Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Cang Lu's cultivation time was not long; his childhood was relatively happy, but his family fortunes declined when he was six or seven years old.

The subsequent events also flashed by, and he didn't notice anything abnormal in his memory.

Furthermore, his meeting with himself after reading his memories was also fine; everything was just a coincidence.

With a wave of his hand, he returned Cang Lu's soul to its place and sat aside to take a couple of sips of wine.

Looking at Cang Lu, who was lying in mid-air, his eyes flickered slightly.

With a flick of his finger, an extremely subtle ray of lightning pierced into his sea of consciousness.

After doing all this, Li Guanqi shrugged and muttered, "What's with all this..."

"What am I supposed to say when he wakes up?"

Li Guanqi drank his wine, feeling somewhat depressed.

After a long time, Cang Lu, with a splitting headache, climbed up from the ground.

Anger was suppressed in his eyes as he said in a cold voice.

"Are you satisfied? Did you find the answer you wanted?"

Li Guanqi felt a little embarrassed but still handed over a bottle of pills that could help him stabilize his soul.

It would greatly enhance his cultivation.

"I just don't want the sect to fall into any potential crisis."

"There's one last question."

Cang Lu took the pill, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice.

"Ask!"

There was no emotional fluctuation in Li Guanqi's eyes; his pair of pure white eyes, though seemingly without focus, gave Cang Lu a feeling of being chilled to the bone.

It was as if all his secrets were seen through by the young man standing before him.

Li Guanqi's voice slowly rang in his ears.

"Tell me, why did you not cultivate as a Qin cultivator but instead chose to cultivate the sword?"

Cang Lu breathed a sigh of relief; he thought it would be some complicated question.

He looked at Li Guanqi with a calm expression and said softly, "The killing power of Qin cultivators is too small. I was born with six fingers, making my grip on the sword very steady, so I simply switched to sword cultivation."

Li Guanqi nodded slightly upon hearing this; what Cang Lu said made sense.

After all, as one's strength and realm increase, the sonic attacks of Qin cultivators do become somewhat weak.

He stood up and said softly, "Don't blame me; I would do the same even if it were someone else."

Cang Lu remained silent.

"Alright, there's nothing else. You can go back now."

Cang Lu nodded, not forgetting to bow respectfully before leaving.

After Cang Lu left, Li Guanqi stared at his back for a long time.

Finally, he sighed helplessly and shook his head.

"Could it be that I'm too sensitive..."

Li Guanqi still kept Cang Lu's matter in his heart. Anyway, he wouldn't be leaving during this time, so he might as well observe him further.

But before he could return to Jade Pot Peak, his master, Li Nanting, transmitted a message to him: "Guanqi, what's this about being wary of Cang Lu?"

Li Guanqi put down the jade slip, pondered for a moment, and said softly.

"It's nothing, Master. Maybe I'm just too sensitive."

"In any case... you should keep the thing I left you with you at all times."

Li Nanting's voice came from the jade slip: "Alright, you decide for yourself. Master will support you no matter what."

Li Guanqi could hear the concern in his master's voice.

This feeling made him feel very at ease.

Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered Fortune Village, where he had lived for many years.

"Tsk, I should go back sometime in the future; I miss the guys in the village a bit."

"So many years have passed; I wonder how Wan Shu is doing."

"That girl is really suitable to be taken home as a wife... I just don't know if Uncle Meng would agree..."

With his hands behind his back, he sighed to the sky, feeling a sense of longing to return home.

A flash of light under his feet brought him to Jade Pot Peak, just as dawn was breaking.

Li Guanqi's face was slightly pale; the terrifying divine sense attack from before was no joke.

His sea of consciousness was damaged and could only be slowly healed.

During this time, his strength and realm had also completely stabilized at the early stage of the God Transformation Realm.

The resources needed to reach the peak were extremely terrifying.

Fortunately, he was now considered wealthy and powerful, so normal cultivation was not a problem.

Standing at the peak, Li Guanqi looked at the rising sun in the distance with a strange expression, muttering to himself.

"The Sword Spirit has been dormant for nearly a month. This time is a bit long."

Buzz!!!

Suddenly, a mysterious spatial fluctuation came from the space in front of Li Guanqi.

Lu Kangnian's voice rang in his ears.

"Guanqi, the Spirit Fish Clan has arrived."

Li Guanqi frowned upon hearing this, a sneer forming at the corner of his mouth as he muttered to himself.

"Hmph! They only decided to come after seeing the Great Xia Sword Sect take on the Mo family's affairs?"

"Old fox..."

A flash of light under his feet, and Li Guanqi's figure teleported away, reappearing in the main hall of the Great Xia Sword Sect.

At this time, the seven peak lords were all standing below the high platform; they didn't know about the sudden visit of the Spirit Fish Clan.

Only Li Nanting knew some things, but not everything.

Lu Kangnian looked at Li Guanqi and smiled softly, "Is everything handled?"

Li Guanqi nodded slightly and cupped his hands, "Yes, I haven't found any problems for the time being."

A gleam flashed in Lu Kangnian's eyes upon hearing this.

He could hear the slight caution in Li Guanqi's words; he didn't say that everything was handled, but that he hadn't found any problems for the time being.

In other words, he couldn't confirm whether Cang Lu had any problems.

Thinking of this, Lu Kangnian nodded almost imperceptibly to Qin Xian, and Qin Xian's eyelids twitched to indicate that he understood.

Qin Xian came to the front of the hall at the right time and bowed, "Spirit Fish Clan Chief Yu Bo, a God Transformation Realm demon cultivator, leads eighty-seven members of the Spirit Fish Clan to seek an audience from beyond the territory."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

A look of doubt flashed in everyone's eyes; they didn't know why this demon cultivator wanted to come to the Great Xia Sword Sect.

Li Guanqi briefly recounted everything that had happened before, and everyone finally reacted.

It turned out that the Spirit Fish Clan had come to seek refuge with the Great Xia Sword Sect!

Lu Kangnian's expression was calm as he softly inquired, "Eighty-seven people, what are their realms?"

Qin Xian truthfully replied, "Three God Transformation Realm demon cultivators, fifteen Nascent Soul Realm demon cultivators, forty-odd Golden Core Realm cultivators, and the rest are all Foundation Establishment."

Hiss!!

Everyone was shocked, after all, this force would be a force to be reckoned with anywhere in the Northern Region.

It should be known that the sect leaders of nearby sects are only in the Nascent Soul Realm.

In other words... the power of this Spirit Fish Clan is enough to sweep most of the forces in the Northern Region!

Even though the overall strength of the Azure Cloud Continent is not high in the Great Xia Region, this force is definitely a hegemon in the Northern Region of the Azure Cloud Continent.

At this time, many people were whispering excitedly.

"If the Spirit Fish Clan joins our sect, wouldn't we have a total of ten God Transformation Realm cultivators!!"

"That's right, with three more God Transformation Realm cultivators, our Great Xia Sword Sect will be able to become the number one sect in the Northern Region!!"

"They've already arrived at the door, shouldn't we show the demeanor of a great sect and go out to welcome them?"

"That's right, otherwise, will they think we're neglecting them?"

However, before Lu Kangnian could speak, Li Guanqi suddenly turned his head!

His sharp gaze swept across all directions, his eyes slightly narrowed, and his unquestionable voice suddenly resounded throughout the entire hall!

"Welcome them?"

"Hehe, they are the ones seeking something from us now!"

"Just find a disciple to greet them."

"If they want to join us, we'll see if we agree or not!"

As he said these words, Li Guanqi stood tall and straight like a pine tree, with his hands behind his back, exuding an incomparably powerful confidence!
