I was chased at the beginning, and I got the first quick sword

Chapter 506 Ghosts and gods have no moral principles, the law is naturally formed!
"Can I possibly know why my own father insisted on killing me?"

The battle within the Tianxie Sect's Xiaoqiu stronghold was nearing its end. Liu Zhaonian, Tianfengzi, and the others were all wounded, but none of them had the time to stay put and wait for treatment.

Chu Qing disappeared after his battle with the Ghost Emperor, and Wu Qianhuan and Wenrou went ahead to search for him.

They followed closely behind.

The group had just gathered when this extremely abrupt voice suddenly rang out above them.

Liu Zhaonian suddenly looked up:
"What kind of trick is this? Where is the sound coming from?"

Wu Qianhuan frowned:
"That's Hua Jinnian's voice."

"That……"

Just as I was thinking this, I heard a familiar voice:

"Yes, you say I am not worthy to know the reason, but as your daughter, she must have the right to know why her father killed her, right?"

"Don't talk about the greater good of the martial world... that's all nonsense. After all, even if you were really controlled by the [Heavenly Demon Mind Control Technique], the person who should have been killed was me, not her."

"Ultimately, there's only one truth: you want to use the [Heavenly Demon Mind Control Technique] as an excuse to kill your daughter!"
"But why is that?"

Upon hearing this voice, Wu Qianhuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the hand that was gripping the sword tightly relaxed slightly.

That's Chu Qing's voice.

He's alright... at least he's still alive and kicking.

They are now at the very spot where Chu Qing had previously fought the Ghost Emperor.

When the Ghost Emperor used his move "Six Paths of Sorrow," he blasted Chu Qing from the ground into the ground, leaving behind a huge crater.

Now everyone has gathered around this pit.

But the sound seemed to flow down from beyond the heavens...

It makes one subconsciously suspect that they might be hiding inside the clouds above.

But tonight the stars are everywhere, and there isn’t a single cloud in sight. Where could it possibly be hiding?
The only thing that made Wu Qianhuan feel a little relieved was that Chu Qing was still alive... As long as he was alive, with his abilities, no matter what situation he fell into, he would definitely be able to come back.

The others present couldn't help but exchange bewildered glances after hearing Chu Qing's voice transmitted through the communication bell.

Chu Qing's words revealed a great deal of information.

First, the Ghost Emperor wanted to kill his own daughter.

Secondly, he was not controlled by the [Heavenly Demon Mind Control Technique], therefore the Tomb King's scheme had failed.

Once again... the Ghost Emperor, who was not controlled by the [Heavenly Demon Mind Control Technique], still wanted to kill his daughter...

What's all this fuss about?
Some people were completely confused and didn't understand, but others realized the problem.

"Could it be... that something has happened to the Ghost Emperor?"

"How is that possible? That's the mighty Ghost Emperor!"

"So what if he's the Ghost Emperor? That was clearly the Alliance Leader's voice just now. The Alliance Leader said that the Ghost Emperor wasn't controlled by the [Heavenly Demon Mind Control Technique]. In other words, the one who was making things difficult for the Alliance Leader just now wasn't the Heavenly Evil Sect, but the Ghost Emperor!"

"The leader of the alliance came to save him, but was worried about hurting his life. Knowing that the Tomb King could not fight back, he waited for a full quarter of an hour."

"Who would have thought that this would lead to such a disaster for me!"

"The Ghost Emperor actually harbors malicious intentions?!"

"Nonsense! The mighty Ghost Emperor... does he intend to pledge allegiance to the Heavenly Evil Cult?"

Numerous discussions erupted in an instant.

Suddenly, a sharp shout was heard:
"shut up!!!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a ferocious-looking girl in green, covered in blood, standing in the crowd. Her eyebrows were raised in anger, and her eyes were filled with rage.

"You...you must not believe everything you hear."

"How dare you discuss the Ghost Emperor? This is simply... outrageous!!"

"Sun Xiaoxiang in green!?"

"So it was her... I heard that after she was kicked out of her home, she was rescued by the Ghost Emperor, who taught her all his skills. No wonder she reacted so strongly."

"But would the alliance leader lie?"

"There is absolutely no such possibility! The Alliance Leader led us to destroy the Heavenly Evil Cult, and his actions are obvious to all. I would rather doubt the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors than doubt the Alliance Leader!"
"When the Heavenly Evil Cult wreaked havoc in Lingbei, neither the Three Sovereigns nor the Five Emperors came to our aid; only the Alliance Leader appeared to slay the evil demon!"

"That's right, the Alliance Leader is selfless and devoted to the public good; how can others presume to speculate about him..."

Just as they were discussing it, that voice rang out again.

This time, however, the voice that came through was deep and resonant, yet carried a hint of eeriness:
"Fine, I'll take care of you after all."

"Even though you're about to die, you should at least die with your eyes open in peace!"

"That's right, I will indeed kill you... and I must kill you with my own hands!!"

Upon hearing this voice, Sun Xiaoxiang froze on the spot, instinctively shaking her head.
"Impossible...how is this possible?"

"What's the point of saying anything now?"

"That's right, the Ghost Emperor is so ruthless and cruel... He even killed his own daughter... Even tigers don't eat their cubs, yet the Ghost Emperor is worse than that beast!?"

"You...you shut up..."

Sun Xiaoxiang still couldn't help but scold him... but her confidence was already waning.

Her own life was tragic; she was kidnapped because of her beauty and was only freed after being disfigured.

Her family hated her for losing her virginity, and not only did they ignore her, they also kicked her out of the house.

When she was freezing and starving to the point of death, if it weren't for the Ghost Emperor's rescue, she would have been a handful of dust long ago.

Even now, after hearing what the Ghost Emperor said in person, she still couldn't believe that the Ghost Emperor who saved her, or rather, gave her a second life, was such a person.

There must be a reason... Oh, right!
"【Heavenly Demon Mind Control Technique】!"
"Your Majesty the Ghost Emperor must have pretended to be affected by the [Heavenly Demon Mind Control Technique] and deliberately attacked his daughter."

"But in reality, it certainly won't hit any vital points; it's just a way to deceive the Tomb King and his men."

"Yes, that must be it!!!"

Among all the reasons, Sun Xiaoxiang found a lifeline.

However, this statement could not convince others, after all, the Ghost Emperor had just said in front of everyone, "This Emperor is indeed going to kill you."

In this situation, it's not something that can be changed with just a few words.

Inside the tomb of the First Martial Emperor, Chu Qing and Hua Jinnian exchanged a glance, neither quite understanding.

Seeing the expressions on their faces, the Ghost Emperor suddenly smiled:
"At this point, there seems to be no need to hide anything anymore."

"To tell you the truth, the Ghost Emperor lineage has reached a bottleneck in its inheritance..."

"In the past two cycles of sixty years, my lineage has suffered two consecutive defeats at the gathering of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors."

"Well, given your limited knowledge, you simply couldn't possibly know about the gathering of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors."

"You don't need to know that much... Just know that this meeting is held once every 60 years, and all the distribution of benefits takes place during this meeting."

"Even worse, if they lose three games in a row, they will be kicked out of the ranks of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors."

Chu Qing frowned:

"What does this have to do with you killing your daughter?"

After a brief silence, the Ghost Emperor finally spoke:
"Since I ascended the throne, I have painstakingly integrated the martial arts of my lineage."

"He unites the six realms, controls reincarnation, determines life and death, and communicates with spirits and deities!"
"In the end, he created an unprecedented divine skill, named the [Path of Ghosts and Gods]!"
"However, gods have their ways, and ghosts have their rules."

"To cultivate the [Path of Ghosts and Gods], one must cultivate with ghosts and gods."

"This method is of the highest level; one must absorb pure spirit and enter into divinity, forming a divine body, achieving both the nature of ghost and spirit, and then unite with oneself before one can hope to achieve great success. "However... the nature of divinity is ruthless, regarding all things as straw dogs. The nature of ghost is cruel and wicked, slaughtering all living beings like weeds."

"I was a genius in my youth and was able to comprehend the ultimate technique of [the Way of Ghosts and Gods], but achieving divinity is simply too difficult."

"Therefore, this Emperor enters the human way with the utmost affection and nature, and then transforms the human way into the divine way."

"I barely managed to attain godhood."

"The Ghost Chapter is much simpler... In the end, it's just six words: 'He doesn't recognize his own family'!"
“When evil spirits return, even their closest relatives will be sacrificed.”

"This is a ghost chapter!"
"You asked me why I killed my own daughter... that's the reason."

"If I do not kill her, how can the [Way of Ghosts and Gods] be perfected?"
"If the [Path of Ghosts and Gods] fails, how can I, the Emperor, turn defeat into victory and preserve the title of Ghost Emperor?"

Hua Jinnian listened blankly, until his face was completely drained of color.

The shepherd boy was also dumbfounded:
"For this reason, you actually killed your own daughter? You, do you have any humanity left?"

"Humanity? Humanity is of no use to this emperor."

The Ghost Emperor spoke calmly.

Chu Qing glanced at Hua Jinnian and gently patted her shoulder.

Hua Jinnian shook his head slightly and gave a bitter laugh:
"So, in that case, aren't my mother and I... just a joke?"
"When I was young, I thought that fathers were kind and daughters were filial. Even after you had your mother and then your aunt, my attitude towards you never changed much."

"Because at least I believe that your feelings for your mother are genuine."

"But now... what are you telling me?"
"You say that you enter the human realm with 'the deepest feelings and true nature,' and enter the ghost realm with 'disowning even one's own family.'"

"In reality, you are neither the most sentimental nor the most ruthless person..."

"You have neither deep affection for my mother nor disown my family."

"Everything is just a tool for you to use."

"The so-called divine and ghostly doctrines... in the final analysis, are nothing more than a thought in your mind."

The Ghost Emperor was slightly taken aback, as if he wanted to refute something.

But then he found himself speechless.

Instead, he seemed to have a sudden realization, and finally chuckled softly:
"I have two daughters. Ling'er is naturally carefree, ambitious but lacking in talent, and is far inferior to you."

"Indeed, only you, Xin'er, are most like me."

"It's not just the resemblance in appearance, but more importantly, this talent... even surpasses mine."

"You're right. Compared to humanity, I am closer to divinity."

"All things under heaven are merely things to be used, and the life and death of all living beings are of no importance to me."

"Therefore, the way of the gods... the ghost chapter, is actually just one thing."

"Why must we confront gods and ghosts? Why must we have such clear-cut stances?"

As he spoke, the Ghost Emperor's true energy surged continuously, and his aura grew ever stronger.

The shepherd boy glared at Hua Jinnian, his eyes wide with anger.
"You...you came here to help your father break through?"

"me……"

Hua Jinnian's words were meant to express his grief, as he had seen through his father's true colors. He never imagined they would lead to such consequences.

He immediately gritted his teeth:

"You guys go first!!"

Chu Qing glanced at the hint that he had previously hidden.

[Triggered Request: Assassinate the Ghost Emperor Modo!]

【Do you want to receive it? 】

The bright red lettering, resembling blood-red ink of extreme thickness, fully demonstrated the difficulty of this mission.

But Chu Qing didn't hesitate at all and chose to accept it directly.

He then grabbed Hua Jinnian's shoulder:
"Why would I leave? If I leave, you will surely die. I promised to help you kill him, and I keep my word."

"But……"

Before Hua Jinnian could say anything more, an extremely strong gale suddenly swept across all directions.

She was involuntarily pushed away. Even though she had used her family's secret techniques, she couldn't stop the gale that the Ghost Emperor naturally generated by his cultivation.

For a moment, I wanted to slap myself twice...

It's all my fault for being so talkative; otherwise, things wouldn't have come to this.
But who could have imagined that the Ghost Emperor would gain enlightenment from these few words?

Then the Ghost Emperor raised his eyes, and two deep purple lights flowed in his eyes. The ghostly aura that surrounded him was no longer the same.

The Six Realms, birth and death, reincarnation, and ghosts and gods.

For him, it no longer meant anything.

Every gesture is exquisite!

"Gods and demons have no law; the law is naturally formed!"

The Ghost Emperor's voice rose amidst the fierce winds:

"You brat, watch out!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly sent out a finger. The finger force was like a shooting star, and deep purple true energy swirled around the finger force. The flowing light was unstoppable!
Chu Qing exhaled a breath of turbid air, and with a hum, his indestructible golden body, enveloped in yin and yang energies, roared like dragons, and was surrounded by sword energy.

The ultimate sword intent moves with the will of the heart, a single sword can separate worlds!
"not good!!!"

Seeing this, Hua Jinnian knew how powerful it was... With these two forces colliding, how could anyone in this area, apart from Chu Qing and the Ghost Emperor, possibly survive?
He immediately moved with a swift movement, appearing beside the shepherd boy like a ghost.

Just as they were about to take them away, they felt an invisible force pulling them both backward, causing them to fly backward and fall into the many traps of the First Martial Emperor's Tomb.

Chu Qing's voice echoed in their minds:

"The gate of life is... I don't know where it is... Just follow my strength and go forward. I can't worry about you for now."

A deafening roar erupted at that moment.

At that time, Hua Jinnian and the shepherd boy had not yet landed from mid-air.

They watched helplessly as the Martial Emperor Pavilion was annihilated into dust by the force of these two attacks.

The overflowing power formed a strong wind, blowing the two backwards. If it weren't for the remaining force of Chu Qing's attack on them, they would have been torn apart by the aftershocks of their fight before they even landed.

Even so, when he finally fell to the ground, he was completely disoriented.

"Third brother!!"

Hua Jinnian stood up, wanting to move forward again.

The shepherd boy held her tightly:
"Don't go there, it's no use. This is not a level we can get involved in."

That's the level of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors!

"The only thing we can do is protect ourselves... Let's get out of here first. Damn it, I finally managed to build a pill furnace, and it's probably all turned to dust now."

Hua Jinnian knew she couldn't help, so he gritted his teeth:
"Then how do we get out?"

"How was I supposed to know? He said the exit should be in this direction, we..."

The shepherd boy had just finished speaking when his gaze suddenly froze, and his voice abruptly stopped.

Hua Jinnian didn't know what was wrong with her, so he turned his head to look and saw her staring at a little hamster.

"Rice cereal?"
