Martial Boss Chapter 204

“Chen Qinglin?”

Qingxu frowned, he could tell that this captive senior brother appeared to be dying, but in reality, he was merely starved, physically, and had not received any injuries.

This begged the question, had Gong Zi Yu invited Chen Qinglin here to have tea? After drinking tea, he had to send someone to inform his family to come and claim it.

Qingxu had already attributed that message of unknown origin to the Green Dragon Society.

“Where is Qingzhou? Go and find him!”

Qingxu suddenly thought of the other master disciple who had been taken captive, the one who was his beloved. Qingzhou was no match for a Chen Qinglin in Qingxu’s heart. The former was a powerful general, the latter was just a fop.

It was good to be able to make good friends, but it didn’t matter if you couldn’t. There is no one in the True Martial Arts Sect who can compare with Qingxu, and the position of subordinate leader is as secure as a mountain.

However, no matter how much the crowd searched, there was no sign of Qingzhou. He had long since been turned into a puddle of yellow water by Qing Yu’s men with corpse-transforming water and washed into the river, making it harder than ever to find him.

But Qingxu still refused to give up and turned the entire cave stronghold upside down. The result is naturally still not found, not only Qingzhou, but also Gongzi Yu, there is no trace of it.

Well —— there were still traces of Gong Zi Yu, a large pile of food bones left in the cave’s secret room.

Finally, Qingxu gave up looking and the group returned again to the cell where Chen Qinglin was. At that moment, Chen Qinglin was still as motionless as before, spread out on the floor, and if he hadn’t been breathing, the others would have thought he was a dead body.

“Where is Qingzhou?” With no luck, Qingxu raised his eyebrows and asked Chen Qinglin in a loud voice.

However, Chen Qinglin was in such a state, how could he have the strength to answer Qingxu’s question.

Seeing this, Qing Xu was even more enraged by the fire of ignorance.

“Senior Nephew Qingxu, calm down! Calm down!” Xuan Wen hurriedly advised.

Hearing the reminder, Qing Xu also realised that he had been a little dazed by the matter of Gong Zi Yu and Qing Zhou, and immediately secretly suppressed the anger in his heart and regained his calmness, “Sorry, everyone, Qing Xu has just entered the divine origin and his mind is unstable, so he lost his temper just now. Forgive me!”

“I dare not, I dare not!”

“Senior brother also has some hardships ——”

——

The people present were either Qingxu’s senior disciples or ordinary elders like Xuanwen, who were not as high as Qingxu, all of them made excuses for Qingxu in succession.

“Senior brother Qingzhou might have been killed. Fortunately, we still managed to save senior brother Qinglin, so let’s take senior brother with us and let’s go back to the sect.”

After saying this, Qingxu waved his sleeve and left.

The rest of the group looked at Chen Qinglin and were all a bit at a loss for words. Qingzhou was afraid that he was already dead, Gong Zi Yu had already killed several True Martial Sect disciples and had completely offended the True Martial Sect, there was no way he would still be merciful enough to keep Qingzhou.

In this case, Chen Qinglin’s survival would have been justified. Why did Gong Zi Yu keep Chen Qinglin when he had killed Qingzhou, and looking at Chen Qinglin, he hadn’t suffered much damage either.

Many people had already come to a conclusion in their minds about Chen Qinglin’s survival. This Chen Qinglin, in all likelihood, had ——

In the end, it was Xuan Wen who ordered two disciples, one to carry Chen Qinglin on his back and the other, to look after him along the way.

——————

“The Shadow King has agreed to your request.”

Meng Yunfei’s reply came quickly. In just two days, he had an appointment with Qing Yu here. This time, Qing Yu still went to meet Meng Yunfei with the face of Liu Xuande.

“However, before handing you the ‘Guilloche Jade Crystal’, you have to prove to me that Gongzi Yu is really a young man with potential, and not an older middle-aged man or a bad old man.”

With that, Meng Yunfei stared intently at Qing Yu’s face, as if asking him to make a proof right away.

“It seems that you already have la guess.” Qing Yu smiled faintly and raised his sleeve with one hand, brushing it across his face.

When his face was revealed again, it was a different face.

“Sure enough, you are Gong Zi Yu. The scholar who left Shanhe Academy four months ago under the name of seeking medical treatment – Meng De.” Meng Yunfei had a look of realization on his face.

“I wonder where did Meng reveal a flaw that caused Master Meng to guess Meng’s true identity.” Qing Yu said with a smile.

“I’m afraid Lord Meng has forgotten that when you were at Linchuan Mansion earlier, you were travelling with Sixth Sect’s Luo Yan and Bu Lengchuan, and they had always called you Brother Meng. It was also the three of you who combined your efforts to kill Lin Fujiwon, which is why I guessed that Gongzi Yu’s surname was Meng.”

“Although you separated the two identities of Meng De and Liu Xuan De, but combined with who profited from entering the Northern Zhou with my Shadow House, and who were the young men with the surname Meng who had dealings with the Northern Saturday Emperor, in a bold a*sumption, it was not difficult to guess who was Gong Zi Yu.”

“But Meng mou blundered.” Qing Yu was all smiles, not a trace of chagrin that his identity had been revealed.

He indeed did not need to be chagrined, for the fact that Qing Yu’s core identity had still not been revealed to date was enough.

“Since Mister Meng has already made proof, then Master Meng, can you hand over the ‘Xuan Gui Jade Crystal’ to Mister Meng.”

“Naturally.” Meng Yunfei put on a solemn look as he took out a brocade box from his pocket and held it up with both hands in front of Qing Yu, “This, is the ‘Xuan Gui Jade Crystal’.”

Meng Yunfei opened the brocade box and saw a crystal-clear, irregular crystal with an almost soft white light glittering in the red silk lining.

“This, is the ‘Xuan Gui Jade Crystal’ ——”

Ever since Meng Yunfei opened the brocade box, Qing Yu’s ‘Celestial Transmutation Method’, which was extremely sensitive to the energy of heaven and earth, began to run faster unconsciously. The spiritual sense interfaced with this crystal and only felt that it contained countless pure spiritual qi within. These spiritual qi could allow Qing Yu to use it to the ninth level of the innate sky and more.

“‘Xuangui Jade Crystal’, hand it over to you.” Meng Yunfei covered the box and handed it over to Qing Yu.

“In addition, the Shadow King attaches great importance to Meng Gongzi, and in the past, the master smith of Sword God Lake, Gongye Baiwu, has promised to forge a good sword for Meng Gongzi, at that time, Meng Gongzi can go to Hongzhou Tianmelt Mountain to seek out Master Gongye to forge a sword for you.”

The succession of good gifts really made Qing Yu’s eyes a little dazzled. However, to eat as much as one can, one must work as much as one can. Qing Yu was not dazzled by the generous gifts, “What is the price for such a generous gift, Mr. Meng?”

“It’s not a price,” Meng Yunfei shook his head, “it’s a gift to you, but to the Shadow King it’s just a small investment, a small payment, nothing to lose, but a huge gain if you succeed. You only need to owe a personal favour.”

“It’s hard to repay a debt of gratitude, so I might be the one who loses out.”

Qing Yu laughed loudly, “But now I am the one who is making a huge profit. The Shadow King is not afraid of losing money, so what am I afraid of as a small person.”

“After the Green Dragon Society accepts the order, the mission will be completed within seven days. After seven days, I will send Xie Lang’s head.”
