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

Chapter 585 Immortal Breeze and Flowing Clouds!

In the Hundred Rivers Valley of the Eastern Region, there is a dangerous place called the Killer Forest.

Local legend has it that this forest is haunted by vengeful ghosts and vengeful spirits. Once ordinary people step into it, they will be filled with evil thoughts and desires.

It makes people do all sorts of incomprehensible things.

Therefore, it was considered a forbidden place by the locals and should not be entered.

Therefore, no one has set foot in this area for over a hundred years, making it extremely quiet and secluded.

But today, in this man-killing forest where only the occasional chirping of insects and birds could be heard, a loud bang suddenly rang out.

Several figures burst from the ground, scattering mud and sand everywhere, leaving the surrounding trees riddled with holes and the ground littered with ruins.

Once the figures landed, it became clear that there were five people in a group.

One man and four women.

It was Chu Qing and his group.

After leaving the small town and courtyard, the group of five proceeded according to their original plan.

Following the map, we arrived at this murder forest.

After asking around among the locals, they quickly learned about the murderous forest. Stepping inside, they indeed felt as if something was stirring up their innermost thoughts.

Thoughts suppressed deep within always seem to want to flow out unintentionally.

Fortunately, none of them were ordinary people. Chu Qing goes without saying, and Wu Qianhuan and Jiang Li were both highly skilled in internal energy cultivation.

Gentle and indifferent to emotions, she has improved somewhat now that she has the [Unchanging Heavenly Book] in her hands. This thing that stirs her heart works on her, but it does not harm her; on the contrary, it is an aid.

Only the shepherd girl sometimes wanted to have a child with Chu Qing, and other times she cried loudly, saying that she would steal her mother's treasured wine to give to Chu Qing.

Chu Qing didn't know why she burst into tears when this matter was brought up.

However, the poor girl's greatest evil thought was to steal her mother's treasured wine... I don't know what to say about her.

After Chu Qing used the Heaven-Shattering Earth-Shattering Technique to help her suppress it slightly, she began to unleash her full power.

After employing various techniques such as dragon vein searching, gold divination, and burial site location, the key was quickly found.

Chu Qing didn't waste any time and directly used violent means to forcefully blast open the ground.

They ventured deeper into the cave, deciphered the mechanisms, dismantled the traps, and finally found the Nine Treasures of Heaven and Earth.

This thing is now in Chu Qing's hands. Chu Qing picked it up to examine it, and after a while gently shook his head:
"Who would have thought that the forest of murderers wasn't inhabited by vengeful ghosts or vengeful spirits, but rather by a lamp?"

The lamp in his hand is very strange.

The overall shape resembles an eight-treasure pagoda, but it's not that tall, only about three inches long.

It's unclear what the specific material is, but it gleams brilliantly from within.

Through the gap, a faint flame could be seen, as if it would be extinguished by a gust of wind... But when Chu Qing tried to extinguish the flame with his palm, the flame swayed in the wind and remained completely unharmed.

The lid on top is like the roof of a pagoda, the difference being that each of the eaves has a face embedded in it.

Some were crying, some were laughing, some were angry, some were sad... There were eight emotions in total. If you looked at them for a long time, you would feel as if you were infected by the emotions on their faces.

If you constantly see anger, you will feel anger in your heart.

Seeing laughter often brings joy to the heart.

All sorts of emotions can affect people's hearts, which is extremely strange.

A black chain pulls the entire lamp body, connecting it to a horizontal bar.

The crossbar is also entirely black, with some wear on the grip area, revealing a faint white interior.

This makes one wonder if this thing might be the bone of some kind of creature?
This object is extremely hard. Although it looks like a lamp when you lift it up, it can be used as a sword or a meteor hammer when fighting. In addition, the light from the wick can stir up emotions deep in people's hearts... If used in actual combat, it should have miraculous effects.

The shepherd boy curled his lip:
"If I remember correctly, this thing should be called a 'heart lamp'."

"However, there isn't much information about this item in the [Record of Rare Treasures]... I reckon it must be quite dangerous. You'd better be careful, lest you go from being a respected martial arts leader to a universally hated, infamous demon and lecher!"

Chu Qing squinted at the shepherd girl. When she first arrived, the girl had made quite a few fools of herself.

I suspect there is some genuine apprehension about this lamp of the heart.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Qing glanced at Wenrou:
"Come and take it."

After thinking for a moment, Wenrou understood what Chu Qing meant and reached out to take the Heart Lamp.

The next moment, a strange feeling spread from the lamp wick. The shepherd girl's originally clear eyes were instantly filled with desire. She subconsciously came to Chu Qing's side and was about to make a move when Chu Qing touched her brow with a finger.

Chu Qing whispered to Wenrou:
"Try circulating the [Unchanging Heavenly Book] and connecting it with this lamp using your internal energy to see if you can harness it for your own use."

Chu Qing had previously attempted to control the lamp using the [Heavenly Ultimate Formless Divine Power]. Under Chu Qing's inner energy, the lamp offered no resistance and was easily taken into his grasp.

Gentle and lawful, the lights flickered, seemingly unwilling to surrender.

But the flames quickly stabilized.

That strange feeling dissipated, and the shepherd boy's eyes regained their clarity. For a moment, he gritted his teeth and glared at Chu Qing:
"Why are you blocking it?"

Chu Qing was speechless. Instead of blaming Xin Deng for making you look bad, you blame me for stopping you from attacking me?
There's never much reasoning with women, and Chu Qing had no intention of trying to reason with her.

Judging from her gentle demeanor holding the heart-shaped lamp, she seems to be in pretty good spirits.

He then took her hand and examined it, only to find that she almost bit herself on the rice cereal.

This little hamster-like creature, seemingly also affected by the Heart Lamp, fiercely displayed its two rather conspicuous front teeth, baring its teeth and claws to tell everyone that it was no coward.

As expected, everyone looked at him with new respect, daring to bite Chu Qing, the number one in the world.

It is certainly not a coward.

With a gentle thought, she reduced the power of the Heart Lamp, and the rice paste finally returned to normal.

Then, with a whoosh, it slipped into Wenrou's sleeve, probably remembering what it had just done, and was now trembling.

"The little thing's courage comes quickly, but it also goes quickly."

Chu Qing chuckled softly, placed her hand on Wenrou's wrist, examined it for a moment, and then nodded:

"Okay, it's not a big problem. I'll check you out every seven days from now on."

"This thing has the power to bewitch the mind; it sneaks in with the wind at night, silently nourishing all things, so one must be careful."

"But nowadays, it's only good for you."

"If one day I find that it poses a threat to you, then you can give it back to me."

Nod gently:

"it is good."

The nine treasures of heaven and earth are all extraordinary, and Chu Qing was able to understand the concerns of the person who hid the Heart Lamp back then.

This thing is fine in the hands of a master; they can suppress it.

If it were an ordinary person, they would only become a slave to the lamp.

Once the dark side of their hearts is awakened and their desires are completely unleashed, tragedy and slaughter become inevitable.

So the person who went to great lengths to hide this item back then can be considered to have done a great deed.

So far, he has probably seen, acquired, or heard of eight of the Nine Treasures of Heaven and Earth.

The sacred parasol tree, the Heavenly Demon Robe, the Weeping God Iron, the Heaven and Earth Four Directions Vessel, the Town Primordial Stone, the Sound Transmission Bell, the Earth Soul Armor, and this Heart Lamp. Legend has it that there are nine of the Nine Treasures of Heaven and Earth, but what is the ninth one called, and who possesses it?

Moreover, the Heavenly Demon Robe was taken away by You Zong at the time, and the Weeping God Iron was temporarily stored in Wanbaolou. It's hard to say whether it ended up in the hands of the head manager.

The Zhenyuan Stone is still in the Ten Deadly Caves, hidden in the tomb of the First Emperor Wu.

The remaining items—the Heaven and Earth Four Directions Wine Cup, the Sound Transmission Bell, the Earth Soul Armor, and the Heart Lamp—were all in Chu Qing's hands.

Of the nine treasures of heaven and earth that Chu Qing knows of, the only one whose whereabouts are unknown is the Wutong Divine Tree.

This is a legendary divine object.

Many people are debating whether it really exists.

Chu Qing shook her head, deciding not to think about it anymore:
"Now that this matter is settled, let's go."

"it is good."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Qing flicked his sleeves, and five figures shot straight into the sky, covering ten miles in a single step.

This technique of soaring to the heavens and shrinking the earth to an inch was a method that Chu Qing developed after obtaining the "Unfettered Ascension to Immortality Step".

He combined all his lightness skills, taking the best of each and making up for the worst, to create this style called "Immortal Wind and Flowing Clouds".

Taking advantage of the wind and employing ingenious methods, one can ride the wind and shrink the distance to an inch, traveling thousands of miles in no time.

If ordinary people saw this, they would probably kneel down and worship, thinking they had met a living god...

……

……

October is already halfway over.

The past two weeks have been quite eventful for the Eastern Region.

First, there was the battle at Wangqing Manor, where Chu Qing, the leader of the Southwest Two Regions Alliance, along with Song Chengdao, the number one Daoist Master of Zhongzhou, fought against the master of the Niejing Platform.

The Fist King Luo Kongming died tragically in this battle, and the Martial Emperor Li Juechen was killed on the spot by Chu Qing's single move, Jingzhe.

The head manager of Wanbaolou joins forces with the leader of the Tianxie Cult to deal with Chu Qing.

As a result, they suffered a crushing defeat and fled.

"Speaking of the Heavenly Evil Cult Leader, before the rise of Alliance Leader Chu, he was extremely formidable."

"Even if the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors joined forces, they would still find it difficult to gain any advantage from him... On the contrary, they suffered repeated defeats!"

"Unexpectedly, the leader of the Chu Alliance rose to prominence out of nowhere. In the battle at Yue Song Mountain in the Western Regions, he defeated the leader of the Heavenly Evil Cult, who fled naked. In the battle at Wangqing Manor in Zhaixia Mountain, he was forced to run away with his tail between his legs."

"This is truly gratifying!!"

Beside the official road, inside a teahouse, a group of merchants were resting and chatting.

"Speaking of this Alliance Leader Chu, he can truly be called a living bodhisattva."

"If it weren't for him traveling all over the Eastern Region for the past half month, killing the evil cultists, restoring order, and deterring the villains, how would we dare to leave our homes to do business?"

"We haven't even encountered many bandits along the way, all thanks to Alliance Leader Chu!"

"That's right. In my opinion, Alliance Leader Chu's martial arts skills are far beyond what the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors could ever achieve."

"I'm just waiting for the day when he kills the evil cult leader and subdues the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors... If only I could have him unify the world..."

"Isn't this a blessing for us?"

"I wouldn't dare say such things carelessly, lest I create enemies for Alliance Leader Chu."

"Sigh, I wonder what Alliance Leader Chu is thinking. These martial arts masters are all so powerful and imposing."

"But the only person I truly admire is this Alliance Leader Chu."

"Alliance Leader Chu is indeed a master of martial arts, but I wonder how he compares to that Ghostly Demon God?"

"What is this Ghostly Fiend? How dare it compare itself to Alliance Leader Chu?"

"This is something you don't know... This Ghostly Demon God has only risen to prominence in the martial world in the last ten days or so."

"This person is very mysterious and his methods are extremely terrifying. He seems to enjoy eating human flesh and drinking human blood. Moreover, his whereabouts are unpredictable. Wherever he goes, he stirs up a bloody storm. He is not someone to be trifled with."

"Hmph, chaotic times breed monsters. In this world, all sorts of demons and monsters have emerged. However, I believe that if Alliance Leader Chu knew about this, he would definitely seek revenge on that evil spirit!"
"Slay demons and monsters, and restore a bright and clear world to this land!"

The merchants chatted casually, some filled with righteous indignation, others with hopeful expressions.

Little did they know that in a corner of the teahouse, a man and four women were quietly drinking tea.

However, when he heard the words "ghostly demon god," the man's expression changed slightly, and he turned around to ask a couple of questions.

Others simply assumed he was just a casual visitor and didn't try to hide it.

After explaining what he knew, the man thanked them, left money for the tea, and then set off with the four women.

Needless to say, this group was none other than Chu Qing's.

After walking some distance, Wu Qianhuan finally spoke:
"We've heard about these ghosts and demons several times along the way."

"It doesn't seem fake..."

"That person just said that the place where the Ghostly Demon God recently appeared is in the Great Rainbow City to the north."

"Should we go over and take a look?"

The shepherd boy made the suggestion.

Chu Qing nodded:

"Over the past two weeks, we have been fighting in various parts of the Eastern Region and have almost wiped out the people of the Heavenly Evil Cult."

"Although we still haven't found the Seven Killers, he should have taken the rest of the people to the Northern Region to meet up with the rest of the Heavenly Evil Sect."

"Dahong City is a necessary stop on our route, a gateway between the Northern and Eastern Regions. Let's go see if we can find any clues about this so-called Ghostly Fiend."

Hearing him say that, no one had any objections.

The group immediately headed north, and with Chu Qing's [Immortal Wind and Flowing Clouds], their travel speed was far beyond what was usually possible.

We set off in the evening and arrived at Dahongcheng by nightfall.

Under the cover of night, the group entered the city. Just as Chu Qing and his group landed, Wenrou suddenly sniffed the air:
"Third Brother... there's a bloody smell, it's someone we know."

"Who?"

"Eastern Amazing Beauty".

Upon hearing these four words, Chu Qing was immediately taken aback, and then said:
"lead the way."

Without saying much, Wenrou carried a heart lamp in her hand and led the way, quickly arriving at a narrow alley after many twists and turns.

The place was filthy, foul-smelling, and muddy.

Chu Qing frowned slightly. When she looked up, she saw a person lying in the mud not far away, with blood flowing from all over his body.

When you get close, turn it over.

Under the cover of night, it was indeed that stunning beauty from the East!
Chu Qing reached out and pressed down on his wrist, her expression changing slightly:
“Such a serious injury!”
