Chapter 22: Pride and Genius, Disciple of the Martial Saint



"I see."

Shen Xingzhu nodded slightly and asked slowly:

"Does that mean that from now on, you will be the only one guarding this prison?"

Qingcuo nodded:

"The rest of the Black Armored Guards are currently engaged in a fierce battle with Liang cultivators on the front lines and are temporarily unable to leave."

"General Li left me with sole responsibility."

Shen Xingzhu stared at him for a while and said:

"Since General Li trusts you, it must mean that you are reliable and responsible. Don't let her down."

After saying this, he turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared into the night.

Qingcuo stood there, his shoulders slumped slightly, as if he was relieved.

He turned his head, and his scarlet eyes behind the visor looked at the heavy iron gate of the sky prison. He walked to the wall and stood there silently.

After a while, I made sure that there was no one around.

Then he quietly took out a wrinkled and yellowed paper crane from the gap in his armor, took a look at it, and then carefully put it back.

The paper crane seemed to be very old, with some blurred words visible on it.

It's just that it has never been opened, so it's become a mess and I can no longer see what's written on it.

Inside the cell.

Chen Kuang widened his eyes and lowered his voice:

"You bribed the Black Armor Guards?"

Huo Hengxuan snorted coldly and remained silent.

Chen Kuang smiled somewhat sullenly, thinking that it was unlikely that such a low-level method of bribery would be used.

This guess was a bit insulting to both Li Hongling's personal guards and Daliang's generals.

Actually, it’s not difficult to guess.

There is only one possible reason why the Black Armor Guards could turn against us in such an advantageous situation.

Those are the Black Armor Guards, they are one of us!

In other words, among Li Hongling's personal guards, there is an undercover agent planted by Huo Hengxuan, and a Mission Impossible scene is being staged at this moment!

Chen Kuang really didn't expect that there would be such a trick to cut off the source of the problem.

This old guy's back-up plan was ridiculous. He kept it secret for so many days without revealing any information to him.

He was both impressed and curious. "General Huo, Li Hongling is only 28 years old this year. She became famous ten years ago, and most of her personal guards have been with her since then. That's why she has always trusted her."

"Could it be that you have already predicted the current situation since she was eighteen?"

Huo Hengxuan continued to snort coldly:

"Why, isn't it an old thing, an old bitch?"

These days, Chen Kuang often asks Huo Hengxuan some very "common sense" questions without hesitation, and then combines them with the experience he has learned in his mind to make up for his own understanding of practitioners.

Otherwise, he would not know the importance of "Tao" to practitioners.

It can be said that Huo Hengxuan’s teachings played a key role in Chen Kuang’s ability to break Shen Xingzhu’s Dao heart.

During this process, Chen Kuang was often dissatisfied with the old man's love of being a riddle teller, always asking "guess", which made Chen Kuang lose all his previous pride.

Chen Kuang was so angry that he sometimes spoke without thinking and said everything he was thinking.

As to whether it was intentional or accidental.

Chen Kuang could only say that he was careless on purpose...

Anyway, Huo Hengxuan didn't really care at all. He even seemed to enjoy seeing Chen Kuang's defenses broken and he could only scold him.

Chen Kuang blinked his eyes: "General Huo must have heard it wrong. In this cell, I respect you the most."

He teased, "If it weren't for me, the little princess would still be calling you grandpa."

“…”

Huo Hengxuan's face suddenly darkened.

The little princess is only four years old and her cognition is not yet complete.

That time he mocked Chen Kuang for having evil intentions and wanting to become the new emperor.

As a result, the little princess didn't know what to call him, and was led astray by Chen Kuang, so she called him "Grandpa".

Now, Chen Kuang wants to be the new emperor, and Huo Hengxuan directly wants to be the emperor emeritus.

Chen Kuang immediately laughed fiercely, and then was almost killed by Huo Hengxuan's murderous illusion.

Of course, Huo Hengxuan also mastered the right measure.

According to him, proper training in the murderous illusion will help strengthen the spiritual consciousness and will be beneficial for concentrating the soul in the future.

Chen Kuang just couldn't believe it no matter how he heard it.

Huo Hengxuan stopped arguing with Chen Kuang and said in a deep voice with a blank expression:

"There are geniuses in this world who don't appear for a thousand years. Once they do, they crush everything that stands in their way, forcing a phoenix to lose its nest and a dragon to break its horn, mercilessly crushing the dignity of all cultivators."

“There are also geniuses who are hard to come by in a century. Once they are blessed with good fortune, they soar like a roc striking the water, unstoppable.”

"And Li Hongling, having reached the Denglou realm at the age of eighteen, was able to cultivate her physical body horizontally and break the ridge of Wushu Mountain with a single punch."

Wushu Mountain is a big mountain that lies across the border between Zhou and Liang!

Breaking the mountain ridge with one punch...

Chen Kuang was silent. He once again had a new understanding of this advanced martial arts world.

"Li Hongling isn't a genius, but she's a rare talent that only appears once in a century."

The old man's eyes were deep:

"Ten years ago, she broke a mountain ridge with her fist and stood on the border of Zhou and Liang, stepping on the remains of the mountain, declaring that one day, she would be able to enter Liang Kingdom as if it were no one's land."

"At that time, I knew that if I didn't break her spine now, the beam would be destroyed by her hands in the future."

He made no secret of the fact that he had intended to break the spine of a genius ten years ago.

And the facts proved that... he was right.

It was Li Hongling who brought about this disaster that destroyed the country.

Chen Kuang said: "Then why didn't you take action at that time?"

Huo Hengxuan glanced at him and said, "Li Hongling is the disciple of Martial Saint Mu Zhao."

oh……

There is someone behind.
