System: I Can Open Martial Arts Chests

Chapter 739: Chapter 401: Sword and Moon

Chu Qing smiled faintly, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

"In that case, I’m afraid Prince Xi will be disappointed..."

"Today’s battle, you will only accompany the General, and head to the Netherworld together!"

"Such boastful words."

The General spoke slowly at this moment.

As soon as his voice started, there was an instant feeling that all around was silent, leaving him the only presence.

Though he was seated, inexplicably, his figure seemed to infinitely tower, his imposing aura majestic and grand, causing one to feel a sense of awe before a mountain.

The General opened his mouth to say something, but at this moment, the sound of wind-breaking also came.

Liu Zhaonian from Celestial Sound Mansion, Ouyang Tianxu from Liaoyuan Mansion, Ji Yexue from Yao Tai Sect, Dai Zongming from Thousand Flowers Sect, Sikong Yijian from Supreme Sword Sect, and from Profound Mystery Sect... Zuo Zhongtang.

At the same time, experts from various factions swarmed over and in just a moment, gathered like a sea, forming two distinct groups with the Celestial Evil Cult people on the opposite side.

The differences between these two groups were evident from any aspect.

Besides the General and Prince Xi, as well as those Eight Great Battle Generals, everyone from the Celestial Evil Cult dressed identically.

Black clothes, red sleeves, with a murderous gleam in their eyes.

Looking again at Chu Qing’s side, they wore all sorts of clothes, some even bare-chested...

The disciples of the Celestial Evil Cult lined up in a neat square, each meticulously completing their positions.

But the people around Chu Qing were scattered everywhere... some standing, some squatting, some sitting, some lying down, and others hanging in trees...

Just looking at these subordinates from both sides left Chu Qing speechless.

Merely hearing that the Celestial Evil Cult was coming made them panic, making Chu Qing feel they were indeed a loose bunch.

Even with the Alliance Leader as their backbone, it was difficult to completely unite them.

Now, looking at both the enemy and allies, the words Chu Qing said about not letting any of Prince Xi’s people accompany him to the grave seemed like mere bravado.

The only consolation for Chu Qing was that Liu Zhaonian and his group were rather amicable.

Aligned in a row, each displaying their flair.

Even Dai Zongming did not falter at this moment.

Standing there, adding momentum...

The only thing worth complaining about was Zuo Zhongtang getting mixed in.

This was a helpless move since Chu Qing decided not to cause trouble for the entire Profound Mystery Sect, someone had to step forward today.

Since ordinary disciples were not trusted, Chu Qing had faith in Zuo Zhongtang’s participation...

Thus, he represented the entire Profound Mystery Sect.

In terms of martial arts and status, he was far inferior to the others, standing there now with a bit of insecurity.

While Chu Qing was observing both enemies and allies, the Lingbei Martial World group stared at the floating Chu Qing, utterly stunned.

Besides Liu Zhaonian and Ouyang Tianxu, who had previously witnessed it at Celestial Melody City, the others could not help but sneak glances.

They scrutinized to confirm there was no platform under Chu Qing’s feet nor ropes above his head...

Then each silently considered him a prodigy.

A perfectly ordinary person could indeed fly.

Though this was not the first time they heard of it, Chu Qing’s fame spread following the detailed account of the Celestial Melody City battle.

Everyone had heard of Chu Qing standing suspended, commanding the Martial World.

Initially dismissed as exaggeration.

But now seeing it with their own eyes, they reluctantly believed.

Acknowledging that Chu Qing’s martial arts had truly reached an extraordinary Realm.

The General’s gaze swept across everyone’s faces then he gently moved his wrist:

"With this, the heroes of Lingbei Martial World have practically gathered here.

"I pose a good word of inquiry, hoping for a cautious reply from each of you."

Without waiting for them to speak, he continued on his own:

"Our Celestial Evil Cult exerts pressure on all sides, intending to unify the world, clearing the Martial World’s plague, supporting the livelihood of all under the heavens.

"This is our grand ambition, and those willing to submit today shall be meritorious officials tomorrow.

"With riches and honor immeasurable...

"But if you ignore the trend of the world, stubbornly resist.

"Then today Immortal Cloud Mountain will be your burial place!

"I urge you to think thrice before answering, do not blindly risk your lives, and avoid saying you were not forewarned."

His voice was majestic and overwhelming, stopping the wind as soon as he spoke, conveying clearly to everyone on both sides, the righteous and the evil.

For a moment, Immortal Cloud Mountain fell into a brief silence.

Suddenly, Chu Qing raised his eyebrows:

"The ambition of Celestial Evil Cult to unify the world is evident to all.

"However, ambition should be called ambition, why adorn it with pompous rhetoric, like... clearing the Martial World’s plague, supporting the livelihood of all under the heavens!?

"May I ask, General, leading Celestial Evil Cult’s disciples to attack cities and slaughter masses, how many ordinary citizens have died at your hands?

"Each for selfish purposes, practicing the Slaughter Scripture, how many innocent lives have been lost to you?

"Today spouting such tripe is utterly laughable!!"

Chu Qing’s words instantly reached everyone’s ears.

For a moment, those in agreement were countless.

"Since the Great Qian Dynasty’s fall three hundred years ago, though within our Martial World heroes have risen, forming autonomous territories, conflicts are common, yet never once was there a city massacre. freⅇ

"Any harm to the people was committed by heretical and evil paths.

"Such words about eliminating the Martial World’s plague can be uttered by righteous people under the heavens, but solely not by Celestial Evil Cult!"

Liu Zhaonian spoke loudly:

"Moreover, if someone must unify the world, why not elect our Martial Arts Alliance Leader?

"He is young and bold, has a righteous heart, unmatched martial arts, and boundless integrity!
