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

Chapter 414 Troubled Times
Several people sat down in the teahouse.

Master Wo Hu took the tea handed to him by Xiu Shaoyang, said something, and then continued to look at Master Huang Li beside him with a worried look.

Xiu Shaoyang also noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with Master Huang Li. He gently placed the porcelain cup filled with tea in front of Master Huang Li, then turned his head and started chatting with Master Wo Hu.

Although Crouching Tiger Master is a few years older than Xiu Shaoyang in terms of age, there is a considerable gap between the two in terms of both their status in the martial arts world and their own cultivation.

So when Xiu Shaoyang asked about the two of them, Wohu Zhenren hesitated for a moment and then told them truthfully what had happened in the underground palace.

In the eyes of Crouching Tiger Master, Xiu Shaoyang had already caused trouble for Gu Liancheng in Jiangnan, and the two were enemies rather than friends.

As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Although Crouching Tiger Master is still a little worried about Xiu Shaoyang's origin from the Beggars' Sect, the current situation does not allow him to think too much!

After listening to Master Crouching Tiger's account of what happened in the underground palace, Xiu Shaoyang said solemnly, "Does Master Crouching Tiger know about Master Jiang's ascension?"

Crouching Tiger Master suddenly showed a sad look on his face and nodded slowly.

Xiu Shaoyang immediately told Master Crouching Tiger about the situation in the capital.

Upon hearing this, Crouching Tiger Immortal could not help but exclaimed in surprise: "Xiao Qifeng froze the entire capital, how... is this possible!"

It was obviously hard for him to imagine that someone could freeze the entire capital completely by himself, and use his own power of the ocean as a barrier to prevent outsiders from entering the capital.

Only a strong person like Liu Qi, whose cultivation level is almost the same as Xiao Qifeng, can enter and exit freely.

Xiu Shaoyang showed a bit of bitterness on his face, and then he sighed helplessly: "Grandmasters are rarely seen in hundreds of years, but who would have thought that there are several grandmasters appearing in the martial arts world at the same time now."

The grand master is at the level of knowing the subtle.

Not counting Jiang Xuanyun who has passed away, there are four others still alive: Xiao Qifeng, Gu Liancheng, Liu Qi and Kong Sang.

"Now that Gu Liancheng has obtained the body of the Heavenly Emperor, he must have made up his mind to emulate the Heavenly Emperor and gather the Nine Cauldrons to attain enlightenment and ascend to heaven. When our head brother was alive, he once said that if someone reopened the road to heaven, it would be a catastrophe for all people in the world."

Crouching Tiger Immortal suddenly put away the sadness on his face, then stood up and clasped his fists towards Xiu Shaoyang, and then said seriously: "Master Xiu, now only you can save the people from the dire situation!"

Xiu Shaoyang stood up quickly, stretched out his hands to hold down the tightly clenched fists of Crouching Tiger Master, and then shook his head and said in an obscure tone: "Xiu... I am not capable of anything, but there is one thing I can assure you, that is, Xiu and the entire Beggars' Sect will never let Gu Liancheng go!"

When Crouching Tiger Master saw the chill in Xiu Shaoyang's eyes when he mentioned Gu Liancheng, he couldn't help but feel curious about what Gu Liancheng was doing in the Beggars' Sect that was so unpopular that it angered everyone!
"The only solution now is to invite Xiao Qifeng out. He is the one who can truly compete with Gu Liancheng and save the people of the world." Master Huang Li, who had been keeping his head down and silent, suddenly spoke.

"Junior sister!" When Master Huang Li spoke, Master Wohu's eyes immediately showed joy.

Under the gaze of Master Wohu, Master Huang Li slowly stood up, exuding an aloof and cold temperament.

Xiu Shaoyang on the side was also looking at this Qingcheng elder, whom he had only heard of but never seen, with great curiosity.

"Master Xiu." Master Huang Li turned his head and spoke to Xiu Shaoyang, his tone cold and stiff without a trace of emotion.

Xiu Shaoyang's eyes narrowed, and then a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He nodded slightly and said, "Master Huang Li."

"My senior brother passed the position of the head of Qingcheng to me before coming to Beijing." Master Huang Li said in a flat tone.

Xiu Shaoyang immediately stopped smiling when he heard this, then he clasped his fists and said solemnly: "Master, I was rude just now."

Huang Li Zhenren shook his head: "Now is not the time to get entangled in these details. When Senior Brother passed the position of the head to me, he also told me the secret that has been passed down in the sect for thousands of years."

Xiu Shaoyang's face was solemn, waiting for Master Huang Li to continue speaking.

"What Senior Brother Crouching Tiger said just now is not sensational. The Nine Cauldrons are part of the Road to Heaven, and reopening the Road to Heaven is a huge natural disaster for all living beings."

"but!"

Huang Li Zhenren suddenly emphasized his tone: "Master Xiu, don't think that you can be safe just because you are strong enough. I can tell you frankly that once the road to heaven is opened, you, me, including Brother Crouching Tiger, and all the warriors in the world who have reached a certain level of inner strength will have the most tragic end!"

Xiu Shaoyang's expression changed.

Huang Li Zhenren's tone was still calm as he spoke: "Master Xiu, you can imagine the feeling of having your Qi being drained away bit by bit. I think that feeling must be very uncomfortable!"

Click!

Everyone in the teahouse looked in the direction of the crisp sound.

Xiu Shaoyang's face was as gloomy as water, and the porcelain cup in his hand had been crushed, with the broken pieces scattered all over the table.

"Master Jiang...what else did you say?" Xiu Shaoyang asked in a somewhat obscure tone.

Huang Li Zhenren pondered for a moment and replied in a deep voice: "This is what Senior Brother told me before he left... That's all."

Xiu Shaoyang's eyes flashed with brilliance, and then he stared into the eyes of Master Huang Li and asked, "Master, what are you going to do next? The capital is blessed by Xiao Qifeng's power of the sea, and we can't get in at all. We don't know what happened inside. What if Xiao Qifeng..."

Huang Li Zhenren interrupted Xiu Shaoyang while shaking his head: "Xiao Qifeng must be safe. The fact that he froze the entire capital shows that someone couldn't deal with Xiao Qifeng head-on, so they had to attack those around him. I think something must have happened to the people in the capital, which forced Xiao Qifeng to freeze the entire capital."

"But even so, Xiao Qifeng has been trapped in the capital, and we can't get in. Even if we want to help him, we don't know where to start!" Xiu Shaoyang said in difficulty.

"It's not that no one can get in." The light in Master Huang Li's eyes flashed away.

"Liu Qi!" Master Crouching Tiger and Xiu Shaoyang said in unison.

……

At this time, Liu Qi and Tian Xiang were each riding a horse, walking leisurely on another official road.

Tianxiang was a little absent-minded while riding on the horse. She always glanced at Liu Qi who was riding beside her, but quickly averted her gaze as if she was afraid of being discovered by Liu Qi.

After repeating this several times, Liu Qi, who was swaying with the horse with his eyes closed, finally spoke: "Just say whatever you want to say."

After hearing what Liu Qi said, Tian Xiang finally mustered up her courage. She combed the mane of the horse she was sitting on with one hand and asked in a low voice, "Sister Liu, you don't seem to be worried at all?"

"What are you worried about?" Liu Qihui asked.

"Of course I'm worried about the person who stole the body of the Emperor of Heaven!" Tian Xiang raised her voice anxiously, "According to that sloppy old Taoist priest, once someone reunites the Nine Cauldrons to open the road to heaven, people with profound skills like you, Sister Liu, will have the worst fate!"

Liu Qi opened his eyes, but looked ahead quietly, and replied calmly: "I didn't expect that Old Niubizi said so much to you."

Tianxiang saw Liu Qi open his eyes, and squeezed her legs against the horse's belly to urge the horse to take two quick steps. Then she turned around and said anxiously to Liu Qi, who was already half a body behind: "Since Sister Liu also knows how serious this is, shouldn't we go and get the body of the Emperor back now!"

Liu Qi: "Of course I have to settle some accounts with him, but now is not the time."

Tianxiang asked in a daze: "When is the time?"

Liu Qi finally moved his gaze towards Tian Xiang, and then said softly: "At least... let me find a weapon that suits me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Tianxiang's eyes involuntarily looked at Liu Qi's waist.

Liu Qi felt Tianxiang's gaze, and she touched the two bare knife handles at her waist.

Thinking about when Liu Qi had been so poor in weapons since she came to the martial arts world, the Cang Hai Juan Yun Dao was destroyed by the Jueling Sword Qi.

The Jingji Sword was destroyed again by the Qin Emperor.

Apart from the wooden killing knife, Liu Qi did not have a single suitable blade in his hand.

Although Liu Qi can now mobilize the murderous intent of the mad knife without a weapon, she has been accustomed to the feeling of having a knife in her hand for more than ten years.

It was estimated that this was the last battle, and she had to adjust her physical and mental state to the most perfect state!
Wow…

The trees on both sides began to rustle, and a cold wind blew along the official road.

Liu Qi let her black hair dance wildly in the wind. She squinted her eyes and pulled the reins to stop the horse. She said softly, "You've followed me all the way. Come out."

despair!
There was a sudden sinking sensation beneath me.

Liu Qi's narrowed eyes suddenly opened, and a white and slender hand quietly rested on her waist.

"You've been following me all the way, and you haven't said a word. Why do you have to shout now... Sister Liu?" Someone whispered in Liu Qi's ear, and the faint fragrance lingered in her nose.

Liu Qi pursed his lips, and then said coldly: "If you don't let go, I will keep this dog paw."

With a "tsk", the jade hand on the waist quickly loosened, and then a figure flipped over Liu Qi's head and landed steadily in front of the horse.

Kong Sang reached out and touched the horse's head, then raised his eyes and smiled at Liu Qi: "With such a bad temper, no wonder no man dares to approach you even though you are so beautiful!"

Liu Qi said expressionlessly: "If you want to find a man, Fairy Kongsang has come to the wrong place."

"Bah!" Kong Sang spat, then looked at Liu Qi with a flushed face and said coquettishly, "How can any man in this world be as delicate and delicious as Sister Liu!"

Seeing this, Liu Qi pulled the reins and was about to spur the horse forward.

“Hey, hey, hey…” Kong Sang quickly stroked the horse’s head to stop Liu Qi from leaving. Then his face became serious and he said seriously, “Okay, I won’t joke with you anymore. I know what’s going on with the poison among the people in the capital.”

"It's none of my business." Liu Qi pulled the reins hard, pulling the horse's head away from Kongsang's hands. Then he clamped his legs around the horse's belly and rode forward.

A hint of anger flashed in Kongsang's eyes, and the powerful aura on his body disappeared in an instant.

She silently stepped aside and watched Liu Qi walk forward. Only after the two of them walked away did she stamp her feet and snort coldly.

"Why are you so proud? If that day really comes, I don't believe you can stay out of it!"

……

"Sister Liu, that beautiful sister just now..."

Liu Qi decisively interrupted Tian Xiang's words: "Although she can be considered an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years, I'm afraid she can't bear to be called sister in front of you."

The Kongsang Fairy was a person who lived eight hundred years ago.

The Qin Emperor lived more than a thousand years ago.

Tianxiang is the boy and girl beside the Emperor of Qin. I am afraid no one in the world can bear to be called sister.

Tianxiang blushed upon hearing this and shut up obediently. It was not until she fell behind Liu Qi by several steps that she murmured in dissatisfaction, "It's not like I want to live for these thousand years!"

Liu Qi and Tian Xiang came to a small town.

The entrance to the town was in a mess, with even two half-naked bodies thrown in the grass on the side of the road.

Liu Qi didn't feel anything when he saw this scene, but Tian Xiang, who was traveling with him, looked reluctant.

This small town is more than a hundred miles away from the underground palace. Logically speaking, even if it was affected by the collapse of the underground palace, the damage would not be too serious.

You should know that the towns closest to the underground palace are devastated and full of misery.

In addition, the capital is now frozen and the court is leaderless. The only way to rescue the disaster is to rely on the local government. But as far as the current situation is concerned, the local officials seem to not want to take care of it.

So as Liu Qi and Tianxiang walked along the road, they saw that the official road was crowded with fleeing survivors.

The road to heaven has not yet been opened, but the world is already showing signs of the end of the world.

Liu Qi was also very clear in her mind that the current situation was mostly due to her. If she had not directly destroyed the underground palace, the people nearby would not have been affected.

The two entered the town. The main street was in a mess. All the shops along the way looked like they had been looted, and corpses could occasionally be seen in the shops on the street.

Seeing this, Tianxiang couldn't help but move closer to Liu Qi.

The situation in the town was obviously not caused by natural disasters, but by man-made things!

In times of chaos, there is no shortage of people who stir up trouble. Judging from the scars on the bodies on the roadside, it should be a group of people who looted this place.

It seems impossible to have a full meal here.

Liu Qi could only walk forward with Tianxiang through the town. Before they got back to the official road, they ran into the group of thieves who had looted the town near a sparse forest.

"Ah—don't!"

"Hahaha……"

The forest was filled with the continuous sound of a woman's shrill screams and a man's wanton and unbridled laughter.

Outside the woods, several soldiers in armor leaned their heads out and stared at the rolling waves of flesh in the woods, with desire in their eyes.

It was obvious that these people were assigned to stand guard outside.

Perhaps they were too jealous of their companions' behavior in the woods, and the people outside did not notice the approach of Liu Qi and the other two.

Da da da……

It was not until Liu Qi came close to the woods that the sound of horse hooves startled a few people.

"Who is it?" A bearded soldier suddenly turned around and asked, raising the knife in his hand.

However, when he saw that the person coming was Liu Qi, the vigilance in his eyes instantly disappeared, replaced by a lustful look and a wanton smile that quickly appeared at the corners of his mouth.

"Hey, little lady..."

Swish!
With a flash of green light, four heads flew into the sky at the same time.

Liu Qi didn't give the other party a chance to talk nonsense.
