Borrowing a sword

Chapter 316 Even the World's Protagonist Can Be Killed
As night fell, today's East-West Continents Grand Competition came to an end.

Due to the large number of participants, the preliminary rounds had to be held over three days.

Since it's a competition, there will naturally be winners and losers, and some will be happy while others will be sad.

Qin Xuanxiao won the competition easily in the afternoon, but his heart was still filled with gloom.

This prince was extremely displeased.

The lackey did not come forward to identify Chu Huaixu, which is one reason.

After Chu Huaixu emerged from the Imperial Pool, neither His Majesty nor the two Imperial Preceptors answered his questions about what had happened inside, clearly unwilling to tell him. This was the second point.

"What did he do?"

"It actually caused the four strands of Emperor's divine consciousness within my body to suddenly fall into a deep sleep!"

Qin Xuanxiao desperately wanted to know the truth.

No matter how much he pressed them, these people in the know simply wouldn't say anything.

But he could tell that both his grandfather and the old imperial advisor Ming Xuanji had very unpleasant expressions.

Only the female imperial advisor seemed indifferent, absent-minded, and frequently lost in thought.

It's not hard to tell, however, that she doesn't seem to be in a bad mood.

The Crown Prince Rui was unaware of how cruel the reason these people were hiding the truth from him was.

Since you are the "container," how could I let you know that the Emperor's divine thoughts also have the ability to possess another body?

Even more tragically, he had originally become a discarded "container".

Upon meeting Chu Huaixu, the ancestral emperor immediately "fell in love with someone else" and soon looked down on Qin Xuanxiao.

But now that the attempt to possess someone has failed, it will be difficult to find such a perfect opportunity again in the future.

In this situation, Ming Xuanji and the others knew perfectly well that Qin Xuanxiao, the previously abandoned option, immediately became the optimal solution.

There are still many things that need to be kept from him.

In fact, Qin Xuanxiao did not know why the Ancestral Emperor wanted him to identify Mu Bingjiu in front of everyone.

Admittedly, he definitely wanted to teach Chu Huaixu, this former henchman of the imperial court, a lesson.

However, in the end, Chu Huaixu did not emerge from the Imperial Pool carrying the nation's fortune and the Emperor's divine will.

This made his actions that day seem like those of a clown.

Qin Xuanxiao had already sensed something was amiss and knew that things were definitely not as simple as he thought.

But there was nothing that could be done.

Aside from that, he and Chu Huaixu didn't have a particularly deep friendship to begin with.

That fragile relationship has surely collapsed completely.

"The feud is now set in stone," thought the Crown Prince Rui.

"However, the fact that he did not obtain the Emperor's divine sense within the Emperor Pool is ultimately a good thing for me."

"Those four strands of divine consciousness will be mine sooner or later!"

"Huo Dingyi, you're nothing but a dog raised by the [Organization] since you were a puppy. You dare to take what the Ancestral Emperor left behind!"

This made him breathe a sigh of relief.

As for Mu Bingjiu's death, he was born into the royal family and received a proper upbringing and education, so it was naturally not something he would take to heart.

How many people die every day in the vast Moon Kingdom?
If you're going to be loyal, then your life is ours.

"I just don't know how much longer the Ancestral Emperor will remain asleep."

For him, without the Emperor's divine assistance, he believed he would have had no chance of winning against Chu Huaixu on the arena.

To be honest, Prince Rui's heir has always had a very strange feeling.

Ever since he met Chu Huaixu, he felt that more and more mysteries were emerging around him.

Many things have become increasingly confusing and unpredictable.

"He is clearly only at the third realm, but the old national teacher seems to value him very much."

“That day at the martial arts arena, even the Protector of the Nation came. Only my grandfather, the Emperor, could send him.”

"It means that the Emperor instructed me to do something, and he also had my grandfather cooperate with it."

"Even with such a large-scale operation, they still couldn't completely discredit Chu Huaixu's identity."

"The Daoist sects, and even the entire Eastern Continent, are probably already displeased."

The four major sects of the Eastern Continent are closely connected.

If something serious really happens, they will definitely not disregard the Daoist sect and sit idly by.

"Moreover, this time, even Sword Master and Luo Tian came in person, as well as that Jiang Zhi!"

"What exactly are my grandfather and the ancestral emperor plotting?" Qin Xuanxiao felt a headache coming on.

In fact, Ming Xuanji and the current Moon Emperor are also having a headache.

"Of the ten strands of the Emperor's divine consciousness, four have been lost!"

A trace of worry flashed in Ming Xuanji's empty eyes.

"The cause and effect involved here is even greater than his curing Zhong Ming!"

"Chu Huaixu, Chu Huaixu, this unexpected change of yours is truly going to turn the world upside down!"

The old blind man felt that the future of the Xuanhuang Realm was heading down a path he had never seen before.

"I only have seven years left to live."

But in this situation, he couldn't help but consult the oracle.

Ming Xuanji was caught in a dilemma.

The words echoed in his ears again.

"I'll make you die halfway through my scheme."

The night is getting darker.

Han Shuangjiang and Xu Ziqing stayed by Chu Huaixu's side the whole time. "Why are you two always following me around and staring at me like this?" Chu Huaixu said with a hint of helplessness.

"I'm really fine." He knew the two of them were concerned about him.

They were also very saddened by Niu Yuanshan's death.

There's no way around it; when Old Niu was the butler, he was just too approachable.

Back then, when Chu Huaixu was practicing the "Sword Refining Technique" and was in so much pain that he fainted, Han Shuangjiang's first reaction was to go find Steward Niu to take a look.

The situation unfolded too abruptly, and everything seemed shrouded in mystery.

But neither Big Ice Block nor Little Xu asked any further questions.

After listening to Chu Huaixu's words, she looked at him and said, "This isn't like you."

"Hmm?" Chu Huaixu looked up at his Daoist partner: "What do you mean, 'not like me'?"

"Chu Huaixu, knowing your personality, I don't believe you'll do nothing next," Han Shuangjiang replied.

She looked into the other person's eyes and said, "I hope you'll tell us whatever you want to do. We'll be there for you no matter what you want to do."

Upon hearing this, Xu Ziqing nodded vigorously. He was quite tongue-tied at times like this, and could only say, "Yes, Senior Brother!"

Chu Huaixu looked at them, thought for a moment, and then decided to selectively tell them some of what had happened in the Imperial Pool.

"Possession!?" The two couldn't help but exclaim in surprise upon hearing this.

“But isn’t this method of possession a wicked art unique to the Kunlun Cave?” Han Shuangjiang asked.

Upon hearing this, Chu Huaixu let out a cold laugh: "Indeed, who would have thought that the founding emperor of the Moon Kingdom, in order to avoid death, would devote himself to studying these things and had already laid out a plan hundreds of years ago."

"But this action is unacceptable to the righteous path!"

"Moreover, he wants to possess me. If something goes wrong during the process, it won't just be a loss for my sect," Chu Huaixu said calmly.

He wasn't bragging when he said that.

There's nothing we can do; he's just too special.

The fact that it can destroy the primordial spirit is special enough!

"So, Grandmaster went to find Sword Master and Tianluo."

"As long as I stay in the capital, my safety shouldn't be a big problem."

"After all, the three of them together are no joke."

"Moreover, there are so many powerful cultivators at the seventh and eighth realms on this trip."

"Under these circumstances, if they still insist on harming me, then the Moon Kingdom will need to send a large number of powerful warriors."

"In this way, the situation is impossible to resolve."

"At this point, it has already become a war between nations."

"The Moon Kingdom is openly declaring war on the Mirror Kingdom."

“Now that a great calamity is about to befall the world, no one wants this situation to occur, no one wants to see infighting of this magnitude, and no one can bear the responsibility,” Chu Huaixu said.

If the ancestral emperor successfully possessed the body, then we'll just have to accept it, even if it means refusing to admit it.

Faced with the grand trend of the world, a generation of geniuses has fallen, and it is beyond redemption. However, the world has gained another powerful expert at the Great Perfection of the Ninth Realm. Indeed, as the Ancestral Emperor said, at that time, he will be the master of the situation!

But the problem isn't that the old man failed!
This meant that Chu Huaixu had no intention of leaving this place of trouble.

He will continue to participate in this intercontinental competition.

What if Xiao Xu and Big Ice Cube lose? Wouldn't that be handing over the chance to enter the Origin Spirit Realm to someone else?

This is not what Chu Huaixu wanted to see.

He personally speculated: "The reason why the Ancestral Emperor abandoned Qin Xuanxiao and instead possessed me may also be related to the fact that I have refined the power of the origin."

After all, this old guy was once a peak-level being in the Ninth Realm.

He definitely wants to restore his cultivation level.

In this way, the power of origin becomes a necessity.

At this moment, Han Shuangjiang looked at Chu Huaixu and said again, "You still haven't said what you plan to do."

She had always thought that Chu Huaixu was a vindictive person.

He has always been very good to his own people.

But if someone wants to harm him, then he will be met with swift and decisive action.

"What are you doing?" Chu Huaixu smiled.

"Let's start with Qin Xuanxiao then."

In front of the two of them, he calmly said four words: "I will kill him."

The four simple words made Han Shuangjiang and Xu Ziqing gasp for breath.

In the capital of the Moon Kingdom, kill the Crown Prince?

Perhaps, among all the cultivators of his generation in the world, only Chu Huaixu possesses such spirit!
They racked their brains but couldn't figure out what to do.

Just as Chu Huaixu said before, now that a great calamity is about to befall the world, everyone will prioritize the overall situation.

Leaving aside Jiang Zhi, that peerless killer, Sword Master and Tianluo would absolutely not help Chu Huaixu do such a thing.

"I already have a general plan."

"Whether it will work depends on whether Qin Xuanxiao himself is willing to cooperate at that time," Chu Huaixu said calmly.

After saying that, his eyes turned slightly cold.

Don't forget, he still has four strands of the Ancestral Emperor's divine thoughts within him, something that Chu Huaixu must eliminate!

Without the resurrection coin, Chu Huaixu would already be dead.

They have essentially succeeded in killing Chu Huaixu once.

"Under the watchful eyes of the public, expose my and Lao Niu's identities, and make Lao Niu commit suicide on the spot in front of so many citizens of Yueguo."

Then
If I were to kill you, I would do so in front of ten thousand people!
