Chapter 606: Chapter 334: Changes for Everyone (Part 2)

"What are you doing sighing and not sleeping so late at night?"

Hearing this voice, Han Yiren was suddenly shocked, and turned around abruptly, only to see Chu Qing sitting in front of his desk, just like that night in Little Cold Valley.

The same appearance without a trace, silent and sudden.

But the first reaction last time was terror, and now he felt a sudden reassurance.

However, he was not a naïve kid and didn’t let his emotions show on his face.

Even more so, he didn’t exchange any pleasantries:

"I keep feeling something’s wrong, the Celestial Evil Cult has sent no new instructions, and the Celestial Sound Mansion is at a deadlock.

"What should we do next? I have this feeling of impending doom."

"You’re not wrong about that feeling."

Chu Qing opened a teacup and poured a cup of tea.

Just after sending off the emotional Liu Zhaohua, Chu Qing left the room.

There were indeed many things to deal with tonight.

The reason he waited in the room was that he felt Liu Zhaohua must have reached her limit. If things weren’t clarified today, she might not be able to sleep tonight.

Because of her age, Chu Qing couldn’t bear it, so he waited in the room to explain the matter with her first.

Once Liu Zhaohua left, Chu Qing came to see Han Yiren.

He picked up the teacup and took a sip:

"You, and those you gathered in the Little Cold Valley, are all just the prelude to this grand feast.

"The Celestial Evil Cult’s aim is to use your lives to bind the Celestial Sound Mansion completely to itself."

Han Yiren was deeply alarmed and clasped his fists, saying:

"Please instruct me, young master!"

"A while ago, I went to the Star Split Mansion and learned a lot from Han Qiuzhe."

As Chu Qing played with the teacup, he spoke.

Han Yiren was startled again, thinking it was you who wreaked havoc in the Star Split Mansion!

News about the events at Star Split Mansion had gradually spread in recent days.

A madman was said to have used his superb martial arts to forcefully break into Star Split Mansion.

Thousands of disciples at Star Split Mansion couldn’t stop him, and he made it all the way to Canxing Hall.

But that was just the beginning of the terror...

He captured Han Qiuzhe as if reaching into a bag.

One man and one sword, broke through the White Tiger Killing Array effortlessly, slaughtering the White Tiger Seven Stars without any resistance.

This madman’s martial arts were unparalleled, and his methods were ruthless, truly shocking.

The reason why this event hasn’t stirred much in the martial world is, firstly, because the news hasn’t fully spread, and secondly, because the Celestial Sound Mansion matter attracted most people’s attention, so few noticed it.

Once the Celestial Sound Mansion affair concludes, it’s expected this will spread throughout the martial world.

Unexpectedly, the person behind this incident was right in front of him...

After leaving Little Cold Valley, he went straight to the Star Split Mansion to kill.

Han Yiren felt a rare sense of delight in his heart.

The situation at Star Split Mansion contributed greatly to his being so helpless now.

Although this wasn’t done for his sake, enjoying some of the satisfaction wasn’t a problem.

But soon, Han Yiren couldn’t afford to be pleased anymore.

As Chu Qing’s words fell one by one, Han Yiren’s face turned pale.

When Chu Qing finished, Han Yiren couldn’t help but take two steps back, then let out a bitter laugh after a while:

"So that’s it... this is how it is...

"I was puzzled; my martial arts were not the highest, my skills not the best.

"Why did the Celestial Evil Cult choose me as the vanguard in their scheme for the Lingbei Martial World?

"Turns out... I was but a pawn doomed to be discarded and destroyed from the start.

"The reason they chose me was simply because I was easier to manipulate."

Chu Qing nodded:

"Valley Master Han at least knows himself well."

Han Yiren was momentarily speechless; even at this point, there’s no need to twist the knife in the wound, is there?

Chu Qing said:

"The Celestial Evil Cult wants you dead, but I won’t let them have their way.

"You haven’t received any new instructions from the Celestial Evil Cult these few days?

"That’s right."

Han Yiren nodded.

"The Celestial Sound Mansion is not like other places; the Celestial Evil Cult dares not act rashly.

"Moreover, the new instructions are waiting for the large forces from the Star Split Mansion and Liaoyuan Mansion... otherwise, with the stage set and performers ready, who will watch the show?

"Wouldn’t it all be in vain?

"Just wait, in a day or two, new instructions will appear.

"By then, the instructions will certainly tell you to leave the Celestial Sound Mansion and which route to take.

"Leave the information, and I’ll make arrangements, ensuring nothing happens to you all."

"Good!"

Han Yiren immediately grabbed this lifeline offered by Chu Qing without hesitation.

Chu Qing was very satisfied with his cooperation, stood up to leave, but suddenly paused, looking back at Han Yiren:

"Do you know Li Shengxing?"

He remembered Yu Shiliu’s commission, one of the targets to take down in Little Cold Valley was to kill Li Shengxing.

But Wang Kuan had mentioned that Li Shengxing was a well-known expert on the Evil Extermination List of the Mirror of Sin.

Chu Qing thought to wait, feeling the Mirror of Sin would stir up trouble again.

The turn of events at Little Cold Valley happened too fast, leaving Chu Qing no time to think about Li Shengxing, but now that these people had reached the Celestial Sound Mansion, he couldn’t ignore it anymore.

The current Celestial Sound Mansion can’t allow these unstable factors.

They must be eradicated before the big battle.

However, before searching for Li Shengxing, he asked casually, hoping for unexpected information.

Han Yiren nodded as expected:

"Of course I know, Blade King Li Shengxing, one of the four friends of Cyan Mountain, they’re now all in the Celestial Sound Mansion."

"Four friends of Cyan Mountain?"

Chu Qing was puzzled, how come there’s a title like Four Friends of Cyan Mountain?

Han Yiren smiled and said:

"Blade King Li Shengxing, Clumsy Sword Mu Chunyu, Smoke Wave Hand Tong Jinglai, and Flying Star Fairy Liao Qingcheng, these four met at Cyan Mountain, fought the Three Ugly Ghosts with Lai Xifeng.

"Although unable to kill this three ugly ghost’s demon ghost, they gained considerable advantage, forcing him back.

"After the battle, these four drank and celebrated at the Wind and Rain Pavilion in Cyan Mountain, eventually forming sworn brotherhood, hence known as the Four Friends of Cyan Mountain.

"It’s said the other three often visit Tongyao City to find Li Shengxing for delicacies.

"Why does the young master suddenly ask about this person?"

Chu Qing, hearing the words "delicacies of Tongyao City," suddenly thought of Qiushi Manor.

This group reared slaves and cooked human flesh alive.

Feeling a twinge of nausea... he was never fond of those delicacies, and now found it even more unpalatable.

"Where do these four reside now?"

Chu Qing asked again.

Han Yiren immediately pointed out the way.

Chu Qing nodded, urging him to wait calmly, then disappeared from the room in a flash.

Though Han Yiren was puzzled, he didn’t dwell on it.

The pressing life-and-death matters at hand left no time for other trivial concerns.

Chu Qing had already reached where Li Shengxing and the others resided.

A grand drama was unfolding before him, and Chu Qing no longer felt like playing cat and mouse with Li Shengxing.

He intended to take Li Shengxing directly, use harsh interrogation methods to ask critical questions, hoping to trigger an unlisted mission chain.

Now, just past midnight, the darkest time of night.

Chu Qing’s feet landed on Li Shengxing’s rooftop, yet he found that at this hour, Li Shengxing wasn’t resting.

Not only wasn’t he resting, he was changing clothes... Night Clothes!

Chu Qing’s eyes narrowed slightly:

"Is this perfect timing?"

This time was indeed the best for an assassin to act.

But why did Li Shengxing only move when he arrived... was it possible he also possessed the perpetual trouble-seeking ability of a school kid?

Wherever he went, things had to happen?
