Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Gu Yong's eyes instantly reddened, filled with tears and a mix of emotions.

Song Yunshu brushed her hair back from her forehead, slightly raising her chin, as if to appear less disheveled.

The woman took a deep breath to calm herself.

Turning to the side and extending her hand, she said softly,

"Come in."

Li Guanqi walked into the small courtyard, looked at the old man who seemed like a different person, and said softly,

"If you don't want me here, I can leave."

Song Yunshu didn't speak, but Gu Yong waved his crutch.

"I thought you… wouldn't come."

"What's so good about an old, decaying man like me?"

After speaking, Gu Yong turned and walked towards the courtyard, saying as he went,

"It's good enough… that you came."

"Come in and have some tea."

Li Guanqi silently followed, his divine sense subtly scanning the two.

Suddenly, Li Guanqi frowned, a cold glint flashing in his eyes!

Because he discovered many old, chronic ailments in both of their bodies!

It seems… Gu Yong has made many enemies since losing power.

Li Guanqi turned to look at Song Yunshu, wondering why she hadn't told him.

Song Yunshu helped Gu Yong sit down, then stood up and said softly, "I'll make you some tea."

Li Guanqi smiled and nodded: "No need to be so polite."

Song Yunshu didn't speak and turned to leave.

The small courtyard was simply built, without any ornate carvings.

Gu Yong, perhaps noticing Li Guanqi's surveying gaze, smiled with a hint of pride.

"Yunshu did all this under my guidance, isn't it nice?"

Li Guanqi was a little surprised, not expecting this young lady to have actually built the house herself.

Gu Yong was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke.

"Li boy… after all these years… do you still blame this old man?"

Li Guanqi smiled bitterly upon hearing this.

"Yes, I do."

Gu Yong froze in place, not expecting Li Guanqi to hold such a grudge!

He thought Li Guanqi's arrival meant he didn't care anymore.

Li Guanqi said softly, "I originally thought we were kindred spirits."

"But I never imagined that you, old man, were cooperating with the people behind the scenes to plot against me from the moment I accepted the mission from the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion."

"Whether it was the Heavenly Secrets Chart or the Great Evolution Heavenly Secrets Chart."

"This thing… almost caused a great disaster and cost me my life."

Indeed, the person he initially thought he was peering at through the Great Evolution Heavenly Secrets Chart was the mastermind behind the Immortal Realm!

Because the immortal energy at the time was too strong, but it wasn't until he met Xun Tian that he finally understood that Xun Tian was hiding in a place similar to the Seventh Domain between the Immortal Realm's boundaries.

So, what he felt was definitely not the person behind the Immortal Realm, but Xun Tian.

Li Guanqi suddenly seemed to think of something and asked softly.

"Gu, was the person you contacted back then… from when you were in seclusion to break through to the Mahayana stage?"

The old man with the cane covered half his face with his hands, but his cloudy eyes stared at Li Guanqi, and he slowly shook his head!

Li Guanqi's breathing hitched, he folded his hands in his sleeves, and his eyes narrowed.

"Then when was it?"

Gu Yong said softly, "To be precise, the first time should have been when I commissioned you to retrieve the Heavenly Secrets Chart."

"It's just that I was very arrogant and apprehensive at the time… and didn't contact him again until… when my lifespan was nearing its end but I couldn't break through to the Mahayana stage, that's when the other party appeared."

Li Guanqi took a deep breath, which made sense.

Staring at the old man, he asked again: "Then do you know… that the person you contacted was not from the Immortal Realm?"

As soon as he said this, Gu Yong's expression changed drastically!

He murmured tremblingly: "Impossible!"

"What I saw was definitely an immortal!! If not, how could he have helped me break through to the Mahayana Realm!!"

However, at this moment, Song Yunshu, who had changed her clothes, came out.

Seeing the old man standing up like a madman, tears streamed down her originally lightly made-up face.

Li Guanqi took a deep breath and said softly.

"Xun Tian, ​​the domain lord of the Dao Chan Domain, you should know him."

"He is a lower realm avatar of an immortal from the upper realm, and it is not surprising that he possesses some special means."

Seeing that the old man was about to say something, Song Yunshu suddenly smashed all the teacups in her hand!

Bang!!

"Enough, Grandpa!!!"

Gu Yong, with his disheveled hair, finally regained his clarity and slumped back into his chair with a bitter expression.

Li Guanqi flicked his finger, and a wisp of pure Yuan energy entered the old man's body, dispelling all the old ailments within him.

A look of relief finally appeared on Gu Yong's face, and he looked at Li Guanqi with a complicated expression.

He murmured to himself: "Yes… he has let go, what else can't I let go of…"

Although Li Guanqi didn't explicitly say what he had suffered because of the Great Evolution Heavenly Secrets Chart.

But how clever was Gu Yong?

Song Yunshu squatted on the ground, crying bitterly.

She didn't understand why she had to suffer all this…

But did she resent Li Guanqi?

No, she didn't.

Because the root cause of everything was Gu Yong's infatuation.

Li Guanqi got up and came to Song Yunshu, gently patting her shoulder.

In an instant, tyrannical lightning Yuan power instantly roamed her whole body, nourishing the hidden ailments within her.

Just as Li Guanqi was about to speak, bursts of buzzing suddenly came from the sky.

A piercing sonic boom suddenly rang out!

Several figures flew over from the distant horizon in an instant!

Song Yunshu's expression tightened, and she drew her long sword almost reflexively.

But at this moment, a big hand stopped her.

Standing in front of Song Yunshu, he turned to look at Gu Yong and said softly.

"Gu, have you let go?"

Gu Yong put down his crutch, closed his eyes and nodded slightly, murmuring.

"I've let go…"

"Looking back now, I still feel a little sorry for you, young friend."

The corners of Li Guanqi's mouth raised slightly, and the deaths of the people around Ye Mo Han and the face of Zhou Qingguo going to his death flashed in his mind.

"I've also let go."

When he heard these words, tears of guilt and remorse streamed down Gu Yong's eyes.

His thin lips trembled slightly, and many words were stuck in his throat for a moment.

Song Yunshu had just gone into the house to change into a tight-fitting black silk cheongsam, just like when he first met her.

But the woman's face no longer had the confident smile she once had.

No matter how you looked at it, the smile felt forced.

It wasn't until she heard the conversation between Li Guanqi and Gu Yong that the knot in her heart that had been troubling her for a long time finally opened up a little.

And now Li Guanqi's strength has long stood at the top of the cultivators in the world.

Li Guanqi felt a little more relaxed in his heart, not because he had forgiven Gu Yong…

He came here as if to reconcile with himself.

During his time in the Seventh Domain, his state of mind had also changed a little.

Because he had witnessed too many people leaving…

In the end, he was all alone, leaving only his name.
