Chapter 693: Chapter 572: The Method of Using the Gelong Knife_1

Li Xuan held the ’Gelong Knife’, looking hesitant and uncertain.

He always felt that the Lord of Qinglong Palace was trying to trick him. Besides, is it appropriate to always castrate others?

His current nickname is the ’Tiger of Jinling’, but pretty soon, it would probably change to "good at castrating".

But this ’Gelong Knife’ did indeed meet his requirements.

Li Xuan pondered for a long time, still torn: "Can I try this knife first before taking it?"

"Trial period?" The Lord of Qinglong Palace Si Shenhua understood Li Xuan’s intentions, then his brow furrowed, and his face sunk: "That’s impossible!"

Li Xuan just shook his head, shoving the knife back into Si Shenhua’s hands: "Then forget it, I don’t want this fake divine treasure. I’ll keep the duplicate of the Book of Jinque for myself."

Lord Shi sighed helplessly: "That’s not fair, how long do you want to try it for? And what if you don’t want it after the trial period? There’s no such business practice."

He realized that Li Xuan was trying to take advantage of the situation to make a profit without spending a dime.

Although Si Shenhua didn’t know the term ’free-riding’, that was the general idea.

"Two months for the trial period. If it doesn’t work out after two months, we’ll discuss further."

Li Xuan folded his arms, looking indifferent and disdainful: "You from the Jinque Palace surely can’t fail to wait for a mere two months, can you? I need to check the quality of this knife, it’s not like whatever you say it is.

Frankly, a fake divine treasure isn’t a big deal to me. You know that I have the ’Huntian Zhenyuan Cauldron’, and the Rule of Extreme Heaven within it is about to form, it’s top-tier ’suppression’, an Extreme Heaven law of the 3rd-rank official, far stronger than your ’Gelong Knife’."

Li Xuan was actually rather interested in this knife.

The purpose of this knife shouldn’t only be to ’castrate’ people.

There are many uses for ’castration’. For example, it could ’castrate’ others’ intentions to fight before the battle begins; when someone is halfway through writing a novel or article, it could ’castrate’ their further plot; or when someone is mid-swordplay during a battle, it could ’castrate’ their subsequent sword moves.

As long as you’re sharp-witted, ’castration’ has many uses.

However, Li Xuan needs to verify these thoughts one by one. He can’t assume that this ’Gelong Knife’ can do all these things.

Si Shenhua was unmoved: "But we in the Jinque Palace, really can’t offer any better fake divine treasures, whether you use it on trial or not, the outcome will be the same."

After hearing this, Li Xuan smiled faintly: "I can swear that during the trial period, I promise not to do anything to the duplicate of the Book of Jinque. For example, disassembling it to study its structure.

Or selling it to the East Sea Dragon Palace or others, in exchange for something that really fits. What do you think, Palace Master?"

The complexion of Lord Shi suddenly turned dark as the bottom of a pot.

He wasn’t really worried about the duplicate of the Book of Jinque falling into the hands of the East Sea Dragon Palace, but he was worried that it would end up with ’Master Zhongliu’ or other nemesis of Heaven Palace.

The power of Jinque Palace can indeed suppress the world, but they also have enemies.

Several big demons left from the previous dynasties have always been a significant worry for them.

"Let’s settle for this." Li Xuan has already comfortably tucked the ’Gelong Knife’ into his sleeve: "Come find me again in two months."

The Lord Si Shenhua hesitated for a long time, and ultimately didn’t say anything to refute.

He could only sigh helplessly:" I can let you try the knife, but in regard to the partnership with Duke Wen Zhonglie and the East Sea Dragon Palace to build the Heavenly Court, Marquis Guanjun must give me an answer."

"Why do you need me for this?" Li Xuan shook his head: "Since you are ready to agree to the conditions I proposed, just go talk to Duchenghuang and the East Sea Dragon Palace."

What Si Shenhua had been waiting for were these words. Before this, he had tried contacting the East Sea and Duchenghuang privately to cause a divide.

However, the feedback was that they should find Li Xuan. Before getting permission from Li Xuan, those two had made up their minds not to have any contact with the Jinque Palace.

"Moreover, there is another matter, which is my personal request to Marquis Guanjun."

Si Shenhua’s expression became strange when he said this: "As far as I know, Marquis Guanjun is planning to kill Dongfang Liang?"

Seeing the confusion in Li Xuan’s eyes, Shenhua quickly explained: "That is, my nephew, the disciple of the former master of The Tianshi Palace, Gong Nianci."

Li Xuan’s eyebrows raised slightly, looking cautiously at Si Shenhua: "Indeed there is such a thing, but what does it have to do with you? As far as I know, isn’t your Jinque Palace also treating this Dongfang Liang as a traitor and is currently pursuing him?"

That day in the Jiangnan Medical Hall, after he saw Dongfang Liang, he immediately set up a net to trap him.

Li Xuan didn’t expect that Dongfang Liang would have a magical instrument that allowed for short-distance teleportation in the Void, which let him escape the siege.

Luckily, Li Xuan now has Six-Eared General ’Liuru’ to help.

Despite the fact that Master Liuru was a female beast, she was far more decisive and brave compared to Tingtian Ao, who was a coward scared of offending anyone.

After hearing Li Xuan’s request for help, Master Liuru didn’t hesitate at all and used her supernatural ability to immediately locate ’Dongfang Liang’, continuously updating Li Xuan on his position.

The trap Li Xuan had laid out was closing in tighter and tighter, the space Dongfang Liang had to evade quickly dwindling.

At most, by nightfall, they would be able to capture this ’White Lotus survivor’.

"He indeed is wanted by my Jinque Palace." Si Shenhua had a serious expression: "But I’ve done thorough research, the reason Tianshi Palace Master attacked you that day is likely due to being misled.

Someone had given her incorrect information, saying that you were tainted with Dragon Qi because of the Xiao Mausoleum incident and may seize the throne after the demise of the Jin Dynasty. But I don’t have any evidence to clear Tianshi Palace Master’s name."

Li Xuan retorted with a sneer: "So you’re trying to convince me to spare his life?"

Even if the Tianshi Palace Master was deceived, so what? That master and his disciple repeatedly targeted him. Even a mud Bodhisattva loses its patience.

If they didn’t kill this person now, wouldn’t they be leaving future troubles?

"How about I owe you a personal favor, Marquis? Please spare his life and let him serve you as atonement."

As Si Shenhua spoke, he took something out and placed it in front of Li Xuan: "This is the ’Forbidden Core Stone’ left behind by the ancient powers. It was used by the ancient Heavenly Court to control sinners. If you don’t trust him, Marquis, you can use this to control his mind until he redeems his sins."

Li Xuan gazed into Si Shenhua’s eyes and said: "So you mean to turn him into my sin slave? I must admit Palace Master, your idea is quite good and it has slightly piqued my interest."

However, he was not interested in using others as his shield--

The Palace Master Si Shenhua responded with a calm expression: "To be honest, both Jinque Palace and Master Zhongliu want him dead. My nephew does not know any concealment techniques and probably won’t survive long even if he hides in Capital City.

Now, only you and Zhonglie Duke Wen can protect his life. As far as I know, even though you are surrounded by professionals, you do not have even one heavenly level subordinate working directly for you, right?"

My nephew is extremely talented, especially in the swordsmanship, which is rare in the past three hundred years. He only took thirty-four years to reach the heavenly level. If it were not for the rules of the Heaven Palace, he might already be at the middle heaven level. His fighting power is formidable and definitely surpasses Li Zhetian."

He hesitated for a moment and then gritted his teeth and said, "I might have exaggerated about owing you a personal favor. Let me put it this way. I can lend you my help three times, and you can come to me for anything unrelated to Jinque Palace. No matter where you are in this divine continent, I will definitely be there within half a day."

Only then did a smile appeared in Li Xuan’s eyes. Now he was actually interested, following Si Shenhua’s explanation.

※※※※

At the moment when the ’Heavenly Eye Worm’ fell to the ground, Prince Xiang’s son, Yu Qiyong, felt unbearable pain in his lower body.

He rolled on the ground clutching his lower body, howling miserably. It took a long time for him to slowly recover from the pain of being emasculated.

Because of his extremely painful screams, many people were drawn to the corner where he was hiding, pointing at him and talking.

Only after a long moment did Yu Qiyong regain his strength, then he covered his face with his sleeve and fled.

Right now, he regretted his princely robe. It could expose his identity and spark rumors throughout Capital City.

But Yu Qiyong was even more worried now.

Through the Heavenly Eye Worm, he knew that the ’Rule of Extreme Heaven’ of that knife was actually ’Yange’!

He thought, ’No way, right? Impossible! How can there be such a filthy knife in this world?’

’I can’t have been emasculated by this knife, absolutely not!’

’If the knife emasculates anyone, it should be the Heavenly Eye Worm, not me--’

However, Yu Qiyong was still not convinced. He thought about it, found another secluded corner, changed into ordinary brocade robes, even deliberately blackened his face, then picked a fancy brothel on the street and walked in.

To enhance his mood, Yu Qiyong specifically chose the best girl in the brothel.

But just three moments later, Prince Xiang’s son, Yu Qiyong, re-emerged listlessly, resembling a walking corpse.

He vaguely heard the brothel’s madam discussing with the other girls, "There really are all kinds of people in this world. You see, the guy just now was young and handsome, but...he just couldn’t perform."

"Couldn’t perform?" The brothel girls were shocked. "But wasn’t he there for three moments? That’s quite enough, right?"

"What’s the use of three moments if it won’t rise? Anyway, it tired me out. Just look at my cheeks, they’re all sore." The madam laughed sarcastically.

Yu Qiyong’s face turned ruddy with shame, and he stumbled towards Prince Xiang’s mansion.

It was only after he entered the grand hall of Prince Xiang’s mansion that he sobered up a bit.

Yu Qiyong saw his father, Prince Xiang Yu Zhanshi, sitting prominently in the middle of the hall, looking at him with stern eyes.
