Chapter 12
hapter 12: Fear of Defeat
The silver light came from a wall in front of her . It would be more accurate to say it was an enormous monument .
She was located in what appeared to be an enormous underwater cave with a giant monument stuck into the centre of this cave from above . It seemed as though this giant monument was half in the ground and half in the water, right in front of her
This enormous monument was made from a special kind of blue-gray metal . The surface had many deep seal lines, and the blinding silver light flowed in the seal lines before radiating out .
This was a lifeless giant monument . Compared to the monument, Zhao Si’s body was like a little fish facing the bottom of a giant ship .
Yet looking at this giant monument, she laughed enthusiastically . “We meet again,” she said to the monument .
Then she released the accumulated energies of her body along the meridians in a wild and violent manner! She had broken through the rock this entire way . When she reached this spot, the water from the underground yin river also had arrived here .
There were black and sticky lines within the water . When her sword essence activated, the black lines suddenly broke through the water . They were black oil .
When the black oil came into contact with her surging primal energies of the universe, it was like one life encountering another . Heat formed, and then with a boom, the lines of black oil became swords of fire .
This was a scene hard to describe in words .
The numerous swords of fire moved through the water, with a presence to pierce the sky as they stabbed towards the seal scripts of the giant monument . Numerous air waves exploded on the giant monument . Sprays of water exploded outwards like fine powder . Silver sparks flew out of the seal scripts . The silver scripts shone so brightly the underground cave looked like a dazzling starry sky . But there was no warmth, only coldness and destruction .
This presence was the presence of Empress Zheng who she was familiar with .
A crack appeared in the monument’s seal scripts . The flowing silver light disappeared . Zhao Si’s presence fluctuated violently . Blood leaked from the corners of her mouth, but she still wore a proud smile .
She had been defeated by Zheng Xiu’s sword on the Wei River . But in the subsequent matches with Zheng Xiu, she had won .
The Zhao Sword Furnace will take back the lost swords with their own hands! She said to herself determinedly as she looked at the enormous monument .
When the sparks flowing on the monument dissipated, many invisible rays of starlight that fell down towards this Great Floating Water Prison were suddenly cut off .
This naturally could not escape the attention of the empress in the palace . No anger appeared on her perfect face, only a cold smile . She thought her predictions were correct . Just like that person had known her best back then, she knew that person the best .
Now, the Nine Death Silkworm’s conduct was very similar to that person . So she was able to predict .
She did not care about this momentary victory . She felt, as she tightened her net, she would capture all these great rebels . She even started to imagine how she would see all these people in the Great Floating Water Prison together .
As the silver sparks on the monument dissipated in front of Zhao Si, the silver sparks that flowed like blood invisibly through Great Floating Water Prison also disappeared .
An unique tremor and explosions sounded in the Great Floating Water Prison .
Bai Shanshui stood in front of the Thirty Thousand Catty gates . Behind her, the commander who had been sent flying had struggled upright .

The army had regrouped to form a semi-circular encirclement to surround Bai Shanshui . Yet without the commander’s next order, they did not attack immediately .
These Dongling Army soldiers had not heard Bai Shanshui’s words like the general did . But they had a strange feeling when they saw Bai Shanshui standing in front of the gates . They all felt that the gates would rise in the next moment .
Suddenly, their breaths stilled .
Bai Shanshui smiled .
A wave of dust appeared on the ground ahead of her . The gates lifted .
She stepped forward without hesitation . Her beautiful and indescribably rebellious presence passed through the gates .
The strange tremors emerged from the Great Floating Water Prison . The entire prison was trembling .
The inside of the Great Floating Water Prison was usually ignored by Changling’s people, but there were many terrifying officials within .
Feeling the entire Great Floating Water Prison trembling, these terrifying officials started to feel terror . But not all .
When Bai Shanshui walked towards the second gate, the water filling the tunnel suddenly pressed outwards, and hit this gate like an enormous fist .
Then the gates curved, and gave enough space for Bai Shanshui to pass through . The flowing water docilely flowed by her side and moved away .

A layer of waves rose on the dusty ground outside the Great Floating Water Prison . The usually dry earth was like a beach right now .
The water in front of Bai Shanshui had completely disappeared, leaving behind uneven stones . At the end of the tunnel was a figure standing there without fear .
Bai Shanshui had defeated the Dongling Army and passed through the Thirty Thousand Catty Gates to arrive here . Her presence had reached a peak . But the figure blocking her had no terror . His presence surged towards her as though to suppress her .
This person was not Shen Xuan .
He was an old man in blue robes . His features were small but his face was long, causing his face to look like a flat bamboo board .
Looking at this old man, Bai Shanshui laughed . “Du Qingli, you think you can stop me?”
The old man imperceptibly frowned . Perhaps there were people in the world who knew there were two imperial academicians of the Qin Dynasty, but people rarely knew their names, much less recognize them at a glance .
“I am not of the Qin, and cannot know your name . Before I prepared to come here, I did not even know that you and Du Hongtan existed . ”
Seeing that the old man did not respond immediately, Bai Shanshui laughed more happily . “You should know who told me . I can tell you very clearly he will not come today . We are able to come here . You should understand his abilities … even if we are defeated today, you cannot escape his retribution . ”
As the entire Great Floating Water Prison trembled, this old man who was not weaker than Bai Shanshui at her peak suddenly felt a hint of terror .

“Nine Death Silkworm …” He knew who the “he” Bai Shanshui spoke of referred to and unconsciously uttered .
This was the time Bai Shanshui had been waiting to attack .
Bai Shanshui attacked . Her green longsword disappeared from her hand .
In front of the old man’s forehead, a dot of green rippled . At the center of the green waves was a green needle .
“Even if it’s the Nine Death Silkworm, if you cannot even win against me, why fear the retribution of the Nine Death Silkworm?” Bai Shanshui said mockingly .
The pupils of the old academician of the imperial palace contracted . He sensed the focused sword essence of that thin needle . Not caring about Bai Shanshui’s response, he shouted harshly . “That Nine Death Silkworm heir told you this tactic!”
As he shouted, a narrow green sword appeared in his hand, looking like a thin stalk of bamboo . It did not fall towards Bai Shanshui’s sword essence, but his left eyebrow .
With a soft sound, Bai Shanshui’s sword essence inexplicably disappeared .
A wound appeared on his left eyebrow . Blood flowed down and covered his already small left eye . Shrill screams echoed through the tunnel .
Bai Shanshui launched her second attack .
Her lifebond sword appeared again in her hand . In an instant, seventeen green beads of water appeared in front of her sword .
The seventeen beads of green water started to accelerate and elongate .
