Eternal Saber-Chapter 192 - 54: Evil Emperor

Sun Tianlu nodded quietly.

The later fame of the Evil Emperor was something he had heard of.

She is the only woman among the Nine Great Sects, acting on her whims, hard to define as righteous or evil.

Regardless of being from the righteous path or the demonic path, from Jianghu or the court, countless have died at her hands!

Often, in just a single thought, someone meets an untimely death!

"Evil Emperor!"

Sun Tianlu’s gaze was somber as he slowly asked, "Grand Commandant, what do you think about this matter, can we..."

Yuwen Mao shook his head slightly and said, "This matter must be planned carefully. The Evil Emperor is not easy to provoke. Even the Profound Celestial Sect Leader personally appearing is not enough; other experts must be united."

"The Evil Emperor has no family or ties, nothing to hold her back. If we fail and let her escape, none of us will sleep or eat in peace."

"First, report the Evil Emperor’s whereabouts back to the Profound Celestial Sect Leader, and then discuss how to deal with it."

Sun Tianlu was silent.

He was well aware that even if he reported this, the Profound Celestial Sect Leader would not provoke such a fierce character for his son’s sake.

It’s just that he only had this one son, whom he was extremely fond of.

This son was talented, having cultivated to Great Success in Meridian Passage in his thirties and hoped to reach Second Grade Innate before forty.

But now, he died right in front of him like this!

White-haired sending off black-haired, losing a son in old age, how could he accept this?

The more Sun Tianlu thought about it, the more his anger burned, difficult to suppress!

"Who is the young man with Lu Qing?"

Sun Tianlu suddenly asked.

The root cause of Sun Gu’s tragic death was that young man and Lu Qing escaping to that mountainside gorge, leading the Evil Emperor to emerge.

Since they can’t provoke the Evil Emperor for now, they have only to capture that young man, using his blood and head to pay tribute to his child!

"Still unclear."

Yuwen Mao said, "From their description, this person doesn’t seem to have any notable background, just an ordinary Jianghu person."

"This youngster should still be in the mountainside gorge. We can send people to investigate around Martial General Mountain. If there’s any trace or news of this person, we can take action." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"Good!"

...

Xiping Temple.

In his sleep, Chen Tang seemed to hear a series of Buddhist chants, possessing a mysterious and inexplicable powerful aura.

Along with the chants, the cold within him gradually dissipated.

A burst of heat suddenly flowed into his body, merging with that coldness, transforming into a warm current.

It wandered through his organs, spreading throughout his body.

Chen Tang felt so comfortable that he almost let out a sound.

This feeling was similar to soaking in a hot spring in a past life, his whole body warm and cozy.

He even developed a strange sensation.

His muscles and bones, under the nourishment of this warm current, tingled and itched as if growing and strengthening slowly!

Originally, he had already cultivated to the Seventh Grade, Great Mastery of Yijin.

The major tendons in his body were like refined steel, incredibly tough!

But under the nourishment of this warm current, his major tendons gradually softened, becoming full of elasticity, and his muscular membranes more resilient!

Unaware of how much time had passed, Chen Tang slowly woke up.

He turned over and stood up, hardly exerting any force, leaping a full ten feet high!

Upon landing, he felt a slight strangeness in his muscles and bones, instinctively stretching.

Like popping beans, a peculiar sound came from within, resembling vibrating bowstrings, crackling loudly!

Chen Tang’s eyes brightened.

The bow like a thunderous string shaking!

This is a sign of having cultivated to the Great Perfection of the Seventh Grade Extreme Realm in Yijin!

The Former Emperor Wu once said, the mark of the Extreme Realm in the lower three grades is Ice Skin Jade Bone, muscles as strings.

Only at this moment had he reached this realm.

Chen Tang observed himself, after achieving Perfection in Yijin, his stature grew half a head taller, his whole form more robust and imposing, comparable to someone from the Cold Domain!

A martial artist with Great Success in Seventh Grade, at most, can exert the strength to draw an Eight-Stone Bow.

Now, Chen Tang felt that he could even pull an Eleven-Stone tough bow!

In cultivation, each stone’s strength increment becomes incredibly difficult.

Though it may seem like merely three stones more in strength.

In a confrontation, an extra three stones of strength suffice to crush martial artists of the same tier!

It should be noted, even Great Success in Sixth Grade opens a Ten-Stone Bow.

Feeling the condition inside his body, Chen Tang was secretly delighted.

Just over two months ago, he had just stepped into the Seventh Grade.

Now, he had already cultivated to the Extreme Realm of Seventh Grade, an astonishing pace!

If he were to cultivate alone on Snow Mountain, he would never reach this level.

"Amitabha, Donor, you have awakened."

At this moment, a gentle voice sounded.

Chen Tang followed the sound and looked over.

He saw an old monk with his back to him, emaciated, unable to support the wide monk robe he wore, seated on a worn-out mat, with two extremely long white eyebrows almost hanging down to the sides of his shoulders.

"I am Chen Tang. Senior, are you Master Le Kong?"

Chen Tang hurriedly asked.

"I am indeed."

The white-browed old monk did not turn around and replied.

"Thank you, Master, for saving my life."

Chen Tang hurriedly bowed respectfully to express his gratitude.

Even though he had been unconscious, he knew that without Master Le Kong, he would have been frozen to death by that cold energy.

Le Kong said, "It’s not about gratitude, just a chance meeting. Donor, there is no need to be overly polite."

"Master, what is the cold energy inside my body?"

Chen Tang asked, "Was it caused by that purple-clad woman at the foot of the mountain?"

If it was unintentional, then so be it.

If she did it on purpose, this matter can’t be left unresolved!

He risked his life to escort Lu Qing all the way to escape here.

Though he didn’t seek any reward, it was out of righteousness, but to harm me without any reason, I can’t tolerate this.

Le Kong turned around and looked at Chen Tang, gently struck the wooden fish in his hand.

Dong!

A light sound.

Somehow, this sound seemed to strike directly at Chen Tang’s heart.

The resentment that had just surged up dissipated quite a bit.

Le Kong smiled slightly and said, "Donor Chen has become attached to appearances; whether intentional or accidental, it ultimately brought you good fortune. Why harbor unnecessary hatred when fortune has come from misfortune?"

That sound of the wooden fish shook Chen Tang’s spirit, and listening to Master Le Kong’s words, he found himself suddenly at a loss for words.

Encountering good fortune from misfortune, perhaps there really was no need to pursue this matter.

Chen Tang shook his head.

This monk is truly formidable.

Whatever he says, I find it highly reasonable...

"Alright then."

Chen Tang decided not to delve further into this matter for the moment. He sat cross-legged across from Master Le Kong, mimicking the posture and asked, "Master, who is that purple-clad woman? She seems remarkably powerful."

Master Le Kong saw that Chen Tang was casual and unreserved, but didn’t mind, only smiled and said, "That female donor is surnamed Lu, and she has a particular reputation in the Jianghu."

"What is it?"

Chen Tang asked.

"Evil Emperor."

Master Le Kong spoke, uttering two words.

Chen Tang was startled, almost jumping up from the ground.

The Evil Emperor is a woman?

Had he really just met the legendary Evil Emperor, one of the Nine Great Sects in the world?

And was he just contemplating settling scores with her?

It was like lighting a lamp in an outhouse.

Chen Tang took several deep breaths to calm his spirit.

No wonder.

Madam Lu had murderous intent when she first saw them.

This was understandable.

After all, the Lu family had a sensitive identity as descendants of the Former Emperor Wu.

Moreover, Madam Lu eventually did not take action.

This Evil Emperor acted even more bizarrely, nearly costing him his life!

This master and disciple truly inherited the same line.

Chen Tang murmured in his heart.

Fortunately, Lu Qing didn’t grow up with the Evil Emperor from a young age.

If she had been raised by the Evil Emperor as a child, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Chen Tang felt a bit curious and asked, "By rights, the Evil Emperor is someone from the previous dynasty; she should be quite old by now, but how does she still look like a woman in her thirties?"

"Because she once obtained a Youthful Appearance Pill."

Master Le Kong looked at Chen Tang, his gaze meaningful, and said, "This Youthful Appearance Pill was gifted to her by Donor Qin back then."

Donor Qin?

Chen Tang was stirred.

The son of Emperor Wu was named Qin Xi.

It stands to reason that Emperor Wu should also have the surname Qin.

The Qin donor in the Master’s words, is he referring to Emperor Wu?

Before he could figure it out, he heard Master Le Kong smiling slightly and suddenly asking, "Is Donor Qin doing well?"

Seeing the look in Master Le Kong’s eyes, Chen Tang instantly understood that the person he referred to was indeed Emperor Wu!
