Eternal Sword

Chapter 189 Evil Emperor
The capital of Qian Kingdom.

Taiwei Mansion.

A middle-aged man sat on the Taiwei chair, dressed in gorgeous clothes and noble brocade. His face was well-defined, as if it was carved by a knife or an axe. His eyes were sinister, and he exuded an aura of oppression that could not be ignored.

In the center, there were many scattered body parts.

Some of them have been pieced together, and one can vaguely make out the appearance of Yuwen Dong, Sun Gu and others.

Some guards were kneeling below, with their heads lowered, not daring to look up. The hall was completely silent.

The fourth son of the Grand Marshal died tragically in Bingzhou. Those who survived by chance did not dare to return to the capital directly.

A few days later, he risked his life and came to the outside of the valley, collected the bodies of Yuwen Dong and others, and brought them back to the capital.

Yuwen Dong died tragically, and one can imagine how furious the Taiwei was.

Everyone recounted the entire process, having already been kneeling here for an hour.

Taiwei Yuwen Mao was sitting there, and after listening to what they said, he said nothing.

The air seemed to have solidified.

No one dared to breathe, they were already sweating profusely, for fear that the anger would be taken out on them.

"what happened?"

Just then, a voice came from outside the door.

Someone strode in.

Many guards breathed a sigh of relief.

The appearance of this person loosened the dead silence in the hall a little, and the pressure that had just shrouded their hearts was relieved a lot at this moment.

Someone took a quick look and recognized the man as Sun Tianlu, one of the thirty-six leaders of the Xuantian Sect!

This man never used any weapon. He conquered the world with just a pair of fists. He could even defeat any magical weapon in the world. He was known as the Xuantian Divine Fist.

Sun Tianlu was over sixty years old, with white hair and beard. When he walked into the hall, he saw the corpses lying on the ground at a glance. His eyes suddenly flashed with cold light and his face changed!
Taiwei Yuwen Mao said: "Tell us the whole story again."

The leading guard recounted in detail what happened after everyone arrived at Yanyu Village.

When Sun Tianlu heard about the purple-clothed woman's attack, his pupils shrank slightly and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

His eyes fell on the corpses, then he looked up at Yuwen Mao and asked in a deep voice, "Evil Emperor?"

"It should be."

Yuwen Mao nodded and said, "To be able to cultivate the Mysterious True Qi to this level, he has reached the state of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head, and has reached the state of perfection. There is no one else in the world except the Evil Emperor who can do this."

"The Evil Emperor should be around 80 or 90 years old now, right? From his description, how could he be so young?" Sun Tianlu was puzzled.

"I don't know."

Yuwen Mao shook his head.

Then his heart moved, as if he thought of something and was thinking about something.

"How did you get involved with her?"

Sun Tianlu frowned.

Yuwen Mao said: "According to their description, the sword technique used by Madam Lu should be the White Bone Sword Technique. She is most likely a disciple of the Evil Emperor."

"That person missed such important information. He tricked me!"

Sun Tianlu clenched his fists, and his joints made crackling sounds.

"He may not mean it."

Yuwen Mao pondered and said, "Something went wrong during this process. Not only was Qin Xi kidnapped, but Lu Qing also escaped. Moreover, he was able to cross two states and escape all the way to Wujiang Mountain. I'm afraid he could not have expected this."

Sun Tianlu came to the corpses, picked up the Taiwei Order on the ground with his toes, looked at the fingerprints on it, frowned and said: "This kind of finger power, I'm afraid it was the work of a master."

"Ah."

Yuwen Mao nodded.

Sun Tianlu asked: "The Grand Master of Qian Nation does not seem to be the old man they described. Could he be a remnant of the previous dynasty?"

Yuwen Mao said: "This person is extremely powerful. He used the art of disguise and did not reveal his moves. He must be afraid of exposing his identity. He may be from the Qian Kingdom."

"Who will it be?"

In Sun Tianlu's mind, he went over all the masters he knew, but had no clue.

"It's possible for anyone."

Yuwen Mao said lightly.

Sun Tianlu asked: "The Evil Emperor has been in seclusion for many years. I thought she was dead. How could she appear there?"

Yuwen Mao said: "That is Wujiang Mountain, where the former Emperor Wu died."

"so what?"

Sun Tianlu was puzzled.

Yuwen Mao said slowly: "Back then, Emperor Wu and Emperor Xie were a pair of immortal lovers, but later on, due to some strange circumstances, they separated and were unable to be together."

Others may not be aware of this matter, but Yuwen Mao had been with Emperor Wu for many years and had heard of it.

Emperor Wu did not initially participate in the struggle for world hegemony.

That was a fate that Emperor Wu had forged when he was young and wandering around the world.

Sun Tianlu was stunned.

He didn't expect that there was such a past between the Martial Emperor and the Evil Emperor of the previous dynasty.

Sun Tianlu frowned and said, "If this happened, why didn't the Evil Emperor appear when the previous dynasty was destroyed and Emperor Wu died?"

Yuwen Mao's eyes flashed with sarcasm, and he shook his head and said, "Emperor Wu fought for the throne and made another woman his empress. The evil emperor hated him so much, how could he help him?"

"Ah."

Sun Tianlu sneered, "Emperor Wu is really stupid. The Evil Emperor has such great means, why does he want to separate from her? Even if he has to flatter her, he should take her into the palace!"

Yuwen Mao glanced at Sun Tianlu indifferently, feeling contempt for him.

Is Emperor Wu that kind of person?
Moreover, Sun Tianlu also looked down on the Evil Emperor.

"The Evil Emperor became famous, and even achieved the status of Grandmaster of the Transformation Realm, but that was something that happened later."

Yuwen Mao said slowly: "When the two met, they were just young men who had just entered the martial arts world. Who knew what would happen in the future?"

"How did you get the reputation of being the Evil Emperor? It was after the two of them broke off their relationship that the Evil Emperor's temperament changed drastically. He became moody and killed countless people in the martial arts world!"

Sun Tianlu nodded secretly.

He had heard of the Evil Emperor's later reputation.

She is the only woman among the nine sects in the world. She acts as she pleases and it is hard to tell whether she is good or evil.

No matter whether they are from the righteous path or the evil path, people in the martial arts world or in the government, countless people have died at her hands!

Often in just a moment of thought, someone dies!
"Evil Emperor!"

Sun Tianlu looked gloomy and asked slowly: "General, how can we explain this matter? Can we..."

Yuwen Mao shook his head slightly and said, "We have to think about this matter carefully. The Evil Emperor is not easy to mess with. If we want to touch her, it is not enough for the Xuantian Sect Master to come forward personally. We have to unite with other masters."

"The Evil Emperor has no relatives or friends, and no one to worry about. If we fail and she escapes, none of us will be able to sleep or eat well."

"First, report the news about the Evil Emperor to Master Xuantian, and then we can discuss how to deal with it."

Sun Tianlu remained silent.

He also knew in his heart that even if the matter was reported, it was impossible for Sect Leader Xuantian to take the initiative to provoke a ruthless person like the Evil Emperor just for his son.

However, he only had this one son and he doted on him extremely.

This son is also talented. He has already mastered the art of opening meridians when he is in his thirties, and is expected to reach the second level of innateness before he is forty.

But now, she died in front of him!
How could he accept the fact that an old man has lost his loved one and that he has lost his son in old age?
The more Sun Tianlu thought about it, the angrier he became, and it was hard to contain himself!
"Who is the young man with Lu Qing?"

Sun Tianlu suddenly asked.

The root cause of Sun Gu's tragic death was that the young man and Lu Qing fled to the secluded valley beside the mountain, which led to the Evil Emperor's emergence.

Since he couldn't provoke the Evil Emperor for the time being, he had no choice but to capture the young man and use his blood and head to commemorate his child!

"It's not clear yet."

Yuwen Mao said: "From their description, this person should not have a background, he is just an ordinary person in the martial arts world."

"This boy should still be in the valley beside the mountain. When the time comes, send someone to investigate near Wujiang Mountain. If there is any news or trace of this boy, we can take action."

"it is good!"

...Xiping Temple.

While Chen Tang was sleeping, he seemed to hear Sanskrit sounds in his ears, which possessed a mysterious and inexplicable power.

Along with the chanting of Sanskrit, the coldness in the body gradually dissipated.

A heat suddenly rushed into the body and merged with the cold air, turning into a warm current.

Wandering in the internal organs and spreading throughout the limbs and bones.

Chen Tang felt so comfortable that he almost uttered a sound.

This feeling is like soaking in a hot spring in the previous life, and the whole body is warm.

He even had a strange feeling.

My muscles and bones, nourished by this warm current, felt itchy and tingling, as if they were slowly growing and becoming stronger!

Originally, he had already cultivated to the seventh level and mastered Yi Jin.

The tendons in the body are as hard as fine steel!
But under the nourishment of this warm current, his tendons gradually softened, became resilient, and his fascia became even tougher!

I don’t know how much time had passed before Chen Tang slowly woke up.

He turned over and stood up, and without much effort, he jumped a dozen feet high!

When he landed, he felt something strange in his muscles and bones and subconsciously stretched them.

Just like frying beans, a strange sound came from the body, like the vibration of a bowstring, crackling!
Chen Tang's eyes lit up.

The bow is like a thunderbolt!

This is the sign of reaching the seventh level of cultivation and the great perfection of Yi Jin!
Emperor Wu once said that the sign of reaching the ultimate state of the lower three grades is skin as white as ice and bones as smooth as strings.

Up to this moment, he has cultivated to this level.

Chen Tang observed himself and found that after completing Yi Jin, his height increased by half a head, and his whole body became stronger and more sturdy, almost the same as the people in Hanyu!
An ordinary seventh-grade martial artist can only have the strength to draw an eight-stone bow.

Chen Tang felt that he could even pull a bow of eleven stones now!

As you practice further, each increase in power becomes increasingly difficult.

Don’t underestimate the power of just over three stones.

Once they fight, the power of three more stones will be enough to crush warriors of the same level!
You know, even if you have achieved the sixth level, you can only open a ten-stone bow.

Chen Tang felt the situation inside his body and was secretly delighted.

Just over two months ago, he had just entered the seventh rank.

Now, he has already cultivated to the seventh level, the speed is astonishing!

If you practice in seclusion alone in the snowy mountains, you will never reach this level.

"Amitabha, donor, you are awake."

At this moment, a gentle voice sounded.

Chen Tang looked in the direction of the voice.

He saw an old monk with his back to him. He was so skinny that he could not even support the loose monk's robe on his body. He sat on a tattered cushion. His two white eyebrows were so long that they almost hung down to his shoulders.

"My name is Chen Tang, senior, are you Master Lekong?"

Chen Tang asked quickly.

"Exactly."

The old monk with white eyebrows replied without turning around.

"Thank you for saving my life, Master."

Chen Tang quickly bowed and expressed his gratitude respectfully.

Although he was in a coma, he knew that if it weren't for Master Liaokong, he would have been frozen to death by the cold air.

Liao Kong said: "It can't be called a favor, it's just fate, don't be polite."

"Master, what's the matter with the coldness in my body?"

Chen Tang asked, "Was it the purple-dressed woman at the foot of the mountain who did it?"

It would be fine if the woman in purple had no intention.

If she did it on purpose, we can't just let it go like this!

He risked his life to escort Lu Qing all the way to this place.

Although I don't ask for anything in return and I just do it for the right thing to do, I cannot tolerate the fact that you harm me without asking any questions.

Lekong turned around, looked at Chen Tang, and gently tapped the wooden fish in his hand.

Boom!
A soft sound.

Somehow, the sound seemed to hit Chen Tang's heart.

The resentment that had just arisen had dissipated a lot.

Liaokong smiled slightly and said, "Donor Chen is obsessed with appearances. Whether it was intentional or unintentional, it ultimately brought about the donor's opportunity. The donor has turned a disaster into a blessing, so why should he continue to harbor resentment?"

Chen Tang was shaken by the sound of the wooden fish, and he heard Master Kong's words in his ears. He was unable to say anything for a while.

It was a blessing in disguise for me, and it seemed there was really no need to pursue the matter.

Chen Tang shook his head.

This monk is so powerful.

Why does everything he says make sense to me?

"alright."

Chen Tang didn't plan to dwell on this matter for the time being. He came to the opposite side of Master Kong and imitated the Master, sitting cross-legged and asking, "Master, who is that purple-dressed woman? She's so powerful."

Master Liaokong saw that Chen Tang was not polite and spoke casually, so he didn't take it seriously. He just smiled and said, "The female donor's surname is Lu. She used to be famous in the martial arts world."

"what?"

Chen Tang asked.

"Evil Emperor."

Master Liaokong opened his mouth and said two words.

Chen Tang was so startled that he almost jumped up from the ground.

The Evil Emperor is a woman?
He actually met the legendary Evil Emperor, one of the nine sects in the world?
It seemed like he was thinking about settling the score with someone just now?
It's like lighting a lamp in a toilet.

Chen Tang took a few deep breaths and tried his best to calm his mind.

No wonder.

When Mrs. Lu first saw them, she had murderous intentions.

This is understandable.

After all, the Lu family has a sensitive identity as they are descendants of Emperor Wu of the previous dynasty.

And Mrs. Lu didn't take any action in the end.

This evil emperor's actions were even more evil and almost cost him his life!

This master and disciple pair really are of the same lineage.

Chen Tang muttered to himself.

Fortunately, Lu Qing has not been with the Evil Emperor since childhood.

If she had been raised by the Evil Emperor when she was a child, the consequences would have been disastrous.

Chen Tang was a little curious and asked, "The Evil Emperor was from the previous dynasty, so she should be quite old now. Why does she still look like a woman in her thirties?"

"Because she once received a beauty pill."

Master Liaokong looked at Chen Tang with a deep look in his eyes and said, "This anti-aging pill was given to her by donor Qin."

Donor Qin?
Chen Tang's heart moved.

Emperor Wu's son was named Qin Xi.

Logically speaking, Emperor Wu should also have the surname Qin.

Is the donor Qin mentioned by the mage referring to Emperor Wu?

Before he could figure it out, Master Kong smiled and suddenly asked, "Is Donor Qin okay?"

Seeing Master Kong's eyes, Chen Tang instantly understood that the person he was talking about was the Martial Emperor!
