Chapter 661: Chapter 362: Ingenious Means
At the moment Chu Qing finished speaking, Ning Wufang suddenly looked up.
A ferocious black shadow with a terrifying ghost face flew off Ning Wufang’s face, rushing straight towards Chu Qing with a piercing howl.
This scene was like an evil spirit flying out of a person’s body, making the surrounding air become cold and eerie.
Caught off guard, it indeed startled everyone.
And this initial shock... was the purpose of the move.
The Ghost Emperor’s martial arts typically involved the word "ghost," blending both righteous and evil paths, featuring a vast array of techniques.
The move Ning Wufang used was called [Soul-Frightening Ghost Roar].
It primarily centered on the concept of [Fright].
To put it simply, it was about scaring people.
This move was not problematic at all, it was just about looking up and giving you a fright.
No matter how unparalleled your martial arts, capable of sweeping the world, a sudden fright could instinctively make someone take two steps back.
Even if one couldn’t take two steps back, getting momentarily stunned mentally would also suffice.
Ning Wufang could take this chance to escape from a formidable enemy.
As for whether [Soul-Frightening Ghost Roar] could scare Chu Qing, Ning Wufang didn’t dare to take another look.
Earlier that day, he had just joined forces with seven masters to deal with Chu Qing, but not only did they fail to subdue Chu Qing, they were instead defeated by him one by one.
So at this moment, he dared not think of anything else, after casting [Soul-Frightening Ghost Roar], he spun around and dashed out of Celestial Sound Mansion.
He risked coming to Celestial Sound Mansion, not for anything else, but for Han Qiujun.
Han Qiujun’s golden vase was extraordinary, and obtaining it would be of crucial importance to him.
Therefore, he faked an escape during the day and sneaked back at night to catch Chu Qing off guard.
After all, who would expect that one would return after supposedly leaving...
He hadn’t expected that after receiving the Celestial Sound Transmission, Chu Qing would recklessly probe through things that inadvertently tracked back to him.
Then he heard him straightforwardly tell Chu Qing:
"I wouldn’t have thought that the third young master would guess I’d return, as long as I obtain the golden vase from Han Qiujun... I won’t have to worry about anything."
When Chu Qing heard this, he immediately understood the underlying issue and came looking.
But regardless of whether Ning Wufang had expected it or not, at this moment, there was only one path for him... to run!
To run for his life!
He ran out of Celestial Sound Mansion and then out of Celestial Melody City.
This time, he did not take the south gate but the north gate, yet there were no sounds of pursuit behind him.
Only then did Ning Wufang breathe a sigh of relief.
Then he heard Chu Qing’s voice beside him:
"You run pretty fast."
Just heaving a sigh of relief, Ning Wufang suddenly felt as if he were being held tightly by an invisible hand.
He stiffly turned his neck, seeing Chu Qing standing in midair with arms crossed, looking at him.
In a trance, he seemed like an Immortal.
Their eyes met, and Chu Qing smiled and said:
"Still running? If you want to run, go ahead, I can hold out."
"..."
Ning Wufang’s face turned dark, and he finally sighed:
"Not running."
"Then shall we talk?"
Chu Qing’s words were somewhat unexpected to Ning Wufang.
He had thought that not running would result in a big fight, with him eventually being killed or captured... but now it seemed there might be more options?
He looked at Chu Qing with a frown:
"Talk about what?"
"Talk about that golden vase, and also... your young lady?"
Chu Qing started to walk down step by step from midair, as if there was an invisible staircase in the sky.
The overwhelming aura descended with him, causing Ning Wufang’s breath to halt.
But upon hearing the words ’young lady,’ Ning Wufang’s face sank:
"You... better not talk about the young lady..."
"Then let’s talk about the gold vase."
Chu Qing said:
"I’m quite curious about this thing... The Han Family went through great pains to eliminate Xiangshan Sea to obtain it.
"You risked returning to Celestial Sound Mansion also for this gold vase.
"What exactly is this thing?"
"How do you know..."
Ning Wufang suddenly sensed the key to the problem.
It was one thing that Chu Qing managed to track him down on his return, but he even knew Ning Wufang’s purpose?
This was quite strange!
He instinctively touched his chest, ensuring that he hadn’t been poisoned, and thought it unlikely that he was under a Gu spell.
Rumor has it that in the Western Domain, there is a type of Gu insect called [Telepathy Gu].
Consisting of a parent and child Gu pair, the person using the Gu would keep the parent Gu on their body and give the child Gu to someone else, allowing them to eavesdrop on the host’s thoughts through the parent Gu.
Much like the telepathy in Buddhist sect legends.
The means were nothing short of extraordinary.
Chu Qing’s words made him suspect that perhaps he had been placed under such a Gu by Chu Qing... or else, how would he know his thoughts?
"The place where you appeared wasn’t the dungeon... Han Qiujun is already a spent force, besides that golden vase, I don’t know what else about him would attract you."
Chu Qing said calmly:
"I wouldn’t believe you went to him only out of affection."
"...The third young master is indeed impressive."
Ning Wufang accepted this explanation, but still had a question:
"Why aren’t you capturing me?"
"It depends on how well we can talk; if we get along fine, I could let you go, but if not... I might just kill you right here."
He said as he walked to a nearby large rock and sat down:
"Let’s continue the previous topic."
"...The golden vase, right?"
Ning Wufang exhaled deeply, then said nonchalantly:
"That golden vase is called the Heaven and Earth Four Directions Vase... it is one of the Nine Treasures of Heaven and Earth!"
