Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

After a long while, one of Li Guanqi's arms was broken, and blood soaked his white robe.

Chu Yuan, his face frosty, unleashed an immensely powerful True Immortal aura, and with a wave of his hand, he threw Li Guanqi out of the City Lord's mansion.

There were no words, no harsh remarks.

He simply threw Li Guanqi out of the City Lord's mansion.

Li Guanqi fell to the ground, his face pale, his expression weak and aggrieved.

If he were dressed as a woman, he could be described as tearful like a pear blossom in the rain.

“City Lord Chu, Xia Lin City will remember this humiliation today!”

At the same time, Xia Houcang, unaware of the truth, arrived in the East City at some point.

When the man saw Li Guanqi being thrown out of the City Lord's mansion with a broken arm,

Both Li Guanqi and Chu Yuan were shocked.

Li Guanqi clearly felt that Chu Yuan's eyes seemed to say, 'You didn't say Xia Houcang was coming!'

Li Guanqi raised his eyebrows. 'I didn't know he was coming either!'

Xia Houcang came through the air, the rumbling sound spread throughout the entire East City, his aura aggressive.

Swish!

Xia Houcang flashed forward and helped Li Guanqi up, his Immortal Essence unconsciously flowing, and he discovered that Li Guanqi's arm was indeed broken!

Although he was dissatisfied with Li Guanqi's unauthorized actions, Li Guanqi now represented the entire Xia Lin City after all!

“Chu Yuan, are you really not giving me, Xia Houcang, any face?”

“Even in war, envoys are not killed. My man came to see you, and this is how you treat him?”

Xia Houcang helped Li Guanqi up, took out healing pills and gave them to Li Guanqi. After swallowing the pills, Li Guanqi tugged at the man's sleeve.

But this tug was a big deal; Xia Houcang didn't understand what was going on at all.

Instead, he patted the back of Li Guanqi's hand and said in a deep voice.

“It's okay, what are you afraid of!”

“I'm here, what are you still afraid of?”

As soon as the words fell, the man walked step by step into the air, his icy gaze fixed on Chu Yuan, and he said in a deep voice.

“Today, you must give me an explanation!”

“Do you really think I, Xia Houcang, am easy to bully?”

Chu Yuan really wanted to roll his eyes at this moment, and Li Guanqi was also a little helpless, but he couldn't say anything.

He simply let the two of them play it out, preferably with a direct fight.

In this way, no one would suspect anything.

“Xia Houcang, go back and teach your subordinates how to do things!”

“If you want to run wild in my East City, you're probably not qualified enough!”

The two of them engaged in a war of words, spraying each other for the time it takes to burn an incense stick, but in the end, they didn't fight.

This was East City after all, and if they really fought, Xia Houcang would definitely suffer.

However…

When Xia Houcang left with Li Guanqi, he actually waved his hand and unleashed several sword strikes!

The sword light flew and actually collapsed a part of the East City Lord's mansion's courtyard walls and pavilions.

Chu Yuan's chest heaved violently with anger.

Li Guanqi's face was slightly pale as he was pulled by the man and sped away through the air.

“City Lord Xia Hou, why did you come?”

As soon as these words came out, Li Guanqi realized that Xia Houcang's face was not very good at this time.

The man's face was livid as he glanced at Li Guanqi and said in a low voice.

“Why did I come?”

“Li Congxin, what exactly are you trying to do!”

“From the moment you left the city today, you haven't told me what your plan is, what you want to do!”

“We still have room for negotiation with Bei Zha, why did you come to East City to humiliate yourself!”

The man spoke quickly, a cold snort coming from his mouth.

“Hmph! Now, if we go to negotiate with that guy Hu Yanlie again, I'm afraid we'll have to pay a considerable price.”

“The news of you being thrown out of the City Lord's mansion with a broken arm today will probably spread throughout the entire Bay Area soon.”

Li Guanqi shook his head helplessly. With Xia Houcang's brain, if Yu Su didn't assist him from the side…

I'm afraid he would have been divided and eaten by the major families long ago!

Li Guanqi suppressed the power of the pill in his body, maintaining his injured posture all the way back to Xia Lin City.

As soon as he returned to the City Lord's mansion, Xia Houcang threw Li Guanqi down and hurried to the study alone.

He wanted to contact Hu Yanlie and request a meeting.

Li Guanqi called him twice, but the man pretended not to hear him and closed the door as soon as he returned to the study.

Li Guanqi cursed in a low voice, speechless.

“Really stupid…”

After speaking, he restored his arm to its original state within a few breaths.

At this time, a woman holding a baby in her arms slowly walked towards Li Guanqi from not far away.

Yu Su first looked at Li Guanqi's arm, then looked at Xia Houcang, who was hiding anxiously in the study behind closed doors.

“Young Master Li has worked hard, is your arm feeling better?”

Li Guanqi was stunned when he heard this, then smiled and nodded.

In Yu Su's opinion, Li Guanqi was injured entirely because of Xia Lin City's affairs.

But Xia Houcang's current state is that he looks calm on the surface, but in reality, he is always very anxious inside.

Li Guanqi's peripheral vision saw several corpses placed in the corner of the mansion's backyard, covered with white cloth.

“What are those?”

Yu Su sighed and said softly: “The city guards have not been peaceful recently, and some accidents have occurred when the mansion's cultivators went out.”

“But I don’t know which force is doing it.”

“But… no one died today.”

Li Guanqi frowned slightly. It seemed that many forces were observing Xia Lin City's situation today!

And most of the people who committed the murders were from the Southwest two cities!

Chu Yuan of East City, and Chen Ce of Donglin City don't have this time, and besides, they have already agreed to cooperate today!

Li Guanqi shrugged and ignored Xia Houcang, but looked at the woman in front of him and said softly.

“Madam Yu, can you contact that Hu Yanlie?”

The woman frowned slightly, looked up at Li Guanqi, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

“Chu Yuan broke his arm, and he still wants to consider Xia Lin City, wanting to ally with Bei Zha City…”

“This Young Master Li is really dedicated.”

Nodding and said: “Yes, but at this moment… Xia Hou is still in contact with Bei Zha City.”

As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of smashing in the study, and the sound of teacups breaking.

Bang bang! Clang! Rattle!!!

Li Guanqi really wanted to roll his eyes.

He really couldn't help it, and looked at the woman in front of him.

“Without Madam Yu, it would be really difficult for City Lord Xia Hou to gain a foothold in the six cities of the Bay Area…”

Yu Su was obviously a little surprised.

“Ah? Why does Young Master Li say that?”

Li Guanqi frowned.

“With this temperament and city, can he still mediate among the five cities for a long time?”

The woman's beautiful eyebrows were slightly frowned, obviously realizing something, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

“Young Master Li's mind is like a demon, but he thinks of everyone else as smart as you.”

Li Guanqi showed a look of astonishment on his face when he heard this. Could it be that there are not so many smart people??

Sighed.

Li Guanqi put his hands behind his back and said softly.

“Madam Yu, please prepare a conference hall, Hu Yanlie will come to visit in person soon.”

Before he finished speaking, Xia Houcang, with an angry face, walked out of the study.

His eyes were also a little cold when he looked at Li Guanqi.

“Hu Yanlie is coming in person? Why is he coming? Why are you so sure?”

“I just finished talking to him, and this greedy guy actually opened his mouth and wanted to divide half of my Xia Lin City!!!”

Li Guanqi really didn't want to explain too much to him, but just said indifferently.

“Just wait, after the time it takes to burn an incense stick, Hu Yanlie will beg City Lord Xia Hou to see him.”
