Aside from cultivating, Liu Yi's favorite thing to do is read books.

She knew all the myths and legends that had been passed down to her very well.

Even Sun Wukong and others had heard of it.

“Lady Shiji was a pitiful person,” Liu Yi sighed.

She had read different books, and the accounts of Lady Shiji varied, mostly portraying her as a demon leader who wreaked havoc on the human world.

But one version left a particularly deep impression on her.

Lady Shiji was a ten-thousand-year-old demon immortal who was kind and reasonable. However, because Nezha was playful, he shot and killed two of her disciples.

She went to Nezha's father to demand an explanation, but Li Jing was very protective of his son and had Nezha escape to his master.

Lady Shiji chased Nezha to the stone gate, but Nezha's master was even more protective of his own.

No match for Taiyi Zhenren. After only a few rounds of fighting, Shiji Niangniang was turned into a stone statue.

The strong can act recklessly, while the weak can only be oppressed. This was true even in the ancient realm of gods, let alone in the mortal world.

Bian Lang was also surprised that Liu Yi was so familiar with the story of Lady Shiji.

"What do you think the real Lady Shiji was like?" Bian Lang then asked with a smile.

Liu Yi thought for a moment and said, "Naturally, I'll say the last version."

Bian Lang laughed and said, "Once we dig up Lady Shiji's body, we will know the truth."

If the body of Lady Shiji is a stone sculpture, it proves that the powerful figures like Nezha oppressed the good and kind.

"Is Lady Shiji's remains really near the mountain peak?" Liu Yi asked.

Bian Lang nodded.

The animals of the Misty Forest were unaware that Xing Tian's remains were at the bottom of Red Bean Lake, the people of Dengtian Pavilion were unaware that Ao Feng's remains were hidden in the pond at the foot of the mountain, and it was quite normal for the Kaoshan Gang not to know that Shiji Niangniang's remains were at the foot of Kaoshan Peak.

Since Lady Shiji's remains are on the mountain peak, Liu Yi definitely wants to go and see them.

The thought of seeing the remains of the characters from the story is quite exciting.

After tidying up briefly, the two rode a three-headed gray sparrow to Kaoshan City.

The elite disciples of the Kaoshan Gang, along with Su Jiuyin and his daughter Su Xiaoxiao, all perished in Iron Enclosure City.

The current power base is leaderless.

Of the former leaders of the eighteen mountain strongholds, many have left or died, leaving very few remaining.

The person who most wants to seize power right now is Bai Ruyun, the city lord of Kaoshan City.

But the owners of the other mountains also harbored such ambitions.

Ultimately, who will become the new leader of the Backing Gang will be determined by strength.

In conclusion, none of the remaining factions have a founder.

Even in the Iron City, there is no ancestor.

Therefore, apart from Justice Fortress, the Mountain Gang is the strongest, provided that all the mountain factions unite and elect a new gang leader as soon as possible.

If the fighting continues, it will only weaken the Backer Gang's strength.

Even Bai Ruyun was nervous when Liu Yi appeared.

If Liu Yi is here to compete for the position of gang leader, then all those who want to become gang leader will have one more powerful competitor.

But what's even more terrifying is the man beside Liu Yi.

It's Bianlang.

If Bian Lang gets involved in this matter, then Liu Yi becoming the gang leader will be a foregone conclusion.

The disciples of Mazong Mountain were very excited, because they all felt that Liu Yi had come to compete for the position of gang leader.

"Liu Yi, you are no longer a disciple of the Backing Mountain Gang, what are you doing here?" Bai Ruyun wanted to say the most hateful words, but his trembling voice and fearful eyes betrayed him.

Seeing the tension in Bai Ruyun and the others, Liu Yi smiled and explained, "Don't worry, everyone. I am no longer a member of the Kaoshan Gang, so naturally I will not participate in any of the Kaoshan Gang's affairs."

With Liu Yi's words, Bai Ruyun and the others felt relieved.

Otherwise, with Bian Lang's support, it would have been incredibly easy for Liu Yi to seize the position of gang leader.

"Then what brings you here?" Bai Ruyun was, after all, the city lord of Kaoshan City, and he was in charge of many things in the city.

Liu Yi said, "We need to dig through the mountain peak."

Bai Ruyun wanted to object vehemently, but seeing Bian Lang's amused smile, she had no choice but to suppress her anger and asked with a smile, "Why do you want to dig open the mountain peak?"

The Kaoshan Gang has eighteen mountain peaks, but its true totem is Kaoshan Peak.

If the mountain peak is destroyed, can the Mountain Gang still be the Mountain Gang?

"The remains of Lady Shiji are at the foot of the mountain peak." Seeing that Bian Lang remained silent, Liu Yi had no choice but to continue.

Bai Ruyun asked in astonishment, "The remains of Lady Shiji?"

Anyone with a normal sense would think Liu Yi was joking when they heard this.

Lady Shiji is a figure from mythology. Even if those myths are true, how could her remains be buried under the mountain peak?

Liu Yi simply said, "Xing Tian's remains are still in the Misty Forest."

Bai Ruyun remained silent, observing Bian Lang's expression.

Bian Lang is here for the remains of Lady Shiji, and he will overturn Kaoshan Peak no matter what.

If they absolutely refuse to agree, then they really have no choice but to die.

Anyone who opposes Bian Lang will ultimately meet a bad end, even the old ancestor is no exception.

Bai Ruyun smiled and said, "Master Bian, we will cooperate fully to help you excavate the remains of Lady Shiji."

"Thank you very much then," Bian Lang said with a smile.

Bai Ruyun immediately arranged accommodations for Bian Lang and Liu Yi, and at the same time ordered people to invite the mountain lords of various mountains to discuss how to get the remains of Lady Shiji out.

However, Liu Yi declined Bai Ruyun's offer and chose to go to the restaurant where Bai Ruyun usually stayed.

When she left Iron City last time, even her storage bag was filled with Meng Po wine.

Having grown accustomed to Meng Po's wine, the wine from Kaoshan City simply has no flavor at all.

After discussion, Bai Ruyun and the others were all very wise and did not choose to confront Bian Lang.

Those who resist the tides meet a tragic end; only those who are pragmatic and adaptable can live a long and healthy life.

Although the mountain peak doesn't look very big, leveling it wouldn't be easy.

Inside the restaurant, Liu Yi was very curious. She had thought that Bian Lang would directly split Kaoshan Peak in two with an axe after arriving in Kaoshan City.

I never expected Bian Lang to be so calm and collected.

Bian Lang said, "There's something that's bothering me, and I need to think about it carefully."

"What is it? Tell me, and I'll help you think of something," Liu Yi said with a smile.

Bian Lang said, "My mission this time is to move the remains of Lady Shiji to the Lady Shiji Temple."

"Where is the Temple of Lady Shiji?" Liu Yi had never heard of it.

Bian Lang laughed and said, "It's on the other side of the river."

Liu Yi looked astonished, never expecting that Bian Lang would actually drive the corpse to the other side of the Tongtian River this time.

They knew nothing about the world on the other side of the river.

And then there's the West Sea Dragon Palace. They clearly knew that Ao Feng's body was in the Joyful God Pavilion, but the crab general didn't go back to report, and the West Sea didn't send anyone else. That's strange too.

Bian Lang then asked with a smile, "Do you want to go?"

Liu Yi nodded.

Her interest in the other side of the river was no less than that of Bian Lang.

Given the chance, she would naturally like to go and see the world on the other side.

But will Bian Lang really take her with him?

Boom!

A terrifyingly loud bang made the two of them stand up at the same time and step outside.
