Chapter 442 You Choose

Xu Yongding's martial arts skills were not as good as his brother Xu Yongyuan's, but after years of training, he had also reached an above-average second-rate level. The distance was so close, and he had been planning in his mind for a long time, so Xu Yongding had already put all his strength into his attack, and the dagger in his hand was already on the opponent's throat in the blink of an eye.

Seeing the sharp blade about to penetrate his throat, Xu Yongding did not reduce the strength in his hands at all, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

wow——

But the next second, the scene in front of my eyes suddenly went black!
Before Xu Yongding could react, he felt as if he was falling into an abyss and his body could not stop falling. He waved his hands and feet frantically, but it was in vain.

"Blame it if you want..." A faint male voice came from the darkness, "Liu Qi's flaw is not with you and your wife."

Zheng——

Suddenly, Xu Yongding heard the sound of swords clanging, and the darkness around him surged towards him like a tide. Xu Yongding could only stare wide-eyed helplessly, watching the darkness swallow him up bit by bit.

Deng!
A porcelain cup was slowly placed on the table.

The figure of the woman sitting behind the table suddenly became blurred, and even the surrounding scenery became hazy.

Soon, the woman behind the table disappeared, and was replaced by Gu Liancheng.

He calmly picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. After chewing it for a few times, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Then he shook his head and whispered, "It turned out to be arsenic..."

Gu Liancheng ate leisurely. After a quarter of an hour, he got up and left the room.

Bang!

The door is closed.

Xu Yongding and Tao were lying on the table, facing each other with their eyes closed, and there was no sign of life in their bodies.

……

The bodies of Xu Yongding and his wife were found two days later. When the owner of the house came back, he opened the room and saw two bodies lying on the table. He was so frightened that he quickly reported to the police.

It took the government two days to find out the identities of Xu Yongding and his wife, and the news was quickly delivered to Xu's residence.

Upon learning that Xu Yongding and his wife were dead, Fang, the eldest sister-in-law, fainted on the spot.

Liu Qi, who was meditating in seclusion, learned the news from Xu Fangfei.

She slowly opened her eyes, and the faces of Xu Yongding and the Tao couple appeared in her mind, but there was no ripple in her heart, and she just responded lightly, "I know."

Xu Fangfei stood outside the door, her eyes were red, obviously she had cried. She felt a little uncomfortable when she heard Liu Qi's bland response, but when she thought of her father's instructions, she could only suppress her dissatisfaction and asked in a hoarse voice, "My father is going to bring Third Uncle and Third Aunt home with Qing Huai. He asked me to ask you if you want to go with them."

Liu Qi thought about it, then got up and opened the door. She saw a flash of surprise in Xu Fangfei's eyes.

"When are they going to leave?"

"Now."

Liu Qi looked at the cloudless blue sky and nodded.

Finally, Xu Yonghuan took Liu Qi and Xu Qinghuai to pick up Xu Yongding and his wife.

The three of them brought the coffin to the town day and night and found that Xu Yongyuan had already been there and had brought the coffin to bury Xu Yongding and his wife.

It was already late at night, and the yard where the coffin was placed was brightly lit. Xu Yongyuan, dressed in white, was guarding the door. When he saw Liu Qi and his party arrive, he immediately came to greet them.

"Big brother!"

Xu Yonghuan dismounted and when he saw Xu Yongyuan he couldn't help but shout out with tears in his eyes.

Xu Yongyuan showed grief on his face, then patted his brother's shoulder, lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice: "My third brother and his wife are in there, go and see them."

Xu Yonghuan went there stumbling.

Only then did Xu Yongyuan look at Liu Qi and Xu Qinghuai who were walking behind him.

Liu Qi still had no expression on his face.

Xu Qinghuai, who was wearing a Taoist robe, looked pale. Although he did not shed tears, the grief in his eyes was hard to hide.

"Uncle."

In response to Xu Qinghuai's greeting, Xu Yongyuan also patted him on the shoulder, and then motioned him to go to the yard.

After Xu Qinghuai left, Xu Yongyuan's eyes shone, and then he stared into Liu Qi's eyes and asked in a deep voice: "Who killed your parents?"

Liu Qi said succinctly: "Gu Liancheng."

Xu Yongyuan's face changed, and his body swayed. Then he lowered his head silently, and a look of sadness immediately filled his face.

"Go see your... parents."

"Ah."

Liu Qi responded and then walked past Xu Yongyuan.

The atmosphere in the courtyard was somewhat solemn. Xu Yonghuan was sobbing in grief, Xu Qinghuai was speechless, and there were two pitch-black coffins.

Liu Qi stepped forward and saw his parents lying in the coffin.

She didn't know what her mood was at this moment, but when she saw Tao's peaceful face, Liu Qi's heart was touched for a moment.

She slowly stretched out her hand and placed it on Tao's forehead. As the pale aura gushed out from her palm, the cold aura that was spreading around quickly gathered towards the coffin, and soon formed a vortex, continuously attracting the surrounding aura.

Xu Qinghuai, who was standing in front of Tao's coffin like Liu Qi, was the first to notice the change in the breath. As the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth continued to gather, Xu Qinghuai felt that breathing was becoming more and more difficult, and the true Qi in his body began to surge wildly...

Finally, he couldn't help but rush to the side, taking away his second uncle Xu Yonghuan who was lying next to his father's coffin.

"What's going on!" Xu Yonghuan felt his body lighten, and when he looked up, he found that he was already outside the yard, so he couldn't help but ask.

But no one responded to him.

Because Xu Yongyuan and Xu Qinghuai were standing side by side in front, both gazing at the top of the yard.

"What does Fangfu want to do?" Xu Yongyuan's face turned pale and then he couldn't help but ask.

Xu Qinghuai shook his head, a solemn look on his face.

At this moment, the yard where the coffins of my parents are placed is like an insatiable abyss, continuously attracting the surrounding Yuan Qi of heaven and earth.

Now the mighty energy of heaven and earth gathered above the yard has reached a terrifying level!

Just when Xu Qinghuai was worried, the wind and clouds suddenly changed, and the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth gathered above dissipated in an instant.

Just as Xu Qinghuai and the other two were showing surprise, Liu Qi walked out of the yard.

Liu Qi stopped at the door, then glanced at the three people and said softly: "I'll leave this to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, without giving the three people a chance to speak, Liu Qi suddenly disappeared.

……

There is no resurrection after death.

Even though Liu Qi's cultivation has reached an astonishing level, he cannot change the ending of the death of Xu Yongding and his wife.

The reason why she gathered the Yuan Qi of the entire town was to see what happened to Tao before he died.

The result surprised her.

Especially Dow.

She saw through Gu Liancheng's trick from the beginning, but she was willing to accompany him to continue. What touched Liu Qi even more was Tao's whisper before she died.

"Fang Fu...is long gone."

Could it be that Tao had already figured out that she was not Xu Fangfu?

Now that Tao is dead, Liu Qi can no longer ask further questions.

But since Gu Liancheng was the first one, if she, Liu Qi, didn't respond, wouldn't it be a disgrace to her reputation as the Overlord?

Coincidentally, through Tao's memory, Liu Qi also learned about the existence of some people.

Gu Liancheng is now wanted by the Beggars' Gang. Although he is a martial arts master, he is still like a fish in water in the martial arts world. There must be someone helping him behind the scenes.

He has been in charge of the Beggars' Sect for many years and is the leader of the Xiaoyao lineage. He has always been famous for his generosity and hospitality. Even though his identity has been exposed now, there are still many people who have close contacts with him in secret, including many from the Beggars' Sect.

It was true that what Gu Liancheng exposed to the world was nothing more than his identity.

But if you think about it carefully, Your Excellency and the "Futian" he leads do not seem to have done any evil deeds in the underworld over the years, and they are mostly targeting the imperial court.

Especially after breaking the Wu Order, Futian took in many people from the martial arts world who were wanted by the imperial court. In the eyes of the martial arts people, he more or less left a good impression on him.

In addition, there are indeed many people who have benefited from Futian or Zun Shang.

It is no surprise that Gu Liancheng has someone to help him now.

……

Xu Yongyuan brought the coffins of Xu Yongding and his wife back to Qingjiang Prefecture and held a ritual.

Just when the burial was about to begin, the prefect Feng Qun, who had disappeared for several months, came uninvited.

After Xu Yongding and his wife were buried, Xu Yongyuan invited Feng Qun to his study.

"Liu...where is Miss Fangfu from your family?" Feng Qun went straight to the point and asked directly about Liu Qi's whereabouts.

Exhausted both physically and mentally, Xu Yongyuan shook his head: "My niece, Prefect Feng, must also know about this. I'm afraid only she knows where she went."

Feng Qun took out a stack of files from his bosom with a solemn expression: "Captain Xu may not know yet, but your eldest daughter is killing people in the surrounding area right now, and there are already three families whose entire clans have been wiped out!"

"What!" Xu Yongyuan was also shocked, then he took the file and scanned it at a glance.

Feng Qun was not troubled by Liu Qi's killings, but simply by the identities of the people Liu Qi killed.

Seeing Xu Yongyuan's solemn expression, he guessed that the Xu family might not really know about Liu Qi's behavior, so he said in a deep voice: "We just received news this morning that the Beggars' Sect's branch in Wujiang was destroyed, including the leader Yao Wanshan, a total of 73 people died."

Feng Qun paused, and then continued: "None of the dead had any injuries on their bodies, except for a thin scar on Yao Wanshan's neck."

Snapped!
Xu Yongyuan closed the file and stared at Feng Qun with wide eyes: "Was it really Fang Fu who did it?"

Feng Qun smiled bitterly, "Captain Xu, your lady had no intention of hiding her whereabouts. All of them were killed in broad daylight. Many passers-by saw her walk into the branch rudder with their own eyes, and walk out leisurely in less than a quarter of an hour."

Xu Yongyuan silently opened the file, and sure enough, all the murders in the file were the same. They all happened in broad daylight under the watchful eyes of everyone, without even a mask on!

"Where is she?" Xu Yongyuan took a deep breath and then asked.

Feng Qun shook his head: "Captain Xu, you forgot that Wujiang is the branch closest to the Beggars' Sect headquarters!"

Beggars' Sect?

Xu Yongyuan was stunned for a moment.

Could it be that she wanted to take the entire Beggars' Sect with her to be buried with her?

……

“Liu Qi, do you really want to bury the entire Beggars' Sect with your parents?” The white-haired old man knelt on the ground with empty arms, but still raised his head and cursed at the woman sitting at the bow.

Liu Qi sat on a wooden barrel at the bow of the boat, looking at the island that was looming in the distance, then slowly turned his head to look at the old man.

The two looked at each other. The old man who was cursing suddenly became speechless when he saw Liu Qi's calm eyes. Then a cold voice came to his ears:

"That depends on whether all the members of the Beggars' Sect are in cahoots with the man named Gu!"

"Elder Yang, I seem to have heard that you are clearly a chivalrous man. Now that Gu Liancheng has been expelled from the Beggars' Sect, why are you still working for him?"

Elder Yang fell silent instantly!

"If you don't say it, I can say it for you." Liu Qi slowly stood up, looked ahead, and said softly with his back to the old man, "Because you were greedy and lustful, you were almost crippled by Xiu Shaoyang and expelled from the Beggars' Sect. It was Gu Liancheng who protected you and helped you reach the eighth bag. Now you have retired from the martial arts world with your merits fulfilled, and your beautiful wife and concubines are so happy..."

Sweat stains gradually appeared on the old man's face...

"Of course, this is not a problem." Liu Qi suddenly changed the subject, "Since ancient times, winners have been kings and losers have been bandits. Don't talk about these details. Even if you are an unforgivable criminal, as long as you reach the top, you can still be famous for thousands of years and admired by everyone!"

Liu Qi turned around and stared at the old man calmly: "Now do you know why you ended up like this?"

Elder Yang raised his head tremblingly, just in time to meet Liu Qi's cold eyes.

He felt a chill instantly surge through his body, and he couldn't help but tremble!
"It's not for anything else, it's because you chose the wrong master!"

Blah blah blah!

Suddenly, a strong wind blew and huge waves appeared on the lake.

A figure came walking on the waves and finally stopped a hundred steps away from the bow.

"Since Miss Liu is visiting the Beggars' Sect, why didn't you inform me so that I could prepare well and avoid neglecting her?"

Hearing the voice coming from afar, Elder Yang, whose face was as pale as death, instantly widened his eyes. He gritted his teeth, raised his head high, and shouted hysterically:
"Master Xiu, save...save...me!"

Xiu Shaoyang, who was hanging on the crest of the waves, had his clothes fluttering in the wind. When he heard Elder Yang's voice, his face darkened at first, and after a moment he asked slowly:
"But Yang Xi has already retired from society?"

"it's him!"

The one who answered Xiu Shaoyang was a strong and resonant female voice, and a strong wind was whistling in front of him.

Xiu Shaoyang immediately raised his hand to block it, and then he seemed to receive something in his hand.

He looked closely and saw that it was a human head.

He flipped his hand and turned the head towards himself. He saw that the old man's eyes were wide open and his face was distorted. Xiu Shaoyang recognized at a glance that it was Yang Xi, who was from the same chivalrous lineage as himself.

Yang Xi is considered a senior in practicing Shaoyang.

However, this person had bad conduct, so Xiu Shaoyang drove him out of the Xiake Building after he took over as the leader of the chivalrous lineage.

Later, he seemed to have restrained himself a lot under Gu Liancheng's command, and he remained safe and sound until he retired from the martial arts world...

Xiu Shaoyang's eyes moved slightly, and he casually threw the head into the lake. Then he slowly raised his eyes and saw a familiar figure standing with his hands behind his back on the bow of the boat.

Liu Qi was also looking disdainfully at Xiu Shaoyang on the waves in the distance. Seeing him looking at her, she immediately spoke and said softly:

"I'm not here as a guest."

"I'm here to kill someone."

"Hua Jingfeng, Cheng Yidong, kill these two and I'll leave."

"Or else, I will destroy your Junshan headquarters."

"You choose."
