Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

A terrifying pressure surged within the secret treasure vault.

Instantly, the powerful pressure forced Li Guanqi to slightly bend his back.

Xiahou Cang, at this moment, unreservedly revealed his killing intent.

It was as if, should Li Guanqi refuse to sign a master-servant contract with his soul, he would immediately attack and kill him.

However, Li Guanqi remained remarkably calm.

The look in his eyes as he regarded Xiahou Cang held not even a hint of fluctuation.

Faced with the immense pressure, Li Guanqi merely smiled faintly.

"What is City Lord Xiahou doing?"

"Planning to kill me?"

Xiahou Cang slowly stepped forward, speaking softly.

"No, how could I bear to kill you…"

"It's just… your mind and schemes are too deep, they frighten me."

"Therefore, I have no choice but to do this; only in this way can I ensure I can control you."

Li Guanqi chuckled, casually fiddling with the rows of jade boxes before him.

"City Lord Xiahou's ambition is indeed as great as I imagined."

"The tripartite division, carving up the inner bay, could never satisfy you…"

Li Guanqi slowly turned his head to look at the man drawing closer, saying nothing.

He simply waited quietly, as if anticipating something.

Suddenly!!

Xiahou Cang frowned, halting his steps and retrieving a jade slip with a backhand motion.

Sending immortal essence into it, the jade slip transmitted a woman's voice, filled with frantic urgency.

"Xiahou!!! Our son is missing!!!"

Upon hearing this, Xiahou Cang abruptly looked up, staring at the calm-faced Li Guanqi not far away.

"You!! It was you!!!"

Li Guanqi shrugged, chuckling softly.

"City Lord Xiahou was too hasty."

"You and I were originally in a cooperative relationship; you paid me a reward, and I did things for you, so why think about taking me in?"

"That's not good…"

Having witnessed Li Guanqi's methods, Xiahou Cang now dispersed his pressure and spiritual imprints, forcibly calming himself down.

He looked at Li Guanqi, uttering each word with deliberate slowness.

"What exactly do you want!!"

By now, Xiahou Cang was certain that the other party's goal was far from simple.

He wanted to know what Li Guanqi truly desired.

Li Guanqi shook his head, speaking softly.

"I want half the city!"

Li Guanqi stated bluntly, but this was not his ultimate goal.

However, at this moment, he had to give Xiahou Cang an explanation, a final goal that would inspire his trust.

In Xiahou Cang's view, although this request was excessive, it was also very realistic.

As for the Glazed Ice Jade…

He had never imagined that Li Guanqi would try to get his hands on it.

In the end, once the bay stabilized, the Glazed Ice Jade would either be devoured by him alone, or the three city lords would join forces to obtain it.

That would definitely be a game between True Immortals, and would have nothing to do with Li Guanqi.

But… was that really the case?

Xiahou Cang inhaled sharply; if he really gave Li Guanqi half the city,

Then he alone could pocket over a hundred million immortal crystals!!

Yet Xiahou Cang nodded without hesitation at this moment, agreeing.

"Alright! I agree!!"

"With only one condition, and that is that after everything is over, you return my son to me!"

Li Guanqi smiled and nodded.

"That is only natural."

After saying that, Li Guanqi took a deep look at Xiahou Cang, this man with shallow schemes, who, although ambitious, was severely lacking in other aspects.

"I hope that City Lord Xiahou will try to let go of the wariness in your heart after we leave this place."

"Cooperating with me is naturally excellent."

"If that were not the case, I could simply walk out and find Chu Yuan and Chen Ce."

"I believe those two would both welcome me very much."

Xiahou Cang's figure passed by Li Guanqi at this moment, a chill rising from the soles of his feet straight to the crown of his head!!

A little cold sweat seeped from his back, and he couldn't help but follow Li Guanqi's train of thought in his mind, pre-enacting the scenario.

He swallowed, and quickly said.

"No… no."

Li Guanqi casually picked a few immortal herbs and ores, and was not as restrained in front of the man anymore.

He simply took advantage of this opportunity to take a little more.

Leaving the secret chamber, Li Guanqi took the first step towards Xia Lin City.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he transmitted his voice softly.

"Master, take the child and leave the bay first!"

"Use the teleportation talisman I gave you to leave, and be careful."

Putting down the jade slip, Li Guanqi looked down at the inner bay, which was already like an empty city, and there was no great emotional fluctuation in his heart.

When he returned to the City Lord's mansion of Xia Lin City, it had already been largely rebuilt; the speed was very fast, and the bloodstains had also been cleaned away.

A woman in a pure white dress, her lips pale, her eyes red from crying, stared blankly at Li Guanqi.

Li Guanqi did not speak when he saw this, and only nodded slightly at the woman after flying down.

But who knew that Yu Su would suddenly kneel in front of Li Guanqi, the woman looking at Li Guanqi with pleading eyes.

"Don't hurt my son, I beg you."

Li Guanqi glanced at the woman with indifferent eyes, tilting his head slightly.

"Oh?"

"Wasn't it Madam Yu who made the suggestion?"

Li Guanqi narrowed his eyes slightly, slowly squatting down to look at the 'pitiful' woman.

His eyes were as calm as a stagnant pool, without any ripples.

Yu Su's breath caught, and her body subconsciously leaned back slightly.

That was because she felt guilty!!!

Li Guanqi chuckled, glanced at the woman, and then got up and walked towards a separate courtyard.

After returning to the separate courtyard, Li Nanting was not here.

He had already let Li Nanting leave before this game began.

With the Sumeru Treasure Palace, the old man would mostly not be in any danger.

Outside the Emperor Rest Bay, among a mountain range.

A speck of dust was hidden among inconspicuous moss.

Li Nanting in the Treasure Palace was frantically changing the child's diaper.

But seeing the child crying because he was hungry, Li Nanting was also sweating profusely.

He paced around the palace holding the child, looking troubled…

"What… what's going on…"

"He's so hungry, I… I… hey!!"

The old man tremblingly lifted his clothes, smiled wryly and helplessly, and then closed his clothes.

He was so old, he had never thought he would encounter this situation.

For a time, he didn't know what to do.

Buzz!!!

A big white radish emerged from the void.

"Hehe, Grandmaster, the master asked me to come and see if there is anything I need help with?"

Li Nanting was like he had seen a savior.

"Milk! Milk!!"

Peng Luo covered her chest and took a few steps back.

"Grandmaster, please respect yourself!"

The old man hurriedly explained and then explained what was going on.

Peng Luo thought for a while.

"I'll go find some milk…"

Li Guanqi in the room was playing chess alone, and didn't take what happened before to heart at all.

With his warning, I'm afraid that Xiahou Cang has completely given up the idea of destroying him.

In this way, Xiahou Cang was completely pulled to the opposite side of Chu Yuan and Chen Ce.

The remaining East City and Winter Proximity City are now as solid as a copper wall.

Li Guanqi slowly placed a chess piece with a calm expression.

"Why do I always feel that there are some variables in this third move?"

He waved his hand and dispersed the chessboard, and got up and walked towards the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

"City Lord Xiahou, I wonder if it's convenient to meet with Madam Yu, I have something I want to understand with you two."

Li Guanqi walked while thinking about many things in his mind.

He turned his head to look in the direction of the outer bay and murmured.

"Now that the six cities in the inner bay are fighting like this, the Colosseum outside the bay has not moved at all…"

"What exactly is that place?"
