Chapter 318 Collusion
It seems that the old man sharpening the knife dug out Fang Hen.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk...it really is Fang Hen's sword." Zhou Mi looked at the wooden sword in Liu Qi's hand and said in amazement, "I wanted to borrow it to have a look, but Fang Hen, this inhuman thing, ignored me."

Perhaps this was the first time Zhou Mi felt ignored, so even though a hundred years had passed, she still felt a little resentful when she thought about it.

Liu Qi was not surprised at all. If the Fang Hen in the previous scenes was the real Fang Hen in history, then he could hardly be called a human being.

Just as Liu Qi was lost in thought, a hand was quietly reaching towards the killing knife.

Just as he was about to touch the wooden blade, a triumphant smile appeared on Zhou Mi's face, but with a "whoosh", the killing knife in front of him disappeared.

The smile on Zhou Mi's face gradually froze, and then he looked up at Liu Qi, pouting: "It's just a broken wooden sword, are you afraid that I'll break it?"

While Zhou Mi was talking, Liu Qi had already put the killing knife into his sleeve, then looked directly into Zhou Mi's eyes and said in a deep voice: "Think about it carefully. A wooden knife has been buried in the ground for hundreds of years without rotting. Moreover, buried together with this wooden knife is this..."

Liu Qi glanced at the Zhurong Pearl lying quietly in the palm of his other hand.

Different from the previous state when it was constantly emitting red light, the Zhurong Pearl now seemed to have calmed down, and its appearance looked like a pitch-black glass ball.

Zhou Mi was obviously stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then seemed to come to his senses. He raised his eyebrows slightly, then stared at Liu Qi and asked in a deep voice: "What happened today?"

Then she looked Liu Qi up and down with her beautiful eyes, and said softly: "I was startled by Zhu Rongzhu's sudden appearance just now. I haven't even asked you about the result of today's battle, but... since you came to me, it means that Jiang Jiyu should be the loser, so... is Jiang Jiyu dead?"

Liu Qi faced Zhou Mi's questioning eyes and nodded gently: "I think it won't be long before the news comes!"

Zhou Mi's eyes suddenly widened: "You really killed Jiang Jiyu!"

Liu Qi frowned slightly: "Are you disappointed with this result?"

Zhou Mi shook his head, then sighed softly: "I thought you would spare his life."

Liu Qi pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then said in a cold voice: "If I had gone to fight with such thoughts, I would be the one buried in the waves of the river now."

Jiang Jiyu's performance today actually exceeded Liu Qi's expectations.

Now it seems that when he was in the palace, it was purely because Jiang Jiyu had too many concerns that the few moves he made with Liu Qiguo might not have shown even one percent of his strength.

"Hey……"

Zhou Mi shook his head lightly and sighed, then was about to say something, but when he looked up at Liu Qi, his pupils suddenly shrank.

"Liu Qi, you..." Zhou Mi's eyes showed panic.

Liu Qi's eyes narrowed slightly, and then she felt something strange on her face, so she reached out and touched it, and felt something warm and smooth.

As the smell of blood rushed into his nose, Liu Qi put his hands in front of his eyes. Seeing his hands covered with sticky blood, Liu Qi's face suddenly darkened.

call!
Almost instantly, light blue and pale auras gushed out from Liu Qi at the same time.

At the same time, Zhou Mi also felt a sharp breath coming towards her. Her face changed immediately and she retreated repeatedly until her back was against the wall. She had no choice but to retreat. Then she widened her eyes and looked at Liu Qi with a worried look on her face.

Pale blue and pale light flickered, and Liu Qi appeared and disappeared in the midst of it, with countless bloodstains on his cheeks, as dense as cracked land.

Just as Zhou Mi was horrified by this scene, after a flash of blue and white, Liu Qi appeared in Zhou Mi's sight again. Her cheeks were as white and delicate as before, and looked as if they could be blown away.

"You've been dead for two hundred years and you still can't rest in peace. Do you really think I have no temper?" Liu Qi's eyes suddenly turned cold, and then the light blue light around him instantly faded, replaced by a dead paleness.

In Liu Qi's body, a pale torrent formed by countless murderous intentions surged wildly through his meridians, as if he was chasing something.

Another grayish-white aura rushed all the way and finally found a breakthrough among countless pale torrents!

hold head high--

As the grayish-white aura seeped out of Liu Qi's body, it immediately penetrated into the wooden sword hidden in his sleeve without any pause. Then the blade shook slightly, making a low humming sound.

At this time, Liu Qi's pupils had almost turned pale. As the buzzing sound sounded, the paleness in her pupils quickly faded away and returned to normal color in an instant.

The pale aura that enveloped his whole body also faded away, and Liu Qi emerged from it with a serious look in his eyes. He took out a pill from his arms and fed it into his mouth.

The moment the pill entered his stomach, a faint blue fluorescence appeared on his body, and Liu Qi slowly opened his eyes.

"Sister Zhou!" Liu Shijiu's slightly anxious voice came from outside the house.

Liu Qi looked back and saw Liu Shijiu crossing the threshold with a knife in hand. The two looked at each other.

"Why are you back?" Liu Nineteen first froze in place, then exclaimed.

"Rush back from the river bank?" Liu Qi asked calmly.

Liu Nineteen nodded in confusion. She had just entered the mansion when she discovered a terrifying aura erupting from the courtyard where Zhou Mi lived, so she hurried over with a knife in hand. She didn't even have time to tell other people in the mansion the good news that Liu Qi had defeated Jiang Jiyu.

Seeing that Nineteen was still a little confused, Liu Qi asked, "Did you tell my parents about Jiang Jiyu's defeat?"

Liu Nineteen shook his head woodenly.

Seeing this, Liu Qi frowned slightly, and then raised her voice and shouted: "Then why don't you go quickly? What are you standing there for!"

Liu Nineteen turned around subconsciously upon hearing the voice. As soon as he raised his foot, he seemed to wake up. Then he turned around abruptly, opened and closed his lips several times, and after some hesitation, he finally asked: "That breath just now, was it you?"

Liu Qi nodded: "Can we go now?"

Liu Nineteen frowned and was about to ask something else when she suddenly saw Zhou Mi winking at her.

Liu Shijiu realized that Zhou Mi was reminding her to leave quickly and not ask any more questions.

Liu Nineteen lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then resolutely turned around and left the room.

Zhou Mi didn't breathe a sigh of relief until she could no longer hear Liu Shijiu's footsteps. But when she accidentally caught a glimpse of Liu Qi who was still in the room, her whole body suddenly shuddered. Then she looked at Liu Qi cautiously and asked, "What happened just now?" Hearing what Zhou Mi asked, Liu Qi turned around and looked at her, then shook his head silently.

Zhou Mi could no longer help her with matters of cultivation. She could only explore the path ahead on her own step by step.

……

There was silence in the reception hall of the Governor's Mansion.

Sun Shaoyun sat on a chair at one side of the hall with his head buried. The tense atmosphere around him almost made him unable to breathe.

Sitting in the main seat in the hall was the Governor-General of Jiangnan, Sun Jiyun.

In the hall, on the first chair on the left side of Sun Jiyun, there was a woman in Taoist robes sitting. If Liu Qi was here, he would definitely recognize that this person was the current Taiyi Sect's walking disciple, Yue Qingyao, whom he had met once in the capital.

Next to Yue Qingyao, on the second chair on the left side of the hall, a young man was slumped over. His eyes were lifeless and his whole body was slumped in the chair, like a hunched over zombie.

"Cough cough!"

A cough broke the silence.

Sun Jiyun slowly turned his eyes to look at the person sitting on the third chair on the left side of the hall, and then said in a deep voice: "Master Lu, there is no one else present, so please speak directly if you have anything to say."

“Hehehe…” Lu Jiuzhang chuckled twice upon hearing this, then glanced at everyone and said with a smile: “Everyone, things may not be as bad as we think.”

"Even if the Black Prison King's people didn't kill Liu Qi as promised, Jiang Jiyu is dead!"

"Everyone, isn't it Jiang Jiyu and his Feiyu Villa that we have been worried about?" Lu Jiuzhang said with confidence, "Now that Jiang Jiyu is dead, although Feiyu Villa still has a few good fighters, it is tantamount to hitting a rock if they want to hinder our great cause."

Sun Jiyun's eyes darkened when he heard this, and then he said softly: "Master Lu's words make sense, but it's a pity that Jiang Jiyu seems to have expected that today's battle would be disastrous, and now Feiyu Villa is deserted."

"Wouldn't it be better if we left?" someone said in a gruff voice, "There are many experts in Feiyu Villa. If they intervened, how could we still sit here and sit tight?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person who spoke was a muscular man sitting on the first chair on the right side of the hall.

This man is an old acquaintance of Liu Qi. He is the blacksmith who made the scabbard for Liu Qi at Qianduanfang and the successor of the Seventh Heaven Lihuo lineage, Feng Yao.

Behind Feng Yao stood an acquaintance of Liu Qi, the only survivor of the Qixia Sect, Jiang Quan.

"Senior Feng is right." Yue Qingyao, who had remained silent, finally spoke.

Everyone's eyes instantly focused on this young Taiyi Sect member.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Yue Qingyao stood up calmly, nodded slightly to Sun Jiyun in the hall, and then said calmly: "Our top priority now is to deal with the Changle Gang in Jiangbei. As long as the Changle Gang occupies Jiangbei, even if we can control the entire Jiangnan, we can only fight like a trapped beast in this corner in the end."

"Changle Gang..." Lu Jiuzhang looked embarrassed. "Although Gang Leader Shen looks like a weak scholar, he is a tough guy!"

"Is Patriarch Lu afraid?" Feng Yao couldn't help but snorted after hearing what Lu Jiuzhang said, and then sneered with disdain, "Yes, even Jiang Jiyu, the enemy who killed his brother, can live in the same city for more than ten years. It can be seen that Patriarch Lu's ability to endure humiliation is extraordinary!"

Lu Jiuzhang's face changed when he heard this, and then he stood up and pointed at Feng Yao and cursed: "Mr. Feng, stop talking nonsense here. Wasn't your fellow tribesman killed by Shen Lin? If you have the guts, go and seek revenge on the Changle Gang!"

Feng Yao snorted coldly, turned his head away and said no more.

"Okay!" Sun Jiyun finally spoke up, "We are all in the same boat now, there is no need to worry too much about these minor details."

"Master Feng." Sun Jiyun looked at Feng Yao and advised earnestly, "I know that there is a blood feud between you and the Changle Gang, but for the sake of the overall situation, now is not the time to tear your face with the Changle Gang."

After that, Sun Jiyun took out a letter, his eyes slowly swept over the people in the hall, and then said seriously: "This letter was brought by Luo Protector of Changle Gang, who was asked by Jiang, the head of Qingcheng Sect."

Hearing Sun Jiyun mention Jiang Xuanyun's name, everyone in the hall looked solemn, and their eyes were focused on the thin letter in Sun Jiyun's hand.

After seeing everyone's expressions, Sun Jiyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said in a deep voice: "Master Jiang guarantees with his own body that the leader of the Changle Gang, Shen, is definitely not a Futian Zhongren!"

"Impossible!" Before Sun Jiyun could finish his words, Feng Yao stood up and said angrily, "If he is not from Futian, why would he kill Liuyun?"

Sun Jiyun's eyes narrowed: "This is exactly what I want to say, Master Feng, I'm afraid that Master Liuyun has secretly colluded with Futian for a long time!"

Feng Yao's eyes trembled, and he kept shaking his head while muttering, "This is impossible, this is impossible..."

"How is this impossible!" Suddenly a cold voice came from outside the door, and then a man wearing a golden copper coin on his head strode into the lobby.

After he stood still, his emotionless eyes beneath the mask swept across everyone, and he said with disdain: "If everyone present knew what Futian's true purpose was, you would be like Liuyun and join Futian regardless of the consequences!"

Lu Jiuzhang stared at the golden copper coin mask on the man's face. After a moment, he frowned and asked, "Are you from Jinshan Yinhai Manor?"

"That's right!" The Money Envoy raised his head slightly and replied proudly, "I am the Money Envoy of Jinshan Yinhai Manor."

Feng Yao seemed to have come out of his lost state. He also stared at the money envoy and said with a vigilant look: "Aren't you the person I met last time?"

"Of course!" the Money Emissary replied, "Is there only one copper coin in the world?"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense!" Lu Jiuzhang said impatiently, "Hurry up and tell me what the real purpose of this Futian is that has attracted so many people to join in!"

Envoy Jinqian turned his head and looked at Lu Jiuzhang, and said solemnly: "I have already said that after you know Futian's true purpose, you will definitely join in it, so... Master Lu, it is better not to ask!"

……

At this time on Changle Street, Luo Yuyan looked at the closed door in front of her across the street and fell into hesitation.

"Jiang Xuanyun, you damn bastard, why did he have to let me deliver the letter? Why did he ask anyone else to do it?" Luo Yuyan suddenly started cursing. Fortunately, there were not many pedestrians on Changle Street.

After scolding Jiang Xuanyun from a distance, Luo Yuyan seemed to have calmed down. She looked up at the mansion across the street, curled her lips, and then strode over.
