Li Yi chuckled and said," How is it? Are these people enough?"
Hong Qigong was stunned for a moment." T-These people are all substitutes? Where did you find these people who look exactly like them?”
Li Yi said," You don't have to worry about that. We just need to secretly kill the real emperor and those high-ranking officials and replace them. Then, in reality, Great Song will be in my hands. The rest can be done according to my wishes."”
Hong Qigong walked around everyone and observed them carefully for a long time. He stroked his beard and pondered for a while before praising," You're really scary. I think you've already planned this out, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have found these identical substitutes in advance. Carefree, do you have confidence in these people?”
Li Yi chuckled and said," Of course, I never do things that I'm not confident in.”
Hong Qigong nodded and said," Alright, I don't care about this anyway. You can make your own decision.”He looked at the dishes on the table again and lamented that it was a pity that they were ruined. Li Yi and Huang Rong rolled their eyes as they stood at the side.
In fact, these substitutes of the emperor and the others were all Red Alert spies that had been created in the past. At first, Li Yi was just experimenting. After all, these were only people with the Demonform Gene created by the Red Alert base, not those technological weapons. The mission restricted him from using technological weapons that were a hundred years older than the current era, but it did not say that he could not use these people. Therefore, when he seized power in Xixia, he had released a spy to experiment. He did not expect that he could really use them.
Of course, Li Yi would not let go of such a good opportunity. Hence, he immediately released the hundreds of spies he had created in the past. A portion of them followed him back to Great Song, while the rest were scattered. As for what they were going to do, was there even a need to think about it? Of course, he was looking for an opportunity to see if he could replace the generals and leaders of the other enemy countries. That would also make his unification process faster.
Under Huang Rong's urging, Hong Qigong held a plate and held a Beggar's Sect meeting. Huang Rong first used the Soul Assimilating Technique of the Nine Yin Scripture to make Elder Peng tell how he colluded with Wanyan Hong Lie of the Jin Kingdom. Then, he was torn to pieces under the anger of all the Beggar's Sect. Then, Hong Qigong introduced Huang Rong and told everyone that she was the 19th Sect Master of Beggar's Sect. He even started the succession ceremony.
With Hong Qigong's leadership and the absence of Yang Kang's interference, Huang Rong successfully obtained the position of Beggar's Sect Leader. No one dared to question her. It was much more convenient after that. According to Li Yi's plan, the lower-level officials could be left alone for now. First, they had to cooperate with the spies and replace the high officials and the emperor. With Beggar's Sect's all-pervasive and special channels, the first to be replaced was Song Ningzong, Zhao Kuo, who was the least likely to be replaced so quickly.
Li Yi did not expect Beggar's Sect to have a secret passage that allowed him to enter the palace safely. Speaking of which, he had to thank the foodie Hong Qigong. This was the path he used to steal food from the royal kitchen. This time, he had no choice but to contribute. Fortunately, with Huang Rong, who was also a master chef, there was a place for him to eat delicious food.
It was much easier after that. Those spies were replaced by Ning Zong and Zhao Kuo.）He was recruited into the palace. Then, he called the ministers into the study room one by one, killed them, and replaced them. In just a few days, they had completely replaced all the high-ranking officials of the Southern Song Dynasty. As for the local officials below, it was even easier to deal with. No matter who it was, an imperial edict could settle it. Of course, they couldn't act so quickly. After all, there was no reserve to take their place.
The internal structure of the Great Song was slowly changing. First, two new departments had appeared in the imperial court, the Profound Language Pavilion and the Institute of Martial Research. The Profound Language Pavilion was a college that trained civil servants. As for the Institute of Martial Research, it was more complicated. It included a college that trained military officers and a secret organization that researched new weapons. He even secretly dispatched his subordinates from Xixia to gradually take over the Great Song army. Old or corrupt soldiers and officers were either retired or killed, and then re-recruited to supplement the new source of soldiers for training. However, all of this was carried out in secret, and the outside world could not find out.
To be honest, if there weren't so many parasites in Great Song, this wouldn't have happened. All the news in the country was no secret to the Jin Kingdom, Mongolia, and so on. As long as they could afford it, those corrupt officials could even give their wives to them to play with, let alone the information of the Great Song. To be honest, although soldiers killed countless people, they were not the most ruthless people. The most ruthless people should be those scholars who killed without bloodshed.
They could use all kinds of schemes to make you fall into their trap without you knowing it. Regardless of whether you have military power or not, isn't that eternal hero Yue Fei proof? Qin Hui was just a weak scholar, but he could use a conspiracy to kill him, the invincible commander. How sad was that?
After replacing those corrupt officials, the 'corrupt officials' donated all their family assets. If one didn't look, one wouldn't know that each of these corrupt officials had several secret places where they hid their gold and silver, and their property was countless. Some people even had more money than the Great Song's treasury. It was truly unimaginable. After seeing this scene, if Hong Qigong had not wanted to save his teeth to eat Rong 'er's good dishes, he would have been so angry that he would have bitten off all his teeth.
On Li Yi's side, he walked into the Iron Palm Sect of Iron Palm Peak openly and met the leader of the Iron Palm Sect, Qiu Qianren. The previous leader of the Iron Palm Gang, Shangguan Jiannan, was a general under Han Shizhong. After Qin Hui came to power, Yue Fei was killed, Han Shizhong was removed from military power, dismissed from office and lived idle. Most of his soldiers had also retired. Shangguan Jiannan was resentful of the treacherous officials who were in power. He led a group of brothers to the Jingxiang area and later joined the Iron Palm Gang.
Not long after, the old Sect Master passed away and he took over the position of Sect Master. The Iron Palm Gang was originally just a small gang. After his efforts to rectify it and do more chivalrous things, heroes and loyal people from the two lakes came back after hearing the news. In just a few years, their reputation rose greatly. The name of the gang leader, Iron Palm Drifting on Water, shocked the Jianghu. In the Jianghu, they became the largest gang in Jiangnan that was on par with Beggar's Sect in the north.
Before Shangguan Jiannan died, he passed the position of the Iron Palm Gang's leader to Qiu Qianren. Not only was Qiu Qianren's martial arts amazing, but he was also very talented. In a few years, he had reorganized a gang that had been severely damaged and made it prosperous. Ever since the battle of "Iron Palm Annihilation of Hengshan Mountain" had defeated the Hengshan Sect, the Iron Palm Gang had shocked the entire Jianghu. Although his Iron Palm was not as powerful as the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, his palm technique was exquisite and ingenious. It was still above the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.
When Li Yi saw the famous Qiu Qianren in the game, he had to observe him carefully. After all, he still had Qiu Qianzhang who looked exactly like him. That brother of his loved to pretend to be him and go around scamming people. Li Yi did not want to fall for that trick. Fortunately, this was the real him. Although he was indeed worthy of being a hero when he was young, but unfortunately, when he was old, he actually relied on Wanyan Hong Lie. The current Iron Palm Gang had already changed. They had completely forgotten Shangguan Jiannan's original intention and last wish of developing a gang to expel the Tartars.
Qiu Qianren sat on the main seat and looked at this young man with a trace of curiosity in his eyes. He thought to himself,'What an imposing manner, what an elegant demeanor.'His expression became less arrogant. Instead, he put on the attitude of a martial arts senior and asked," Who are you? Why are you looking for me?"
Li Yi smiled and said," I'm Li Yi, also known as Carefree. As for why I'm looking for you, hehe, I wonder if Senior still remembers the last instruction of the Iron Palm Gang's previous leader, Shangguan Jiannan?”
Qiu Qianren's pupils shrank, and his eyes revealed a look of recollection. His expression changed, and after a while, he suddenly stood up and shouted," So what? Now that I'm the leader of the Iron Palm Gang, what does my plan have to do with you? Who exactly are you? Why are you meddling in my Iron Palm Gang's business?”
Li Yi shook his head helplessly and said," Looks like I don't have to persuade you anymore. Hehe, I can't believe that a hero like Shangguan Jiannan actually made a mistake in his judgment and allowed a traitor like you to become the leader of the Iron Palm Gang." Since that's the case, then I'll take Shangguan Jiannan's place to punish you, this unfilial disciple.”
Qiu Qianren's Iron Palm was indeed powerful, but that was only in terms of technique. If he were to clash with Li Yi in terms of palm strength, he might not lose by much. However, Li Yi did not give him a chance at all. Instead, he used the Carefree Footwork that was now a combination of Carefree Sect's Wave Subtle Steps and the Nine Spiral Shadows. His speed was extremely fast. In Qiu Qianren's eyes, he could only see a black shadow. He couldn't even see his exact location.
Qiu Qianren, whose acupuncture point had been struck, had a pleading look in his eyes. Li Yi did not care about this. After all, he was a guy who would do anything to achieve his goals. Thinking back, in order to obtain the title of the world's number one, he sneaked into the Dali Imperial Palace and beat the illegitimate son of Liu Guifei's aunt until he was on the verge of death. It was just to make the South Emperor Duan Zhixing at that time consume a lot of internal energy to save people, so that he could not be his enemy in the second Huashan Sword Discussion.
Although Li Yi cultivated Nine Yin and Nine Yang, he could not mix other types of internal strength, nor could he cause an imbalance between Yin and Yang. However, he had also practiced the Minor Non-Phase Method, which could refine other kinds of internal strength and freely change the attributes of the internal strength. Therefore, apart from not being able to cultivate martial arts of other attributes alone, he still had the ability to absorb other people's internal energy and transform it. He stretched out his hand and used the Northern Dark Divine Art to drain all of Qiu Qianren's inner energy. Then, he killed him with a palm strike. Then, he entered the secret cave behind the Iron Palm Peak.
After refining it, his internal strength increased once again. He then carefully searched the cave and found the painting that contained Wu Mu's will and many gold and silver weapons. Now that the matter was settled, of course, they had to leave this place. He didn't need to care about the Iron Palm Gang anymore. After losing Qiu Qianren, the Iron Palm Gang would become a pile of loose sand and no longer pose a threat to him.
After handing Wu Mu's Will to Huang Rong, Li Yi set off again. He suddenly felt that he was at a disadvantage without a weapon and only relying on his fists. Thinking about it, it made sense. On the battlefield, no matter how powerful one's martial arts were, they would not be able to withstand the attacks of thousands of people. One punch could kill a person, but what about after ten thousand punches? Do you still have the strength to kill? If you had a weapon in your hand, it would be different. You could kill a group with a single sword attack, which was much more refreshing than using your fists.
How could there be good weapons in this era? Back when he was in the Vulture Palace, he had browsed through it. The Vulture Palace did indeed have many good items, but after comparing them, Li Yi still felt that the Darksteel Sword was the most powerful. That's right, the place Li Yi was going to this time was the valley where Dugu Qiubai's Legacy was located. According to the description in the Legend of the Condor Heroes, Dugu Qiubai might still be alive at this time. Li Yi felt that it would be beneficial for his martial arts skills to have a duel with him. He also went after the swords that he had collected. He hadn't seen the Azure Light Sword, Violet Myrtle Flexible Sword, and Mysterious-Iron Heavy Sword described in the [Divine Condor]. These three swords were all peerless swords of this era. How could he not get his hands on them?
According to the description in the " Divine Condor ", Dugu Sword Valley should be in the northwest direction of Xiangyang City. After flying all the way, they finally found the legendary Qu Pu Si Snake outside a mountain forest. She had a bump on her head and her body was also golden and dazzling. Since he had discovered it, how could he miss it? After killing some of them, he collected some of them and placed them in his living space to tame them. From afar, they could hear the sounds of eagles and people playing the zither in the valley.
Li Yi stepped into the valley. Both sides of the valley were bare and filled with rocks. When he reached the front, he saw a huge empty field. At the end of the field, there was a stone cave. On one side of the cave, there was a stone table and a few stone stools. They looked like they were naturally formed, without a trace of carving. He saw an old man with his eyes closed, plucking the strings of a zither. Beside the old man sat a large eagle that was as tall as a person. It seemed to be very happy. It flapped its wings a few times and jumped excitedly. There was no need to think, other than Dugu Qiubai, who else could it be?
Dugu Qiubai opened his eyes and a divine light shone from them. He looked Li Yi up and down and smiled." Little friend, your martial arts are not bad. Are you willing to have a match with me?"”
Li Yi smiled and said," Of course, I have the same intention.”
Dugu Qiubai laughed loudly and said,"Good, hahaha…!"”He stood up and stood face to face with Li Yi. With his left hand behind his back, he stretched out his right hand and a stone flew into his hand, shattering into powder in an instant. The stone powder did not dissipate in the wind, but it condensed into the shape of a sword and was held in his hand.
When Li Yi saw this, he was shocked and secretly praised," As expected of Sword Demon Dugu Qiubai. This sword without a sword is really amazing."'
Dugu Qiubai said," Little friend, you attack first. Don't hold back.”
Li Yi said," Senior, let's make this clear first. We'll stop with one move." In addition, my martial arts are very lethal. Senior, please be careful.”
Dugu Qiubai said impatiently," You just need to attack. There's no need for so much nonsense."”
Li Yi chuckled and retracted his right hand, striking Dugu Qiubai. This time, it was no longer silent. Instead, it was a whip formed by two dragons formed by black and white true qi. It was the Yin-Yang Double Dragon Whip that Li Yi had created by combining Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and White Bone Whip together with his Yin-Yang True Qi. Not to mention the speed, the dragon head is rushing towards the opponent, but the dragon tail is always in Xiang Shaolong's hand. It can be used as a whip, or it can instantly release the dragon tail to attack the enemy. The power is very shocking, the only drawback is that it consumes a lot of internal strength.
Dugu Qiubai let out an 'eh' sound and swung his stone sword to release a sword qi, clashing with the Yin Yang Double Dragon Whip. He immediately felt that the other party's move was extremely powerful and immediately used the Qi Breaking Style, wanting to break this extremely powerful attack.‘Yin Yang Double Dragon Whip collided with the stone sword. Dugu Qiubai, who initially wanted to break this move, had now turned into a competition of qi with Li Yi. Li Yi suddenly stopped channeling his internal strength for a while, causing Dugu Qiubai to be unable to get used to the feeling of suddenly hitting empty air. He immediately increased the output of his internal strength. Dugu Qiubai felt that something was wrong and immediately moved to the side. From afar, the sound of rocks exploding could be heard.
After one move, both sides stopped. Dugu Qiubai stood where he was and thought for a long time with a frown." Hmm, your martial arts are very strange. It seems to be similar to the Beggar's Sect's Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, but it also seems to be similar to the whip technique. Your internal energy is also very strange. Why have I never seen such a strange martial arts before?"”
Li Yi smiled and said," Senior, you're really amazing. You can tell the origin and ability of my martial arts at a glance. That's right, it has never appeared in the game before. I created this set of martial arts by combining several martial arts."”
Dugu Qiubai looked at him in surprise and said," Oh? That's right, when I saw you, I knew that you had already entered the Upper Sky Realm. If you weren't a peerless genius, you definitely wouldn't have such achievements at your age. I'm very interested in your martial arts. Can you tell me about it?”
Li Yi nodded and said," Senior, if you're willing to listen, I'll tell you myself. "Thus, I collected many martial arts in this world. Then, I combined my own martial arts routines and absorbed the strengths of others to create many martial arts moves. For example, this Yin Yang Double Dragon Whip."
Dugu Qiubai stroked his beard and said,"Is that so?" Hmm, not bad. So little friend, you came to my Lone Sword Valley this time to ask for my Lone Nine Swords?”
