Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

"Who would do such a thing?"

"And... it sounds like their target was me from the start."

"Cang Lu?"

But as soon as the thought crossed his mind, Li Guanqi immediately dismissed it.

Putting aside the timing, Cang Lu's strength wouldn't be enough to command a Nascent Soul realm cultivator.

The reason Yu Mu didn't dare to resist could only mean that the strength displayed by the other party was definitely higher than his, and stronger than even his post-Nascent Soul realm breakthrough!

"Just who could it be?"

"Staring at me... what's their purpose?"

Suddenly!

An incomparably powerful soul force erupted from within Li Guanqi's body!

Mental energy surged out overwhelmingly, and Yu Mu was knocked unconscious almost instantly.

Immediately afterward, a cold glint flashed in Li Guanqi's eyes, and his five fingers, shaped like eagle claws, fiercely gripped the top of Yu Mu's head!!

His eyes lowered, he muttered in a deep voice.

"Soul Search!!"

Boom!!!

His right hand exerted slight force, and silver threads appeared between his fingers.

Below the threads, a transparent soul was being pulled from Yu Mu's body.

Li Guanqi's face turned slightly pale; he hadn't expected the Soul Search technique to consume so much energy.

He could even clearly sense his divine sense rapidly disappearing within his sea of consciousness.

A silver light suddenly flashed in Li Guanqi's eyes, and then his mind began to quickly flip through Yu Mu's memories about that mysterious person.

But just as he was about to see it...

Suddenly!!

Overwhelming silver sword beams instantly shot towards him!!!

The terrifying divine sense attack was completely unexpected, and that power was even frantically overdrawing Yu Mu's own strength!!!

Boom!!!!

Li Guanqi's expression changed slightly, and his divine sense crashed down like ocean waves!!

One spiritual sword after another was shattered under the pounding of the waves!!

But the surging divine sense spiritual swords still shot towards Li Guanqi's sea of consciousness!!

There were too many... so many that even he couldn't completely resist them.

Dozens of divine sense spiritual swords struck the Sea of Consciousness Dao Platform one after another, and even the invisible Dao Platform was cut with some cracks.

Li Guanqi's face instantly turned extremely pale, and blood flowed from his seven orifices!!

Finally...

Li Guanqi knelt on one knee on the ground, his expression dazed, and his eyes slightly scattered.

His chest rose and fell violently, and he gasped for breath in the void!!

Bean-sized beads of sweat slowly flowed down his cheeks.

It took a long time before he recovered slightly, raised his hand to wipe the blood from his cheeks.

He hurriedly took out several pills from his storage ring and swallowed them, but these pills could only slightly stabilize his sea of consciousness.

After all, pills that could truly nourish the sea of consciousness were too precious.

As Li Guanqi got up, he suddenly felt dizzy and almost fell into the void.

His eyes gradually became cold, and his thoughts surged.

"Hmph! I didn't expect that the other party would even anticipate this step."

"What a good calculation!"

Li Guanqi turned to look at Yu Mu; he hadn't lied.

He had said everything he needed to say, and even if he killed him, he wouldn't know the identity and purpose of that mysterious person.

A cold glint flashed in Li Guanqi's eyes, and he raised his hand and directly shattered the nascent soul within his body!!

Bang!!!

Yu Mu, who had been unconscious, was awakened by the sudden burst of pain!!

A miserable scream instantly echoed through the void, his eyes gradually blurred, and he fainted again.

Li Guanqi removed the Thunder Spear, his head aching as if it was about to explode.

Sizzle!!

In the heavy hall, another dark crack suddenly opened.

Immediately afterward, the now-crippled Yu Mu was thrown out from inside, slamming onto the ground with a bang.

The veins on Lu Kangnian's hands, gripping the armrests, bulged, but he resisted the urge to get up.

He turned to look at Li Guanqi with a frown, and he clearly felt Li Guanqi's aura fluctuating violently.

Moreover, his face was as pale as paper and extremely ugly, and he squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice.

"What happened?"

"Your... sea of consciousness is damaged?"

Li Guanqi looked around and didn't find anything unusual about anyone else.

He spoke with slight vigilance: "Sect Leader, let's talk in the study."

Lu Kangnian got up and nodded, dismissing the others.

Li Nantin looked at Li Guanqi with a worried expression, but still followed the Sect Leader's order and left with the others.

The loss of one of the Seven Peaks' Lords, and the betrayal of the Heavenly Wood Peak Lord!

This was undoubtedly shocking news.

The other Peak Lords had no intention of returning to cultivation.

They simply gathered at Li Nantin's courtyard on Heavenly Thunder Peak, and for a time everyone was guessing what was going on.

After everyone left, Qin Xian looked at Yu Mu, who was unconscious on the ground, with a rather complicated expression.

After all, for him, Yu Mu was his junior.

But now...

However, he fully understood Li Guanqi and Lu Kangnian's actions and choices.

And he, as the Great Xia Sword Sect's Law Enforcement Elder, couldn't tolerate someone like Yu Mu!

He grabbed his collar, and with a teleportation, he arrived at the mountainside, and after a few flashes, he threw him outside the Great Xia Sword Sect.

Leaving a trace of his aura beside him, Qin Xian muttered with a dim look: "From now on... just be a mortal..."

Lu Kangnian's study.

"What? Such a thing happened?"

"Why didn't I notice anything at all?"

Lu Kangnian exclaimed in surprise, never expecting that there was someone else behind this matter!!

Li Guanqi frowned and said: "The other party's strength should not be underestimated, at least above you and me!"

"Because Yu Mu's divine sense itself is not too strong, and he has only recently broken through."

"So the intensity of that divine sense attack is equivalent to the mid-Nascent Soul realm."

"Fortunately, my divine sense is relatively strong, so I only suffered some minor injuries."

Speaking of this, Li Guanqi's face gradually became serious.

He looked up at the man in front of him and said in a deep voice: "Sect Leader, if that's really the case, the other party's strength is definitely very strong."

"But what I don't understand is... since the other party is so strong."

"If they are really interested in me, why go to so much trouble?"

Lu Kangnian was also lost in thought, frowning and pondering for a long time before suddenly looking up at Li Guanqi.

"Could it be... that the other party wants to confirm something from you?"

Li Guanqi frowned upon hearing this, and his eyes showed a look of contemplation.

"En? Confirm?"

Suddenly!!

Li Guanqi's heart skipped a beat, as if an invisible hand had grabbed his heart.

Even his heartbeat skipped a beat!!

However, he still looked as usual, and his expression did not fluctuate in the slightest.

Lu Kangnian didn't notice anything unusual, but looked at Li Guanqi and said softly.

"Thank you."

Li Guanqi was silent, and Lu Kangnian must have felt very uncomfortable in his heart after such a thing happened.

The two were silent for a while, and Lu Kangnian asked.

"By the way, what did you say about Cang Lu?"

Li Guanqi's mind was full of thoughts about the mysterious person, so much so that Lu Kangnian said this sentence twice.

"En? What?"

"I said, what about Cang Lu?"

Li Guanqi pondered for a moment and said softly: "It's a small matter, I'll go find him myself later."

Lu Kangnian nodded and waved his hand softly: "Then you can handle it yourself, go back first... I want to be alone for a while."

Li Guanqi got up and didn't say anything, but left him a few jars of strong wine on the table before leaving.
