The meeting place with the Shadow King was naturally the same as the small building in the woods.
Since it was said to be a “quick visit”, Qing Yu took the white phoenix and arrived at the small building in the woods without stopping for a moment.
“Greetings, Shadow King.” Qing Yu said with a bow.
“Qing Yu, do you want revenge?” The Shadow King, whose back was turned to Qing Yu, looked out of the window and said.
Revenge?
Uh —— countless question marks suddenly surfaced in Qing Yu’s mind.
Did he have enemies?
It seems that there are. The late ‘Wind Chaser’ of Department Six, Lu Qifeng, was Qing Yu’s enemy. But Lu Qifeng was killed by Qing Yu in the Linchuan Mansion, and his body was turned into flying ashes, truly bruised and dead.
As for the rest, I don’t think so. Qing Yu has always been kind to people and rarely holds grudges against others. On the contrary, there were many people who disregarded Qing Yu’s kindness and constantly made enemies of Qing Yu, hating to break him into pieces and cut him to pieces with a thousand cuts.
“Do you want to take revenge for your master Xuan Fa?” The Shadow King continued to ask.
‘Xuan Fa?’ A sense of realization dawned on Qing Yu.
If not for the Shadow King mentioning Xuan Fa, Qing Yu would have forgotten about this cheap master. Qing Yu had only met Xuan Fa twice in total, and after that, Qing Yu had not even seen Xuan Fa’s remains.
To say that there was any affection, naturally there was none. Even though Xuan Fa had taken Qing Yu as his disciple, allowing him to break away from the ranks of beggars and not need to take the Stone Breaker route, there was still a lot of trouble Xuan Fa had left for Qing Yu.
For so many years, it was also Qing Yu who was left hanging. If other little beggars had been accepted as disciples by Xuan Fa, the gra*s would be several feet high in their graves by now.
However, since the Shadow King mentioned the so-called master’s grudge, with Qing Yu’s city spirit, he naturally guessed the intention of the Shadow King’s words.
“Your Majesty wants to deal with the True Martial Sect?” Qing Yu said bluntly.
“True Martial Sect and this king are destined to be mortal enemies, so naturally this king wants to deal with him.”
The Shadow King turned and looked at Qing Yu, “Qing Yu, do you know why Xuan Guang betrayed the King back then, yet the King did not send him out, but instead sent him to Qingzhou to establish the Shadow Market in the name of rea*signment?”
‘Of course it’s because you have a deal.’ Qing Yu said in his mind.
With the Shadow King’s skills, it was still easy to kill a True Dan realm Xuan Guang. Even if the Shadow King didn’t do anything himself, he had enough Tong Shen realms under him to serve him.
For example, no one in the jianghu knew that Kong Hangkong, who destroyed the Nirvana Festival last time, was one of the Shadow King’s men. If it wasn’t for that time when Kong Hangkong sabotaged the Nirvana Festival, Qing Yu would have had no way of a*sociating this legendary Heaven-level Sh*t-stirrer with the mysterious and unpredictable Shadow Tower.
It was because Xuan Guang had been able to live, and must have given a price that would keep him alive. But what that price was, Qing Yu was unable to guess.
“Please be explicit, Your Majesty.” Qing Yu said.
“It is simple, Xuan Guang has given a condition that this king cannot refuse.”
The Shadow King flicked his right hand in front of his body, and a stream of light flew out from the Shadow King’s sleeve and hung in front of him.
It was twenty-one inches and three minutes long, ancient in style and with a sense of being purely natural, with the two qi of yin and yang differentiated on its frame, with a reversion to Wuji, and the scabbard was unmarked and pitch black, as if it was one with the hilt.
“The True Martial Sword!”
Qing Yu had never seen the True Martial Sword before, but when he saw this ancient sword with yin and yang divided and reverting back to Wuji, he immediately thought of the lost divine sword of the True Martial Sect.
“Not bad, it is none other than the True Martial Sword.” The Shadow King raised his hand and flicked it from the sword, “It was with this sword that Xuan Guang bought back his life with a chance to take control of the True Martial Sect.”
‘Sure enough, the True Martial Sword is in Xuan Guang’s hands.’ Qing Yu said secretly in his heart.
If Xuan Fa had anticipated his own failure back then, he wouldn’t have had only Qing Yu left behind after the death of one of his disciples. Since he was not prepared for failure, it was natural that he would not have hidden the True Martial Sword so tightly beforehand that no one would have discovered it for so many years.
“But with the True Martial Sword, it can’t control the True Martial Sect. Although it is the divine sword of the Zhenwu Sect, the True Martial Sect is not so confused that a person can ascend to the position of Sect Leader just by getting the True Martial Sword.” Qing Yu said.
The three old men of the True Martial Sect, who were in seclusion at the back of the mountain, had to approve of the sword.
Although the True Martial Sword is a symbol of the Sect Leader, it is ultimately the Sect Leader that matters. It is a symbol of the Sect Leader, it is not the Sect Leader.
“The matter of qualification, this king thinks that with your scheming mind, you have some plans in mind.”
The Shadow King smiled faintly and said, “You have tried in every possible way not to make your true identity related to Gong Zi Yu, if you say you have no thoughts about the True Martial Sect, this king will never believe it.”
“After all, the Shadow King has a torch-like vision.” Qing Yu confessed.
Qing Yu had been protecting his true identity, and naturally, he had a plan. He didn’t just have thoughts about the True Martial Sect, but even more so, he already had a definite plan.
Only when he reached the Tong Shen realm, Qing Yu could begin to make his move and implement his plan to seize the True Martial Sect. It was just that he had never mentioned this to anyone, but Qing Yu had never expected that the Shadow King would see through his plan.
But on second thought, it was just a matter of elimination. As long as all impossibilities were eliminated, the rest was a certainty.
The Shadow King only needed to eliminate all the rest, and then he could naturally pinpoint Qing Yu’s target.
That’s why the Shadow King called Qing Yu to come this time.
However ——
“The king wouldn’t want me to steal Xuan Chen’s position now, would he? I’ve only just achieved True Dan now, not to mention Xuan Chen, I’m not sure I can beat any of the Seven Peaks of True Martial Arts, or even some of the True Dan realm elders who are in seclusion. If you want me to reveal my identity now, Your Majesty is afraid that you will have to go home disappointed.” Qing Yu said helplessly.
Although it was not necessary to rely on force to bring down Xuan Chen, it was not possible to do so without force.
Without sufficient strength, it would not have been Qing Yu’s turn to take the throne if he had taken down Xuan Chen. What’s more, even if Xuan Chen, who is at the Godlike realm, is brought down, he will only have to go behind closed doors at most.
The God Realm is the most important pillar, no matter what power it is. There are very few people like Feng Tianming who would use their own God-Realm powerhouse to fight for a breakthrough.
As a Tong Shen realm powerhouse, Xuan Chen would not have been punished in any way even if he had stepped down from the position of Sect Leader if he had not been overwhelmed by his strength.
On the contrary, the True Martial Sect would still offer him up in good grace.
After all, a Tong Shen realm that was still alive was undoubtedly a more valuable person than a dead Xuan Fa.
“Naturally it won’t be something like this that calls you to your death,” the Shadow King flicked his sleeve and put away the True Martial Sword, “Although I didn’t expect you to progress in strength so quickly and already be able to escape with your life from Xiao Qianxiu of the Tong Shen realm, this king doesn’t intend to let you fight Xuan Chen head-on hard right now.
The purpose of displaying the True Martial Sword is to let you know that the King has your back. And this time, I have summoned you here for other matters.”
