Taiping Inn

In a room at the deepest part of the dungeon, Li Qingzhu sat huddled on a bed covered with embroidered bedding. Her body was already a little stiff, but she still dared not move.

She was originally a young lady from a scholarly family in Qizhou. Her family was also a family of good deeds. The Book of Changes says: "A family of good deeds will have good fortune." But her family's good deeds not only failed to bring "good fortune", but also brought "disaster".

When the group of refugees rushed into her house under the instigation of the Qingyang Sect, more than 20 clansmen and servants who wanted to resist were beaten to death. Her parents were captured and tortured for food. But there was not much food in her family at that time. No matter how they tortured, they could not produce food out of thin air. In anger, the refugees threw her parents into a boiling pot. Fortunately, these refugees were already starving and had no great desire for sex, otherwise she would have suffered abuse.

Later, she was sold to a ship with many other women on it. It was said that they were going to be sold to Jiangnan. During this period, she also thought about escaping, but she was caught and beaten, and then she was put in shackles.

Until today, a young steward came and asked someone to remove her shackles, and after she was slightly dressed up, she was blindfolded, tied her hands and feet, and then sent to the carriage. She only felt that the carriage was bumpy for a long time, and then she got off the carriage and was carried into a place by several people.

Li Qingzhu only felt that she was turning left and right, not knowing where she was. At first, she wanted to remember the east, south, west, and north, but later she gave up completely, and then she heard a "click, click, click" sound, and it seemed that she started to walk down again.

After walking for a while, the black scarf covering her eyes was taken off, and Li Qingzhu found that she was in a place that was called a prison cell but didn't look like a prison cell. She just glanced and saw that there were women in these rooms. Before she could take a closer look, she was carried into an empty room by the two eunuchs.

The two eunuchs threatened her to be obedient and then left.

Because her hands and feet were tied, it was difficult for her to get up. She had to use a lot of strength to curl up, as if only in this way could she feel a little safe. But reason told her that if a man really did something bad to her, she, a weak woman, would be in vain no matter what she did.

Just as she was thinking about it, the "click, click, click" sound she heard when she came in was heard outside again.

She quickly looked up and saw a tall figure slowly walking down, but when Li Qingzhu saw this tall figure, she was suddenly shocked.

Because she felt murderous intent in the man's eyes, just like those hungry refugees, cold-blooded and cruel.

Li Qingzhu is a weak woman, but she is not squeamish. She has never been the kind of delicate lady who can't stand the slightest wind and rain, otherwise she would not have wanted to escape several times.

In other words, if she was not born in a scholarly family, but in a martial arts sect, then today's Li Qingzhu would probably be a famous martial arts heroine.

She had a natural affinity and inexplicable intuition for the martial arts world, so she saw through at a glance that this man's expression, which was always without a trace of strangeness, was hiding his indifference to human life.

A great fear rose in Li Qingzhu's heart.

Because she knew very well that such a man came here not to humiliate women, but to kill people.

Sun Yiqi was different from his uncle. He was not a man who coveted women. In fact, except for his slightly inferior seniority, he was better than the uncle Sun who had become a corpse in other aspects.

It was because of this that the sect leader let him be responsible for this matter. As for that Uncle Sun, after all, his seniority is there. He was also an important and powerful figure in the sect. Although he has been getting worse and worse in recent years, and has been doing lewd things under the guise of recuperating, the sect master still gave him some face out of consideration for the old times, so he also let him come to Jinling Mansion. In name, he was in charge of the overall situation, but in fact, he planned to let him live out his life in this place.

Uncle Sun was quite sensible and did not interfere in the affairs of the sect. He just asked the Qian family woman for many women, both for practicing and for being lewd. Although Sun Yiqi did not agree with this, he could not say much.

Now that Uncle Sun was dead, Sun Yiqi immediately thought of these women, and concluded that there was a mistake in this matter, which attracted the assassin, so these women must not be left. Even if Chen Fang did not say it, he would come to clean up the mess. Now it is better for Chen Fang to speak. If there is any problem in the future, it is not his responsibility.

For him, these beautiful women can be killed, just like a flower withers and becomes a dead grass.

Human life is as cheap as grass.

Besides, when has anyone from Daozhong Sect ever been kind to women? If he doesn't have the heart to destroy flowers, how can he practice the "Purple River Method"?

Sun Yiqi glanced around the dungeon, and glanced at all the numb women, only lingering on Li Qingzhu for a while.

Because the emotion shown on this face is different from that of other women, under the seemingly numb disguise, there is fear that cannot be concealed, but the fear is not to the point of being at a loss, and there is still a little clarity. Such a heart can be said to be very spiritual. If a person standing here is a female sect, then it is very likely that this woman will be accepted as a disciple.

Unfortunately, Daozhong Sect is not a female sect.

Sun Yiqi whispered softly, "Only one person can leave the dungeon today."

The voice was not loud, and it was unclear whether he was speaking to the women in the dungeon or to himself.

"I agree with your words." At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded behind Sun Yiqi.

At the same time, a snow-white blade seemed to appear out of thin air and chopped straight at Sun Yiqi's back.

Compared to the old man surnamed Sun who had been away from the battlefield for a long time, Sun Yiqi, as a genuine ninth-floor building of the Return to the Realm, had a more acute perception and a faster reaction. Before the newcomer spoke, he had already had a warning in his heart, so when the knife fell, he rushed forward without looking back, narrowly dodged the sneak attack, and then turned around suddenly.

I saw a layer of qi ripples appear behind him, like a "lake surface". Previously, it was just a snow-white long knife passing through the "lake surface", but now it was the five fingers holding the knife, the wrist, and the arm passing through one by one, and finally a complete young man appeared behind him.

Sun Yiqi's eyes fell on the talisman between the index and middle fingers of the young man's left hand, and his face changed slightly: "'Taiyin Hidden Shape Talisman', did you kill Master Sun?"

The visitor nodded slightly and did not deny it.

Sun Yiqi's eyes were deep, and he said: "It seems that you want to kill me too."

The visitor smiled and said: "Before, when we were up there, that eunuch Chen opened the talisman formation of the Weaving Bureau, and it was really difficult to do it. But here, deep underground, it is independent of the talisman formation of the Weaving Bureau. Even if there is some noise, it will not alarm other people. It can be seen that the feng shui is very good and most suitable for burying people. And you just said that only one person can leave this place alive. If I kill you too, wouldn't it show that you are smart and can make your words come true?"

Sun Yiqi was not provoked by the words, but secretly circulated his qi, concentrating on being alert and ready to go.

Since this person was able to assassinate Master Sun, whether it was a sneak attack or not, it showed that this person's cultivation level was quite good. I was afraid that I would not be sure of winning against this person. Instead of fighting to the death, I didn't know whether I would live or die, so I might as well rush out of this stone prison. As long as I return to the ground, I will be safe and worry-free with the large formation and many masters of the Weaving Bureau.

At the same time, Li Qingzhu also widened her eyes, her face full of surprise. Because she recognized the second man who appeared here, the young steward who brought her here before.

It must be said that Li Qingzhu is a smart person. At this moment, she vaguely understood that the young steward was probably not an ordinary steward, and he was not the same kind of person as the people here. The purpose of sending herself here might be to find this place.
