137: Tell me, where is he?

Flap!

Li Wen shook his Golden Spear and turned, saying, “Everyone, do you know why I killed them?”

Hundreds of Jianghu people shook their heads.

Li Wen, with an angry expression, loudly declared, “These two are natural villains!”

“For the sake of the strange Great Tendon, they wanted us to die for nothing!”

The Crowd of Jianghu people were bewildered.

“Great Hero Li, didn’t they ask you to avenge Song Zhe? How did it become about us dying for nothing?”

“That’s right!”

“The Noble families Song Family is famous, and Great Hero Song Zhe is even more of a timely helper.”

“Our avenging Great Hero Song can also be considered a great tale of the Jianghu!”

Li Wen sneered, “Who here can read?”

A few Jin Yi Jianghu people raised their hands.

Li Wen handed them Chu Qing’s portrait: “The person in this portrait is the so-called murderer they spoke of!”

“Read the text on it!”

The few Jin Yi Jianghu people exchanged glances and began to read aloud.

“Chu Qing, began practicing martial arts in the spring of 987!”

Hundreds of Jianghu people chuckled, “So, he only started practicing martial arts a few months ago!”

“This is just a novice!”

The Jianghu person reading also looked relaxed.

They continued to read:

“After more than ten days of practicing martial arts, he killed more than a hundred major and minor leaders, hall masters, and others from the Blood River Gang.”

The Crowd frowned.

Someone sneered, “What a killer! He just started practicing martial arts and already dares to kill?!”

“If this kind of person grows up, won’t he kill even more people?”

“After more than twenty days, because his Godmother was scolded, he annihilated over three hundred people!”

A Jianghu person was furious, “Because of a single sentence, he killed over three hundred people? That’s too much!”

Li Wen sneered and remained silent.

The Jianghu person reading frowned and continued:

“By the end of the month, he entered the Inner Courtyard of the Martial Academy!”

As soon as these words came out, The Crowd were horrified.

No one was a fool.

This group of Jianghu people had all heard about the Martial Academy’s reforms this time.

They knew that the Martial Academy’s requirements were tens, even hundreds of times stricter.

Those who could enter the Martial Academy this year either had a very, very strong background or possessed extraordinary talent and powerful strength.

This year, even the Noble families Song Family had no one who could enter the Inner Courtyard of the Martial Academy.

Chu Qing, could he enter the Inner Courtyard?

Did he… rely on his background? Or his strength?

The sneering Jianghu person’s expression became serious.

The angry Jianghu person wished he could immediately retract his previous words.

“Chu Qing, on the day he entered the Martial Academy, killed hundreds of Fortified Manor gang members!”

“The next day, he brought the Martial Instructor out of the Martial Academy and beheaded him at the Martial Academy’s entrance!”

“Later, he annihilated the entire He Family Stronghold and two other families!”

At this moment, hundreds of Jianghu people were terrified and uneasy.

Those who had just called Chu Qing excessive were now sweating profusely.

What kind of joke was this?

Wubao Disciples were arrogant and domineering; even they, the Jianghu people, didn’t want to provoke them.

Chu Qing actually annihilated three Fortified Manors?

This method was Heaven-Defying.

As for dragging the Martial Instructor to the entrance and killing him, that was an unprecedented event.

How dare he do such a thing?

Was he still an ordinary Martial Academy student?

Even people from the Great Noble families would need a thousand and one reasons to kill a Martial Instructor.

Chu Qing… didn’t even look for a reason?

The Jianghu person reading was sweating on his forehead and said in a trembling voice:

“Chu Qing, after practicing martial arts for several months, the rebel Zheng Zhixiang dispatched a large army to encircle and suppress him; this person, by himself, spent three hours beheading thousands of rebels.”

“At that time, the corpses piled up like mountains!”

“Afterward, he bathed in the mountain of corpses and changed clothes in the sea of blood!”

One person, beheading thousands of rebels?

Bathing in a mountain of corpses?

Changing clothes in a sea of blood?

They couldn’t even imagine such a scene.

At this moment, no one called Chu Qing a killer anymore.

This was clearly a butcher, a God of Slaughter.

Hundreds of Jianghu people remained silent.

All were immersed in Chu Qing’s past deeds.

At this point, they finally realized why Li Wen had killed the two messengers.

Because:

Fear!

Who would dare to seek revenge against someone like Chu Qing?

Annihilating entire families at the slightest provocation.

Killing thousands of people without hesitation or a soft heart.

This kind of person… cannot be provoked.

At this moment, a Jianghu person suddenly rushed to the two corpses and swung his saber, hacking.

Crack!

Flesh ripped open.

Immediately after, he let out a loud roar:

“These two evil scoundrels and ruffians slandered Master Qing; they deserve to die!”

“What kind of status does Master Qing have? How could he make things difficult for a small fry like Song Zhe?”

The other Jianghu people also rushed over, taking turns to hack at the two messengers’ corpses.

They cursed them for being shameless and evil.

By the time the last person finished chopping, the two messengers’ corpses were reduced to a bloody pulp.

Golden Spear Li Wen coughed and said, “Everyone, the people who wanted to frame us have been killed.”

“It’s time for us to go look for the strange Great Tendon.”

The other Jianghu people nodded.

“Great Hero Li, which direction should we search in?”

“The scoundrel who stole the Great Tendon must have gone far from the Eight Hundred Li Shui Po.”

“Right!”

The Crowd pointed in various directions, with everyone suggesting a different place.

But, not a single one suggested going to the Eight Hundred Li Shui Po.

Li Wen nodded and said, “In that case, everyone, let’s go!”

He led The Crowd of Jianghu people directly back to the county town.

Then… he forcibly demanded that the soldiers close the city gates.

And then… the Alliance of hundreds of people immediately disbanded.

As for the strange Great Tendon?

Heh heh… With Chu Qing around, they didn’t even dare to think about it… As night fell, on the island:

Tang Wuming hosted a banquet for Chu Qing.

Chu Qing drank wine, but very little.

There were also women singing and dancing, but he had no interest in watching.

Instead, he kept looking through the messages Tang Wuming handed him.

At Chu Qing’s suggestion:

Tang Wuming sent out all ten thousand of his subordinates to gather information.

Soon:

All sorts of information was compiled.

Tang Wuming and Miss Xu personally organized the information.

Chu Qing looked through it.

It gave him a headache.

“You all need to intensify the investigation!”

“I’ll rest for a bit!”

With that, he got up and left without waiting for Tang Wuming to try and make him stay.

Watching Chu Qing leave, Miss Xu softly said, “Brother Tang, he… is too arrogant!”

Tang Wuming shook his head and said, “No, he’s not arrogant at all!”

“If I had his ability, I would be even more arrogant than him!”

Miss Xu was puzzled.

Tang Wuming explained, “Chu Qing began practicing martial arts in early spring, and in just two or three months, he achieved Perfected Gold Tendons.”

“Now, he’s starting to forge his bones.”

“Although he hasn’t said it, I feel that he’s definitely forging Golden Bone.”

“How long has he been practicing martial arts? How old is he? With his current achievements, how can he not be arrogant?”

Miss Xu didn’t know about things like Golden Tendons or Golden Bone.

She silently organized the information, sharing Tang Wuming’s burden.

This night:

Tang Wuming stayed awake all night.

His subordinates also stayed awake all night.

And the reason they weren’t allowed to sleep was entirely Chu Qing’s idea.

Staying up all night, and still having to work the next day.

Whether it was Tang Wuming or the ordinary rebels, their tempers grew much more irritable.

To quickly fulfill Chu Qing’s demands and to get some rest as soon as possible, their work style became increasingly rough.

In the Late Stage, as soon as someone grumbled or resisted, this group of rebels would swarm them and kill them with their blades.

Under these circumstances, regardless of whether you were from a wealthy family or Wubao Disciples.

They dared to chop people down.

As a result, efficiency greatly improved.

And at this time:

Chu Qing had been cultivating in the quiet room.

During this period, although he was traveling and searching for dragon tendon.

However, he had not given up on the Black Water Bone Forging Method.

Chu Qing understood that his own strength was the ultimate truth.

As long as he was strong enough, he could obtain everything.

If he was weak, he would lose everything.

At dusk:

Chu Qing forged another Golden Bone.

At this point, he had twenty Golden Bone.

His inner foundation was depleted.

He did not rush to shatter the twenty-first bone, but instead repeatedly activated the Black Water Bone Forging Method and Toad Skill, consuming Secret medicine to repair the deficit.

Just then, an urgent knock on the door sounded:

“Qing Ge, the Peddler has been found.”

Bang!

Chu Qing got up and directly smashed through the door.

He grabbed Tang Wuming by the collar and roared, “Tell me, where is he?”
