Volume 1 The Scourge of Ascension Chapter 41 Thinking of Relatives
"Get out... Otherwise die!"
Cheng Hao walked out first and said coldly to the disciples of the Qingcheng faction. What the Qingcheng faction did made Cheng Hao lose a good impression of them, if they were obsessed and had to stand in the way, then they had to do extraordinary things.
As Cheng Hao and the others slowly approached, the disciples around them kept retreating, saying threatening words in their mouths, but none of them really dared to make a move. Cheng Hao and Zao Wou-Ki walked in front, leading the others straight out of the mountain gate, and rushed towards Shicun without looking back. What Cheng Hao and the others and these Qingcheng Sect disciples still couldn't understand was that until they left, they didn't see the Elder Sect appear.
In the main hall of the Qingcheng Sect, Ye Ting sat in the chief and closed his eyes to recuperate, and all the elders above the realm of the Grandmaster of the entire Qingcheng Sect gathered together, discussing a lot in the hall, turning away every disciple who came to report it.
Now through Ye Ting, everyone already knows Cheng Hao's identity. The Qingcheng faction did not lend a helping hand to Cheng Hao when he needed help the most, and the head of Nangong Que did not show his attitude, they were reluctant to go out, especially those elders who were already familiar with Cheng Hao, and they felt that it was a loss of morality.
In the back mountain of the Qingcheng faction, Nangong Que was playing chess with Ye Xuan, and was indifferent to the disciples of the sect surrounding Cheng Hao and others. At this moment, more than 200 hands have been played, and the two black and white dragons on the chess surface are entangled with each other, and they have formed a life and death robbery!
"Let's take a look!" Ye Xuan laughed, easing the atmosphere. The catastrophe of life and death is the catastrophe of the world, which is related to the survival of the entire chess game of both sides. Now the two sides are walking on thin ice, cautious and cautious, and in one step, either you die or I die, which is really breathless.
Nangong Que shook his head and smiled silently, after more than a dozen moves, the life-and-death robbery continued, but the chess situation became more and more dangerous to him, and he was even in a desperate situation. He lifted it several times, and then withdrew it several times. If he clicks this one, he will either be relieved or all destroyed! Between black and white, he had a flash of inspiration, and his hand fell. Before this piece fell, no one could see that white had the possibility of solving the robbery, but when this piece fell, the chess momentum immediately changed subtly.
Ye Xuan forced it, Bai Zi pulled, Hei Zi Guan, Bai Zi demolished, Hei Zi stabbed, Bai Zi jumped, Hei Zi broken, Bai Zi jumped again, thrillingly crossed.
"Worry-free tribulation, life and death tribulation has become worry-free calamity, wonderful!" Ye Xuan exclaimed, and after a closer look, Bai Zi not only solved the robbery, but the black chess was also broken and could not work. This is not just a solution to the life and death calamity, but the defeat has been decided, and he immediately admired, "The head of the chess is superb, Ye is defeated!"
"Worry-free, worry-free... He's gone..."
Nangong lost interest and got up and looked out of the mountain gate. His face also became strange, and he thought that Cheng Hao would reason with him about what he said, but he didn't expect the other party to leave directly.
Ye Xuan sat on the stone bench, caressing his beard and quietly watching the chess game. After a short silence, he stood up and sighed slightly, "Alas, with all due respect to Ye Xuan, doesn't the head of the sect think that such an act is a bit excessive?"
"Huang'er left because of this, and now even you don't agree with my approach?" Nangong Que retracted his gaze and turned to Ye Xuan and said, "The Qingcheng faction is my hard work, how can I give it up easily if I don't have to?"
After listening, Ye Xuan was silent. He knew why Nangong Que was like this, when the two Nangong Que brothers took him out of Chu State, they went to a small country in the south. According to the people of Chu, it is called the land of the Southern Barbarians. It was there that he saw Nangong Que's real hole cards, and the entire Nangong clan was not as he said, only the two of them remained.
There, Nangong Que discovered a shocking secret, if it weren't for that change, maybe he would need to rely on Cheng Hao's potential to achieve his goal, and the final result was nothing more than Nangong Que leaving here with his henchmen, and the Qingcheng faction would inevitably be suppressed or even erased by the Six Gates.
But now it's different, because he or should say that his people have a better way! In this way, in order to keep the Qingcheng faction, he can only dissociate himself from Cheng Hao, but he still has the apology in his heart, but he didn't expect the other party to leave like this.
Here, a few hours after Cheng Hao and the others left the Qingcheng faction, they were on the way to Shicun in Qingzhou City. Coincidentally, it was the same forest where they had a fight with Xie Feng five years ago, and they saw an acquaintance.
"Nangong Huang?"
As soon as they met, Zao Wou-Ki walked out first, looking around at the true qi running slowly, the innate realm was ready to go, and there was a posture of making a move if he didn't agree with him. Now that it has broken with the Qingcheng faction, it is inevitable that the other party will not clash when it appears here.
Ignoring Zhao Wouji's actions, Nangong Huang walked up to Cheng Hao and bowed slightly, "Don't get me wrong, I'm here to apologize to you!"
"Hehe! Apologize? How can I let the number one master of the dignified Nangong family personally make amends? If there is nothing else, I will leave first!"
Cheng Hao raised his eyebrows and sneered! As soon as he stepped out of the Qingcheng faction with his front foot, Nangong Que didn't even show up. Not long after the hind feet left, Nangong Huang was waiting for them here. Just because they refused to make a move, their parents and relatives had already died because of this, and it was too hypocritical for the other party to say this kind of thing at this time!
"I really can't stop my brother's business. Nangong Huang said helplessly, "Now that I have parted ways with him, he probably won't continue to fulfill the agreement between you!"
Cheng Hao's expression was flat, waiting for his next step. Needless to say, he also counted these in his heart, although Nangong Huang said that he parted ways with Nangong Que and Cheng Hao was a little surprised, but these have nothing to do with him.
"Regarding the matter of returning to the Kyushu Continent, he already has a more secure method himself. But don't worry, even then they won't have anything to do with you, at most they won't have anything to do with you. Seeing that Cheng Hao didn't speak, Nangong Huang continued!
"Okay, I got it!"
After that, Cheng Hao looked at him and walked straight in front of him. After being sent out of Qingcheng, he had faintly seen some clues. That said, why say so much!
"Cheng Hao..."Seeing that the other party ignored him, Nangong Huang stopped him. Then he turned over his hand and took out a jade slip, and chased after him, "My Nangong clan violated the agreement first, in order to apologize, this is my clan's flying sword sacrifice alchemy, I hope you can accept it!"
"No need, you don't owe me anything, let's stop here!" Cheng Hao refused with an indifferent expression! Since the two sides have no relationship, he will not accept anything from the other party, just keep your distance!
"This matter is the fault of my Nangong family, and I am here to apologize for my brother. If you don't accept this jade slip, I won't be at ease!" Nangong Huang handed the jade slip to his side, and Cheng Hao had the posture that he would never give up if he didn't accept it.
"That's it!" Seeing that Cheng Hao still ignored it, Zhao Wouji took the jade slip and glanced at Nangong Huang deeply, "From now on, you and I will be clear, we don't owe each other, and we will say goodbye!" After saying that, he pulled Cheng Hao away, and everyone behind him immediately followed.
"Master, you..."
Cheng Hao was puzzled and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zao Wou-Ki shaking his head. Only Nangong Huang stood in place, watching them leave silently, and when everyone disappeared from sight, he gently stroked the purse on his waist, and a large boat floated in front of him. Nangong Huang jumped up, and the boat carried him quickly into the air, flying all the way to the south!
A few hours later, in a small town hundreds of miles away from Qingzhou City, Cheng Hao and his party found an inn to stay. Asked Huzi and them to take care of the sleeping Xu Qing, he went to Zao Wou-ki's room alone.
"Sit down!"
In the room, Zao Wou-Ki was standing in front of the window in contemplation. Seeing Cheng Hao push the door in, he pointed to the chair in the room, motioned for Cheng Hao to sit down, and then looked out the window!
"Nangong Huang and his brother are not all the way!" had long known that Cheng Hao would come to investigate this matter, and Zhao Wuji said directly. Then he threw the jade slip towards Cheng Hao.
"It's all the same for me, I'm not the same as them!" Cheng Hao took the jade slip and played with it in his hand. Nangong Huang is not good at words, but he is above board, not as calculating as Nangong Que, and is used to controlling the fate of others, I guess this is the reason why they will come to this point!
However, whether it is Nangong Huang or Nangong Que, there is no difference to Cheng Hao at all, at least he will not and does not plan to have any intersection with them in the next few days.
"He's a real hero!" Zao Wou-Ki shook his head lightly and retracted his gaze, turned his face sideways to Cheng Hao and said, "We can't go back to Shicun!"
"I know!"
To Zao Wouji's surprise, Cheng Hao actually thought the same way. "No matter how unreasonable the six doors are, they are also officials of the imperial court, and they will not massacre ordinary people for no reason, but we went back to give them a reason to act. If they don't make a move, other Jianghu forces that want to curry favor with the Six Gates will naturally not do such a thankless thing!" As he spoke, Cheng Hao probed his spiritual power into the jade slip in his hand, and the contents of it were quickly imprinted in his mind, and then he put the thunder guide duel he had obtained before and the cloud and rain technique on the seat together.
"Well, you can think of so much, you can rest assured as a teacher!" Zhao Wuji nodded, "Go back and rest! Tomorrow morning, we will go all the way south and leave Chu State!"
"Master also rest early!" With that, Cheng Hao got up and left.
Zao Wou-Ki walked to the table, picked up the three jade slips and put them away, and did not be polite to Cheng Hao. Their opponents are six doors, and with more strength comes more hope. It's just that he didn't tell Cheng Hao that even if they didn't return to Shicun, the six doors didn't necessarily mean that they wouldn't really make a move. It's just that if they don't go back, they won't change anything, but if they really go back, they will most likely not be able to escape under the preparation of the six doors!
At night, Cheng Hao stood alone in the courtyard of the inn. The starry sky on a summer night is very beautiful, with wind, moon, and bright stars in the sky, a perfect picture, but the desolate heart cannot stir up beautiful waves.
Cheng Hao sighed softly, took a pot of wine and poured himself a drink, and looked at the river outside the town in the distance. There was a fishing boat lit up there, and Zao Wou-Ki was facing the river, playing a flute that he didn't know where to find, and the sound of the flute in the quiet night, melodiously fluttering, lingering with infinite reverie and thoughts, slowly soaring. Ascending into the deep sky with stars and bright moons, dancing gracefully and lightly with the clouds, like the noise of heaven and earth turned into a splendid tapestry, a silent spiritual scroll, and a fresh and mysterious heavenly sound.
Maybe he drank wine, Cheng Hao seemed to see the figure of his parents standing in front of him, reaching out to grab it, but the result was empty, turning into the confusion and longing of the soundtrack. The outstretched hand forgot to withdraw it for a while, and the figure of Zao Wou-Ki in the distance was still standing in the distance, the cold light shone on the lonely shadow, and the dawn moon reflected the heart of the river. Such a beautiful scenery can give birth to sadness in his heart.
"May I sit down?"
Ying Tianxing's voice sounded behind him, holding two wine jars in his arms, interrupting Cheng Hao's thoughts. Without waiting for his response, Ying Tianxing sat directly next to him, patted the lid of the wine jar, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it.
"Hmm! good wine!" he fanned the aroma of wine to his nose with his hand, and handed another jar to Cheng Hao, "This is the signboard of this inn, it is said that the wine is very strong, and the shopkeeper is only willing to sell one jar, I forcibly bought more, do you want to try it?"
Cheng Hao glanced at him with a strange face, took a big sip with his head up, reached out and wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, shook his head and said, "It's not good!" Just continued to drink after finishing speaking, he didn't like to borrow wine to burn his sorrows, maybe wine is good wine, but he is in a less mood to drink.
Ying Tianxing pursed his lips and didn't argue with him, and drank silently. Until the wine jar in the hands of the two was empty, they didn't say a word to each other.
