Chapter 1169: Gongsun Dies, Sword Furnace Shocks
Chapter 1169: Gongsun Dies, Sword Furnace Shocks
The sound of wind and rain, accompanied by the sound of rainwater hitting the press, echoed in the quiet hall.
It served as a foil to Xu Qing's voice, further highlighting the majesty in his words.
It was especially so when the lightning streaked across the sky and illuminated the ground. It also shone into the hall and onto Xu Qing's towering figure.
His shadow ā¦ appeared. It was very long and completely enveloped Gongsun Qingmu's body.
It became pressure!
The entire area was suppressed.
Gongsun Qingmu's heart trembled, and he instantly turned serious.
Under this pressure, he slowly raised his head and stared at the young master in front of him.
The other party's arrival was beyond his expectations. He had thought that many people would appear tonight, but he had never thought that it would be the Young Master who usually did not show any unusual behavior.
The other party's words were like sharp blades that pierced into his mind and didn't dissipate for a long time.
As a result, countless thoughts surged in his mind and eventually turned into a hoarse voice.
"Young Master, I don't quite understand what you're saying."
The moment he spoke, a dangerous glint appeared in his eyes as he locked his gaze on the person before him.
"You don't understand?"
Xu Qing's gaze was calm. He did not care about the dangerous look in Gongsun Qingmu's eyes at all.
"Gongsun Qingmu, you have received a secret order from Young Master Aurora, so you can act at your own discretion. Everything you have done before and after has a reason, and everything you do has a foundation." I will give you a mission for all of your rebellious actions. "
"You leaked the secrets of the Divine Palace because I asked you to do it on purpose. The purpose was to draw out all the hidden enemies!"
"You stole the treasures of the immortal palace because I asked you to do so. My purpose was to test the defenses of the immortal palace."
"Even if you go on a killing spree in the Immortal Palace, I can still find a reason for you."
"So, do you want to try?"
Hearing this, Gongsun Qingmu's body trembled, and his expression instantly turned ugly.
To him, this move was like a fatal blow.
This basically made his rebellion lose its foundation.
After all ā¦ Young Master Aurora's personal testimony was the most direct evidence in many cases!
As such, none of his actions could be considered treason!
At the same time, the unimaginable conjecture that the Young Master in front of him was an outsider also rose in his heart, turning into a storm that rumbled in his mind.
The pressure from Xu Qing didn't end there. Xu Qing leaned forward and looked into Gongsun Qingmu's eyes.
"In front of me, your betrayal is meritorious service."
"And if I say that you have rendered meritorious service, then your betrayal will not work!"
'If this was ten thousand years, I might not have time to waste. But the world in the fourth level only has a few days left.'
"In the next few days, tell me ā¦ will I be able to make your previous betrayal, your current betrayal, and your future betrayal all fail?"
As Xu Qing's words entered Gongsun Qingmu's mind, the dangerous feeling in his aura grew even stronger.
Behind him, the space distorted. In a blur, an iron sword containing a terrifying aura slowly took shape. The sword intent seemed like it could explode at any moment.
Xu Qing's expression was calm. He was still completely unconcerned about Gongsun Qingmu's aura and the fact that he was about to attack at any moment. He merely shifted his gaze away from the other party and looked at the broken sword.
"You want to assassinate me and then betray me?"
"Unless you have the ability to kill me in an instant, otherwise ā¦ this is merely a trick I gave you."
"Of course, in order to protect you, I will give the order to imprison you until the wedding calamity arrives."
"Therefore, whether or not your betrayal will work will depend on whether or not I allow it."
Xu Qing said calmly.
Gongsun Qingmu's face was gloomy, and he didn't say a word.
An oppressive feeling continued to spread in his heart until it finally turned into a hoarse voice.
"Young Master, you didn't come here just to say this, did you?"
At that moment, the outside world was filled with thunder and lightning. Xu Qing raised his hand and grabbed at the iron sword that Gongsun Qingmu had conjured behind him.
Gongsun Qingmu hesitated for a moment, but he didn't stop him.
Therefore, the sword shot toward Xu Qing, who caught it between two fingers of his right hand.
After a careful examination, his voice echoed out amidst the echoes of the thunder outside. It was as if his voice contained the will of thunder.
"If this sword is stained with my blood, and I personally testify against you for the assassination ā¦ Tell me, isn't this the biggest betrayal in the Immortal Palace other than the murder of the Immortal Master?"
"Assassinating the Young Master's betrayal should be beneficial to you."
With that, Xu Qing's finger slid across the blade of the sword. A drop of blood flowed out from the wound and landed on the sword, causing it to hum.
He was obviously excited.
Moreover, the ripples in space rumbled at this moment, and they were even more intense than before.
However, it was just an illusion and didn't succeed. He still needed ā¦ permission and verification.
However, to Gongsun Qingmu, his mind was also in turmoil. He could sense the intensity of the betrayal, and he could also sense the enormous benefits it would bring him if he succeeded.
His breathing quickened as he looked at Xu Qing.
"This is the betrayal I prepared for you. Originally, I could have let you stay behind while betraying me."
"But you took the wrong path."
Xu Qing stared coldly at Gongsun Qingmu.
Gongsun Qingmu was silent. He naturally knew what the other party meant by taking the wrong path.
It was his act of reclaiming his beautiful fox personality.--
However, he felt helpless in his heart. After all, who would've thought that the identity that was impossible to obtain would actually be obtained by someone else?
He already understood that the person in front of him was an outsider. Furthermore, he also understood that the chances of success of the Xing Huanzi ā¦ were very slim.
Therefore, he decisively stood up without hesitation and bowed deeply to Xu Qing.
"Young Master, how should I make it up to you?"
Xu Qing raised his hand and threw the pill bottle containing Li Mengtu's poison over.
Then, he took out the decree jade scroll and imprinted it with his Divine Will.
"Gongsun Qingmu of the Thunder Punishment Palace colluded with foreign enemies, betrayed the Immortal Palace, and tried to assassinate me. Zhong Chi used his own poison to protect you, so Gongsun Qingmu's assassination failed, and he poisoned Gongsun to death!"
"However, Gongsun Qingmu has been preparing for years. He has left a doppelgƤnger in the outside world. Therefore, he has issued an arrest warrant for Gongsun Qingmu!"
After he finished inscribing the decree, Xu Qing let go of the blood-stained sword and let it return to him. He then walked out without looking at Gongsun Qingmu again.
As for Gongsun Qingmu's next choice ā¦ he had no choice.
Thus, when Xu Qing walked out of the palace and stepped into the wind and rain, Gongsun Qingmu, who was in the palace behind him, let out a long sigh. With complicated emotions in his eyes, he swallowed the poison in his hand.
Indeed, he had no choice.
Faced with the identity of the Young Master, if he didn't comply, the other party would have many ways to make him fail.
Even if it was the disciple's betrayal, even if the Fourth True Lord said it personally, if the Young Master wanted to ā¦
He could also turn the tables in an instant.
Because of that, it was simply impossible for him to fight back.
Therefore, this was the only path before him.
As the venom spread, Gongsun Qingmu's body trembled, and his face gradually turned black.
This poison was originally created by Li Mengtu, and it had been strengthened by Xu Qing, so its power was astonishing. Furthermore, Gongsun Qingmu had given up on resisting and saving himself.
Therefore, the eruption was extremely smooth and swift.
After a moment, when Xu Qing's figure completely disappeared into the wind and rain, lightning flashed. Gongsun Qingmu, who had been meditating in the palace, lowered his head heavily.
He was dead!
Death of Dao and disappearance of the spirit!
As for Xie Lingzi's consciousness, it was also driven out of this fourth level world in an instant!
Just as Xu Qing had said, he could have continued to stay, but he had chosen the wrong path, so he could only swallow the poison.
And the moment he died ā¦
Two space-time ripples had reached large success in this immortal palace!
Space rumbled as it transformed into a storm that shook the surroundings.
Generally speaking, what happened here was Gongsun Qingmu's assassination attempt. That was how things were set in stone.
Thus, a vast wave appeared.
The other was with Zhong Chi.
The decree that Xu Qing had left behind for Zhong Chi had become a closed loop at this moment!
The protection was a success!
As a result, the space-time storm became even more intense, turning into a vortex. It was like a flower of space-time, blooming resplendently in this stormy night.
Xu Qing strode forward within the vortex at the stamen.
The direction he was heading towards was where Qian Jun Bi Yi was ā¦ the Sword Furnace!
That was Xu Qing's last destination tonight!
As he approached, space-time ripples appeared one after another. Everyone's energy fluctuations erupted in different degrees.
Finally, Li Tianjiao's space-time ripples surged. The space-time transformation was complete!
Xu Qing turned his head and looked into the distance.
"Li Tianjiao's arm is broken."
Vast quantities of Spacetime Sand began to form around Xu Qing, with him at the center. They shone with dazzling light, causing Xu Qing's figure to appear illusory.
Xu Qing retracted his gaze and continued forward.
It was as if he was walking through time. Step by step, he arrived at the Sword Furnace and saw it!
The sword furnace stood in the middle of the array. It was completely black and emitted an indescribable might.
There was more lightning here than in other places. Bolts of lightning were like heavenly tribulation, continuously descending and smashing onto the sword furnace.
Every time it struck, it would form countless arcs of electricity, some of which would scatter outwards like a waterfall.
From afar, this scene could be said to be vast and incomparably mysterious.
The array formation on the ground was drowned by electric arcs, making it look like a pool of lightning.
There was even a sharp sword qi that exploded within the sword furnace, as if it was about to transform and break out of its cocoon!
"Compared to the others, your method of concealment is both simple and extraordinary. You're actually residing in the sword embryo."
"If it weren't for the many waves during this period of time, it wouldn't have been easy to find you."
"What's even more interesting is that the two of you are actually taking advantage of this opportunity to be born in advance."
Staring at the sword furnace, Xu Qing said indifferently.
His voice entered the sword furnace, causing Qian Jun and Bi Yi to tremble. What shocked them even more was what Xu Qing said next.
"That's good too. It'll be easier for you to recognize me as your master!"
At the same time, when Qian Jun Pi Yi's mind was about to explode because of the two words 'Recognize the Master', in the distant sky, lightning streaked across the blue dome of heaven like a silver snake.
Amidst the countless bolts of lightning, the Fourth True Lord's figure transformed into a streak of light that whistled towards the Sword Furnace.
In the lightning, his face was gloomy, and the killing intent in his eyes had reached its peak!
