I use my daughter's body to cut down the rivers and lakes

Chapter 335 Killing the chicken to scare the monkey

As night falls, this seaside town becomes even more bustling.

The only long street that runs through the entire town has lights on both sides. Guests keep riding their horses towards the lights, and the sound of horse hooves can be heard continuously on the street.

There is no doubt that these people's destination is to go straight to the restaurant.

As Liu Qi walked down the wooden stairs step by step, the guests in the lobby on the first floor turned their heads and cast different looks at Liu Qi.

"Who is this young lady?" Someone asked with a gleam in his eyes, and the greed in his eyes was not concealed.

Just as he finished speaking, a handsome young man at a nearby table waved his folding fan and said with a smile, "Her surname is Liu and her name is Qi. If this friend is interested, you may go up and meet her for a while."

The man's pupils shrank when he heard the words, then he lowered his head silently and said no more.

The people from the martial arts world who were invited here by the Xianfang were naturally not ordinary people. Perhaps few of them had seen Liu Qi in person, but they could not have not heard of the name "Liu Qi".

Liu Qi walked down the stairs. Just as she stepped onto the lobby on the first floor, Gongsun You, who appeared out of nowhere, was already waiting at the stairs.

"Miss Liu, are you satisfied with the room?" Gongsun You first bowed with his sword in his arms, then asked respectfully.

Liu Qi raised his eyes and glanced at her, then quickly retracted his gaze and replied indifferently: "It's okay, it's just that the noise outside makes people irritable."

After saying that, Liu Qi turned his eyes slightly, glanced at everyone in the hall, and then walked past Gongsun You without saying a word and walked towards the nearest table.

There were already four people sitting at the table. As they watched Liu Qi approaching step by step, they suddenly became nervous and their hands involuntarily reached for the weapons placed on the table.

"Miss Liu, your seat has been reserved."

Gongsun You's voice came from behind, but Liu Qi ignored it and walked straight to the table. He glanced at the four people at the table who looked nervous, and said a word lightly: "Give way!"

Upon hearing this, the four of them looked at each other, with shame and anger on their faces, but they still stood up one after another, without caring about etiquette, and left the table with their heads down.

After Liu Qi saw the four people leave, he sat down generously, then said with thin lips: "This position is perfect, Gongsun You can say whatever you want to say now."

There was obvious helplessness in Gongsun You's eyes when she looked at Liu Qi. She looked at the empty square table in the middle of the lobby, which was the seat she had reserved for Liu Qi.

There were four square tables in the center of the lobby, and people were already sitting on the other three.

There was only one person sitting at the table next to the one that was supposed to be reserved for Liu Qi. This person had a fat face but was wearing a coarse monk's robe that had turned white from washing, and had a shiny bald head.

It is the "Angry Vajra", one of the Five Virtues, full of empty hatred!

Although they were both top masters, unlike Liu Qi who was the center of everyone's attention, no one in the hall dared to look at Kong Hen. Occasionally, someone glanced at him but they only took a quick glance and quickly moved away.

Kong Hen always had a fierce expression on his face, and his tiger eyes kept looking at everyone in the hall. Until he saw Liu Qi forcibly sitting in someone else's seat, he snorted with disdain, and then cursed: "Sure enough, he is just the same kind of bastard!"

Kong Hen's voice was neither loud nor soft, but everyone present was a martial artist, so how could they not hear it when they were in the same room?

In an instant, everyone held their breath, and then their eyes were nervously fixed on Liu Qi's back.

Because Liu Qi was sitting close to the restaurant's main entrance and facing the main entrance, most people could not see Liu Qi's expression.

Gongsun You, who was pouring tea for Liu Qi, glanced at Liu Qi's face with some curiosity and saw that he had no expression on his face, as if he had not heard what Kong Hen had just said.

At this time, a gust of wind blew in from outside the door, and the hall was instantly filled with the unique fishy smell of the sea breeze. Few of the people present lived by the sea, so they were naturally not used to the smell and frowned.

Seeing this, Gongsun You winked at the two sword-wielding girls at the door, and the two girls understood and closed the door.

Bang!
The moment the door was closed, everyone's heart skipped a beat, and then they all looked at Gongsun You at the same time.

Gongsun You regained his previous cold expression and walked towards the center of the hall while speaking loudly, "The last time the Immortal Boat returned to the Central Plains was sixty years ago. I guess you were not born yet at that time."

As soon as he finished speaking, the elegant young man holding the folding fan suddenly stood up, smiled at Gongsun You, and then looked around and said calmly: "Everyone present is an old friend of the Fairy Boat. I think Fairy Gongsun doesn't need to say these nonsense."

"Mr. Cheng is absolutely right!" Just as Mr. Pian Pian finished speaking, another sturdy man with a naked upper body and iron rings hanging from his nose, mouth and ears said in a hoarse voice, "Fairy Gongsun, why don't you just tell us what price we have to pay to get on the fairy boat this time!"

Gongsun You had already walked to the center of the hall. He swept his cold eyes over the two people who stood up, and finally his eyes fell on the elegant young man holding the folding fan. He then said slowly: "'Jade Fan Scholar' Cheng Liang, if it weren't for the internal skills your grandfather learned from the fairy boat, I'm afraid your Cheng family would still be an unknown and poor family today."

“As for you…” Gongsun You’s eyes slowly moved and landed on the burly man with silver rings all over his face. He immediately said with a look of disdain, “When your master taught you the Wu Ding Fei Huan move, he didn’t do it for you to wear it on your face now!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the sturdy man with silver rings all over his face turned red as pig liver, but he couldn't say a word of rebuttal.

As for the "Jade Fan Scholar" Cheng Liang, although he still had a warm smile on his face, the rapidly flapping folding fan betrayed his inner anxiety.

Gongsun Huyou withdrew her gaze calmly, and then swept her eyes across the people in the hall. Wherever her eyes reached, everyone lowered their heads and dared not look her in the eye.

Gongsun You saw this and said coldly: "I hope you can understand that Xianfang is not doing business with you. I think you all know how much the martial arts taught by Xianfang have to do with the status of the people here today."

"Cheng Liang, and this guy..." Gongsun You's eyes narrowed, and he swept a cold gaze over the two of them again, "You are not qualified to associate with the Immortal Boat anymore, get out!"

"Get out!"

Gongsun You's stern shout not only echoed in the hall, but also lingered in the hearts of everyone in the hall.

At this moment, the elegant young man holding the folding fan could no longer maintain the smile on his face. He looked at Gongsun You in horror, his lips slightly opened and he was about to explain something: "I..."

Cang——

The sound of a sword humming passed by.

Gongsun You sheathed his sword with a stern expression.

Bang!
The "Young Master Yushan" who had been chatting and laughing just now staggered two steps in pain, holding his neck, and then fell on his back. Seeing this, people around him all stepped away, fearing that they would be contaminated by bad luck.

When the sturdy man with silver rings all over his face saw this scene, he no longer cared about his face. He suppressed his fear and bowed to Gongsun You and said, "Fairy Gongsun, calm down. I will leave now!"

"Humph!" Gongsun You didn't even look at him, and snorted coldly, "Go away!"

The sturdy man felt as if he had been pardoned when he heard this, and immediately rushed towards the door regardless of everything. Just as he put his hands on the bolt, a smile of escaping death appeared on his face.

Swish!
Everyone in the hall saw a flash of cold light before their eyes.

The smile on the sturdy man's face froze in an instant. He tried to pry open the door with trembling arms, but endless chillness surged up like a tide and swallowed him up in an instant.

As soon as the strong man fell to the ground, the two sword-wielding girls guarding the door came forward, lifted the body expressionlessly, and then opened the door and threw it out. Then the two girls walked into the hall and did the same thing to the body of the scholar with the jade fan.

Bang!
After the door was closed again, Gongsun You said slowly, "I'm sure everyone is familiar with the rules of the Immortal Boat. You all know what happened to the families of these two people."

Everyone's eyes flickered when they heard the words, fear surging in their eyes, their faces were cold, and they listened to Gongsun You's words silently.

"Wait!" Someone suddenly interrupted Gongsun You.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a bald man slowly standing up. It was none other than the "Angry King Kong" Kong Hen!
When they saw Kong Hen stand up, joy flashed in the eyes of the others, and there was a hint of expectation in their eyes as they looked at Kong Hen.

Kong Hen seemed to feel everyone's gazes, and his expression became even more ferocious. He stared straight at Gongsun You and said sternly, "Xian Fang wants to kill their entire family, do you have any basis for that?"

Gongsun You's eyes flickered when he heard this, and he nodded immediately, "Of course I do."

Konghen frowned slightly: "Is it true?"

Gongsun You nodded seriously, then glanced at the others behind Konghen, and then said softly: "Their elders had signed a contract when they set foot on the Xianfang. If the descendants violate the rules of the Xianfang, or are disrespectful to the Xianfang, the Xianfang will clear them out."

Konghen asked again: "Are you sure that both of their martial arts were taught by the Immortal Boat?"

Gongsun You raised his head slightly and said proudly, "Of course. Without the martial arts taught by the Immortal Boat, how could they have their current status and reputation based on their backgrounds?"

Then, seeing that Konghen remained silent, Gongsun You asked calmly, "Master Konghen, have you finished your questions?"

Kong Hen pondered for a moment, nodded, and sat down.

It didn't matter that he sat down. Everyone who had been expecting Kong Hen to be able to suppress Xian Fang's arrogance was immediately disappointed.

Although they dared not express their inner disappointment to others, many people were already cursing in their hearts: "How dare you call yourself a fierce King Kong? I think you are just a bully who only fears the strong and bullies the weak!"

"Watching the witch kill people right in front of him without stopping him, Konghen has learned nothing but Buddhist teachings!"

"What are you talking about, blood for blood, tooth for tooth, and eradicating all injustice in the world? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at when you tell others about it?"

……

Although everyone expressed their dissatisfaction with Kong Hen for staying out of the matter.

But Kong Hen seemed to have heard what these people were thinking. His face became increasingly gloomy, and the hand on the table had already been clenched into a fist. Because he clenched it too hard, his entire arm began to tremble slightly.

Liu Qi, who was looking back, saw the whole scene.

"The angry golden Buddha... is quite interesting." After Liu Qi retracted his gaze, he murmured softly.

Why is King Kong glaring? It’s not because he feels unfair, but because he hates that the other party doesn’t fight back!
Seeing this room full of people today, Liu Qi finally understood that although forces like Xianfang and Jinshan Yinhai Manor are far away overseas, their infiltration into the Central Plains is obviously quite deep.

But when you think about it, it does make sense.

Fleeing far overseas can not only avoid the right and wrong in the Central Plains, but also allow one to come back at any time to reap the benefits. No wonder the Jinshan Yinhai Manor is rich enough to rival a country, and the Kongsang Fairy Boat is full of Buddhist scriptures.

Of course, not every sect can follow this approach.

If one wants to continue stably for hundreds or thousands of years like Xianfang and Jinshanyinhai Manor, the first thing to solve is the issue of inheritance within the sect.

With such a narrow selection of successors, the sect has been able to maintain its combat power against most forces in the Central Plains, which shows that they have their own way of inheritance.

Thinking of this, Liu Qi couldn't help but look back at Gongsun You who was talking.

From Gongsun Yan to Gongsun You, it was already a huge step, and such a transformation took less than half a month.

Then, going from a powerless child to Gongsun Yan should not be a problem for Xian Fang.

The four sword-wielding girls guarding the door looked a little younger than Nineteen, but their cultivation levels were no weaker than Nineteen.

Liu Qi didn't believe that a force far away overseas could be so discerning and casually select so many disciples with amazing talents.

Moreover, according to Yuan Tong's statement and the origins of the Five Supremes, most of Kongsang Xianfang's disciples were trained by themselves.

The women stay as disciples, and the men become criminal slaves?
If this is true, the word "Xian" in Xianfang is really laughable.

"Tomorrow morning, everyone present here can board the Immortal Boat without any conditions!" Gongsun You suddenly raised his voice, "And this time, all the scriptures on the Immortal Boat are open to you, even including the martial arts inheritance of the Kongsang lineage, you will have the opportunity to take a look!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the hall went wild!

"Are you serious? Can we also learn the fairy's martial arts and swordsmanship?" Someone couldn't help but stand up and ask.

Gongsun You nodded and said, "Of course it is true. For hundreds of years, Xianfang has never broken its promise to anyone."

Naturally, some people also heard the hidden meaning in Gongsun You's words, so they asked with lingering fear: "Fairy just said that we are just given an opportunity. May I ask why we can board the fairy boat to study the scriptures without any conditions this time?"

Then, as if noticing the coldness on Gongsun You's face, the person who finished speaking quickly explained: "Fairy, please don't misunderstand. We are just asking, and we definitely don't disbelieve the meaning of the fairy boat."

Gongsun You pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "It's okay to tell you all. This time the Immortal Boat has encountered an unprecedented crisis, and we need your help. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, this will be the last time the Immortal Boat returns to the Central Plains."

"So that's how it is!"

"I was wondering why Xianfang was so generous, and it turns out that he was planning to send us to our deaths."

"There are countless experts in the Immortal Boat. Even they are helpless in this crisis. What's the point of us going there?"

……

Seeing that everyone was discussing and had the intention to retreat, Gongsun You continued expressionlessly, "There are still several hours before dawn, so you can think it over. If you don't want to help, Xianfang will naturally not force you."

"However..." Gongsun You said calmly, "Among the scriptures released this time, there are also martial arts that you have learned."

"So those who don't want to wade into this muddy water should just hope that those who have boarded the boat don't come back."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present showed shock on their faces, and then they turned their heads to look at each other, and they all saw deep vigilance in each other's eyes.
