Chapter 768: Chapter 415: Huangfu Yixiao (2)

"That’s true."

The swordsman in white nodded and glanced at Chu Qing:

"Who might you be?"

"Just a nobody, not worth mentioning."

Chu Qing smiled, refusing to answer directly.

The man then said with a smile:

"Indeed, even if you told me, I might not know.

"I am Huangfu Yixiao."

He spoke with confidence, thinking that once his name was mentioned, Chu Qing would surely recognize it.

His confidence was justified.

Thinking of this person’s sword and connecting it to his name... Chu Qing slowly spoke:

"May I ask, how do you relate to Sword Emperor Huangfu Changkong?"

"He is my father."

Huangfu Yixiao replied with a smile.

Chu Qing was somewhat dazed, the Sword Emperor’s son.

No wonder he has such sword technique... it makes perfect sense!

But why would the Sword Emperor’s son be here at Lingbei instead of by his father’s side? Moreover, why did he come to Mirror of Sin?

With thoughts swirling in his mind, his face showed no hint of it, only an appropriately surprised expression:

"So it’s the Sword Emperor’s son. I’ve long heard of your reputation."

"That’s not true... you don’t know me."

Huangfu Yixiao seemed a bit helpless:

"But fortunately, my father’s reputation is big enough, so you wouldn’t easily offend me, right?"

"...Shouldn’t it be ’definitely wouldn’t offend you,’ instead of ’wouldn’t easily offend you’?"

"An ordinary person would surely think of the former.

"But you... don’t seem to be ordinary. From your words, I feel that if I were to offend you, even as the Sword Emperor’s son, you wouldn’t hesitate to kill me...

"So, you’re not sincere at all."

Huangfu Yixiao’s words seemed somewhat capricious.

Chu Qing was about to inquire when he heard him say:

"You’re not a nobody, otherwise, when I mentioned my father, you wouldn’t have been so calm.

"You don’t know me, but you know of my father’s identity, which is why you say ’long heard.’...

"But in just a few sentences, many of your words were insincere... Naturally quite dishonest."

"I see."

Chu Qing smiled:

"Indeed, I don’t know Huangfu Yixiao’s reputation, and me being a nobody is false.

"I am the third, known as Third Young Master in the Jianghu."

"So it’s you!"

Huangfu Yixiao’s eyes widened.

In that instant, Chu Qing was captivated by his eyes.

Clear and bright, you could see to the bottom with one glance.

From those eyes, you could see what it means to be unsullied by dust.

This person... must have been well protected.

He looked at Chu Qing, candidly saying:

"I’ve been hearing your name these past few days, on Immortal Cloud Mountain breaking the Celestial Evil Cult, slaying the General and his top experts, shaking the world.

"No wonder you have such confidence... So, Third Young Master, could you help this younger brother with a favor?"

Chu Qing suddenly felt that Huangfu Yixiao was indeed an interesting person.

Initially thought to be arrogant, but his words seem honest, as if he had no ulterior motives.

He immediately laughed and said:

"Sure, tell me. If it’s within my capability, I’ll certainly help you."

His words were not just pleasantry.

After all, being the Sword Emperor’s son, proper respect should be given.

Building a good rapport wasn’t a bad thing either.

Huangfu Yixiao was immediately pleased:

"Your words are sincere, how wonderful, worthy of a Martial Arts Alliance Leader, generous!

"Actually, I came to the Southern Domain to find someone.

"But the Southern Domain is vast, and there are too many people... I followed many clues, finally coming here and discovered the branch of Mirror of Sin.

"These people aren’t good, they seem to have some connection with the old man Li Juechen. I just barged in thinking the person I was looking for was held here.

"Searching everywhere, I couldn’t find any trace of them.

"Later I realized... the Mirror of Sin are all assassins; their targets are mostly dead.

"They wouldn’t capture prisoners, much less bring them back for detention...

"I guess I’ve gone in the wrong direction again, but as of now, I’m truly out of ideas. Since you’re the Martial Arts Alliance Leader of the Lingbei Martial World, you must have wide connections. Mobilizing people to find someone shouldn’t be too difficult..."

Chu Qing was somewhat curious:

"Who is it that is troubling Young Master Huangfu to search for personally?"

"A monk, but not a monk."

Wenren Qianluo felt utterly bewildered:

"A monk, but not a monk? So is he a monk or not?"

"No, no..."

Huangfu Yixiao waved his hands repeatedly.

"Oh, not a monk."

Wenren Qianluo felt he understood.

"Yes, he’s a monk!"

Huangfu Yixiao looked completely helpless.

"But didn’t you say he wasn’t a monk? You even nodded just now."

Wenren Qianluo thought this conversation was utterly mismatched.

Chu Qing couldn’t help but laugh and cry; if he waited a little longer, would these two start arguing over this?

He didn’t leave Wenren Qianluo puzzled for too long and explained:

"The person he’s looking for is a monk, and his religious name is ’not.’"

"What do you mean by ’not’... wait, his religious name is ’not’?"

Wenren Qianluo suddenly realized:

"So that’s why you said he’s not a monk? Not... his master must be out of his mind, giving such a name to his disciple!"

Chu Qing totally agreed with this.

The three carefree immortals of the South Ridge all had ridiculously strange names.

The wife of the escaping scholar forgot that he was her husband due to illness and chased him every day, forcing the scholar to flee for his life.

The monk who is clearly a monk yet has the religious name ’not’... causes people’s upper and lower lips to constantly battle when talking about him.

Among the three, Yige Daoist’s name sounds the most normal.

Yet this made Chu Qing even more puzzled:

"Why is Lord Huangfu searching for this monk ’not’?"

"I can’t say."

Huangfu Yixiao smiled awkwardly:

"If I tell, my father will break my legs."

"..."

Chu Qing nodded:

"In that case, I won’t ask.

"But about the monk ’not,’ as far as I know, he’s currently in Lingbei.

"It’s hard to say his exact location...

"After this matter is resolved, I’ll send someone to investigate."

"Thank you very much."

Huangfu Yixiao laughed aloud.

At this moment, the Red Ghost, who had climbed out of the pit but was ignored for quite a while, leapt into the air:

"Did you all... forget about me!?"

He was clad in armor, surrounded by layers of flames.

With a roar, intense flames surged skyward, accompanied by rolling black smoke.

His hands swung as he struck a pose in the air, and between his palms, a massive True Qi Ball formed, filled with roaring flames and thick smoke.

This move seemed exhausting for him.

Once he lifted the True Qi Ball high, the Qi suddenly expanded, and he raised it fiercely toward Chu Qing and Huangfu Yixiao.

Huangfu Yixiao was somewhat shocked:

"He knows who we are and still dares to attack?"

"Well... the Mirror of Sin is always this fearless."

Chu Qing nodded in agreement.

Huangfu Yixiao smiled with a hint of admiration, then closed his eyes, a buzzing sound as Infinite Sword Qi erupted.

Standing like a mountain, majestic and awe-inspiring.

Chu Qing drew his saber accordingly.

In an instant, the blade rose and fell, layer upon layer, endless lines.

[Heaven and Earth, Ghosts and Gods are All Helpless]!

The sword glint and saber edge intertwined in an instant, destroying the fireball and simultaneously landing on the Red Ghost.

The Red Ghost trembled, with half his body instantly torn by the saber glint.

Following a teeth-grinding sound, the other half was ruined under the Sword Qi.

The saber glint and Sword Intent flew forward, a single sweep leaving the Red Ghost’s entire body utterly obliterated.

Next moment, the sharp edge continued, smashing through the mountain and heading for the endless stars.

Liu Qingyan’s surprised voice suddenly resonated in his mind:

"Oh dear, oh dear, what’s this? Are there immortals hidden in the mountain?

"Why do I see strong light coming from the mountain... You’re all inside, tell me, did you find any treasures?

"The Mirror of Sin has been killing for so many years and must have collected quite a lot of valuable items. Remember to leave me something."

Chu Qing looked around at the ruined scene and replied:

"I’ll save it for you; aside from what I’ve taken, the rest is yours."
