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

Chapter 399 Chance Encounter
rustling...

Hearing a slight noise coming from behind, Liu Qi turned his head slightly and saw Liu Shijiu, who looked murderous, walking towards him with big strides.

"Is everything cleaned up?" Liu Qi asked.

Liu Nineteen walked closer and nodded expressionlessly: "They are just a bunch of rogues. If they hadn't run into the people from the Six Gates, it would have taken less than a cup of tea to deal with them."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qi immediately slowed down his pace and asked softly, "You didn't fight with the people from the Six Gates, did you?"

Liu Nineteen also followed closely and came to Liu Qi's side. He responded, "I was thinking that if these people didn't know what was good for them, I would kill them as well. But the leader recognized me."

"Oh, right!" Liu Nineteen seemed to have remembered something and continued, "I heard from the head constable that among the people Fu Qingshu brought back to Beijing this time, there seemed to be a young woman wearing a Taoist robe."

Woman in Taoist robe?

Liu Qi raised his eyebrows slightly.

She does know a Taoist woman.

Fu Qingshu came back from Jiangnan, and it just so happened that the Taoist woman that Liu Qi knew was also in Jiangnan.

Yueqing Yao.

What is she doing in Beijing?
……

West of the city, Fu Mansion.

A carriage stopped in front of the gate of the Fu Mansion. The door curtain was lifted by the accompanying guards. When Fu Qingshu was about to get off the carriage with his clothes in his hand, a man hurriedly ran up the steps at the entrance of the mansion.

Fu Qingshu frowned upon seeing this, and then he got out of the car and shouted, "You are so flustered, how can you be so rude!"

"Master..." The man who came running over was the butler who had followed Fu Qingshu for many years. He wanted to speak several times but held back, then looked to both sides anxiously.

Fu Qingshu immediately understood what he meant, and then waved his hand to signal the guards beside him to retreat. Then he walked towards the mansion, and the housekeeper hurriedly followed behind him.

"Master, the eldest young master..." The housekeeper whispered after he stepped over the threshold and saw that there was no one around, "He hurt someone again!"

Fu Qingshu's face changed, and he stopped immediately. He turned his head and whispered to the housekeeper, "Didn't I tell you to be careful? How could you be hurt by that evil beast?"

The housekeeper looked like he wanted to cry but couldn't: "Master, the eldest young master is really too..."

The housekeeper wanted to say "weird", but seeing Fu Qingshu's gloomy face, he took the words back and quickly said: "The eldest master may feel too depressed in the cage, otherwise..."

"Alright!" Fu Qingshu interrupted the housekeeper, "Don't worry about his affairs anymore. I will arrange someone else to take care of it."

The butler was relieved: "I understand."

"Wait!" Fu Qingshu's eyes suddenly darkened, staring at the housekeeper, "You have followed me for more than ten years, you should know that some things should be kept to yourself."

The butler raised his eyes and met Fu Qingshu's sinister gaze. His body suddenly shuddered and sweat broke out on his back. He immediately bent his waist and said repeatedly: "Master, don't worry, I will keep my mouth shut. I won't say a word even if I die!"

Fu Qingshu stared at the butler solemnly for a moment, then silently withdrew his gaze and walked forward.

The butler straightened up only after Fu Qingshu walked away. He looked in the direction Fu Qingshu left, first wiped the sweat from his temples, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

Fu Qingshu walked through a quiet corridor and came to an empty small courtyard.

When he pushed open the gate, he saw the Taoist woman standing in the middle of the yard. He was stunned at first, then quickly suppressed the surprise in his eyes, and then greeted her gently, "Master Le, how come you have time to come here?"

The woman in Taoist robes who had her back to Fu Qingshu turned around immediately after hearing what was said. It was none other than the current walking master of Taiyi Sect, Yue Qingyao.

She smiled brightly and nodded slightly to Fu Qingshu, then said softly, "I accidentally heard that someone was injured in the mansion, so I came to see. Your son has already fallen asleep, so Sir Fu, don't worry."

Upon hearing this, Fu Qingshu's mouth twitched slightly, and the smile on his face was extremely forced, but he still bowed to Yue Qingyao and sighed: "It's unfortunate for my family. I'm sorry to make Master Le laugh."

Yue Qingyao still had a light smile on her face, and replied slowly, "No one is perfect. Master Fu was blinded by evil spirits for a while and made a big mistake. Master Fu does not need to blame himself."

"It's all because of my poor parenting. If I had known he would fall to this point, I shouldn't have... shouldn't have... Alas!" Fu Qingshu couldn't help but be moved as he spoke, and then he covered his face and sighed.

Yue Qingyao's eyes moved slightly: "Since Master Fu is here, Qingyao will take her leave first."

After saying that, she walked out of the yard with light steps. When she passed by Fu Qingshu, she nodded slightly to him as a greeting.

Fu Qingshu also nodded in return, until he caught a glimpse of Le Qingyao disappearing at the door. The expression on his face instantly froze, and then he slowly raised his head and looked at the house in front of him with complicated eyes.

creak-

The door was pushed open.

There was not even a piece of furniture in the empty room. There was only a square iron cage in the middle of the room, with a disheveled man curled up in the cage.

As if sensing someone, the person in the iron cage suddenly moved, then slowly turned around. Under his messy hair, a pair of dazed eyes slowly opened...

"It's you!" When the disheveled man saw Fu Qingshu standing at the door, he almost jumped up. Unfortunately, the iron cage was only half a person's height, and his head hit the top of the cage. After a wail, he curled up on the ground again.

Fu Qingshu saw this scene, and a trace of pity flashed in his eyes. He then closed his eyes to hide the emotion in his eyes, and then said in a deep voice: "What on earth do you want to do? Even Gu Liancheng has fled from the capital. Your conspiracy has been completely exposed, and 'Futian'... will also be burned!"

"Hahaha..." The man in the cage sat up cross-legged with some difficulty, and then after hearing what Fu Qingshu said, he actually laughed out loud with his head raised. The unbridled and arrogant laughter instantly echoed in the narrow room.

Fu Qingshu just watched with an expressionless face.

The man in the cage slowly stopped laughing, then looked at Fu Qingshu with sinister eyes and said coldly: "Let me out."

Fu Qingshu shook his head decisively: "Impossible, considering the sins you have committed, even if you are cut into pieces, it is not too much, you can only stay in this cage for the rest of your life!"

The man in the cage's eyes trembled slightly, and then he said sternly: "Then kill me!"

Fu Qingshu still shook his head: "Your mother asked me to take good care of you before she died..."

Fu Qingshu suddenly fell silent in the middle of his words.

But these words seemed to stimulate the man in the cage. He slammed into the cage like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey. He held the iron bars tightly with both hands and pressed his distorted face against the edge of the cage. He showed Fu Qingshu his sharp white teeth and said, "If you don't kill me, I will definitely kill you!"

Fu Qingshu's face calmed down after hearing this, and he said calmly, "Your brother is dead. Gu Liancheng said that he died at the hands of Liu Qi, and not even a complete body was left."

"Liu Qi..."

Hearing Liu Qi's name, the man in the cage calmed down visibly. He sat cross-legged again, and then said with a half-smile: "The taste of murderous intent... hehe... he deserved to die." "Fu Zhuolin, let me ask you again, what exactly did Gu Liancheng want to do?" Fu Qingshu asked solemnly, "If he wanted to emulate the Great Qin Emperor in his pursuit of immortality, he could just snatch the Nine Cauldrons directly. Why did he have to stir up chaos in the world?"

“Hehehe…” Fu Zhuolin stretched out his hand to push aside the messy hair that covered most of his face, revealing a face that was 60% similar to Fu Qingshu. He then grinned, “Immortality… Fu Qingshu, don’t use your stupid bookworm’s brain to speculate about the existence of those who are close to gods!”

"Gods?" Fu Qingshu's face turned pale. "For their own selfish desires, they disturb the peace of the people of the world. Do they deserve to be called gods?"

Fu Zhuolin sneered and said, "The existence of God does not need to be acknowledged by a bunch of bastards. When His Majesty ascends to the Great Dao, you mortals will know what it means that the heaven and earth are unkind and treat all things as straw dogs!"

sizzle...

"Who is it!" Fu Qingshu suddenly turned around and shouted angrily. When he saw the darkness outside the door like a tide, his eyes widened instantly and a look of horror appeared.

The darkness swallowed Fu Qingshu like an ancient beast, and then rushed into the room. Fu Zhuolin, with a crazy face, was swallowed up by the darkness bit by bit...

"Ok?"

A light exclamation came from the backyard.

Then a green light flashed by, and Yue Qingyao immediately appeared above the courtyard where Fu Zhuolin was imprisoned. The courtyard was silent, as if nothing had happened.

Yue Qingyao's face gradually became solemn, and then she looked around, as if looking for something.

"is her!"

Yue Qingyao couldn't help but murmur as she looked at the familiar figure on the street in the distance.

After she hesitated for a moment, she leaped away into the distance.

……

"Master Le, long time no see." Liu Qi calmly greeted Le Qingyao who suddenly dropped from the sky.

Yue Qingyao looked very solemn. She looked at Liu Qi's calm face, thought for a while and then asked, "Miss Liu, what are you doing here?"

Liu Qi acted innocent and surprised: "Isn't it allowed for people to come here?"

Yue Qingyao pursed her lips and said, "Miss Liu, the end of this street is Master Fu's residence. I think you should know this."

"Fu Qingshu's residence..." Liu Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, "I heard that it was he who solemnly announced to the world that I, Liu Qi, am the Supreme Lord of Heaven."

Yue Qingyao's expression changed slightly.

Liu Qi continued calmly, "I wonder what Master Fu thinks of this situation?"

Yue Qingyao replied in a deep voice: "Miss Liu, now is not the time for you and me to be calculative. Gu Liancheng wants to emulate the Qin Emperor and reunite the Nine Cauldrons. If he succeeds, neither you nor I will be able to escape the fate of becoming a stepping stone for others!"

Liu Qi snorted coldly: "I don't think it's certain who is the stepping stone for whom!"

Yue Qingyao patiently explained: "Miss Liu may not know that Gu Liancheng is very likely to know the reason why the Great Qin Emperor failed in the end. If it were as simple as reuniting the Nine Cauldrons to step onto the Heavenly Dao, those of us who know the secret of the Nine Cauldrons would have taken action thousands of years ago!"

"Oh——" Liu Qi had an expression that said, "It turns out it's not that you don't want to, but that you don't dare!"

Yue Qingyao was quite calm: "What we cultivators pursue throughout our lives is the supreme and illusory Dao. Who can stay out of the way of heaven? I can't do it, and the predecessors of the Dao sect can't do it. Miss Liu, I'm afraid you can't do it either!"

Liu Qi immediately restrained his expression, then looked at Yue Qingyao and said seriously: "To be able to hear these words from you, this trip to the capital is not without gain."

"Master Le, I wonder if your sect's Nine Cauldrons are in your hands?" Liu Qi said as he lowered his eyes slightly to look at the Taoist sword in Yue Qingyao's hand, but Yue Qingyao was shrouded in a mysterious aura, and Liu Qi would find it difficult to see through it without using some tricks.

Zheng——

Yue Qingyao's body suddenly shook, and then her beautiful eyes slightly opened, and then she took a step back. She instantly raised her left hand holding the sword in front of her, looked at Liu Qi with a vigilant face, and said coldly: "Miss Liu, please respect yourself!"

Facing the tense Yue Qingyao, Liu Qi still had an indifferent attitude. She tilted her head to look at Yue Qingyao, then said slowly: "No matter what Gu Liancheng's plan is, he will need the Nine Cauldrons in the end. In this case, why not give them to me? It's better than leaving them in your hands."

"The Tai'a Sword is not in my hand." Yue Qingyao replied coldly, "How can such an important thing be handed over to a person walking in the world!"

"Really?" Liu Qi said calmly, "Then... let me see!"

call--

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly stretched out her right hand, and with her five fingers slightly bent, a fierce gust of wind instantly swept out and attacked Le Qingyao.

Although Yue Qingyao remained vigilant, she did not expect that Liu Qi would actually dare to take action!

Wasn't she hit by Jiang Xuanyun's sword?

With such doubts, Le Qingyao's figure was instantly swallowed up by the strong wind surging from Liu Qi's palm.

hold head high--

But soon a subtle sword chant echoed, and as green light spread out, the strong wind instantly dissipated, and a figure rose into the air. When it reached a height of more than ten feet in the sky, the hand holding the sword suddenly swept slowly in front of him, and then green light bloomed and condensed into a green sword light more than three feet long in the air in an instant.

Liu Qi raised his eyes slightly and looked at the sword tip pointing directly at him, his face still calm.

call out!
At the moment when the sword light flashed, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she murmured in a low voice: "Swordsman... is really boring."

Her right hand suddenly climbed to the hilt of the knife at her waist. Her originally relaxed body suddenly tensed up, and as the breeze swirled up under her feet, an invisible majesty instantly spread out.

Canglang——

The sound of the knife tore through the dull sky.

A crescent-shaped blade light shot up into the sky and collided head-on with the rapidly approaching sword light. As an invisible wave of air surged out from the point where the two sides met, a figure instantly fell from the sky.

beep, beep...

Yue Qingyao fell to the ground in a somewhat embarrassed manner. She staggered for several steps before she could stand. Then she suddenly felt a strong wind coming from the front.

Whoosh!
Empty hands!
Yue Qingyao looked up suddenly and saw Liu Qi playing with her Taoist sword in his hand.

“That’s really not the case!”
