Chapter 736: Chapter 399: Alliance Leader! (Part 2)
At this point, executing Zuo Huaifeng and releasing Zuo Zhongtang’s matter can be considered concluded.
Zuo Huaifeng deeply glanced at Chu Qing, then looked at his own son, sighing inevitably in his heart.
He had already seen through it; Chu Qing, who seemed like a person without desires and ambitions, was definitely not as selfless as imagined.
In that circumstance earlier, his reason for mentioning Zuo Zhongtang was not only to force an admission but also to give him a choice.
This was telling Zuo Huaifeng that your son obeys me, I protect him, be honest and take all the blame on yourself, and I can safeguard your son and the Profound Mystery Sect.
If you continue to be obstinate like this, the situation will not be turned around, then take your son and everyone from the Profound Mystery Sect to break through the Ghost Gate!
This was Chu Qing’s purpose for bringing up Zuo Zhongtang under that situation.
It was precisely because Zuo Huaifeng understood this that he remained silent for a while then made his choice.
Earlier, someone raised objections, standing on the opposing side of Chu Qing.
They wanted to kill Zuo Zhongtang, maybe even destroy the Profound Mystery Sect.
Since Chu Qing wanted the Profound Mystery Sect, he naturally couldn’t allow such things to happen.
Fierce words were just to be expected.
Liu Zhaonian also saw this, therefore led the agreement, followed closely by Ouyang Tianxu.
As for Ji Yexue... she was just slow in following, not seeing anything, still pondering how many circulations to practice tonight to ensure adequate cultivation and rest.
Whether others could see this was a matter of perspective.
But even if seen through, it had no significance.
By now, Chu Qing already had an aura of grandeur looming over him, his every word and action were extraordinary, not something that common clever individuals could easily dismantle with a few words.
Zuo Huaifeng, looking at such a Chu Qing, couldn’t help but be moved in his heart.
If his son had such cleverness and martial arts... why would he need to collude with the Mirror of Sin?
He reckoned that Chu Qing would soon kill him.
Then sweep away the masters and ascend to the position of Martial Arts Alliance Leader.
But just when he thought so, Chu Qing suddenly said:
"Everyone, today we gather here to discuss how to deal with the Celestial Evil Cult."
"Although the Mirror of Sin should also be eradicated, compared to the Celestial Evil Cult, it is just a minor issue, unworthy of mention."
"Why not first take Zuo Huaifeng away, thoroughly interrogate later to find clues about the Mirror of Sin."
"Let everything return to the normal track now, continue with the unfinished matters."
With this reminder, everyone remembered that they were still vying for the position of Martial Arts Alliance Leader.
Just now, among the leaders of various great influences, some had risen, some had fallen, some had become prisoners.
This was already beyond what ordinary martial artists could contend for.
However, matters had yet to settle, there was still excitement to watch, the crowd immediately agreed with Chu Qing’s words.
With a glance from Chu Qing, people from the Celestial Sound Mansion and Liaoyuan Mansion took Zuo Huaifeng away.
Of course, before this, Chu Qing had already sealed his meridians.
Though his injury wouldn’t lead to death, he wouldn’t be able to stand up for a short period.
In an instant, only Chu Qing remained on the martial stage.
He stood leisurely, his attire complementing his gentlemanly jade-like demeanor, if there were a folding fan in his hand, he would truly be a graceful noble son with not a trace of the Martial World’s beatings.
"Although forced to act earlier, now I’m already standing on this stage, why not continue?"
"If anyone wishes to come up and learn, I will accept the challenge."
With his current martial arts, logically, no one should want to take a chance.
But the reality was that earlier when Sikong Yijian inquired, no one dared to come up, yet after Chu Qing spoke, shadows of people continuously flew up from the crowd.
Chu Qing was momentarily speechless, how did it seem like he was the easy target?
But since he had spoken, naturally, he couldn’t retreat, nor was there a need to retreat.
Might as well face them one by one.
In no time, over ten people took turns coming onto the stage, yet all were swiftly knocked down by Chu Qing.
Not one executed a second move.
Either struck off the stage by his palm or caught casually and thrown off.
Sometimes, simply a shake of his sleeve would bewilder the opponent, leaving them wondering what changed, only to find themselves under the stage before realizing.
These skills were like flowing clouds and water, astonishing everyone present.
Ultimately, it might be because it was too natural.
Chu Qing neither displayed an unbeatable force nor employed any surprising advanced techniques.
The techniques he used were mostly understood by everyone, but understanding them didn’t mean they could achieve the same effect.
Instead, it further demonstrated his grandmaster style of lifting the weight with ease.
And every challenger knocked off the stage acknowledged his superior skills with a respectful fist salute.
Gradually, no one dared to step onto the stage and make a fool of themselves.
Liu Zhaonian and Ouyang Tianxu exchanged glances and suddenly stood up together:
"The Third Young Master’s martial arts are unparalleled; we come together to seek enlightenment!"
Chu Qing looked up and laughed heartily:
"Great, both of you, feel free to make your moves!"
"May all esteemed seniors also step forward so we can have a lively battle!"
As he spoke, his body shook slightly, and as his arms moved, the sound of a dragon’s roar echoed throughout the Immortal Cloud Manor.
In mid-air, Liu Zhaonian and Ouyang Tianxu each unleashed their own ultimate skills, stirring up endless sound waves of Gang Wind.
Ji Yexue raised her gaze, brought together her forefinger and middle finger, and there was a hum.
A snow-white long sword at her waist suddenly unsheathed.
This sword is named Twelve Cities!
A treasured legacy of the Yao Tai Sect, the sword technique is called [Jade Capital Seventeen Swords]!
The sword’s brilliance unfolded, displaying a grand spectacle.
Seeing the three top experts join forces against Chu Qing, the atmosphere in the arena was stirred to the extreme.
Although they wanted to see Chu Qing triumph against the three masters’ combined attack, they dared not truly believe it.
Unexpectedly, amidst the three’s onslaught, Chu Qing not only maintained the upper hand but swiftly reversed to take control.
Dai Zongming, Sect Leader of Thousand Flowers, sneered:
"Acting... since you’re going to perform, I’ll let you perform to the fullest!"
He had already noticed that Ji Yexue, Liu Zhaonian, and Ouyang Tianxu were all not so clear-cut with Chu Qing.
This spectacle was mainly staged for the world to see.
Yet he was unwilling to let this group succeed.
So he immediately flew up:
"In that case, I’ll also come to see the supreme techniques!"
As he leaped, behind him seemed to shine with a hundred radiant lights.
Renowned for Inner Power, the Thousand Flowers Sect’s [Thousand Splendor Scripture] practiced by Dai Zongming claims to penetrate eight directions, illuminating the nine heavens and ten lands.
At this moment, as his Inner Breath circulated, indeed it had the momentum to rush toward the stars.
As his palm turned, before it touched down, the wind began to move, rolling up a sky full of dust.
But just at this moment, Chu Qing’s body twisted, his legs flying faster and faster, the swift wind turned into a whirlwind, and the whirlwind created a vortex, the generated Gang Qi instantly skewing all present masters, silent leg shadows arrived, formless methods began moving, just the sound of bang bang bang!
Whether Liu Zhaonian, Ouyang Tianxu, Ji Yexue, or Dai Zongming, all were awarded a kick.
No more than varying in severity... Liu Zhaonian, Ouyang Tianxu, and Ji Yexue were lightly touched and withdrawn, but only Dai Zongming of the Thousand Flowers Sect received a solid stomp on his face, not only shattering his [Thousand Splendor Scripture], but directly knocking him to the dust.
Thus, Chu Qing settled his stance, standing on the performance stage.
The crowd inside remained speechless, not knowing what to say for a while.
The battle rumor at Celestial Melody City was substantiated, this man indeed could rely on his own strength to confront multiple experts’ joint assault and still emerge victorious!
Liu Zhaonian clasped his hands:
"Liu Zhaonian from Celestial Sound Mansion, pays respects to the Alliance Leader!"
"Ouyang Tianxu from Liaoyuan Mansion, pays respects to the Alliance Leader!"
"Ji Yexue from Yao Tai Sect, pays respects to the Alliance Leader!"
"Sikong Yijian from Supreme Sword Sect, pays respects to the Alliance Leader!"
The four top experts spoke one after another, their gaze eventually falling on Dai Zongming, who had just gotten up with a dazed look on his face.
He looked around blankly, feeling pain upon his face.
Though aware of what just transpired... at this moment, saying anything else was already meaningless, he took a deep breath and followed suit with the others, clasping his hands:
"Dai Zongming from Thousand Flowers Sect, pays respects to the Alliance Leader!"
Chu Qing nodded slightly, was about to say something when fierce footsteps approached:
"Report!!!!
"The General of the Celestial Evil Cult leads their disciples, has already surrounded the foot of Immortal Cloud Mountain, shouting to eradicate the Lingbei Martial World!"
