Chapter 650 - 356: Annihilation of the Entire Clan (Part 2)

Chapter 650: Chapter 356: Annihilation of the Entire Clan (Part 2)

"You... you clearly promised to spare me!"

"Did I promise?"

Chu Qing was puzzled.

"You... you certainly promised!!"

Han Qiushuang’s face twisted in pain:

"I begged for mercy, you... you later asked me questions, didn’t that mean... as long as I cooperated, you were willing... willing to spare my life?"

"Then think again, after you said ’Hero spare me’, what was my action?"

Chu Qing casually asked.

Han Qiushuang was stunned, thought for a moment, and his face turned pale.

He remembered... after asking that question, Chu Qing’s action was... shaking his head.

Fine, fine, relying on high martial arts to bully others, is that it?

Han Qiushuang was enraged, struggled to stand up, wanting to show Chu Qing that he too could be killed but not humiliated.

But before he could stand, Chu Qing had already drawn Injury Concealment.

Though Chu Qing drew his sword, Han Qiushuang felt his soul being taken away.

The following words, he could no longer utter.

Blood flowed from his heart, unable to move on the ground, and before long, he met his demise in the northwest.

Chu Qing looked around at the Twenty-one Constellations lying on the ground, his steps wandering, where he passed, all were slain by a single sword stroke.

With this, Chu Qing opened his system interface for a glance.

The interface was filled with dense text... causing Chu Qing to be delighted.

Although today’s regret was not insignificant.

On one hand, regretting killing so many Celestial Evil Cult members, but all in vain.

There was no system reward.

On the other hand, the General didn’t show up until the end.

Not even knowing where this person is at present.

But during this recent time, the accumulated tasks were finally cleared.

First was Li Shengxing, then the nameless ones, lastly the Blood Sea Record.

"Adding these together, a ten-draw should be about right?"

He stroked his chin, suddenly feeling that the General not coming today, although regretful for him, might also not be good news for the General himself.

After this battle, he would surely make significant progress.

If next time he encounters the General, it might be an inevitable death for that person.

Looking up again at the scene, losing their last leader, the Han Family was already in disarray.

Some wanted to fight, some wanted to flee, but neither was achieved. They seemed like minced meat in a meat grinder, slaughtered by Celestial Evil Cult and Two Mansions experts.

But the Celestial Evil Cult remained a major problem.

The General’s subordinates all practiced the Slaughter Scripture, each having deep Inner Power, and forming formidable arrays against the enemy.

The primary advantage for Celestial Sound and Liaoyuan Mansions was sheer numbers, to barely contend with it, but without expert intervention, the outcome was uncertain.

Thinking of this, Chu Qing hesitated no longer, flying into the battlefield, wherever his sword passed, there would be deaths.

In mere moments, he scattered the Celestial Evil Cult’s formation, allowing Celestial Sound and Liaoyuan Mansions to assault, with defeat impending.

At this time, the people from the city walls had also come down.

In the battlefield, the slaughter continued.

Chu Qing fought among the people, his eyes scanning all around.

He was actually looking for someone...

Eight experts had besieged him, but only seven were killed or captured.

Ning Wufang had disappeared during his confrontation with Prince Mei.

This person colluded with the Celestial Evil Cult, Chu Qing did not intend to let him go.

But today’s situation, he could not attend to him for now.

If he found him now, he would take him down, whether to fight or kill, it would be at his discretion.

If not found... then it would have to wait until after the battle.

This battle continued for a full hour before it completely subsided.

And now the battlefield was unlike the previous damage caused by Chu Qing and his companions...

At that time, their techniques were immensely powerful, leaving the ground unrecognizable.

Everywhere was full of pits and dust, a desolate, murderous scene.

But now, what met the eye was nothing less than extremely tragic.

Corpses piled like mountains, blood flowed like rivers, severed limbs were everywhere, with a strong stench of blood surrounding the area.

Liu Zhaonian and Ouyang Tianxu ordered the battlefield to be cleared.

Chu Qing was invited to the Five Tones Hall; Ouyang Tianxu naturally also joined in the hall.

Liu Zhaonian’s face was pale, after his battle with Han Qiujun, he suffered considerable injuries.

Additionally, his mood was volatile from Chu Qing’s fight with the eight experts, such rollercoaster emotions were not beneficial for an elderly person, especially since he was injured.

The result was that his injuries were not likely to heal quickly.

He sat high at the main seat, exchanging a few courteous words.

Mainly thanking Ouyang Tianxu for helping Celestial Sound Mansion and the like...

Ouyang Tianxu showed no reaction on his face, but inwardly couldn’t help sighing; if he had known Celestial Evil Cult would invade with large forces, he would have escaped long before.

Yet, he maintained a righteous demeanor.

He was also somewhat puzzled, uncertain of Chu Qing’s exact role?

After all, he was the great hero who contributed immensely, without whom, even if he helped Celestial Sound Mansion, the situation couldn’t have been salvaged.

Yet he didn’t express these thoughts openly... They were not familiar enough to easily pry into personal matters.

After a few casual talks, Ouyang Tianxu suddenly slapped his thigh:

"Oh, there’s something I forgot to tell you all."

He immediately recounted the occurrence of an additional person on the battlements during Chu Qing’s fight with some individuals, explaining as such.

Liu Zhaonian was horrified at hearing this, Chu Qing also frowned slightly:

"What did this person look like?"

"An old man."

Ouyang Tianxu spoke in a soft voice:

"Looked seemingly ordinary, nothing special.

"From the build, seemed to be a bit hunchbacked.

"Hair was sparse... Oh, wearing gray clothes."

As he described, Chu Qing’s mind had already formed an image.

Charity!

This image was identical to Charity.

The kind old man once encountered outside Two Realms City.

This person also came to Celestial Sound Mansion today?

Chu Qing frowned slightly, this old man was mysterious, unknown in specifics.

And when he arrived, Chu Qing was deeply engaged with the top experts, not focused on the battlements, hence unaware of such an unexpected guest.

What was his purpose here?

What kind of person is he?

Thoughts turned twice in his mind, then he looked at Liu Zhaonian:

"We might need to investigate, right?"

"Alright."

Liu Zhaonian nodded:

"I’ll instruct someone to investigate right away."

Ouyang Tianxu glanced, uncertain what he felt, hesitating for a while, he slowly said:

"Star Split Mansion acted against nature, Han Qiujun colluded with Celestial Evil Cult, harming martial world comrades.

"They no longer qualify as one of the Three Mansions... Now, we may need to discuss Star Split Mansion’s ownership issue."

Without Han Qiujun, Star Split Mansion was like a sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

How to divide, naturally depended on Star Split River and Celestial Sound Mansion.

But how to precisely subdivide... was again debatable.

Liu Zhaonian merely chuckled:

"No need for many words, Ouyang. In my opinion, your mansion and mine should split it in two, each taking half."

"?"

Ouyang Tianxu looked at Liu Zhaonian in surprise, then at Chu Qing.

Suddenly realizing... Liu Zhaonian wasn’t generally magnanimous, but with this young man present, Celestial Sound Mansion surely had an extremely bright future.

No need to argue over such matters incessantly.

Thinking of this, he cupped his fists:

"Thank you, Brother Liu."

Liu Zhaonian waved his hand:

"After this battle, Lingbei will surely be in chaos.

"You and I, as Mansion Masters, must prepare early to face this storm."

Ouyang Tianxu nodded, about to speak, but suddenly heard hurried footsteps coming from outside the door.

Liu Zhaonian frowned and let the person enter.

The visitor entered Five Tones Hall, kneeling on one knee:

"Report Mansion Master, just received urgent news, one of the Three Gates, Autumn Water Gate has been annihilated, all loyal and righteous are dead, the rest have submitted to Celestial Evil Cult!"
