Chapter 524 Entering the Urn
"How can this be?"

Gash's bald head tilted slightly, and the light in his pupils changed from bewilderment to disbelief in an instant.

The next moment, he suddenly looked at Chu Qing:
"You stood guard beside the body for an hour that day..."

"You...you're the one who brought him back to life?"

"If it weren't for the Alliance Leader's extraordinary skills, I wouldn't have survived."

Cao Qiupu handed the human skin mask to Chu Qing, which was a painted mask given to him by Chu Qing.

Chu Qing used to use this to conceal his identity, but he no longer needs it. Of the three disguises, he gave one to Jiang Li, the former owner of Wanbaolou.

The other two were on Wu Qianhuan and Wenrou respectively. Chu Qing asked them for them and gave them to Cao Qiupu and Lingfei.

At the time, the reason given was that "the journey cannot be stopped," so the experts from all walks of life in the Southern Region were allowed to go ahead.

He then used the "Heavenly Ultimate Formless Divine Power" to revive Cao Qiupu.

To be honest, this is still quite dangerous.

Although his [Heavenly Ultimate Formless Divine Power] is powerful, there are still certain limitations in bringing a dead person back to life.

First, he must be able to heal the other person's injuries. If they are poisoned, and the toxins are not cleared, even if they come back to life, they will die again.

Secondly, there is a time limit for when the other party dies.

Fortunately, Cao Qiupu had the accident that night, and Chu Qing returned the next day.

That's the only way to save him. If it were delayed for a few more days, even Chu Qing wouldn't be able to save him... unless he obtained the Sacred Heart Technique.

Fortunately, Cao Qiupu only narrowly escaped death and recovered without any aftereffects.

Afterwards, Chu Qing brought out the painted skin and used it to disguise them.

It took some time before we caught up again.

Cao Qiupu and Lingfei later returned, summoned by the 'Alliance Leader's Order'.

As for those rumors, they were just illusions created by Chu Qing.

"So... the Alliance Leader knew it was me who did it half a month ago, but he never made a move during those two weeks."

"And what is the purpose of this?"

Gashyapa took a deep breath and gritted his teeth as he spoke.

Chu Qing smiled slightly:
"Brother Cao told me that Master Jiashe is plotting with someone to eliminate me."

"This matter is to be decided before the Jue Tian Pass."

"At the beginning of the great war, we must first eliminate the leader of the Southern Region Alliance, and then kill the heroes of the Southern Region."

"It's both funny and sad... Brother Bai likes to steal people's undergarments, and Brother Cao is worried that he will cause trouble when he goes out and ruin the code of brotherhood."

"Only then did they go out to search."

"I accidentally overheard your conspiracy, which led to my death."

"If you ask me, Brother Cao, are you really not going to consider my suggestion of horse meat dumplings?"

Cao Qiupu was speechless for a moment:
"Third brother...we're talking about serious matters."

"That's fine."

Chu Qing sighed:

"I'll keep that wretched horse of yours for a few more days."

"After hearing what Brother Cao said, I figured that if he wanted to kill me, he wouldn't be looking for ordinary people or average experts..."

"Now that all the experts from the Southern Region have gathered here, it is estimated that the number of people who have come to join us in the past half month, plus the disciples from various sects and forces, is large, although they are of varying quality."

"Now the number is no less than 100,000."

"Under these circumstances, you would never kill me in front of the heroes of the Southern Region."

"Thinking about it this way, I know not only when you will make your move, but also roughly how you will do it."

"Of course we'll cooperate. After all, why not go with the flow?"
"Wouldn't it be wonderful to lure out some experts then, so I can have some fun?"

"I see."

Kassa clasped his hands together in prayer:

"The reason why the Alliance Leader wants Ren Beiming to reveal the whole story of the investigation tonight is because..."

"They are forcing this humble monk to take action tonight."

"Delay will only lead to unforeseen changes. To some extent, it will be difficult for me to control your actions, but we must seize the right moment to act."

"After all, we're almost at Jue Tian Pass. If we take care of you before then, the outcome of this battle will be decided."

Chu Qing smiled slightly:
"What does Master Kassapa think?"

"The Alliance Leader possesses astonishing martial arts skills and exceptional wisdom. This humble monk admires him."

Kassa sighed softly and bowed with his hands clasped in prayer.

"Now that I have answered your questions, why don't you tell me why you chose to join the Heavenly Evil Cult?"

Chu Qing said:

"Although we haven't known each other for long, you are a holy monk who has reincarnated several times. How could you so easily submit to the Heavenly Evil Cult? This is something I really can't understand."

"Nothing more than the saying 'a wise man submits to circumstances.'"

Kassa said softly:

"When I returned to the Western Regions, I met my fellow disciples."

"Only then did I realize that the Great Sumeru Zen Temple had already submitted to the evil cult..."

"And it's not just the Great Sumeru Zen Temple."

"In the Western Regions, apart from the three families that were wiped out, the remaining city, the courtyard, the pavilion, and the manor have all submitted to the Heavenly Evil Sect."

"This trend is difficult to reverse, not to mention the Heavenly Evil Sect leader who is powerful throughout the world."

"I am but a monk, how could I possibly contend with him?"

"That's it?"

Chu Qing shook her head slightly:

"I do not believe it."

"...As the Earth Slaughtering Soldier Lord said beforehand, what the Heavenly Evil Cult wants is the world."

"One can use any means necessary to conquer the world, but one cannot govern the world by simply being ruthless and oppressive."

"The Heavenly Evil Sect is tolerant and inclusive, and it is not that it cannot accommodate other sects. As long as they eventually submit, they can still survive."

Kassa said helplessly:

"The Great Sumeru Zen Temple has a history of hundreds of years. If we are willing, we can grant you the position of National Preceptor when the world is unified."

"It seems that a century-old tradition does not necessarily equate to profound Buddhist teachings."

"Even through countless reincarnations, one cannot escape the blinding influence of greed."

When Chu Qing said this, he noticed a change in Jiashe's expression, so he waved his hand:
"Master, rest assured, I am not trying to insult you, it is merely a statement."

"After all, who can truly achieve the state of 'originally there is nothing, so where can dust settle?'"

"In this bustling world, profit and loss are commonplace; it's perfectly normal."

But after he finished speaking, Gashal's expression turned even more grim, and he nodded slightly:

"Now that things have come to this, this humble monk has nothing to say but to give his life."

As soon as he finished speaking, he swung his palm straight at the top of his head.

He had no intention of fighting Chu Qing. If Chu Qing was lured into a trap by him, that would be fine.

If others intervene, he could embellish the situation and boost their morale—that wouldn't be a bad thing.

But now, even a hundred Kashes wouldn't dare to fight against Chu Qing.

He had no intention of humiliating himself, so he decided to save face for himself.

Just as the palm was about to strike the top of his head, he suddenly felt a suction force surge towards him, and he was involuntarily thrown towards Chu Qing.

Chu Qing grabbed his wrist, and all his strength vanished instantly. He looked at Chu Qing with despair in his eyes:

"Does the Alliance Leader not even want to leave this humble monk a shred of dignity?"

Chu Qing smiled:
"Master is joking. Death is death, how can it be dignified?"
"But you can't die yet... You still have to come with me and lure out all the demons and monsters hiding in the shadows."

"So that I may capture them all in one fell swoop."

"...You want to take advantage of this humble monk?"

Jiashe felt a little strange, thinking that Chu Qing's idea and actions seemed somewhat unnecessary.

If they really wanted to take advantage of me, why would they have revealed this information?

Once I lure him into the trap, won't everything fall into place naturally?
Little did they know, Chu Qing was also quite troubled by this.

Even if Jiashe had ulterior motives, at least he did one thing that satisfied Chu Qing... he gave Chu Qing a commission to kill the Earth Slaughtering Soldier Lord.

If we had followed Kassapa directly into the trap, and things had gotten chaotic, Kassapa might have died in the process, completely unaware of what was happening.

Will that affect the mission of the Earth Slaughter Soldier Lord?

After all, the client is gone, so how can the mission still exist?
Therefore, the purpose of revealing the truth in advance was to control Kasher.

It puts him in a difficult position, making life impossible and death equally unbearable.

If the Earth Slaughtering Soldier Lord hadn't come tonight, after killing all the hidden masters, he would still have had to take this Jiashe back.

If the Earth Slaughtering Soldier Lord really comes, then kill the Earth Slaughtering Soldier Lord first, and then kill Kasha.

In this way, Chu Qing can obtain two rewards.

In short, before the Earth Slaughtering Soldier Lord dies, Gash must be under his control, which involves the treasure chest, and is a very serious matter.

However, Jiashe was confused and could not understand Chu Qing's superfluous actions.

Chu Qing had no intention of making him understand...

After giving Cao Qiupu and Lingfei a look, the two nodded.

Cao Qiupu began to take off his clothes, while Lingfei went to strip Jiashe of his clothes.

The entire monk Jiashe was dumbfounded:
"No, no, this is unacceptable... Young lady, please stop! This humble monk is a monk!"

Even though Cao Qiupu had a good temper, he couldn't help but get so angry upon hearing this that veins bulged on his forehead, and he couldn't resist tapping Jiashe's bald head with the hilt of his sword:
"If you say another word, I'll cut your bald head off."

Kassa immediately stopped and shut his mouth.

Soon the two of them exchanged clothes. Cao Qiupu touched his hair and looked at Chu Qing with some embarrassment.

"How about we shave it?"

Chu Qing asked tentatively.

"This...our body and hair are given to us by our parents."

Cao Qiupu was somewhat displeased, but then sighed:

"However, my life was saved by my third brother, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was my second parents."

"If you feel it's necessary, then I'll shave it."

"Don't shave it, it'll look awful. I'll feel so guilty if I sleep with a big bald head on my back at night."

Lingfei tried to stop it.

Chu Qing rolled her eyes:
"Doesn't Miss Lingfei feel as if she's had a different husband, and a monk at that? Wouldn't that be even more exciting?"

Lingfei thought for a moment:
"Don't say it, really don't say it..."

"What are you two talking about?"

Master Cao is not happy. Why are we talking about raunchy things?

Chu Qingyi laughed:
"Don't worry, Brother Cao, I don't need to shave your head. I have my own way of doing it."

As he spoke, he covered Gash's mouth with one hand, flicked his fingertips, and unbuttoned his clothes to reveal his chest and abdomen. Then, he twisted his hand over Gash's chest and abdomen, and when he picked it up, he had a piece of bloody human skin in his hand.

Jiashe was in excruciating pain and was knocked down by Chu Qing who pressed his pressure points and handed him over to Lingfei.

Chu Qing put the newly acquired mask back on Cao Qiupu's face, took out his tools and started working. In just a short while, a face that looked seven or eight parts similar to Jiashe appeared in front of them.

"In the pitch black, with that face, it's enough to fool anyone."

Lingfei nodded, acknowledging Chu Qing's skill.

Cao Qiupu looked at the bloody human skin that Chu Qing had placed to the side, his expression somewhat complicated:

"Third brother, are you planning to use this to cover my hair? Or should we wash it first?"

"It's natural."

Chu Qing then took out some tools and processed the human skin slightly.

Then, with practiced ease, he fixed Cao Qiupu's hair and put it on with a human skin.

Upon closer inspection, clues will naturally emerge.

Fortunately, no one will look into the details of what happened tonight.

Chu Qing even specially added a few ordination scars to make the scalp more realistic.

After everything was settled, Chu Qing said to Miss Lingfei:

"You have a compass in your hand. If you go back the way you came, you will soon encounter Tie Lingyun and the others."

"After we meet up with them, have them take good care of Kassapa and make sure nothing goes wrong... I don't want him to be alive and well, I just want him to stay alive, understand?"

Upon hearing this, Lingfei's spirits immediately lifted:
"clear."

Without saying that, he twisted and broke all four of Kassapa's limbs.

Chu Qing may have been a bit too heavy-handed; the pain of having his limbs twisted didn't even bring Jiashe back to consciousness.

This left Miss Lingfei feeling somewhat regretful...

No screams were heard.

But it's all for the best... When Cao Qiupu died, Lingfei felt as if the whole world was being torn apart before her eyes.

She couldn't imagine the despair and pain Cao Qiupu must have felt before his death, and now she only wanted to repay that pain to Kasher a hundredfold.

He had previously worried that Chu Qing might use him for other purposes, so he dared not make a move easily.

Having received Chu Qing's suggestion, they were able to act more freely.

Chu Qing glanced at it and said:
"It's still not safe. Remember to sever his tendons in his hands and feet, and cripple his dantian and qi sea."

"……it is good."

Lingfei glanced at Chu Qing secretly, wondering how she could have been so audacious as to dare to kill him back then.

If it weren't for Cao Qiupu, I would have lost eight hundred lives.

After giving instructions to Miss Lingfei and watching her leave, Chu Qing gently patted Cao Qiupu's shoulder:

"Brother Cao, this journey is fraught with danger. I may not be able to protect you in the fight. You must be extremely careful."

"Don't worry, Third Brother."

"That's good."

Chu Qing's voice came directly into Cao Qiupu's ears:

"Follow my command, let's go."

Although Jiashe hadn't led Chu Qing and the others into the trap yet, Chu Qing already knew where it was.

He had already sensed the ambush around him when he arrived here.

However, his martial arts skills were too strong; he could detect others, but others could not detect him.

Now, he used his celestial voice to guide them, and the two of them, one in front and one behind, arrived at a certain place after a short while.

The moment they stopped, a crane's cry echoed through the heavens.

In the blink of an eye, a figure enveloped in an invisible aura had already arrived in front of them.

Another voice roared angrily:
"【Three Elements Transformation Finger】!"
