Chapter 1123 The Plan (1/2)

Chu Qing stood in the air, golden shuttles zipping around him like birds. The shuttles gave off extremely deadly auras, leaving tears behind in the fabric of space as they passed by.

Chu Qing stood at the center of the battlefield, making it very easy for his enemies to surround and attack him. However, every Genesis Qi attack that arrived was swiftly shattered by the golden shuttles.

There was a focused look on his face as the golden shuttles occasionally shot forth, turning into deadly flashes of gold that pierced the Sacred Palace experts.

Although the battle was currently in a deadlock, Chu Qing did not dare to relax. Instead, his brows knitted together a little. The Sacred Race team had yet to enter the battlefield.

“Attack!” Another small group of advanced Heavenly Sun experts charged towards him an assault formation.

But before Chu Qing could respond, azure smoke surged out from behind him. Countless sparks blossomed in the smoke as torrents of fire swept through it, smashing into the advanced Heavenly Sun experts.

Boom!

The advanced Heavenly Sun experts were blown away back the explosions, their bodies charred black by the fire.

Chu Qing turned his head, and saw azure smoke condense into a figure.

It was a middle-aged man, bare-footed and with a pipe in his hand. He looked like a farmer working in the fields.

When Chu Qing saw him, he cupped his fists together. “Senior brother Mu Wuji.”

Zhou Yuan would definitely be surprised if he was here, because Mu Wuji was also an old acquaintance of his. Mu Wuji was the one who guided Zhou Yuan to the Cangxuan Sect after leaving the Cangmang Continent.

Back then, Mu Wuji had been at the Divine Dwelling stage, but had now reached the peak of the Heavenly Sun stage after several years of cultivation. He was one of the Cagnxuan Sect’s strongest Heavenly Sun experts.

Mu Wuji gazed at the chaotic battlefield with a grave expression. “Junior brother Chu Qing, the Sacred Palace practitioners are fighting far too desperately. Something feels wrong. Moreover, the Sacred Race team has yet to move.”

Chu Qing nodded. “I’m afraid this will be our final battle.”

Mu Wuji’s heart sank.

Chu Qing slowly said, “I’ve already made preparations with junior sister Qingchan. Once things turn sour, she will escape and scatter with the Cangxuan Sect disciples. As for the others, there’s not much we can do.”

“What about you?” asked Mu Wuji.

Chu Qing grinned. “I’ll be staying behind of course to accompany that traitor Li Xuan.”

Mu Wuji could see the killing intent in Chu Qing’s eyes. He clearly intended to perish together with Li Xuan. After all, Li Xuan was the main reason for Cangxuan Heaven’s current predicament.

“Whose the first?” asked Chu Qing.

“That brat Zhou Yuan, of course. Heh, I was the one who guided him into the sect back then.” Mu Wuji felt somewhat proud. However, he soon realized something and glared at Chu Qing. “Don’t change the topic!”

Chu Qing chuckled. “Junior brother Zhou Yuan huh, I can accept that. After all, he’s the first person to gather all seven Cangxuan arts.”

However, as he watched Mu Wuji’s face slowly turn stern, Chu Qing could only helplessly say, “Senior brother, I have to stay behind. Otherwise, even less of the Cangxuan Sect disciples will be able to escape.

“I also wish to be useful to the sect in the future, but the situation does not allow it.

“No one else can stop Li Xuan. Moreover, the two Sacred Race captains have yet to move. They seem to enjoy watching us kill each other, or maybe, they feel it is beneath them…”

Mu Wuji fell silent as sorrow filled his face.

“We truly were frogs watching the sky from the well that is Cangxuan Heaven...there’s just too huge of a gap between Cangxuan Heaven and the other heavens.”

Chu Qing sighed. There was nothing he could do about this. Cangxuan Heaven’s weakness was not something that could be changed in the short term unless they could produce an expert that could stand at the apex even among all the heavens. Only such an existence would be able to change Cangxuan Heaven’s current situation.

But Chu Qing understood it was not practical to believe in such a possibility.
