System: I Can Open Martial Arts Chests

Chapter 289 - 176: Farewell, Cheng Tieshan

Under Tie Chuming’s puzzled gaze, Chu Qing shifted his eyes and looked towards Ling Fei:

"The current situation of the Iron Blood Hall is probably not good, otherwise, Tie Lingyun wouldn’t easily send his beloved daughter out of Ghost God Gorge.

"In this battle with the Blazing Hall, not only is the Celestial Evil Cult involved, but the shadow of the Mirror of Sin is also present."

"What are you talking about?"

Tie Chuming widened her eyes:

"What Celestial Evil Cult, what Mirror of Sin?"

Ling Fei frowned slightly, ignoring Tie Chuming:

"That being said, the Iron Blood Hall is probably in extreme danger now."

"Adding flowers to the brocade is not as good as sending coal in the snow."

Chu Qing said softly:

"At this time, the Iron Blood Hall needs masters to join."

"Come on, you guys, don’t ignore me. What’s this about the Celestial Evil Cult and the Mirror of Sin?

"There is obviously only the Blazing Hall. What do those two have to do with it?"

Tie Chuming spoke again.

Ling Fei looked a bit troubled:

"It’s just that this battle is likely to be difficult.

"The Blazing Hall’s rash invasion of the Iron Blood Hall is definitely well prepared.

"Now the entire territory of the Iron Blood Hall has formed a state of ’Blazing Fire Razing the City’, surrounded from all sides. Even if they win the battle of Ghost God Gorge, the Iron Blood Hall is likely to be seriously weakened."

"No."

Chu Qing shook his head:

"The most crucial battle for the Iron Blood Hall now lies in Ghost God Gorge.

"Tie Lingyun occupies seventeen major cities, with masters stationed in each.

"The Blazing Hall came aggressively, intending for Tie Lingyun to forcibly break through the Blazing Hall’s offensive. If successful, the thousands of miles of soldiers could advance northward and counterattack the Blazing Hall.

"In such a case, when the forces of all sides are unable to react, the territory of the Iron Blood Hall would expand.

"So, he gathered the elites of seventeen cities, concentrating them in one place, creating an unstoppable force.

"But he didn’t expect to fall into a stalemate with the Blazing Hall.

"As a result, all the main forces were left at Ghost God Gorge, leading to the current state of ’Blazing Fire Razing the City’.

"But... do you really think the Blazing Hall has such capabilities to hold back all the elites of the Iron Blood Hall?"

"Is there anyone who can answer my question?"

Tie Chuming watched as the two people discussed their family’s matters but completely ignored her, feeling a bit angry.

Chu Qing glanced at her:

"Keep quiet."

"Oh."

Tie Chuming answered with a dark expression.

Ling Fei frowned and said:

"So, does the Blazing Hall have another plan?"

"I’m afraid this plan is not a good one."

Chu Qing said softly:

"I suspect this is a conspiracy against the Iron Blood Hall.

"The Blazing Hall was the first to act, tying up the Iron Blood Hall at Ghost God Gorge.

"The ’Blazing Fire Razing the City’, chaos from all sides, and the loss of three cities are just the main tactics... This fire will not only spread through three cities. This is just the beginning.

"As long as the Iron Blood Hall can’t break through the battle at Ghost God Gorge, this fire might consume the entire Iron Blood Hall!"

Ling Fei fell silent after hearing this.

She felt that what Chu Qing said made sense, but there seemed to be something not quite right.

After thinking for a moment, she suddenly realized:

"But if the Blazing Hall really has such skills, wouldn’t they have a chance to win at Ghost God Gorge?

"Why use this method to slowly eat away at Iron Blood Hall’s territory?"

Hearing this, Chu Qing looked up at her thoughtfully:

"What if they don’t want to be too conspicuous?

"What if... they just want people to think that this battle is the Blazing Hall’s invasion and the Iron Blood Hall’s defense at Ghost God Gorge?

"What if forces from all sides take advantage of the situation and carve up the Iron Blood Hall?"

"Is there someone hiding behind the scenes? Is it that you mentioned..."

A sudden flash of understanding crossed Ling Fei’s mind.

Chu Qing shook his head:

"That’s not important. What’s important is, what if, in the battle of Ghost God Gorge, the Blazing Hall can’t hold back the Iron Blood Hall?

"If the Blazing Hall is defeated swiftly, Tie Lingyun will have the ability to lead his men to reclaim lost ground.

"The Iron Blood Hall will still be the Iron Blood Hall!

"A towering giant tree rooted in the South Ridge, one that no one can ignore!!"

Ling Fei took a deep breath.

If they were to follow Chu Qing’s plan and join the Iron Blood Hall, under Tie Lingyun’s protection,

Even if the Mirror of Sin wanted to hunt them down, it would not be easy within the Iron Blood Hall’s territory.

And Chu Qing said that there were traces of the Mirror of Sin in the battle at Ghost God Gorge.

If they really dared to attempt to assassinate Tie Lingyun in Ghost God Gorge,

Then within the Iron Blood Hall’s territory, the Mirror of Sin would inevitably be unable to move an inch.

This is an opportunity!

But she looked at Chu Qing:

"Is what the Third Young Master said true?"

"Just a guess."

Chu Qing answered:

"But in the Martial World, one can’t avoid gambling.

"It depends on whether Miss Ling Fei and Brother Cao dare to make this gamble."

Ling Fei closed her eyes.

Thinking carefully, if they won, it would buy a lot of time for herself and Cao Qiupu to develop and grow.

If they lost... the situation wouldn’t be any worse.

"But coming to pledge ourselves hastily, Hall Master Tie might not trust the two of us."

Ling Fei voiced a bitter smile:

"Especially me..."

Chu Qing chuckled:

"This will depend on our Eldest Miss Tie."

Tie Chuming had been scratching her head on the side, listening for a long time, feeling confused.

But she understood the last sentence, immediately snorted:

"So you both need something from this Eldest Miss!"

"Yes, what does Eldest Miss Tie think?"

Chu Qing looked at her with a smile.

Tie Chuming felt a chill run down her spine at his smile:

"Don’t smile like that. When you smile like this, I feel that if I don’t agree, something very bad will happen."
