Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 268 Reborn
Huang Sixi knew that Qiao Feng and Xiao Yuanshan had been working together to track down Murong Bo's whereabouts.

If Qiao Feng was captured by the Western Xia, Xiao Yuanshan would probably not be spared either.

Huang Sixi went to Zhao Qiansun to ask, "Qiao Feng's biological father Xiao Yuanshan is not dead. Mr. Zhao, do you know Xiao Yuanshan's situation?"

Zhao Qiansun went to Xiaojing Lake at the beginning because he was commissioned by the abbot of Shaolin Xuanci to track down Murong Bo's whereabouts for Xiao Yuanshan and his son.

As a survivor of the Battle of Yanmen Pass, Zhao Qiansun is still worried about being retaliated by Xiao Yuanshan and his son, so he pays special attention to the situation of the father and son.

"Xiao Yuanshan surrendered to the evil Xixia bandits and was sent to the Liao Kingdom. He was ordered to capture the Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji!"

Zhao Qiansun had no sympathy for the situation of Xiao Yuanshan and his son. Instead, he hoped that both of them would die at the hands of the evil Western Xia bandits. Unfortunately, this did not happen as he wished.

In order to quickly conquer the world, the evil bandits of Western Xia adopted the strategy of driving away the wolf and swallowing the tiger. Xiao Yuanshan and his son both had superb martial arts, which made them perfect for being used by the evil bandits of Western Xia.

Huang Sixi was incredulous: "Xiao Yuanshan and Qiao Feng are both strong-willed people who would rather die than live in disgrace. It is easy for the Xixia people to kill them, but it is extremely difficult to force them to counterattack the Liao motherland! Mr. Zhao, is your information accurate?"

"It's absolutely true!" Zhao Qiansun said confidently:

"Master Huang, we got this information from the Beggars' Sect's law enforcement elder Bai Shijing! When the Xixia bandits broke into the Beggars' Sect's Luoyang headquarters, Bai Shijing was captured along with the other elders. Later, Qiao Feng and Xiao Yuanshan tried to rescue them, but they were not as skilled as them, and both father and son became prisoners of the Xixia bandits. They were summoned by the Xixia Queen Mother and the Emperor!"

Zhao Qiansun poked Mr. Tan beside him with his arm and said, "Old Tan, when we met Bai Shijing in Xinyang City that day, he personally told us how Xiao Yuanshan surrendered. You come and tell Mr. Huang about it!"

He was worried that his story alone would not be convincing, so he asked Mr. Tan to take over.

Mr. Tan sighed deeply, first expressing his sorrow for the miserable experiences of his fellow martial artists, and then he said, "Originally, the Queen Mother and the Emperor of Xixia threatened Xiao Yuanshan with Qiao Feng's life, and asked Xiao Yuanshan to lead a group of experts to sneak into the Liao territory and capture Yelu Hongji and the Liao royal family. In the end, Xiao Yuanshan sternly refused!"

When Tan Po heard this, she was also interested and asked, "Since the Khitan old ghost was so stubborn and refused to surrender to Xixia, why did he eventually serve Xixia?"

Mr. Tan and Zhao Qiansun looked at each other, and fear was revealed in their eyes.

Tan Gongdao said: "The reason why the Xixia villains were able to break through the Shaolin Temple and the Beggars' Sect was all thanks to their imperial concubine Li Qiushui. Li Qiushui's martial arts skills were so extraordinary that she captured Xiao Yuanshan and Qiao Feng with just one move! When the Xixia emperor failed to persuade Xiao Yuanshan to surrender, she told him a story from the past!"

Zhao Qiansun continued the conversation like a double act: "What is Li Qiushui talking about? It's actually her experience of conquering the Dali Kingdom! A month ago, she single-handedly broke through the Tianlong Temple and subdued Master Ku Rong, the most senior master of the Dali Duan Clan. She asked Master Ku Rong to arrest the Dali Emperor Duan Zhengming and members of the royal family. At first, Master Ku Rong would rather die than surrender!"

Mr. Tan continued, "Seeing that Master Kurong was ready to die, Li Qiushui captured all of Master Kurong's direct descendants and beheaded them all. Then she told Master Kurong, 'Go and ask the Dali Emperor Duan Zhengming to surrender to Daxia, and then the Duan royal family can save their lives. If you don't go and persuade them to surrender, I will kill all of the Duan family, and then Dali will still belong to Daxia. Life or death, surrender or resistance, it's up to you to decide!'"

Li Qiushui possesses the extraordinary martial power to kill all members of the Duan royal family.

Master Kurong had no choice at all. He personally captured Dali Emperor Duan Zhengming and forced Duan Zhengming to go to Bian Jing and abdicate the Dali throne to the Western Xia Emperor.

After Mr. Tan finished telling this story, he looked at Huang Sixi and sighed again: "Master Huang, Li Qiushui also warned Xiao Yuanshan that if Xiao Yuanshan did not capture Yelu Hongji, then Li Qiushui would personally go to the Liao Dynasty and kill all the Yelu royal family. The reason why Xiao Yuanshan surrendered to the Western Xia was actually to save the lives of the Yelu royal family!"

Zhao Qiansun was even more emotional. He suddenly half-knelt in front of Huang Sixi and clasped his fists, saying, "Master Huang, when Bai Shijing was telling us about the encounter between Xiao Yuanshan and Qiao Feng and his son, he also told us a sentence from Qiao Feng. Qiao Feng said to Bai Shijing in person: 'Only Brother Huang can defeat Li Qiushui. As long as we find Brother Huang, we can turn the tide and take back our Song Dynasty from the evil Xixia bandits!'"

Then, like Zhao Qiansun, Mr. Tan also paid homage to Huang Sixi and said, "Please, Mr. Huang, go to Bianjing and get rid of Li Qiushui, the lawless female devil!"

Wang Yuyan's face flushed when she heard the two people calling her "Li Qiu Shui" one after another. She thought to herself that her grandmother had not only offended all the heroes in the Central Plains martial arts world, but also the royal relatives of Tubo, Dali, Song Dynasty and Liao Dynasty. How would this matter end?

Wang Yuyan felt heartbroken at this moment.

Seeing that Huang Sixi had a blank expression on his face, Granny Tan seemed indifferent to the situation of Xiao Yuanshan and Qiao Feng.

She stepped forward and pulled Zhao Qiansun and Tan Gong up, admonishing them: "The world is in chaos now. How to turn the tide? Hero Huang has his own ideas. We just need to follow Hero Huang's arrangements!"

When Zhao Qiansun and Tan Gong heard this, they immediately reacted and nodded in unison: "Yes! Yes! From now on, we will only follow the orders of Mr. Huang!"

Huang Sixi's expression softened when he saw what Mr. and Mrs. Tan and Zhao Qiansun said. He asked Zhao Qiansun, "Bai Shijing of the Beggars' Sect was captured by the Western Xia, but he appeared in Xinyang City. Has Bai Shijing surrendered to the Western Xia?"

Zhao Qiansun gave a bitter smile, "Not only Bai Shijing, but also Elder Xu, the most senior elder in the Beggars' Sect, Elder Chuan Gong and the four elders, Master Xuan Nan, the head of the Damo Academy of Shaolin Temple, and Master Xuan Ji, the head of the Longshu Academy, all surrendered to Xixia, and received the imperial order from the Xixia Queen Mother to follow the Xixia warriors to various places in the Central Plains to capture fellow practitioners from various sects!"

This is also like driving away the wolf and swallowing the tiger.

Let the warriors from the Central Plains fight against the warriors from the Central Plains and they will be invincible.

During the conquest of Tubo and Dali, Li Qiushui also used force to suppress the strongest martial arts masters of the two countries, and then let these masters capture other martial artists until he unified the martial arts world.

Having said that, would the martial arts masters of the Song Dynasty, Tubo, and Dali be willing to obey Li Qiu Shui?
Zhao Qiansun and Tan Gong quickly revealed the inside story to Huang Sixi: "Li Qiushui, the Queen Mother of Xixia, has cultivated a vicious magical skill called 'Life and Death Talisman'. Anyone who is infected with the talisman cannot live or die, and must obey Li Qiushui's orders! The elders of the Beggar Gang and the Shaolin monks have all been infected with the Life and Death Talisman. They are forced to join forces with the Xixia warriors to capture our heroes in various places!"

After hearing about the dangers of the "life and death talisman", Granny Tan suddenly became extremely worried and asked Zhao Qiansun and Mr. Tan anxiously: "Have you been hit by the talisman?"

Zhao Qiansun and Tan Gong said together: "Don't worry, when we met Bai Shijing that day, Bai Shijing deliberately avoided the Xixia warriors and secretly told us that we never met the Xixia warriors, so we will naturally not be controlled by the 'Life and Death Talisman'!"

After hearing this, Huang Sixi and Wang Yuyan both understood.

Previously, Granny Tan had said: "Nowadays, all the gangs and factions in the martial arts world are in a state of panic, and the famous masters in the martial arts world are hiding everywhere!"

Zhao Qiansun and Tan Gong said: "Now all the famous heroes in the martial arts world have disappeared, and no one knows where they live!"

Why did all the heroes of the Central Plains hide? They were not only hiding from the Xixia warriors, but also from the Central Plains masters who had been planted with the "life and death talisman"!

As for Murong Fu of the Gusu Murong family, the reason why he sent out the "Shenzhou Juyi" invitation to the hidden heroes of the Central Plains, inviting heroes from all over the world to gather in Bian Jing, was actually to kill the "chief culprit" Li Qiushui.

As long as Li Qiushui is killed, the method to crack the "Life and Death Talisman" can be obtained, and the Central Plains martial arts world can return to its previous peace.

"Mr. Huang, what should we do next?"

Zhao Qiansun, Mr. and Mrs. Tan told the whole story of the current situation in the Central Plains martial arts world, and then all looked at Huang Sixi. Wang Yuyan was also curious about Huang Sixi's plan.

Huang Sixi pondered for a moment, and said to Zhao Qiansun, Mr. and Mrs. Tan, "You continue to live in Bee Valley. When the 'Gathering of Gods' is held in the future, if you want to go to Bianjing to assassinate Li Qiushui, you can bring the bee colony with you to Bianjing!"

Zhao Qiansun, Mr. and Mrs. Tan hurriedly asked, "How about you, Mr. Huang?"

Huang Sixi pointed to the north and said, "I'm going to the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun! Many of my friends are stationed there. Once I get in touch with them, I will also be waiting for the arrival of 'Shenzhou Juyi'. We will meet in Bianjing in the future!"

Zhao Qiansun, Mr. and Mrs. Tan looked at each other and said in unison: "We are willing to follow Mr. Huang to the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun! We also know that it is inconvenient to travel with a swarm of bees. In order not to delay Mr. Huang's journey, please go ahead. As long as you leave us marks along the way, we guarantee that we can catch up! Mr. Huang, on the way north, we will only go through deep mountains and old forests to ensure that our whereabouts will not be leaked!"

Huang Sixi saw that Zhao Qiansun and the other two were determined to follow him, so he summoned the Lightning Marten and said to them, "Let this marten follow you. It will show you where I am walking!"

Huang Sixi agreed to let Zhao, Qian and Sun go north to the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun because Li Qiushui had already moved to Bian Jing and formed thousands of Western Xia warriors.

When Huang Sixi and Li Qiu Shui have a decisive battle in the future, he will need Zhao Qiansun, Tan Gong and Tan Po to bring the bee colonies to tie down the large number of Xixia warriors so that he can free up his hands to deal with Li Qiu Shui.

The discussion ends here.

That afternoon, Huang Sixi rode on a horse and headed north to the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun with Wang Yuyan.

Zhao Qiansun and Mr. and Mrs. Tan followed with the lightning marten and the intoxicating bee.

They knew very well that the Xixia people had already controlled the central government of the Song Dynasty, so they traveled with extreme caution.

Not long after, Huang Sixi arrived at the territory of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and reunited with Yu Po, Fu Minyi and other palace maids from Lingjiu Palace.

Yu Po, Fu Minyi and many other palace maidens from the Nine Heavens and Nine Divisions of Lingjiu Palace were mostly beaten to pieces by Li Qiushui in order to rescue Tong Lao. They were able to keep their bodies safe and sound only after receiving treatment from Huang Sixi.

Even though Tong Lao was not present, they still resolutely followed Huang Sixi's lead.

Huang Sixi summoned them to leave the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and rush to lie in ambush outside the city of Bianjing.

As a result, the rule of the Liao Kingdom and the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun was completely taken over by the Western Xia Kingdom. The Western Xia Queen Mother Li Qiushui ordered Xiao Yuanshan to go to the Liao Kingdom to capture Yelu Hongji, and the operation went extremely smoothly.

The royal family of the Liao Dynasty, like the royal families of the Song Dynasty, Tubo and Dali, rushed to Bianliang in the Central Plains with their families, waiting to abdicate to the Western Xia emperor.

Li Qiushui saw that the royal families of the Song Dynasty, Liao Dynasty, Tubo, and Dali gathered in Bianliang, and the opportunity to unify the world had arrived. He immediately announced to the world and decided to hold a ceremony of abdication.

He merged Daxia, Song Dynasty, Liao Dynasty, Tubo and Dali into one, and abdicated to Daxia to become the supreme ruler of the world.

The place of abdication was chosen at Chenqiaoyi, north of Bianjing.

This Chenqiao Posthouse was the first posthouse in the north of the Song Dynasty’s capital Bianjing, and it was also the place where Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, was crowned.

Li Qiushui and the Xixia royal family chose Chenqiaoyi as the first choice for abdication. Their purpose was obvious, which was to replace the orthodox status of the Song Dynasty Zhao family in the Central Plains.

The time of abdication is also particular, and it is set on the second day of the second month of the following year.

This day is the day when the dragon raises its head.

Naturally, it is also the day when the Central Plains martial arts figures hold the "Shenzhou Gathering".

On the second day of February, the city of Bianjing was decorated with lights and lanterns, and royal families from the Song, Xia, Liao, Tubo, and Dali gathered together.

Martial arts masters from all over the world also flocked to the scene.

Huang Sixi knew that Li Qiu Shui was the instigator of this war. After arriving at Chenqiao Station, he planned to go directly to Li Qiu Shui for a decisive battle.

Unexpectedly, before Huang Sixi could take any action, an old friend came to visit: "Little Ah Si, if you really want to kill Li Qiushui, grandma can lend you a hand!"

"Grandma?"

Huang Sixi was very surprised. He looked forward and saw a young woman walking out from among Yu Po, Fu Minyi and dozens of other Lingjiu palace maids.

This woman looked exactly like the Child-Fairy of Tianshan, but she was no longer a virgin. She seemed to have been reborn, and she was much taller, like a normal person.

Huang Sixi went to Changchun Valley with Tong Lao in October last year. Afterwards, Tong Lao was given Huang Sixi's original secret book "Eternal Spring Kung Fu" and lived in Changchun Valley to practice the magic skill.

Huang Sixi and Wang Yuyan left Changchun Valley and returned to Central Plains to deal with various matters. Four months passed in a flash.

Huang Sixi saw that Tong Lao had a peaceful and calm face, and asked curiously, "Grandma, have you already completed the practice of the Eternal Youth Kung Fu?"

Tong Lao laughed: "This is all thanks to you, little Ah Si! I can regain my youth every thirty years. Originally, I would lose all my power when I regained my youth, but after you, little Ah Si, completed the "Eternal Youth Kung Fu", my rejuvenation has undergone a complete transformation!"

Huang Sixi then asked, "Besides appearance, what other changes are there?"

Tong Lao pinched with one hand, and a ball of white mist gathered in her palm. She suddenly waved her arm, and the white mist instantly condensed into the shape of a sword, which she could manipulate and chop at will:
"It was only after I figured out your method of completing my mental state that I realized that the 'Eternal Spring Technique' can double my internal strength every thirty years, so that when I was thirty, I would have the internal strength of a sixty-year-old, when I was sixty, I would have the internal strength of a hundred and twenty-year-old, and when I was ninety, I would have the internal strength of two hundred and forty-year-old! The Changchun Qi that I am accumulating in my body now is almost as powerful as the three hundred-year-old Beiming Qi!"

Three hundred years of Bei Ming Zhen Qi is already the limit of the internal force that can be absorbed by the "Bei Ming Divine Art", which is the pinnacle of internal strength that can be cultivated by the human body.

Even if Li Qiushui practiced "Northern Divine Art" to the highest level, her internal strength would only be on par with that of Tong Lao.

Huang Sixi immediately asked, "Grandma, has your life span increased?"
