Chapter 310 Undercurrent
Xia Liuqing looked at Gong Qing's sincere expression, sighed softly, and seemed to have made some difficult decision.
His brows were slightly furrowed, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.
After a moment, he said, "Well, I'll give you one last chance."
His voice was low and majestic, as if it contained some unshakable determination.
"As an old man, I don't want to meddle in other people's business."
Xia Liuqing's tone was a little helpless, "The life and death of Quan Xing has nothing to do with me."
The helplessness in his words made everyone present feel his inner exhaustion.
But at the same time, it also reveals a unique calmness and authority.
"Now, although the whole nature is in the hands of you young people,
But the rules must still be followed.”
Xia Liuqing paused, and his tone suddenly became more serious, "These rules are the foundation of Quan Xing."
“Whoever controls the whole nature cannot easily break it.”
He turned his gaze to Gong Qing, his eyes full of deep scrutiny.
"I'll make an exception this time and give you, the acting leader, a second chance."
There was an indescribable weight in his words, as if every word carried a huge responsibility and expectation.
"But," Xia Liuqing's tone suddenly became colder.
As if to remind Gong Qing of some unavoidable fact, "Gong Qing, you have to remember this."
He paused, as if deliberately dragging out his words, making the atmosphere around them even more depressing.
"The death penalty may be temporarily avoided, but the punishment for life is still unavoidable,"
Xia Liuqing's voice was low and threatening, "It all depends on your performance this time."
After he finished speaking, he glanced coldly at everyone present.
It was as if it set an indisputable standard for the upcoming test.
These words made everyone feel a heavy pressure, especially Gong Qing.
He lowered his head, beads of sweat already beginning to appear on his forehead.
He knew how hard it was to come by this opportunity. If he failed again,
Quan Xing would probably never give him any chance to be lenient again.
Everyone was silent for a moment, and the atmosphere became more solemn.
Xia Liuqing's words undoubtedly made everyone present realize that
This is not only Gong Qing's last chance, but also a critical moment for Quan Xing's future.
All eyes were on Gong Qing, waiting for his next answer and action.
Gong Qing took a deep breath and raised his head, his eyes flashing with determination and guilt.
He knew that if he failed again this time, it would not only be his own downfall, but also a catastrophe for the entire character.
After a moment of silence, he finally spoke in a firm voice: "Thank you, Elder Xia, for your tolerance.
I will definitely not let Quan Xing down." His voice was a little hoarse, but his determination was clearly visible.
When Xia Liuqing heard this, he nodded slightly, with a faint smile on his face.
His eyes were still sharp, but seemed to relax a little at this moment.
It was as if he had already made the most difficult decision.
"I hope you can do as you said, Gong Qing."
He spoke lightly, but with deep meaning.
"Whether you can seize this last chance is entirely up to you."
"If you can lead the whole being through this difficult time and restore their vitality,
Then you will not only prove your own worth, but also make a great contribution to the revival of the whole sex.”
Xia Liuqing added, his tone becoming more serious,
"But if you fail again, I'm afraid you won't be able to take on the position of acting head."
After saying that, Xia Liuqing turned around slightly and prepared to leave.
His figure gradually faded away, leaving behind a solemn atmosphere.
It was as if every step he took made the air around him heavier.
At this time, seeing that Xia Liuqing had agreed to Gong Qing's request, the other people in Quan Xing did not dare to say anything more.
Most people just lowered their heads and silently digested this sudden decision.
Although his heart was still full of doubts, in the face of Xia Liuqing's majesty, any voice of opposition seemed insignificant.
Gao Ning and Dou Mei also looked at each other without saying much.
It seems that everyone has understood the situation this time.
There was still a hint of sneer in Gao Ning's eyes, but he did not raise any more objections to Gong Qing.
Dou Mei remained silent, but there was a deep worry in her eyes.
She knew that Xia Liuqing's decision was not an easy one, and everything was betting on Gong Qing.
Gong Qing then breathed a sigh of relief; he finally got his chance.
Although his heart was still a little heavy, at this moment, a long-lost fire seemed to be rekindled deep in his heart.
At this moment, he no longer has time to review past mistakes and failures.
There is no way out of everything that is happening now.
Quan Xing's future is already tightly tied to him.
"I have only one goal - to kill Su Chen!"
He swore secretly in his heart.
If it weren't for Su Chen's secret planning,
This time, Quan Xing's attack on Longhu Mountain would not have resulted in such heavy losses.
Su Chen has made Quan Xing pay an unbearable price.
A trace of bloodshot flashed in Gong Qing's eyes, as if that name had become the deepest pain in his heart.
He took a deep breath, trying to swallow all the anger and resentment into his stomach.
At this moment, Gong Qing's hatred for Su Chen had reached its peak.
He hated Su Chen to the core and wished he could tear Su Chen into pieces immediately.
"Su Chen, I will make you pay the price you deserve...!"
He whispered, his tone low but filled with uncontrollable anger.
Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, carrying the power of anger and hatred.
Gong Qing clenched his fists, and his knuckles made faint cracking sounds.
……
Longhu Mountain, Tianshi Mansion.
The old Taoist priest, Lu Jin and others sat in the upper seats with solemn expressions.
Below, Rong Shan and others were reporting the casualties in Mount Longhu.
There was a heavy atmosphere in the air, as if even the air had become stagnant due to the aftermath of the battle.
Rong Shan bowed his head and said respectfully: "Master, this time we are lucky to have Su Chen here.
Our disciples in Mount Longhu will not suffer heavy losses.
But some of the weaker disciples still suffered at the hands of Quan Xing."
His voice was heavy, and his tone revealed an unconcealable guilt.
He paused and continued, “Most of the disciples managed to survive thanks to Nadutong’s assistance.
Some were seriously injured and are currently recovering in a stable condition. ”
As the old Taoist priest listened, his brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of deep thought flashed in his eyes.
He did not rush to speak, but kept his head down in silence, as if he was weighing the importance of the matter.
He knew clearly that this battle was of great significance to Longhu Mountain.
Although there were not too many fatal casualties, it was a great test.
It even challenged the bottom line and face of Longhushan.
"Although the loss this time is not too serious, but..."
Rongshan paused and didn't continue.
The old Taoist priest frowned and asked.
"but what."
