Azure Heaven Saber
Chapter 514 - 514 139 The So-Called Oath_2

Chapter 514: Chapter 139: The So-Called Oath_2 Chapter 514: Chapter 139: The So-Called Oath_2 But the other party flatly rejected it, topped with a dismissive comment – ‘Whether it’s gossip or not, I don’t care…’

Just this one sentence proves that he does care, and he cares very much, he cares considerably more than someone should!

“It’s over!”

Li Zhan looked utterly devastated.

“The gossipy Azure Dragon has always been vindictive. Rejecting our offer so resolutely, it seems he intends to spread this matter all over the world!”

“This is killing me!!”

In the distance, Mo Qingkong, who had been lying motionless amidst the crowd, suddenly let out a roar and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

He fainted.

It wasn’t until this moment, that he truly passed out.

It wasn’t only about shame!

He remembered the oath he had just sworn: ‘If I am telling a lie, let Mo Qingkong be struck down by heavenly lightning and torn apart by horses. Let my martial arts never advance, my family be wiped out, my ancestors be denied peace, let me fall into disgrace and my spirit be destroyed, never to be reincarnated in ages to come.’

Upon thinking of this, he instantly fell into utter despair.

Struck by heavenly lightning he had not been, torn apart by horses he also wasn’t, but he was now missing a leg, of his five limbs, another had been lost.

Martial arts… after this severe injury, he probably would have difficulty making progress anymore.

The obliteration of his family… He had no real family in the first place. It wouldn’t make a difference if they were all wiped out.

Whether his ancestors could rest in peace he did not know; whether his spirit would be destroyed, he did not know; whether he would never be reincarnated was another matter.

But disgrace was already before his eyes – once Azure Dragon got a hold of his scandal, it would strange if it doesn’t become the talk of the continent!

How could Mo Qingkong bear all this!?

Feng Yin, hiding in the bark of a tree, was in no hurry to make his move.

Because he too remembered the oath Mo Qingkong had sworn.

And now, it seemed that the oath was coming true.

For a person like Mo Qingkong, no matter what despicable, shameless, or brutal actions he had done, due to his long-standing high position, all of this had become normal in people’s eyes.

Even revealing them would cause no harm.

Even many people would express understanding: Wasn’t the primal accumulation of capital blood-soaked? It was all too normal for these people to have done such things…

Then came a series of self-consolation: The reason why I’m not successful is because I’m too kind-hearted.

This sentiment pervades every world.

So the two words “fall into disgrace” have different levels of connotations for different ranks of people.

And Mo Qingkong’s private life, his nonhuman side – once it spread, the consequences were far worse than just falling into disgrace.

It can even be said that his name would stink for ages.

The masses have always relished the amorous news of the upper echelons.

Therefore, once Mo Qingkong’s secret gets out, it would surely result in a public spectacle across the whole continent – although I’m not as high-ranking as him, not as martially skilled as him, and not as influential as him, at least I am not lacking in any departments.

The satisfaction that springs up spontaneously, and the sense of superiority that can still be generated when compared to such people of high rank, would make this story a popular legend.

No amount of power, not even the authority of Supreme Mountain, can completely ban the spread of this story.

Some things, even official channels, can’t make universally known, but stories like this, just with the whisper network, can become known to all!

This is the difference!

“Serves him right!”

Feng Yin felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

“Let’s see if you dare to provoke, set me up or attempt to kill me!”

Mo Yuantu and Mo Yuanqing looked deathly pale.

Wu Ao and Li Zhan were also completely panicked.

This…this is huge!

The pair simultaneously turned their heads to look dubiously on Mo Qingkong who was fainted on the ground.

Did the pair fail to understand now?

Previously, Mo Qingkong was merely weak to the extreme, he had not passed out.

He just didn’t have the strength to react.

But that the pair of them, and Mo Yuantu and Mo Yuanqing had discovered his deepest secret, Mo Qingkong was acutely aware.

Their eyes met, the implication was clear.

“What should we do?”

Not only these two, but Mo Yuantu and Mo Yuanqing were also baffled and didn’t know what to do.

If this secret was broadcast worldwide, Mo Qingkong, no matter how tolerant, would unlikely spare their wives and children!

And the other disciples of Supreme Mountain were confusedly watching them.

Even though they were right next to them, they genuinely had no idea what was going on.

A groan.

Mo Qingkong woke up.

“Second, Third.” Mo Qingkong called out weakly.

Wu Ao and Li Zhan hurried over: “Big brother.”

A bitter smile emerged on Mo Qingkong’s dry face.

“You found out eventually.”

Mo Qingkong said weakly.

Wu Ao’s eyes flickered, saying: “Rest assured, brother. We’ll definitely keep our mouths shut.”

Actually, they both understood. Now that Azure Dragon knew, keeping the matter secret had become a joke. But in front of Mo Qingkong, they had no choice but to promise.

Mo Qingkong shook his head despondently: “Forget it. Since you found out, what’s the use of promising to keep it a secret?”

“I was born this way…”

Mo Qingkong said with his eyes closed: “For many years, I’ve been careful… I am really tired… I arranged everything secretly… Oh… Well, since it has come to this, maybe I should go back and retire to the mountains.”

Wu Ao’s eyes brightened: “Big brother, don’t lose faith…”
