Chapter 22: Mo Qingchen the Faithful!
So, what happened exactly?
The person roaming through the dark mist; who exactly was he?
“Could that person be…?” Lin Qingxian’s timid voice could be heard and her second senior brother’s face changed to a murderous look.
“Senior Brother Changge is sinister, cunning, narrow-minded, and overambitious. His temperament is no different from Master. If he becomes an ace and is willing to stay behind the scenes and not show up, I, Mo Qingchen, will stand upside down and feast on poop,” Mo Qingchen said.
Mo Qingchen’s tone was very cold.
Lin Qingxian sighed.
Her second senior brother was a kind person, but his mind was too stiff. She still remembered the time back when they were younger, which was a little bit more than three years ago, when Shen Changge had just arrived at the Empyrean Sword Sect. Later on, each of the original senior disciples ran into problems and Shen Changge became the eldest senior brother. It was at that time when Mo Qingchen was only twelve years old that he learned about the viciousness of the human heart.
She still remembered the moment back then when her eldest senior brother went on the mountain for his saint-play. However, the dark mist descended, and a while later, her eldest senior brother went to find Mo Qingchen with a face that seemed as though he was constipated.
“Qingchen, help me with an experiment. This is a very important experiment. Should I succeed and become loaded, you’ll get to enjoy the success with me,” Shen Changge said.
“Sure thing, Senior Brother! I can finally do you some help!” Mo Qingchen’s young and tender face was blushing with excitement. The dark mist had just descended back then and the situation in the sect was very tense. When Mo Qingchen was told that he could help the sect, he became extremely excited.
“I’m going to hit you later and you mustn’t hit back. This is a very important detail. It has something to do with the dark mist.” At that time, Sheng Changge’s face looked solemn, mysterious, and serious.
Overwhelmed by great excitement, Mo Qingchen believed in him.
And then…
Shen Changge threw Mo Qingchen, who was on the verge of dying and had bruises all over his body, to the side with a sorrowful face and even kicked him two more times as if he enjoyed it.
Now that Mo Qingchen had already grown up, he knew why his senior brother had not allowed him to fight back. If he had fought back at that time, Mo Qingchen, who had already stepped into the Enlightenment stage, could easily beat Shen Changge to death!
It was said that a boy may grow up to become a man within a day. After that day, Mo Qingchen felt that he had matured.
When Mo Qingchen thought about the moment when he allowed himself to be beaten, his face would turn dark in spite of himself. He had even taken off his Spiritual Energy barrier to provide his senior brother the best opportunity to hit as he was afraid that he would delay his senior brother’s experiment on that mysterious dark mist and keep him from making a heroic contribution.
Now, he felt that at that time, Shen Changge was definitely just itching to whack someone!
Although he was only fifteen this year, he already knew the treachery of the human heart and was extremely mature. Do you know what have I experienced over the past three years?
Senior Brother Changge c*cked me with his wittiness for god knows how many times!
The reason I trained so hard is to wait for the day when Senior Brother Changge dies!
Even if I can live a long life, at the moment when Senior Brother Changge dies, being able to take a respectful hot piss on his grave would mean that my efforts in cultivation aren’t in vain!
“Cough, cough. Senior Brother Qingchen, Senior Brother Changge only bullied you for that one time…” Lin Qingxian said.
In the end, after Lin Qingxian caused an inexplicably sad look to arise in Mo Qingchen’s eyes, she remained quiet.
Senior Brother Changge was really evil.
But at that moment, Qin Chuan seemed a little quiet. He was sitting off to the side with something in his mind.
After quite some time, they walked back.
They found the elder on their way back.
Mo Qingchen quickly approached him and siphoned a gust of his Spiritual Energy to help suppress the toxins in the elder’s body.
“Elder?” he said.
The elder woke up slowly and could not resist gasping. Although the wounds on his body were not fatal, the toxins in them had caused him to suffer a lot.
But what was that just now?
The elder’s expression was tinged with a little strangeness. Looking at Mo Qingchen and the rest of them who seemed just fine, he could not help but ask, “Where is the demon tree?”
“The demon tree was killed…”
What?
The demon tree was killed?
That demon tree was at the peak of the Liberation stage. Should one encounter such a demon that existed within the dark mist, the odds would be against even regular aces who were at the Divine Bridge stage. After all, such demons had too much in their arsenal of techniques. And what’s more, they were extremely mysterious. Under the circumstances where nothing was known about a particular demon, people being killed in surprise was something that happened too often.
Was it the figure from earlier on?
He suddenly remembered that terrifying Swordlight seemingly unleashed by a figure, and then how the densely packed tree roots had fled frantically after they supposedly sensed something terrible before he fell into a coma.
An aura that could strike fear into even a peak Liberation stage demon…
He could not help but shudder.
“What have all of you seen?” the elder asked.
“I saw a ray of Swordlight rising into the air like the sun which then soaked the entire place in unceasing amounts of golden light. It turned into billions and trillions of swords that instantly reduced the demon tree’s clone into ashes!”
Mo Qingchen could not help but recall what he had seen. Thinking about it right now, one could only imagine just how terrifying that flaming Swordlight was. Even the great master back in his prime would need to evade the piercing light. So, how could that be Senior Brother Changge?
Mo Qingchen let out a sigh of relief.
“Rising Sun, soaked in golden light… could it be the Sol Sword Sect?” The elder’s face turned pale as he said, “As expected. Third conveyed a message to me some time ago saying that some other sects may still be alive in the dark mist.”
“The Sol Sword Sect came in from the outside the Empyrean Sword Domain. They weren’t in the mainstream when they first entered. However, their background is very mysterious…”
“Is there really such an ace among them?”
The elder’s face dimmed as he realized the severity of this matter. Today, an ace from the Sol Sword Sect had extended a helping hand to them. What was that supposed to mean? Were they trying to convey some kind of message?
Being advanced in age, he had a lot going on in his mind. For a while, his expression changed again and again.
After quite some time.
“Chuan, why are you not talking?”
Qin Chuan was startled for a moment. “I’m fine, Master. I was controlled by that demon tree earlier on. I’m kinda dizzy and a little bloated right now…” he replied.
“Is Senior Brother Qin Chuan alright? I think we should hurry back to the Empyrean Sword Sect.”
“The resources are still with us. The food we brought back this time should last the Empyrean Sword Sect for another week.”
…
Back at the Empyrean Sword Sect.
“Senior Brother Qingchen, is there really no way that it might be Senior Brother Changge?” Lin Qingxian thought it over again and again and she still felt like the person’s body shape and voice resembled her senior brother. But the uncanny resemblance was the thing that made it seem so inconceivable!
Mo Qingchen’s face darkened as he said with a gentle voice, “Junior Sister, you’re thinking too much. That person cannot be Senior Brother Changge.”
Seeing how confident her second senior brother was, Lin Qingxian sighed and had no choice but to give up this idea.
Watching the little junior sister leave and head back to rest, Mo Qingchen’s face grew dark.
He walked straight to the place where his senior brother was staying.
His face was gloomy, but after he arrived in the vicinity of his senior brother’s room, the coldness on his face instantly disappeared. He adjusted his expression slightly, becoming gentle and somewhat respectful.
His senior had brother once taught him a lesson as he kicked him away. Do not let anyone learn your true thoughts and never slap the smiling guy’s face.
He knocked on the door.
“Senior Brother Changge, are you there?” he called.
