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

Chapter 572 Night Emperor's Enlightenment Sutra
In Dongfang Jinghong's view, Song Chengdao was a guy who had been missing for many years and suddenly returned to the First Path.

He was unaware of the intricacies of the situation; all he knew was that this man had been away from the First Rank for many years and had finally returned. It was the perfect time to reorganize the First Rank and regain control of the government.

How could they possibly appear out of nowhere in a dilapidated manor in the Eastern Region?

Song Chengdao smiled slightly, but ignored Dongfang Jinghong and instead looked at Chu Qing:
"It's been a long time. How have you been, Alliance Leader Chu?"

Dongfang Jinghong's face darkened; his role as the Sword Emperor was becoming increasingly boring.

Chu Qing didn't take him seriously and even looked down on him a little... Although Chu Qing never said it, don't underestimate the observational abilities of someone who was one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

When Dongfang Jinghong was drinking with Chu Qing today, he noticed that the way Chu Qing looked at him sometimes carried a strange sense of pity.

Song Chengdao went even further...

Although the First Path is a reclusive sect in Zhongzhou, Song Chengdao, as its leader, holds an equally revered position.

But you, the mighty Blade Emperor, are just ignoring me like this? Isn't that a bit too outrageous?
Chu Qing didn't have time to speak to Song Chengdao. She just nodded to him, casually threw the person in her palm to the ground, and then went to the person that Song Chengdao had knocked down.

Upon seeing this, Song Chengdao then clasped his hands in a fist salute to Dongfang Jinghong:

"Greetings, Sword Emperor."

"...You don't need to have seen it."

Dongfang Jinghong also had a bit of a temper. These people were treating him, the Sword Emperor, like he was nothing.

Song Chengdao chuckled lightly:
"The Sword Emperor is so old, why does he still act like a child?"

"The reason I am here is because I was invited by Alliance Leader Chu... Not only me, but many people from the First Path have already quietly entered the Eastern Region."

Dongfang Jinghong was startled and suddenly looked at Chu Qing:

"Why did you send the people from the First Path to the Eastern Region?"

After saying that, he looked at Song Chengdao again:
"No... he told you to come, so you come? Why weren't you guys in the First Division always this obedient before?"

The first sect's ultimate technique, the "Original Path Opening Scripture," is quite remarkable, and it is said that all martial arts in the world originate from this scripture.

Therefore, the first route is very grand... even the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors might not give it face.

So, Chu Qing asked them to come, and they came?
Just now, Song Chengdao was talking to Chu Qing, but Chu Qing ignored him, and he wasn't angry... What exactly is the relationship between these two?
"So it was the Heavenly Evil Cult, a general under the Seven Killings Soldier Master."

Chu Qing had already stood up and said to Song Chengdao:
"How did you find this place?"

Chu Qing asked him to come to the Eastern Region, but he didn't say that we should meet here.

The discovery of this place was purely accidental.

"Ever since I returned to the First Path, I have been investigating Li Juechen."

"I happened to be in this area these past two days, and remembering the clues I was investigating, I learned about this villa... so I thought I'd come and take a look."

"I never expected to meet the Alliance Leader here again."

Song Chengdao said with a smile:

"I thought we would meet at Zhaixia Mountain."

"Zhaixia Mountain?"

Dongfang Jinghong asked again:

Why did you arrange to meet there?

He followed Chu Qing to find Li Juechen, but he had not yet made a choice between prioritizing the greater good and seeking personal revenge.

Chu Qing did not tell him that the Underworld Assembly would be held at Zhaixia Mountain.

He naturally didn't understand.

However, some things can be guessed even if they are not said, after all, Song Chengdao just said that he was investigating Li Juechen.

So, after asking the question, Dongfang Jinghong realized something before Chu Qing could answer:
"Will Li Juechen go to Zhaixia Mountain?"

Chu Qing shook his head:
Whether I will go or not is still uncertain... but it is an opportunity nonetheless.

"However, we'll discuss this matter later. Let's take a look at these two first."

As he spoke, his gaze fell on the two people on the ground.

"Why are members of the Heavenly Evil Cult here?"

Dongfang Jinghong was the first to raise a question.

The Eastern Region is currently under the control of the Seven Killers, and these people seem to have made up their minds not to show themselves easily.

Instead, he wandered aimlessly throughout the martial arts world...

Today we attack a sect, tomorrow we slaughter an entire city.

There are no sects in the entire Eastern Region that can be called a name anymore.

The rites and music collapsed, and order was broken.

This has become the darkest period in the Eastern Regions in the past few centuries.

They used the "Killing Manual" to continuously improve their own strength.

However, while the "Murder Manual" is powerful, it ultimately has its limits. At this stage, no matter how many people they kill, their improvement is still limited.

The Seven Killers, leading this group of experts, clearly intended to act as a surprise force... Their real target should be the Southwest Region, where Chu Qing is stationed.

There's no reason for them to cause trouble in Li Juechen's territory.

The question that Dongfang Jinghong wanted to know was also the question that Chu Qing wanted to know, so he went up to the general and spoke softly:
"The Sword Emperor has something to ask you. Speak the truth, and I can give you a quick death."

The general remained silent, only giving a cold laugh.

Unfortunately, the people he met today were not ordinary people, and they didn't care whether he spoke or not.

Seeing that Chu Qing was about to make a move, Song Chengdao smiled and said:

"Alliance Leader Chu, please calm down. There's no need for you to take action. Just watch my methods."

"Oh?"

Chu Qing smiled, stood up, and took two steps back:

"In that case, please, Daoist Master, make your move."

Without hesitation, Song Chengdao flicked his finger and pressed it onto the man's forehead.

In just a moment, Chu Qing noticed that the man's eyes were empty, and his mind seemed to have been taken away.

Then Song Chengdao spoke calmly:
"I ask, you answer... Who are you?"

"Wang Quanhui, a general under the Seven Killings Soldier Master of the Heavenly Evil Sect!"

Wu Qianhuan, Wenrou, and Mutong'er exchanged glances, all finding it somewhat amusing.

This name doesn't sound like someone from the martial arts world at all.

Chu Qing thought it was fine... Who said that the names of people in the martial arts world had to be mysterious and impressive?
The plenary session... What a wonderful name! It implies that the child is capable of everything and embodies the parents' hopes for their child.

Song Chengdao didn't pay attention to these trivial details, and continued to ask:

"Why are you here?"

"We came for the [Heavenly Corpse Token]."

Upon hearing this, Song Chengdao looked at Chu Qing.

Chu Qing frowned:

"How could it be the [Heavenly Corpse Token] instead of the [Five Ghosts Heavenly Corpse Token]?"

Song Chengdao repeated this question.

But Wang Quan clearly didn't know much about this, and simply stubbornly repeated:

"We came for the [Heavenly Corpse Token]."

"Did the Seven Killers Soldier Lord send him?"

Chu Qing asked again, and Song Chengdao relayed the question.

Wang Quanhui then said:

"It was the sect leader who gave the order, instructing the warlord to search for the [Heavenly Corpse Token]!"

Upon hearing the mention of the Heavenly Evil Cult Leader, Dongfang Jinghong couldn't help but glance at Chu Qing.

Chu Qing nodded slightly, telling him to calm down:
"Have you ever mentioned what's so special about this [Heavenly Corpse Token]?"

"The sect leader said that the Five Ghosts Heavenly Corpse Order seems to have profound mysteries. The chapter on exorcising ghosts in the Heavenly Corpse Order must have secrets. We can take it as a reference and examine it."

How did you know there was a [Heavenly Corpse Token] here?

"It is rumored that Li Juechen created the Five Ghosts Corpse Order and five strange divine skills using the Original Path Scripture."

"By continuously improving upon the techniques of the young and strong... however, an anomaly emerged, who accidentally mastered the [Heavenly Corpse Token] ultimate skill, breaking free from the constraints of the [Five Ghosts Heavenly Corpse Token] and fleeing the manor. "But this place is not completely abandoned; there are experts who have cultivated the techniques created by Li Juechen, who often linger nearby."

"Therefore, the sect leader suspects that the secret of achieving the [Heavenly Corpse Token] is still preserved here, which is why he sent me here to investigate and search for it."

These words reminded Chu Qing of the notebook that Wenrou had found, and the name Yu Jiang that was written in it.

Why didn't the Heavenly Evil Cult Leader go directly to Yu Jiang after investigating so much?

When asked, the answer was that the Heavenly Evil Sect also did not know Yu Jiang's whereabouts.

After leaving this place, Yu Jiang seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace of him.

"This is interesting..."

Chu Qing stroked his chin:
"Neither the Heavenly Evil Sect nor Li Juechen are easy to deal with."

"Even if Yu Jiang accidentally mastered a unique skill like the [Heavenly Corpse Token], it would be impossible for him to hide it so thoroughly under the search of this massive force."

"There are probably other people pulling the strings behind the scenes."

"It must have been done by the Ancient Emperor Yi Sheng and his group!"

Dongfang Jinghong said with a smile:

"Li Juechen is trying to play tricks right under our noses. It's not that easy."

“He has acted perversely and done things that are utterly inhuman… Yi Sheng must have known about the suffering Yu Jiang had endured, which is why he hid him to prevent him from being harmed by Li Juechen.”

But after he finished speaking, he noticed that Chu Qing's gaze held a kind of pity that he couldn't quite put his finger on.

In other words, he didn't ask. Otherwise, Chu Qing would probably have told him that his gaze was meant to show care for children with intellectual disabilities.

Song Chengdao also gave Dongfang Jinghong a strange look, and sighed:

"After all these years, how can you still be so naive?"

Chu Qing couldn't help but click her tongue when she heard him say that.

Song Chengdao's face immediately turned red... He knew that Chu Qing was mocking him for being deceived by Li Juechen.

To cover his embarrassment, he coughed lightly:
"Will you continue asking?"

"Ask him where the Seven Executioners are now?"

Chu Qing thought that if he was nearby, he could go and kill him on the way.

While we're at it, let's clean up the Eastern Regions...

However, this might attract Li Juechen's attention.

Let's talk about it after the fifth day of the tenth lunar month.

Anyway, there aren't many days left.

However, Chu Qing and the others were not satisfied with Wang Quan's answer.

The Seven Killers are now planning to use guerrilla tactics, and will never stay in one place for more than two days.

Therefore, although Wang Quan was sent out to investigate the "Heavenly Corpse Order," he still needed to find it through secret marks or similar means if he wanted to rejoin the team.

After asking a few more questions, Chu Qing waved for Song Chengdao to release him.

Wang Quan instantly regained his senses and remembered everything that had just happened, his face turning ashen.

Chu Qing didn't give him time to wallow in self-pity; she reached out and pressed her hand against his head.

The Heaven-Shattering Earth-Shattering Technique quietly activated, and after a moment he released Wang Quan Hui and said to Wen Rou:

Do you have any writing brush, ink, paper, or inkstone on you?

"Have."

Wenrou has a habit of carrying these things with her.

She took out her small bag, picked and chose, and after a moment, took out a notebook.

Just as he was about to hand it to Chu Qing, Chu Qing, for some reason, waved his hand:

"I said, you write it."

"it is good."

Gently nodded:

"Third Brother, you're becoming more and more self-aware."

Chu Qing's lips twitched, and he reached out and gently tapped her on the forehead.

Wenrou didn't take it seriously at all, and said while rubbing her head:

"Say it."

Chu Qing thought for a moment, and a slow smile appeared on her lips:
"The way of heaven is to make up for the excess of damage and make up for the deficiency..."

The opening passage of the Nine Yin Manual from his previous life can be described as something he could recite off the cuff.

This passage is taken from the Tao Te Ching, and naturally contains profound meaning in simple words.

Then, Chu Qing combined his understanding of the martial art "Five Ghosts Heavenly Corpse Order" with many seemingly plausible but ultimately flawed martial arts principles.

In terms of content, it can be described as unconventional, going for the most thrilling and bizarre things possible.

He spoke a total of 2,300 words.

He then kept one of the inner pages and named it "The Enlightenment Scripture of the Night Emperor".

They tore off that page and had Wenrou write the words "Heavenly Corpse Order" on the cover.

Only then did he place the 'book' on Wang Quan Hui's body. With a wave of his hand, Wang Quan Hui stood up blankly.

"Still not leaving?"

Chu Qing spoke.

Wang Quan immediately leaped away and was gone in the blink of an eye.

Chu Qing glanced at Wang Quan's departing figure with a half-smile, then threw the piece of paper with the words "Night Emperor's Enlightenment Scripture" written on it on the ground.

Dongfang Jinghong frowned:

"Will this work? What did you do to him?"

“I made him think that I had erased his memory.”

Chu Qing did not hide anything.

Dongfang Jinghong felt like her head was full of stars. Why did this sound like a tongue twister?
Song Chengdao seemed to be deep in thought:
"In other words, he knew you had tampered with his memory and thought you had succeeded, but in reality, the memory was not erased."

"He will think that you made a mistake."

"exactly."

"Then this secret manual you wrote..."

“He heard me clearly when I read it just now.”

Dongfang Jinghong was speechless for a moment:
"What's the use of this thing?"

"They know everything you've done, so they definitely know the manual is fake. Do they really expect the Heavenly Evil Cult Leader to practice this fake manual?"

"...No one else would have done that."

Chu Qing said softly:

"But you two must not forget that the leader of the Heavenly Evil Cult is known as the number one genius in the Heavenly Evil Cult for hundreds of years."

"But now, this number one genius has been defeated at Yue Song Mountain, leaving behind a bad reputation."

He was arrogant, conceited, and had an extreme temperament.

"Even if he knows the manual is fake, as long as he knows it came from me, he will definitely take it and examine it carefully."

"To distinguish truth from falsehood..."

"However, everything written in this manual is ambiguous and difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood."

“Once he tries to distinguish truth from falsehood, he will surely go astray.”

Wu Qianhuan suddenly grinned:
"But what if he actually succeeds?"

"Don't worry, he won't succeed..."

Chu Qing gently shook her head:

"Practicing the wrong divine skill and achieving astonishing supernatural powers... I'm not the protagonist of a novel, how could it be so easy?"
