I, who disguised myself as a woman, turned out to be a queen! ?

Chapter 1344 Let the Empress Die

Su Chang'an paused, not understanding why his great-grandmother suddenly brought up Moyue, but truthfully replied, "I don't know."

After thinking about it for a moment, he said, "It should still be there."

Thinking back to the third level of the inner demon trap, although Su Chang'an didn't know how to understand it, he always felt that Mo Yue was still there.

Grandma nodded, but didn't say anything more, and just continued walking slowly forward.

Both of them had their backs to the martial arts practice area behind them, where swords flashed everywhere.

Sword Saint Yu Taohua's sword is different every time she uses it, just like the swords of all the swordsmen in the world. It is never restrained and is never bound by sword moves. It is as if she can use whatever sword she thinks of.

Therefore, no matter how much of a scoundrel he is, everyone gives him a thumbs up when he raises his sword.

Many people stopped and looked in the direction of the martial arts demonstration, especially the swordsmen who placed their hands on their scabbards and could clearly feel the humming of the longswords inside.

Grandma still didn't turn around, as if the swordsmanship that amazed so many people was nothing to her.

Su Chang'an didn't go to see it either. It was rare for the Empress to frown, because she was very puzzled as to why the Grandmother brought up the Moon-Sweeping Technique.

Grandma spoke up, "How did Yu Taohua's sword strike feel?"

Su Chang'an said, "It feels a bit like a show, the sword energy is too short."

Grandma nodded: "It's not just short, it's completely harmless, it's just an act."

Su Chang'an paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "He probably brought his wife and children with him, so he made a point of showing off in front of them."

Grandma looked at the burly man from the martial arts world walking towards her. The man carried a large sword on his back and was determined to walk straight ahead without giving way. The two men accompanying him were the same.

However, Grandma ignored her and continued walking forward: "Just because he loves his wife and children, I can make his injuries less severe."

Su Chang'an felt embarrassed, but looked at his great-grandmother and asked, "Grandma, what was the matter with the moon-wiping thing you just asked me about?"

Before the great-grandmother could speak, the man's men stepped forward and said, "Get out of the way!"

Grandma looked at the three people in front of her but did not say anything.

"Damn it, you old hag!"

boom!
With a wave of her hand, the man who was cursing was slapped and sent flying!

Then.
The other man was also sent flying by the slap!
Upon seeing this, the burly, arrogant man immediately placed his hand on the hilt of his knife: "Old woman, you..."

But before he could speak, the burly man froze, looking at the masked woman gripping his wrist with surprise, because this woman had just been standing in front of him.
Su Chang'an looked at the burly man: "If you draw your sword, I might be able to kill you."

The burly man subconsciously swallowed.

Subsequently
With a forceful throw, Su Chang'an sent the burly man flying.

Grandma continued walking slowly, ignoring these matters, and said, "I'm asking you because I've been wondering whether you've reached the nineteenth level of the Yiweiting realm."

Su Chang'an looked at his great-grandmother.

At this moment, several figures emerged from the crowd, surrounded the three people, and with ferocious expressions, led them directly into the shadows.

Grandma continued, "How could someone who wiped out an entire generation of martial arts practitioners be weak? Even if she didn't reach the nineteenth level, she shouldn't be like this. You are now at the eighteenth level, having passed the third level. So, if she was at the eighteenth level, had she also passed the third level?"

Actually, Su Chang'an had thought about this matter before. After all, Mo Yue said that she had not yet reached the nineteenth level, but Su Chang'an carefully recalled his conversation with Mo Yue and it seemed that she had never said that she had passed the third level.

Or perhaps it is.
Moyue had actually already passed away, but she just hadn't told him.

However, the phrase "倚危停十九停" does not necessarily mean "threefold".

Grandma spoke up: "Although I didn't experience it myself, I did read some books out of boredom and learned about the events of that era. At that time, China was in turmoil, and Emperor Taizong of the Great Xia Dynasty was conquering all sides. There were far more skilled and extraordinary people in the martial arts world back then than there are now. But even in that era, that woman wiped out the entire martial arts world and almost caused sects like the Celestial Master's Mansion and Jade Dragon Temple to lose their lineage. You can tell this just by looking at the sinister aura on that knife."

At this point, Grandma laughed and said, "I'm not surprised at all that she appeared in your inner demon trap. After all, that's how the great shaman of Mobei operates, and the Yiwei Ting Neng is still called the number one extraordinary skill, which is also due to its evil nature."

After thinking for a moment, Su Chang'an said, "Mo Yue only appears when I am in a life-threatening situation. But during the second level of the inner demon trap, I had not yet completed the inner demon trap, so I felt that she was always there. But this time I didn't feel that way."

After a moment of silence, Grandma looked at Su Chang'an and said, "In this competition, if you encounter Yunxiao or Danxian, use your true skills to fight them."

Grandma walked towards the tea stall ahead. "Leaving aside those who are hiding and whom I've never even seen, among those with formidable strength, only those two can truly fight you in your current state. Yunxiao is a bit weaker, but if that child doesn't control his nature, he could put up a fight with you. As for Danxian..."

At this point, the great-grandmother turned around and said, "He can freely control his third inner demon trap, but he can't get through it, which is why he has never chosen to overcome it."

Su Chang'an asked in surprise: "Controlling Inner Demons?"

Grandma said, "Dan Xian views the inner demon situation as a kind of 'self-reflection.' In his words, self-reflection is the same as observing oneself freely. The mind is like the surface of water. If you try to manipulate it, it will become turbulent. Some people are swept away, some are deeply trapped, but some people just sit on their spiritual platform and watch it. They don't need to respond to the waves. It will eventually return to calm. At this time, people are at ease, which is to observe oneself freely. They are not affected by any external or internal images and their minds are at ease."

As they were talking, Grandma walked into the tea stall and found an empty table with Su Chang'an to sit down. Grandma continued, "You've also learned his 'the highest good is like water'; what do you think of it?"

Su Chang'an said, "It feels like the old Celestial Master is taking a different path."

Grandma couldn't help but chuckle: "He's not stupid. Dan Xian knew he couldn't get past the third level, so he created 'Shang Shan Ruo Shui' (The Supreme Good is Like Water). He wanted to bypass the third level of inner demons and reach a higher level in martial arts. Taoism has a concept of Qi, which is the intention we cultivate in martial arts. Others can't see it, but we can use our martial arts, temperament, and methods to materialize it. A more advanced one is to transform intention. Dan Xian wanted to transform Qi and find another path."

But at this point, Grandma smiled and said, "How can one walk this path if one's character is not up to par?"

Then Grandma continued, "As for the Yiwei Ting technique, if I'm not mistaken, the woman in the Heart Demon Formation is on the Lingtai of Guanzizai. If you can find her, you will stand on the Lingtai. If you can't find her, then you have fallen into demonic possession. Those who practice Yiwei Ting can pass the Heart Demon Formation in any way, and that's the reason."

Grandma looked at the tea the shopkeeper brought. After all, it was just a tea stall, so it was just ordinary water with a slight flavor.

Grandma picked up the teacup, but didn't touch her lips. She looked at Su Chang'an and said, "I'm telling you all this because I want to tell you that in the upcoming martial arts competition, Dan Xian, Yun Xiao, and I have all said that we will force you into a death trap. Just go all out. But if you encounter me, I will force her to come out. I don't want such a hidden danger on you, so..."

After taking a sip of tea, Grandma smiled and looked at Su Chang'an: "Be prepared to die."

The voice just fell
A sudden burst of sword energy emanated from the training ground, like a whirlwind. Many people on the streets of the market had their swords trembling and clanging, as if they were about to be unsheathed!
Many people noticed this and immediately looked around, wondering what had happened.

Snapped!
Grandma then placed the teacup she was holding on the table.

Wow!
Suddenly, everything returned to calm!
It's not just here that peace has been restored.

Right where the martial arts arena was located, Yu Taohua, whose sword aura was originally sharp, looked at Liu Qingru, the eldest daughter of the Liu family, and raised her long sword high, the tip of the sword trailing sword aura.

But it was also in that instant!

Yu Taohua's expression froze for a moment, and then her sword energy suddenly burst out!

The long sword fell down in front of Liu Qingru.

Liu Qingru, bearing a sword wound, frowned slightly upon seeing the attack before glancing outside the arena. Yu Taohua, meanwhile, pursed her lips, looked around, and then turned to the presiding master: "What do you mean, this works?"

The old master laughed and said, "It has to work even if it doesn't work."

Having said that, he announced loudly, "Yu Taohua wins!"

Liu Qingru gripped the longsword in her hand and looked at Yu Taohua: "I lost."

Yu Taohua chuckled, but looked at Liu Qingru somewhat nervously: "My goodness, Sister Liu, that guy won't come and beat me up, will he? Can you put in a good word for me? Or how about you stab me a few times to vent your anger?"

Liu Qingru ignored it and simply turned and left the arena.

Right below the arena, Yang Huayan grabbed Kuyue's head with both hands, her cheeks puffed out, her face full of jealousy: "Why did Sister Yunxian fight for her! But not for me!"

Kuyue grabbed Yang Huayan's hand: "It hurts! You old hag, you coward! Let go! It hurts!"

The people performing the martial arts were surprised.

But Su Chang'an looked at his great-grandmother and fell silent. After a long while, he said, "Grandma, I'm afraid of pain, let's..."

Before Su Chang'an could finish speaking, an acquaintance arrived.

Lian Qiao, dressed in the official robes of the Dali Temple, arrived in front of Su Chang'an and his grandmother with two subordinates. She clasped her hands in a fist and bowed, saying, "Gentlemen, you were the ones who hit someone and started a fight over there, right? Please come with me."

Su Chang'an looked at Lian Qiao. Was this kid's idiot acting up again? Didn't he notice that those people had been carried away? It was obvious that they were no ordinary people, and they even came to his door, especially with this old ancestor present.

I've been around for almost half a year, nearly a year, and I still haven't learned a thing about social skills and I'm still so clueless.

Before Su Chang'an could speak, the great-grandmother chuckled: "To the Dali Temple?"

Lian Qiao nodded: "I know that you two must be of extraordinary status, but you two have violated the rules of the capital. Anyone who disrupts the order or breaks the rules must come to this place to explain the matter and be punished accordingly. There is no room for discussion. If you think that I am looking down on you or showing off my power because I am wearing an official uniform, then so be it. But since I am wearing this official uniform, there are some things I must do. Even if the King of Heaven himself came, he would have to come with me today."

That's a very frank statement.

The two newly appointed Dali Temple officials who were following Lian Qiao looked at her with admiration.

Su Chang'an looked at this brat and felt utterly helpless. Anyone with a brain would know that you shouldn't have come, but you still went ahead with such a righteous air.

When people around saw the officials arresting people, they naturally stopped and took a few more glances.

Grandma looked at Lianqiao and smiled gently.

But he didn't say anything.

A man suddenly appeared and grabbed Lian Qiao's shoulder.

Both of the deputy commanders of the Radiant Dragon Guard are very close to reaching their peak. One of them has been in seclusion for several months, and according to Yan Yunxiao, he is likely to succeed.

The other person was this man, Zhao Duan.

This is the person who secretly follows Su Chang'an when he goes out.

Lian Qiao naturally recognized Zhao Duan, after all, Zhao Duan was also a ninth-rank swordsman.

But Lianqiao hadn't even had a chance to speak yet.

Zhao Duan smiled and pulled Lian Qiao away to the side. His face was all smiles, but his eyes were full of lingering fear.

My dear son, it's one thing for you to be a bit dim-witted on a normal day, but how did you manage to get on the bad side of these two today?

Seeing this, the great-grandmother glanced at Su Chang'an.

Su Chang'an was wearing a mask so his face couldn't be seen, but his eyes showed helplessness. "Shall we go check out the martial arts training area?"

Grandma didn't say anything, but stood up and left.

Seeing that the two were about to leave, Lian Qiao immediately spoke up: "You... um!"

Zhao Duan immediately covered Lian Qiao's mouth.

When the two officers from the Dali Temple saw this, they were about to reprimand them, but suddenly two other people appeared and covered their heads.

Zhao Duan didn't dare to turn around and look at the two of them, so he just stole glances.

Once the two had walked away, Zhao Duan breathed a sigh of relief and let go of their hands. He immediately cursed, "You brat, it's one thing to be clueless all the time, but who are you to meddle in this?!"

Lian Qiao frowned and turned to look for Su Chang'an and her great-grandmother, but they were nowhere to be found. She immediately looked at Zhao Duan and said, "Brother Zhao, what are you doing? Those two were beating people in the street, so of course I had to do something about it. According to the rules of the court, even if the Emperor himself came to the street, he would still have to be taken back to the government office if he caused trouble."

Zhao Duan immediately yelled, "Shut up!"

Forsythia was unhappy.

Before he could even speak, Zhao Duan immediately said, "Even if the Heavenly King himself came, we still have to go to the government office. What about the Heavenly King's ancestors?!"

Lian Qiao didn't understand at first, but after frowning, she said, "We still have to go to the government office. They beat people up."

Not to mention Zhao Duan, even the Huanglong Guards standing to the side were speechless looking at this young man who clearly had extremely high talent in swordsmanship but was just plain dim-witted!

Zhao Duan lowered his voice: "That's the ancestor of swordsmanship!"

Just as Lian Qiao was about to speak, she suddenly froze, blinking as she looked at Zhao Duan.

Zhao Duan immediately cursed, "You idiot! I'll have to talk to your sister and tell her to deal with you. You almost got into big trouble!"

Lianqiao is just a bit dim-witted, not stupid.

He immediately knew who it was, and his face contorted in a grimace as he looked at his two subordinates who had only been with him for two days: "What do we do?"

……

The training ground is located there.

Su Zhaoxin noticed the unusual expressions on many people's faces and turned to the old blind man beside him: "Master, what was that commotion just now? Why are all these seniors acting like that?"

……

P.S.: The weather is getting colder, everyone please take care of yourselves!
