Chapter 299 - 181: Is the Ghost Emperor About to Die?
As soon as Chu Qing spoke, his words were not much pleasing to the ears.
Prince Mu, however, was not offended and laughed softly, saying:
"Why should the Third Young Master be so tense?
"The reason I sought you out today is not for fighting... On the contrary, I have prepared a small gift for the Third Young Master."
As he spoke, he took out a small bottle from his chest and tossed it to Chu Qing.
The origin of this item was unclear, so naturally, Chu Qing wouldn’t take it casually.
With a turn of his Inner Breath, he lightly flicked his right hand, and an invisible force swept over the porcelain bottle.
After this encounter, the porcelain bottle neither flew upwards nor fell downwards.
With a buzzing sound, it spun in the air.
Chu Qing then put on the Silk Gloves to hold it in his palm, glancing at it:
"What is this?"
"The antidote."
Prince Mu said softly:
"The strange person you encountered just now was coated in deadly poison.
"This poison is an improved version from the past of the Hundred Corpses Demon Monarch ’Ghost Cherry Blossoms,’ it must be said, talents emerge in each generation, each leading the trend for a hundred years.
"These seven disciples of the Hundred Corpses Demon Monarch, initially born just to be test subjects for the poison.
"But in the end, some could indeed become capable.
"This antidote comes from their hands, and after using it, the mushrooms growing on the body will fall off."
"So, I actually have to thank Prince Mu?"
Chu Qing stuffed the medicine bottle into his chest, hidden killing intent in his gaze.
"No need, no need."
Prince Mu smiled:
"It’s just a coincidence for me, and I hope to seize this to have some good chats with the Third Young Master."
"What is there for you and me to talk about?"
"Anyway, being idle is being idle."
Prince Mu extended his arm as an invitation:
"This tomb body of mine, Martial Arts are quite ordinary, only specialized in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, posing no threat to you at all.
"You can rest assured."
Chu Qing led Gentle to the front, sat on a large stone:
"Very well, since Prince Mu wants to chat, I’ll accompany you boldly, but what exactly does Prince Mu want to talk to me about?"
"How about discussing the Martial World?"
"Such a grand topic?"
"The opportunity is rare, we must talk about something different."
Prince Mu said with a smile:
"What does the Third Young Master think about the current Martial World?"
"...Constant turmoil with endless chaos, the people in deep distress."
Chu Qing said lightly:
"Moreover, your Celestial Evil Cult is creating chaos. Even if some people find temporary peace, they are disturbed by you."
"Exactly."
Prince Mu nodded:
"The people are in deep water and fire, and the world is in endless chaos.
"Ultimately, whose fault is it?"
"...You wouldn’t say it’s the Martial World’s fault, would you?"
"Isn’t it?"
Prince Mu turned his gaze towards Ghost God Gorge:
"Martial World people act recklessly, masters can seize whatever they want, and the people can only comply.
"You say Demon Dao brings harm to the world, but doesn’t the Righteous Path consume the people’s essence as well?
"Since ancient times, the chivalrous violate prohibitions with their martial arts, Confucians disrupt laws with their literature.
"In the past, the Great Qian Dynasty ruled the world, and its power was unmatched.
"The reason for issuing the Weapons Ban Order was due to the unrest in the Martial World.
"Especially those masters... What you have seen so far is just a few.
"The Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns are so high up, with a wave of their hand they can split rivers and cut seas.
"Which dynasty can allow such masters to rampage across the world unbridled?
"Maybe one day, in a bad mood, they will break into the Imperial Palace and cut off the head of an emperor, just as a topic for drunken conversation...
"And in the past, the Martial World fought fiercely with the Court due to this ’Weapons Ban Order’, leading to the Great Qian Dynasty’s sudden collapse overnight.
"Thus, the world fell into chaos!
"How many died because of it? Shouldn’t the deaths be attributed to those so-called Martial World heroes?"
Chu Qing frowned slightly, looking at Prince Mu’s gaze, somewhat bemused.
He never would have dreamed of discussing who should be responsible for the people who died in Martial World chaos over three hundred years with a Demon Dao man who viewed human life as worthless?
Could he speak to such a Demon Dao man about this?
Chu Qing shook his head:
"Things of the past have long passed, what use is there in speaking now?
"Your Celestial Evil Cult acts ruthlessly, do you ever see human life in your eyes?
"Not to mention anything else, let’s just talk about the Martial Arts you practice...
"Yama’s Order, Burial Song... Heh, just you, Prince Mu alone, how much innocent blood is under your hands?
"And the current tomb body you’re using, has it done anything wrong to become your vessel, spewing grandiose words here?
"From what I see, you stir up Martial World conflicts... Don’t tell me your purpose is not to kill?"
"Killing is just a means."
Prince Mu looked at Chu Qing:
"Our Celestial Evil Cult... From its inception, has only one goal.
"And that is the world!"
His voice was light, but his attitude was firm.
Chu Qing’s pupil slightly contracted, yet suddenly smiled:
"The world?"
Although this answer was within Chu Qing’s anticipated range.
Judging from their methods, it was never about one city or one place...
They have been planning this Martial World since three years ago.
But hearing the word ’world’ from Prince Mu’s mouth, he still found it amusing:
"The Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns standing high above, are not pushovers.
"You want to seize the world?
"Simply delusional..."
"What about the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns?"
Prince Mu slowly raised his head:
"After all, they are just humans, not immortals..."
"In the Celestial Secret Valley, you didn’t say this."
Chu Qing chuckled:
"According to your logic, what difference is there between the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns and immortals?"
