Chapter 1475 Who“s Pushing the Tide

There was no satisfaction, but only heaviness on Diwu Qingrou’s face.“The strength right now is still much inferior to Chu Yang’s Nine Tribulations brothers.” Diwu Qingrou placed his hands behind his back and walked about in the tent slowly. He thought to himself, “I still need to continue applying pressure... Though Lan Mofeng is leaning to my side temporarily, he’s forced to do so by the situation, for his own protection. Strictly speaking, he cannot be considered part of my own power...” 𝒇𝙧𝚎𝐞𝙬𝒆𝑏𝑛𝑜v𝚎𝒍.c𝑜m

“For the rest of the people, it’s easy to segregate and threaten them to obedience. But to completely have their loyalty, it’s almost impossible.” Diwu Qingrou thought about it, pacing.

There was mist in the air, and a black figure suddenly appeared in the tent, standing silently behind Diwu Qingrou.

Diwu Qingrou’s expression did not change, as though he didn’t notice it; he was still pacing. Yet he asked softly, “Why did you help me?”

His tone was very ordinary and emotionless, and sounded like he had long realized the presence of the black shadow. There was absolutely no nonsense like “you’re here?”.

A strange light shone in the eyes of the black shadow. He said in a low voice, “you can discover my arrival?”

Diwu Qingrou didn’t speak, but simply shook his head. From this one sentence, he had figured out that this man was not very smart.

Because what he should really ask was, “How did you discover my arrival?”, not “you can discover my arrival?”

One was a simple question, and another was a question with a purpose.

The two questions sounded similar, but were, in fact, vastly different.

“The air changed!” stated Diwu Qingrou calmly.

“You still concealed your strength, right?” inquired the man in black calmly. “With your age and experience, you can’t reach such a high cultivation... how did you do it?”

Diwu Qingrou shook his head and asked, “May I know who asked you to help me?”

From the two sentences spoken, Diwu Qingrou knew that this man in black wasn’t the decision maker.

If the decision maker had this kind of IQ, Diwu Qingrou would rather give up on potential gains than cooperate with him.

It’s easy to deal with enemies who are as fierce as wolves, but an ally who is as stupid as a pig could kill you.

Several days ago, when the man in black came to Diwu Qingrou and proposed the assassination plan, Diwu Qingrou had been wondering. Today, the assassination plan had already worked, and he finally asked the question on his mind.

“There’s definitely a reason for helping you!” said the man in black coldly. “A mere Lan Mofeng – plus the rest of Lan Clan’s forces – the strength is still too weak.”

Diwu Qing Rou nodded.

“Someone let me ask you, who are you waiting for?” asked the man in black.

Diwu Qingrou said calmly, “Since this person told you to ask me this, he already knows who I am looking for.”

The man in black felt an urge to scratch his head, but he stopped himself. He asked the most important question. “You know their identity?”

Diwu Qingrou laughed mockingly. “If I knew... would I act like this?”

The man in black couldn’t help but nod. Yes, if he had really known their identity, everything would have been settled.

“We’re doing it for your Diwu Clan! You don’t have to be cautious against us.” The man in black said this sentence as he was told.

Diwu Qingrou said indifferently, “I never doubt my allies, so long as he is not too mysterious.”

The man in black was silent. There was an anger boiling inside him.

But he didn’t let it out after all. “Tomorrow I’ll sneak attack those two from Xiao Clan and Shi Clan! I’m here to let you know.”

Diwu Qingrou nodded and said as the man expected, “Don’t kill them!”

“Of course.” The man in black smiled; his body spun and disappeared without a trace.

Diwu Qingrou stood silently without changing his posture.

After a long time, he finally shook his head.

There were countless questions in his mind but he didn’t ask any of them.

He just maintained the basic attitude of distrust.

Because the other party was too mysterious. For someone like Diwu Qingrou, mysteriousness meant danger. Diwu Qingrou would never really tell his plans to people that he didn’t know the background of.

Not to be cautious against you? How is that possible!

“Who’s the person in charge?”

“What’s his relationship with Diwu Clan?”

“Or is he using me?”

“What is he using me for?”

“If he’s not using me, what’s he helping me like this for?”

“What is it with me that can be used?”

“Can it be the law-enforcement officers?”

“Can it be Li Clan?”

“Or the people from Chu Yang’s side purposely being mysterious?”

“This matter seems on the surface to be benefiting my Diwu Clan, but in the long term, who’d be the actual benefiter? Even if Diwu Clan benefits, can there be some severe consequences?”

All these were Diwu Qingrou’s questions.

But right now, he only buried them in his heart. He didn’t even mutter to himself about it.

“Rather be a free man with no power, than a puppet of the greatest power!” Diwu Qingrou’s gaze sharpened. “Whoever you are, whatever your purpose, I’ll figure it all out sooner or later! To keep I, Diwu Qingrou, in the dark... Who in this world can do it?”

...

In the dark.

A figure in black robe stood atop a mountain, looking at the thousands of miles of white icebergs, completely still.

There were sounds of clothes fluttering in the wind.

A black figure approached like a flash of lightning.

“How was it?” asked the man in black.

“He’s discreet, and very cautious... But a bit overly cautious.” said the man in black respectfully.

“If he wasn’t cautious... Diwu Clan would have long been gone!” The man in black frowned and sighed.

After hearing the man in black talk about his journey, he said calmly, “Since he’s got plans, help with his plans on a whole! Although the start is a bit rushed, it actually... can’t afford to wait any more.”

“Understood.”

“Though he’s reserved, it’s because of our mysteriousness. There’s no need to be concerned about this.”

“Yes!”

“I’ll stay and watch the situation at the place we agreed on. Don’t look for me unless there’s something important.” The man in black robe said with his hands behind his back.

“Yes!”

“During the time that I’m gone, you all should listen to Diwu Qingrou’s command regarding everything!” said the man in black robe. “He carries my authority!”

He carries my authority!... This sentence was heavy.

Of course, the man in black knew what kind of powers the one in front of him had. Once he heard the sentence, he almost couldn’t believe his ears.

The man in black sweated all over, as he bowed down. “Yes! I’ll follow your instructions carefully, master!”

The person in black robe smiled darkly, flew up lightly and disappeared into the mist of the night.

The man in black stood up slowly. He felt very confused. He muttered, “What’s going on? What’s so extraordinary about this boy from the Diwu Clan that he actually deserves such favor from Master? Why didn’t I see anything special... Could it be... there was something between him and Master...”

Before he finished speaking, a swoosh came from the distance, and a hard slap landed on his cheek. A voice came right into his ears from a very far distance; it was extremely cold and harsh: “You’re looking for your own death!”

The man in black sweated all over. He dropped to his knees and kowtowed continuously.

“Humph!”

After a cold snort, the man in black felt like he was hit by an iron hammer in his chest. He abruptly spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed onto the floor, but he was also finally relieved.

“Once more and you may explode yourself!” f𝗿𝗲e𝒘e𝚋n૦𝘃𝙚𝑙.com

With this harsh sentence, there was no more sound between heaven and earth.

The man in black banged his head to the ground. “Understood!”

He almost fainted. Explode myself! If it happens one more time, I’d actually end up with my soul destroyed?

...

Another place within the same world.

It was still a mountainous terrain, still a completely white world clad in snow and ice!

“Le’er, how do you find it?” Wu Juecheng who dressed all in black stood with his hands behind his back as he looked at his disciple with his face full of indulgent love.

Wu Juecheng was extremely satisfied with this disciple!

Her hard work in practicing and abilities in understanding were rare in this world!

In particular, for the cultivation of poison techniques, she advanced extremely fast! Coupled with the help of extraordinary materials left by Chu Yang, she was almost going to breakthrough into Supremacy level in a short period of time!

The mist around Chu Le’er was recovered slowly, moving back into her petite body. She was silent for a moment, then said, “Teacher... Our poison techniques, if not for the secretive techniques of applying poison and the methods used, it actually feels like proper orthodox martial techniques. When I practice it, I have a just and honorable feeling!”

There was a smile in Wu Juecheng’s eyes. “Oh?”

Chu Le’er’s pink little face showed some confusion. “Poison techniques are not elegant or proper in anyone’s eyes, it should give one a bit of a dark and gloomy feeling, but it is actually practiced with such bright and straightforward martial techniques, I can’t quite understand.”

Wu Juecheng chuckled. “Girl, it’s normal that you have such thoughts, this world has always taught people as such, I won’t fault it. But, for the real Heaven’s Way in martial arts, this way of thinking is wrong!”

Chu Le’er asked, “Wrong?”

“There’s no good or evil for the techniques, but only for the people who use them!” said Wu Juecheng calmly. “You have to remember this sentence properly! If you don’t understand it, in case I am not around in the future, ask your big brother! Your big brother understands this saying particularly deeply.”

“Okay.” Chu Le’er’s face glowed. Every time anyone praised Chu Yang, Chu Le’er would be happy.

“Of course, this saying is also relative,” said Wu Juecheng, “I heard there are some techniques of foreign clans that are vastly different from humans’... Of course, their techniques are different from ours, but I haven’t seen it before...”

“If you see it in the future... Just kill all of them!”

“Yes!”

Wu Juecheng’s eyes looked into the void. He said heavily, “Let me ask you, what is practicing martial arts for?”

Chu Le’er said without thinking, “I’ve heard big brother talk about this before, practicing martial arts is for guarding the people and matters one cares about, for guarding the bottom line of being a person and one’s own responsibilities!”

“Hypocrite!” Wu Juecheng’s mouth twitched as he said harshly, “Your big brother disgusts me!”

Chu Le’er’s lips pouted. “Teacher, this is so offensive! You have to apologize to me!”

Wu Juecheng said without hesitation, “Sorry, I spoke wrongly.”

Wu Juecheng’s apology was very fluent and came very easily. Besides the lack of sincerity, there was nothing wrong with it.

One could guess that along this way, this was not the first time Master Poison Doctor apologized to his disciple like this.
