Chapter 713: Chapter 388: Unremarkable
Chu Qing’s words made Zuo Zhongtang feel familiar; he had answered in the same manner when Chu Qing asked him earlier.
Yet now, looking again, he felt as if he was dancing on the edge of a knife.
Even at this moment, he was still unwilling:
"You all... I am the Young Sect Leader of the Profound Mystery Sect. By doing this... aren’t you afraid of our sect’s revenge?"
"Who in the Profound Mystery Sect wants revenge?"
A voice came through.
Zuo Zhongtang looked up with delight:
"Uncle Ouyang! It’s me, Zuo Zhongtang; we met once three years ago!"
Chu Qing turned his head and indeed saw Ouyang Tianxu walking over with Ouyang Tianfeng.
Ouyang Tianxu glanced at Zuo Zhongtang and nodded:
"I remember."
"Wonderful! Uncle, save me. This person colludes with Celestial Sound Mansion and intends to capture me. Please help me."
He pointed at Chu Qing.
Ouyang Tianxu conveniently cupped his fist and saluted Chu Qing:
"I apologize for being late."
Ouyang Tianfeng mimicked the gesture, standing to one side.
Chu Qing smiled:
"I intended to go straight up the mountain, but unexpectedly, I caught your attention."
Their casual conversation left Zuo Zhongtang dumbfounded.
Suddenly, he realized that Chu Qing’s words were perhaps not meant to be vengeful.
It seems he really had no qualification to know his name.
Ouyang Tianxu’s gaze fell on Zuo Zhongtang:
"Enough, I can’t help you with this matter. Think carefully about why you’ve ended up like this."
Liu Jinghan then spoke up:
"Take them all away."
Only then did the disciples of Celestial Sound Mansion act, capturing the Profound Mystery Sect disciples who could not move and had been restrained on the spot.
The excitement faded away imperceptibly.
But the sight opened the eyes of the onlookers...
"Who is that young man? The attitude of Celestial Sound Mansion towards him is amazing, and Ouyang Tianxu’s behavior is even more unbelievable.
"Claiming to be a subordinate?"
"Never seen him before, could it be... he is that person?"
"Which person?"
"The one who fought against eight masters of the Celestial Evil Cult alone in front of Celestial Melody City and saved the third master of Celestial Sound Mansion!"
"It’s him! To be honest, I was also invited to the Cold Valley Gathering that day and had the opportunity to see him from afar!"
"So what? Acting like this is undeniably domineering.
"The Profound Mystery Sect is, after all, one of the Nine Great Forces; he has no fear, ordering killings and captures!"
"What kind of talk is that? If I had his martial arts prowess, I’d be even more domineering!"
"Makes sense."
"Given his martial arts, explaining things before catching someone is already reasonable; otherwise, the situation is stronger than people, and he is close to the Celestial Sound Mansion, accepted by Liaoyuan Mansion, and in Lingbei, he is already a unique and unparalleled figure!
"With Ghost Emperor not appearing, he is number one!"
Once the last eight words came out, the crowd fell silent.
The people gradually dispersed...
...
...
Ouyang Tianxu originally heard that Chu Qing had come to Immortal Cloud Mountain, hence he came down the mountain to receive him.
Without much commotion, he simply brought Ouyang Tianfeng along.
Now, they walked at the front, with the Celestial Sound Mansion crowd escorting the Profound Mystery Sect people behind, while Ouyang Tianxu explained the current situation to Chu Qing as they walked.
That day, Chu Qing set the venue for the gathering at Immortal Cloud Mountain.
Liu Zhaonian immediately spread the news across the land and used various communication methods to send out the invitations.
Then they headed straight to Immortal Cloud Mountain.
Originally, they intended to organize the gathering in a secluded place on the mountain.
Unexpectedly, upon arrival, they were stopped by the Manor Master of Immortal Cloud Manor.
He suggested that the hero’s gathering could be held at Immortal Cloud Manor.
At that time, the entire manor would cooperate fully, preventing the attending heroes from having to face the harsh conditions outside.
Now the preparations for the gathering are almost complete; in another two or three days, when the various experts arrive, the gathering can formally begin.
Chu Qing listened while nodding but could not help asking more about this Immortal Cloud Manor Master.
Ouyang Tianxu thought carefully and said:
"The Manor Master’s surname is Li, and his name is Li Xianyi.
"His martial arts are average, but he is immensely wealthy.
"His reputation in the Martial World is mainly due to his generosity and financial aid. If traveling friends from the Martial World face difficulties, they just need to ask him, and he will generously help.
"Thus, he has good relations in the Martial World."
Chu Qing was a bit surprised:
"Sounds like a fool with money."
The Martial World is mixed, with all sorts of people.
If you are willing to be generous, people will specifically seek you out.
Even if there’s nothing inconvenient, they can pretend there is... just to find a way to get some silver from you.
But that’s somewhat manageable.
There are also those who directly invade and seize wealth.
Li Xianyi’s ability to thrive in such a Martial World and maintain his reputation suggests it’s not as simple as it seems.
Understanding Chu Qing’s implication, Ouyang Tianxu smiled and said:
"Though Li Xianyi’s martial arts are average, he has several skilled people under him.
"They’re no ordinary characters, slightly inferior to the two beauties, three uglies, five freaks, and one demon."
"I see."
Chu Qing nodded and asked no more.
After all, it was just borrowing Immortal Cloud Manor for the hero’s gathering; understanding who the true host was sufficed without inquiring too deeply.
Since Ouyang Tianxu and Liu Zhaonian were surely informed of the details, they believed there would be no mistake.
