Chapter 204 The Desperate Li Family (1/2)

"have no idea!"

Jiang Ziling gritted her teeth and spit out blood.

Snapped--

Another whip was passed.

"ah...."

Jiang Ziling almost fainted from the pain.

This whip is not an ordinary leather whip, which has little effect on martial arts masters, but a whip made of fine steel with sharp barbs on it.

When the whip came down, the master, who had been hungry for several days, was unable to use his energy to resist, and his skin and flesh were torn apart!

The man with the gutter nose yelled: "Speak quickly!"

Jiang Ziling said weakly: "Even if you kill me, I won't say..."

If it weren't for Li Xiao, Red Lion Sword Village would have been destroyed long ago.

If it weren't for Li Xiao, she would have been killed by the demon in Shiwanda Mountain.

Now, it's just a matter of returning this life to the other party...

The gutter-nosed man is now the commander of the Jinyi Guards, nicknamed the Living King of Hell. If he falls into his hands, life would be worse than death.

The Living King of Hell is a member of the Xiao family, and he was originally a master. Since the Xiao family climbed the big tree of the Mahayana Dragon Court, he acquired Mahayana martial arts and embarked on a cultivation level above that of a master.

He was the one responsible for annihilating the Red Lion Sword Manor.

When the Red Lion Sword Manor was being annihilated, Jiang Ziling originally wanted to commit suicide, but was captured alive by him.

The corners of the Living Hell's lips curled up and he said with a smile: "I won't kill you, little beauty... I will take good care of you..."

After that, he took out a dark poisonous snake from the cloth bag and placed it on Jiang Ziling's chest. The poisonous snake twisted its body and got into the clothes...

"ah--"

Jiang Ziling was so frightened that her face turned pale. How could a woman endure such a thing?

The feeling was like a cold yet subtle touch sliding across the surface of the skin. That kind of coldness was not an ordinary chill, but a deep and disturbing chill, as if there were countless bugs crawling on the skin, but with a deep fear.

"The Xiao family must perish..."

Jiang Ziling stared at the Living King of Hell and shouted hysterically: "If that man comes back, he will kill you, he will kill you..."

"hehe."

The Living King of Hell sneered twice: "No matter who it is, the only way to go against the Xiao family is to die!"

After that, he turned around and left.

In the gloomy cell, only the girl's screams were left.

However, such screams are not unusual in a place like Tianlao...

........

Dajing Palace, Tianlong Hall martial arts training ground.

The original Tianwu Hall was the emperor's bedroom. The empress thought it was unlucky, so she demolished it and rebuilt a more splendid palace as her bedroom, named Tianlong Hall.

At this time, the former Empress Xiao, now the empress, was practicing in the main hall.

"The Divine Art of Transforming Dragons" is the secret book of the Mahayana Dragon Court's supreme treasure.

Following the devil Zhu Chixin, his cultivation in the Mahayana Dragon Court has been rising steadily.

Mother is more valuable than her son.

Empress Xiao also obtained better martial arts skills.

This dragon-transforming magical skill has been practiced to the extreme. The whole body is entangled with golden dragons, and the gang energy is transformed into a divine dragon. It is so fierce that it can split mountains and rivers, and dominate the nine states!

"The fifth level of the magical power of transforming dragons, the dragon breaks the sky!"

Empress Xiao struck with her palm, and a golden dragon emerged from her palm and headed towards a boulder in the distance. With a bang, the boulder exploded into powder.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, you have reached the Zhixuan realm!"

At this time, the Living King of Hell appeared from the darkness, cupped his hands and said.

That's right, Empress Xiao, who was originally only at the seventh level of martial arts, relied on the Mahayana Kung Fu and the secret medicine provided by the Mahayana Dragon Court, and her cultivation level skyrocketed in a short period of time!

He jumped into the realm above the master.

Of course, ordinary people can never be so fast.

It was only because of Zhu Chixin that she took the secret medicine Shenlong Dan, which took hundreds of years to be refined by the Mahayana Dragon Court, and changed her own qualifications, so she could progress so quickly!

"Um."

Empress Xiao nodded slightly and said, "How is the investigation of the Red Lion Sword Manor going?"

The Living King of Hell said: "Go back to your Majesty, Jiang Ziling won't let go."

Empress Xiao is now the emperor, and her behavior is full of arrogance. Even though this living king of hell used to have a higher status in the clan than her, now she can only bow her head and obey.

Even...the entire Xiao family has begun to be controlled by Queen Xiao.

"That's weird,"

Empress Xiao said strangely: "The Xiao family and the rising star Red Lion Sword Manor have no grudges in the past and today. She should have no reason to go against the Xiao family!"

"That's right, it shouldn't be for no reason, there is indeed someone behind it!"

The Living King of Hell analyzed: "Today, I pressed again and heard something new from Jiang Ziling... She said..."

Queen Xiao frowned: "What did you say?"

The Living King of Hell handed over his hand: "She said that when that man comes back, the Xiao family will perish..."

"Arrogant!"

Queen Xiao's voice was stern: "Who else in this world can shake my Xiao family? My son Chixin has reached the level of a land god. The martial arts myths of the past tried to challenge him, but they couldn't make a single move. His strength has surpassed that of the Mahayana Dragon Court." The sect leader is breaking through the secret realm of magical powers and is already invincible in the world!"

Living King of Hell: "Yes, yes...no one can shake our Xiao family now!"

He saw how powerful Zhu Chixin was.

The myth of martial arts is unknown. He became famous at a young age. He seeks defeat alone and is invincible in the world.

He secluded himself from the world twenty years ago, and came out not long ago to challenge Zhu Chixin.

Without Mahayana martial arts, his incredible strength reached the realm of land gods. Even the master of the Mahayana Dragon Court found it incredible.

But even so, facing Zhu Chixin, he couldn't take a single move.

It can be seen how powerful Zhu Chixin is!

In this world, there should be no one who can be his opponent!

And according to what Empress Xiao said, there is a higher realm in this world.

The secret realm of supernatural power!

Zhu Chixin is trying to break through this realm.

Once he breaks through, he can master the power of heaven and earth!

He doesn't eat the five grains of the world, eats wind and rain, and is immortal!

That is no longer a land immortal, but a real immortal!

Empress Xiao asked: "By the way, have you found that Zhu Tianwu?"

Zhu Tianwu is the Emperor Tianwu of the Dajing Dynasty.

Since his last escape, he has never been found.

Empress Xiao has always felt that this person is a hidden danger and wants to catch him and eliminate the roots!

After all, there is the Longquan treasure behind Zhu Tianwu, which should not be underestimated.

He may come back at any time!

"Your Majesty..."

The King of Hell said, "Zhu Tianwu has not been found yet, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth..."

"Waste!"

Empress Xiao cursed, "I want to see him alive or dead, I will find that bastard Zhu Tianwu even if I have to dig three feet into the ground!"

"Yes..."

The King of Hell bowed.

At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed in from outside.

"Report--"

Suddenly a eunuch rushed over: "Report, urgent report from the Ministry of War!"

Empress Xiao: "Speak!"

The eunuch trembled and said, "The imperial court's million-strong army to attack Beiliangzhou was defeated, and the four generals who led the army have been killed..."

"What!"

Empress Xiao's face changed: "A million-strong army was defeated?"

"Yes!"

The eunuch handed the battle report to Empress Xiao.

Empress Xiao unfolded it and saw that they had lost. It said that the battlefield was full of flying sand and rocks, and beacons were everywhere. The army was defeated and fled in all directions. There were 900,000 troops who fled.

"This is..."

Empress Xiao waved her hand and dismissed the eunuch.

She knew that this matter might be very unusual.

There were four generals above the Grandmaster level who led the army to attack Beiliangzhou, but they were defeated.

She thought of what an elder of Dacheng Longting said before.

Dacheng Longting is not a martial arts sect, but a hidden sect that cultivates Taoism.

It has existed for 30,000 years.

How many such sects still exist now, no one knows.

Now, they, Dacheng Longting, have emerged for the sake of Mozi and exposed their sight.

It is very likely to become the target of public criticism from other hidden sects.

Then the failure of the attack on Beiliangzhou this time may be due to the participation of other hidden sects!

"Could this be... Zhu Tianwu's doing??"

The Living King of Hell guessed so.

"It's possible!"

Empress Xiao thought for a moment and said, "That bastard has the Longquan treasure behind him. He can definitely cooperate with those hidden sects with the treasure. I'm afraid that Zhu Tianwu this time is very likely to be him."

The Living King of Hell said, "So, this Red Lion Sword Manor may also be a force that Zhu Tianwu secretly arranged among the people... When Jiang Ziling said that the man came back, wasn't he talking about Zhu Tianwu?"

Empress Xiao gritted her teeth and said, "It's very likely!"

After that, she gave an order: "Since it's Zhu Tianwu, then just do as he wishes. Tomorrow, take Jiang Ziling, the owner of the Red Lion Sword Manor, to the Meridian Gate and behead him in public... Lure Zhu Tianwu to appear!

By the way... there are still remnants of the Li family in the Tianlao.

Pull out all the Li family members and behead them together!

Doesn't that Zhu Tianwu favor Li Yunqing alone?

I will kill all her family members.

Let's see if Zhu Tianwu shows up, hehe..."

The Living King of Hell said: "Your Majesty, is it a bit risky? If there is really some power behind Zhu Tianwu..."

Empress Xiao smiled and said: "I will go to the Mahayana Dragon Court now, let my son come tomorrow, and with the masters of the Mahayana Dragon Court, no matter who he is, he will never come back!"

The Living King of Hell smiled slightly: "Yes, I will do it now!"

That's it.

The lives of Jiang Ziling and the Li family members.

Became the bargaining chip to lure the Tianwu Emperor Zhu Tianwu to appear.

Tomorrow, at the Meridian Gate, behead and show it to the public!

..........

..........

The Tianlao, where serious criminals are imprisoned.

There are a group of people here, imprisoned in the deepest part of the Tianlao.

The founding noble of the Dajing Dynasty, the Duke of Anguo, Li Tian.

Li Yunqing's father, Li Xiao's grandfather!

Once, he helped the Dajing Dynasty drive out the foreign races, conquer the country, and make great contributions!

He was thrown into the Tianlao seven years ago because of the frame-up of the party and government.

Li Cun, the general of the Xuanwu Army, who also made great contributions.

Li Yunqing's elder brother, Li Xiao's uncle.

Li Hong, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, the Marquis of Yongjia!

Li Yunqing's second brother, Li Xiao's second uncle.

Finally, there is the world-famous champion Marquis Li Qubing!

Li Yunqing's younger brother, Li Xiao's uncle.

He once went north to Mobei, trampled on the royal court, and beat the foreign races to never dare to invade Dajing again.

He is a master, but now his meridians are broken and he is trapped in the Tianlao, like a useless person.

Who would have thought that the young man who was once full of vigor and vitality has now become a sick cat.

In such a dark place as the Tianlao, living and waiting to die...

Crack, crack——

The deepest cell door of the Tianlao opened.

The rare light shone in, blinding everyone.

The jailer brought a sumptuous meal to the four people, including wine and meat.

On weekdays, they could only eat leftovers, which were rotten and smelly...

"This is..."

The champion Hou Li Qubing crawled over with difficulty, picked up a chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth. He still had hope of living and never gave up.

As for the other three, Li Tian, ​​Li Cun, and Li Hong have given up hope. They know that it will be difficult to leave this death row.

"Death meal."

Li Cun, the former Minister of Household Affairs, smiled bitterly and said: "Enjoy this last meal..."

After saying that, he crawled over from the ground and began to enjoy his last meal.

"Death meal..."

Li Qubing was stunned and immediately became very silent.

After all these years, he has always held on to hope.

I hope the Holy One can defeat the Xiao family and then liberate them.

He also hopes to dominate the battlefield, and he likes the feeling of galloping horses.

This is, all this is gone forever.

"I'm afraid the emperor has been replaced, right?"

An Guogong Li Tian said slowly, sitting cross-legged on the ground, holding up the wine bottle and drinking wine.

He hadn't had a drink in a long time, and he didn't know what year it was today. In this prison, he had no sense of time at all.

Even if the wine is very bad, it is like Qiongyao Jade Dew at this moment.

"Gong An Guo is really smart."

The jailer smiled and said: "Yes, this throne is no longer Emperor Tianwu, but someone else..."

"Is he still defeated... The forty-two chapters have not been collected..."

Li Tian was extremely emotional. As a result, the Li family was dead.

Six years ago, the Holy One was no longer able to control the situation, and many powers were emptied out.

The Li family was also defeated in the party struggle and imprisoned.

Li Tian, ​​the Duke of Anguo, wanted to bring the situation back to his Majesty.

He gave him thirty-two volumes of the forty-two chapters of the Sutra handed down from his family.

I hope that after overthrowing the Xiao family, the Li family can return to the court.

But as time went on, Li Tian had given up hope.

After all, the Forty-Two Chapter Sutra has a total of forty-two volumes, and you can get the treasure even if you only get thirty-two volumes.

"Wrong. Emperor Tianwu found all forty-two chapters of the Sutra and obtained the Longquan treasure."

The jailer said with a half-smile.

"What?"

Li Tian was shocked.

The jailer whispered: "Even if I get the Longquan treasure, I still can't defeat the Xiao family. Now, Queen Xiao is already the empress... You guys, just go down in peace. Maybe you will be able to meet Emperor Tianwu down there soon." See you.”

After listening.

The four members of the Li family became even more silent.

Emperor Tianwu, who got the Longquan treasure, actually lost...

The current emperor is actually Empress Xiao?

What happened outside during the days they were imprisoned.

"It's over, it's all over..."

Li Hong, the former Minister of Household Affairs, probably knew the current situation.

Emperor Tianwu failed completely.

What awaits the Li family is death.

There is no hope anymore.

"Yunqing, where's Yunqing!"

Li Tian looked at the jailer.

His Li family is outside and has a daughter!

"Li Yunqing?"

The jailer smiled and said: "He died a long time ago. He was killed by Empress Xiao together with his children. Well, I am telling you this because I think you are about to die. Don't think so much. Eat and drink enough. Tomorrow Good to go.”

After that, the cell door closed again.

The cell on the last floor was plunged into endless darkness.

"Why...."

Li Tian sighed deeply: "Ancestors, I, Li Tian, ​​am sorry for the Li family. The Li family will be ruined in my hands..."

"elder sister..."

When Li Qubing heard that his sister had been killed by Empress Xiao, and his children had also been killed, he was extremely angry: "If I can go out one day, I will crush Empress Xiao to ashes!"

But after saying this, he began to sob quietly.

He is not afraid of death, he just hates to die in such a painful way and not be able to take revenge.

Instead, he was manipulated by his enemy, which was extremely humiliating!

If he was given a chance to come back, he would never sit still and wait for death!

"I shouldn't have handed over military power in the first place!"

Li Qubing was extremely regretful and roared: "If the army was still in my hands at that time, why should I be so aggrieved, ah——"

For a long time, there was no response.

In the end, only Li Cun spoke: "Third brother, it's too late to regret. If you want to blame us, the only thing to blame is that our Li family is too benevolent and righteous. We will win or lose, so just accept your fate..."

Li Qubing leaned against the wall weakly, with a desperate look on his face: "Yes, I can only accept my fate... Now I am just a useless person, even if I go out, what can I do. I only hate that I didn't insist on my sister's refusal to marry. To Emperor Tianwu, eldest sister, it’s my brother who is sorry for you..."

The whole family sank into the abyss of despair.

The last glimmer of hope was gone.

After a long time, the cell returned to calm again.

Like death...
