Who let him join the Sword Sect?!
Chapter 1022 - 496: Drink More Hot Water, and the Immortal of Saving Face_2
This matter is also a heart's desire of the Sect Leader, considering last time Aunt Mo went ahead, at the cost of nearly annihilating her form, she pushed a little forward.
While the Sect Leader stayed behind at the Sword Sect.
Now, with this perfect opportunity, not trying would certainly become his heart demon.
Zhang Ze, "So..."
Chen Qianhu, "Cough, although I can't see you, don't pull a long face. I'm not here to entrust my last words, the Sword Sect in the future... forget it, let's not talk about it, anyway, listen to me about another matter.
"It's a serious matter."
The Sect Leader was silent for a moment, seemingly organizing his thoughts, and after a while, he spoke.
"I also mentioned earlier, even without the Acquired Dao Body technique, this place beyond the heavens, due to the absence of celestial interference, is actually a superb cultivation spot.
"Xiao Jing is not truly an idiot, otherwise, he wouldn't have stirred such a thundering disaster.
"But since the great war years ago until now, that left hand has made no progress at all, in fact, now it's completely overshadowed by me, this is a very strange occurrence no matter how you think about it.
"And this while he has been observing the Four Continents through the Hundred Demons Sect for so long."
Chen Qianhu paused before continuing.
"Furthermore, there's the issue with the left hand itself; though it's unclear how he achieved it, I'd speculate that it's likely based on the corpse dissolution and resurrection techniques from the Celestial Sect and Dragon Tiger Mountain.
"Yet no matter the technique, after dissolution of the corpse the most important position should be the head, not the left hand taking charge."
Prompted by the Sect Leader's words, Zhang Ze pondered it seems that indeed no matter listening to Big Head or Little Head, people must obey the head's command.
Currently, they know of Mr. Xiao's severed limbs, just the left and right hand, one eyeball, and one big leg.
The rest are missing, whether hidden away or sealed elsewhere is unknown.
And besides the left hand, the cultivation of the other parts is problematic as well.
Their cultivation doesn't even match the left hand's, seemingly capped as if to prevent rebellion.
"Are you saying, the real Xiao Jing might not be with you, but hidden elsewhere?" Zhang Ze asked.
Chen Qianhu, "Yes, that's my suspicion, and I feel the old Baiyujing is highly suspect."
After a moment, Chen Qianhu sent over a brocade cloth.
Stolen by the insects.
Although it's a mundane item, it has scribbled words all over it.
[Baiyujing]
As if someone unconsciously wrote down their dream-like writings.
Zhang Ze took the brocade cloth and nodded, "I understand."
Chen Qianhu, "There's one more thing, although I don't have clear evidence yet, I believe it should also relate to Xiao Jing."
"These floating beyond the heavens, broken stone corpses transformed by Primordial worship, seem to bear signs of artificial damage," Chen Qianhu said.
Probably out of boredom, Mr. Chen counts besides tearing newspapers during leisure.
Counts the number of stone corpse fragments, remembers their appearances, and finally puts them together in his mind like a puzzle.
But as he pieced them together, he noticed anomalies.
These stone corpse fragments are almost all missing certain parts.
The missing parts are mostly concentrated in the torso and head.
In this enormous asteroid belt graveyard, Mr. Chen found no Big Head, Little Head, nor nai Head.
If it were just one or two, it might be a coincidence. But if it's all, then there's certainly something suspicious.
Thus, Chen Qianhu remained there also monitoring Xiao Jing's left hand movements.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ze thought of an idea.
"Can't we use those insects? They can push the passage's exit to your side, so couldn't they also push you to Xiao Jing's side?"
"I've tried that, but it didn't work. They said I was 'too heavy'," Chen Qianhu answered.
"I see..." Zhang Ze pondered, quickly coming up with another idea.
"How about pushing those unoccupied stone corpse fragments, we could build a bridge."
Chen Qianhu, "A bridge?"
Zhang Ze, "Yes, you aren't good at aquatic battle, unable to go into the sea, why not directly iron-lock across the river?
"We'll stitch those stone corpse fragments together, linking them into a stretch, forming a floating bridge land, gradually extending to that side.
"Lay a section in front of you, then you walk over it, followed by dismantling the rear and laying it to the front, repeating the cycle.
"By then, even if Xiao Jing notices and plans to intervene, it's no matter.
"Because the 'bridge' will always stay within range of your sword, should Xiao Jing dare extend his hand, you can chop it off.
"Also, while you cultivate, let the insects handle the bridge building, it won't hinder either task."
Chen Qianhu, "...."
As someone involved becomes bewildered, he hadn't considered this point, but upon careful thinking, Zhang Ze's method indeed had reasonable merit.
"Well, then, it's worth a try." Chen Qianhu replied.
The two discussed some specific details, subsequently Zhang Ze released his insects again. π§π³π¦β―ππ¦π·π―ππ£π¦π.πΈπ°π
Some continued to annoy and spy on Xiao Jing's left hand, while the rest began learning how to build a bridge with one insect leading a book from the "Thousand Mechanism Pavilion's Civil Engineering King's Technical Guide."
However, just as everything was set, ready to conclude their contact at Sword Sect, Lu Yuzhou, who had been eavesdropping, cleared his throat.
"Cough...what about me?"
"You..." Chen Qianhu hesitated a moment, then suddenly realizing with a belated tone, "Sorry, almost forgot, I have something to discuss with you."
