Ch 140: Celestial Mechanism Valley’s Deadly Formation

Luochenshan Villa and the Heavenly Evil Cult’s clash, the timing is crucial.

Chu Qing had previously predicted that the Heavenly Mechanism Order was bait thrown out by the Heavenly Evil Cult, and Celestial Mechanism Valley was the fish trap to lure in the fish.

At the right time, the Heavenly Evil Cult would inevitably tell these fish the location of the ‘trap’, so that they would throw themselves into the net.

Only, what the right time was, Chu Qing did not know at the time.

But now he knew.

There should be two reasons why the Heavenly Evil Cult has been slow to act.

One is that within Luochenshan Villa, the gathering of martial world figures needs to reach a certain scale.

Otherwise, they would not be able to achieve their purpose of awakening the Heavenly Demon Robe.

And this point, in fact, was already achieved when the Martial Arts Competition for Marriage began today.

They did not act at that time because they still had to achieve a second purpose… to contact the Mirror of Retribution.

Sang Qing appeared tonight for this matter, and ended up in Chu Qing’s hands.

Now that Sang Qing has not returned on time, Zang Hansheng sensed something was amiss, and immediately understood that he could not delay any longer, and directly revealed the location of Celestial Mechanism Valley, so that these ‘fish’ who had long been fascinated by the scent of the bait would immediately go to the fish trap.

However, from this perspective, the Mirror of Retribution’s hiding place is probably deeper than expected.

As brilliant as the Heavenly Evil Cult is, they can only use such a clumsy method to contact the Mirror of Retribution… instead of directly finding the Mirror of Retribution’s Main Headquarters, telling them, those who obey me prosper, those who defy me perish.

The thought flashed through his mind, and he heard Wen Fusheng say:

“It has come… but this timing is not bad either?”

Chu Qing nodded:

“From Sang Qing’s mouth, we can basically confirm the situation in Celestial Mechanism Valley. Although those people are mesmerized by the Heavenly Mechanism Order, we don’t need them to believe us completely. We just need to tell them what we know…”

“When they arrive at Celestial Mechanism Valley, they will naturally understand.

“Villa Master Wen, you stay here, gather them, lead them to Celestial Mechanism Valley, and let them have what they desire.

“I’ll go ahead, the Yellow Springs Powder in Heavenly Mechanism Tower is, after all, somewhat troublesome.”

The Heavenly Evil Cult’s deployment in Heavenly Mechanism Tower is not extensive, but it is deadly.

Especially this Yellow Springs Powder, once it is touched, it will cause a big problem.

Now he does not have much antidote on him, and even if he did, it would not be enough for so many people to use.

At that time, there will be many people in Celestial Mechanism Valley, and even if they clearly tell them about the Yellow Springs Powder, it is hard to say whether there will be any clever people who will act rashly.

Wen Fusheng’s brows furrowed slightly, feeling that it was still somewhat perilous for Chu Qing to go to Celestial Mechanism Valley alone.

But now is not the time to be indecisive, so he immediately nodded:

“Good, that’s it, I will be responsible for the affairs of the Villa, you go and deal with Celestial Mechanism Valley.”

“Has the letter to Tie Lingyun been sent?”

“I have already arranged for someone to send it by express, and now it is probably already in Tie Lingyun’s hands… but it is estimated that these people will not arrive until after dawn at the earliest.”

Chu Qing recalled the situation in Divine Blade City:

“If everything goes smoothly, it might just be in time.

“Besides acting as a surprise force, we must also guard against those martial world ruffians.”

“Understood.”

Wen Fusheng nodded:

“Be careful, if things are not going well, protect your life first and wait for this old man to come.”

“Definitely have to wait for you… how can they give up without seeing the experts of the Heavenly Evil Cult?”

Chu Qing smiled, bowed to Wen Fusheng.

Immediately after, he tapped his foot, and his figure passed like blue smoke, and in a flash, he had already disappeared from Wen Fusheng’s presence.

“How fast his legs are.”

Wen Fusheng was startled, but quickly composed himself and began to give orders:

“Pass the order, let Second Master, Miss Tie, and the second Miss go to the Treasure Pavilion to wait for me.

“Rearrange Miss Tie’s residence, it must be secret, and must not be known to others.

“Go and invite the disciples of Taiyi Gate, and the Third Young Master’s friends to the front of the Treasure Pavilion.

“Notify the Starlight Guard, send more men to the Treasure Pavilion…”

One order after another was issued, Wen Fusheng strode towards the Treasure Pavilion.

Now, his ‘assassination’ is no longer the key, the decisive battle is imminent, and it is time to appear in front of people.

…

…

Chu Qing really did speed up this time, using the Feixu Qingyan Skill all the way, his figure was like fleeting light and shadow, and from a distance, he looked like a wisp of smoke floating in the mountains and fields.

The disciples in the Back Mountain Forbidden Zone only vaguely saw a wisp of blue smoke flash past, and when they looked closely, it had already disappeared from sight.

They almost thought they were having hallucinations.

In a short while, Chu Qing had already arrived before the cliff edge guarded by Wen Pingce.

He did not greet Wen Pingce, his figure flickered and he flew past Wen Pingce.

Wen Pingce turned his head sharply, but there was no shadow beside him, and when he looked up again, he saw Chu Qing leaping in the air, stepping through the void, his figure so fast that it seemed like a wisp of blue smoke.

He was speechless for a moment:

“Fourth Brother is about to become a god!!”

Chu Qing did not know what Wen Pingce was thinking, he used the Golden Goose Skill to step in the air, and from this high place, he looked back and up, and could see Tian Xing Mountain.

However, this terrain should have been repaired and laid out by the Celestial Mechanism Recluse.

As a result, even standing on Tian Xing Mountain, looking down at the location of Celestial Mechanism Valley, they couldn’t see where Celestial Mechanism Valley was.

It has to be said that this move is indeed brilliant.

The Old Beggar’s sentence ‘Four Seasons Conceal Celestial Mechanism, Changes Incorporate Empty Valley’ is also true to its name.

When Chu Qing landed, following the previous traces, in a moment he had already found the small waterfall.

He did not rashly enter, but listened carefully, there was no sound inside, it seemed to be empty.

However, Dong Xingzhi’s lesson was in front of him, and Sang Qing had also reminded him about the puppet corpse, Chu Qing understood that even without breathing, it did not mean there was no danger.

Therefore, he did not dawdle, his figure turned like a wisp of smoke, slipped through the gap, and when he stood still, he had already arrived inside the waterfall cave.

The cave was empty, there was no ambush as expected.

Chu Qing didn’t care, according to his previous memory, he came to the door, pushed the mechanism, and revealed the keyhole.

He fumbled in his bosom and took out the key.

He observed the keyhole, it was a long one.

Chu Qing pondered slightly, bent the key, and compared it to the keyhole, it was a perfect fit.

He inserted the key, turned it gently, and heard a click, the mechanism at the beginning of the key had been activated, he gently turned it, and it turned half a circle without any resistance.

There was a ‘ding’ sound.

The next moment, the sound of the mechanism gears turning came from the wall.

The key popped out at this time, the stone wall in front of him slowly fell, and a dark passage appeared before him.

Chu Qing circulated the Mingyu True Scripture, and for a moment his hearing and vision were sharp, and he took out the antidote for the Yellow Springs Powder from his bosom, put one under his tongue, and then stepped into the passage.

The passage was silent, a needle could be heard dropping.

Chu Qing’s footsteps were even lighter, his steps were completely silent.

He walked steadily forward for a while, about thirty to fifty meters, and he heard a sound.

It was breathing, although very faint, but it was indeed there.

Concentrating to listen, the sound was not just from one place… it was distributed around in front, and there were a total of seven people in front and behind.

Chu Qing’s eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:

“Want to ambush me?”

He had originally planned to sneak in, but now… he could only change to a ‘domineering’ infiltration method.

As his mind turned, his footsteps became even quieter, and after another seven or eight meters, he saw the outline of the cave.

Looking out, starlight was faintly visible.

The next moment, Chu Qing suddenly exerted force.

His whole body was like a wisp of blue smoke, directly rushing out from the cave entrance.

This movement did indeed arouse the alertness of the ambushers, but when they jumped out of their hiding place, Chu Qing had already leaped into the air.

Looking down, there were indeed seven people.

Each of them was wearing a gray robe, and they looked at the cave with cold faces, preparing to launch an attack.

But some people were also alert, turning their heads to look at Chu Qing in mid-air.

But the next moment, Chu Qing drew his sword!

The Golden Goose Skill turned, and his figure suddenly swirled and fell from mid-air, the sword following the person, the person and the sword becoming one.

The person on the ground had not yet had time to change his expression, when he saw a wisp of blue smoke carrying the sharpness, flashing past him.

He wanted to turn his head, but as soon as he moved, his head did not turn around, but instead rolled to the ground with a thud!

The remaining few people only then realized what had happened.

But before they could react, they saw Chu Qing’s figure flashing continuously, six times in a row, before he stood still.

A click.

It was the sound of the blade returning to its sheath, Chu Qing did not turn back, but directly walked along the road.

Behind him, the six gray-robed men fell to the ground one by one.

Only when they fell to the ground did their heads roll down from their necks.

Chu Qing did not turn back, not only because of his confidence… but because his sword strike was a full-power strike.

Although he used the Sixteen Paths of Shocking Evil Blade, he also incorporated the sharpness of the fast sword.

The sword style was simple and direct, abandoning all unnecessary details, maximizing his speed and the power of his blade technique.

If they didn’t die after such a sharp blade passed, then the Heavenly Evil Cult would not need to hide anymore, they could directly trample the martial world, and no one in the world could resist their sharpness.

“After killing them all, no one should know that I sneaked in.”

Chu Qing walked not far, his eyes narrowed slightly.

The vegetation was lush around, and when he came to the edge, it was a cliff, and at a position about ten meters across, there was another cliff.

Between the two cliffs was Celestial Mechanism Valley.

The space above was shaded by trees, and below was a different world.

Following a path down, a not-small space could be seen in the middle of the mountain wall.

Pavilions and towers were readily available, and at the end was a tall building built against the mountain.

This building was very large, and it stood out among the buildings.

Chu Qing’s eyes settled, and he already understood:

“That must be Heavenly Mechanism Tower!”

He took out the blueprint drawn by Wen Fusheng from his bosom and compared it to the pavilions and towers in Celestial Mechanism Valley.

Recalling what Sang Qing had said when he was recounting the scene in Celestial Mechanism Valley…

He said that the buildings in Celestial Mechanism Valley were not meaningless.

Celestial Mechanism Recluse used the empty valley to create a formation, and each building had a function. As a whole, it was both a killing formation and a maze.

The fog was heavy and the killing intent was hidden!

This formation was called: Celestial Mechanism Valley!

Chu Qing did not enter from the main gate, if he had entered from the main gate of Celestial Mechanism Valley, he would have seen that there was not only a stone stele of Celestial Mechanism Valley inside the gate.

The stele also had two lines of characters written on it 【 Absolute Formation Celestial Mechanism Valley, Life and Death Beyond the Heavens 】.

The first sentence says that Celestial Mechanism Valley is an absolute formation, Sang Qing did not know what the second sentence says.

The Heavenly Evil Cult suspects that the Life and Death Beyond the Heavens Bridge may be related to some factions from the Celestial Mechanism Recluse’s era.

However, these things have not been passed down, the time is too long, and who can verify them?

Chu Qing studied the blueprint for a while:

“The mysteries of the absolute formation have long been solved, the methods of entry and exit, the defensive positions… are all clear.

“Now I just have to see how much of what Sang Qing said is true and how much is false.”

Putting away the paper, Chu Qing leaped, like a wisp of blue smoke, stepping into Celestial Mechanism Valley.

At the same time, in front of the Treasure Pavilion.

Luochenshan Villa had already gathered a large number of people.

Besides the densely packed Starlight Guard and Luochenshan Villa disciples standing on the Treasure Pavilion,

Wenrou, Bian Cheng, Mo Duxing, Hua Jinnian, Wen Kaiyuan, Wen Keren, etc., were all present…

Wen Fusheng stood with his hands behind his back, standing in front, looking out, he could hear the clamor like water accumulating, gradually increasing.

Clusters of torchlight surged up from the lower three floors, like a fire dragon winding upwards in the dark night.

Some of the people present had serious expressions, while others were still somewhat confused.

Bian Cheng gently tugged at Wenrou’s sleeve.

Wenrou silently looked at him.

“What’s going on?”

Bian Cheng asked in a low voice:

“Why is it so tense? Also, didn’t your father get injured? He doesn’t look like it.”

Wenrou knew something about the current situation, but not much.

As for Wen Fusheng’s injury, she did know, but it was too troublesome to explain.

Therefore, after a moment of silence, she decided not to answer him.

Hua Jinnian glanced around:

“Why don’t I see the Third Young Master? Something’s not right, the Third Young Master’s absence makes me nervous.”

“Humph! With me here, everything will be fine!”

Mo Duxing spoke calmly, his tone still that of a carefree and indifferent manner, not taking anyone in the world seriously.

Hua Jinnian felt very relieved when he heard this:

“Brother Mo is indeed deeply hidden.”

Mo Duxing slowly closed his eyes, holding his sword in his arms, although he was among the crowd, he inexplicably emitted a lonely aura.

No one in the world knows me, so what if there are thousands of people in the sea?

Perhaps the aura was too arrogant, so much so that Wen Fusheng couldn’t help but turn his head to look at him, his heart skipping a beat.

Everyone thought this person was unfathomable.

“Wen Fusheng, hand over the Heavenly Mechanism Order!”

A shout came at this time, and a figure was seen stepping on the moon in mid-air, and in a blink of an eye, he had already arrived before everyone.

In mid-air, a palm strike was already coming.

The palm technique was fierce and powerful, the wind rose in all directions, causing the clothes of everyone present to flutter.

Upon closer inspection, it could be seen that the person’s palm seemed to be smeared with a layer of gold powder, glittering with golden light.

As he struck out with his palm, a huge golden palm shadow vaguely fell towards Wen Fusheng.

While saying that they should hand over the Heavenly Mechanism Order, they were doing something to kill and steal treasure.
