Chapter 653: Chapter 358: Commission Completed

The uncle and nephew sat in silence for a while until Liu Zhaonian first spoke:

"This matter is extremely dangerous, should we hold the Martial Arts conference?"

Chu Qing glanced at Liu Zhaonian, barely holding back a laugh.

If Ouyang Tianxu heard this, who knows what expression he would have.

Just moments ago, the few of them were discussing the event details for the Martial Arts conference here, including where to hold it and whether it should be in Celestial Sound Mansion, with differing opinions and ideas.

The main concern was that the General had just taken action against Qiushui Sect, and they needed to see how the Lingbei Martial World would react next.

Calling the Martial Arts conference immediately poses several drawbacks at this time.

On one hand, the Lingbei Martial World does not yet have a deep understanding of the Celestial Evil Cult.

The Celestial Evil Cult struck and eliminated Qiushui Sect, but it might arouse the furious wrath of other Lingbei Martial World factions.

Without deep understanding, rashly confronting the General could lead to predictable results.

However, if these people are too stubborn to believe in evil, the Heroic Invitation sent by Celestial Sound Mansion may not even be taken seriously.

On another level...even if Qiushui Sect is extremely concerned, they might not attend because of territorial issues.

Otherwise, while they are away from home, the Celestial Evil Cult could attack, the conference would be held but their home lost...

Such a result is naturally unacceptable.

Therefore, how to conduct this Martial Arts conference, where to hold it, and with the intention to confront the Celestial Evil Cult, it requires immediate action after the conference rather than wasting time on the road.

These series of questions need pondering.

Liu Zhaonian believes they need to make them realize the threat of the Celestial Evil Cult by hitting the south wall.

Only then will this Martial Arts conference be taken seriously.

Ouyang Tianxu, however, feels this would inevitably lead to unnecessary loss.

Breaking through the south wall requires a price...and these costs are lives lost.

Liu Zhaonian felt this sacrifice was necessary; otherwise, without adequate attention, it would be hard to unite everyone, and each fighting separately could result in failure and Lingbei’s fall, plunging the entire Martial World into Celestial Evil Cult’s bloody rule.

By then, even more people would die.

The two argued on this matter for a while until Ouyang Tianxu was convinced by Liu Zhaonian.

After discussing so much, until Ouyang Tianxu left, they felt this matter was imperative.

Yet, as soon as he left, Liu Zhaonian wondered if they should really hold the conference.

Chu Qing picked up the Burning Jade Order:

"The items are collected."

"How could a mere Liaoyuan Mansion be worthy of my nephew?"

Liu Zhaonian shook his head:

"Moreover, even if we break a promise, what can Ouyang Tianxu do?

"He cannot snatch the Burning Jade Order from your hand, nor can he stop Liaoyuan Mansion people from obeying you.

"A last resort could be to kill Ouyang Tianxu, claiming he succumbed to injuries from the battle and handed Liaoyuan Mansion to you on his deathbed..."

Chu Qing quickly waved his hand, knowing full well that although Liu Zhaonian, as the Mansion Master of Celestial Sound, was not naive,

the series of schemes left Chu Qing speechless.

Liu Zhaonian sighed:

"Qing’er, don’t blame your uncle for being harsh; he can be ruthless to anyone but those close to him.

"You and your mother hadn’t seen each other for twenty years, this reunion hasn’t even lasted peacefully for a couple of days... it’s hard for me to accept forcing you out."

Chu Qing replied with a smile:

"I naturally know uncle has my best interests at heart and realize being an Alliance Leader isn’t a carefree job.

"When utilized, they treat me with respect, but once the enemy is gone, the position becomes awkward.

"Some may even wish for my death...

"Luckily, uncle secured maximum benefit for me right?

"One Liaoyuan Mansion, one Celestial Sound Mansion, will be my backing."

"It’s fighting for survival."

Liu Zhaonian stood up:

"Do you have confidence against the General?"

"As always, the outcome will be known after the fight."

Chu Qing stood up as well:

"But, I’m truly not afraid of him, uncle, just rest assured."

"...High skills breed courage, naturally you’re not afraid, sigh..."

Liu Zhaonian sighed:

"Well then, adapt to circumstances, uncle needs to plan a retreat for you, should things turn unfavorable, you can withdraw.

"If Celestial Evil Cult truly becomes overwhelming, taking over the Martial World, you can retreat with your mother, fiancée, cousins, and seek seclusion.

"It’s essential to keep an escape route."

Chu Qing did not resist upon hearing this; if it makes uncle feel at ease, why not?

After chatting with Liu Zhaonian for a while, Chu Qing left the Five Tones Hall.

Despite just having experienced a great battle, there were plenty of matters today...

For one, during the battle, Ning Wufang escaped, requiring further preparation.

Moreover, Chu Tian is also at Celestial Sound Mansion, along with Li Shengxing who was disabled and crippled by him.

The reason for keeping this person wasn’t for anything else but simply not wanting him to die too easily.
