A few days later, Qin Shao Yu made contact with Jiang Yinlong and sent the antidote in with the food.
At the same time, Shen Qian Feng and the others secretly contacted the government and the rest of the Jianghu people to prepare for the battle.
The day before the war, Shen Qian Ling sat in the courtyard with the little phoenix in his arms, staring at the moon.
“Chirp!” The fur ball opened its wings to scratch.
Shen Qian Ling rubbed its head, a little depressed.
“Still not sleeping?” Shen Qian Feng sat beside him.
“Big brother.” Shen Qian Ling put the little phoenix on the ground, “How is Brother Ye doing?”
“He just fell asleep after taking his medicine.” Shen Qian Feng said, “Are you worried about Shao Yu?”
“I’m worried about everyone.” Shen Qian Ling sighed, “Feng Jiuyi is full of tricks, I am afraid that something will go wrong again.”
“Don’t worry.” Shen Qian Feng patted him, “If we hadn’t been so well prepared, we wouldn’t have acted rashly.”
“Yes.” Shen Qian Ling smiled, “Go to bed now, you have to get up early tomorrow.”
“You should also get some rest.” Shen Qian Feng took him by the shoulders and pushed him into the house, “Wait for our good news.”
Shen Qian Ling nodded, and the fur ball twisted and turned to follow him into the door, lazily flopping back into his nest and yawning with his mouth open.
The night sky was blue with stars twinkling, and everything was quiet and beautiful.
On the evening of the next day, Qin Shao Yu handed Zhang Dafu a dagger.
“Me?” Zhang Dafu was shocked, “I don’t know martial arts!”
“I’m not asking you to fight.” Qin Shao Yu said, “When the fight starts, you can continue to play the fool, but I am afraid that in case there are devilish people who have gone mad, no one will be able to protect you then.”
Zhang Dafu took the dagger, his hand trembling a little.
“Don’t be afraid.” Qin Shao Yu patted his shoulder, “Thanks for your help this time, all of Jianghu owes you a favour.”
Zhang Dafu was instantly flattered.
What a big hat!
“Why don’t you continue to disguise yourself as Zhou Dahu?” Seeing that Qin Shao Yu wanted to change his clothes, Zhenren frowned and said, “There is still some distance from here to the water prison, so if you are discovered halfway, you can think of a way to fool them.”
“No need.” Qin Shao Yu put on his night clothes, “I will change back into my clothes so that no one will suspect this compound later; but if they know that I am pretending to be Zhou Dahu, they will definitely think that the rest of the people here are also in trouble, and then the consequences will be unthinkable.”
“When will Master Qin and the old man leave?” Zhang Dafu asked.
“Wait.” Qin Shao Yu replied with one word.
“Wait?” Zhang Dafu did not understand.
Qin Shao Yu nodded and poured himself a cup of hot tea, the corners of his mouth curved up.
Zhang Dafu was a bit apprehensive, but when he saw his smile, he was somehow relieved, feeling as if …… would definitely win!
You don’t even need to make a speech, you don’t even need to say anything, you just need a look to reassure the people around you, that you’re really the one that Shen Gongzi would leave behind a thousand years of cultivation to come down to earth with tears in his eyes! He is really very, very dominant!
Zhang Dafu felt very emotional!!
Inside the water prison, the guards put the food on the stakes, as usual, scolded the people to eat quickly, and then locked the door and waited outside.
After he had left, the people in the cell looked at each other and, without making a sound, they secretly made an effort to break free of the iron shackles on their bodies – after the compulsion had been removed. Qin Shao Yu brought some more hot medicine, which was not enough to completely expel the cold Qi that had infiltrated their bodies, but their power was restored to 60% or 70%, so they could deal with a few jailers without any problem.
“Have you finished?” A few moments later, the jailer entered, picking his teeth.
“Come here!” Jiang Yinlong raised his eyes to look at him.
“Me?” The jailer mocked, “What’s the point of calling your grandfather here?”
Jiang Yinlong’s eyes were red with rage.
“Even if I come here, what can you do to me?” The jailer strolled past, “Do you really think you’re still the master of the fortress? Damn you, loser…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Jiang Jiao Long had already dragged him into the water, twisting his hands together, and the prisoner instantly passed out.
“Hurry up… ah!” Another man saw that his companion had not returned for a long time, so he pushed the door impatiently and urged him on. He turned to run but was slapped on the back of the neck and fell to the ground without a word.
At the end of the corridor, several members of the Demon Cult were drinking and chatting when one of them suddenly stood up with a pale face, terrified.
“Seeing a ghost?” The rest of the group were confused and followed his line of sight, and were instantly scared out of their wits – all the people who were supposed to be in the water cell had come out and were walking this way with fierce looks on their faces.
“Somebody!” The devil’s people shouted, almost crawling out of the cell, “The prisoners have escaped, go and tell the master!”
The cell was empty for a moment, and the White Sect members grabbed the whips and swords from the wall and roared out to kill them.
Having been imprisoned and humiliated for so long, there was only one thought left in everyone’s mind.
Kill Feng Jiuyi with our own hands.
“Godfather!” When the people outside the water prison heard the news, they all fled and shouted, “Go and find the sect master and Granny Jin Shi!”
From a large tree outside Qianwu Water Fortress, Shen Qian Feng watched from afar as the crowd in the fortress began to chaos, and knew that the first step of his plan had been achieved. So he released a dozen signal bombs into the sky and leapt onto his horse, “Follow me!”
The crowd followed, all at once with shouting, and the horses’ hooves raised a mist of dust, staining the sky and earth with chaos.
“They’ve escaped?” When he first heard the news, Feng Jiuyi mocked and looked at Granny Jin Shi, “It seems that your compulsion is not so bad.”
“What’s the use of talking nonsense at this time!” Although she didn’t think there was a problem with her medicine, it was a fact that the culprit had escaped, so Granny Jin Shi could only say in anger, “Isn’t the most important thing to do to solve the problem!”
“May I go down and open the cage where the holy birds are kept?” The disciple said cautiously.
“I will go myself.” Granny Jin Shi leaned on her crutches and headed for the backyard.
Feng Jiuyi smiled disdainfully and slowly poured himself another cup of tea before getting up and walking towards the door – previously when a dozen sects had joined together, he might have been apprehensive, but this was a different time, and now that the Soul Extinguishing Palm had been refined, it was time to find a chance to give it a try.
In the open space outside the water prison, the White Daoists were fighting the Demon Cultists, and the evening sun was staining everyone’s pupils with the colour of blood.
“It seems I have underestimated you all.” Feng Jiuyi stood on the roof of the house with his clothes flying, smiling coldly.
“Feng Jiuyi!” Jiang Yinlong carried his sword in one hand, his face covered in blood, and his eyes filled with hatred.
“Do you blame me for killing your concubine?” Feng Jiuye raised an eyebrow, “It doesn’t matter, you can go down and keep her company right now.”
Jiang Yinlong shouted angrily and swung his sword at him. Feng Jiuyi swept backwards and gathered Chaos’ internal energy in his palm, and shot Jiang Yinlong in the chest like a sharp arrow.
“Erdi!” Jiang Jiao Long rushed forward to push him away, but someone else was quicker than him.
A black figure landed steadily on the ground, a three-foot sword in his hand glowing with a cold light.
“Master Qin!” The White Daoists immediately gathered around him.
Qin Shao Yu looked coldly at Feng Jiuyi.
“You’re not dead?” Feng Jiuyi raised his eyebrows, “What a surprise.”
“After I kill you, I still have to be with Ling-er for a long time, so how can I be willing to die?” Qin Shao Yu said indifferently, “But you are alone and have no relatives or friends, so if you die, you won’t be afraid that someone will be sad, and maybe someone will even celebrate with a cannon.”
“Whatever you say, I won’t care.” Feng Jiuyi slowly rolled up his sleeves, “When a person is about to die, you should be allowed to say a few more words. You didn’t die on the cliff that day, so I’ll let you die again today.”
There was an eerie cry from the sky, and hundreds of birds of prey flew over in black pressure, seemingly even bigger than before after days of careful feeding.
“If you admit defeat now, you can still have a whole body.” Feng Jiuyi mocked.
Qin Shao Yu took out a jade whistle from his pocket and blew out a sound in his mouth.
Feng Jiuyi almost laughed out loud, “Do you think you can control the sacred bird with this thing alone?”
“Even if you change the name to something nice, it’s still a dirty thing.” Qin Shao Yu put away the jade whistle, “Do you know why this kind of jade is called Wutong jade?”
Feng Jiuyi frowned at his words, and before he could say anything, a long, clear cry came from the sky.
The corner of Qin Shao Yu’s mouth curved, “Because it can attract phoenixes.”
Hundreds of golden phoenixes rose into the sky with the setting sun, their huge feathered wings waving, dwarfing even the evening sun.
The birds were not afraid because they had been poisoned by the compulsion and continued to fly toward Qin Shao Yu and the White Daoists. However, Granny Jin Shi was so shocked that her scream almost changed, “Quickly, go back!”
Cicada was riding on the first bird of death and tried her best to make it turn back, but to no avail – under the effect of the compulsion, these birds had already become puppets to kill people, unaware of pain and death. It was for this reason that the White Daoists were defeated that day. But what was good at the beginning was also the downside today, as hundreds of phoenixes came with a golden haze like a tidal wave. Two sharp claws pierced deep into the body of the bird of death, tearing it in half in a matter of moments.
There was a rain of blood and screams, and the sky and earth were instantly filled with a red mist that made people sick at the smell.
“Master!” Someone shouted from afar, “Someone is coming in with troops! We can’t stop them!”
Knowing that things were not as simple as he had expected, Feng Jiuyi turned around and fled.
Qin Shao Yu leapt after him, and the two phoenixes waved their wings, just following him.
“Chirp!” The fur ball crouched on his brother’s back, the wind blowing his fur around, his claws and paws gripping very firmly, and his eyes very brave!
He looks like Shen Gongzi’s son!
Because it’s all particularly cool and dazzling!
It was dark when Qin Shao Yu blocked Feng Jiuyi in a corner.
The big red lanterns on both sides were swaying in the wind, looking a bit odd.
“No more running?” Qin Shao Yu sneered.
“I didn’t expect you to be so impulsive.” Feng Jiuyi’s tone lifted and the smile in his eyes was strange, “Do you really think I can’t beat you without the help of the others?”
“Who said no one would help me?” Qin Shao Yu asked in return.
“Chirp!” The fur ball also kicked its paws solemnly!
“With just these two phoenixes and a duck?” Feng Jiuyi almost laughed out loud.
Furball was feeling very good about himself, completely unaware that he had been relegated to the food level!
“Add me again.” Shen Qian Feng jumped off the roof and stood beside Qin Shao Yu.
“Chirp!” The fur ball coolly flung its head but ended up not controlling its strength properly and directly flung itself off.
Shen Qian Feng: ……
Qin Shao Yu calmly picked up his son and tucked him into his arms.
He was so stupid, he didn’t know if he could still be saved.
