While writing a diary at Zongwu, Wang Yuyan falls in love with someone else.

Then, the crowd parted, and Kong Xingyi and Yu Canghai walked out side by side.

Jiang Sishui, seeing Yu Canghai's attire, said indifferently, "You're also from the Qingcheng Sect?"

also!

Yu Canghai keenly picked out this word, and his temper flared up instantly, his eyes flashing with murderous intent: "Judging from your words, you have met with my disciples?"

Jiang Sishui muttered to herself, "The master of the Four Beasts of Qingcheng is so ugly and so short... It seems you must be Yu Canghai."

"I not only saw them, but I also killed them with a single sword strike."

"What? You want to see them? I'll help you."

As she spoke, Jiang Sishui picked up a fallen leaf that was drifting by with two fingers and casually threw it at Yu Canghai.

However, this seemingly casual gesture made Yu Canghai's eyelids twitch.

A sense of impending death washed over him. Without even thinking, Yu Canghai unleashed the fastest sword strike of his life, cleaving towards the fallen leaves.

With a clear "clang," the longsword made of fine steel broke in two, its tip falling to the ground.

The fallen leaf, like an arrow, pierced Yu Canghai's chest and stabbed into his heart, its direction unchanged.

Yu Canghai's eyes showed disbelief and horror as he looked at his bleeding chest. He opened his mouth, but could not utter a word.

His legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground, dead, his eyes still wide open.

169 The Demon Within the Heavenly Desire Palace, Divine Physician Li Buyi

Seeing Yu Canghai's unseeing eyes in death, the women of the Huangshan Sect were greatly shocked.

Yu Canghai's cultivation level is not high, only at the Grandmaster level, and it seems that he has only recently broken through. There are many people in the Huangshan Sect who are better than him.

Kong Xingyi was confident that she could easily deal with him.

But Jiang Sishui's effortless skill—throwing a fallen leaf to shatter a fine steel sword and instantly kill Yu Canghai—was something she could only dream of.

Even if Qiu Duandao were to be resurrected, he couldn't do it, let alone her.

Thinking of this, Kong Xingyi felt heavy-hearted.

Judging from Jiang Sishui's actions, he undoubtedly had the ability to kill Qiu Duandao.

His appearance here at this sensitive time makes him highly suspicious.

At this moment, Jiang Sishui looked over: "Huangshan Sect disciple, do you have something to discuss with me?"

The women of the Huangshan Sect looked at each other in bewilderment.

Something?

Of course something happened!

Before you could even say anything, the person who was causing trouble was taken care of by you.

Thinking of this, the women couldn't help but glance at Yu Canghai's corpse and mourn for him for a while.

After a furious chase, the murderer was finally found, but instead of getting revenge, 340 ended up getting himself caught in the crossfire.

He was still defeated in one move!

So pitiful.

However, now that Yu Canghai is dead, should they be considered to be in trouble or not?

All the women looked at Kong Xingyi, waiting for her to make a decision.

Kong Xingyi felt immense pressure and didn't know whether she should speak up.

She was terrified that if she asked this question, the other party would become enraged and go on a killing spree, leaving all of them behind.

But if she doesn't ask, there will always be a thorn in her heart, and the truth about Qiu Duandao's death will never be revealed.

Caught between a rock and a hard place, Kong Xingyi suddenly caught sight of A Zhu to the side, and the black-robed man with the missing arm on the ground.

Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed into her mind.

No, you're thinking wrong!

Perhaps... she misunderstood.

The reason is simple: who has ever seen an assassin commit a crime while accompanied by a seemingly delicate woman?

Furthermore, according to the report, the person who came was a man and a woman, but there are three people on the other side right now.

One of them was not only seriously injured and unable to move, but his wounds were also fresh, so it was obvious who the perpetrator was.

Three people, from two opposing sides.

Looking at the black-robed man's furtive attire, Kong Xingyi suddenly had a sudden realization.

Suppressing her excitement, she bowed to Jiang Sishui and said, "I am Kong Xingyi, the eldest disciple of the Huangshan Sect. We apologize for not being able to welcome you properly."

Jiang Sishui replied with a smile: "I came to Huangshan, not the Huangshan Sect. Your sect has no need to pay attention to a leisurely guest like me."

It's Huangshan that's here, not the Huangshan School?

Kong Xingyi's heart skipped a beat, and she understood two layers of meaning.

This statement implies that the Huangshan Sect has no obligation to provide hospitality and need not trouble themselves, but similarly, the Huangshan Sect has no right to dictate where he goes.

After all, Huangshan is Huangshan, and the Huangshan School is the Huangshan School; the two cannot be equated.

Kong Xingyi dared not refute, and respectfully said, "To be honest, we are searching the mountains to apprehend criminals. We came here by chance and did not intend to disturb you."

"Catch the culprit?" Jiang Sishui glanced at the man in black robes, seemingly lost in thought.

Kong Xingyi was also secretly observing the man in black robes, and said, "That's right. Our sect's Elder Qiu Duandao was assassinated last night and unfortunately passed away. Our sect is currently investigating the murderer."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Sishui connected the dots and immediately made a guess.

This man in black robes is most likely the murderer; no wonder he's been hiding.

As for why the other party attacked him?

Upon reflection, Jiang Sishui realized that it was precisely at the moment he and Azhu decided to enter the crevice that the "cicada's sense of wonder" was awakened.

Therefore, the man in black robes was probably worried about being exposed, so he struck first rather than deliberately targeting him.

Having figured all this out, Jiang Sishui felt a sense of clarity.

Jiang Sishui glanced at the man in black robes, then kicked him away, recounting how he had hidden in the crevice and ambushed people.

Upon hearing this, Kong Xingyi immediately felt 80-90% certain.

After thanking Jiang Sishui, Kong Xingyi used her sword sheath to lift the black-robed man's chin.

Upon seeing the other person's appearance, she was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "A demon in your heart?!"

Seeing that his identity had been exposed, the man in black finally stopped pretending to be mute and gritted his teeth, saying, "That's right! I am the inner demon of the Heavenly Desire Palace!"

Heavenly Desire Palace?

Upon hearing these three words, Jiang Sishui felt a sense of familiarity.

"So it was you! You're still alive! No wonder there were no wounds on Uncle Qiu's body; he was hit by your 'Mind-Sealing Technique'!"

"Hmph, inner demon, you have committed countless evils. Today you have run into my hands, so you shall pay for your life with Uncle Qiu!"

Having said that, Kong Xingyi drew his sword to stab.

The inner demon's expression changed slightly, and he shouted fiercely, "If you kill me, Palace Master Geshu will surely wipe out your Huangshan Sect!"

Kong Xingyi, however, remained completely unafraid: "You killed my Uncle Qiu, this is an irreconcilable feud. If Geshu Tian comes, we will fight him to the death! There are no cowards in the Huangshan Sect!"

Having said that, without waiting for the inner demon to say anything more, Kong Xingyi pierced his heart with a sword.

“Heavenly Desire Palace…Geshu Heaven…Heart Demon…” Jiang Sishui’s thoughtful gaze gradually cleared.

After killing the assassin, the women of Huangshan Sect were initially overjoyed, but then their brows furrowed with worry and anxiety.

Clearly, the death threat from their inner demons put immense pressure on them.

After Kong Xingyi struck with her sword, she also beheaded the inner demon.

Seeing Jiang Sishui deep in thought, I assumed he was puzzled by the background and methods of his inner demons.

Out of gratitude, and also to forge a good relationship, Kong Xingyi explained, "Tianyu Palace is an evil force."

"Palace Master Ge Shutian was once a late-stage Grandmaster who cultivated a 'Heavenly Demon Divine Skill' and has disappeared from the martial arts world for many years."

"According to what Uncle Qiu said before his death, this person either died accidentally or was trying to explore the path of heaven and man."

"The Heart Demon is a henchman of the Heavenly Desire Palace. Eight years ago, it used a technique called 'Soul-Seizing Technique' to slaughter righteous masters, which provoked many sects to join forces against it."

"Unfortunately, the inner demon is elusive and its ambush attempts have repeatedly failed."

"By chance, the divine physiognomist Li Buyi was drawn into this turmoil and confronted his inner demons."

"The two sides fought and both were severely injured, but Li Buyi also obtained the blood of the inner demon."

"Li Buyi dripped the blood of his inner demon onto the 'Xuanwu Crystal,' and with the help of the Wuji Sect's 'Taiyi Heart Method,' he not only sensed the location of the demon's hiding place, but also 'saw' the demon's true face."

"The righteous factions then joined forces to exterminate him, finally eradicating his inner demon. Unexpectedly, this person had faked his death years ago, deceiving everyone."
