Chapter 85: The Ten-day Deadline, Ji Qing Goes Up The Mountain!
The Jianghu has major events every day.
But recently, the various events triggered by the death of Ye Chunsheng have become the biggest hot topic in the Jianghu.
Following the death of Meteor Sword Ye Chunsheng, then Sword Forging Manor expelling Zhao Jingjing, and now Astonishing Swan Saber Ji Qing sending a challenge letter to Tianshan Sect, only to be rejected by Tianshan Sect.
The Jianghu is surging with wind and clouds, chaotic and restless.
“Tianshan Sect actually rejected Ji Qing’s challenge letter. It seems they want to protect Su Yuxiao.”
“‘North Wind Divine Sword’ is the Sect Leader of Tianshan Sect. He has only one son, Su Yuxiao. If he doesn’t protect him, who will?”
“‘Astonishing Swan Saber’ Ji Qing said in the challenge letter that he will go to Tianshan Sect ten days later. Will he go?”
“Ji Qing always keeps his word. Back then, he chased the killer for a thousand li and killed Poison Demon Ouyang Bo. This time, for Ye Chunsheng, he will definitely go to Tianshan Sect.”
“Ye the Great Hero having such a good friend is worth it! But Tianshan Sect has three first-rate experts. Ji Qing going there this time is probably extremely dangerous, with no return…”
The news is seething, even reaching the hidden sects.
Red Lotus Sect, Mystic Maiden Peak.
At the foot of the towering Mystic Maiden Peak, a “massive” figure of a woman like a meat mountain, still wearing a silk skirt, moved nimbly like a monkey on the mountain path, rushing up the mountain.
Reaching the mountaintop, the woman shouted loudly: “Sixth Senior Sister, the senior brother who went out traveling the Jianghu is back. He told some strange stories from the Jianghu. They say the Jianghu has been very lively recently…”
The woman, like a meat mountain, surprisingly arrived at the mountaintop very nimbly.
And on the mountaintop, there was an even more burly “big meat mountain.”
Her whole body was covered in flesh.
With every step, her whole body trembled.
This is the characteristic of Red Lotus Sect; both men and women are fat like meat mountains.
This is due to Red Lotus Sect’s martial arts, which can also be considered the sect’s unique feature.
“Little Nine, don’t always shout so loudly. You’ll disturb Eldest Senior Sister and Master’s tranquility.”
Lei Yu said without turning her head.
She was still diligently practicing martial arts. As Master said, she was not far from first-rate, and now she was also cultivating the secret manual of Red Lotus Sect’s Mystic Maiden Peak. Unfortunately, after several months, she still hadn’t found the acupoint.
“Sixth Senior Sister, do you want to hear about the Jianghu? They say a lot has happened recently, something about the death of Meteor Sword Ye Chunsheng, triggering a series of turmoils in the Jianghu.”
“Hm?”
Lei Yu, who was originally practicing, stiffened all over.
She turned her head to look at Little Nine: “What did you say? Ye Chunsheng is dead?”
Little Nine opened her big eyes, blinking them rapidly, showing a hint of confusion.
“Yeah, Meteor Sword Ye Chunsheng. I remember it clearly. They say this Ye Chunsheng made a great reputation in the Jianghu at a very young age…”
Lei Yu could no longer hear the words that followed.
She only knew that Ye Chunsheng was dead.
That sincere young man, the boy whose face always carried a smile, was actually dead?
“And then?”
Lei Yu asked.
“And then Astonishing Swan Saber Ji Qing seems to want to kill his way up to Tianshan Sect and sent a challenge letter…”
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intent; Lei Yu’s face changed instantly.
“Third Brother wants to kill his way up to Tianshan Sect? That’s a place with three first-rate experts. Wouldn’t he be seeking death by going?”
Lei Yu was a veteran of the Jianghu; of course she knew about Tianshan Sect.
That was a sect with a resounding reputation in the Jianghu.
Tianshan Sect had three first-rate experts and dozens of second-rate experts.
With such a lineup, Ji Qing charging into Tianshan Sect was no different from sending himself to death.
Even if Ji Qing had saber momentum, the result would be the same.
Lei Yu knew that with Ye Chunsheng dead, Ji Qing’s killing intent had long been boiling.
At this time, no one could persuade Ji Qing.
But she didn’t want to watch Ji Qing go to Tianshan Sect to die.
Moreover, Lei Yu knew very well that she was only a second-rank martial artist. Even if she went to Tianshan Sect, she couldn’t save Ji Qing.
However, there was a first-rank martial artist on Mystic Maiden Peak!
“No matter what, I must invite a first-rate expert. Master is out of the question; the old lady absolutely won’t leave the mountain. But Eldest Senior Sister… there might be hope.”
Lei Yu glanced at Little Nine beside her.
Eldest Senior Sister always doted on Little Nine the most.
If Little Nine went to ask Eldest Senior Sister…
Lei Yu already had a decision in her heart.
“Little Nine, do you want to go travel the Jianghu?”
Little Nine’s eyes lit up: “Of course I want to go, but Master…”
“As long as Eldest Senior Sister agrees, come closer and listen…”
Hearing Lei Yu’s plan, Little Nine’s eyes also lit up.
Thus, the two hurried together toward the great hall of Mystic Maiden Peak.
……
Demon Slayer Family Chen Family!
Although the Demon Slayer Family does not strictly belong to the Jianghu, demon slayers still closely follow Jianghu affairs.
Therefore, Jianghu news also reached the Demon Slayer Family.
Chen Luo had long been released from confinement.
He was cultivating demon extermination technique.
“Seal!”
Chen Luo cut his finger with a dagger, and a drop of bright red blood rose into the air.
As Chen Luo imprinted his hand into the blood, suddenly, this drop of blood emitted a faint golden light.
“Pa.”
The blood dropped to the ground.
Chen Luo sighed: “Sigh, still a bit short. Why is this Seal Character Technique so difficult?”
The more Chen Luo cultivated, the more he felt his own weakness.
Compared to Elder Brother, he still had a long way to go.
Suddenly, Chen Lin rushed over hurriedly and shouted from afar: “Bro, big news. About Third Brother…”
“What could happen to Third Brother? Tell me in detail.”
Chen Luo also stopped cultivating.
Since the last time chasing and killing Blood Demon, he hadn’t gone out again.
Suddenly hearing news about “Third Brother” Ji Qing, Chen Luo naturally wanted to ask clearly.
Chen Lin immediately explained in detail from the death of Ye Chunsheng to Ji Qing sending the challenge letter to Tianshan Sect.
“Third Brother is still too impulsive. Even if he wants revenge, he shouldn’t be so reckless. Tianshan Sect is not an ordinary sect.”
“Tianshan Sect has three first-rate experts, while Third Brother is only a second-rank martial artist. Going to Tianshan Sect would be suicide.”
Chen Luo’s expression flickered uncertainly.
A second-rank martial artist against three first-rate martial artists.
Undoubtedly, it was a death trap!
Although Chen Luo had only met Ji Qing once and they hadn’t spent much time together, he understood Ji Qing’s personality well.
Once Ji Qing decided something, ten oxen couldn’t pull him back.
So, Ji Qing would definitely go to Tianshan Sect!
But Chen Luo absolutely wouldn’t watch Ji Qing go to his death.
Back then, they few had formed a sworn brotherhood. Looking back now, it seemed a bit like child’s play, but since they had sworn brotherhood, Chen Luo was sincere!
“Even if we go to Tianshan Sect, we can’t save Third Brother. Unless Elder Brother steps in…”
Chen Luo knew very well that Elder Brother was the most outstanding demon slayer of the Chen Family’s younger generation.
His strength was comparable to a first-rate expert in the Jianghu.
If he wanted to save Ji Qing, he definitely needed Elder Brother to step in.
“Bro, Elder Brother has always wanted to research Blood Demon, and we know quite a bit about Blood Demon…”
Chen Luo gritted his teeth, seemingly having made up his mind.
“Let’s go find Elder Brother!”
The two quickly headed toward Elder Brother’s residence.
……
Tianshan Sect, at the foot of the mountain.
A figure looked up at the mountaintop.
Black clothes, conical hat, long saber, and a head of strange white hair!
“The ten-day period has arrived. Time to go up the mountain!”
Ji Qing stepped firmly toward the mountaintop, one step at a time.
