Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

A trace of reminiscence flashed in Kong Yan's eyes as he counted the time on his fingers.

Finally, after checking his left hand and then his right, he murmured with trembling hands, "It's been seven years."

The old man's eyes turned red, and tears seemed to be welling up inside. No one knew how he had survived these seven years.

After a long while, he realized that Li Guanqi was still beside him. He quickly raised his sleeve to wipe his eyes, but he couldn't bear to use his sect robe.

He just wiped the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand and murmured softly, "A very cliché story..."

"The reason I left that day was because an old friend and I found a seventh-order spirit herb!"

"And the most precious thing about this spirit herb was that there were no guardian beasts, or the guardian beasts were already dead."

"Just as the spirit herb was about to mature, someone from the Luo family suddenly arrived. My old friend risked his life to buy me a chance to live."

As the old man spoke, his voice became choked with emotion, as if his old friend's dying words were still echoing in his ears.

After a long silence, the old man said, "After that... my old friend died, the spirit herb was gone, and I was captured. That's it."

Kong Yan's few simple words summarized his extremely tragic seven years of slavery.

Li Guanqi said softly, "Elder Kong, do you want to go back to the sect?"

Kong Yan's eyes lit up as he looked at the young man in front of him, his eyes gleaming, and then he nodded.

Li Guanqi smiled, then took out a transmission scroll and a sect jade token, and said softly.

"Take the teleportation array back, someone will pick you up in the Great Xia Domain."

The old man took a deep breath, then said in a deep voice, "Okay! This old man... doesn't have the heart to continue traveling the continent anymore, so let's just go back."

Li Guanqi left him a few hundred spirit stones, and then the old man crushed the scroll and left.

The old man cupped his hands and said goodbye, with tears in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Take care, don't be too aggressive, leave a line for others."

Li Guanqi smiled and nodded, waving goodbye to the old man.

Silver light flashed, and after the old man left, Li Guanqi took out the Heavenly Mystery Jade Pendant, thought about it, and put it down.

He flashed to Luo Siyang and began to search his soul without explanation.

Soon Li Guanqi frowned. In Luo Siyang's memory, he found that Kong Yan was not captured by Luo Siyang.

His first meeting with Kong Yan was in the Luo family's dungeon. Before that, Luo Siyang didn't know how Kong Yan was captured.

Not paying too much attention to this matter, Li Guanqi's mouth suddenly twitched.

A handsome young man in a black robe drilled out of the void in a hurry.

Qin Wushang looked at Luo Siyang 'sunbathing' and was slightly stunned, marveling, "You went so easy on him?"

"I thought you would have skinned him and dried him in the sun."

Luo Siyang, who was in a daze, tried his best to open his eyes. His blurred vision just recognized Qin Wushang, and his whole body was shocked!!!

Although the Luo family is considered an ancient family that has been passed down to this day, compared with the Qin family in Qin Huang City, it is like a child.

Qin Wushang, the son of the Emperor of Qin Huang City, is definitely a genius who crushes his peers!!

"How... how could he be with this guy?"

"And what does he mean by going easy on him?"

Li Guanqi shrugged, looked at Qin Wushang with a slight condensation in his eyes, and said softly, "You're improving so fast."

Qin Wushang, who was tall and straight, couldn't help but twitch his face when he heard this, and said sarcastically.

"You're the one improving fast, okay!"

"It's only been two years, and you're already in the late stage of Integration?"

"Also, I feel like something is different from the last time I saw you..."

That's right, Li Guanqi is now at the peak of the fourth stage of Enlightenment!

Li Guanqi smiled and didn't say much.

Qin Wushang, who has a handsome appearance, has a strange evil temperament. His slender fingers caressed his chin and murmured.

"Let me guess... your Enlightenment rank must be above the second rank peak!"

"No, the second rank can't have this aura... third rank?? No way!"

"Isn't it just two years of seclusion? You're comprehending so fast?"

Li Guanqi reached out and blocked his mouth: "Okay, stop guessing."

"You came so fast, just to watch the fun?"

Qin Wushang flashed to the top of the mountain and took out a white jade table from nowhere and poured wine on it.

"Oh, how can you look at me like that?"

"I'm here to have a drink with you. It's been too long since we met. You've been in seclusion for more than two years."

"I've also been cultivating and traveling the continent these two years, it's so boring."

Li Guanqi smiled, really not knowing what Qin Wushang, such a character, thinks about every day.

The last time they met, Li Guanqi still needed to look up to the other party's kendo strength.

But now...

Li Guanqi took a sip of wine and said softly, "Don't you have any friends?"

He shouldn't have said this, but when Qin Wushang heard this, he immediately curled his lips.

"No, I just accompany my sister every day."

"As for the others... Heh, I really can't stand them."

"Either they're trying to curry favor with me, or they have a little strength and are arrogant, with their butts sticking up."

"It's boring."

Li Guanqi didn't say anything. If he stayed in the sect every day, maybe he would have these troubles like him.

Under Qin Wushang's seemingly cold exterior, after getting familiar with him, he no longer had that gentle and taciturn feeling.

He was like someone who had been holding back from speaking for a long time. In Li Guanqi's eyes, he was even a bit like Xiao Chen, a chatterbox.

Without making the two wait long, just after drinking two pots of wine, the world changed, and a sharp blade of energy burst out from the void!!

Qin Wushang murmured excitedly, "Here it comes!"

Whoosh!!!

Li Guanqi narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

A golden blade of energy, as large as a hundred feet, flew towards them as if it wanted to flatten the mountain where they were.

Under the overflow of terrifying aura, a large area of trees in the mountains along the way collapsed.

Qin Wushang stared with interest at the sword coffin behind Li Guanqi. There were many rumors about this thing in the circle of their geniuses.

No one knew how many swords were in Li Guanqi's sword coffin, and no one knew whether the long sword he had been holding in his hand, named Red Lotus, was the last one.

But there were already many rumors that Li Guanqi's sword was a fairy sword with divinity!

But just when Qin Wushang wanted to take a closer look at the Red Lotus Sword, Li Guanqi suddenly took out a three-foot-long dead branch...

The dead branch was like a sword, and with the lightning flashing, he pointed out a 'sword'!!

Boom!!!!

The golden blade of energy shattered instantly, Qin Wushang stood up abruptly, narrowed his eyes, and stared at Li Guanqi's action of pointing the sword, muttering in a low voice.

"Convergence of Edge!"

"What a terrible ability to comprehend..."

"In just two years, his current kendo strength has even faintly surpassed mine."

A figure in a brocade robe walked out slowly from the huge crack.

Luo Changqing saw Luo Siyang hanging in the sky and being exposed to the sun at a glance. He was relieved to feel that he was not in danger.

He turned his head and saw Li Guanqi in a white robe holding a tree branch, and the man with a charming smile and a tall figure.

"Why is Qin Wushang here?"

Luo Changqing frowned slightly, looked at Qin Wushang and muttered to himself.

Finally, his eyes fell on Li Guanqi, and his eyes unconsciously became a little dignified.

"Is he Li Guanqi?"

"So strong..."
