Chapter 417: The Truth Under the Mist II

Seeing that Zhao Min didn’t look like she was lying, Song Qingshu was stunned. Seeing her gradually walking away, he quickly followed her.

“I finally understand why you don’t want to support Yang Miaozhen.” Seeing Zhao Min silently walking with her head down with a frosty look on her face, Song Qingshu deliberately broke the slightly embarrassing silence.

“Why?” Zhao Min replied calmly.

“Because the Red Coat Army has formed an alliance with the Sun Moon Holy Cult.” Song Qingshu judged confidently.

A hint of approval flashed in Zhao Min’s eyes, but she remained calm, “What does their alliance have to do with me?”

“Ren Woxing escaped from the West Lake Prison in an attempt to regain his position as leader. But by that point, the Sun Moon Holy Cult already had a new leader, Dongfang Bubai, who was recognized as the number one master in the unorthodox martial world. Ren Woxing thought that he was no longer a match for him, so he invited the Ming Cult, which was closely related to the Sun Moon Holy Cult, to help. In the end, Zhang Wuji personally took action, and Dongfang Bubai was defeated. Now, the Sun Moon Holy Cult has become the Ming Cult’s most loyal ally.”

Song Qingshu thought to himself, ‘If I didn’t end up hiding in Ren Yingying’s bathtub, I wouldn’t have known about the seemingly close relationship between the Sun Moon Holy Cult and the Ming Cult they had hidden from the outside world. In fact, things are even more treacherous, and it is not yet clear whether Zhao Min is an enemy or a friend, so there is no need to reveal this to her.’

“Looking at you, it looks like you have turned against Zhang Wuji. Naturally, you are not willing to support the Red Coat Army who is in harmony with the Sun Moon Holy Cult.” Song Qingshu continued.

Zhao Min remained expressionless and coldly snorted, “You’d better save your energy and think about whether you can beat him if a fight breaks out later. If I remember correctly, you two have long wanted to get rid of each other.”

“Oh?” Song Qingshu walked quickly to Zhao Min, smelled the orchid-like fragrance on her body, and said meaningfully, “Does the Princess want me to win or Zhang Wuji to win?”

Zhao Min coldly said, “I wish you two would die together.”

Song Qingshu immediately laughed, “Zhang Wuji is your lover, I am just an outsider, and you actually want us to die together. It seems that in your heart, you have unconsciously favored me.”

“You are so shameless!” Zhao Minbo said angrily, “I have never seen such a shameless person in my life! Your face is thicker than the city wall.”

“Thank you for the compliment, Princess.” Although Song Qingshu was smiling on his face, his heart was extremely solemn. Although he had a brief fight with Zhang Wuji, the two sides only had a brief taste of the opponents strength. If they really wanted to fight each other to death, there was no telling who would win.

Although he has reached an extremely high level now, Zhang Wuji also possesses the powerful Nine Yang Divine Art. There were probably very few people in the martial arts who had better internal energy than him, not to mention the fact that he possesses the supreme secret technique of the Ming Cult, the “Heaven and Earth Great Shift”.

In the past, Song Qingshu’s martial arts was low, and he felt that the Heaven and Earth Great Shift was simply one of the highest tier martial arts techniques in the world. However, now that Song Qingshu’s martial arts had reached a high enough realm, he was constantly trying to figure out the principles of the Heaven and Earth Great Shift.

In his opinion, Ming Cult’s Heaven and Earth Great Shift and the Murong family’s Great Cosmic Transformation were similar in approach and purpose. They both were extremely clever techniques of leveraging strength to first put the user in an invincible position.

Although borrowing strength to fight seemed wonderful, there was an upper limit to the amount of strength the user could borrow. Otherwise, wouldn’t all the Ming Cult leaders and the Murong family be invincible?

Therefore, Song Qingshu wasn’t very afraid of using his own strength to achieve the same effect. However, the Heaven and Earth Great Shift also had the function of stimulating the potential of the human body. In Song Qingshu’s view, the Heaven and Earth Great Shift was like a power amplifier. The power of the same punch could be optimized and amplified by the Heaven and Earth Great Shift, and the effect was estimated to be multiplied several times. 

Zhang Wuji possessed the Nine Yang Divine Art, and his internal energy had shocked the world. If the strength he exerted with every move was enhanced several times by the Heaven and Earth Great Shift…Song Qingshu had a headache just thinking about it.

During the battle at Heimuya, Song Qingshu was using the internal Qi of the Nine Yin Scripture and the Divine Brilliance Scripture. When he was hit by Zhang Wuji, all the Qi in his body was blasted into chaos. He almost became a cripple again and had to go to Tubo to learn the Joyful Meditation Method in order to survive.

Even Dongfang Muxue, who had such a high level of martial arts, was injured by Feng Qingyang’s innate sword Qi. However, after being attacked by Zhang Wuji once, she had been seriously injured and had never recovered. Her strength was still less than 10% of her peak. One can only imagine how terrifying Zhang Wuji’s attack strength could be.

‘This Zhang Wuji is simply cheating!’ Song Qingshu couldn’t help but complain as he thought about the unfair treatment of the world. Although Zhang Wuji’s martial arts configuration in the original novel was high, in a real fight, he could only display 60 to 70% of his strength. Only when he met top masters, did he burst out in full strength. There was a sentence that best evaluated Zhang Wuji’s martial arts in the original novel–- “he is not very good at losing, and he is also not very good at winning.”

Having fought against Zhang Wuji so many times, Song Qingshu had a clear idea in his mind, ‘Zhang Wuji had the cheat code to win…’

The man and the woman were full of thoughts along the way, and unknowingly they came to a separate courtyard.

“Zhang Wuji is in this courtyard,” Zhao Min pointed to the courtyard wall in front of her and said to Song Qingshu, “You are good at Qinggong, lead me to sneak in quietly. It’s best not to be discovered by him.”

Zhao Min was in charge of the Ruyang Palace. Their intelligence construction and information network were so powerful that under her deliberate investigation, the traces of the dignified leader of the Ming Cult didn’t escape her detection.

“Zhang Wuji’s martial arts is very high. It’s hard not to be noticed when we get close.” Song Qingshu frowned. If he wanted to hide from Zhang Wuji’s eyes and ears, it would have been easier if he was alone. But now that there was a charming Princess beside him, it would become quite troublesome. 

Although Zhao Min could be considered a good fighter in the martial arts world, at Zhang Wuji’s level, she was no different from a weak woman who didn’t know martial arts.

“It’s dangerous to get close, so let’s stay away.” Zhao Min originally planned to visit directly, but considering the current situation, she changed her mind and wanted to do some secret investigation first to see if she could find anything.

“Okay, then I will have to offend the Princess.” After Song Qingshu finished speaking, he put his arms around Zhao Min’s waist, jumped lightly, and slipped into the other courtyard like a wisp of smoke.

Although it was not the first time that Song Qingshu held her in his arms, Zhao Min still felt a little uncomfortable. In the past few times, she could say that she was being held hostage by the other party and could not resist, but today she took the initiative to agree.

‘As long as I can find out the truth, this much is nothing…’ Zhao Min found a reason to comfort himself.

Hearing the sound of conversation coming from a pavilion not far away, Song Qingshu flashed and took Zhao Min with him to hide in a lush tree.

After seeing the man and woman in the pavilion clearly, Song Qingshu’s expression turned gloomy.

“How does Young Master Song feel after seeing his wife meeting another man in the middle of the night?” Zhao Min was worried that Zhang Wuji would hear her voice, so she whispered as her lips almost touched the skin of Song Qingshu’s ears.

The man and woman sitting in the pavilion were naturally Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo. They were sitting opposite each other on both sides of a stone table and seemed to be talking about something.

“How does the Princess feel after seeing her lover with another women in the middle of the night?” Song Qingshu retorted and turned around. 

However, who knew that Zhao Min’s lips were so close to his, and the two lips immediately touched each other.
