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

Chapter 339 Xing Yan
“Swordsman…” Kong Sang lowered his eyes and murmured in a low voice.

She raised her eyes to look at Liu Qi again and said in a stiff tone: "Can I see your knife?"

Cang——

Liu Qi did not hesitate at all. With the sound of the sword singing, the Jingji Sword was already unsheathed and placed horizontally in front of him.

Seeing the blade flashing purple light, Kong Sang frowned slightly, "It is indeed the Jingji Sword. How could something from the Yin-Yang family fall into your hands?"

Zheng!
Liu Qi put the knife back into the sheath and replied softly, "There is no Yin-Yang School in this world anymore."

She paused, and then continued, "The era of the Hundred Schools of Thought has passed. If it weren't for the strange man who ran away from your fairy boat, I'm afraid even I wouldn't know that there are so many interesting things in the world."

Kong Sang's eyes flickered when he heard this, as if he was thinking for a moment, then he nodded slightly and said: "It may be an interesting thing for you, but for ordinary people in the Central Plains, it may be a disaster."

Having said that, Kongsang turned around and walked slowly towards the palace gate.

"Miss Liu, please follow me. I know you are not interested in Xianfang's martial arts."

Hearing Kong Sang's words, Liu Qi raised her eyes slightly, then raised her legs with an indifferent look and prepared to climb the stairs. Just as her feet landed on the first step, a vast aura instantly surged from under her feet.

hold head high--

Liu Qi's eyes suddenly focused, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and then the light green energy around him instantly condensed into shape, followed by a pale air slowly overflowing, quickly covering the light green energy, and in an instant Liu Qi was wrapped in a pale sphere.

As if sensing the movement behind him, Kong Sang, who had already walked to the palace gate, suddenly stopped, then turned his head slightly and glanced at Liu Qi who had already stepped onto the stairs.

Her beautiful eyebrows were slightly frowned, and her right hand, which was originally held in front of her, fell down. The jade hand hidden in the sleeve passed gracefully from the side of her body in the gesture of picking up a flower. Starlight suddenly rippled out from under her feet and soon spread to the steps in front of the hall.

The vast aura around him disappeared in an instant, and as the pale aura in front of him gradually faded away, Liu Qi saw a woman in palace dress standing in front of the palace. She didn't say much, but continued to climb the stairs silently, and soon arrived in front of the palace.

Kongsang continued to walk forward only after Liu Qi walked behind him, and explained softly, "Your Qi is too fierce. Not only this palace, but even the entire Kongsang Divine Continent is somewhat unwelcome to you."

Liu Qi followed Kong Sang closely and passed through the black palace gate. What came into view was an empty hall. The floor, walls and ceiling of the entire hall were made of the same material as the outer walls of the palace. Under the pitch-black background, countless fluorescent lights dotted it like stars. Being in the hall, it felt like being in an endless starry sky.

Liu Qi lowered her head in silence. The "stars" under her feet seemed to sense her threat and turned into streams of light and fled in all directions. Soon, all that came into view was darkness.

At this time, Kong Sang had turned around and was looking at Liu Qi with interest. When he saw Liu Qi raise his eyes, he immediately asked, "If you have any questions, just tell me."

Since the other party had already said so, Liu Qi would not be polite. She looked around and then asked softly: "The materials used to build this palace should not be from this world."

Kong Sang nodded: "Yes, this Zhoutian Xingyan Palace was built by the founder herself. She spent almost all her efforts on it, so much so that she passed away not long after the palace was built."

Liu Qi stared at Kong Sang and replied calmly: "Aren't you the Fairy Kong Sang?"

"The master is the master, and I am me." Kong Sang's eyes showed an unbreakable depth. "Although I have inherited the name Kong Sang, I also know that I will never be able to reach the master's realm in my lifetime."

Liu Qi half-believed and half-doubted, "Then how do we explain Gongsun You and Gongsun Yan?"

Kong Sang raised his eyes slightly and looked directly into Liu Qi's eyes: "Miss Liu, do you think she is Gongsun You or Gongsun Yan?"

"Gongsun Yan." Liu Qi did not hesitate at all.

Kong Sang's mouth curled up slightly, and his eyes showed admiration. He then explained in a low voice: "The Buddhist initiation method only focuses on cultivation, but they don't know that cultivation without the corresponding understanding of martial arts is just like giving a child a strong bow."

Liu Qi: "But no matter what, it is impossible to turn a child into a strong man in an instant, unless... there really are gods in this world."

Kong Sang's eyes suddenly lit up: "Miss Liu also believes in the words of the gods?"

Liu Qi shook his head: "That depends on how you define the word 'immortal'."

As she spoke, she lowered her head slightly and glanced at the Jingji Knife on her waist, and continued in a light tone: "Anyone who can be injured by my knife is definitely not a god."

Kong Sang smiled when he heard this, and the starlight in the entire palace also became brighter: "If it is as Miss Liu said, there should be no immortals in this world."

Liu Qi thought for a moment, then replied solemnly: "In this palace, I am no match for you."

Kong Sang raised her eyes slightly when she heard this, with a hint of surprise in her eyes, as if she had not expected Liu Qi to be so frank. Her voice remained calm: "Miss Liu is a little different from what I imagined."

Liu Qi said indifferently: "Don't get me wrong. Although I am not your opponent in this palace, if we fight, you will definitely not be the winner in the end."

Kongsang was stunned for a moment, then covered his mouth and laughed out loud.

"Miss Liu is really interesting." Kong Sang restrained his smile and said seriously, "If Miss Liu is willing, you can stay in Kong Sang Shenzhou. With your talent and cultivation, after inheriting the name of Kong Sang, you may be able to take the last step."

Liu Qi replied without hesitation: "I am not interested in other people's paths. Even if the road is full of thorns, I can cut a path with the knife in my hand."

Kong Sang's eyes flickered: "So, Miss Liu has made up her mind."

Liu Qi nodded: "I came here just to find out what the relationship is between the Nine Cauldrons and the so-called Heavenly Dao, and whether anyone has really taken the last step in thousands of years."

Kong Sang seemed to have anticipated Liu Qi's question. She turned around and walked slowly in the hall under the starlight, saying softly, "Your question also troubled the founder in the past. Looking at the whole world, since the rise of martial arts, the founder should be the person closest to the final step."

Liu Qi asked: "Where is the Great Qin Emperor?"

Hearing Liu Qi mention the Great Qin Emperor, Kong Sang suddenly paused, and then said in a deep voice: "Do you think the Great Qin Emperor was really killed by the joint efforts of all the schools of thought?"

Liu Qi's eyes moved slightly, it seems there is something hidden in this.

Kong Sang then continued, "If the various schools of thought had this ability, why didn't they kill him before the Emperor unified the world? Why wait until he destroyed all the countries and got the Nine Cauldrons before taking action?"

"When the people from various schools of thought broke into the underground palace, the Emperor of Heaven was already dead. Before he died, he had recast the Nine Cauldrons and completed a certain ritual, but he still died."

"After his death, in order to prevent anyone from coveting the way of heaven through the Nine Cauldrons, the various schools of thought separated the Nine Cauldrons that had already been united, and thus the Nine Cauldrons became what they are today." "The elixir of immortality, the Zhurong Pearl, the Canghai Juanyun Sword, and the Yin-Yang Pill." Liu Qi said slowly.

Kong Sang turned his head to look at Liu Qi, then nodded slightly: "The Heaven-Repairing Stone, the Tai'a Sword, the Heaven-Secret Lock, the Holy King Jade, and the Imperial Seal."

Liu Qi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Are these all the Nine Cauldrons?"

Kongsang nodded.

"According to the agreement of the various schools of thought, the elixir of immortality was buried with the corpse of the Emperor of Heaven in the Mausoleum of the Qin Emperor. The Zhurong Pearl was kept by Zhurong's descendants, the Canghai Juanyun Knife was kept by Gonggong's descendants, the Bu Tian Stone was given to the Wu tribe for safekeeping, the Tai'a Sword was in the hands of the Taoists, the Tianji Lock was in the hands of Mozi, the Shengwang Yugui was given to the Confucianists, the Yin Yang Pill was in the hands of the Yin Yang School, and the last imperial seal was in the hands of the leader of the righteous army that destroyed Qin. From then on, the Nine Cauldrons each returned to its own master. In order to prevent the secrets of the Nine Cauldrons from being leaked, the leaders of each family chose to commit suicide to bury the secrets after passing the Nine Cauldrons to the next generation."

Liu Qi said: "But the secret of the Nine Cauldrons was still leaked."

"No." Kong Sang responded, "At least no one knows the relationship between the Nine Cauldrons and the Heavenly Dao, nor does anyone know what the Heavenly Dao is. Naturally, there is no way to know why the ancestors were so afraid of the Nine Cauldrons gathering together, and even risked their lives to protect this secret."

Liu Qi obviously didn't believe this: "Who can guarantee that there are no leaders of the various schools of thought who covet the Nine Cauldrons? Even if they agreed to commit suicide, couldn't they tell this secret to their descendants in advance?"

Kong Sang pondered for a moment and replied softly, "No matter what, there has been no conflict in the world over the Nine Cauldrons for thousands of years."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qi couldn't help but lower his head and ponder.

Speaking of the Nine Cauldrons, the Zhurong Pearl is hidden in her arms at the moment. Her previous owner was Xiao Lang, the founding emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty. In order to suppress the murderous intent in Fang Hen's corpse, Xiao Lang buried the Zhurong Pearl with him.

If Xiao Lang knew that the Zhurong Pearl was one of the Nine Cauldrons and that the Nine Cauldrons were related to the secrets of the Way of Heaven, would she still put the Zhurong Pearl into Fang Hen's coffin?
In this way, the Canghai clan that Zhou Mi came from should be the descendants of Gonggong mentioned by Kongsang. They lived in seclusion in the mountains away from the world, probably to prevent the Canghai Juanyun Sword from falling into the secular world again. However, they did not expect that it was secretly taken out by Zhou Mi, the playful girl, which brought a catastrophe to the entire tribe.

In other words... the person who destroyed the Canghai clan might know the secret of the Nine Cauldrons.

Liu Qi collected his thoughts and asked Kong Sang, "Back then, Fairy Kong Sang went overseas and even took the entire mountain gate with her. Wasn't she doing it for the Yin-Yang Pill?"

"Did that man's disciple tell you?" Kong Sang asked back.

The person she was referring to was naturally the "Five Wonders".

Liu Qi nodded.

Kong Sang's tone suddenly turned cold: "If the master really wanted to follow the footsteps of the Qin Emperor, why would he have to go overseas? Aren't there more Nine Cauldrons in the Central Plains?"

Kongsang then suppressed the anger in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "The reason why Kongsang Shenzhou was taken away is that most of the disciples under the master are young and beautiful female disciples. The master was worried that she would be coveted by outsiders after she left, so he decided to take the entire sect away with him. Moving Kongsang Shenzhou away was nothing more than the master thought it would save trouble."

Taking away an entire mountain is also a convenient way?

However, after Liu Qi thought about it carefully, this approach was really the best option. After all, it was impossible for so many disciples to live on the boat.

Of course, the premise of all this is that Fairy Kongsang has the ability to move the entire mountain gate away.

"Then why did you invite so many people to the Immortal Boat?" Liu Qi asked, "Could it be that you didn't want to use them to get the Yin-Yang Pill?"

This time Kong Sang nodded and admitted: "Yes, I plan to use them to get the Yin Yang Pill."

Liu Qi frowned.

Kong Sang seemed to have noticed Liu Qi's frown, and immediately explained in a low voice: "Miss Liu, please rest assured. If I had any improper thoughts about the Nine Cauldrons, I would have taken action the moment you stepped into the palace just now."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qi sneered and said, "In this case, I'm afraid that the big monk and the poor scholar will get the upper hand."

The big monk and the poor scholar she mentioned were none other than the "angry Vajra" Kong Hen and the "boundless mountain of books" Bai Langhuan.

In the Kongsang Divine Continent, besides her and Kongsang who were in the palace at the moment, there were only two top masters, Konghen and Bai Langhuan.

Liu Qi’s meaning was very clear. You might be able to defeat me with the help of this ghost palace, but you will definitely not be the one who benefits in the end.

Kong Sang obviously also had this awareness. She smiled slightly and said, "No wonder Miss Liu is known as the 'Overlord'. Someone as fearless as Miss Liu is really rare in the world."

"No need to waste time talking." Liu Qi said bluntly, "I came here just to find out what is so magical about the Nine Cauldrons. Now it seems that you can't fully solve my confusion."

After saying this, Liu Qi was about to turn around and leave.

Just as she turned around and was about to take a step, Kong Sang's light voice came from behind her: "Miss Liu, are you not interested in the Yin Yang Pill?"

Liu Qi narrowed his eyes upon hearing this, and then stepped forward.

“Since the Yin Yang Mysterious Pill cannot attract Miss Liu, then I think Miss Liu must be interested in a powerful opponent.”

Liu Qi stopped, then turned his head slightly, his eyes fell on Kong Sang's peaceful face, and then said in a deep voice: "If this opponent is you, then I can still muster a little interest."

Then she looked around and said coldly: "It's this place that I hate. If we want to fight you, I have to go to another place."

Kong Sang smiled and said, "If I were to change places, I'm afraid my beautiful head would be in danger. Kong Sang still has this self-awareness."

"However, I guarantee that Miss Liu will be very satisfied with her opponent this time!"

"Because it's just as fearless as you, and... inhumane!"

Liu Qi replied coldly: "I'll just take it as a compliment."

After hearing Liu Qi's answer, Kong Sang knew that Liu Qi was already interested. He then looked past Liu Qi and looked outside the palace: "Another guest has come. Miss Liu might as well rest on the mountain for a few days. After all, that person has a bad temper. Once you meet him, he will fight to the death!"

Liu Qi didn't say anything, but just lowered his head and glanced at the knife at his waist.

A rival who will fight to the death... is exactly what she wants!
