Chapter 749: Chapter 409: Chen Qingmo, Righteous to the Core
"Sect Leader Chen?"
Ming Hu was startled but didn’t let go of Su Xin’s hand and shouted to Chen Qingmo:
"Sect Leader Chen, I am Ming Hu, the senior disciple of Thunder Sword Sect. I genuinely like Su Xin, please make it happen!"
"Chen Qingmo..."
Su Xin, with wide eyes, showed more suspicion and a trace of fear than joy.
Chen Qingmo looked at Su Xin: "Junior Su, where are you going?"
Su Xin bowed respectfully: "Sect Leader Chen, from today onwards, I am no longer a disciple of Zhenyang Sect, take care!"
"Ming Hu, let’s go!"
Su Xin pulled Ming Hu and turned to leave, but they found themselves surrounded by darkness, an unusual spiritual power enveloped them entirely, making it impossible to leave.
Su Xin looked back at Chen Qingmo: "Sect Leader Chen, I’ve left Zhenyang Sect. Why are you blocking me?"
Ming Hu sensed something was wrong between the two and naturally wanted to help Su Xin, shouting:
"Sect Leader Chen, there’s a crisis at Chang’an Palace. People from the Demon Sect are attacking the Three Great Sects. Hurry back and help, don’t waste time here!"
"Heh."
Chen Qingmo shook his head: "I came here to apprehend those colluding with the Demon Sect and to thwart their plot. Junior Ming, will you assist me?"
Ming Hu hesitated: "Who is colluding with the Demon Sect?"
Chen Qingmo looked at Su Xin: "I’ve found out, Zhenyang Sect disciples Ruo Mei, He Zhiqiu, He Su, Lan Yin are remnants of the Cyan Lotus Sect, and Wei Wan, Fang Xue, Tantai Mingyue, and Su Xin collude with people from the Demon Sect!"
"I am here to capture the traitor Su Xin!"
Ming Hu’s eyes widened: "He Zhiqiu and Ruo Mei are from the Demon Sect? Sect Leader Tantai actually colludes with the Demon Sect?!"
Chen Qingmo coldly said: "He Zhiqiu, Ruo Mei, and Lan Yin have used the transformation secret technique. Their true bodies are Qin Gengyun, Qiu Zhihe, and Mo Xiaolan."
"Among them, Qiu Zhihe is an elder of the Cyan Lotus Sect, and the other three are her accomplices!"
"What?!" Ming Hu felt his mind was spinning and refuted:
"They are from the Demon Sect, what does this have to do with Junior Sister Su?!"
Chen Qingmo continued:
"Tantai Mingyue, to seek revenge against the Western Empress Lin Yuan, had a relationship with the Spirit Corpse Mountain Master and gave birth to a daughter, raised on Zhenyang Mountain and named her Su Xin."
"Tantai Mingyue also colluded with the Cyan Lotus Sect remnants, aiming to assassinate the Western Empress and the Three Great Sect Leaders and elders during the Immortal Ascension Ceremony!"
"And Su Xin, Wei Wan, Fang Xue were her accomplices!"
"Junior Sister Su is the daughter of Junior Martial Uncle Tantai and the Spirit Corpse Mountain Master?" Ming Hu’s pupils trembled.
Su Xin’s face turned pale, stared blankly at Chen Qingmo, and suddenly reacted:
"You captured my mother! What have you done to her?!"
Chen Qingmo righteously said: "Tantai Mingyue colluded with Spirit Corpse Mountain and Cyan Lotus Sect, slaughtering innocents. As the sect leader of Zhenyang Sect, I must cleanse the sect!"
"Su Xin, you were merely swayed by Tantai Mingyue, you’ve committed few wrongs. It’s not too late to turn back, come back to Zhenyang Mountain with me, I’ll ensure fair treatment by the sect rules!"
Su Xin looked at Chen Qingmo, her gentle eyes slightly reddened, suddenly smiled:
"I understand now, my mother loved you wholeheartedly, only to be used by you. Chen Qingmo, can you live up to my mother’s infatuation?"
Chen Qingmo slowly approached Su Xin: "You’ve been poisoned by your mother for many years, it’s normal to be confused temporarily, come with me, we’ll return to Zhenyang Mountain, and I’ll give you a new life."
Su Xin retreated: "You’ve deceived my mother for so many years and still want to deceive me? I won’t go with you!"
Chen Qingmo’s voice turned cold: "Su Xin, at this point, do you still want to spew lies? Don’t force me to act."
Su Xin coldly looked at the handsome, gentle, and righteous man before her.
Suddenly remembering Tantai Mingyue’s struggles for Chen Qingmo to support the difficult times of Zhenyang Sect.
The tender expression when missing Chen Qingmo.
The proud expression when saying Chen Qingmo was Su Xin’s father.
Finally, all these images shattered, transforming into Chen Qingmo’s cold words:
"Tantai Mingyue colluded with the Spirit Corpse Mountain Master, allied with the Demon Sect remnants!"
A surge of spiritual power radiated from Su Xin’s body, her hair fluttering, and the Gentle Heart Sword unsheathed!
"Chen Qingmo, do not slander my mother!"
Chen Qingmo shook his head and sighed: "Su Xin, since you remain obstinate, don’t blame me for disregarding past acquaintances."
His hand slightly lifted, a magnificent spiritual power pressure surged like a tide, Su Xin’s Gentle Heart Sword drew an arc, slashing towards the surge.
As the arc of sword energy emerged, several fissures tore open in the surrounding darkness, even the space faintly distorted and deformed.
Chen Qingmo smiled: "To be able to unleash such powerful sword techniques at the Nascent Soul seventh-layer, impressive, but a pity."
After speaking, the tide-like spiritual power swallowed Su Xin’s sword energy and surged towards her!
Su Xin’s face turned white; that sword gathered all her spiritual power, unexpectedly easily dismantled by Chen Qingmo.
Despair filled her heart, she closed her eyes.
Boom!
A loud crash sounded, and Su Xin opened her eyes, seeing a burly figure blocking before her, holding back the overwhelming wave!
"Ming Hu?"
Su Xin looked at him in surprise: "When was your cultivation unsealed?"
Ming Hu’s whole body flickered with lightning, shouted fiercely, and veins bulged on his neck, evidently exerted all his energy to resist the spiritual power surge, unable to answer Su Xin.
Suddenly, Ming Hu spat out a mouthful of blood, countless wounds appeared on his body, turning into a blood-stained figure quickly.
"Go, leave!"
Ming Hu trembled all over but steadfastly shielded Su Xin, hoarsely shouting.
"Ming Hu!"
Su Xin’s eyes brimmed with tears upon seeing his miserable condition, clenched red lips, suddenly said to Chen Qingmo:
"Stop! I’ll go with you."
Ming Hu was stunned, but he was too suppressed to speak.
"That’s more like it."
Chen Qingmo smiled, and the wave vanished.
Ming Hu thudded to the ground, hands propped, gasping heavily, powerless to stand.
"Don’t go..."
Suddenly, a simple blue hairpin appeared before him.
Ming Hu lifted his head and saw Su Xin’s long blue hair hanging down, her soft smile:
"Wait for me to return."
After speaking, Su Xin stood up and walked towards Chen Qingmo.
"No!"
Ming Hu wanted to stop her but couldn’t get up, only watch helplessly as Su Xin approached Chen Qingmo.
Ming Hu’s eyes reddened, Su Xin looked back at him, eyes full of tender and sorrowful affection.
The next moment, a black light flashed, and both disappeared.
"Su Xin, Su Xin!"
Ming Hu cried out in vain and then fell to the ground unwillingly.
...
Chang’an Palace.
"This witch is actually pregnant?!"
The people were stunned upon hearing Chen Yunfeng’s words.
Xia Qinglian glanced at the copper mirror in Chen Yunfeng’s hand and said indifferently:
"So the Rebirth Mirror is in your possession."
Her slender hand lightly waved, the Rebirth Mirror shattered, Chen Yunfeng was suddenly lifted into mid-air by an invisible force.
Then, lotus petals appeared.
"Stop, you stop..."
Amidst his terrified screams, the Heaven-Reaching Peak Master was sliced into hundreds of pieces, and turned into ashes by a mass of Red Flame.
Silence fell over Chang’an Palace.
Xia Qinglian looked at the pale-faced crowd: "Even if I am pregnant, what can you do to me?"
