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

Chapter 586 The Creation Scripture

Inside the guest rooms on the second floor of Qingfeng Inn.

Dongfang Jinghong's injuries have been mostly treated, and she is lying on the bed with her eyes closed.

Chu Qing channeled some internal energy into him to keep his heart meridian from dying.

With the addition of his own internal energy, the combination of internal and external strength stabilized his condition.

With a creak, the door was pushed open, and Wu Qianhuan and the other three poured in. Jiang Li, carrying a bowl of medicinal soup, came to the door.

"It's ready."

Chu Qing got up and helped Dongfang Jinghong up. With a breath, she blew on the scalding hot medicine, making it palatable.

He pried open Dongfang Jinghong's mouth and poured the medicine into her mouth.

With the other hand, bring the index and middle fingers together to guide the medicine down the throat, preventing it from spilling.

A moment later, the bowl of medicine was completely emptied, not a drop was spilled.

Chu Qing then returned the bowl to Jiang Li and put Dongfang Jinghong down.

"After drinking this bowl of medicine, you should wake up soon."

"He is the mighty Sword Emperor, who in the world could have injured him so badly? Could it be that after leaving Forgetful Manor that day, he encountered the fleeing Heavenly Evil Cult Leader and the Head Manager?"

Wu Qianhuan had some doubts.

Chu Qing shook his head:
"If he had actually encountered it, he would have died long ago, and he wouldn't have persisted until now."

"His injuries should have healed within the next few days..."

"The remaining internal energy in the body was not created by the Heavenly Evil Cult Leader or the Head Manager."

"Who could that be?"

The shepherd boy, having reached this point, suddenly had a unique idea:

"Could it be that demonic spirit?!"

Chu Qing thought for a moment, then shook her head:

"It's probably not very likely... This demon god eats people and drinks blood, so it must practice some kind of evil martial arts."

"Although his injuries are severe, it is clear that the person who attacked him must be a practitioner of the orthodox Xuanmen sect."

"The true lineage of the Xuanmen..."

As the group muttered those four words, some guesses began to form in their minds.

Chu Qing waved his hand:
"No need to think about it, he'll know when he wakes up."

As they were talking, Dongfang Jinghong twitched his fingers slightly and opened his eyes in a daze.

Immediately following, he frowned deeply. Chu Qing initially thought he was in pain, but instead, she heard him say with a furrowed brow:

"What's this strange taste in my mouth? Who...who gave me this medicine?"
"It's sour, astringent, and bitter—it's unbearable! I, the Emperor, want to drink!"

Chu Qing rolled her eyes:
"You're already lucky to have survived, and you still want to drink? I advise you not to have such a delusion."

"...Alliance Leader Chu?"

Hearing Chu Qing's words, Dongfang Jinghong finally let out a somewhat dazed breath:

"It really is you... I thought I would never see you again in this lifetime."

Chu Qing waved his hands repeatedly:

"That doesn't sound right. Men shouldn't be so pretentious."

"Tell me, what are these injuries on you... were they inflicted by Xuan Song?"

A true member of the Xuanmen sect, capable of injuring Dongfang Jinghong, Chu Qing couldn't think of anyone else besides Dao Emperor Xuan Song and Ancient Emperor Yi Sheng.

Dongfang Jinghong was slightly taken aback, then sighed:
"How did you find me?"

"by chance."

Chu Qing said:

"We were just about to come to Dahongcheng to take care of some business, but as soon as we arrived, we found you lying in a pile of rubble, barely alive..."

That's why I brought you to the inn.

"To be honest, the waiter didn't even want to open the door for us when he saw you like this, for fear that you would die in the inn and bring bad luck."

"..."

Dongfang Jinghong looked a little embarrassed:
"That's only human nature..."

"So, is that so?"

Chu Qing had no intention of going along with his wishes and letting the topic be changed.

Dongfang Jinghong was silent for a moment, then finally nodded:
"Xuansong and Yisheng acted together..."

"reason."

Chu Qing remained calm, his eyes showing no anger or killing intent.

Dongfang Jinghong lay down, feeling somewhat weak.
"There's no particular reason. I just overheard them trying to secretly offer up the Northern Region and the Five Emperor Cities of Central State to the Heavenly Evil Cult Leader."

"I showed up and reprimanded them in a fit of anger, and the two of them tried to kill me to silence me."

It's not as simple as Dongfang Jinghong described.

After the battle at Wangqing Manor on Zhaixia Mountain, Dongfang Jinghong returned to Wudi City with Luo Kongming's body.

Xuan Song and Yi Sheng were also filled with grief and indignation when they saw Luo Kongming's corpse.

After listening to Dongfang Jinghong's account, the two men's attitudes changed somewhat.

On one hand, he angrily scolded Chu Qing for lacking a sense of the big picture and actually killing Li Juechen; on the other hand, he was also worried... Although he didn't say it outright, he was obviously worried about something.

Dongfang Jinghong was naturally open-minded and simple-minded, and never noticed anything wrong with these two people.

After finishing explaining, you should go about your business.

For the next two days, every time I saw Xuan Song, I noticed that he looked nervous.

Even if Dongfang Jinghong were an idiot, he could tell that something was wrong with Xuansong.

That's when he secretly took note.

A few days ago, he noticed that Xuan Song was acting suspiciously again, so he secretly followed him.

As a result, we saw him having a secret meeting with Yi Sheng, wanting to give the Five Emperors City as a gift to the Heavenly Evil Cult Leader in exchange for a high position in the Heavenly Evil Cult.

It's hard to describe Dongfang Jinghong's feelings at that moment.

His entire worldview crumbled. He never dreamed that the dignified Dao Emperor Xuan Song and the Ancient Emperor Yi Sheng would not stand up to protect the world at this critical moment, but instead consider surrendering to the enemy for personal gain.

In his anger, he disregarded everything and impulsively rushed out.

By the time he realized he couldn't handle those two by himself, he was already being beaten to a pulp...

Having finally managed to escape through a mishap, they headed eastward.

He knew that Chu Qing was still in the Eastern Region, and as long as he came to the Eastern Region and found Chu Qing, he would be safe.

But it wasn't until he reached Da Hong City that he remembered something...

He didn't know where Chu Qing was in the Eastern Region.

In such a large place, how could he possibly find Chu Qing on his own?

Despair, coupled with his injuries, finally made it impossible for him to hold on any longer, and he fainted.

Who would have thought that after waking up, I would see Chu Qing?

His understated manner wasn't because he wanted to hide anything... it was mainly because he wasn't very good at telling stories.

So I simply condensed it into one sentence.

However, the problems brought about by these words cannot be ignored.

"It seems that, just as Young Master Chu predicted, the Ancient Emperor and the Dao Emperor are indeed unreliable."

Jiang Li frowned slightly:

"I just don't understand why they would rather choose the Heavenly Evil Cult Leader than Young Master Chu?"

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jinghong looked at Chu Qing with a puzzled expression:
“When did you say those two were unreliable… If you had said so earlier, I wouldn’t have gone back to Five Emperors City. I got so angry for no reason that I was in serious trouble and even got beaten up.”

"If you hadn't gotten this beating, would they have listened to me?"

Chu Qing sneered:
"As for why they didn't choose me..."

There are many reasons for this.

"It's possible that they don't have high hopes for me, or perhaps they overestimate themselves."

"Furthermore, unlike the leader of the Heavenly Evil Cult, I don't wear my ambition on my sleeve. I may not give them what they want."

"What do you mean?"

Dongfang Jinghong asked with a frown, not only because she didn't understand, but also because of the pain.

Chu Qing had no choice but to explain it to him:
"In the battle of Yue Song Mountain, I defeated the Heavenly Evil Cult Leader. "In the battle of Wangqing Manor, the head manager and the Heavenly Evil Cult Leader joined forces, and they were still the ones who retreated."

"But neither of those battles was actually that easy... There are many things that could turn the tide of the battle."

"For example, the ancient emperor and the Dao Emperor."

"The two of them thought that I could defeat the head manager and the Heavenly Evil Cult Master together, but I might not be able to defeat the head manager, the Heavenly Evil Cult Master, and the four of them, the Emperor and the Sovereign, together."

"Moreover, there are still no members of the Heavenly Evil Cult who have shown up to this day."

"For example, those few holy maidens... Also, I remember when Prince Mei mentioned the internal divisions of the Heavenly Evil Sect, he mentioned the 'Sword-wielding' and 'Rusty Pen' halls."

"I now suspect that 'Rusty Brush' Hall may have some connection with Wenxin Pavilion."

"Because when Prince Mei talked about Xiubi Hall, some of the things he mentioned were consistent with Wenxin Pavilion."

"But the 'Sword Hall' has not made a move so far."

"Prince Mei once said that the Sword-Holding Hall is the leader's personal guard... If we were to translate that into the Great Qian Dynasty, it would be considered the Imperial Guard, or a top-tier group of imperial guards..."

"With all these advantages combined, plus that emperor and the king, they naturally didn't think I had any way to contend with them."

"But what kind of people are the Heavenly Evil Sect?"

Dongfang Jinghong, unable to contain her anger, struggled to her feet:

"Insidious and ruthless, they commit all kinds of evil deeds. They know all this, yet they still want to help the wicked."

"They are utterly unworthy of being called the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors!!"

Jiang Li raised his eyes and glanced at Dongfang Jinghong:
"To say something you might not like to hear, Senior Dongfang, in the current state of the world, the so-called Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors are already ancient history."

Dongfang Jinghong froze, then suddenly looked dejected and slumped heavily onto the pillow.

He almost cracked the porcelain pillow.

He cried out in pain, clutching his head, and said:

"Old almanac is old almanac, but we can't be so blind to right and wrong."

"Those two old bastards deserve to die! They're clearly just doing it for their own selfish reasons, always using the greater good to deceive me... You have no idea what kind of life I've been living all these years..."

"Well, not just in recent years."

"I've been doing quite well these past few years, mainly because I've been kept in the dark, haven't I?"

"If I had known there were so many messy things going on here, I would have killed someone with a knife long ago!"

"Alright, you should be quiet too."

Chu Qing gently patted Dongfang Jinghong's shoulder:

"Now that you're awake, these injuries shouldn't be a problem for you. Focus on healing, and make sure you can keep up before leaving this Great Rainbow City."

"Ah."

Dongfang Jinghong nodded, not giving it much thought.

Wu Qianhuan, however, understood the implied meaning:
"what are you up to?"

"Of course, we must go to the Five Emperors City."

Chu Qing smiled:
"They all planned to sell the Five Emperors City, handing over the Central Plains and the Northern Regions to others."

"Giving it to the Heavenly Evil Cult Leader and the Head Manager is giving, so why can't they give it to me?"

"Can you convince them?"

Dongfang Jinghong looked on in astonishment.

Chu Qing smiled and raised his fist:

"Yes, everything in this world is governed by reason."

"Even the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors had to reason... My reasoning is more profound, and I'm sure I can convince people with reason."

Wu Qianhuan was speechless for a moment; it seemed they were planning to confront them.

In the past, she would definitely have advised Chu Qing to stop making trouble.

To storm the Five Emperors City and seize the Central Plains... this is simply absurd.

But now, it seems there's no need for that anymore.

Chu Qing himself said that he was already invincible.

He would never speak carelessly; he must have been absolutely certain.

Then let's go with him to the Five Emperors City and see how he persuades people with reason.

Thinking about it carefully, capturing the Five Emperors City is actually quite exciting...

Dongfang Jinghong wasn't stupid, just straightforward. Seeing Chu Qing's gleaming fist, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Then wait for me. I have a good reason to help you."

"Then it's a deal."

Chu Qing nodded.

Suddenly, I heard her say gently:

"Tell me, where did the Heavenly Evil Cult Leader and the Head Manager go after their defeat?"

No one can answer this question.

Chu Qing simply chuckled:
"No matter where they go, they will always show up."

……

Click, click, click!

A huge stone door was opened, revealing a new secret chamber.

The leader of the Heavenly Evil Cult followed the head shopkeeper inside with some anticipation. Inside the secret room, there were stone carvings on all four walls.

The contents on the left and right sides are a bit strange; they are traces.

And right in the middle was a manual of internal martial arts techniques.

The head manager suddenly rushed over, stared intently at the object, and after a moment, sighed with some disappointment:

"No."

"Not yet?"

The Heavenly Evil Cult Leader's face darkened.

The two of them have been in the Jiang clan's territory for almost ten days.

They searched through various underground chambers and indeed found some good things, which healed the head steward's injuries in a short period of time.

However, they never saw anything that could allow the Heavenly Evil Cult Leader to advance further.

After arriving here, the head manager no longer concealed anything.

Tell the leader of the Heavenly Evil Cult that what will allow him to advance further is the internal energy cultivation method passed down through the Jiang family.

This merit is called the "Scripture of Creation," and as its name suggests, it possesses the power to create and transform the world.

The leader of the Heavenly Evil Cult was wary of Chu Qing's Maha Boundless Power and also had many grievances about his own [Supreme Emperor's World-Shaking Treasure Record]. If he could obtain the [Creation Scripture] mentioned by the head shopkeeper, he might have a chance to break through the barriers and achieve unparalleled supernatural powers.

As long as he could break through the Great Immeasurable, Chu Qing was not taken seriously by the Heavenly Evil Cult Leader at all.

Despite searching extensively and turning the Jiang clan's territory upside down with their combined abilities, they still couldn't find the key.

"That should be in the innermost secret room."

The leader of the Heavenly Evil Cult turned and left.

The head manager, however, did not move:
"It's no use... that secret room can't be opened."

"Why?"

"That requires the Jiang family to come and open it in person."

"That's utter nonsense..."

The Heavenly Evil Cult Leader sneered:
"Don't think I don't understand mechanical arts; it's nothing more than some strange and ingenious tricks."

"How can you identify people from a pile of inanimate objects?"

"That's because you don't understand the Jiang family..."

The head manager's gaze fell upon the carvings on the walls on both sides:
Don't judge their horror by your own limited perspective!
