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

Chapter 381 Consequences
"It seems something happened at the orphanage." Gu Liancheng flashed to Liu Qi's side and said in a deep voice.

He also noticed the unusual movement of the aura over there.

Liu Qi retracted his gaze and said nonchalantly, "Lin Shengchuan has been targeted for a long time. I guess the news was passed on as soon as we left. But what's the point of killing Lin Shengchuan? A chief constable of the Six Gates may be considered a top figure in the capital, but what can he do in the martial arts world?"

"Miss Liu, have you forgotten that Lin Shengchuan was the chief constable of the Southern Court before he went to Beijing?" Gu Liancheng glanced at Liu Qi meaningfully. "He has been operating in Jiangnan for so many years, so he must know some secrets."

The Southern Yamen was located in Jiangnan.

Jiangnan.

It’s Jiangnan again!

"Can Lin Shengchuan do it alone?" Gu Liancheng asked worriedly, "Since the other party dared to come to us, he must have a plan in mind. The person who came is probably not too weak."

"Even if it's Jiang Xuanyun who comes, the knife I left for him is enough to deal with him!" Liu Qi said confidently.

Gu Liancheng immediately laughed: "Just with a knife?"

Liu Qi nodded: "Of course."

……

South city, inside the Salesian Convent.

Lin Shengchuan pushed away the beam that was pressing on him, waved his hand in front of his eyes to disperse the smoke and dust, and the scorching purple light instantly made him squint.

After his eyes adjusted to the purple light, Lin Shengchuan looked around and saw that the house he had just been in had become a ruin, and in the middle of the courtyard in front of the house, a short knife flashing with purple light was stuck.

Lin Shengchuan's pupils suddenly shrank as he saw the black shadow behind the Jingji Knife.

There seemed to be a strange aura on the black shadow, which swallowed up all the purple light emitted by the Jingji Blade. Therefore, even if Lin Shengchuan rubbed his eyes hard, he could still only see an outline that resembled a human body.

Of course, without seeing the other person's face clearly, Lin Shengchuan knew at this moment that the person was not friendly!
"Who are you?" He immediately regained the composure of a chief constable of the Six Gates and asked loudly.

What responded to him was silence and a dark figure slowly standing up from a half-kneeling position.

As the black shadow slowly stood up, the strange aura lingering around him seemed to become restless. As the outline of the black shadow continued to spread, a burly, dark shadow with bared fangs and claws suddenly appeared in front of Lin Shengchuan.

A strong and pungent smell of blood instantly filled the air.

Faced with such a situation, even someone as knowledgeable as Lin Shengchuan couldn't help but feel shocked!
His eyes slowly drooped and fell on the Jingji Sword in the middle of the courtyard, which was still emitting purple light.

From the aura of the black shadow, Lin Shengchuan knew that the other party's cultivation must be higher than his own. If he fought hard, he would most likely die here today. Now there are only two paths in front of him.

One is to run away immediately.

Lin Shengchuan's nickname "The Lone Wild Goose Flying Ten Thousand Miles Away" is not in vain. Although the aura of the black shadow made him feel threatened, he was still confident that he could escape at this moment.

only……

After all, Lin Shengchuan is the chief constable of the Six Gates.

After a little thought, he chose the second path.

Believe in Liu Qi!

Before Liu Qi left, he told him that as long as he drew out the Jingji Sword, even if the strongest person in the world came, he would be powerless!

Although Liu Qi was very confident at that time, Lin Shengchuan was still very nervous at this time, after all, it was his life that was at stake.

Now the Jingji Sword has been unsheathed, but the black shadow does not seem to be affected too much, so Liu Qi is really not deceiving him?
Just when Lin Shengchuan was struggling, the black shadow suddenly moved!

Boom!
With a muffled sound, the black shadow suddenly stepped forward.

But just after this step was taken, the Jingji Sword, which was originally emitting purple light smoothly, suddenly began to tremble.

buzzing-

The clanging sounds continued in his ears, and Lin Shengchuan felt his blood churning, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart. His slightly opened pupils suddenly turned blood red, and a murderous aura instantly emerged from his body.

The black shadow who had just taken a step forward seemed to be frightened by the sudden movement of the Jingji Knife. His figure obviously paused, and then he stood there in a daze.

buzzing-

The Jingji Sword was still trembling, and even the purple light it emitted became restless. If you look closely, you can find that there is a trace of white frost on the blade surrounded by purple light.

"what!"

The aura of the black shadow suddenly surged several times, and then a roar that broke through the sky was heard!

Rumble!
The black shadow suddenly rushed towards the Jingji Sword. Just as the darkness surrounding it was about to completely engulf the Jingji Sword, a white light suddenly burst out from the sword.

"Crash..."

Lin Shengchuan, who was tortured by the sound of the knife and whose eyes were about to burst, suddenly heard a crisp sound of waves in his ears. The severe pain in his body disappeared instantly, and the wildly restless blood in his body also calmed down with the appearance of the sound of waves.

The most important thing is that his bloodlust also disappeared out of thin air.

pat!

Lin Shengchuan sat down on the ground with his clothes completely soaked with sweat.

He raised his head slightly and saw a familiar figure hanging above the Salesian Home.

"Your Majesty!" Lin Shengchuan opened his mouth wide. After all, he was also a top master. Even in the dark, he could see clearly that the person coming was the current emperor, Xiao Qifeng, who was known as one of the two best in the world.

Xiao Qifeng stood with his hands behind his back, his feet suspended in the night sky, and he stared solemnly at the white light in the courtyard below.

"Liu Qi." He whispered a name, then stretched out his hand and waved it. A powerful aura overwhelmingly pressed down towards the orphanage below. The white aura condensed into a semicircle and completely enveloped the entire courtyard. A black shadow could be vaguely seen dancing wildly in the white light.

As Xiao Qifeng waved his hand like a mountain pressing down on one's head, the white aura in the courtyard seemed to sense the danger and quickly converged. In an instant, it condensed into a huge white light blade at the original position of the Jingji Knife.

Rumble…

A white blade of light shot up into the sky, and after a loud noise like thunder, the world returned to silence, and darkness once again occupied the night sky.

Xiao Qifeng slowly floated down from mid-air and landed directly next to the Jingji Knife.

He reached out and made a fistful of movement towards the hilt of the knife.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz—whoosh!"

After the Jingji Knife trembled slightly, it actually flew directly towards Xiao Qifeng's hand.

Xiao Qifeng clenched his five fingers and grabbed the hilt of the knife with ease. As a breath gushed out from his palm and instantly spread to the entire blade, the Jingji Knife, which had been trembling just now, completely calmed down.

"I, Lin Shengchuan, pay my respects to His Majesty!" Xiao Qifeng turned around and saw Lin Shengchuan kneeling on one knee to salute him. He frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

Lin Shengchuan's well-prepared speech completely disappeared when he heard Xiao Qifeng's greeting. He was stunned on the spot and his body swayed.

But Lin Shengchuan reacted immediately and replied respectfully: "I am the Chief Constable of the Six Gates, Lin Shengchuan!"

"Where is Liu Qi?" While asking, Xiao Qifeng stretched out his arm in the direction where Lin Shengchuan was kneeling. As he slightly bent his five fingers, a stream of light rushed out from the ruins behind Lin Shengchuan and fell steadily into Xiao Qifeng's hands.

"Clang."

Lin Shengchuan heard a crisp sound, then he raised his eyes slightly and saw the Jingji Sword which had been sheathed in Xiao Qifeng's hand.

"Miss Liu and Gang Leader Gu went to the mass grave outside the city..." Lin Shengchuan took a deep breath and told the whole story.

After Xiao Qifeng heard the "Blood Demon's Ten Thousand Transformations", he immediately turned around and looked at the figure lying on the ground.

Unlike the burly black shadow just now, the figure that had lost the strange aura was now just a thin and ordinary middle-aged man.

Lin Shengchuan also walked forward to take a look out of curiosity. He always prided himself on being knowledgeable and able to remember every face he had ever seen, but the man in front of him was very unfamiliar and definitely not one of the people he had ever seen.

"When did such a master appear in the world?" Lin Shengchuan murmured to himself curiously.

Xiao Qifeng seemed to have no interest in the strange man. He lowered his eyes to glance at the Jingji Knife in his hand, then raised his head and said to Lin Shengchuan, "Did Liu Qi ask you to do this?"

Lin Shengchuan nodded respectfully and said, "Yes!"

Xiao Qifeng said calmly: "Do you know what would happen here if I didn't come?"

Lin Shengchuan's heart trembled, and he instantly thought of what had just happened to him. He vaguely felt that if this situation continued and no one stopped it, there would probably be a big chaos!

Xiao Qifeng looked at Lin Shengchuan quietly for a moment, then said, "Since you are an official appointed by the court, don't act like her and be reckless in the future."

Lin Shengchuan could only quickly reply: "I will follow the emperor's instructions!"

"As for the Blood Devil's Myriad Transformations..." Xiao Qifeng paused, then said, "This is not something you can get involved in. You don't need to ask about it anymore."

"Yes." Lin Shengchuan replied again.

After saying this, Xiao Qifeng raised his head slightly and looked into the distance. After standing there for a moment, he suddenly jumped up and disappeared into the night sky.

"call--"

As soon as Xiao Qifeng left, Lin Shengchuan's body softened and he almost collapsed to the ground. Fortunately, he managed to stand and then couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

After a brief pause, Lin Shengchuan couldn't help but look at the corpse on the ground.

After a struggle in his heart, he walked closer to the corpse, squatted down and examined it carefully.

Although Xiao Qifeng had clearly ordered him not to interfere in the case any further, Lin Shengchuan still wanted to know what truth was hidden behind it out of habit as a veteran detective.

As the world's number one constable, Lin Shengchuan is naturally an expert in autopsies.

People may lie, but corpses cannot!
Lin Shengchuan performed the autopsy just to find out the origins of this mysterious master!
After finding nothing on the outside, Lin Shengchuan skilfully used the dagger he carried with him to cut open the belly of the corpse. However, the moment the belly was opened, a strong and pungent smell of blood, so strong that it made people unable to open their eyes, gushed out instantly.

Even Lin Shengchuan was choked by the overly strong smell of blood and retreated repeatedly.

He immediately tore off a piece of cloth from his sleeve to cover his mouth and nose, and took out a lighter with his other hand.

"call--"

Lin Shengchuan blew up the fire stick and quickly covered his mouth and nose with a cloth, then stepped forward again.

As the leaping flames slowly approached the corpse's opened belly, Lin Shengchuan's exposed eyes suddenly widened, and his pupils trembled, revealing an expression of fear and shock!

He no longer cared about the pungent smell of blood. He suppressed his nausea and reached into the stomach. As his hand groped inside, he heard a slight rippling sound from the corpse's stomach, as if someone was stirring the water in a jar!
……

"Is it Xiao Qifeng?" Gu Liancheng asked for the third time beside Liu Qi, "What did you do to the knife to attract Xiao Qifeng's attack?"

Liu Qi remained silent, then suddenly raised his palm and blasted towards the grave mound in front of him.

boom!
With a loud bang, dirt and gravel were instantly blown up.

Liu Qi then stepped forward, took a look at the dark pit below, and shook his head: "Not here."

Gu Liancheng also stepped forward to take a look, and then said helplessly: "I finally understand why the emperor abandoned the mausoleum that had been built here."

It has nothing to do with the feng shui in the rumors. It is purely because there are too many hidden natural caves and passages underground. If a mausoleum is built here, I am afraid that even without the help of tomb robbers, the people nearby can empty the burial objects!
Liu Qi, who has always been successful since entering the world of martial arts, is helpless in the face of the wonders of nature.

These natural tunnels and deep pits can often penetrate dozens or even hundreds of feet underground. Even if Liu Qi opens up his small world, the range he can cover is no more than a hundred steps. Moreover, due to the barrier of the strata, the effect will be discounted to a certain extent.

"It's not a good idea to keep searching like this." Gu Liancheng said in a deep voice, "I thought of someone who might be able to help us find where these people are hiding?"

Liu Qi hesitated for a moment, then replied: "Are you talking about Jiang Xuanyun?"

Gu Liancheng nodded and said, "His Jue Ling Sword Intent has the power to overturn mountains and destroy ridges. Maybe it can help us dig these evil spirits out of the ground!"

Seeing Liu Qi remained silent, Gu Liancheng continued, "Even if we can't find him, the worst that can happen is that we can just rebury him in this mass grave and let these people never be reborn in the underground!"

"Do you know where Jiang Xuanyun is?" Liu Qi asked.

Gu Liancheng smiled knowingly: "This... I might actually know it!"

"Hmm?" Liu Qi frowned and looked at him coldly.

Gu Liancheng spread his hands and said, "I see that you always look like you can't wait to chop him up, so of course I couldn't tell you before."

“Now…” Gu Liancheng’s smile faded, and he looked down at the ground, saying in a gloomy voice, “No matter who these people are, even if I have to dig deep into the ground, I will catch them all in one fell swoop!”

Liu Qi asked bluntly: "Where is Jiang Xuanyun?"

Gu Liancheng: "You've been to this place too."

Liu Qi: “?”

Gu Liancheng said slowly, "The ruins of the former Zhurong Palace were destroyed and sunk into the ground by the aftermath of the battle between the last palace master, "Red Emperor" Tuoba Xiong, and the founding emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty, "Black Emperor" Xiao Lang."

"Now, two hundred years later, Zhou Weiyang built a general's mansion on it. Unfortunately, the general's mansion has been completed, but the general is..."

In the dark underground palace, there stands a bronze door several feet high.
In front of the bronze gate, an old Taoist priest with a hunched back was sitting cross-legged. A red light flashed on his withered face. After a moment, the old Taoist priest slowly opened his eyes.

"Back then, the Three Emperors and One Madman were so earth-shattering, but unfortunately, times have changed. Now, the Mad Blade, the Seventh Heaven and the Canghai Divine Art are all shining in the world, but only your Red Emperor lineage... Alas!"

The old man's long and deep sigh echoed throughout the underground palace.
