The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 522
Chapter 522 Leave The Stronghold
Three days later, the White Lotus Sect’s Fifth Saint Emissary was about to leave the Heavenly Crossing Stronghold, and the news immediately caused a huge commotion.
Countless ordinary people bowed to the ground and thanked the White Lotus Sacred Envoy, crying bitterly and begging them not to leave.
In these three days, Li Qing had seen the White Lotus Sect’s methods. He was indeed very good at recruiting people. In a short period of time, he had made so many people give up.
Patriarch Lanxin turned around and emitted a holy light. He said gently, “The holy light of the white lotus shrouds the world and spreads to every corner. Wherever you are, you can feel the light of the other side. Although I will leave, the messenger of the white lotus will be with you…”
She said a lot in a carefree manner. Anyway, she was talking about saving the world, saving the suffering, and so on. Hearing this made Li Qing feel dizzy and confused. She almost fell to the ground.
“This is the power of words. A lotus flower with a dazzling tongue can be said to be alive even if it is about to die.” Cold sweat broke out on Li Qing’s body.
By the time Patriarch Lanxin finished speaking, half an hour had passed. The people below were crying even harder, as if they were even more sad than when their parents left. All of them wished to dedicate all their strength to the White Lotus Sect, including their own lives.
“There are many mortals in this world, and many mortals are fools. Only the stronger the person, the stronger the will of martial arts, and the sober-minded he will be.” Li Qing sighed.
He was unable to change this situation. Most of the people in this world were ordinary people. They had never cultivated martial arts or had no chance to cultivate. This meant that they were destined to be at an absolute disadvantage in this world where martial power was prized.
Want everyone to be like a dragon? This is an impossible wish. Perhaps all he could do was try his best to eradicate evil organizations like the White Lotus Sect.
“Let’s go!” Patriarch Lanxin gave birth to lotuses step by step and left like an immortal with many White Lotus Sect disciples, not leaving a trace of fireworks in the mortal world.
…
From the west of Hengtian Stronghold was the territory of Qingzhou. Two-thirds of it was the territory of Great Wei, and the remaining one-third was the territory of Chu.
Now that the Wei and Zhao countries had launched a war of annihilation against the Chu Kingdom, from the front, back, left, and right, the smoke of gunpowder rose up everywhere, and most of the Qing Province had fallen into the flames of war. Naturally, they had no time to care about the White Lotus Religions passing by, and they had been safe and sound along the way.
Occasionally, when they passed through the battlefield, they would hear shouts of killing from afar. Two waves of troops were colliding violently. The rolling flow of people was like waves that collided with rocks, causing splashes of water to splatter everywhere. The situation was extremely tragic.
The corpses were everywhere, and fresh blood stained the earth red. A fierce aura pervaded the heavens and the earth, and the clouds in the sky were gloomy.
“You guys should have a firm chance of winning this war, right?” Li Qing asked.
“Almost, since we seized the Heavenly Stronghold, the Chu Kingdom has lost its way of retreat. However, it was not as easy as he had imagined. Although the four earliest legions of the Chu Kingdom had already died in name, Lin Changfeng had already begun to rebuild the army. If Lin Changfeng hadn’t been killed by the Emperor of Chu, even if we were able to take down Chu, we would still have suffered heavy losses. ”
“Did you kill Lin Changfeng with your counter-plot?”
‘”If I say no, do you believe me?” Patriarch Lanxin said in a strange tone.
“If it wasn’t you, then who would it be?”
“Of course, the Emperor of the State of Chu killed himself. It has nothing to do with us. The White Lotus Sect has no intention of provoking a war, so how could they do such a thing that goes against the doctrine?”
“Wasn’t it you who started this war? You also participated in the Heavenly Crossing Stronghold.” Li Qing felt puzzled.
“The dynasty’s struggle for hegemony is the norm in this world. The White Lotus Sect cannot stop it, so we can only participate in this war and kill as little as possible. Everything we do is for the sake of the world!”
Li Qing curled his lips. This sounded good, but who would believe it? It was just a lie to ordinary people.
“As expected, they are all a bunch of lunatics. They are clearly doing something bad, but they feel that they are saving the world. This logical thinking is truly unreasonable.”
Patriarch Lanxin said, “Our White Lotus Sect also admires Lin Changfeng. We wanted to persuade him to join the White Lotus Sect, but unfortunately, he is very stubborn and persistent. As for why the Emperor of the State of Chu wanted to kill him, it is because a mysterious Imperial Teacher has appeared in recent years.”
“State Teacher? Where did he come from?”
“We don’t know much about this person’s origin. We can’t find any clues. We only know that this person suddenly appeared in Qing Prefecture and quickly gained King Chu’s trust. He was conferred the title of Grand Chu State Master.”
“Isn’t this too hasty?” Li Qing was also speechless.
“This Grand State Master Chu is actually an extremely powerful alchemist. He cured King Chu’s hidden illness with some kind of miraculous pill, so he can gain King Chu’s trust.”
“What kind of hidden illness does King Chu have?” Li Qing asked.
“No offspring, and long-term illness.”
“Isn’t King Chu a Xiantian eighth layer expert? Why is he so weak and sickly?” Li Qing found it quite unbelievable. Unless a Xiantian expert was injured, his body would only weaken. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be sick.
“This is because someone poisoned King Chu. There were spies around him, and he was found out by the Great Chu State Master. He solved this matter perfectly, so he was given a high position! This is also the reason why Lin Changfeng was executed by King Chu.”
“I understand. It was the Imperial Teacher who planted this matter in the limelight of Chief Lin. Naturally, it caused King Chu to be extremely furious. Kill him quickly!” Li Qing suddenly understood.
After all, even the spy who had poisoned him had been found out by the Imperial Teacher. Of course, the evidence was conclusive, so King Chu couldn’t help but believe it.
Under normal circumstances, he might not be able to get rid of Lin Changfeng. However, this King Chu was an extremely unconscious emperor, so it was not surprising that he did such an absurd thing.
“Exactly who did this? Since it’s not the White Lotus Sect, could it be Zhao Wei and the other two countries?”
“I’m not too sure either.” Patriarch Lanxin shook his head. Obviously, he didn’t want to say anything more on this matter. “There’s a city ahead. Let’s go in and rest.”
At night.
Li Qing found an opportunity to sneak out of the inn and arrive at a secret place. He saw Yin Qianyu who had been waiting for a long time.
As soon as they met, Yin Qianyu asked, “Are you really going to enter the White Lotus Sect? This kind of thing is so dangerous, why are you so crazy?”
“What do I want to do? This seems to be my freedom, right?” Li Qing said indifferently.
“You fellow, our Myriad Devil Sect has helped you so much, yet you don’t have the slightest bit of gratitude?”
After a moment of silence, Li Qing said, “I will naturally remember the favor of the Myriad Devil Sect. You don’t have to worry about me dying inside. Even if there really is any danger, it’s fine to protect yourself.”
“You’re such a madman. In order to save a woman, you don’t even want to die.” Yin Qianyu cursed inwardly.
“Have you found all the information I asked you to gather?” Li Qing asked.
Yin Qianyu took out a small pamphlet and handed it over, “It’s all inside. Take it and read it slowly.”
Li Qing took it over and carefully flipped through it for a while. He nodded and said, “The content is very detailed. I have a few more chances.”
Immediately after, he took out Yin-yang Chaos Bottle and released a person from within. It was Lin Tianhao.
“This is?” Lin Tianhao looked around.
“We have already left the Heavenly Stronghold. You are temporarily safe now. You can leave at any time.” Li Qing smiled.
“Thank you, Senior, for your kindness.” Lin Tianhao knelt on the ground.
“Who is this?” Yin Qianyu was slightly dissatisfied. This was the secret stronghold of the Myriad Devil Sect. Li Qing had just let out a stranger. If she accidentally leaked this place, she would not be able to bear the loss.
Seemingly sensing her thoughts, Li Qing introduced, “This person is Lin Changfeng’s grandson. He is loyal and upright. You don’t need to worry about revealing the secret.”
“So it’s him!” Yin Qianyu’s eyes lit up.
Li Qing said, “My avatar is now useless. Please send him out of the city and try your best to protect his safety.”
“No problem!” Yin Qianyu actually answered.
“So straightforward? Could it be that you’re thinking something wrong?” Li Qing was a little suspicious.
“What kind of thoughts can I have? Don’t you believe me to this extent?” Yin Qianyu pretended to be crying.
Li Qing curled his lips. He wouldn’t take such a trick. He turned around and said to Lin Tianhao, “I have something to do now. I can’t go along with you. I can only say goodbye. Just go out of the city with this girl. She will protect you.”
Lin Tianhao took a deep breath and bowed three more times to Li Qing. He said gratefully, “Although Senior doesn’t want to accept me as his disciple, this junior still feels deeply grateful for teaching me. I treat you like my master. Please accept my disciple’s three bows!”
Li Qing helped him up and smiled, “Actually, I don’t have the experience to accept disciples, so I don’t dare to mislead others easily. However, since you insist on doing so, I’ll accept you as a nominal disciple first. If we meet again in the future, then it won’t be too late to argue.”
“Thank you, Master!” Lin Tianhao was overjoyed.
“I can’t stay outside for too long. Otherwise, Patriarch Lanxin will become suspicious. Let’s say goodbye. Work hard on your own cultivation and strive to reach your grandfather’s realm.”
After Li Qing left, there were only two people left in the room. Seeing Yin Qianyu’s beauty and figure, Lin Tianhao couldn’t help but feel his face turning red. He nervously asked, “Are we leaving the city now?”
Yin Qianyu smiled faintly, “What’s the hurry? You are Lin Changfeng’s grandson. You really are dignified. Speaking of which, Lin Changfeng was killed by King Chu. Do you want to avenge him?”
“Yes! Even in my dreams! But the fall of Chu is imminent. I’m afraid I won’t have the chance to personally kill the enemy.”
“Now I have a chance to put it in front of you. It depends on whether you have the courage or not!” Yin Qianyu’s tone was filled with charm.
