Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 289: Chapter 286 Desire to Kill

Wu Kuisong was a burly and strong young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, his gaze piercing and energetic.

It seemed as if his eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets at any moment.

At this moment, he glared fiercely at Lu Gaoxuan, as if he wanted to kill him.

Lu Gaoxuan was startled.

By nature suspicious, he immediately understood that his words had been overheard by Wu Kuisong.

Wu Kuisong gritted his teeth and said, ”Despicable scoundrel!”

Chu Zhiyuan waved a hand, ”Alright, no matter how despicable he is, you can’t kill him.”

Wu Kuisong snarled, ”I will report to the Law Enforcement Hall, have him punished, and expelled from the sect!”

Chu Zhiyuan said calmly, ”And what are you going to tell the Law Enforcement Hall, explain the situation here?”

Wu Kuisong was taken aback.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Are you going to pledge allegiance to me or to those old geezers?”

Wu Kuisong’s face clouded, glaring at him intensely.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”You should know whether I’m lying or not, right?”

Being a Grandmaster, Wu Kuisong could naturally clearly sense the power of the Fearless Realm.

The power of the Fearless Realm could not appear on someone who hadn’t practiced the Fearless Sect’s mental method, this was a cardinal rule.

And having cultivated the Fearless Sect’s mental method meant being a disciple of the Fearless Sect, though this disciple’s status was special.

”To be honest with you all,” Chu Zhiyuan said slowly, ”I have a Secret Technique that can suppress the erosion of the Fearless Realm on me without changing my temperament, otherwise, my Imperial Grandfather would’ve abolished me long ago.”

Wu Kuisong said, ”How is that possible?”

”All skills under heaven converge into one, and all can be used by me,” Chu Zhiyuan said calmly, ”Regardless of whether it’s an Evil Technique or a Righteous Skill, as long as it can quickly make one a Great Grandmaster, it is a good technique.”

Wu Kuisong asked, ”Then can you still become the Emperor?”

”It’s very difficult,” Chu Zhiyuan responded lightly, ”But if I can’t become Emperor, so be it. After absorbing the Fearless Sect into my command and using the Fearless Sect to deal with the Yuding Sect and the Secret Shadow Sect, after establishing great exploits, am I afraid of not having a high enough status?”

He spoke these words frankly and straightforwardly.

Instead made Wu Kuisong and Lu Gaoxuan believe him.

If it were them as the Princely Heir, they would do the same, this move was to drive the wolf to swallow the tiger, using evil to cure evil.

Chu Zhiyuan said lightly, ”The Fearless Sect is now on the edge of collapse, barely surviving, maybe one day it will be exterminated, follow me, at least it can flourish.”

”You won’t burn bridges after crossing, right? After annihilating the Yuding Sect and the Secret Shadow Sect, then destroy us too.”

”Why should I destroy you?” Chu Zhiyuan responded lightly, ”Da Jing always has someone to suppress, making you risk your lives for the Military Suppression Department, even letting you fight Da Meng, your use is great, ... mark my words, under my command, you are not allowed to indiscriminately kill innocents, if you must kill, only kill those the Court wants gone, in the future, the Court will suppress the Fearless Sect, but will not exterminate it.”

The light in Wu Kuisong’s eyes gradually brightened.

Lu Gaoxuan was the same.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”You three, temporarily act as my spies, looking for an opportunity to wipe out the Fearless Sect hierarchy.”

”This...”

”Is it very hard to find a chance?”

”Hard.”

”Do your best,” Chu Zhiyuan said solemnly, ”But you must swear from today, never indiscriminately kill innocents, and must follow the Court’s law!”

”We also have to follow orders.”

”Then find a way to muddle through.”

”...Alright.” Wu Kuisong reluctantly agreed.

Chu Zhiyuan flashed behind the last young man and slapped him with a palm.

With a ”swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh,” silver needles whistled out, and he immediately sobered up, becoming compliant after receiving a palm strike from Chu Zhiyuan.

A true and certain Fearless Realm’s Gang Qi.

——

Watching the three walk away, Chu Qingfeng remained silent.

Only after they left did he speak up, ”Fourth Brother, you really want to take control of the Fearless Sect?”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, ”Uncle thinks what?”

”An extraordinary and wild idea!” Chu Qingfeng said slowly.

He wasn’t too perturbed about letting go of three master fighters from the Fearless Sect.

The God Punishment Bureau had caught numerous experts from the Evil Sect, letting three go was nothing, they could capture them again.

The information just obtained about the Fearless Sect was worth more than thirty or even three hundred experts from the Fearless Sect.

This was a qualitative breakthrough for the God Punishment Bureau.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Does Uncle think it’s impossible?”

”You’ve really practiced the Fearless Sect’s mental method?” Chu Qingfeng scrutinized Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”More or less, even if it’s not the Fearless Sect’s mental method, it’s at least borrowed the power of the Fearless Realm.”

His hands formed a seal once more, the motion was elegant and composed, seemingly effortless. In truth, it was extremely difficult and consumed a lot of energy.

However, as he used it more, he felt his skill deepening, and the energy consumption decreasing.

If he continued, he might be able to perform the second seal before becoming a Great Grandmaster.

After completing the first seal, his right palm lightly struck towards Chu Qingfeng.

Chu Qingfeng concentrated his mind and launched a palm counter.

”Boom!”

The wind howled, sand and stones flew.

Chu Zhiyuan stepped back two paces, feeling a strange force drill into his body, scattering towards his internal organs.

This Gang Qi seemed both non-existent and omnipresent, impossible to block.

Chu Zhiyuan had a moment of clarity, and the two small swords in the Heavenly Pond within him began to move.

The small swords pierced through the dispersed Gang Qi, managing to disperse and eliminate them.

The two small swords moved rapidly, shuttling through his body.

Chu Qingfeng was staring at Chu Zhiyuan in astonishment.

He too had exchanged blows with grandmasters and even Great Grandmasters of the Fearless Sect, knowing the power of the Fearless Realm.

At this moment, it was truly indistinguishable from the real thing.

Chu Zhiyuan’s complexion alternated between red and white, eventually returning to normal, and he exhaled deeply.

Completely extinguishing the invading Spiritual Energy.

The two small swords even grew slightly longer, equivalent to ten days of nurturing.

This Great Grandmaster’s Spiritual Energy actually had such a wonderful effect?

”Are you alright?” Chu Qingfeng asked.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and smiled, ”Uncle, do you think my Fearless Realm’s power is authentic enough?”

”It’s indeed the power of the Fearless Realm.”

”The Fearless Great Perfection Handprint is a legacy I stumbled upon.”

”This is the Fearless Sect’s mental method,” Chu Qingfeng frowned, ”You’re quite bold.”

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”The Dragon Transformation Technique can eradicate the influence of the Fearless Realm’s power.”

”Truly?”

”Uncle knows the peculiarity when they perform, right?”

”...Yes, it is indeed different,” Chu Qingfeng nodded slowly.

The power of the Fearless Realm was not so easy to mobilize, usually these experts of the Fearless Sect used their own cultivated power, only at critical moments would they draw upon the power of the Fearless Realm.

At such times, they all became hideously terrifying, losing all self-control.

Yet Chu Zhiyuan showed no such signs.

”Uncle, what I told them was not entirely false, I do indeed plan to use evil to cure evil.”

”...Just fearful it may backfire on you,” Chu Qingfeng pondered and said slowly, ”The Fearless Sect has Great Grandmasters, and there are at least two, perhaps more.”

Wu Kuisong mentioned as he left that there were two Great Grandmasters in the Fearless Sect.

However, there’s reason to assume there might be a third.

Chu Zhiyuan said, ”Then let’s first deal with the Great Grandmasters.”

”...Difficult,” Chu Qingfeng’s expression was grave.

”Wuyou Powder should suffice, right?” Chu Zhiyuan suggested, ”It’s said that Wuyou Powder can even handle Great Grandmasters.”

He knew Chu Qingfeng’s concerns.

Killing Great Grandmasters was exceedingly challenging.

Killing Great Grandmasters of the Fearless Sect was even harder, the biggest fear being the jade and stone burning outcome.

”Wuyou Powder is too precious.”

”I’ll go ask to borrow it.”

”...Let me think about it,” Chu Qingfeng said.

”Yes.”

Chu Zhiyuan knew this meant consulting with the Emperor, as killing Great Grandmasters was a matter of great significance.
