Borrowing a sword

Chapter 315 I Want to Kill Him

Outside the Imperial Pool, Jiang Zhi, who was wielding his sword, stopped his movements only after watching Chu Huaixu emerge unharmed.

The Moon Kingdom cultivators responsible for guarding the Imperial Pool were already lying in a pile.

However, it's clear that this unparalleled killer from the Taoist sect still held back and didn't kill these people.

As for the external array restrictions, they have been almost completely destroyed by his sword energy, with only the broken array cores still struggling to hold on.

"Are you alright?" Jiang Zhi asked.

Chu Huaixu did not hide anything: "Grandmaster, the Emperor's divine will intends to seize my body."

A single, brief sentence stunned the other party, whose face instantly hardened with murderous intent and frost.

He immediately used his divine sense to investigate Chu Huaixu's current situation.

After making sure he was unharmed, he asked, "Did you fail?"

"Yes, I used some methods." He didn't elaborate.

Jiang Zhi had always known that Chu Huaixu harbored many secrets.

But in this respect, he is not the type to pry into things.

Spiritual practitioners all have secrets they don't want others to know, which is the foundation of many people's livelihood.

Even he couldn't have imagined that Chu Huaixu, with his mere third-realm cultivation, would be able to escape a calamity in the sacred land of the Moon Kingdom.
"Let's go, let's get out of here first," Jiang Zhi said, glancing up at the sky.

"it is good."

The two flew towards the monastery.

During the flight, Chu Huaixu did not forget to tell him that Niu Yuanshan had died.

Jiang Zhi lowered her eyelids slightly and gently twitched the index and middle fingers of her right hand.

He had assumed that his grandmaster would ask a few more questions.

But to his surprise, Jiang Zhi only said two sentences.

"Let's meet up with Nangong Yue and Chu Yinyin first."

"Then you just need to tell me what you want to do."

Monastery, VIP room.

Nangong Yue and Chu Yinyin were no longer at the training ground.

Their trip was essentially like attending an opening ceremony.

The preliminary rounds weren't particularly interesting, and there was no need to stay there.

What's more, this major event happened right before the East-West Continents Grand Competition officially began!

From the perspective of these two Taoist elders, everything that happened seemed too abrupt and too childish.

Nangong Yue believed there was more to the story.

But with only this fragmented information, she didn't know why.

But no matter what, even if Niu Yuanshan really was a spy, he shouldn't have died on the spot!
The subsequent handling of this matter will be discussed jointly by the Kingdom and the Daoist sect.

Moreover, judging from Qin Xuanxiao's words, it was as if he was saying in front of ten thousand people that Chu Huaixu, this true disciple, was also a spy.

These two events combined, along with the Moon Kingdom royal family's final handling of the situation and the powerful intervention of the guardians above the Nine Heavens, are all tantamount to slapping the Daoist sect in the face!

The older woman was furious.

"It's unbearable!"

She started cursing again: "Where is Junior Uncle?!"

"My master was absolutely right, Jiang Zhi, Jiang Zhi, will always be coming soon!"

Nangong Yue immediately raised her hand and said, "Hey! Junior Sister, watch your words. Now is the time to unite against external enemies, why is the first thing you do to look for problems among your own people?"

"Junior Uncle is completely unaware of the situation here; it must be that the Moon Kingdom has used some means."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yinyin felt that it made sense.

The other party acted with intent towards their unintended needs, putting them in a very passive position.

After exchanging a few more words, Jiang Zhi returned with Chu Huaixu.

After everyone shared what had happened on their side, Nangong Yue and Chu Yinyin never imagined that everything was just for the purpose of possession!

The Emperor's divine sense was actually conscious! It wasn't just simple divine soul power!

Moreover, they actually wanted to use Chu Huaixu's death to bring him back to life!
This is a really big deal.

It was so big that they found it difficult to digest at first.

"Damn it! All the people of Yue Kingdom deserve to die!" Chu Yinyin immediately started jumping up and down.

"That's just how royalty has always been!"

"Greed, selfishness, ego, arrogance," she began to string together the words.

It is worth mentioning, however, that none of the three high-ranking members of the Daoist sect present asked Chu Huaixu why the other party called him Huo Dingyi, or why the Prince Rui called him a spy.

After careful consideration, Nangong Yue tentatively asked:
"Huai Xu, Qin Xuanxiao said that Steward Niu is a spy. What do you think?"

The three of them stared intently at him.

Chu Huaixu raised his head, his expression unchanged, and said calmly:
“I don’t know, but at least in my case, he isn’t.”

He probably has a lot to do next. Just to do all that, Lao Niu has to be something else!
At least he must have killed the old ox!

The four of them chatted inside the room for nearly half an hour.

Finally, Jiang asked Chu Huaixu, "So what do you want to do next?"

The dead fox could actually understand what his master meant.

But after thinking about it, he said, "Grandmaster, I need some time to think about it. I want to go out for some fresh air and I'll give you an answer later."

"Okay." Jiang Zhi lowered her eyelids slightly, but did not urge him.

At this moment, Han Shuangjiang and Xu Ziqing are still participating in the preliminary rounds at the martial arts arena.

He was walking alone, seemingly aimlessly.

But as they walked, they inexplicably found themselves in the courtyard where the old ox lived.

Chu Huaixu walked inside and sat down on the stone bench under the tree.

It snowed lightly last night, but not heavily, so there's no snow on the ground today; it's all melted.

He started to drift off.

For some reason, the words Niu Yuanshan spoke to Qin Xuanxiao on the high platform echoed in his ears.

"The Preface to the Chu Huai Tree is the Preface to the Chu Huai Tree."

"This humble servant has already sent word that Huo Dingyi is dead. Does Your Highness not know this?"

In that scene, Niu Yuanshan was kneeling on the ground, his forehead touching the ground, looking exactly like a dead servant, or an old dog kept by the royal family.

Chu Huaixu actually hoped that he could struggle for himself again, rather than for him.

To be honest, the Chu Huai Preface is unnecessary.

But precisely because it's not needed, that's the most painful part.

Because in the face of the general trend of the world, Niu Yuanshan was just a small figure.

He knew nothing about the Primordial Spirit Realm, the Kunlun Grotto-heaven, the Primordial Spirit, or the Dao Ancestor's many arrangements. He knew nothing at all.

In fact, the two sentences he said to Qin Xuanxiao were the truth of everything!

The Preface to the Chu Huai Tree is indeed just the Preface to the Chu Huai Tree!

Huo Dingyi has indeed long since disappeared from this world!

From beginning to end, he was just Chu Huaixu.

But he chose to kill himself, choosing to give up his own life to spare Huo Dingyi.

This is what makes Chu Huaixu most upset.

But he sat under the tree, enjoying the cool breeze, and after a long while, he suddenly murmured:
"Old Niu, aren't you letting your younger self off the hook too?"

Chu Huaixu naturally received no reply.

He stood up and went into Niu Yuanshan's house.

There wasn't much in the room, except for three uneaten spirit oranges on the wooden table.

The oranges are grown in Yaoshan; you can't buy them anywhere else.

After Chu Huaixu sat down, he looked at the oranges.

"Is it really that delicious?" he asked, puzzled.

He knew very well that Old Niu had a particular fondness for this kind of food.

He casually picked up an orange and peeled it.

Chu Huaixu put a segment of the tangerine into his mouth.

The oranges were very sour, and he would pause for a few seconds after eating each segment.

After eating the whole thing, he felt incredibly sour, but he didn't cry.

"It's so sour, old cow! It's fucking sour!" Chu Huaixu spread his hands, and the orange peel fell onto the table.

"It's so sour, how can you usually swallow it?"

After finishing the sour orange that he could hardly swallow and saying those words, Chu Huaixu's conflicted heart had found its answer.

Then follow your heart.

He had figured out what to do next.

Chu Huaixu stood up and walked out of the house where the old ox lived.

"Then let's do it one at a time." He looked up at the sky.

The Emperor's divine sense abandoned the Prince Rui's vessel this time and instead possessed him. In a sense, he saved Qin Xuanxiao's life.

“But you shouldn’t have!” In his mind, the image of Qin Xuanxiao standing on a high platform looking down at a dog flashed through his mind.

—You're in trouble.

Are they the main characters in the world?
Chu Huaixu chuckled.

I can save them, and I can kill them.
