Chapter 758: Chapter 410: Secret Records (Part 2)

Ordinary people, upon hearing matters related to the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns, would naturally retreat.

Even the Martial Arts Alliance Leader of the Lingbei Martial World is insignificant before the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns.

However, Chu Qing seemed to have known something beforehand, and now that he’s pieced it together, he intends to get to the bottom of it.

Is he not afraid of the Martial Emperor’s might, which could leave him with no place to be buried?

In fact, the words Zuo Huaifeng just spoke were not entirely sincere, at least more than half weren’t.

He kept silent not for Chu Qing’s sake, but primarily for the sake of Zuo Zhongtang.

Now, for Zuo Zhongtang to secure the seat of Sect Leader of the Profound Mystery Sect, he must rely on Chu Qing.

In all respects, he has become Chu Qing’s subordinate.

If anything happens to Chu Qing, Zuo Zhongtang might not be able to keep his life... this is the real reason he didn’t want to speak.

But now... he suddenly felt that he had underestimated Chu Qing.

Although he didn’t know what Chu Qing was relying on, seeing his calm demeanor, it seemed he had some assurance.

Thinking of this, Zuo Huaifeng let out a deep sigh:

"I don’t know much about the specifics.

"However... the first time I met the Martial Emperor was many years ago.

"He found me, asking me to help save someone.

"That person was Chu Huai Feng... indeed, our names are quite similar, but that’s just a coincidence.

"I don’t know much about Chu Huai Feng, but I knew what he had done.

"Even though I didn’t understand why the Martial Emperor wanted to save such a notorious person, I could not defy his order.

"Back then, Chu Huai Feng was severely injured, so much so that even if the Martial Emperor himself intervened, he could hardly fully heal him, especially his tendons and bones, which not even an Immortal could save.

"The Martial Emperor approached me, intending for me to help Chu Huai Feng reshape a new set of bones..."

Chu Qing raised an eyebrow, thinking this Martial Emperor was indeed extraordinary.

Such a thing as bone replacement, to Chu Qing with two lifetimes of memory, seemed not that significant.

But in this era, merely conceiving such a thing was somewhat unbelievable.

The Martial Emperor even found Zuo Huaifeng to let him do...

Although what Zuo Huaifeng was to do was not surgery to replace the bone but to create a new bone.

The real person handling the technique was probably another medical genius.

Zuo Huaifeng continued:

"The Martial Emperor had even prepared the materials, and when I saw them, I found that, though the materials were inferior to those of our Profound Mechanism Armor, delving into it might allow the recreation of the Profound Mechanism Armor.

"I developed selfish motives back then, wanting to study them further, so I told the Martial Emperor that forging the bones would take time."

"The Martial Emperor didn’t seem suspicious on the surface, but secretly he was wary.

"I was caught researching those materials by the Martial Emperor, and had no choice but to confess everything.

"Unexpectedly, the Martial Emperor bore no grudge; instead, he grew curious.

"He even went so far as to spend a lot to help me research... Eventually, I created a substitute material for the Profound Mechanism Armor, called ’New Iron.’

"New Iron was much better than the original materials the Martial Emperor found, and he asked me to try copying the Profound Mechanism Armor.

"In the end, it wasn’t successful; the armor created was only its form, lacking the ingenious mechanisms of the Profound Mechanism Armor.

"Some parts, even with materials like New Iron, couldn’t meet the requirements.

"I went through many similar failures, indifferent to them, and as I was gathering myself to forge new bones for Chu Huai Feng, the Martial Emperor told me it was no longer necessary.

"He put the armor I created together with Chu Huai Feng, leveraging the armor to let him move freely.

"But as to how he accomplished it, I couldn’t comprehend.

"I thought this matter could come to an end here...

"But I didn’t expect that each year thereafter, the Martial Emperor would come to demand a batch of armor."

"...Every year? A batch?"

Chu Qing squinted his eyes:

"How much is in a batch?"

"Sometimes three to five hundred, sometimes seven to eight hundred, and sometimes over a thousand..."

Chu Qing felt a faint astonishment inside.

He already had some idea about where the Martial Emperor used these armors.

However, the sheer quantity still seemed unbelievable.

If things were indeed as he imagined, then neither Chu Huai Feng nor the assassin from the Mirror of Sin were more than a drop in the ocean.

What the Martial Emperor had gathered now was an extremely terrifying power.

From the sparse words of Chu Huai Feng and others, mastering those martial arts was definitely not a pleasant experience.

"How did you deliver these armors to the Martial Emperor?"

Chu Qing thought of another crucial point.

This is, after all, the Southern Domain, and it is a region apart from the Lingbei Martial World where the Martial Emperor resides; where did Zuo Huaifeng get such great Divine Power to deliver things to the Martial Emperor?

Zuo Huaifeng’s next words were even more surprising to Chu Qing:

"Through... the Mirror of Sin."

"...Mirror of Sin?"

Chu Qing repeated, also inquiring.

Zuo Huaifeng nodded:

"Yes, the Mirror of Sin... I do not know the connection between the Mirror of Sin and the Martial Emperor.

"I just know that every year, people from the Mirror of Sin come with the Martial Emperor’s Order to seek armor.

"Then they inform me of the required amount for the next year.

"How dare I disobey the Martial Emperor’s orders?

"I can only act under command.

"This is also why I have ties with the Mirror of Sin... Regardless of its reputation, in my eyes, it’s connected to the Martial Emperor!"

Saying this, he looked at Chu Qing:

"I don’t know what entanglements you have with the Mirror of Sin, but I advise you... not to go too far.

"Scuffles may fall on deaf ears to the Martial Emperor.

"But once you indeed touch his bottom line, what awaits is thunderous fury!"

Chu Qing said nothing in response, merely smiling slightly.

From the moment he opened his eyes in that forest, his relationship with the Mirror of Sin had become irreconcilable.

Therefore, no matter who stands behind the Mirror of Sin, whether it is the Martial Emperor or another existence, it doesn’t matter.

Whoever stands in the way must die.

Otherwise, it is he who will be dead.

After that, Chu Qing asked some more questions, about the Mirror of Sin, and also about the Martial Emperor.

But as for the content about the Martial Emperor, Zuo Huaifeng also didn’t know much.

However, he knew quite a bit about the Mirror of Sin.

The Southern Domain Headquarters, because of the Celestial Evil Cult matter, is currently observing quietly, seemingly preparing to withdraw from the Southern Domain.

But how far the process has gone, he does not know.

And now the Southern Domain Headquarters’ Squad Leader is someone with the codename ’Red Ghost.’

This person’s real identity and name are unknown, Zuo Huaifeng has seen him twice, and each time gave him the feeling of walking on the edge of a blade, treading on thin ice.

This individual’s martial arts are absolutely remarkable.

At least superior to the sect leaders in the Southern Domain.

The location of the Southern Domain Headquarters is indeed within the sphere of influence of the Profound Mystery Sect, and detailed information was provided.

Even several branch bases’ locations, Zuo Huaifeng knows them all.

All were laid bare.

Until Zuo Huaifeng had nothing more to say, only then did Chu Qing rise to leave.

Before leaving, Chu Qing told Zuo Huaifeng a piece of good news... he could live on.

But even this news, for Zuo Huaifeng, didn’t count as a good one.

Having been captured by Chu Qing and divulging so much information.

Even if Chu Qing lets him live, there would still be many who wish him dead.

Especially the Mirror of Sin...

Even if he survives by luck this time, he fears he will never know peace in the future.

...

...

After Chu Qing emerged from the dungeon, he directly returned to his own room this time.

Currently, three major matters lay before him to address.

The first is the matter of the Mirror of Sin’s Southern Domain Headquarters.

Zuo Huaifeng said, due to the Celestial Evil Cult, the Southern Domain Headquarters seems intent on withdrawing from the Southern Domain.

Although now the General and the brought Celestial Evil Cult disciples have all been annihilated at Immortal Cloud Mountain.

But it’s hard to say whether this victorious event will drive them to flee from sheer fear?
