Chapter 139

Chapter 139: Every Inch of Land in the Mortal World is Drenched with Blood 

(Part 4)

Standing atop the mountain with his hands behind his back, the wind blowing up from below the cliff, making 

his clothes flutter, Si Cang Qing slowly raised his hand, looking up at the clear blue sky.

A moment later, a piercing cry echoed from the sky, and a soaring eagle appeared, its wings spread across the 

clouds. The eagle's cry shattered the feigned tranquility of the mountains and forests.

Feeling a slight tremor beneath his feet, Si Cang Qing knew the Phoenix Temple had collapsed. He wasn't in a 

hurry to descend the mountain. Gazing at the front of the mountain, he saw that only a few rebels were trapped 

in the Phoenix Temple; most were still guarding Chaotian Mountain. Now, Qiang Chouci, the mastermind behind 

all this, was likely seriously injured and had long since escaped.

The rebels she abandoned would never amount to much, and with Anping's army attacking from both sides, 

the majority of the Phoenix Temple's forces should be pacified.

After a few more long cries in the sky, the eagle swooped down, circling above Si Cang Qing's head.

"Is this your pet?" a gentle voice came from behind, tinged with a hint of amusement.

Si Cang Qing didn't answer, but simply raised his arm again. The eagle cried out once more, then landed on his 

shoulder, unusually obedient. He slowly turned around; he already knew Mo Qingjue had woken up the moment 

he fainted, but he couldn't be bothered.

This person still had some temporary use, but he had never given up on killing him.

Mo Qingjue was extremely perceptive. He chuckled softly, "What heinous crime have I committed that makes 

you want to kill me the moment you see me?" He then gazed intently at Si Cang Qing's cold face and nodded, 

"That's right, I am your nemesis."

He smiled leisurely, walked to Si Cang Qing's side, facing the cliff, "To be honest, this isn't fair to me. You are 

also my nemesis, and I've never truly intended to kill you!"

Ignoring whether Si Cang Qing was listening, he calmly continued, "Twenty-two years ago, Qiang Chouci 

foresaw that you would be her mortal enemy in her quest to unify the world. However, Feng Wufei was truly 

formidable, using divination to counter witchcraft, protecting you flawlessly, leaving her no way to strike." 

Mo Qingjue... Looking at Si Cang Qing's profile, he sighed softly, "To be honest, I have even more reason to 

kill you!"

His gentle voice carried a hint of emptiness. He stood proudly against the wind, speaking calmly, "I shouldn't 

have been born into this world. Qiang Chouci used Si Cang Qing's destined death to scheme against me. You 

probably don't know this! It's because of Qiang Chouci's defying fate, coupled with your life's lack of peace, 

that Feng Wufei couldn't foresee my existence."

These words finally attracted Si Cang Qing's attention. He turned his head to meet the other's gaze, "What do you 

mean?" Even though he was usually uninterested in curiosity, this matter concerned his own safety and the safety 

of those around him.

The response seemed to please him. Mo Qingjue smiled slowly, his tone calm and collected, "Qiang Chouci used 

witchcraft to summon the 'Demon Star' to specifically target you, the Emperor Star."

Turning his gaze slightly, Mo Qingjue looked at the soldiers who had already reached the mountaintop, a mocking 

glint in his eyes. He spoke unhurriedly of a conspiracy spanning decades.

A thousand years ago, due to the Qiang Zhi incident, the Qiang clan declined and fled to the South China Sea, 

their marriage customs with the Yuwen clan remaining unchanged. However, the Qiang clan had long been 

powerless to interfere in the rise and fall of the continent, and subsequent clan leaders were content with a life of 

quiet obscurity. Their only connection with the Yuwen clan was secretly sending a few clansmen to the palace 

each time a new emperor ascended the throne.

However, this tranquility was shattered when fifteen-year-old Qiang Chouci took over the Qiang clan. She was 

an extremely ambitious and driven individual, and for this reason, she secretly returned to the mainland. At that 

time, her power was still weak, and she could only rely on the emperor of Guangyu Kingdom, offering him 

advice and cultivating a shadow guard. However, she and the emperor still had some disputes over the selection 

of the crown prince. The emperor insisted on making Yuwen Rui the crown prince, and in a fit of anger, 

Qiang Chouci left the palace.

From then on, she began to secretly plan everything. She had mastered a small part of the essence of witchcraft, 

while the other ancient spell manuals were hidden by the Mulian clan. Therefore, she used a scheme to seduce 

the then-holy son of the Mulian clan. She not only tricked him into giving her the long-lost witchcraft manual, 

but also tricked him into learning the Nightmare Language and Gu Curses from the Mulian clan's secret manual. 

Combining the two, she pushed witchcraft to a higher level.

The Qiang clan was skilled in divination, and Qiang Chouci predicted that the world would be in chaos in twenty 

years. Therefore, she began to lay out everything, believing she had everything under control. At the same time, 

she used witchcraft to control her lover.

However, things took an unexpected turn. The Holy Son of the Mu Lian Clan somehow escaped and disappeared 

without a trace. Because Qiang Chouci had been away from the South China Sea for many years, a rebellion 

broke out within the Qiang clan. In desperation, she hurriedly returned to the South China Sea and remained there, 

continuously establishing her influence in the inland regions, spreading throughout the Three Kingdoms, waiting 

for the opportune moment to seize power.

However, thirty years ago, during the near-collapse of the Three Kingdoms, a ruthless and bloodthirsty old man 

appeared in the martial world, seeking revenge for past grievances. Qiang Chouci was shocked, as witchcraft 

was incurable; she had assumed the man was long dead, but this unexpected turn of events...

In an instant, the ruthless old man unleashed a reign of terror upon the martial world.

◇Cang◇Huan◇Seven◇Palaces◇

After some deliberation, Qiang Chouci decided to use the Old Man of Duan Qing again. She returned to 

Guangyu Kingdom and, using some unknown method, once more deceived him, even discovering that the 

Heartbreak Gu and the Witchcraft Gu were mutually exclusive. Although the Heartbreak Gu was extremely 

vicious, the Old Man of Duan qing, already afflicted by the Witchcraft Gu, had achieved a balance within his 

body. With further manipulation and utilization, he could unleash his full power.

Knowing the power of the Heartbreak Gu, Qiang Chouci became greedy. She feigned remorse and sought 

reconciliation with the Old Man of Duan qing. The Old Man of Duan qing, being a fool, actually believed her.

This time, however, he was not so lucky. After being used, he died tragically in Wan City. Qiang Chouci was 

also severely injured and nearly died. She had to return to the South Sea, where she found several divine artifacts 

to save her life. From then on, she could not easily leave the South Sea, as her severely injured body could no

longer withstand the power of the witchcraft.

Realizing the balance of the world would not be easily disrupted, Qiang Chouci settled contentedly in the South 

Sea, biding her time until destiny called her to seize the realm. It was not until the twenty-second year that, while 

divining the heavens, she suddenly discovered a new Imperial Star had emerged in the Kingdom of Canghuan. Its 

imperial aura so powerful that almost no one could rival it.

Qiang Chouci panicked immediately. No matter how she divined, the result remained unchanged. She even risked 

sacrificing her own life force, using witchcraft to remove the new imperial star, but ultimately failed. Desperate, 

she ventured into the interior for the third time, finding the then-emperor and negotiating peace, promising to 

help him conquer the world.

To draw out the ominous star, she defied fate, bearing two sons with the emperor of the Guangyu Kingdom. 

Her eldest son was destined to clash with the imperial star, their fates intertwined in mutual destruction.

At this point, Mo Qingjue smiled, glancing at Si Cang Qing. "So, in the end, you're the one who ruined me. I owe 

you nothing!"

Si Cang Qing frowned slightly, recalling the woman he'd seen today. According to Mo Qingjue, she must be at 

least fifty years old, right? Judging by her appearance, she was clearly a young woman.

Mo Qingjue chuckled softly. "I know you won't believe me," he spread his hands. "That's why I said she's an 

old hag!" As if remembering something, his laughter grew even more delightful, a hint of mockery in his voice. 

"Didn't you experience it for yourself today? That old hag was eager to make love with you!"

These words made Si Cang Qing suddenly realize that Mo Qingjue meant… Qiang Chouci knew the art of 

absorbing the life force and energy of her lovers to replenish her own essence!

No wonder…

Si Cang Qing looked at the other person calmly and said, “What is your purpose in telling me all this?”

Slightly taken aback, Mo Qingjue chuckled and shook his head, “Your prejudice against me really runs deep! 

What purpose could I possibly have… It’s just that,” he pursed his lips, “someone cares about you, so I have no 

choice but to reluctantly explain things for 'him'…”

He murmured to himself, “If he is always seen as such a wretched figure in your heart, wouldn’t 'he' be 

heartbroken?”

Him? Si Cang Qing couldn’t help but frown, looking at the man’s slightly dazed eyes, remembering that both 

this man and that arrogant man had said it was for “him.”

“You noticed too, didn’t you?” Mo Qingjue suddenly said to Si Cang Qing, pointing to himself, “There are four 

souls living in this body…”

“Speaking of which,” he tilted his head to look at Si Cang Qing, his eyes sparkling, “I don’t think I’ve introduced 

myself yet. You can call me Wen.” Mo Qingjue smiled warmly, as if remembering something, “The child who 

loves you very much is the real Mo Qingjue, and the child who has been trying to kill you is the old witch’s son, 

named Qiang Qingmo. There’s another one you’ve met before, named Ao.”

He paused, then continued, “Actually, Qingjue and Qingmo have suffered a lot. Ao and I came into this body 

around the same time, and we know everything about their ordeal. It’s heartbreaking and infuriating. Because of 

the old witch’s coercion, Qingjue sealed himself away in his soul, sleeping for ten years. Only one remained, 

oblivious and unaware.” "Qiang Qingmo, he's nothing more than a mindless puppet."

His tone shifted, becoming firm and ruthless. "But I'm not Qiang Qingmo. That old hag treated Qingjue this way, 

and I naturally have to get my revenge, one thing at a time! Unfortunately, I can't withstand her curse either," he 

gazed at Si Cang Qing, "but Ao is unaffected. He only comes for short periods, only to help in emergencies. He 

seems arrogant and ruthless, but he's actually quite soft-hearted. He provoked you several times because you hurt 

those two children..."

"However," Mo Qingjue smiled sincerely, "Ao and I are still grateful to you...because of you, Qingjue woke up, 

and he didn't become a complete puppet like Qingmo."

"You know, Qingjue likes you very much!"
