Immortal Dynasty Hounds

Chapter 83 Killing His Sister to Prove His Dao, First Encounter with the Prince
Based on Lian Shanxin's record of defeating Qianmian alone, he said that Kong Yujia was a demonic person from the Demonic Sect. Although it was very sudden, most people believed him 70% of the time.

"Was Confucius really a heretic and demonic figure?"

"It should be right. The Heavenly Eye can see through even a thousand faces, let alone a Grandmaster."

“It’s true that people cannot be judged by their appearance.”

"After all, Qianmian served as the vice-headmaster of the academy for so long. It would be reasonable to say that Confucius was a member of the demonic sect."

Many people have even come up with reasons for Kong Yujia's collaboration with the demons for Lian Shanxin.

As for questioning Lianshanxin?
Thousand Faces had just escaped.

Who can disbelieve in the power of clairvoyance?

You're even better than a thousand faces?

Lian Shanxin said the same thing.

He pointed to his own eyes and said in a deep voice, "My eyes are the evidence, Confucius. Will you deny it to the death, or will you surrender and admit your guilt?"

"I am not guilty."

Kong Yujia, of course, would not admit it.

"That means they'll deny it to the death."

Lian Shanxin immediately decided to kill him.

Then he glanced at Zhang Aniu.

Qi Shiyun was able to kill a Grandmaster in the Qi Condensation Realm, and Lian Shanxin believed he could do the same.

But it is not necessary.

His opponent was the Grandmaster Thousand Faces. Why would a mere Grandmaster be worth his personal attention?
Let Zhang Aniu do it.

But Zhang Aniu kicked the ball back.

"Xiao Xin, kill her."

Lian Shanxin heard Zhang Aniu's telepathic message and remained silent for a moment.

Although I feel I can fight opponents of higher levels, I still have more experience fighting Thousand Faces.

Is it really appropriate for me to fight a Grandmaster?

However, when the leader issued the order, Lianshanxin still chose to carry it out without hesitation.

"Since you refuse to admit it to the death, then I will grant your wish."

Lian Shanxin, knife in hand, swung it down towards Kong Yujia's head.

At this moment, the two masters who had restrained Kong Yujia hesitated, unsure whether to dodge or stop Lian Shanxin.

In the brief moment of their hesitation, Kong Yujia let out a low roar and broke free from his restraints, advancing instead of retreating in the face of Lian Shanxin's blade.

"Lian Shanxin, you're asking for death."

A powerful aura erupted from Kong Yujia, a power and presence befitting a grandmaster.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Kong Yujia's hand was about to grab Lian Shanxin's throat.

But she was still a step slow.

Because Lian Shanxin's knife had already pierced her lower abdomen.

Kong Yujia's eyes were filled with disbelief, and then her gaze toward Lian Shanxin became even more venomous: "You all deserve to die, if you're going to die, you'll die together."

boom!
An aura far surpassing that of a Grandmaster once again emanated from the dying Kong Yujia, its intensity even leading some to suspect that Kong Yujia had approached the Domain Realm.

"No, that's not right. Confucius couldn't possibly be that strong."

"This is……"

"Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique".

boom!
Kong Yujia immediately revealed her secret.

No bones remain.

But just before she self-destructed, Zhang Aniu made a move and grabbed Lian Shanxin, pulling him to his side.

Then take a step forward.

As Zhang Aniu stepped forward, the area of ​​the self-destruction rapidly shrank.

And in the end, it only turned into smoke and dust filling the sky.

This is a dimensional reduction attack from a grandmaster.

No one was surprised that Zhang Aniu had such strength.

Everyone was surprised that Lian Shanxin was able to severely injure Kong Yujia with a single strike, forcing Kong Yujia to use the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique.

What shocked everyone even more was that Kong Yujia had actually practiced demonic arts.

Zhang Aniu's gaze towards Lian Shanxin was also full of admiration.

"Xiao Xin, your 'True Meaning of Penetrating Void' is indeed extraordinary; you were even able to see through Kong Yujia's cultivation of demonic arts."

Lian Shanxin said solemnly, "Her cultivation is not as good as Qianmian's, so she was exposed more thoroughly. I just wanted to give her a chance to repent, but I didn't expect her to be so deeply entrenched in demonic ways."

After exchanging a glance with Zhang Aniu, Lian Shanxin lowered his head to accept the compliment.

Ah Niu was really helpful; he just managed to control Kong Yujia for him.

When masters clash, the difference is often just a hair's breadth.

With a grandmaster taking sides, Kong Yujia's loss was not unjust.

Before she died, Kong Yujia realized that the reason she was stabbed through the abdomen by Lian Shanxin was because a Grandmaster who did not want to reveal his name had plotted against her.

So before she died, she said, "You all deserve to die."

Unfortunately, she didn't even have the right to die together with Zhang Aniu.

So he only fantasized about dying together with La Lianshanxin.

But Zhang Aniu still had a conscience and rescued Lian Shanxin in time.

Only Kong Yujia's remains remain.

Lian Shanxin never expected that Kong Yujia would actually know the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique.

Of course, Lian Shanxin would not admit to this.

He readily accepted the praise from all sides.

After he had listened to his words to his heart's content, he drew his sword again: "First it was Lin Xiangwen, then Kong Yujia. My lord, the infiltration of the academy by the Thousand Faces is probably more powerful than we imagined. We must investigate thoroughly."

“This matter needs to be considered carefully. After all, the academy is a place for teaching and nurturing people, and we can’t let everyone feel insecure,” Zhang Aniu said.

Many people breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

Although they realized that Lian Shanxin and Zhang Aniu were putting on an act, the outcome was good for now, and they could only be grateful.

“Of course, I grant you the authority to act as you see fit. If you encounter any evil cult members committing crimes, just take them down,” Zhang Aniu added.

Lian Shanxin's expression turned serious: "I understand, sir. The Kong family has been involved with Qianmian twice in a row, so I'm afraid we should investigate."

“Indeed, an investigation is necessary. We shouldn’t trouble two people with the same matter, so I’ll temporarily put you in charge of this.” Zhang Aniu said, “If it’s found that the Kong family and Qianmian have no connection, don’t make things difficult for them. It seems that the Kong family may also be a victim.”

After all, Kong Ningyue is dead, and Kong Ningze is dead too.

As for Kong Yujia, she deserved to die.

"Alright, there's nothing else for now, you can all disperse and resume normal teaching. Xiao Xin, take Envoy Nie to see Doctor Xu."

"Alright, Envoy Nie, come with me."

Nie Youzhu hurriedly followed.

A quarter of an hour later.

Xu Shangyi shook his head at Nie Youzhu.

This made Nie Youzhu's heart sink: "Doctor Xu, is there no hope for me?"

“It’s not that serious, you’re just half dead. Besides, your injuries are too severe, can you find the Thousand-Year Snow Lotus?” Xu Shangyi asked.

Nie Youzhu could only smile bitterly: "I'm afraid I don't have that luck."

“Then your cultivation level will probably drop to the Grandmaster realm.” Xu Shangyi said directly, “Qianmian went all out this time. You are already very lucky to have survived.”

Lian Shanxin felt a wave of fear wash over him.

He never expected his defeated opponents to be so fierce. It seems he really did not kill Tian Ji and Zhuo Biyu before.

When encountering someone like Nie Youzhu, who is not a "second-generation genius," Qianmian goes all out.

Hearing Xu Shangyi say this, Nie Youzhu remained calm: "To be able to survive under the command of a Grandmaster is already a stroke of luck. How could I dare to hope for more?"

“It’s good that you have this mindset.” Xu Shangyi nodded. “Just focus on your recovery. It won’t be possible for your injuries to heal in less than a few months.”

"Thank you very much, Dr. Xu."

"No need to be polite, kid. You need to be careful in the future. Judging from her injuries, Qianmian hates you to death," Xu Shangyi reminded her.

Lian Shanxin nodded in deep agreement, but still spoke calmly: "Uncle Xu, although Qianmian hates me, he can't do anything to me. Having been defeated by me twice, I guess I have become his inner demon."

"You are indeed exceptionally talented." Xu Shangyi said with great admiration.

He couldn't see through her thousand-faced disguise.

"I'll go get her the medicine. You two can talk."

After Xu Shangyi left the room, Nie Youzhu solemnly apologized to Lian Shanxin again: "Young Master Xin, today's matter was indeed a misunderstanding. Fortunately, you discovered it in time and prevented a major disaster."

Lian Shanxin reminded him, "Your good sister Kong Yujia is dead."

"Our Zhuzhao Qianqiu Pavilion has always maintained neutrality and will never participate in the struggles of the martial world because of personal grudges." Nie Youzhu said solemnly, "Although Yu Jia is my friend, I have never been involved in her affairs, and I will not be in the future."

Lian Shanxin nodded; he was good at reading comprehension. Nie Youzhu's meaning was that Kong Yujia wasn't influential enough to warrant Zhuzhao Qianqiu Pavilion taking sides.

"Then let's talk about my ranking on the Hidden Dragon List."

Lian Shanxin still values ​​the Hidden Dragon List very much.

After all, he has now confirmed that activating "Tianyan Check" consumes reputation points.

Making it onto the Hidden Dragon List would undoubtedly bring him immense prestige.

The higher the ranking, the greater the bonus.

This failed attempt to observe Qianmian has depleted the reputation points accumulated previously, and "Tianyan Check" has once again entered a dormant state.

Fortunately, Lian Shanxin had a good attitude. Although his observation failed, he had brains in addition to his talent.

They immediately identified Qianmian's identity.

The same applies to successful observation.

A small win!

"I defeated Thousand Faces twice in a row. This record is enough to put me at the top of the Hidden Dragon Ranking," Lian Shanxin said confidently.

Once he becomes the top of the Hidden Dragon List, his name will truly be known throughout the world.

At that time, "Tianyan Check" will probably be able to see through the secrets of Qianmian.

Nie Youzhu had mixed feelings about Lian Shanxin's confidence: "Young Master Xin, do you know anything about our Zhuzhao Qianqiu Pavilion?"

Lian Shanxin frankly said, "I don't know much about it."

Nie Youzhu said, "Our Zhuzhao Qianqiu Pavilion actually had immortals among its ancestors."

Lian Shanxin immediately smiled.

All the major powers in the world claim to be descendants of immortals.

However, apart from the Yu royal family confirming its authenticity, the gods worshipped by other major powers have never manifested their divine power.

Lianshanxin regards all of this as mere empty talk and grandstanding.

Nie Youzhu clearly saw through Lian Shanxin's thoughts and said seriously, "Not only that, our Zhuzhao Qianqiu Pavilion also enshrines a celestial artifact, which is the foundation of our Zhuzhao Qianqiu Pavilion."

"Oh?" Lian Shanxin became interested: "What do you worship?"

"The Eye of the Candle Dragon!"

"The Eye of the Candle Dragon?"

"The Candle Dragon is an ancient divine beast. When its eyes are open, it is day; when its eyes are closed, it is night. Nothing can hide from its eyes. Our Candle Illumination Pavilion enshrines one of the Candle Dragon's eyes, hence the name Candle Illumination Pavilion."

Lian Shanxin expressed his doubts: "If it really is the Eye of the Candle Dragon, how could your Candle Illumination Pavilion have been preserved?"

Nie Youzhu smiled confidently: "We have always maintained neutrality, and the leaders of the pavilion throughout the ages have all been Grandmasters."

“That’s not enough,” Lian Shanxin shook his head.

If he were Emperor Yu, he would surely feel that this item is destined for me.

A mere Grandmaster has no real deterrent power.

Even a master like Qianmian was defeated by him, wasn't he?
Seeing that she couldn't scare Lian Shanxin, Nie Youzhu had no choice but to continue revealing the inside story: "The Candle Dragon Eye that we worship has lost all its divine powers, but with the help of this immortal artifact, the first Pavilion Master created the Heaven-Rank Technique 'Candle Dragon Thousand Machines Sensing Scripture,' which can distinguish the strength of others. This is also the reason why the major forces recognize the ranking list we created."

Lian Shan believed it.

That makes sense.

The true Eye of the Candle Dragon, the Candle Illuminating a Thousand Autumns Pavilion, is definitely beyond saving.

However, the basic version of the Candle Dragon's Eye is not as valuable.

The master of the Candlelight Pavilion is also clever enough to find his niche in the world.

Ranking lists is a good track.

“Therefore, I can sense that your strength, Young Master Xin… is probably not enough to make it onto the Hidden Dragon Ranking,” Nie Youzhu said in a low voice.

Lian Shanxin immediately became displeased: "Envoy Nie, is your intuition accurate, or is Thousand Faces' escape more convincing? Are you better than Thousand Faces?"

Nie Youzhu could only smile wryly: "Young Master Xin, you startled a thousand faces... it's because your 'Heavenly Eye' is unparalleled and you can see through people, but your strength..."

“I just killed Kong Yujia as well,” Lian Shanxio said. “Kong Yujia was a master of many years.”

Nie Youzhu continued with a bitter smile: "Young Master Xin, if I may be frank, Kong Yujia wasn't in a good state when she fought with you; you only stabbed her once."

Lian Shanxin's face darkened: "Envoy Nie, was Kong Ningze brought to the academy by you?"

Nie Youzhu: "..."

Hasn't this matter already been put behind us?
How can you change your mind as quickly as turning the pages of a book?

When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Nie Youzhu had no choice but to make peace with Lian Shanxin: "Young Master Xin, what do you think of your ranking of seventy-fifth on the Hidden Dragon List?"

Lian Shanxin frowned and said, "Isn't the Hidden Dragon Ranking only ranked fifty people under the age of thirty?"

Nie Youzhu explained, "In recent years, many outstanding talents have emerged, so the Hidden Dragon List has also begun to increase its number of members. The next edition will have seventy-five Hidden Dragons."

This is inflation.

Lian Shanxin understands the need to loosen restrictions, but he doesn't want to be at the bottom of the pack.

Nie Youzhu could naturally sense Lian Shanxin's dissatisfaction.

However, the credibility of the Candlelight Pavilion cannot be easily undermined.

Placing Lian Shanxin last was already the limit of her underhanded tactics.

Nie Youzhu gritted her teeth: "Young Master Xin, I will give you another secret for free. I guarantee that the value of this secret is no less than that of making it onto the Hidden Dragon List, especially for you."

"Oh? Tell me about it."

"Young Master Xin has joined the 'Chosen One' lineage, so he must be supporting the dragons. I wonder if he knows anything about the dragon race?" Nie Youzhu asked.

Lian Shanxin smiled: "A little, I suppose."

You'll be terrified if I tell you.

So I won't say anything more.

"What do you think?"

Nie Youzhu said in a deep voice, "Before His Majesty ascended the throne, he traveled extensively in the martial world and had many experiences."

Lian Shanxin nodded: "I know that. Now tell me something I don't know."

Nie Youzhu really gave him a big surprise: "Back when Your Majesty was traveling around the world, you met a friend named Tian Jing. The two hit it off immediately and quickly became close friends. Then—they both fell in love with the same woman."

Lian Shanxin's mind stirred: "Go on."

"Later, His Majesty withdrew voluntarily, thus facilitating Tian Jing's marriage. Tian Jing quickly married that woman, and nine months after their marriage, she gave birth to a boy named Tian Ji."

Lian Shanxin understood those few sentences, which contained a great deal of information.

Then his expression was priceless.

I slay the dragon to prove my Dao, just as Tian Ji slayed his sister to prove his Dao?
