Chapter 763 - 413: Killing with Eyes Closed?

Chapter 763: Chapter 413: Killing with Eyes Closed?

Chu Qing’s words hit a sore spot.

Liu Qingyan disliked being nagged about the lifelong issue most. By the standards of this era, she was truly an old maid.

Yet, she adored the freedom and spontaneity of the Martial World, living by her heart’s desire. Though she had considered her lifelong commitment, she believed in letting fate decide, unwilling to marry just anyone arbitrarily.

Moreover, how could someone devoted to the Martial World be entangled in romance?

Liu Zhaonian had often worried about her, truly helpless with a daughter of ’quite an age’ still awaiting marriage.

Whenever he caught her, he would nag for a long while.

As fate would have it, Liu Zhaonian returned to the Celestial Sound Mansion, anticipating no more nagging, yet her cousin began to show concern for her marriage.

Unbelievable... terribly disrespectful!

Unfortunately, from the perspective of status, he was the exalted Martial Arts Alliance Leader, and she could only endure his words without countering effectively.

All she could do for the moment was secretly shoot daggers at Chu Qing with her eyes.

Chu Qing ignored her gestures, finalized the personnel, and set off.

This mission demanded speed, so the three factions provided their sect’s elite experts. Departing from Immortal Cloud Mountain, they used the Lightweight Technique to rush towards Profound Mystery Sect’s territory.

The journey was uneventful because, although they moved in great numbers, they concealed their movements to prevent any leaks.

Otherwise, given Mirror of Sin’s prowess, they might flee before the group arrived.

Even now, Chu Qing worried whether Mirror of Sin would escape after the result of the Immortal Cloud Mountain battle became public.

They traveled day and night, making the most of their time, and finally reached the Southern Domain Headquarters.

From the appearance, nothing here seemed unusual.

Surrounded by desolate mountains and empty valleys, scarcely visited by people, without a trace on the ground.

Yet both Zuo Huaifeng and Wenren Qianluo confirmed to Chu Qing that this was indeed the location.

The entrance lay within the valley, with the interior of the desolate mountain hollowed out and filled with mechanisms.

Chu Qing and the others paused at the valley entrance, allowing everyone time to adjust their breath and gather energy after the arduous journey.

Once everyone was ready, they would proceed with their roles.

There was no need for all to kill; having Chu Qing was sufficient.

Their role was to prevent people from Mirror of Sin from escaping.

If anyone attempted to flee, they needed to halt them.

Taking advantage, Chu Qing gazed at the nearby mountain.

After a silent moment, he spoke softly:

"This mountain... isn’t very big."

Wu Qianhuan, Gentle, and Wenren Qianluo who followed him exchanged glances.

What did he mean?

Wenren Qianluo couldn’t help but ask:

"Are you planning to flatten the mountain?"

"...How about trying?"

Chu Qing turned back, showing a bit of eager excitement.

Wu Qianhuan opened his mouth to say something but left it unsaid.

Wenren Qianluo took a sharp breath, feeling Chu Qing’s idea was outrageous.

Gentle nodded:

"I think it’s doable."

"You think it’s doable?"

Chu Qing immediately grinned:

"Then let’s try."

As the thought sparked, Chu Qing’s Inner Breath circulated, the Tri-Element Light Wheel about to emerge from his back. He suddenly halted.

Soon after, Wu Qianhuan, Gentle, and others noticed Chu Qing’s figure had vanished.

Just as they began searching, he reappeared.

But not empty-handed... he carried two people.

One heavily wounded, another on the brink of death.

As the three saw the two individuals clearly, the one near death suddenly opened his eyes, and his mouth moved toward Chu Qing.

Wu Qianhuan thought he might speak, but instead, a silver beam shot from his mouth.

With a buzz, the silver beam halted before Chu Qing’s cheek, blocked by a golden light.

After the force ceased, it fell to the ground.

Chu Qing ignored it, the force penetrated through the two people’s bones with a series of cracking sounds. Their screams echoed, leaving them immobile.

"After all, they belong to Mirror of Sin. Despite being heavily injured, one cannot let their guard down."

Chu Qing casually dropped them on the ground, curiously examining their injuries:

"Who injured you?"

The two from Mirror of Sin appeared rather indignant:

"Aren’t you all together? Stop pretending to be confused!"

"You’re wronging me."

Chu Qing furrowed his brow:

"My people haven’t acted yet."

The two assassins glanced at each other, sensing something amiss.

But irrespective... Chu Qing’s words implied he would act too!

Resigned, they shut their eyes, ready for whatever consequence awaited them.

Chu Qing smiled, warmth immediately permeating his heart as he spoke softly:

"Why be on edge? I merely wish to inquire about the situation here...

"Was there a large force invading here?"

One assassin shook his head.

"No?"

"Indeed, someone did invade, but not a large force, only a single person."

As he spoke, confusion clouded his eyes, consciousness seemingly unclear.

The speaking voice appeared somewhat rigid.

The other’s expression mirrored his.

Chu Qing’s eyes narrowed slightly:
