Eternal Sword

Chapter 238 Taipu Temple

Chen Tang pondered and said, "Brother, if things are impossible, you might as well give in and endure. As long as people are alive, there is hope."

"My cultivation is not strong enough now, so I can't help you. When I have cultivated myself well and come back, I will definitely help you kill these evil spirits!"

Yuan Qingshan nodded and said nothing.

Chen Tang vaguely felt that Yuan Qingshan had become disheartened and might even be ready to die.

He said again: "I have been practicing for less than a year. Give me ten years and I will definitely be able to practice to the level of a Grandmaster, or even go one step further and reach the level of a Grandmaster!"

Ten years later, Chen Tang was only 28 years old. To become a Grandmaster at this age was simply a fantasy, let alone a Grandmaster of the Transformation Realm.

Even Emperor Wu of the previous dynasty did not reach the highest level until he was forty years old.

Chen Tang was also unsure in his heart, and he made such a bold statement just to give Yuan Qingshan confidence.

"Junior brother, I believe in you."

Yuan Qingshan smiled and changed the subject, saying, "By the way, before you leave, don't forget to go see Qingmu and say goodbye to her."

Chen Tang was silent.

Given the current situation of Qian State, it is inevitable that Yuan Qingshan will lose power.

Without Yuan Qingshan's protection, he could only go to Nanxia to be relatively safe.

After this separation, I don’t know when we will meet again.

Chen Tang took a deep breath and said, "I'll go back and get ready. I'll come see you again before I leave."

"No need."

Yuan Qingshan shook his head and said, "Decide on a day to leave, don't tell anyone, and don't come to see me again."

Chen Tang was silent for a while before he nodded and walked out the door.

"Junior brother..."

Just as Chen Tang reached the door, Yuan Qingshan called him again.

Chen Tang turned around and looked back.

Yuan Qingshan didn't say anything, but just looked at Chen Tang quietly, lost in thought.

"Senior brother?"

Chen Tang called out softly.

Yuan Qingshan seemed to come back to his senses, waved his hand with some ease, and said with a smile: "Nothing, let's go!"

Chen Tang turned around and left only after he saw Yuan Qingshan had turned his back.

After leaving the palace, Chen Tang did not go to find Qing Mu first, but went to Taifu Temple in the inner city.

Taipu Temple was in charge of the animal husbandry of war horses.

The Minister of the Imperial Household was Li Yan from Wu'an County.

Not long after Chen Tang arrived in Beijing, he sent Hu Leibao to the Imperial Household Department to help take care of him, and he wanted to visit this old friend on the way.

However, after the battle in the capital arena, Li Yan went out on business and was unable to see him at that time.

Chen Tang came here this time with the intention of secretly sending Hu Leibao out of the city first, and then find a chance to leave.

Otherwise, he would be too conspicuous if he rode out of the city on a Hu Lei Bao.

"Master Chen."

The guard at the door recognized Chen Tang and bowed quickly.

After all, during this period, the most popular person in the capital was Chen Tang.

Chen Tang asked, "Is Lord Li back?"

"I'm back, but..."

The man looked embarrassed and said hesitantly: "Lord Temple Minister is receiving guests in the inner courtyard, Lord Chen, please look..."

"Oh?"

Chen Tang was slightly startled and said, "Sorry to bother you. I have nothing to do. Just go to the temple and bring the horse out."

"I'll take you there right now."

The guard nodded.

With Chen Tang's identity, he didn't need any paperwork to take his horse away.

Chen Tang followed the guards into the Taifu Temple and asked casually, "Who is coming?"

"It seems to be an elder of Xuantian Sect, his last name is Qu."

The guard said. "Hmm?"

Chen Tang paused and frowned slightly.

It’s the Xuantian Sect again.

Chen Tang said: "Where are they? Take me there."

The guard looked hesitant and said, "This... I'm afraid it's not a good idea. Do you want me to report it first?"

"Need not."

Chen Tang smiled and said, "We are all old acquaintances."

……

Taipu Temple.

The main hall of the inner courtyard.

In the main seat opposite the door, in addition to Li Yan, there was also an old man in his sixties sitting there. He was wearing a Taoist robe, with long fluttering beard and holding a whisk in his hand, looking quite like an immortal.

This person is none other than Elder Qu, one of the ten elders of Xuantian Sect.

On both sides of the main hall, there were many disciples of Xuantian Sect standing, some of them were Xuanshi and some were warriors of Xuantian Sect.

"Master Li."

Elder Qu said, "Before, only a few of my disciples came to visit us, which seemed to be a lack of sincerity. Today, I came to visit you in person, but you still refuse to agree?"

Li Yan smiled kindly and said, "I am deeply honored to have Elder Qu here. However, I really have no intention of joining Xuantian Sect, and I am sorry for Elder Qu's kindness."

Elder Qu said calmly: "You have seen what has happened in various parts of Qian Country during this period. Xuantian Immortal Venerable is the will of heaven manifested in the world. Only by believing in Xuantian Immortal Venerable and joining Xuantian Sect can we avoid danger."

"Now the emperor is stubborn and self-willed, going his own way, and defying heaven, which has led to his punishment. Lord Li, you must not follow in his footsteps."

These words had a threatening tone.

Li Yan's expression remained unchanged. He picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and sighed, "Alas, Li is old and will not live for many more years. He knows everything about Buddhism and Taoism...

Elder Qu interrupted him without hesitation, saying, "When people get old, they need to have something to believe in. Only in this way can they have a good end!"

This sentence is already a naked threat!
"hehe."

At this moment, a scornful laugh was heard outside the main hall.

A tall man appeared, holding a long sword in his hand, and walked over with big strides, saying: "Kong Cong believed in Xuantian Immortal Venerable, how come he didn't have a good end?"

Kong Cong is Elder Qu’s disciple!

When Elder Qu saw the person coming, his face darkened and his eyes showed murderous intent.

Chen Tang!

Before he finished speaking, Chen Tang had already walked into the main hall.

The Xuantian Sect disciples on both sides looked unhappy and stepped forward to try to stop them.

"Go away!"

Chen Tang shouted coldly.

Canglang!

Chen Tang flicked his thumb lightly, and 'Wan Gu' was slightly unsheathed, revealing only a small half of the blade, which gave off a bone-chilling chill!
All the Xuantian Sect disciples couldn't help but shudder.

Thinking about the fact that this person dared to kill Kong Cong in front of the emperor, their eldest senior brother who was also Elder Qu’s most proud disciple, which one of them is good enough?
In a flash, all the Xuantian Sect disciples were overwhelmed by Chen Tang's reputation and subconsciously took a half step back.

Chen Tang walked straight through the crowd without stopping and came directly in front of Li Yan and Elder Qu!
"You still dare to come see me?"

Elder Qu narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at Chen Tang in front of him, and spoke in a serious voice.

Chen Tang grinned and said, "I'm a very courageous person, what is there to be afraid of?"

Of course Elder Qu wanted to kill Chen Tang.

But now, it's not the time.

As long as the emperor falls, this boy will be like a fish on the chopping board and can be slaughtered at will!
There is no need to take action in the Taifu Temple and give people something to talk about.

Elder Qu quickly calmed down, smiled slightly, and asked, "What does Chen Taibao believe in?"

"I don't believe in anything."

Chen Tang held the knife horizontally and said slowly: "Just trust the knife in your hand!"

He killed Kong Cong, and the two sides had already had a grudge against each other.

So Chen Tang had no worries when coming here this time.
