Demonic Calamity Across the Heavens: Starting with Little Li's Flying Dagger

Chapter 168 Before the Battle: The Six Ren Divine Dice, a Substitution of Fate!

"The Grand Eunuch has ordered that all the masters in the land be summoned to the Murong family. If they do not arrive within three days, the nearest garrison will be ordered to cut down the mountains and destroy the temples, severing their sect and cutting off their lineage!"

"The Grand Eunuch has ordered all martial arts families across the land, regardless of age or gender, to rush to the Murong family's residence. If they fail to arrive within three days, their homes will be confiscated and their entire families exterminated at the nearest government office!"

The emperor being threatened was too humiliating, so everything was attributed to Liu Xi's orders. But Liu happy was even more ruthless, directly publicizing what happened in the Qianqing Palace, especially the fact that Wei Wu was an immortal and Jiang Yuyan was an immortal's disciple.

It emphasizes that three months ago, Jiang Yuyan was just a street performer who suffered all kinds of bullying, but now, three months later, she has developed remarkable martial arts skills.

People in the martial arts world strive for fame and fortune. Even though the martial arts world was suppressed by the Eastern Depot and the Embroidered Uniform Guard, it could not change the inherent habits of martial arts masters.

True masters began to emerge, arriving at the Murong family at an absurd speed, as if straight out of a martial arts novel, awaiting Jiang Yuyan's arrival.

They had never seen an immortal, but if they had the chance to get a share of the spoils from an immortal's disciple, that would be an incredible stroke of luck. Even if it angered the immortal, just seeing the immortal take action would be a blessing they had earned through countless lifetimes, even if it cost them their lives.

Not only that, Liu happy also specially released all the "Five Yang" masters he had captured and healed their injuries.

Tie Ruyun cracked her knuckles, loosened her limbs, and looked at Liu Xi warily. "Liu happy, what exactly are you going to do, going to all this trouble?"

Liu happy stood by the window, hands behind his back, gazing at the sky. Upon hearing this, he clenched his fists tightly and said sharply, "I don't want to do anything else, I just want to prove myself!"

"In one breath?" Tie Ruyun asked, a mixture of confusion and curiosity in her voice. "Who in the world could possibly make you, the Grand Eunuch, suffer such humiliation, to the point that you'd disregard your own bright future?"

Liu happy never concealed his plan from these experts to absorb the true energy of the five yang and two yin on the day the seven stars aligned, in order to master the skill of absorbing energy from a distance.

But now he has abandoned the plan, simply because the timing is simply not right.

"Three days. I only have three days. After three days, a master will storm the Murong family alone and assassinate the Crown Prince in full view of everyone!"

Tie Ruyun and the other three exchanged bewildered glances, their expressions changing drastically. After a long silence, Tie Ruyun exclaimed in astonishment, "You want us to assassinate the Crown Prince?"

"Heh, you think you can do it?" Liu happy let out a contemptuous laugh, turning his face. His once youthful face was now deeply lined, and his sinister eyes were filled with bloodlust and madness. "The assassin who tried to kill the Crown Prince was a disciple of an immortal. He notified us three days in advance, telling us to be prepared, lest this immortal disciple not have enough fun killing him!"

His body was trembling, and even the patterns on his clothes seemed to come alive. Accompanied by the sinister laughter that rang out from her mouth, a cold wind swept through the room.

"How arrogant! How powerful!"

"A dignified immortal sent a little girl who had only cultivated for three months to slaughter us and kill the crown prince in public!"

What arrogance, what haughtiness!

Bang!

Liu happy slammed his hand on the table, shattering it. His bloodshot eyes were filled with venom. "He looks down on me! He wants me to be his whetstone! Then I will break this blade on which he has placed such high hopes!"

Tie Ruyun and the others were completely confused.

Hua Wuque, who had been rescued in the corner, also raised his head. His cold face remained expressionless, but the way he glanced at Liu Xi seemed to say, "Are you sick in the head?"

Tie Ruyun casually asked, "Who is this immortal you're talking about?"

"Wei! Wu!" Liu happy's voice was filled with immense hatred, a hatred so intense that he wished he could tear Wei Wu apart with six horses.

But the next instant, a voice even more hateful than his rang out in the room: "Who are you calling a liar?!"

Hua Wuque, his back pressed against the wall, struggled to his feet, his face contorted in a grotesque grimace, veins bulging like earthworms as his features contorted, turning his not-so-pale face a blood-red hue. "Wei Wu! I'm going to kill him!!!"

Liu Xi was overjoyed upon hearing the voice, thinking it was some hidden talent with a deep-seated grudge against Wei Wu. However, when he turned around and saw a cripple with a broken arm, his joy turned to disappointment. "You cripple, how dare you speak so arrogantly here!"

He didn't say much, turned his head and left.

Based on the principle of proximity, he settled this group of people at the Jiang residence, the Jiang of Jiang Biehe.

Meanwhile, the Divine Nun of the South Sea returned to the martial world with Jiang Yufeng. After learning what had happened from Jiang Liushi, the master and disciple were completely dumbfounded.

Thinking of Jiang Yuyan's terrifying swordsmanship, the South Sea Divine Nun's face immediately darkened, as if shrouded in gloom. "Jiang Yuyan's incredible swordsmanship is not bad, but without strong true qi to support it, she simply cannot use that swordsmanship."

Liu happy strode in and said, "So, Master, you've met Jiang Yuyan before?"

The South Sea Divine Nun was a remarkable figure in the martial arts world. She usually looked down on Liu happy, a lackey of the imperial court, but now that they had a common enemy, she had no choice but to put aside her grudges and said, "That's right. Jiang Yuyan's swordsmanship is extremely complex. Wherever her sword moves cover, there is no chance of survival. But if she were to simplify her complex techniques, even this old nun would have no choice but to flee in panic."

Liu happy frowned, sat down in the main seat, and sighed, "So, the only way is to start with internal energy?"

The first thing everyone thought of was poison.

With the capabilities of the Eastern Depot, they naturally discovered that Wei Wu had cured Su Rushi of poison.

Although Jiang Yuyan couldn't possibly practice both swordsmanship and poison techniques in three months, she certainly had antidotes to prevent the use of poison, so using poison might not guarantee victory.

So Liu happy said, "Those poisoners seem to be holding some kind of strange poison competition. Let's capture them all and make them develop a strange poison that can make people lose all their power within three days. If they can't do it, these people will be buried with the Murong family."

"Amitabha, Heaven cherishes life," the South Sea Divine Nun sighed, then said, "We cannot place all our hopes on them. It is a pity that the Tu family was wiped out, otherwise we could have used their family heirloom, the Six Ren Divine Dice."

A glint of shrewdness flashed in Liu happy's eyes. "Oh? The nun is referring to the legendary Six Ren Divine Dice, which supposedly contains the highest level of the 'Wedding Dress Divine Skill'—the 'Transplanting Flowers and Grafting Trees' technique?"

"Indeed, it is said that after mastering this martial art, one can absorb the opponent's internal energy from a distance, regardless of the strength of that person's power. As long as the opponent cannot resist, one can recklessly convert their power into one's own!"

The South Sea Goddess explained in detail the ingenious use of grafting.

Liu happy suddenly stood up and said, "Investigate! Even if we have to turn this whole world upside down, we must find out who destroyed the Tu family and took away the Six Ren Divine Dice!"

At the Eunuch's command, the Imperial Guards were dispatched and immediately discovered the truth: the person who destroyed the Tu family was Jiang Biehe, who had even forged the Murong family's crest to frame the Murong family!

"You traitorous bastard!" Liu happy's eyes seemed to blaze with fire as he stared at the Six Ren Divine Dice in his hand, grinning maliciously.

He said, "We really have to thank you, Jiang Biehe!"
