The Birth of Sword God-Chapter 354 - 314: Even the World’s Protagonist Can Be Killed
The night has fallen, and today’s East and West Continent Competition has concluded.
Due to the large number of participants, even the preliminary rounds need to be divided over three days.
As it is a competition, there are naturally winners and losers, and thus there are those who are happy and those who are worried.
Qin Xuexiao easily won his match in the afternoon, but his heart remained shrouded in gloom.
This Young Master was indeed extremely displeased.
The dog servant did not come out to identify Chu Huaixu, which is the first reason.
After Chu Huaixu emerged from the Emperor’s Pool, no one, whether it was Your Majesty or the two State Preceptors, would divulge what happened inside, clearly unwilling to tell him, which is the second reason.
"What exactly did he do?"
"The four strands of Emperor’s Divine Thought within me suddenly fell into slumber!"
Qin Xuexiao desperately wanted to know the truth.
But no matter how he questioned, the informed refused to speak.
Yet he could see that both his imperial grandfather and Old State Preceptor Ming Xuanji had unpleasant expressions.
Only the Female State Preceptor appeared indifferent, absent-minded, frequently distracted.
Yet it was not difficult to see that her mood was seemingly not bad.
And this Heir of Prince Rui was unaware of how cruel the reason was for these people to hide the truth from him.
Since you are a [vessel], how could they let you know that the Emperor’s Divine Thought has the ability of possession?
More pitiable still is that he had become an abandoned [vessel].
The Ancestor Emperor, upon seeing Chu Huaixu, immediately "had a change of heart" and no longer favored Qin Xuexiao.
But now that possession had failed, it would be difficult to find such a perfect opportunity again in the future.
In this situation, Ming Xuanji and the others clearly understood that Qin Xuexiao, the abandoned option, immediately became the best solution at present.
Many matters naturally still needed to be kept from him.
In fact, Qin Xuexiao also did not know why the Ancestor Emperor wanted him to identify Mu Bingjiu in front of everyone.
Admittedly, he must have wanted to show Chu Huaixu, the former court lapdog, a lesson.
But in the end, Chu Huaixu did not come out of the Emperor’s Pool with the nation’s destiny and the Emperor’s Divine Thought.
This made what he did that day seem like the act of a clown.
Qin Xuexiao actually sensed something amiss, realizing things were not as simple as he thought.
But he could do nothing.
Besides, the friendship between him and Chu Huaixu was never particularly deep.
That fragile relationship had surely completely collapsed.
"The enmity is certainly formed," thought the Heir of Prince Rui.
"However, since he did not obtain the Emperor’s Divine Thought in the Emperor’s Pool, it is ultimately a good thing for me."
"Those four strands of Divine Thought will be mine eventually!"
"Huo Dingyi, you are merely a dog raised by the [organization] since childhood, and yet you think you deserve the Emperor’s relics!"
This thought made him exhale a long sigh of relief.
As for the death of Mu Bingjiu, given his royal upbringing and education, he naturally would not be troubled by it.
In such a vast Moon Country, how many people die every day?
To pledge loyalty, your life is inherently ours.
"I just don’t know how long the Ancestor Emperor will remain asleep."
For him, without the help of the Emperor’s Divine Thought, if he faced Chu Huaixu in the arena, he believed he stood no chance of winning.
To speak of it, the Heir of Prince Rui always had a strange feeling.
Ever since encountering Chu Huaixu, he felt the mysteries around him began to increase.
Many matters began to grow more perplexing and confusing.
"He’s still just a Third Realm, yet even Old State Preceptor seemed to highly value him."
"That day in the Martial Arts Arena, even the [National Guardian] appeared, and only my imperial grandfather could arrange for him."
"This indicates that for the tasks Ancestor Emperor appointed to me, he also had my imperial grandfather participate."
"Despite mobilizing so many forces, they still couldn’t pin down Chu Huaixu’s identity."
"On the Daoist Sect’s side, even the entire East Continent’s side... I guess they’re already disgruntled by now."
The Four Great Sects of the East Continent stand together.
If a major issue truly arises, they absolutely wouldn’t ignore the Daoist Sect and do nothing.
"Moreover, this time, even Sword Venerable and Luo Tian personally came, along with that Jiang Zhi!"
"What are my imperial grandfather and Ancestor Emperor plotting?" Qin Xuexiao only felt a headache.
In fact, Ming Xuanji and the current Moon Emperor were also experiencing a headache over it.
"Out of ten strands of Emperor’s Divine Thought, four were actually lost!"
A hint of worry flashed in Ming Xuanji’s hollow eyes.
"The causation involved here is far greater than him healing Zhong Ming!"
"Chu Huaixu, oh Chu Huaixu, this variable of yours, indeed seems set to turn the world upside down!"
The old blind man only felt the future of the Profound Yellow Realm had veered onto a path he had never foreseen.
"I only have seven years of life left."
But under these circumstances, he couldn’t resist divining once more.
Ming Xuanji fell into a state of conflict.
Once more, those words echoed in his ears.
"I will make you die halfway through divining me."
...
...
The night grew deeper.
Han Shuangjiang and Xu Ziqing stayed by Chu Huaixu’s side all along.
"Why do you keep following me and watching me all the time?" Chu Huaixu felt a bit helpless.
"I’m really okay." He knew they were concerned about him.
The death of Niu Yuanshan made them sad as well.
There’s no helping it—Old Niu was too affable when he was a steward.
Back then, when Chu Huaixu fainted from the pain of practicing the "Refining Sword Formulas," Han Shuangjiang’s first reaction was to find Steward Niu to take a look.
The developments were too sudden, and everything seemed mysterious and unclear.
Yet, Big Ice Cube and Xiaoxu didn’t press him with questions.
She simply listened to Chu Huaixu’s words and then looked at him, saying, "This isn’t like you."
"Hmm?" Chu Huaixu raised his eyes to look at his companion, "What’s not like me?"
"Chu Huaixu, knowing your temperament, I don’t believe you’ll do nothing next." Han Shuangjiang replied.
She stared into his eyes, saying, "I hope whatever you plan to do, you’ll tell us. Whatever you want to do, we are with you."
Xu Ziqing heard and nodded vigorously beside them, though he was rather tongue-tied in these moments, only saying, "Yeah, Senior Brother!"
Chu Huaixu looked at them, thought for a moment, and decided to selectively tell them part of what happened in the Emperor’s Pool.
"Possession!?" The two couldn’t help but exclaim when they heard this.
"But isn’t possession technique known as an evil art only available in the Kunlun Cave Heaven?" Han Shuangjiang said.
Chu Huaixu heard this and let out a cold laugh, "Indeed, who could have thought the Founding Emperor of Moon Country, fearing death, would wholly focus on researching these things and had set things up centuries ago."
"But such actions are intolerable to the righteous path!"
"Moreover, if he wants to possess me, and if anything goes wrong in the process, it wouldn’t just be a loss for my Daoist Sect." Chu Huaixu said calmly.
This wasn’t him boasting about himself.
There’s no helping it; he’s too special.
Just the ability to obliterate a Primordial Spirit is more than special enough!
"Therefore, our ancestor has gone to seek the Sword Venerable and Tianluo."
"Now residing in the Imperial Capital, my safety shouldn’t be too much of an issue."
"After all, combining the strength of these three, is no joke."
"Furthermore, there are quite a few Great Cultivators of the Seventh Realm and Eighth Realm on this trip."
"In this situation, wanting to harm me would require Moon Country to send out a large number of strong cultivators."
"If it happens this way, the situation cannot be resolved."
"At this extent, it’s practically a national war."
"It’s Moon Country openly declaring war on Mirror Country."
"Right now, the world catastrophe is approaching, no one wants to see such a situation emerge, no one wants to witness internal strife at this level, and no one can bear it." Chu Huaixu said.
If it’s said that the Ancestor Emperor succeeds in possession, then this matter might have to be reluctantly accepted.
In the momentum of the world scenario, a generation of unrivaled talents falls, and it cannot be undone; however, another Ninth Realm Great Perfection expert emerges. Truly as the Ancestor Emperor said, at that point, he is the great scheme!
But the problem is...that old thing failed, didn’t he!
This makes Chu Huaixu have no intention of leaving this place of trouble.
This East and West Continent Competition, he still intends to partake.
If Xiaoxu and Big Ice Cube lose, wouldn’t it be like handing over the chance to enter the Origin Spirit Realm?
This isn’t what Chu Huaixu wants to see.
He personally speculates, "Ancestor Emperor might have abandoned Qin Xuexiao in favor of trying to possess me, perhaps also related to my already refined Power of Origin."
After all, this old guy used to be a presence of the Ninth Realm Great Perfection.
He definitely wants to restore his cultivation.
In this way, the Power of Origin is a necessity.
At this moment, Han Shuangjiang looked at Chu Huaixu again and said: "You haven’t said what you plan to do."
She always felt that Chu Huaixu was someone who avenges even the slightest grievance.
He’s always been good to his own.
But if someone intends to harm him, what awaits them will only be a thunderous approach.
"What to do?" Chu Huaixu laughed.
"Then let’s start with Qin Xuexiao."
He said four words plainly in front of the two: "I will kill him."
The simple four words made Han Shuangjiang and Xu Ziqing’s breath catch involuntarily.
In the Moon Country Capital, killing the Crown Prince?
Perhaps, among all the peers in the world, only Chu Huaixu alone has this kind of boldness!
They racked their brains but couldn’t figure out how this matter should be handled.
Just like Chu Huaixu said earlier, as the world catastrophe approaches, everyone prioritizes the overall situation.
Not to mention Jiang Zhi, the absolute killing prodigy, the Sword Venerable and Tianluo absolutely wouldn’t assist Chu Huaixu in doing such things.
"I already have a general plan."
"Whether it’s feasible depends on whether Qin Xuexiao, at that time, is willing to cooperate." Chu Huaixu said calmly.
After saying this, his eyes slightly chilled.
Don’t forget, within him, there are still four strands of the Ancestor Emperor’s Divine Thought; they are something Chu Huaixu must get rid of!
Without the Resurrection Coin, Chu Huaixu would have already died.
They practically already succeeded in killing Chu Huaixu once.
"In the eyes of thousands, to expose both my and Old Niu’s identities, and let Old Niu commit suicide in front of so many citizens of Moon Country."
Then...
When I kill you, it must be in front of ten thousand people!
...
(ps: Sorry, seems like I have the flu; there’s only one update today, everyone take care of your health too.
It’s the last two days of the month, asking for a few monthly tickets.)
