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

Chapter 385

Kong Sang's eyes flickered, with a faint smile on his face: "It's really a coincidence that Sect Leader Jiang came."

Jiang Xuanyun seemed not to have heard the implication of Kong Sang's words. He turned around and looked around, then replied softly: "I didn't expect that there would be another world under the ground. I don't know who did it."

"If I'm not mistaken, this underground palace should have been built on the site of Zhurong Palace." Kong Sang explained softly, and then raised his hand to point to the towering palace in the distance, "I thought this was the place Xiao Lang left for himself to be promoted, but now it seems that the person in the palace should not be her!"

Jiang Xuanyun was shocked when he heard this: "Grandmaster Xiao Lang?"

Kong Sang nodded and walked slowly forward until he was at the same level as Jiang Xuanyun.

After she stood still, she slightly side-glanced, her beautiful eyes swept across the old Taoist's weathered face, and then continued: "The real master's surname is Jiang, I believe you must have heard of the Canghai clan."

Jiang Xuanyun's face darkened slightly when he heard this, and then he nodded: "There was a saying in the clan that the ancestor was a descendant of the water god, and fled to Shu in ancient times because of a great catastrophe in heaven and earth."

"That person is Jiang Mi... Oh, we should call her Zhou Mi now." Kong Sang turned his head and smiled at Jiang Xuanyun, "Master Jiang, do you know her identity?"

Jiang Xuanyun nodded solemnly and said, "If I'm not mistaken, she should be the mysterious woman who followed Xiao Lang back then. It was she who passed on the Cang Hai Divine Art and the Cang Hai Rolling Cloud Blade to Xiao Lang."

Kong Sang sighed: "The Canghai clan stayed away from the world for nearly a thousand years to protect the secret of the Nine Cauldrons, but they still couldn't escape the fate of being wiped out. It seems that everything has already been determined."

Liu Qi had also walked up to the two of them at this time. Seeing that they were discussing Zhou Mi's life experience, he immediately said, "Do you suspect that Xiao Lang destroyed the Canghai clan?"

Kong Sang looked at Liu Qi and nodded slowly, "I can only say that she has the biggest grudge. As far as I know, Xiao Lang did not die of illness that year, but suddenly disappeared one day. In the end, they had no choice but to announce to the public that she had died of illness."

Kong Sang actually smiled as he spoke: "What Xiao Weilie said just now is actually not wrong. Xiao Lang is obsessed with martial arts and has no children, so the Great Qi Empire is really a bargain for the Xiao family."

Liu Qi replied calmly: "But the one sitting on the dragon throne now is not a member of the Xiao family."

“That’s why I always say that people in this world are stupid and evil. They are willing to sell out everything for the so-called power, but in the end they still cannot escape death.” Kong Sang said with bright eyes, “Only by understanding the way of heaven and immortality can we truly be freed from this endless sea of ​​suffering and reach the other shore.”

Liu Qi: "So you suspect that Xiao Lang destroyed the Canghai clan because she wanted to pursue the Heavenly Dao you mentioned."

"The palace is right in front of us. We'll know if it's her or not at a glance." Kong Sang looked at Liu Qi and smiled, "Sister Liu, can you let me go in and take a look?"

Liu Qi ignored Kong Sang and turned his head to look at Jiang Xuanyun. He saw a strange look in the old Taoist's cloudy eyes. It was obvious that he was also very interested in who was buried in the palace.

Liu Qi glanced sideways, and glanced at the stone pillar more than thirty steps behind him. He saw a man lying behind the stone pillar, revealing a messy upper body. His clothes had been torn, and his chest was covered with bloody scratches...

The corpse was that of Xiao Weilie. From his distorted face, it was not difficult to tell that he must have experienced unimaginable torture before his death. The sparks from Kongsang almost covered the entire underground palace. With his level of cultivation, he was unable to withstand the power of the sparks and could only watch himself die in agony as his internal organs burned to ashes.

Liu Qi retracted his gaze and said in a cold voice: "You can look at it, but you can't take the things inside with you."

Kong Sang's eyes flickered slightly when he heard this, and then he nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, Sister Liu. If I wanted the Nine Cauldrons, I would not give you the Yin Yang Pill so easily that day."

She was not being arrogant when she said this. With the cultivation level that Kongsang had just displayed, if she wanted to snatch the Yin-Yang Pill in Kongsang Divine Continent, with Liu Qi's cultivation level at that time, he might not be her opponent.

After a brief thought, Liu Qi nodded in agreement.

"Master Jiang, why don't we go together?" Kong Sang turned to Jiang Xuanyun and invited him.

Jiang Xuanyun smiled and stroked his long beard: "Then I'd rather obey than be respectful!"

The three of them walked towards the palace side by side, and soon they arrived at the palace gate.

Liu Qi looked up at the palace gate and felt that the inscription on the gate looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

Kong Sang, who was walking in the middle of the three people, said with a smile: "Master Jiang should be very familiar with this bronze door. Since you came to Beijing, you must have studied this door a lot."

As soon as Kong Sang finished speaking, Liu Qi suddenly recalled that this door was exactly the same as the bronze door in the underground cave of the imperial palace. She still remembered that when she first saw the bronze door, if it were not for the murderous intent, she would have been in trouble.

"This was the treasure of the Zhurong Palace in the past. It is said that it records the Zhurong Palace's supreme martial arts, the Six Heaven-burning Styles. Back then, the Red Emperor Tuoba Xiong only comprehended three of the styles and was already among the top three in the world. After his great battle with Xiao Lang, the Zhurong Palace disappeared from the martial arts world."

Listening to Kong Sang's patient explanation, Liu Qi walked forward expressionlessly and pushed open the heavy bronze door.

creak-

The door slowly opened, and the palace was not as dark as everyone had imagined. On the contrary, it was brighter inside than outside.

Liu Qi stepped into the hall, raised his head and looked around, and found that the source of the light was actually countless fist-sized beads on the top of the hall, which were emitting warm light.

The hall was very empty, with nothing in it except a stone coffin in the middle.

It seems that the real owner is in that sarcophagus.

Yin-Yang Pill, Jade Sceptre, Canghai Rolling Cloud Blade and Zhurong Pearl...

Liu Qi calculated carefully in her mind that she already had four of the Nine Cauldrons in her hands, and there were still five lost outside.

The imperial seal had just returned to the capital with Zhou Mi, the elixir of immortality was in the body of a woman named Tianxiang, the Taia sword was in the hands of Yue Qingyao, the current leader of the Taiyi Sect, and only the Bu Tian Stone and the Tian Ji Stone were missing.

So is this sarcophagus containing one of the two, or both?
With doubts in mind, Liu Qi walked forward with the two people beside him and finally came close to the sarcophagus. The three of them looked at each other at the same time. Finally, Kong Sang and Liu Qi each took a half step back, and Jiang Xuanyun reached out and slowly pushed the coffin open.

hum-

The dull sound instantly echoed in the hall.

Liu Qi smelled a rotten smell, then took a step forward and looked into the sarcophagus, only to see a skeleton lying inside.

"This is..." Kong Sang's face was solemn, as if he had not expected this to be the case.

Jiang Xuanyun seemed to have discovered something, and then he reached out his five fingers to grab the coffin, and something fell into his hands with a "whoosh".

Jiang Xuanyun did not hide anything and directly spread his hand in front of Liu Qi and Kong Sang. A jade pendant was lying in the palm of his hand.

"This is the jade pendant that Emperor Wenzong of the Great Qi Dynasty has carried with him since he was born." Jiang Xuanyun explained, "So it seems that the dry bones in the coffin should be the Emperor Wenzong who was unparalleled in both civil and military affairs." Click!

Kongsang suddenly pressed his palm on the sarcophagus. With a crisp sound, dense cracks instantly spread all over the coffin.

She seemed a little angry.

Just as Liu Qi was confused, Kong Sang had already turned around and walked out of the palace with big strides.

"Hehe... It seems that Fairy Kongsang didn't find what she wanted." Jiang Xuanyun put the jade pendant in his hand back into the sarcophagus, and then his skinny hand gently waved across the sarcophagus. With a "hum..." sound, the coffin closed again, and the cracks on it gradually disappeared.

After Jiang Xuanyun withdrew his hand, he bowed slightly to the coffin and then explained to Liu Qi calmly, "Miss Liu, I believe you have heard the legend of the Nine Cauldrons."

Liu Qi nodded silently.

Jiang Xuanyun turned around and gestured to Liu Qi to invite him in. As they walked out of the palace, Jiang Xuanyun said, "In fact, the Great Qin Emperor had already completed all the steps, but for some reason he failed at the last moment. When the people from various schools of thought arrived, the Emperor was already dead. But in order to prevent the emergence of ambitious people like the Emperor who coveted the Heavenly Dao in the future, they used their own methods to separate the Heavenly Dao power that had been reassembled, and that is how the Nine Cauldrons exist in the world today."

Liu Qi narrowed her eyes slightly, and immediately pointed out the key to Jiang Xuanyun's words: "Gathering the Nine Cauldrons is only the first step, and... it is the simplest step."

"Hahaha..." Jiang Xuanyun laughed out loud, "Miss Liu is so smart, she understood it immediately."

Liu Qi lowered her eyes slightly and said to herself, "The reason why Kong Sang let me get the Yin Yang Pill and was not even interested in the other nine tripods in my hand was because she knew that those who gathered the nine tripods were not necessarily the ones who could make it to the end."

Liu Qi suddenly stopped, turned his head and looked at the palace behind him, and then asked in a deep voice: "What exactly is she looking for here, the Heavenly Secret Stone or the Heaven-Repairing Stone?"

Jiang Xuanyun shook his head: "I have told Miss Liu everything I know. The next step is up to you. I am dying. Even if the world turns upside down, it will not affect me. I just hope Miss Liu can think more about the people of the world."

Liu Qi responded, "Then Sect Leader Jiang may have entrusted the wrong person. Liu Qi's mind is too narrow and cannot accommodate the people of the world."

Jiang Xuanyun laughed instead: "Miss Liu, you are wrong."

He pointed upwards like a wretched little head, then smiled and said, "Perhaps it's a good thing for the people of the world that 'they' can't see it."

Liu Qi fell silent upon hearing this. Although she still had doubts about Jiang Xuanyun in her heart, these words changed her impression of him.

As if he saw what Liu Qi was thinking, Jiang Xuanyun smiled slightly: "Miss Liu, you don't need to do anything special, just stick to your heart."

"Rumble--"

Suddenly there was an earthquake and countless rocks fell from above.

Liu Qi keenly caught a hint of the familiar dragon roar from the endless sounds. While calmly dodging the falling rocks, he casually said, "It's Gu Liancheng."

"Boss Gu, he just came down with me, and when he was less than ten feet away from the underground palace, he suddenly went to another place." Jiang Xuanyun replied repeatedly.

Rumbling--

Another loud noise was heard.

Liu Qi looked up at the countless rolling dust on the top, and then said loudly: "Let's get out first, this place may collapse!"

Jiang Xuanyun nodded in agreement, and then said loudly: "Miss Liu, please make way. I will lead the way!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Qi immediately moved aside to make room for Jiang Xuanyun behind her. Just as she moved to the side, a sharp gust of wind suddenly whistled past her ears.

"Open!" Jiang Xuanyun had flashed in front of her without her knowing when. A long sword slipped from his sleeve and was then tightly grasped in his hand. Facing the overwhelming rubble, Jiang Xuanyun shouted softly and then swung the long sword in his hand forward suddenly.

laugh--

An extremely fine sword light quickly swept towards the top of the underground palace, cutting off all the rubble blocking the way.

Liu Qi couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly, silently watching the sword light that was getting farther and farther away, until the sword light was completely lost in the smoke and dust.

boom!
Along with a deafening roar, a green beam of light suddenly appeared at the place where the sword light had just disappeared, and Liu Qi's pupils were instantly covered by the green light.

boom--

The ground of the mass grave began to tremble violently, and the gravel on the ground also danced wildly. Suddenly, a beam of light broke through the ground and went straight into the sky. The huge beam of light instantly lit up the dark night sky and dyed the earth green.

"Wife, come out quickly and see the miracle!" Countless people woke up from their sleep. In such cold weather, they didn't even have time to put on more clothes and hurried out of the house, looking at the pillar of light that pierced the sky in the distance.

The palace was also in chaos. Faced with such a miraculous scene, more people still felt genuine fear.

Xiao Qifeng stood on the roof of the Golden Palace with his hands behind his back, staring at the beam of light. A moment later, two graceful figures suddenly appeared and landed not far behind him.

"It looks like the work of Jiang Xuanyun." Zhou Mi narrowed his eyes and said softly.

Xiao Qifeng said without turning his head: "Liu Qi is also there, aren't you afraid that Jiang Xuanyun will attack her?"

When Xiao Qifeng mentioned Liu Qi's name, the graceful figure standing next to Zhou Mi trembled noticeably.

Zhou Mi gently patted the hand that was holding his arm, and then laughed softly: "If Jiang Xuanyun attacks Liu Qi, then everything will be revealed. Jiang Xuanyun is the hidden master. The rest can be left to you."

……

After a brief silence, Xiao Qifeng slowly said, "I'm not sure of winning."

Zhou Mi blinked and then took something out from his pocket: "What if I add this?"

Xiao Qifeng finally turned around. He glanced at the object in Zhou Mi's hand and said seriously, "Even if you invite Xiao Lang out, we two together against Jiang Xuanyun are not sure of victory."

Zhou Mi was about to speak with anger on his face, but Xiao Qifeng turned around again and said quietly, "Some things are not as simple as one plus one equals to one. Since the day Jiang Xuanyun entered the capital, his sword intent has spread throughout the capital. If he moves, the entire capital will be burned down!"
