Chapter 654: Chapter 358: Commission Completed_2

For the sake of practicing the Demon Skill, he consumed human flesh alive, committing heinous crimes. How could we let him die easily?

He must be made to endure endless suffering before we take his life.

Now that Chu Tian is here, Chu Qing is pondering whether to let him leave or not.

Sister-in-law Qin Yuqi is pregnant, as her husband, how can he run around everywhere?

Not to mention rushing over to the Mirror of Sin...

If anything were to happen, Chu Qing would truly have no face to meet Sister-in-law Qin Yuqi or the unborn little nephew or niece.

Moreover, I haven’t seen Liu Zhaohua for twenty years.

Isn’t it the same for Chu Tian?

Since two of the three brothers are by their mother’s side, they should let Chu Tian see her too.

But there is an issue here that Chu Qing has also considered... Chu Tian is several years older than Chu Qing, not like Chu Qing; when Liu Zhaohua left, he was still a baby and knew nothing.

At that time, Chu Tian already had memories.

His longing for his mother is far beyond that of Chu Qing, and the more so, the more complex his heart must be when they meet again.

How to face it, is still hard to say.

Moreover, Prince Mei, who was captured, must also be interrogated quickly.

Chu Qing still wants to try something on her.

When capturing Prince Mei, he deliberately did not destroy her Inner Power, just to see whether a person with such profound Inner Power could break through the restrictions of the Supreme Wisdom Art?

Ultimately regain her former Martial Arts!?

To prevent anything unforeseen, Chu Qing sliced through her hand and foot tendons.

In this way, even if she recovered the memory of her own Martial Arts, Chu Qing could easily take her down again.

After all, he didn’t even care about a perfectly intact Prince Mei at her peak, so why worry about a damaged version?

After handling all these affairs, Chu Qing could let Liu Zhaohua take Chu Tian to the Yin Yang Forest and seek treatment for his leg.

If the whereabouts of the Ghost Emperor could be obtained, a rescue plan might also be devised at that time.

Overall, after the battle today, Chu Qing not only gained many Martial Arts insights but could also push forward many matters by a great step.

After handling these matters, there was still the most important thing... the ten consecutive draws!

At least nine consecutive draws!

I speculate tonight will be sleepless.

Thinking this in mind, I went to find Chu Tian first.

The city wall was not a place for talking earlier, so I had someone settle Chu Tian in my room first.

Now, just as I reached the courtyard gate, I heard Liu Zhaohua’s crying inside.

Heart pounding, I pushed open the gate and saw Liu Zhaohua holding Chu Tian and weeping bitterly.

Chu Tian had regained his original appearance, forcibly holding a firm face, but his eyes were also red.

Wanting to reach out and hug his own mother, but raising his hand only to put it down again... until he heard the gate opening, then he hurriedly looked up.

Instinctively wanting to push Liu Zhaohua away, but seeing it was Chu Qing, he gave up.

Liu Zhaohua also turned back to look at Chu Qing:

"Qing’Er..."

"Mother."

Chu Qing called softly.

Chu Tian frowned slightly:

"You have already recognized each other?"

Chu Qing nodded:

"Big brother... have a seat first, mother didn’t deliberately not come back to find us, she had no choice."

Chu Tian gave Chu Qing a look:

"Then tell me, what exactly is going on?"

Liu Zhaohua came to find Chu Tian, and Chu Tian did not hide his identity.

After all, since she had come here, there’s no point in hiding it anymore.

But Liu Zhaohua is straightforward, true to herself, and in a hurry, she speaks incoherently, though she kept telling Chu Tian it was her fault, but the specifics were a muddle of expressions.

Chu Tian isn’t heartless, and after confirming the identity of the person before him, he wanted to forgive several times, but thinking of the brothers’ situations over the years and their father’s lonely figure, it was hard to easily say the words of forgiveness.

Now hearing Chu Qing say this, he really wants to know what’s going on?

As long as the situation is reasonable... why not forgive?

After all, they are family.

Chu Qing sighed and began to explain Liu Zhaohua’s experiences over these years to Chu Tian.

At the start, she missed the last sight of grandfather, a simple act of chivalry and righteousness led to a vendetta with the ’First Demon of Evergreen’ Gongsun Zongheng, chased for months, severely injured, and took two full years to recover.

An imminent enemy, stepping out of the Celestial Sound Mansion could lead to an ambush at any moment.

Being no match for Gongsun Zongheng, she dared not return home for fear of bringing such danger to Celestial Dance City.

The emotional chaos causing Liu Zhaohua’s inability to express clearly became an orderly narrative in Chu Qing’s words.

A few sentences and the events were crystal clear.

Chu Tian now realized that Liu Zhaohua these years, constantly yearning to return home, was stopped at every turn, and had no home to return to.

Unable to suppress the emotional turmoil any longer, he thudded to his knees:

"It was the child who was wrong, the child thought the mother had abandoned us brothers and father..."

"Quickly get up."

Liu Zhaohua forcibly pulled Chu Tian up:

"It’s not your fault, it’s all mother’s fault."

"It was that Gongsun Zongheng’s wrong!"

Chu Tian gritted his teeth:

"I must kill this villain!!"

"No rush."

Chu Qing spoke slowly.

Chu Tian was taken aback:

"Qing’Er, what do you mean?"

"This person is now in the dungeon of Celestial Sound Mansion, I have already stripped his Martial Arts, but recently I have been too busy to deal with him.

Big brother doesn’t need to worry; when you have the time, you can whip him as you please, just don’t beat him to death.

He owes us twenty years and must repay it little by little."

Chu Qing’s tone was calm, yet Chu Tian’s eyes shone brightly:

"Good, good, as expected of you!

"So you’ve already captured that villain!"

"Speaking of villains..."

Chu Qing asked:

"Where is Li Shengxing?"

"He is in the room."

Chu Tian pointed with his finger:

"He was to be handed to the people of the Celestial Sound Mansion, but I feared some mishap, so I left him here.

"Why did you keep him alive?"

Chu Qing entered the room and brought out Li Shengxing.

This man was currently unconscious, and didn’t seem to be in good condition.

Liu Zhaohua also looked and after thinking a bit, said:

"Isn’t this the young Saber King?

"I heard he had a reputation for chivalry... yet he is an Assassin?"

Chu Qing nodded:

"Not just an Assassin, earlier when we passed Heaven-Reaching Ridge, we encountered someone...

This is another story, starting from the encounter with Niao Shisan at Heaven-Reaching Ridge, then mentioning Yu Shiliu of Qiushi Manor, the steward Wang Kuan, taking flesh from live people, eating it on the spot; such deeds were outrageous.

Liu Zhaohua listened, breathing rapidly, feeling the urge to immediately kill Li Shengxing on the spot.

However, Chu Qing did not want to let him off so easily but instead looked at Chu Tian:

"I plan to emulate the methods of the Mirror of Sin, stating his crimes, executing with death as punishment, upholding justice.

"What do you think, big brother?"

"Fine."

Chu Tian immediately nodded:

"The body should be hung at the Celestial Sound Mansion’s city gate as a warning to others."

"And it must be clearly written... that he is a master listed on the Seventy-two Evil Extermination List of the Mirror of Sin."

Liu Zhaohua said:

"Today in this battle of righteousness against evil, the Mirror of Sin actually sent someone to kill my son. Clearly, this Assassin organization is no force for justice.

"But rather villainous supporters of tyrants!"

The three family members shared the same thoughts, and decided to act immediately.

First, they awakened Li Shengxing and applied the finest medicines. In his conscious state, they flayed and cut the flesh to let him experience the pain of those killed by his hands.

Chu Qing, using his exquisite Saber Technique, tortured him beyond recognition.

Li Shengxing was hung on the city wall while still alive.

A huge banner on his chest displayed his numerous crimes to announce to the world.

Li Shengxing’s life was tenacious enough to endure three hours of wailing on the city wall before becoming silent.

At the moment of his death, Chu Qing’s system prompt came as expected.
