Martial Boss Chapter 517

“Back then, Xuan Fa and Xuan Chen fought against each other. Xuan Chen ended up becoming the victor through Xuan Guang. In fact, my king has never cared how Xuan Guang was bought off, after all, he himself is a villain who only looks at immediate benefits.

But yesterday, the King received a letter from Xuan Guang.”

After putting away the True Martial Sword, the Shadow King slowly paced a few steps to the side, picked up the teapot on the coffee table to the side, poured a cup of tea and said.

“It seems that the point is what benefits Xuan Chen used to bribe Xuan Guang.”

“Indeed, your guess was accurate,” the Shadow King took a slight sip, “In the forbidden land of the True Martial Sect, there is a jade jade jade named ‘True Martial Jade Jade’. Every hundred years, when the Great Formation is recharged, the descendants will be able to connect their minds to the jade jade jade jade jade, and perceive the life of the most powerful person who once reached the top of the Tong Shen realm.”

‘It’s similar to the system’s sense transmission.’ Qing Yu thought to himself.

“Is this how Xuan Chen bribed Xuan Guang?”

“That’s exactly it, thanks to the True Martial Jade Bi, Xuan Guang’s martial arts advancement skyrocketed over the years, and by the time he was in Yangcheng, he was already at the peak of True Dan, only a hair’s breadth away from being a God.

On the contrary, due to the chance of enlightenment being shared by Xuan Guang, it took him, who was already at the peak of the True Dan realm, another two years to successfully break through and advance to the level of a Tong Shen.” The Shadow King said.

“Since the King mentioned this matter, I suppose there should be proof that Xuan Chen bribed Xuan Guang with the True Martial Jade Biscuit.” Qing Yu asked after hearing the story.

Xuan Guang had been proven to be a traitor, and the words of a traitor were not enough to gain credibility. If they wanted to prove Xuan Chen’s guilt, they still had to come up with tangible evidence.

“That’s right, Xuan Guang had left behind the process of his deal with Xuan Chen with a shadow retention stone in case Xuan Chen changed his mind at first. This shadow stone was hidden by Xuan Guang in the True Martial Sect. Two years ago, in Yang City, Xuan Guang told Xuan Feng, who had been captured by him, about the existence of the stone and the deal with Xuan Chen, in order for Xuan Feng to take revenge for Xuan Fa and split the True Martial Sect.”

Qing Yu laughed at his words and said, “He is quite calculating, wanting Xuan Feng to arouse the hatred of my cheap master’s old division, split the True Martial Sect and take revenge on Xuan Chen. Unfortunately, he didn’t expect that Xuan Feng would hide the Remaining Shadow Stone and bury everything in his own heart.”

For the past two years, Qing Yu had been following the movements of the True Martial Sect. Even more so, Qing Yu had quietly been developing a few eyes and ears of not too high status.

Especially after almost killing Qing Xu, he had even sent people to secretly keep an eye on any changes in the True Martial Sect, fearing that one day people from the True Martial Sect would come to his door and not know about it.

Therefore, if something big were to happen, there is no way that Qing Yu would not have received any news of it.

As far as Qing Yu knew, the biggest thing that had happened to the True Martial Sect in the past two years was the killing of the sect’s eldest disciple by a certain villain in the snow and ice, leaving his bones untouched.

As for the rest, there was nothing else.

Xuan Feng had been fine, staying at his Wanfa Peak and planting seeds and flowers every day, just like an old man who was taking care of himself. It didn’t look like he had been dealt with for failing to expose Xuan Chen.

Xuan Guang should have also known that Xuan Feng had not retaliated against Xuan Chen as he had planned, which was why he had written to the Shadow King to entice him to intervene in the matter.

“This time, the King has called you here precisely for Xuan Feng.” The Shadow King said.

“Xuan Feng?”

“After Xuan Feng returned to the True Martial Sect since Yangcheng, his face aged instantly and he is now living a near retirement. He’s got a demon in his heart about concealing the matter of the Remaining Shadow Stone.” The Shadow King concluded.

Xuan Feng’s realm had reached the True Dan realm where the three elements were united, and his life expectancy could reach 300 years. Even if he allowed his appearance to change of its own accord, he should not be looking old at the peak of his spring and autumn.

So there is only one answer: Xuanfeng is having trouble letting go of what he has concealed, and his mind has become demonic, which has affected the state of his physical (anti-harmony) body.

Just as Qing Yu’s state of mind affected his hair to turn white, Xuan Feng’s state of mind also changed dramatically, causing him to look like he was about to die at any moment when he was in the prime of spring and autumn.

“The king has called you here this time to give you a chance. If you can find out the whereabouts of the Remaining Shadow Stone from Xuanfeng, then when your martial art reaches godhood, the True Martial Sword will be yours.”

A stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the Shadow King spoke astonishingly, going so far as to say that he would give the True Martial Sword to Qing Yu. Even with Qing Yu’s magnanimity, his heart flinched for a moment.

This was the True Martial Sword, the divine sword of the True Martial Sect, and when the list of famous swords was still in existence, this sword was the seventh ranked divine sword, much higher than Xiao Qiye’s ‘Hidden Blade’.

Despite the premise of the sword gift, Qing Yu still could not believe it.

Would the Shadow King be so kind? Qing Yu deeply doubted it.

Although he and the Shadow King had always gotten along well, Qing Yu had never forgotten the Shadow King’s identity. The Shadow King was the king of the shadows, the master of the dark side of the Great Qian, his heart and mind were unfathomable, not the legendary treasure-giving grandfather.

He was not a legendary grandfather who gave away treasures. For something like “I’ll look out for you, the treasures, divine skills and granddaughters are all yours”, Qing Yu would not have a*sociated such a grandfatherly storyline with the Shadow King unless he was out of his mind.

However, since the Shadow King had given his word, Qing Yu had no choice but to accept it.

Anyway, if this matter could make the Shadow King look at it, no matter what, Qing Yu had to agree to it. In that case, it would be better to do it simply.

As for what would happen in the future, hey, if the Shadow King wanted to follow the example of his former superior, Lu Qifeng, Qing Yu didn’t mind making it happen.

What Qing Yu lacked now anyway was enough sustenance and time to make himself progress. As long as there were enough of these two, when Qing Yu attained Godhood, it would be unclear who would be the master of the clouds by then.

“If that is the case, then I will go and make arrangements now.” Qing Yu nodded his head and said.

“But I have another question, what if Xuan Guang destroys the Remaining Shadow Stone?”

The Remaining Shadow Stone was said to be momentum, but it was actually a kind of spell formation jade stone. It was an ancient version of a camera, with the effect of capturing images by inscribing a shadow-holding spell formation on the jade stone.

Its quality is similar to that of a camera, and it is a fragile item. With Xuan Feng’s strength, if he wanted to destroy the Shadow Retention Stone, he could directly crush it into powder with his palm.

“This is your business, go ahead.”

The Shadow King raised his hand slightly, and a soft force pushed Qing Yu out of the room and landed him outside the small building.

‘This so-called urgent matter of yours doesn’t seem to be urgent at all.’ Qing Yu sighed in his heart as he looked at the closed portal from outside.

It was clear that he had summoned himself to come quickly with the Thousand Mile Letter Wind Falcon, but he had ended up leaving everything to himself, so Qing Yu had to wonder how urgent this was.

‘Also, does Xuan Guang have the heart to meddle in the affairs of the Central Plains now?’

Qing Yu had a hunch that perhaps soon, this Master Xuan Guang would appear again and start stirring up the storm.
