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

Chapter 361 Framed
Shen Lin sat on the first stone step with his head lowered. Although his clothes were intact and he had no injuries, his whole body was shrouded in an aura of death, and it was obvious that he was no longer alive.

When Gu Liancheng landed from the air, he looked at Shen Lin with a serious expression, then quickly turned his gaze to Liu Qi. His sharp eyes caught the bloodstain on Liu Qi's shoulder, and a hint of emotion flashed across Gu Liancheng's face.

Liu Qi turned sideways to face Gu Liancheng and asked without raising his head, "I wonder if Gang Leader Gu is here to collect the bodies, or if he has some other purpose..."

After she finished speaking, she slowly raised her eyes, and her cold gaze instantly met Gu Liancheng's solemn eyes.

This should be the first time that Liu Qi saw the leader of the world's largest gang. He had an unshaven beard and a depressed look on his face, with greasy black hair disheveled. At first glance, he really looked like a beggar on the street.

While Liu Qi was looking at Gu Liancheng, Gu Liancheng was also carefully examining the notorious woman in front of him. On the one hand, he was surprised at her stunning appearance, and on the other hand, he marveled at her powerful strength. Even the leader of the Changle Gang, Shen Lin, died at her hands!

Including Jiang Jiyu before, two of the world's top masters have already been killed by her!
Thinking of this, Gu Liancheng's face darkened.

Although Liu Qi had restrained his breath at this time, his whole body still exuded a chilling aura, especially the cold murderous intent that kept churning in his eyes, which made Gu Liancheng, who was also a top-notch martial artist, feel deeply fearful!
Holding back the discomfort in his heart, Gu Liancheng finally spoke in a deep voice: "Miss Liu, Gang Leader Shen has no grudge against you. Since you have already won, why do you have to kill us all?"

Although Liu Qi heard Gu Liancheng's funny words, she had no time to care about him at this moment, because her current condition was not very good. After mobilizing the small world, Liu Qi felt that her true energy seemed to be completely integrated with the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth. If it were not for the strong murderous intent supporting her, she would probably have completely lost her consciousness now.

I still remember Kongsang once said to me that the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth is like a vast ocean. When you turn into a drop of water and find yourself in it, how can you distinguish yourself from the boundless sea water!

Obviously, for Liu Qi, killing intent is the key to her maintaining her self-identity, and it is also an indispensable condition for her to successfully enter the realm of knowing the subtle.

Suddenly, Liu Qi's body stiffened, and then the aura lingering around him suddenly dissipated, and the cold murderous intent in his eyes also disappeared in an instant.

Liu Qi slowly raised his eyes, looked at Gu Liancheng and said softly: "It's a matter of life and death. If Gang Leader Gu feels indignant, why not come here in person to seek justice."

Although Gu Liancheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief at the sudden disappearance of Liu Qi's intimidating aura, the following words made his face darken.

After a brief silence, Gu Liancheng said in a hoarse voice: "With the Seven Stars and Five Righteousnesses, plus the two supreme masters, does Miss Liu intend to kill her way through like this?"

Liu Qi shook his head when he heard this, and glanced at where Shen Lin was, then replied softly: "I came here to look for Zhu Weitong today, but he blocked my way."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Qi looked at Gu Liancheng and said, "Boss Gu, may I ask if Zhu Weitong is in Sihai Villa?"

After saying that, Liu Qi turned her head and looked around. The area where Sihai Villa was located was not too big. Based on the noise caused by her fight with Shen Lin just now, Zhu Weitong should have had some response if he was on the island.

But until now, apart from the dead Shen Lin and Gu Liancheng in front of him, Liu Qi had not sensed any other top existence on the island.

In other words, Zhu Weitong is really not here!

Just as Liu Qi was lost in thought, Gu Liancheng finally spoke slowly: "According to Madam Zhu, Master Zhu had entered death limbo half a month ago."

Liu Qi raised his eyes slightly and looked at him, and saw Gu Liancheng continue to say: "But in fact... Master Zhu is not in Sihai Mountain Villa."

Liu Qi was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then asked Gu Liancheng in a deep voice: "Why are Gang Leader Gu and Gang Leader Shen here?"

Gu Liancheng's eyes flickered when he heard Liu Qi's question, but he did not answer Liu Qi's question. Instead, he asked back to cover up the past: "Miss Liu, did you come here this time to find out whether Master Zhu is the one hiding behind Futian?"

Liu Qi looked at Gu Liancheng quietly, then nodded silently.

Seeing Liu Qi nod and acknowledge the purpose of this trip, Gu Liancheng put his hands behind his back and said slowly, "To be honest with you, Miss Liu, I already knew about Futian's existence many years ago when I just took over the position of leader of the Beggars' Sect. People from Futian even took the initiative to find me and wanted to invite me to join Futian."

Liu Qi's eyes narrowed, and a murderous aura gushed out of his body.

Gu Liancheng felt the aura emanating from Liu Qi, and his eyes darkened immediately. The powerful aura behind him gradually gathered. He continued in a deep voice, "Miss Liu, there is no need to be so anxious. I did not agree to it at that time, so I have no idea what Futian's conspiracy is."

"You said you don't know, so you don't know?" Liu Qi opened his thin lips slightly, and every word was cold.

As if he had sensed that Liu Qi's aura was gradually becoming cold and restless, Gu Liancheng smiled slightly, with a dazzling golden light looming behind him, and then he said loudly: "I can't control others, but if I say I don't know, then I don't know!"

Swish!
Before Gu Liancheng finished his words, his dark pupils shrank rapidly, and then he suddenly raised his arms in front of him, and bent the five fingers of his left hand slightly to form claws, and grabbed the knife light that was approaching in front of him.

Zheng——

The knife light did not tear Gu Liancheng's left hand as imagined, but instead clamped it tightly, unable to move, and the purple knife light began to tremble violently.

"Ah!"

Gu Liancheng shouted loudly, and the five fingers of his left hand closed instantly, and a ball of golden light instantly engulfed his palm.

Roar--

Along with a deafening roar, the blade light condensed from the purple light collapsed instantly and was swallowed up by the golden light in an instant.

Huhu——

At the same time, Gu Liancheng's right hand had already made a palm gesture and swung towards Liu Qi's face.

Bang!Bang!Bang!
Liu Qi was not afraid at all. He raised his hand and connected with him three times. Every time their palms came into contact, a violent energy would spread out from the center of their palms.

After three strikes, the lake was surging with waves, and the area around the dock was in a mess.

As for Shen Lin, who was originally "sitting" on the stone steps, he was swept onto the steps by the strong wind. His body rolled like a dead pig, and then he fell on his back between the three stone steps.

Gu Liancheng took several steps back and finally stopped his retreat before falling into the lake. After he stood still, he turned his head to look at the tumbling lake water behind him, then turned back and looked forward, only to see Liu Qi standing there without moving.

These two simple moves have already highlighted the difference in strength between the two.

Gu Liancheng's eyes suddenly shifted, passed by Liu Qi, and fell on Shen Lin who was lying on his back on the stone steps.

A hint of pity instantly emerged in his eyes, and he immediately placed his trembling hands behind his back, and then said to Liu Qi loudly: "Miss Liu, I don't want to be your enemy!"

"Oh?" Liu Qi said jokingly without even looking up, "It seems that Boss Gu had a bad temper when he started fighting just now!"

Gu Liancheng's face became serious, and then he said in a serious tone: "Miss Liu, it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. Anyway, there is indeed no connection between Gu and Futian. However, I think Miss Liu should be interested in the person who approached Gu on behalf of Futian back then."

Liu Qi said briefly: "Who is it?"

Gu Liancheng's eyes moved slightly, and after a moment's silence he said bluntly: "It is Zhu Weitong!"

It’s really him!

Seeing that Liu Qi's aura had subsided a little, Gu Liancheng knew that his words had taken effect, so he struck while the iron was hot and said, "It just so happened that at that time, I had just taken the position of the leader of the Beggars' Sect, and someone under my command uncovered a scandal involving Sihai Villa. Later, Zhu Weitong took the initiative to come to me. I was young and hot-tempered at the time and felt that Zhu Weitong was hypocritical and untrustworthy, so I rejected his invitation. Now, looking back, I really helped the Beggars' Sect avoid a disaster!" Gu Liancheng couldn't help but sigh as he recalled what happened back then.

In fact, Gu Liancheng was tempted at that time, because Zhu Weitong invited him to join Futian not to subvert the world and disturb the people, but to find a way to reach the pinnacle of martial arts by studying the Nine Cauldrons.

It just so happened that Gu Liancheng did not have a good impression of Zhu Weitong because of the scandal that his subordinates discovered. In addition, what Zhu Weitong said back then was too vague, so Gu Liancheng just perfunctorily dealt with him and sent him away.

It was not until later when Futian began to stir up the situation, especially after the Wu Ling was broken, that those martial artists whose families were destroyed because of the breaking of the Wu Ling joined in. Only then did Gu Liancheng realize that something was wrong. However, he was too busy with other things at the time to pay attention.

Until now, when the secrets of Futian and Jiuding were almost revealed to the world, Gu Liancheng remembered this past event again. He took the initiative to come to Sihai Villa, wanting to find Zhu Weitong to find out the truth. Unexpectedly, he was greeted by Zhu Weitong's wife Shangguan Ping.

Shangguan Ping told him that Zhu Weitong had reached a dead end and it was unknown when he would be able to break through.

Gu Liancheng naturally didn't believe it, so he secretly went to the place where Zhu Weitong was in seclusion, but he didn't find any trace of Zhu Weitong.

It's obvious that Shangguan Ping is lying.

Gu Liancheng originally wanted to force Shangguan Ping to reveal Zhu Weitong's whereabouts, but he was confident of his status and was unwilling to take action against an old woman who was powerless. In addition, Shen Lin was eyeing him covetously, so Gu Liancheng simply stayed and investigated slowly.

As a result, he ran into Liu Qi coming over.

After listening to what Gu Liancheng said, Liu Qi realized that Shen Lin, who died in her hands, was the distinguished guest invited to Sihai Villa, and Gu Liancheng came uninvited.

"Did Zhu Weitong invite him here?" Liu Qi asked as he looked at Gu Liancheng who was tidying up Shen Lin's body.

Gu Liancheng said without even looking up: "Shen Lin said that he was entrusted by Zhu Weitong, and his Dragon Roar Box was designed by Zhu Weitong himself."

Gu Liancheng turned his head and glanced at Liu Qi. "I'm sure Miss Liu has experienced the power of the Dragon Roar Box."

Gu Liancheng took off his coat and covered Shen Lin with it, then stood up and said without looking back: "I guess Zhu Weitong should have invited Shen Lin back then, and Shen Lin probably agreed, so..."

"That's why he would risk his life to stop me." Liu Qi said bluntly, "If I really find Zhu Weitong and confront him face to face, the reputation of Shen Lin and the Changle Gang will be ruined!"

Gu Liancheng paused, a hint of ambiguous color appeared in his eyes, then he raised his head and looked towards the halfway point of the mountain, and then said in a faint voice: "Even so, Gu still does not want to believe that Zhu Weitong is Your Majesty."

"Or maybe he was tempted by Your Excellency to join Futian..."

Gu Liancheng's voice became lower and lower. It was obvious that he also knew that Zhu Weitong was the biggest suspect now.

"Whether it is true or not, we can just go up and ask Madam Zhu and we'll know." Liu Qi followed Gu Liancheng's gaze and looked towards the hillside, where he saw an ancient two-story building looming in the lush forest. He then smiled coldly, "Boss Gu, did you have this plan a long time ago?"

Gu Liancheng did not refute, but nodded slowly: "Mrs. Zhu should know something about Zhu Weitong's affairs. I think with Miss Liu's means, it won't be difficult to make her speak."

Ha ha!

Upon hearing this, Liu Qi sneered twice in disdain, then leaped up and rushed towards the halfway point of the mountain.

There was no plaque on the door of the quaint little building. Liu Qi stood at the door with a slight frown on her face because she smelled the bloody smell coming out of the building.

When she stepped over the threshold and walked into the hall, she saw a gorgeously dressed woman slumped on the main chair in the hall, with a bloodstain running diagonally across her upper body.

tick, tick...

Scarlet blood was dripping onto the ground bit by bit along the dead man's fingers.

Liu Qi didn't even need to go forward to take a look, he knew that this man was dead and could not die any more!
So, someone got there first.

Or is it a trap set up for himself?

Liu Qi now felt much more relaxed. She simply untied the dagger from her waist and held it in her hand, then walked towards the nearest chair.

Snapped!
The Jingji Knife was placed on the coffee table beside him. Liu Qi leaned his head on the back of the chair with a comfortable look on his face, as if waiting for something.

Fortunately, Liu Qi didn't have to wait too long.

A burst of hurried footsteps came from outside the door.

Then several figures rushed in from the door.

"Hiss——" Someone took a breath.

"Mrs. Zhu!" someone exclaimed.

Liu Qi, who was leaning on the chair with his eyes closed, thought: The one who died is really Madam Zhu!
Ok.

It seems like they are preparing to frame someone!

The thought had just flashed through Liu Qi's mind when a roar that could break through the roof came to his ears.

"Who are you and why do you want to kill Madam Zhu?"

Liu Qi slowly opened her eyes and looked towards the gate. Several angry faces instantly appeared in her eyes. She raised her eyelids slightly and then said softly, "I didn't kill the man. You can do it now."

……

"Ah ah ah..."

Gu Liancheng, who was walking slowly up the stairs, suddenly stopped and slowly looked up in the direction where the scream came from. When he found that the scream came from the building halfway up the mountain, his face suddenly changed.

He immediately tapped his feet lightly and leaped towards the middle of the mountain.

When he arrived in front of the building, he saw Liu Qi, with a relaxed look on his face, walking out of the gate with light steps.

The two looked at each other, and Liu Qi said calmly, "Mrs. Zhu is dead."

She looked at Gu Liancheng and her eyes trembled violently. Then she added softly, "I didn't kill him."
