The clan house.
"you……"
Jiang Xinghe looked at Xu Chong who was slowly approaching, opened his mouth, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Xu Chong shook his head. "Although I really want to kill him, I don't want to owe you anything. Since I promised you, I will naturally do what I said."
Yes, he did not kill Emperor Yongtai.
Because he promised Jiang Xinghe to forgive Emperor Yongtai once.
But only once.
If Emperor Yongtai remained stubborn, he could kill him without any psychological burden and replace the emperor of Daqing.
Emperor Yongtai may have noticed this and wisely ignored Xu Chong's aggressiveness, which seemed like a humiliation.
However, although the problem could not be completely solved, Xu Chong was not worried about anything.
Not only was his incarnation sitting outside the curtain, but the entire Tianji Palace was surrounded by his phantom body created by splitting light and transforming shadows.
He could immediately detect any unusual movements by Emperor Yongtai in the back hall.
To describe it as foolproof is no exaggeration.
Jiang Xinghe was obviously relieved about this.
"Your wife and daughter..."
Xu Chong asked again, "Are you really planning to send them to the civilian population and let them live an ordinary life?"
"With your arrangement, I'm afraid that wealth and glory are inevitable, but I can't be considered a real ordinary person."
Jiang Xinghe smiled and said, "If the world must be destroyed, then it would be better for them to stay away from martial arts and power. But I will have to trouble you."
"It's just a small matter."
Xu Chong waved his hand.
Jiang Xinghe's arrangement for his wife and daughter was to first demote them to civilian status, and then let Xu Chong fill in the blanks that were obscured by their knowledge and views with normal memory and common sense.
This is a huge project, and no one else might be able to do it. Only Xu Chong can complete it easily.
From a pessimistic point of view, if the world is destined to be destroyed, then being an ordinary person is indeed the best way of life with absolute material foundation and security guarantees.
If the destruction had not occurred or had been prevented, it would have been equally easy to restore household registration and memory.
So Xu Chong didn't care too much. After nodding to Jiang Xinghe, he turned and walked into the wall on one side.
At the same time, Taiping Township, located on the vast ocean, welcomed an uninvited guest.
"Whoever is in charge, come out and see me immediately."
Xu Chong stood in the air, and his indifferent words echoed over the entire Taiping Township.
An angry look appeared on everyone's face.
Many members of the law enforcement team leaped into the air, trying to capture this unfriendly intruder.
It is a pity that no matter what realm one is in, whether it is the jumping of Tongmai Xishen or the flying of Huangting Zhongdao, one cannot leave the ground more than three feet.
Once it is higher than three meters, it will be as if facing the power of heaven and be forcibly pressed down by a huge force.
Xu Chong thought that this method was enough to make irrelevant people see the truth and stay honest.
But he was wrong.
After many unsuccessful attempts, more than one person chose to undergo corpse transformation.
"Burn yourself!"
"Reverse pulse!"
"Destroy the acupoints..."
Roars came one after another.
Xu Chong was a little stunned.
It was his first time in Taiping Township and also his first time in conflict with the people of Taiping Township.
To be honest, with his strength, he doesn't need to analyze these people's possible reactions.
But even if he had analyzed it, it would definitely not include the current scene.
This scene...
Xu Chong thought of Yongzhou, Fenggu County, and the voices of "What is Martial Arts" that echoed from afar.
So this is Taiping Township?
No wonder Lin Kuang’s hatred for Emperor Yongtai was only partially due to his own imprisonment.
What's more, the slogan "There is peace and justice in the world, and no suffering" was used by Emperor Yongtai as a tool for massacre.
"Whatever."
Xu Chong sighed to himself.
Just as he was about to remove the suppression, a figure rose into the sky from the center of the island and rushed towards him rapidly.
"Who are you, thief, to disturb my peace?!"
Manic rage, fierce murderous intent, and tremendous power.
pity.
Facing Xu Chong, all of this seemed so pale.
Just as the man approached Xu Chong within ten feet, he was grabbed by a huge white cloud hand that suddenly appeared, and he had no ability to resist.
"That's... Mr. Keiichi!!!"
The people on the island exclaimed.
"Damn it! Let go of Master Keiichi!"
"You will die a miserable death!!"
“…”
Xu Chong saw it clearly that even some ordinary people who had no cultivation at all showed the spirit of solidarity against the enemy at this moment.
As for the remaining ones who had cultivated themselves and had already experienced corpse transformation, they began to charge fearlessly in an attempt to break through the three-meter limit.
Those who had never experienced corpse transformation began to experience it.
“It’s really puzzling.”
Xu Chong shook his head and shouted softly: "Sleepy!"
The clouds suddenly fell, breaking into countless tiny clouds that accurately penetrated into the body of everyone in his field of vision.
With just one move, everyone's movements and strength were restricted.
As long as you don’t reach the Dharma Realm, you cannot break through this limitation. You can only watch and not even speak.
After making sure that no one was rioting again, Xu Chong looked at the person he had caught.
Then he frowned.
In his perception, the opponent's Huangting Dao Seed was in a state of constant collapse.
"No wonder you can break through my blockade."
Xu Chong narrowed his eyes, "Are you so fearless of death?"
"I am the Taoist master's personal guard. I swear to defend the Taoist master and Taiping Township until my death!"
Qing Yi stared at Xu Chong with his scarlet eyes, without the slightest fear even though his life and death depended on him.
"I know a lot of people who are not afraid of death, so I know how to deal with someone who is not afraid of death."
Xu Chong said, glancing at the island below, "I ask, you answer, or you die... everyone dies. "
This sentence is of course a lie to the other party.
If the people on this island were not evil, he would not have gone on a killing spree.
But the other party doesn't know.
"...You ask."
Qingyi said with hatred, biting his teeth until they bled.
"Where is Li Xiangxue?"
Xu Chong asked.
"Li Xiangxue..."
Qing Yi's expression changed.
There is panic, reluctance and anger.
Xu Chong's eyes darkened: "Speak! "
"He's dead."
Qingyi answered, his expression no longer strange, and he even laughed, "This traitor attacked the Taoist master and was executed by me personally."
There is no doubt that Qingyi is the only one in Taiping Township who knows whether Li Xiangxue is dead or not.
But he chose to lie.
In other words, he had to lie.
In his opinion, this ridiculously powerful young man in front of him must have been sent by Emperor Yongtai to take revenge on Li Xiangxue.
If he wanted to stop this incident because he was unable to defeat the enemy physically, he certainly couldn't tell others that Li Xiangxue was out on a mission.
So he could only say that Li Xiangxue was dead, and died in his hands.
This is how the world is. A small misunderstanding often leads to a bigger misunderstanding.
Hearing this, Xu Chong's body stiffened: "Dead?"
The other party's facial expression change before made him instinctively feel that there was some hidden secret in this matter, and he thought that Li Xiangxue might not be dead.
But the other party's answer matched what Emperor Yongtai said.
It seems that Li Xiangxue is really dead.
"call."
Xu Chong exhaled slowly and looked at the island below: "Originally, everyone was going to die."
"But fortunately, their actions made me give up the idea of ​​killing them."
"If you hadn't killed Li Xiangxue, you wouldn't have died."
"pity……"
As he spoke, Xu Chong's eyes flashed with fierceness, and he was ready to kill.
However, at this moment, an anxious voice came from afar.
"stop!"
Along with the sound was a figure as fast as lightning.
The Taoist priest wore a robe, a straw crown on his head, and his face was covered by white light.
Suddenly, Xu Chong's eyes became even more fierce: "Ji Qingzhi? You are not dead?!"
The wind is rising and the clouds are moving.
Two huge hands spanning the sky suddenly took shape and slammed towards the center fiercely.
Ji Qingzhi is Emperor Yongtai, and their memories are interconnected.
If Ji Qingzhi is not dead, then Emperor Yongtai lied and must have some special plan.
So even though Xu Chong didn't think the other party would be his opponent, he still chose to strike first in an instant.
No matter whether he is Ji Qingzhi or what his plan is, beat him up first and then interrogate him.
This is Xu Chong's caution.
However, just as the two big hands were about to close, the person who came seemed to have noticed something, and quickly dispersed the white light that covered his facial features, revealing the face of a middle-aged man, while shouting loudly.
"Uncle Xu, it's me!"
Two big hands braked the car by a hair's breadth, freezing it in mid-air.
Xu Chong looked at the other person's face and couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.
If the person coming is not Li Xiangxue, who else could it be?
"Uncle Xu..."
Li Xiangxue glanced at the big hand that was less than half a foot away from him and couldn't help swallowing.
He had never been afraid of death, but if he died at the hands of Uncle Xu...
This is a big joke.
"What's going on?"
Xu Chong looked at Li Xiangxue, and then at Qingyi who was still captured by the big hand.
"It's a long story."
Li Xiangxue approached and saluted Xu Chong, "Uncle Xu, please let these people go. We will talk about this when we get back."
After saying this, the white light that concealed his face reappeared.
Xu Chong frowned and waved his hand to disperse the power.
Soon, the three of them flew to Taiping Palace together, leaving the Taiping people all over the island confused.
Because they were quite far away, they could not see Li Xiangxue's face clearly.
In their eyes, Xu Chong, the uninvited guest who caused many injuries, suddenly became the Taoist master's uncle for unknown reasons.
uncle?
Is love here to visit relatives?
After they thought they understood what had happened, everyone became depressed.
You just come to visit relatives, why do you act like you want to destroy Taiping Township?
With so many people who have activated corpse transformation, even if they are saved in time, at most they can save their lives, and there is no way they can break through again.
There is simply no place to reason...
Just like that, the people in Taiping Township became extremely depressed and dispersed.
Those who have not yet achieved corpse transformation should work and practice as needed. Those who have achieved corpse transformation can only swallow their anger, find a place to recuperate, and do their best to recover.
The other side.
In the main hall of Taiping Palace, Li Xiangxue explained everything.
"So, in order to protect the stability of Taiping Township, he chose to conceal Ji Qingzhi's death and let you pretend to be his replacement?"
Xu Chong glanced at Qingyi next to him.
It is rare for a demon minister who has been controlled to the deepest degree by the Dao Heart Demon Seed to still retain such thoughts.
Xu Chong thought for a moment, then waved his hand to eject some spiritual energy, "I can't reverse the collapse of the Dao Seed, I can only help you stabilize your injuries, and from now on, you will live as a body-cleansing realm."
"That's enough."
Qingyi smiled, his expression showing neither depression nor regret.
Instead, there is only desire and anticipation.
"You are so powerful that even the entire Taiping Township combined cannot defeat you. I wonder..."
Qingyi hesitated a little, but after thinking about it, he said, "Would you like to stay in Taiping Township?"
"Are you afraid that Emperor Yongtai will come back to cause trouble for you ?"
Xu Chong asked, then raised the corner of his mouth and shook his head, "Don't worry, it won't happen again."
"Well?"
Qingyi was stunned.
Xu Chong was right. What he was most worried about was Emperor Yongtai.
After all, as long as Li Xiangxue's disguise is not exposed, the six major families will not do anything to Taiping Township.
The only person who needs to be wary of is Emperor Yongtai, who has lost his clone and knows clearly that Ji Qingzhi is dead.
What do you mean you can't do it?
Could it be that the dignified Lord of Daqing could swallow the humiliation of seeing his clone being killed?
"Emperor Yongtai has been trapped by me and cannot set foot in the outside world."
Xu Chong said lightly.
Trapping Emperor Yongtai?
Qingyi had a face full of question marks.
It wasn't a shock, because he couldn't digest this sentence at all.
In comparison, Li Xiangxue was only stunned for a moment, then he chose to believe it and became genuinely happy.
He is worthy of being Uncle Xu, and worthy of being the greatest hero in my father's words.
"As long as you want, you can return to Daqing and live any life you want."
Xu Chong continued.
As soon as these words were spoken, Qing Yi's face changed immediately. He no longer cared about anything else and looked at Li Xiangxue with nervous eyes.
He may not care about Ji Qingzhi's death, he may not care about his own Dao seed, but he cannot ignore Taiping Township.
If Li Xiangxue left and no one else could be found to impersonate the Taoist master, the Lin and Zheng families would soon flood into Taiping Township.
By then, will Taiping Township still be as peaceful as it is now?
It would be more appropriate to change the name to Chaos Township.
This was something Qingyi simply could not accept.
But he knew that he had no qualifications and no reason to ask Li Xiangxue to stay.
Others may not know what Li Xiangxue experienced in Taiping Township, but Qingyi knows it clearly.
Either fight with the prisoners, or practice hard.
There is not a single day in normal life.
In the end, it was even discovered that even the Taoist master's training had ulterior motives.
Under such circumstances, how could Li Xiangxue have any sense of belonging or identification with Taiping Township?
Thinking of this, Qingyi lowered his head with a dim look in his eyes.
However, Li Xiangxue smiled and said, "I want to stay here."
Swish.
Qingyi looked up suddenly, his face full of disbelief.
"Uncle Xu, Xiang Xue is already satisfied to know that you are still alive."
Li Xiangxue didn't care about Qingyi's reaction and said to himself, "As for returning to Daqing... Emperor Yongtai's problem has been solved by you. It doesn't matter whether I go back or not."
“It is true.”
Xu Chong had expected this and nodded calmly.
For Li Xiangxue, he is the only relative left in the whole world.
In comparison, Taiping Township does not have to fight openly or secretly, and does not have to be cautious and on guard at all times. It is definitely more comfortable than Daqing.
And as it stands now, these people in Taiping Township are also worthy of Li Xiangxue's retention.
"In that case."
Xu Chong turned to look at Qing Yi and asked, "If you have any hidden dangers, I will solve them for you all."
"Hidden danger?"
Qingyi's eyes lit up, "Yes, there are other guards besides me. I don't know if they are more loyal to Taiping Dao or Ji Qingzhi."
"Can."
Xu Chong nodded. "When I leave, I will take them back to Daqing. Anything else?"
"this……"
Qingyi thought for a moment, glanced at Li Xiangxue, and said boldly: "If Xiangxue continues to pretend, there will be no problem for the time being. The Lin family and the Zheng family will not mess around. But if you want to be the Taoist master openly..."
"Ancient tribe?"
Xu Chong pondered for a moment and said, "There should be branches of these two families on the island, right?"
"Not openly, but secretly the six major families all have spies."
Keiichi answered, already starting to get excited.
"Then this matter will be easy to handle."
Xu Chong stood up and walked out: "After all, we are an ancient clan that has been passed down for nearly ten thousand years. We should know very well what it means to be a hero who knows the current situation."
