Chapter 1805 Water Dragon's Chant 9
Jiang Xinxin, who suddenly appeared and was able to make the antidote for the Nine Hearts of the Ghost, became a major threat to the Paradise Pavilion and the Romantic Inn. However, as mentioned before, her martial arts and medical skills made people wary. In particular, Liu Yanbei, before Tang Lizhi died, did not want to provoke Jiang Xinxin directly, so he could only order his "cooperation partners" like Yu Qifeng to take action.
But who would have thought that Yu Qifeng, after weighing the options, would choose to continue targeting Tang Lizhi and ignore Jiang Xinxin.
Liu Yan felt that the time was almost up, so she risked showing up on the night of the most important banquet in Sword King City, Qiongtan, and bumped into Tang Lizhi.
Jiang Xinxin was watching the lanterns and fireworks in the crowd at that time. To be honest, the fireworks and iron-making fireworks in Sword King City were quite impressive. The lanterns were not monotonous either, with many large lanterns stacked on top of each other. Many streets also had lanterns and lanterns with unique features made according to the business of each shop, which added a lot of fun.
Jiang Xinxin was lingering there, reluctant to leave, when she suddenly heard two unusual voices.
One voice came from Tang Lizhi, whom he knew well, asking why Ayan wanted to kill him, while another angry voice questioned why he even wanted to fight back.
There's no need for further explanation now. The person whose gaze met Tang Lizhi's was none other than Liu Yan, the Venerable Master of the Paradise Tower, and the direct source of the Nine Hearts Pill of the Ape Demon.
Jiang Xinxin was about to arrest Liu Yan directly, but Shen Langhun made a rash move and startled Liu Yan away. Most importantly, Jiang Xinxin clearly saw Shen Langhun stab Liu Yan's heart meridian in a desperate attempt, yet she still had the strength to seriously injure Shen Langhun and then drift away and disappear.
Jiang Xinxin couldn't help but think of the special cultivation technique Fang Zhou practiced. The Thirteenth Floor only recorded the name of the technique, "The Rebirth Manual." Now it seems that this Rebirth Manual is even more powerful than the Yangzhou Slow Technique that Li Xiangyi practiced. After all, the Yangzhou Slow Technique is only moderate and peaceful, focusing on nourishing the body's muscles, bones, blood vessels, and meridians, but it does not have the miraculous effect of healing injuries in a short period of time.
Tang Lizhi wanted to persuade Liu Yan to give up his current actions of using the Nine Hearts of the Ghost to wreak havoc on the martial arts world, and to abandon evil and embrace good. However, Liu Yan had only one goal: to kill Tang Lizhi.
Tang Lizhi found a delicate peach petal on Shen Langhun's body, thus discovering Liu Yan's hiding place.
Jiang Xinxin seized the last moment when Liu Yan was hiding and trying to escape, and with the help of this last bit of energy, she successfully found Liu Yan's hiding place.
Moreover, Jiang Xinxin knew Tang Licheng's abilities and understood that he would definitely find Liu Yan. Therefore, when she first went to find him, she did not arrest Liu Yan immediately, but hid to the side and waited for Tang Licheng to arrive.
The reason why the two brothers had turned against each other was not even investigated by the thirteenth floor. Jiang Xinxin was not interested in the entanglement between Tang Lizhi and Liu Yan, but only in the ultimate boss behind Liu Yan, because the other party was the most unfriendly and tough one.
The moment Liu Yan saw Tang Lizhi approaching, her guard immediately broke down. However, unusually, she didn't attack immediately. Instead, she hissed and asked, "Tang Lizhi, do you still remember that it was Fang Zhou who took you in and not only taught you manners, basic necessities, and martial arts skills?!"
Tang Lizhi, recalling Fang Zhou who had almost given her a second life, naturally poured out her heart. That's why Liu Yan couldn't understand why Tang Lizhi would kill Fang Zhou!
Tang Lizhi didn't explain, but Jiang Xinxin couldn't stand this melodramatic scene where she was afraid of saying a single extra word and it would be fatal. She directly appeared and raised her hand, suppressing both Liu Yan and Tang Lizhi there.
Tang Licheng was startled to see Jiang Xinxin come looking for her and quickly pleaded for Liu Yan, "Please, Miss Jiang, have mercy!"
Jiang Xinxin showed no intention of killing Liu Yan. Instead, she sat down leisurely, looked at Liu Yan who was filled with resentment, and asked, "It sounds like you personally witnessed Tang Lizhi kill your senior brother Fang Zhou?"
Liu Yan recognized Jiang Xinxin from Tang Lizhi's words. He never expected that the person who made the antidote for the Nine Hearts of the Ghost was actually a young girl who looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old. He was even more surprised that the first thing Jiang Xinxin asked him was about the entanglement between him and Tang Lizhi.
Liu Yan stubbornly refused to speak, so Jiang Xinxin slapped him twice in annoyance and snorted coldly: "You need to understand the situation. With your sinister stuff like the Nine Hearts of the Ape Demon spreading all over the world, you certainly won't survive if you fall into my hands. The reason I didn't kill you right away is just to get clues about the mastermind from you."
"If you cooperate fully, that's fine; I can always find an easier way for you to die. But if you don't know what's good for you, I also have a martial art that's not exactly orthodox, called Shadow Shift. If I use it, I can read everything in your mind."
"But since this method is not the right way, it means that after it is used, it will definitely damage your mind. In severe cases, it will turn you into a living corpse, and in milder cases, it will turn you into a complete idiot."
"You choose: will you cooperate with my questioning, or will you remain silent and choose to fight me to the end?"
Tang Lizhi knew that Jiang Xinxin never lied, and excitedly spoke up for Liu Yan: "Miss Jiang, Princess! Since Your Highness suspects that A Yan was just deceived, please be lenient with A Yan!"
After saying that, he turned to Liu Yan and urged her earnestly: "Yan, tell me quickly! Tell His Highness who exactly bewitched you into making that sinister thing called the Nine Hearts of the Ape Demon Pill?!"
Liu Yan had never taken Jiang Xinxin seriously. The reason he had previously harassed her was simply because she could refine the antidote for the Nine Hearts of the Ghost, which greatly hindered his plans. Even after learning from Tang Lici that she was actually the Langya Princess whom the current Empress had just recognized, he remained unmoved and planned to wait and see what kind of unorthodox methods Jiang Xinxin had mentioned.
But he absolutely could not accept Tang Lizhi's plea, so he immediately lost his composure and shouted sternly, "Shut up!"
"I only regret that my martial arts skills are insufficient and my methods are inadequate, so I was unable to avenge Fang Zhou and personally kill you, you ungrateful bastard!"
Jiang Xinxin raised her hand and slapped Tang Lici twice. The neat handprints on the cheeks of the two brothers looked quite comical.
After beating the people, Jiang Xinxin finally vented her anger and said, "Fang Zhou brought you two back, which is exactly what happened. One of you led him to an insurmountable enemy; the other, under the guise of avenging him, ruined his reputation. I don't know what he owes you."
Liu Yan was always particularly sensitive when it came to matters involving Fang Zhou. He suddenly realized what Jiang Xinxin had said and struggled to break free from her suppression, wanting to get an explanation.
