System: I Can Open Martial Arts Chests

Chapter 300 - 181: Will the Ghost Emperor Die? (2)

"That also requires them to have the courage and boldness."

Prince Mu sneered:

"Those who deceive the world and steal fame, like monkeys wearing crowns, will one day fall into the abyss and never see the sky again!"

Chu Qing looked at Prince Mu, who hid all emotions behind his mask, pondering the meaning of his words.

Thinking back to the movements of the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns...

His fingertip lightly tapped his knee:

"What have you done again?"

"South Ridge, Lingbei, the entire Southern Domain, is merely a domain in the world.

"What you see now is but a corner of our Celestial Evil Cult’s grand blueprint...

"The vastness of our Celestial Evil Cult is beyond what you can imagine at present."

"Oh?"

Chu Qing looked at Prince Mu with a half-smile:

"Since so, why don’t you elaborate, Prince, so I can understand what grand plans the Celestial Evil Cult has?"

"Forget it."

Prince Mu shook his head:

"Don’t use such petty tricks on me; you risk becoming a laughingstock.

"Third Young Master, I recognize your talent... I hope you can join our Celestial Evil Cult and plot great things together."

"Alright, I’ll join."

Chu Qing nodded decisively.

"...Don’t treat me like a three-year-old child; if you wish to join, you must show your sincerity."

Prince Mu laughed:

"I know you have no intention right now, but I don’t mind waiting.

"However, since it’s still early, why don’t we make a bet?"

"A bet?"

Chu Qing squinted slightly:

"What do you want to bet with me?"

"A secret."

Prince Mu said:

"If you win, I’ll help you keep a secret."

"My secret?"

Chu Qing raised his eyebrows slightly: "How do you know?"

"You still underestimate our Celestial Evil Cult."

Prince Mu said softly:

"Your identity as the Night Emperor can fool others, but it cannot fool me."

"Night Emperor?"

Chu Qing pondered:

"I’ve heard of this person... So, Prince, do you think this person is me?"

"Whether it is or not is not important."

Prince Mu looked deeply into Chu Qing’s eyes and continued:

"What’s important is whether anyone will believe it."

"This doesn’t seem to affect me?"

Chu Qing spread his hands:

"Prince Mu plans to put another label on me.

"But what does it have to do with me? I don’t accept this bait."

"Oh well."

Prince Mu nodded:

"In that case, I’ll have someone spread the news, so perhaps some interesting things will happen to you, Third Young Master."

"As long as it pleases you, Prince."

Chu Qing’s face showed no change in expression.

Prince Mu’s eyes rested on Chu Qing, finally nodding:

"In that case, how about I gamble my life?"

"Prince, isn’t your gambling spirit too big?"

Chu Qing raised his eyebrows:

"What do I have to pay if I lose?"

"Join our Celestial Evil Cult!"

Prince Mu’s voice was deliberate.

"Alright!"

Chu Qing immediately nodded:

"What are we betting on?"

"Let’s bet..."

Prince Mu looked up at Chu Qing:

"What will be the fate of the Ghost Emperor?

"I declare... the Ghost Emperor will die!"

Chu Qing’s fingertip settled.

Some time ago, at Luochun Manor, Chu Qing had heard rumors.

Profound Emperor Shang Qiuyu disappeared, and Ghost Emperor Modo headed south.

Logically, Ghost Emperor Modo is likely in South Ridge.

But since entering Iron Blood Hall’s territory, there haven’t been any more rumors about the movements of the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns.

The Ghost Emperor will die?

Is it an empty threat, or is something truly happening quietly?

"Since it’s a bet, there naturally must be a time limit."

Chu Qing slowly said:

"When will he die?"

"Within a year!"

Prince Mu said as he slowly stood up:

"Within a year, the Ghost Emperor Modo will surely die!

"If this comes true, the third young master will join my Celestial Evil Cult. If not... my life is yours to take."

"A tomb body?"

"The true self!"

"Alright."

Chu Qing nodded:

"It’s a deal."

"Hahaha."

Prince Mu chuckled, gazing at Chu Qing:

"I truly wonder, a year from now, what kind of progress will you have made?

"Sometimes, time doesn’t always go as one wishes..."

At that moment, Chu Qing suddenly turned to look in a certain direction.

Prince Mu was still clueless about this.

Chu Qing glanced at him, understanding in his heart that Prince Mu’s tomb body did not excel in martial arts.

"Someone’s coming."

Chu Qing said softly:

"Prince Mu, do you intend to take your own life, or should I intervene?"

"Why rush? Since someone is coming, why not see who they are first?"

It seemed Prince Mu’s curiosity was quite strong as well.

Chu Qing suddenly asked:

"Where is Deceitful Poison now?"

"He’s already gone to Ghost God Gorge."

As Prince Mu spoke, suddenly two figures leaped out from the forest.

However, these two figures appeared peculiar, one carrying the other in their hand, slung over their shoulder.

Once their steps settled, they shielded their eyes from the sun, looking around:

"Should be around here..."

"Are you blind?"

The one being carried pointed:

"Isn’t it right there?"

Seeing these two, Chu Qing slightly raised his eyebrows.

Nianxin and Nian’an...

Lv Zhi had previously said they went to find Prince Mei.

After that, there was no more news, assumed dead by Prince Mei, yet unexpectedly they were still alive and kicking.

Now, the direction they pointed was indeed towards Prince Mu.

"Alright, alright, a tomb body, is it!?"

Nian’an merely glanced at Prince Mu, then burst into manic laughter:

"Prepare to die!!!"

With a step, her body soared, swinging the Nianxin in her hand, ruthlessly hurling her towards Prince Mu.

Prince Mu was initially slightly stunned, but upon seeing the duo’s attack, his eyes suddenly changed:

"[Seven Treasures Glazed Body Scripture]!

"You’re from Bodhi Temple..."

With this, not only did he not resist, but instead leaped backward, plunging directly into the cliff.

Seemingly preferring suicide over being beaten by these two girls?

A muffled thud!

At this moment, Nianxin was already slammed to the ground by Nian’an.

Head first, the ground instantly cracked in all directions, raising dust high into the sky, leaving a part of Half Cliff shattered to pieces.

Nian’an leaped back, looking down:

"That old guy is sly, jumping off a cliff to die rather than take a hit from me."

"Had I killed him, I could have traced the origin... what a pity, what a pity."

Nianxin casually flicked her hair, letting the dust settle:

"I heard at Luochun Manor’s Celestial Secret Valley, a Prince Mu was killed by some young man they called the third young master.

"And many tomb bodies were also troubled by traveling sects.

"What a pity... if only I were there."

Chu Qing had been dumbfounded since Prince Mu jumped off the cliff.

Hearing these sisters talk, he was even more bewildered:

"Ladies... can you trace the origin and find Prince Mu’s true self?"

The sisters, still discussing, turned to look at him simultaneously upon hearing him speak.

"And who are you?"

They spoke in unison.

"I am... the third young master you mentioned."

Nianxin and Nian’an exchanged a glance:

"A master!?"

Looking at Chu Qing again with eyes that made Chu Qing feel uneasy.

Sure enough, Nianxin said:

"A master, a great master, we plan to unite the Green Forest... and we need someone like you to join us!"

Chu Qing raised an eyebrow, having witnessed the sisters’ previous methods.

While it sounded nice to invite someone, it was either through coercion or forcing them with martial arts...

So, were they planning to force him to be their lackey now?

Chu Qing grinned:

"If I refuse, what will you do?"

"Then we won’t be polite!"

Nianxin and Nian’an cracked their knuckles, not looking friendly.

Chu Qing nodded:

"I made a bet with Prince Mu earlier, what if I make a bet with you two as well?"
