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

Chapter 574 I often have this kind of dream
The leader of the Heavenly Evil Cult traveled a great distance from the Heavenly Evil Cult's headquarters to the Eastern Region.

It wasn't for the book "The Enlightened Scripture of the Night Emperor" compiled by Chu Qing; in fact, he stumbled upon it by accident.

The disappearance of Luo Kongming, the Fist King among the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, seems to be a watertight matter.

However, the Heavenly Evil Cult is known for its great supernatural powers, so obtaining this information was not particularly difficult for them.

Following the clues, the leader of the Heavenly Evil Cult quickly found Li Juechen.

Only then did I learn that there was another one called the [Heavenly Corpse Token].

Just then, he was deducing the Maha Boundless, but he was constantly suffering backlashes and could not obtain it even after exhausting his efforts. Now that he knew there was another method called the "Heavenly Corpse Order" which was based on the "Original Path Sutra", he thought of using the stones from other mountains to polish his jade.

However, the investigation uncovered some less obvious details that seemed to involve Wanbaolou, which led to the decision to take matters into their own hands.

On the one hand, the matter was of great importance; on the other hand, he, the dignified leader of the Heavenly Evil Cult, was now truly feeling... that he had no one to rely on.

Two of the four great military leaders are dead, the Wenxin Pavilion has been completely destroyed, and the twelve holy kings are almost defunct.

He brought along the remaining surviving Prince Meng and Prince Xi, as well as two capable Holy Maidens from the Heavenly Evil Sect.

That's how they built up enough momentum.

Two days ago, however, he received some extremely bad news.

Those below discovered that Chu Qing was also in the Eastern Region.

This infuriated the leader of the Heavenly Evil Cult, and at the same time, it served as a constant warning in his mind.

He subconsciously suspected that Chu Qing had come to the Eastern Region to hunt him down.

On second thought, however, something didn't seem right.

No one knew that he had come to the Eastern Region. Even if Chu Qing had great abilities, it was impossible for him to plant a spy at the headquarters of the Heavenly Evil Sect.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to go to such lengths; wouldn't it have been simpler to just unite with the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and attack directly?

In the end, the leader of the Heavenly Evil Cult attributed it all to coincidence...

But even if it's a coincidence, there has to be a reason.

The reason for this cannot be found out yet, and he did not come here for Chu Qing.

In the beginning, the Heavenly Evil Cult continuously accumulated power in order to sweep across the entire world with overwhelming force.

But as it turns out, there are always people in this world who are unwilling to live according to other people's wishes.

The martial arts world has never lacked unparalleled geniuses.

The times create heroes, and the hero created today is Chu Qing, not the leader of the Heavenly Evil Cult.

This massive plan has now fallen apart.

Therefore, if the leader of the Heavenly Evil Cult wanted to succeed, he had to find another way.

Fortunately, this martial world is no longer the domain of the Heavenly Evil Sect, nor the domain of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. Although Chu Qing occupies two domains and his power is boundless.

However, to say that it would unify the world was still a long way off.

Although Wanbaolou's Tianxia Alliance is hiding in the abyss, it will eventually emerge.

The secret path that the leader of the Heavenly Evil Cult is looking for lies right here.

However, whether it will succeed is still uncertain... The Heavenly Evil Cult Leader actually dislikes situations where things are not under his control.

But now he has no other choice.

At first, he thought it was simple: all he had to do was kill Chu Qing, and everything would be solved.

However, the results were not as expected, and many plans were disrupted as a result.

After rubbing the [Night Emperor's Enlightenment Scripture] in his hand again, the Heavenly Evil Cult Leader slowly exhaled and uttered four words:
"According to the plan."

……

……

Although Chu Qingyu also had some tentacles, they were clearly not as effective as those of the Heavenly Evil Sect, so he had no idea that the Heavenly Evil Sect leader had already arrived in the Eastern Region.

They have now arrived at the foot of Zhaixia Mountain.

The fifth day of the tenth lunar month is tomorrow...

It is now evening.

The autumn wind was bleak, and the night was slightly chilly.

The first group has already assembled. There are quite a few people here this time, at least more than last time at Xiahewan...

Zhang Mo, Wu Ding, Bai Sheng, and Qian Cheng, these four masters, were also present.

To Chu Qing's surprise, even Jiang Li came.

Chu Qing stood with his hands behind his back on a cliff edge, gazing at the night scenery.

Jiang Li stood beside him, still wearing the same mask on her face.

Chu Qing glanced at her:
"How's this painted skin?"

"It doesn't stick even after wearing it for a long time, it's a good product."

Jiang Li chuckled softly:
"Alliance Leader Chu, you suddenly mentioned this item; is it so that I, a humble woman, may be filled with gratitude?"

Chu Qing smiled wryly upon hearing this:
"It seems that Master Jiang has been doing quite well lately, he's even joking around now."

Chu Qing is not the kind of person who takes advantage of kindness, and Jiang Li is not someone who lacks emotional intelligence.

That was clearly a joke.

Jiang Li took a deep breath:
"It was truly an unprecedented sense of ease."

Chu Qing glanced at her silently:
How much do you know about the World Alliance?

Jiang Li glanced at Chu Qing:
"What is that? I have no idea."

Chu Qing didn't detect any deception in Jiang Li's gaze. He pondered for a moment, and then recounted the story of Jian Jiu and Huangfu Changkong.

Jiang Li's expression grew increasingly serious, and only after Chu Qing finished speaking did she speak in a deep voice:
"In that case, perhaps I am not completely ignorant of this so-called Alliance of the World; at least I have some traces of it."

"When we were at Xiahewan, the way I manipulated Huangfu Yixiao was by saying I wanted to write a letter to Huangfu Changkong..."

"This is not because I have a particularly good relationship with Huangfu Changkong, or Jian Jiu."

"It's because the head manager once said that he had a very close relationship with this Sword Emperor."

"I have seen this Sword Emperor several times in Wanbaolou, which is why I think this move is just right to target Huangfu Yixiao."

"Now it seems that the so-called close relationship originated from this alliance under heaven."

"However, I have never heard of them from the head manager in all these years..."

"Master Jiang..."

After saying those three words, Chu Qing paused slightly before carefully speaking:
How much do you know about the origins of Wanbaolou?

This question did not stump Jiang Li. She thought for a moment and said:
"I know quite a bit about Wanbaolou, after all, I used to be the second manager of Wanbaolou in the Five Emperors City of Zhongzhou."

"The origin of Wanbaolou is a very, very ancient story."

"It is said that long, long ago, before the Great Qian Dynasty and so many previous dynasties existed in this world, Wanbaolou already existed."

"Alliance Leader Chu, do you know that passing on the legacy is an extremely difficult thing?"

"Not to mention an ordinary family or clan, even a powerful dynasty like the Great Qian Dynasty only ruled for a few hundred years."

"But Wanbaolou has been passed down for at least a thousand years."

"Its very existence is a legend."

Chu Qing understood what he meant.

The fact that Wanbaolou has been passed down for so long truly makes it a legend.

It's important to understand that all sorts of things happen over countless years. Simply developing in isolation won't guarantee continued progress; too many unexpected events can cause fluctuations in things.

If we are not careful, we may lose our connection.

No matter how large a development becomes, it may crumble in the face of overwhelming trends.

To remain invincible and grow ever stronger is not something that can be achieved simply by talking about it.

Seeing Chu Qing's expression, Jiang Li knew that her words hadn't been in vain, and then she continued:

"Wanbaolou has been able to survive for so many years, and it's not just because of its business."

"Many, many years ago, before Wanbaolou existed... or rather, before that immense power was known by the name Wanbaolou, it relied on extremely powerful martial arts."

"Wanbaolou has its own tradition... It's just a pity that I don't know much about it."

"My background is humble, and I don't even know how I was able to climb to this position."

"Therefore, I haven't received much of the inheritance. But even so, I can confidently say that I am a first-rate master in this martial arts world."

There are no ranks in the martial arts world; the so-called first-class is simply the top of the martial arts world.

But they weren't among the very best.

The most elite group included the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the leader of the Heavenly Evil Cult, and Chu Qing…

They can no longer be simply categorized as first-rate or top-tier experts.

Such a title is unworthy of them.

Chu Qing glanced at Jiang Li thoughtfully:
"How can something reach this level by inheriting only some minor details?"
"Is the legacy of Wanbaolou even greater than that of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors?"

"The reason why the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were able to pass down their lineage for three hundred years may well have been due in part to the help of Wanbaolou."

Jiang Li glanced sideways at Chu Qing:
"Therefore, even though Emperor Xuansong knew that the head manager was secretly stirring up trouble, he did not actually fight them."

"You should know that this move... will shake up the entire global order."

Through three hundred years of trials and tribulations, Wanbaolou has always been a constant presence.

Even the achievements of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors may have been inseparable from the support of Wanbaolou.

There are too many complex and intertwined factors involved... no wonder the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors dared not act rashly.

At least the Dao Emperor, the Fist King, and the Ancient Emperor wouldn't easily mess with Wanbaolou.

However, this time the situation is different. If the head manager is secretly supporting Jian Jiu to seize the position of Sword Emperor, it means that they have also crossed a red line that must never be crossed.

Xuan Song went to Wanbaolou with Chu Qing for this reason.

However, whether this is partly an attempt to make Chu Qing the scapegoat is a matter of opinion.

Chu Qing stroked his chin:
"So, the head manager has no one backing him anymore?"

"Nothing."

There was an indescribable sense of desolation in Jiang Li's expression.

She turned to look at the rolling sea of ​​clouds in the night sky and said softly:

"Actually, I've always felt that something's off about the head manager..."

"For many years, Wanbaolou has adhered to the principle of 'taking from the people and using for the people'."

"However, since I entered Wanbaolou, I have found that the situation seems to be a little different."

"I heard that Wanbaolou used to be different, but things have changed since the head manager took over."

She paused for a moment, then said hesitantly:

"Actually, I heard another secret, but it's hard to say whether it's true or not."

"It's just casual conversation. You can take it as idle chatter, Master Jiang."

Chu Qing smiled.

"Well... how should I put it? I once overheard an old man from Wanbaolou mention it."

"In the beginning, although Wanbaolou was still referred to as the head manager, it was not that simple in reality."

Behind Wanbaolou, there is a family that has been deeply involved in the martial arts world for countless years.

"Based on my understanding of Wanbaolou's origins, this family is the one with the long-standing tradition; they've just brought Wanbaolou to the forefront."

"But many years ago, Wanbaolou experienced a huge upheaval."

"That family seems to have suffered a severe blow; some say they were wiped out."

"The head manager was originally the second manager, but because the original head manager passed away, Wanbaolou could not be without a leader for a day, so he was put in charge..."

"This is also the first time in many years that a manager from a different family has been appointed as the head manager."

"Similarly, this is why I would say that the head manager no longer has anyone supporting him."

"Perhaps it existed before... but then it disappeared."

Upon hearing this, Chu Qing felt that the matter was far more complicated than she had imagined.

He asked instinctively:
"Could the downfall of that family be related to the current head manager?"

"I do not know."

Jiang Li said:

"Actually, this matter is like a taboo within Wanbaolou. I only heard about it occasionally, but I never had the opportunity to find out the whole story."

"What's worse, I don't even know what that family's real surname is."

Chu Qing glanced at her, then suddenly smiled:
"What if your surname is Jiang? Perhaps you are a descendant of the family behind Wanbaolou. That's why the head manager investigated this matter, found you, and entrusted you with this important task."

How did you know I often have dreams like this?

Jiang Li covered her mouth and laughed:
"It's a pity that I always feel lost for a long time after waking up from a dream."

Chu Qing smiled as well.

Wu Qianhuan and the others arrived together with Song Chengdao and Dongfang Jinghong.

Hearing their laughter, I was a little curious:

"What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing, just talking about some daydreams."

Jiang Li said with a smile:

"Is everything arranged?"

"Ah."

Song Chengdao nodded and looked at Chu Qing:

"Shall we do it the way we agreed?"

"it is good."

Chu Qing glanced at Wu Qianhuan:
"You stay here and travel with the people of the first path."

"You must be careful."

Wu Qianhuan spoke softly.

Wenrou and Mutong'er also looked at Chu Qing.

"Don't worry, it's just a mere Forgetful Manor... there's no need to be so alarmed."

Chu Qing glanced at Dongfang Jinghong again:
"Have you thought about it?"

Dongfang Jinghong nodded.

He has been struggling with this decision all along.

But as his eyes fell upon the details of the Eastern Region, he suddenly realized that sometimes, the so-called big picture didn't seem so important.

He was by nature a chivalrous and heroic figure. If it weren't for the repeated instructions from Yi Sheng and others, why would he have compromised for the sake of the so-called greater good?

This time, he intends to do it his own way.

Let's have a good, satisfying revenge!
Upon seeing this, Chu Qing's lips curled up slightly, and her gaze was finally no longer one of concern for mentally challenged children.

He turned his foot:
"Alright, I'll be going now. See you tomorrow."

With one step, the figure vanished in the blink of an eye.

His destination was clear: Forget Love Manor.

He planned to lie in wait within the Forget-Love Manor, and when the Underworld Assembly opened tomorrow, he would strike and crush the old man to death the moment Li Juechen appeared.

Assassins...

A sneak attack, a murder, a single, decisive strike, and a flight from afar.

There's nothing shameful about doing this.
