When Shi Liuxia called Liu Lisha into a room, he did not ask her about her experience in the ghost market first, but muttered to herself rather emotionally.
Liu Lisha turned a deaf ear to this. She walked to a round table, picked up the cup filled with white water, closed her eyes slightly and drank slowly, as if tasting a glass of richly aromatic wine.
After Shi Liuxia said this, he didn't want to get a response from Liu Lisha. He just looked out the window in a daze. The room seemed unusually quiet for a moment.
"What are you thinking about?" After finishing the glass of water, Liu Lisha raised her head and asked.
"I was thinking about how high-spirited Ying Tianhong was when he told his plan before." Shi Liuxia sighed.
That was nearly a month ago, when the Netherworld Cult had not yet perished, and Ying Tianhong came to the Ten Thousand Poison Palace in person to express his ideals and ambitions passionately.
In his words, the Wangyou Ghost Market is already within his grasp. As long as the date for the Qianlong List battle is set, everything will come to an end in his calculations.
But what about the result?
Ying Tianhong did not wait for that day to come. Even within a short period of one month, one of the two allies he had roped in had been destroyed, and the other was not far away from being destroyed.
And he, the confident and powerful mastermind behind the scenes, was buried early in this small and dark underground.
"So, fate is really amazing."
The inexplicable Shiliu Xie made this sigh, and at the same time, there was a hint of sadness in his tone.
However, after all, it was he who first proposed to kill the great elder and the reinforcements that came from the Knife Forging Hall, so when Liu Lisha heard his sigh, her expression became a little weird.
"What are you worried about?"
Shi Liuxia shook his head and said:
"No matter how worried I am about my current situation, it is already like this. To be more precise, I am beginning to feel strange to this world. This strangeness inevitably makes people..."
When the topic came to this point, Shi Liuxia was not ready to continue the conversation. His expression gradually became serious, and he looked at Liu Lisha and said:
"It's time to talk about your situation."
Liu Lisha nodded. She vaguely felt that her father was beginning to feel uneasy about the situation being out of control.
Shi Liuxia was once a small group of people who controlled the direction of the rivers and lakes, but now he has become a drop of water integrated into the rivers and lakes, and can only drift with the flow unwillingly.
This was the reason why he had some sympathy for Tianhong's death.
Perhaps when he proposed to lay a dead end, he hoped to see the master of the Knife Forging Hall find a way out, so that it could also bring some confidence to him who was about to face a crusade by the state army.
But the result...
No accident, no surprise, he still died.
Liu Lisa did not continue to explore how complicated her father's mood was at this moment. She began to calmly talk about her experience in the ghost market.
But when the words "Ye Di" are mentioned, his voice still trembles uncontrollably.
"...You made the right choice."
After listening to what Liu Lisha said, Shi Liuxia sighed deeply. Originally, he still complained that his good daughter had teamed up with outsiders to trick his old father.
But after knowing her experience, he knew that Liu Lisha had no choice at all.
The Emperor of the Night, who was responsible for the killing, was obviously preparing a more sinister plan. If Liu Lisha did not surrender to Qin Fan early, the result would probably be that both their father and daughter would be tricked to death.
At this moment, Shiliuxie felt that familiar feeling of powerlessness welling up in her heart again.
When did he, the dignified master of the Ten Thousand Poisons Palace, become a chess piece for anyone to manipulate?
"You made the right choice."
He repeated what he just said again, but his tone was much firmer.
Liu Lisha's expression also returned to its original calmness:
"Actually, I thought that joining the ghost market would be a good thing for me. It can help me stabilize my position as shopkeeper, and even go one step further, but..."
Liu Lisha looked at her father with deep regret. She could go to Wangyou Ghost Market without any pressure, and she didn't even mind becoming Qin Fan's subordinate.
But Shiliu Xie could not complete the change in mentality so easily. After all, the opponent was the master of the Palace of Ten Thousand Poisons, and during the period when evil was at its peak, he was a giant lord who responded to every call.
At this time, because of his relationship, he had to bow his head to a younger young man, and it was difficult to get over the psychological hurdle.
But this was the only choice to survive, and she didn't regret it, but the deep guilt wouldn't just disappear.
"You don't have to think too much, Huang Tiangui was more famous than me before, isn't he the same way?
Moreover, since Yu Cangmiao broke everyone's perception that age equals talent, even if this matter spreads, there will be no shame.
Besides, I should have a new identity in the future, and the former Master of Ten Thousand Poisons Palace, Shi Liuxie, happened to be buried in this period of history."
Shiliuxie's tone was very calm, and there was even an inexplicable sense of relaxation in his voice.
Liu Lisa couldn't figure it out, and Shi Liuxia didn't explain much. The two of them didn't discuss how to deal with Ye Di's problem. After all, it was still a matter of time whether the next level could be passed.
In the blink of an eye it was already the next day.
Outside the Ten Thousand Poison Palace, after the poisonous mist was released, the noisy warriors became more honest.
They huddled obediently out of reach of the mist, and then waited quietly for the arrival of Mu Che and his army.
And everything was calm inside the Wandu Palace.
Because the Tiansuo Three Talents Formation sealed off all fighting auras, the disciples of Ten Thousand Poison Palace did not know that their beloved great elder had passed away.
By the way, he also brought along the hall master and second elder of the Knife Forging Hall.
After a night of practice, Qin Fan had completely absorbed Ying Tianhong's energy, blood and spiritual power. He had just sucked Jiang Zhiyun to death early this morning and continued to gain more insights.
In the room where he was, a ball of funny balls was holding a brush in its mouth and writing the first three moves of "The Eight Secrets of the Heavenly Sword" on a piece of white paper.
Qin Fan had already compiled the exercises and moves in Ying Tianhong's memory, and then [Wanxiang Emperor Tribulation], who was connected to his soul, was responsible for copying them.
Although the divine weapon possesses elementary consciousness, his mind is immature and he even looks worse than a five-year-old child.
But it is still possible to copy the gourd and draw the scoop.
In addition, the weapon is not as tough as a child, so it has grown into a qualified worker.
On the other side, Shui Niesheng, who had been recovering from his injuries all night, walked out of the room in high spirits, and met Mo Kaixin, who was wandering around boredly.
"Brother Shui, have you recovered?"
Mo Kaixin looked a little surprised. Although Shui Niesheng's injury was not as severe as Feng Mo's, according to his estimate, even with the help of pills, it would take at least three days.
Shui Nisheng nodded. In the process of studying the "Marriage Clothes Magic Art", he understood the true meaning of the martial arts - Wedding Clothes Nirvana.
What it emphasizes is breaking and building again. As long as you are not killed in a battle, you can quickly recover after the war with the help of the wedding dress's energy. Even the more serious the injury, the more your strength will improve after recovery.
He had just realized his own situation, and the effect was roughly equivalent to three months of hard work.
It's just a pity that this kind of martial arts true meaning cannot be used continuously. He needs a period of time to settle before he can find someone to cripple him again.
Seeing Mo Kaixin at this time, he felt a slight itch in his bones and really wanted to be beaten by him.
Sensing that Shui Niesheng's eyes were a little stunned, Mo Kaixin quickly waved his hand in front of his eyes and said:
"Brother Shui, there shouldn't be any hidden dangers with you, right?"
Although the other party did not explain it, Mo Kaixin also guessed that it might be the effect of some kind of martial arts true meaning. The true meaning of martial arts is called the seed of rules. Some are so weak that they explode, and some are incredibly strong.
But this unconventional true meaning of martial arts is difficult to control.
Just like some murderers, their nature is not bloodthirsty and cruel, but only because of the influence of a certain martial arts true meaning, they have entered this path of no return.
At this moment, Shui Nirvana also came to his senses. This was the first time he truly experienced the negative effects of [Wedding Clothes Nirvana], so he quickly suppressed his impulsive desire to be beaten.
In order to divert attention, he immediately asked:
"Senior, how is the situation of 'Feng'?"
"Not bad, but it will definitely take him longer than you to recover."
Mo Kaixin and Huang Tiangui have already assigned responsibilities. The former is guarding his disabled people, while the latter is keeping an eye on Shiliuxie.
By the way, the two of them also used their mental power to sweep through the entire Ten Thousand Poison Palace.
Nowadays, in addition to Shiliuxie, the great master-level masters of Ten Thousand Poison Palace also have the second elder and the third elder. Their foreign aid has not arrived yet.
This also caused the two elders to be extremely low-key and stay in their own residences every day.
There are currently twenty-three Xiantian realm masters in Ten Thousand Poison Palace, and one hundred and nineteen Tongmai realm masters. The two of them did not count the remaining Qi Condensation realm and Body Tempering realm masters carefully.
But the total number of people in the Ten Thousand Poison Palace is less than a thousand.
With its comprehensive strength, it is not too difficult to fight against the anti-drug alliance that has gathered tens of thousands of people outside. However, the key state army has not yet appeared, so now it can only use the terrain to temporarily stabilize the situation.
Anyway, Mo Kaixin's mentality was to come and have fun. After killing Ying Tianhong, the ghost market was no longer at a loss this time. The most important thing left was to find out which side the two elders were behind the scenes.
And what step they want to take.
When the time comes, I can help if I can. If the time is right, it would be even more of an unexpected surprise to trick him and kill him together.
At this moment, Mo Kaixin and Shui Niesheng were chatting wordlessly, and the two of them involuntarily brought the topic to the Dream-Smashing Knife.
"The grade of that knife is Huang grade, Lao Qin said it himself."
Mo Kaixin looked a little excited.
"But its power seems a bit weak."
During the previous battle, Shui Niesheng also used some mental energy to observe Jiang Zhiyun. Although the opponent was very brave in one against two, it was not enough to match the power of the desolate level magic weapon.
Mo Kaixin touched his chin and analyzed:
"Perhaps recognizing the master is only the first step. After that, you need to practice the Dream Broken Sword Technique to perfection, but this process may be rough, and it is not difficult to explain the strange behavior of each Dream Broken Sword Master."
Shui Nisheng fell into deep thought. He had accidentally seen information about the Dream-Smashing Knife in the Heavenly Sword Sect before.
Every sword master who practices the Dream-Shattering Sword Technique needs to be greened. It stands to reason that if this happens once, that's enough. After that, the worst case scenario is that he will just be alone. Isn't it good to just pursue martial arts?
But every Dream-Breaking Sword owner is very stubborn. They will fall into an endless cycle of constantly looking for a partner, then being cheated, then killing their wife to prove it, and then continuing to find a partner, and then being cheated again.
Even this partner cannot be found casually, it must be true love.
So when Qin Fan got the Dream-Smashing Knife, he thought about training a master, but he gave up in an instant.
Because if you follow this path, even a normal person with extremely upright views will be tortured into a psychopath.
"Perhaps only if you don't get cheated can you cultivate the dream breaking sword technique to perfection." Shui Niesheng guessed.
"Perhaps every time he is greened, the master of the Dream Broken Sword will become stronger." As a forger and mechanism master, Mo Kaixin was very interested in this.
If he could figure out the origin of the dream-shattering sword's curse, he might be able to perfectly replicate its characteristics and invent a great artifact!
Looking at Mo Kaixin, whose expression became increasingly fanatical, Shui Niesheng silently took a few steps back.
Then he saw Mo Kaixin's serious expression, which made Shui Nisheng feel a chill in his crotch. He asked cautiously:
"Senior...what's wrong?"
"somebody is coming."
"ah?"
"To be more precise, an outsider entered the Palace of Ten Thousand Poisons, and..."
Mo Kaixin suddenly withdrew the mental energy he had released, and saw Huang Tiangui and Shiliu Xie, who had been in the hut, holding wine glasses to each other, walking out together.
The expressions of the two of them became more solemn, and each of them spoke in one sentence.
"A strong man of the same realm."
"Using Wangyou Ghost City's new classification of realms, it should be the pseudo-celestial phenomenon realm, right?"
"Well, I leave it to you, Lao Shi. You are the master of the Ten Thousand Poison Palace, so it doesn't matter if you are exposed."
Shiliuxie nodded, and then his spiritual power completely enveloped the group of people entering the underground passage.
This group of people all wore the same style of large black robes, and the bamboo hats on their heads could shield against the erosion of mental power to a certain extent.
At this moment, one of them suddenly stopped, and a powerful mental pressure burst out from his body, blocking Shiliuxie's mental prying eyes from the front.
The moment the two people's mental powers clashed, a collision of thunder and fire formed. The entire Ten Thousand Poison Palace began to tremble at this moment, but it only lasted for three seconds and then stabilized.
Shi Liuxie withdrew his mental power with a gloomy expression. The last thing he saw was his third elder taking the initiative to greet the group of people.
At the same time, the master who was fighting against him glanced at his direction in a pretense of provocation.
"The other party's group of seven people are foreign aid invited by the third elder. They are in the pseudo-celestial realm. The others haven't had time to find out yet."
"Seven people..." Huang Tiangui frowned slightly, because this number was too sensitive and it was difficult for him not to think of his enemies.
But as soon as this conjecture appeared in his mind, he immediately dismissed it. After all, it was impossible for the other party to come out in such a reckless manner.
"He noticed my temptation, so he should come and give me an explanation."
Shi Liuxie said in a deep voice, but just thinking of the provocative look in his eyes just now, his face turned cold again.
