disguise, these people will definitely be shaken.
“The harder life gets, the more you want someone to take charge.
“After all, when there are many heroes ruling themselves, the good and the bad are mixed together, which will inevitably make people feel shaken.
“It’s hard for martial arts masters who have power and wealth to be moved by this… just like us.
"It won't happen just because someone from the Daqian Dynasty shows up.
“Unless what we have received now is still not enough, and those who are loyal to us cannot give us more, we will consider looking for another wise leader.
“But ordinary people’s loyalty is meaningless to the Tianxie Cult, and can even only add to their burden.
"It's not just a burden on the people, but also for the heroes on all sides to take advantage of it."
“I know this one.”
Liu Qingyan smiled and said:
"Hold the emperor hostage to control the other princes!!"
"Then this emperor is not so easy to blackmail... After all, he is the leader of the evil cult today, and his martial arts skills are said to be higher than those of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors."
Wu Qianhuan said with a smile.
"exactly."
Chu Qing nodded:
"But besides using the emperor to control the princes, there are also people who take advantage of the situation to make more use of it.
“Under the guise of loyalty and the skin of orthodoxy, they swallowed up other forces and disrupted the Jianghu pattern.
“There will also be people who will take advantage of the situation to resist… and use the opportunity to expand.
“There are too many variables in the end, even the Tianxie Cult cannot fully control it.
"Even worse, if a certain force claims allegiance but has its own army, will the cult kill them or not?
“Killed, people swore an oath of loyalty, but died at the hands of the Tianxie Cult.
“If we don’t kill it, we’ll just be nurturing a tiger to cause trouble.
“Not to mention, there are such beings as the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
“The leader of the Tianxie Cult may be invincible in the world, but it is not so easy to defeat the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
“Compared to killing people, it is more difficult to control people’s hearts.
“Therefore, the Tianxie Cult will not spread this news and cause changes in the martial arts world.
"They originally wanted to conquer the entire martial arts world with their absolute superiority. Those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish!
"Even if we have guessed this possibility, we cannot leak this news...
“What the Tianxie Cult cannot grasp, it is also difficult for us to grasp.
"The Southern Region has just formed an alliance, so there is no possibility of chaos due to this."
"This...this is too complicated."
Wan Chunhua thought about it several times:
"I hang around in the underworld, just thinking about revenge, I really don't know what's going on in those people's minds."
"The martial arts world may be full of swords and sabers, and the joy of revenge, but when it comes to them, it's all about weighing the pros and cons."
Chu Qing shook his head slightly.
Wu Qianhuan said:
“In fact, when the news about the Tianxie Cult is exposed, it should have a greater impact on them.
"After all, given their style of doing things, the Daqian Dynasty would definitely not be willing to take the blame so easily."
Chu Qing nodded:
“I guess, if all this is really as we think, then they should want to slowly announce their identities to the world after the overall situation has been determined.
“In one fell swoop, it went from being a cult to being orthodox.
“By then, there will be no more rivers and lakes in the world, the imperial court will be unified, and if we work hard to govern the country, it will not be difficult to win the hearts of the people and restore the former glory.
“Maybe they’ll even drag out a few scapegoats to take the blame for the Tianxie Cult’s actions.
"All in all, this news is not meaningless to us, but at this stage, no one can tell it."
Everyone nodded, indicating that they would not reveal a single detail.
Chu Qing glanced at Lord Buddha again, thought for a moment and said:
"It's a pity. I thought I could get more information from him."
Having said this, he pointed his finger, and the Buddha King's body shook and died on the spot.
He did this after some hesitation.
If the Great Law of Changing Heaven and Strike Earth is used, there may be a chance that Lord Buddha can regain his sanity... but the process will inevitably be extremely dangerous.
After all, the reason why Lord Buddha became like this was because of the [Boat Changing Sutra]. No one had ever experienced how terrible the backlash caused by this evil martial art was.
If Chu Qing forced himself to help him sort it out, he might get himself involved.
Now that he is surrounded by powerful enemies, Chu Qing would never risk his life in this way... As for searching for memories directly from his mind, the risks involved would be even greater.
This kind of thing is not worth it.
Instead of treating it as a problem, it is better to solve it directly.
"I don't know what the people in the Tianxie Cult think of this old man running over here like a madman...
"How about we take the Buddha King's body back to the Ten Absolute Caves and give them a great gift?"
Chu Qing's mouth curled up into a malicious smile, but then he shook his head, stood up and said:
“Ren Beiming, take his body away and burn it directly.
“Before he plays some resurrection trick on me again… I can only feel completely at ease when a person like him is burned to ashes.
“Lao Wan, you go with Ren Beiming.
“The rest of you can go back and have a good rest. You can stay at Tianyimen for another night.
"We have already discussed it with them today. Tomorrow morning, we will set off directly to the Ten Absolute Caves to bring back... the Ghost Emperor."
Hua Jinnian glanced at Chu Qing and chuckled:
"It's really crazy..."
