The turbulent lake surface, the siege of two grandmasters... lasted for a long time.
Finally, even Guang Chanzi joined the battle.
It wasn't until the morning sun was knocked into the water, and the blood dyed dozens of meters of the water area red, that the battle came to an end.
"Go and salvage the body."
Splash ~
Guang Chanzi laboriously climbed onto the sampan, not caring about his soaked clothes, and lay directly on the deck, looking at the bright moon in the sky, revealing an almost mad smile.
"Jin Xiaotang, I've had enough of you in this life!"
"I was originally a genius, but your light is too dazzling. It covers me... It was like this when I was a child, and it is still like this when I grow up. Even if you made me a national teacher... So what? Every time the higher-ups in the Changsheng Sect look for me to report, they must mention how the Immortal Queen is... Everyone regards me as your shadow. I have endured it for hundreds of years..."
"Hehe, now, without you. Only then can I be a real chess player!"
Guang Chanzi muttered to himself, his eyes bloodshot.
Even if Chenxi agreed to Guang Chanzi's request to become Tianmu, Guang Chanzi would not let her go.
Today's invitation to reminisce about the past is just a reason to kill.
In the end, the reason why Guang Chanzi was able to succeed was because he used his elder sister's love for him.
He knew this very well.
All along, his elder sister had taken great care of him, and almost always granted his requests. From childhood to adulthood, she had even risked her life to protect him, this younger brother.
Without Chenxi, there would be no Guang Chanzi.
Thinking of this, Guang Chanzi suddenly shed tears, and his smile turned into sobs, "My elder sister, I know you are good to me... I am especially grateful to you. But, I really have no choice.
Every time you are good to me, I feel like you are giving alms. Only when you die is it truly good for me."
He slowly sat up, reached out to wipe away his tears, "In order to restore the great cause of the Changsheng Sect, I have endured for a hundred years, and I have planned for a hundred years. Now the time is coming to reap the fruits. I can no longer be anyone's shadow. I can only wrong you, elder sister.
But don't worry, I will burn money for you every year. I will also burn the Changsheng techniques of the underworld for you. After all, reaching the underworld is the real immortality."
"Hehe..."
Crying and crying, Guang Chanzi began to chuckle again.
Crying for a while, laughing for a while, changing back and forth... He was crazy and demented, making people afraid to look at him.
Just then—
Splash!
Two bald heads emerged from the water.
"Yes!"
The two bald heads immediately dived into the water and continued to search for the body.
And a trace of panic appeared on Guang Chanzi's face.
Others don't understand Jin Xiaotang, but Guang Chanzi knows it very well... Jin Xiaotang created the strange arts of refining corpses and refining souls. Although it cannot be said to be a means of immortality, it is a strange art of preserving life.
Without seeing Jin Xiaotang's body, Guang Chanzi felt uneasy.
"First poisoned with the Bloodthirsty Powder, then severely injured in the internal organs, and the breath is cut off. He should be dead... But I will only be at ease after seeing the body."
Thinking of this, Guang Chanzi stopped thinking about it, simply bandaged the wounds on his body, and then drove the sampan away from the water. As soon as he landed, a figure approached and respectfully bowed to the ground.
"Master."
If Xie An were here to see the appearance of this person bowing to the ground, he would probably be shocked. This person's appearance is exactly the same as Guang Chanzi's, even the scar on his face is the same.
Even martial arts grandmasters would find it difficult to distinguish the truth from the false.
The Heavenly Father, who is unparalleled in front of outsiders, is as humble as an ant in front of Guang Chanzi at this moment. Even when kowtowing on the ground, he couldn't help but tremble.
Guang Chanzi glanced at the trembling Heavenly Father on the ground and felt very satisfied, "What's the matter?"
The Heavenly Father took out a drawing and held it above his head with both hands, "Please take a look, Master."
Huh?
Guang Chanzi was greatly surprised after reading the drawing, "Where did it come from?"
Because Guang Chanzi didn't let the Heavenly Father get up, the Heavenly Father didn't dare to get up, so he had to kneel on the ground and tell the story in detail. However, he strengthened his role in the event.
Guang Chanzi glared at the Heavenly Father, "Well done. Get up."
The Heavenly Father breathed a sigh of relief and finally stood up, but still lowered his head and bent his waist, for fear of showing the slightest disrespect, "This little one has been a member of the Holy Sect for many years, and knows the two great treasures of the Holy Sect from the notes. Could it be that this is the Seven Treasures Exquisite Box, the treasure of the Holy Sect?"
Guang Chanzi glanced at the Heavenly Father, "It should be. Go and find out the details of Liu Mu, and find out where Liu Mu lives. Then take Chilian and Heishui to snatch this thing back."
The Heavenly Father agreed, "Yes. I will arrange it immediately."
After bidding farewell to Guang Chanzi, the Heavenly Father walked to a deserted place and immediately put away his respectful expression, with a resentful and dissatisfied look on his face.
"Hehe, such a good thing, I have it in my hands... How can I give it to you? At worst, I'll find a deserted place to seek immortality."
The Heavenly Father smiled very sinisterly and viciously.
Many years ago, he was just a simple villager outside Nanyang Prefecture. One day, a missionary entered the village and saw him. And gave him ten taels of silver to take him to practice martial arts.
Although the Heavenly Father wanted to practice martial arts, he was a filial son, so he refused the missionary's invitation. However, not long after, the missionary brought a group of martial artists in and slaughtered the entire village.
Even the Heavenly Father's old mother was slaughtered.
From then on, the Heavenly Father was arrested.
He was thrown into a dark prison, and suffered inhuman treatment all day long. He was asked to read and write, imitate someone's tone of voice, living habits, and so on.
The Heavenly Father was extremely afraid. After being whipped many times, he did not dare to refuse and followed the instructions to learn.
Later, the Heavenly Father learned that the person the missionary wanted him to imitate was actually Guang Chanzi, the national teacher of the previous dynasty... Later, he slowly became a martial artist and became Guang Chanzi's shadow.
He deliberately showed obedience, fear, and obedience to Guang Chanzi in front of others. But in his heart, he never forgot Guang Chanzi's hatred for killing his mother.
Later, he learned of Guang Chanzi's power.
He gave up the idea of revenge. He just wanted to take the opportunity to get some benefits and then escape.
Now, the appearance of this immortal treasure has allowed him to see the opportunity to make a big profit.
Returning to the awning boat on Hongze Lake, the Heavenly Father made arrangements, "Chilian, Heishui. Prepare to snatch this thing. Chilian, you go find Liu Mu's brother again recently and ask him to come here. Just say that the Heavenly Father wants to bestow him the method of immortality."
Chilian said: "Yes."
...
Qingwu County.
Town Demon Division, Southeast Courtyard.
Xie An had already changed back to his youthful appearance and body. He closed the door and sat in the courtyard drinking tea.
Going to the Town Demon Division for a stroll and showing his face every day has become Xie An's routine.
After Chen Tie, Zhao Qing'er, and the others were dismissed, they each lived in their homes in Qingwu County and no longer came here. Xie An came here, and he couldn't even find someone to talk to, which he was very unaccustomed to.
But with responsibility on his shoulders, Xie An had no choice but to come.
However, Xie An only came to show his face each time, and did not ask about the affairs of the Town Demon Division. Every time Zhou Xuan sent some documents and books to the Southeast Courtyard, Xie An signed all of them and then asked Liu Chun to hand them over to Zhou Xuan.
He acted as a hands-off shopkeeper.
This greatly relaxed the vigilance of Zhou Xuan, Zhu Kun, Liu Qian, and the others.
Gradually, the people up and down the Town Demon Division thought that Xie An, the chief commander, had been hollowed out, so not many people took Xie An seriously, and the gate was deserted a lot.
Fortunately, Xie An didn't care about the superficial face of a bustling gate, and such a leisurely life was not bad.
He only needs to help the eldest princess complete the capture of Guang Chanzi and Li Hao, and he will have the title of Duke and the official position of the second rank.
That's enough.
As for the official affairs, Xie An wished there were as few as possible.
In this way, he can have a lot of time to practice, study, and enjoy life.
Although Xie An knew that the documents Zhou Xuan handed over must have something bad, and there would be risks in signing and stamping, and he might have to bear the responsibility. But Xie An had already discussed it with the eldest princess, so it was okay.
Gulu!
Xie An took a sip of tea, leaned on the Drunken Weng chair, and showed a very leisurely expression. He stroked the smooth fur of the white fox with both hands, "Bai, do you think big brother can succeed in this matter?"
The white fox said very definitely: "That's for sure."
Xie An was stunned for a moment, "How do you say that?"
The white fox said: "If you don't succeed, how can I eat delicious food in the future?"
Xie An felt very speechless. He originally wanted the white fox to provide some emotional value to eliminate the slight tension in his body, but he didn't want to work in vain. This is just a foodie.
All he thinks about is eating.
Can't count on it...
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Xie An went to open the door and found that it was Ye Luo who came, "Master Ye, why are you here so late? Is there anything wrong?"
Ye Luo sighed softly: "Huang Silang woke up, but was taken away by Zhu Kun Cha Si. Then after a few moments... Huang Silang died. Alas, I didn't do a good job with the things Xie Zongsi told me to do."
Xie An was not surprised by this.
Since Chen Tie and the others left, the Town Demon Division has been dominated by Li Hao's faction. Even Xie An, the chief commander, has been hollowed out. It is not surprising that Zhu Kun and the others do anything.
It seems that Huang Silang knew some things about the demon, and if Zhao Qing'er took over, he might be able to ask something. As a result, he was silenced by Zhu Kun...
Thinking of this, Xie An comforted Ye Luo, "It's alright. Huang Silang deserved to die, it's good that he's dead."
"Thank you for your understanding, Grand Supervisor." Ye Luo thanked him, then said, "Alas, the Demon Suppression Division is truly filled with miasma now. Everyone is flattering each other, and everyone is speaking superficially. You can't hear a single sincere word. It's really boring. Deputy Grand Supervisor Zhou Xuan is very dissatisfied with me, I estimate that I won't be able to keep this job for long."
Xie An welcomed Ye Luo in for tea, and after some small talk, he learned the reason.
It turned out that Zhou Xuan needed the medicine room to expand the supply of Neijin Pills and so on, but Ye Luo strictly followed the rules, causing Zhou Xuan to lose face several times.
"Alas, the current Demon Suppression Division is so boring. Compared to when Grand Supervisor was in charge… it's like heaven and earth."
Xie An said, "I'm sorry for the trouble, Master Ye. I am also powerless to help."
Xie An was telling the truth.
In the past few months, many Demon Suppression Guards felt that Xie An's official career had come to an end, and they inevitably neglected Xie An a lot.
Only Liu Chun and Ye Luo and a few others still treated Xie An as before. This made Xie An feel a little comforted.
Ye Luo even turned around to comfort Xie An, "I know, compared to my difficulties, Grand Supervisor is the one who has it the hardest. You are the one who is truly suffering."
Xie An smiled simply, and they encouraged each other.
The newest novels are all first published on Liu 9 Shu Ba!
In fact, Xie An didn't feel wronged at all.
It's not himself who is about to reach the end, but Li Hao.
As for the reason… it's very simple.
Although the Prince of Huainan colluded with the former dynasty's Eternal Life Sect and the Four Old Demons, they could not possibly have a chance of winning, after all, the Princess is backed by the imperial court.
Throughout history, how many rebels have succeeded?
In the end, they all became cold corpses.
However, Xie An also had some doubts.
He himself knows this, wouldn't the Prince of Huainan know?
Why would he still do this?
Did he get cocky?
Xie An couldn't analyze it for the time being.
After a few simple words of encouragement, Ye Luo left in a hurry.
Not long after, Liu Chun came with Xiao Hu and A Bin, also with a lot of complaints. Xie An encouraged them, and then they left.
It was late at night when Xie An left the Demon Suppression Division.
He carried a jar of wine and came to Chen Tie's residence. Coincidentally, Zhao Qing'er and Wei Haoran were also here. Everyone was dejected and frustrated. Xie An drank with them, encouraged them a few words, and then returned to the Xie residence.
The Xie residence was no different from usual.
Because Xie An was low-key in the Demon Suppression Division and acted as a hands-off manager, the Xie residence was not targeted. After all, Xie An had just received an imperial edict from Emperor Jingtai and was awarded a nominal position of the fourth rank.
Li Hao would not make things difficult for Xie An at this juncture either.
The oil lamp in the east wing of the middle courtyard was still lit, and Master Huang was sitting inside using a mirror to heal his injuries.
Gaga.
The white fox called out twice to the east wing, but didn't get a response from Master Huang, so it listlessly lay on Xie An's shoulder, looking very disgusted with Master Huang.
Xie An couldn't help but laugh when he saw the white fox's expression.
It's good that Master Huang ignores the white fox like this.
It's best if the two of them have conflicts…
Thinking about it, Xie An felt that he was very insidious, and then stopped thinking about these things. He went straight back to the bedroom in the main room of the middle courtyard, closed the door, let the white fox stand guard, and prepared to practice his skills.
Xie An was very cautious about using the white fox.
When Xie An used the appearance of a young man in Qingwu County, he naturally swaggered around with the white fox.
But when he arrived in Heize County, Xie An used the appearance of a teenager and had the white fox hide at home. Occasionally, he would dye the white fox's fur a different color.
With a major event at hand, Xie An didn't want to make any mistakes.
Clearing the distracting thoughts in his mind, Xie An sat down cross-legged.
He began to circulate the Water Drop Neijin Method.
"The progress of the Bright Jade Skill is slow. With a major event approaching, I still need to raise my martial arts realm to the ninth level Martial Master as soon as possible."
"Last time, I took the Realm-Boosting Pill exchanged for a mid-level skill and forcibly raised my realm, which was suspected of forcing growth. This led to an unstable foundation. Now, to break through to the ninth level, I can't rush it. I need to consolidate my foundation properly and cultivate the Neijin into countless tiny water droplets before I can take the Ninth Level Neijin Pill."
Su Yuqing gave Xie An two Ninth Level Neijin Pills.
Xie An carried them with him.
But he couldn't take them rashly, otherwise, not only would the success rate be low, but it would also easily damage himself.
So, cultivating the Water Drop Neijin is extremely important.
After such a long period of hard training, he was close to this step. But he always felt that something was missing. Xie An had asked Su Yuqing about this issue many times, and Su Yuqing had also given a detailed explanation.
But in the end, Xie An still needed to rely on his own comprehension.
In fact, Xie An didn't like getting involved in Guang Chanzi's affairs so urgently. He just wanted to do things steadily and surely.
It's just that things happened too quickly, forcing Xie An to do it.
Whirr ~
As Xie An circulated the Water Drop Neijin Method, the Neijin in his body began to circulate frantically, making a subtle sound like flowing water.
Near dawn, the white fox suddenly窜ed in, "Big Brother, there's a situation."
Xie An was very unhappy about the white fox disturbing his cultivation. But he also knew that the white fox was not confused about important matters, and would not rashly disturb him unless there was a real situation.
After all, he had said that if it messed around, it would have nothing to eat.
With this tight rein in place, the white fox was still very obedient.
Xie An opened his eyes, "What's the situation?"
The white fox said, "There's a woman in the living room."
Woman?
Su Yuqing?
Impossible.
The white fox knows Su Yuqing and gets along well with her. When he's not around, Su Yuqing will take her to eat delicious food. It calls Su Yuqing sister.
Xie An immediately realized that the situation was not right, stopped his cultivation, and went to the living room.
He saw a young girl standing next to the oil lamp in the living room.
Her clothes were tattered, her whole body was covered with scars, many places were torn, blood was flowing, and there were even several knife wounds that were so deep that the bone was visible. However, this girl was standing straight, with an extraordinary aura.
When Xie An saw this person's face, he was surprised to find that this person was Chenxi.
The former dynasty's Immortal Queen, Jin Xiaotang.
Swish!
Xie An immediately activated the Bright Jade Skill to the limit, ready to call Master Huang in to help at any time.
Cough cough.
Chenxi coughed up two mouthfuls of blood and said to Xie An: "You don't need to be nervous. I'm here to discuss a deal with you."
Even injured like this, Chenxi still had an extraordinary demeanor.
She even dared to take the initiative to come to the door to talk about a deal.
As expected of the Immortal Queen.
Xie An asked vigilantly: "What deal?"
Chenxi said: "I was ambushed and seriously injured. I can't go far, and I don't know any acquaintances in Qingwu County or Heize County, so I thought of you."
Xie An opened his Qi sense and carefully sensed Chenxi's life aura.
She was indeed dying.
Her strength was all forced.
Xie An immediately developed murderous intent.
This Immortal Queen knew that he had taken her immortal treasure and coveted it. Living in the world was a major hidden danger. Taking the opportunity to kill her would solve all problems.
Thinking of this, Xie An secretly clenched the brush-tip needle in his sleeve.
However, Chenxi said: "It seems that you are thoughtful and know who I am. You want to kill me to silence me."
Xie An was shocked and pretended to be confused, "Coming rashly in the middle of the night and talking about cooperation. I am not familiar with you, so naturally I will not believe you."
Chenxi grinned and smiled, "Xie An, don't pretend. I came here last time to take away your immortal box. You think you are pretending very well, but I actually felt it."
Xie An squeezed the hand holding the brush-tip needle even harder. He gave the white fox a look, and the white fox was about to leave to call Master Huang.
Chenxi said: "No need to bother, when I came in, I felt a great demon in the east wing, with the strength of a fourth-rank grandmaster."
The white fox suddenly stopped and looked at Chenxi with trembling eyes.
Chenxi continued to cough up blood, "I can't stay conscious for long. I'll just say it directly. I am Jin Xiaotang, you saw me in the cold pool in the underground of the Corpse Refining Hall four years ago. The Seven Treasures Exquisite Box in your hand is mine. Only I know the source of this Seven Treasures Exquisite Box. Don't you want to know?"
Xie An's eyes became brighter and brighter, "You continue to speak."
Chenxi said: "I know that you aspire to longevity, and you are a person with immortal fate. After all, you can make the Seven Treasures Exquisite Box grow palm lines, which is something even I couldn't do. I went to the Five Elders Peak a while ago and had a deal with the Four Old Demons. I know a place where there may be a longevity technique."
After a pause, Chenxi stood with her hands behind her back, facing Xie An sideways, and said word by word: "This immortal box is destined for you, and I'm afraid it won't be of much use even if I take it back. Immortal fate is about fate, and you can't force it. I'll give you this immortal box. In addition, I can tell you the place where the longevity technique is located. I can also tell you about another supreme treasure of the Eternal Life Sect."
Xie An was stunned for a long time before adjusting his emotions, "You want me to protect you and help you heal your injuries?"
"As expected of a smart person." Chenxi slowly turned around, stared deeply at Xie An, "I was once the Immortal Queen of the Tianbao Dynasty, the phoenix ruling the world, and I was considered to have stepped onto the throne of the Nine-Five Supreme. But after so many things, I finally understand… power, wealth, status, and fame are just fleeting clouds, only the great path of longevity is worthy of my lifelong pursuit. If you are willing, help me. If you are not willing, you can take my life as you please… Poof!"
After saying that, Chenxi spat out a mouthful of blood, and then fell straight to the ground, unconscious.
