System: I Can Open Martial Arts Chests
Chapter 337 - 200: Invite You Into My Life and Death Chess
Chu Qing crossed his arms, standing silently to the side, his expression somewhat peculiar after listening to Beitang Zun’s speech.
It must be said that Beitang Zun managed to become the Vice Hall Master of Blazing Hall; he hasn’t been mingling aimlessly in the Martial World these past decades.
Most of what he said is true, except for the deceptive part concerning the death of Beitang Lie.
But the problem is, Beitang Lie’s head was taken away by himself and handed over to Beitang Zun.
As a result, his words offer no evidence whatsoever.
With this intelligent officer’s ’help,’ no one can prove that before last night, the Beitang Lie active in front of them wasn’t a disguise by a Celestial Evil Cult fiend.
Thus, the incident of inviting the Night Emperor to kill Beitang Lie became logical.
At least, on the surface, no criticism could be made.
Even if some people don’t believe it, they can only investigate discreetly, searching for proof from various angles, and cannot openly say Beitang Zun is lying.
After all, compared to a Celestial Evil Cult fiend impersonating Beitang Lie, no one would believe that Beitang Zun would seek to assassinate Beitang Lie for no reason!
Besides, his words entirely shifted all responsibility onto the Celestial Evil Cult.
Beitang Lie ’had long been killed,’ the one who instigated the clash between the two halls was the Celestial Evil Cult, and the alleged collusion between Blazing Hall and the Celestial Evil Cult thus did not exist.
In his narrative, Blazing Hall is utterly a victim in the entire affair.
Its reputation remains unscathed.
Everything he cared about could be protected by this.
Chu Qing had to admit, this old fellow truly is very clever!
And after the members of Blazing Hall exchanged glances, they all dropped to one knee:
"Yes, we will obey the Hall Master’s command!!"
After these words were spoken, the entire event was essentially concluded.
The battle between the two halls, from this moment onward, is completely over! 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
"Alright, next... is to find the Celestial Evil Cult fiends hiding within my Blazing Hall!"
Beitang Zun spoke in a deep voice.
In fact, there are two choices when doing this.
The first choice is to find a way to expose these people before Beitang Zun takes full control of Blazing Hall.
The advantage is that it can be done once and for all, ensuring a clean Blazing Hall once Beitang Zun is in command.
The downside is that it would add many complications.
Considering the potential emergence of more variables, both Chu Qing and Beitang Zun felt that they should first seize control of Blazing Hall, then eliminate internal traitors.
Now that Blazing Hall is under Beitang Zun’s command, he issued a direct order:
"Gather all personnel, including logistics within the fortress, at Ghost God Gorge.
"Those who arrive late will be killed, those who disobey will be killed, those who privately burn letters or belongings... will be killed!!"
"Yes, we will obey the Hall Master’s orders!"
Hong Tao and others sternly complied with Beitang Zun’s orders, immediately leading their men to transmit the orders.
"Third Young Master, please."
Beitang Zun extended his arm in invitation to Chu Qing.
Chu Qing turned his head to glance at Tie Lingyun, the two exchanged nods.
Afterward, Chu Qing, accompanied by Gentle, Nianxin, and Nian’an, headed towards the opposite side of Ghost God Gorge.
Amidst the eighteen suspension cables, the assembled personnel seemed numerous, but in reality, they were all major figures of both sides.
Once they reached the Blazing Hall’s side, they could see the dense crowd of Blazing Hall disciples.
However, everyone present seemed somewhat puzzled... previously, the challenge issued was quite fierce, so why the sudden cessation of activity?
But upon seeing Beitang Zun, they hurriedly knelt to pay respects.
Beitang Zun nodded, and before he could speak, a figure suddenly appeared before him.
With a flick of a finger, it aimed directly at Beitang Zun’s face.
This unexpected maneuver was fortunately anticipated by Beitang Zun, who with a sweep of his hand, sent his cape flying.
The finger pierced through the cape, Sword Qi rushing toward his back.
From beneath the cape, a palm emerged, the Pure Yang Palm Momentum was felt as a scorching Fire Strength even before it landed.
However, when the Palm Momentum fell, the person before him had disappeared.
At the same time, Beitang Zun felt the emptiness in his grasp.
The officer he held onto was nowhere to be found.
Suddenly lifting his head, he heard several cries of agony from within the crowd.
Five figures soared through the air, followed closely by five fists that crashed down heavily.
The fists appeared ordinary, yet enveloped by this Fist Momentum, Beitang Zun felt his heart sinking to the bottom, continuously plummeting!
He would die!
If he collided with any of these five fists, today he would be doomed!
"In my presence, you dare hurt someone?"
Chu Qing’s voice suddenly sounded from behind, a translucent white Gang Qi enveloped the area.
The majestic dragon roar resounded throughout the field.
Everyone witnessed Chu Qing as the core, the icy white Gang Qi enveloping their group entirely.
Beyond the Gang Qi, two white Dragon Form True Qi spiraled intricately.
It appeared remarkably divine, not resembling Martial Arts, but Immortal Technique!
This was precisely Chu Qing utilizing the Cold Jade Lineage Inner Strength from the Nine Chapters of Divine Jade, demonstrating the Undying Golden Body.
In fact, this method had been the same ever since he first acquired the Undying Golden Body at Luochun Manor.
Later at Dingxing City Mountain God Temple, dealing with Guo Wang was but a minor test.
Including his time using the identity of ’Han San’ to publicly slay three master-ranked experts; he utilized the most rudimentary form of the Undying Golden Body.
The Cold Jade Lineage Inner Strength, he never truly needed to exert greatly.
