Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Li Guanqi led the group through the void, their figures traversing a thousand miles in an instant.

Soon, they returned to the Northern Region of the Azure Cloud Continent.

As they approached the sect, Li Guanqi's heart couldn't help but stir with excitement.

He had been away from the sect for quite some time. He left alone, but he was returning with a full party of five.

The last time he left, he was merely in the Transformation God Realm, but now he had broken through to the Void Refinement Realm.

“Huff…”

Beside him, Ye Feng was also a bit nervous, fidgeting with his hands, seemingly at a loss.

“Boss, why am I so nervous?”

Li Guanqi smiled slightly, “What’s there to be nervous about?”

“It’s nothing… I just feel like I’ve been gone for too long this time, and I haven’t contacted my family. I’m afraid my parents are angry.”

“It’s been several years, and I don’t know how my parents are doing.”

Li Guanqi glanced at Ye Feng and slapped him on the head.

“Don’t worry, your parents are doing well. I went to see them once when I came back before.”

“Ah? Boss, you even went to see my parents?”

“Yeah, there was a small matter at the time, so I took care of it on the way.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng lowered his head and remained silent for a while. He wanted to say something to express his gratitude, but he felt it would be too formal.

Scratching his head, he grinned and said, “Hehe, as expected of my boss, you know how to care for me.”

“I wonder how my cheap master is doing.”

Li Guanqi burst into laughter upon hearing this.

“Elder Tu probably doesn’t know that the cheap disciple he picked up is now a Void Refinement Realm expert.”

The group chatted and laughed, and soon they arrived within the territory of the Great Xia Sword Sect!

The surrounding environment also changed slightly, with the concentration of spiritual energy noticeably increasing.

Moreover, there were more birds and beasts around, and occasionally, the sounds of beasts roaring could be heard.

These demonic beasts were not of high strength, and there seemed to be formations and restrictions within those mountains.

Steep peaks stood tall like stone pillars all around.

Winding rivers, like the black hair of a beauty, scattered across the land, shimmering in the sunlight.

As they ventured deeper, the surrounding scenery gradually became more prosperous.

On the large and small mountains, there seemed to be sects located there.

Li Guanqi frowned slightly, wondering when these sects had appeared, as he didn’t even know.

Building sects so close to the Great Xia Sword Sect…

“Hmph!”

Li Guanqi snorted coldly, feeling somewhat worried.

He feared that the sect had declined during his absence and was being bullied.

However, at that moment, an invisible barrier suddenly appeared in front of Li Guanqi and his group!

Li Guanqi frowned instantly. This range… it was at least a hundred miles away from the sect.

How could his sect possibly have the financial resources to support a restricted barrier covering a hundred miles?

Countless bad thoughts flashed through Li Guanqi’s mind.

Ye Feng beside him suddenly said, “Boss, why don’t… we try the token?”

Li Guanqi frowned and took out a purple jade slip.

“Huh????? Boss, why is your jade slip a bit different from mine?”

Li Guanqi looked at the simple jade slip in Ye Feng’s hand and said somewhat awkwardly.

“Ahem… well, I’m an elder now, so our jade slips might be a bit different.”

Ye Feng’s eyes widened and he exclaimed, “What exactly did you do when you came back last time?!”

“You’ve already become an elder??”

Xiao Chen curled his lips and said, “Brother Ye, I have to say, you can’t have this kind of mentality.”

“You’re clearly afraid that your brother is suffering, but even more afraid that your brother is doing better than you…”

Meng Wanshu covered her mouth and smiled, feeling that they were all like children who hadn’t grown up.

Buzz!!!!

Li Guanqi slowly pressed the jade slip against the barrier, and the invisible barrier space suddenly burst out with extremely strong spatial power!!

The barrier flickered with the light of the five elements, creating ripples.

Immediately afterward, the barrier burst out with fluorescent light, opening a hundred-foot gap!!

The moment the barrier opened, Li Guanqi and his group were all stunned in place!!

A white jade road paved in the air stretched for hundreds of feet.

The wide white jade road was a full thirty feet wide, and many figures stood not far away.

Sect Leader Lu Kangnian, Ling Daoyan, Qin Xian, Master, Mistress, the eight peak masters…

All the eight peak elders, inner and outer sect deacons, and enshrined elders within the sect were present.

Behind them were densely packed Great Xia Sword Sect disciples standing on both sides!

After sensing the aura of these people, Li Guanqi’s eyes turned slightly red, and he felt a slight tingling in his nose.

Boom!!!

Lu Kangnian stepped forward, cupping his hands in a fist salute!

All the disciples saluted in unison, and Lu Kangnian, with a smile on his face, loudly proclaimed.

“Welcome, Great Xia Sword Sect Elder, Li Guanqi… after weathering ten thousand miles of wind and frost, finally returning to the sect!”

In an instant, the loud shouts converged, shaking the heavens!

Within a three-hundred-mile radius of the Great Xia Sword Sect, all the sect leaders and elders within the nearby sects rose into the air.

Flying slightly lower than a hundred feet, they echoed in loud voices!

For a time, the sound of returning to the sect echoed unceasingly in the mountains and rivers.

Li Guanqi’s heart surged, and his emotions were stirred.

Having been away for so long, although he wouldn’t admit it, he knew at this moment.

He, who had been wandering outside… missed home.

Li Guanqi grinned, and with a wave of his hand, he and Ye Feng changed into the sect’s robes.

Lowering his head to straighten his clothes, his Yuan Power surged, washing away the dust of travel.

With a solemn expression, he slowly stepped forward, clasping his hands in a fist salute, performing the disciple’s salute, and bowing in return.

“Great Xia Sword Sect, Heavenly Lightning Peak disciple Li Guanqi, returns to the sect!”

Ye Feng’s eyes were red at this moment. Looking at one familiar face after another, the longing in his heart also erupted.

Under the surge of emotions, he couldn’t hide his true feelings.

“Great Xia Sword Sect, Heavenly Gold Peak disciple Ye Feng, returns to the sect!!”

At this time, there were three thousand Great Xia Sword Sect disciples, almost all of whom were capable of flying on swords!

Everyone looked at the figure in the sky with excited expressions.

Because that was the idol they all admired, and occasionally they could learn some news about him from the sect elders.

But every word sounded like a fantasy to them.

A senior brother who had only entered the sect a few years earlier than them had already become a powerful expert!

Turning his hand to create clouds, turning his hand to create rain!

Even in other domains, he drew his sword without fear!

“Ah!!! Senior Brother Li is so handsome!! It is said that his current realm is even stronger than the sect leader!!”

“Definitely! It is said that Senior Brother Li has just returned from the Divine Treasure Domain. What do you think about that matter…”

“Shh! Be careful what you say.”

The surrounding discussions arose one after another. All the sect disciples were extremely excited after seeing Li Guanqi.

They listened to Li Guanqi’s legendary stories, and their hearts were filled with infinite longing and yearning.

Lu Kangnian quickly stepped forward to help the two up. When he saw the people behind Li Guanqi, the corners of his mouth almost reached the back of his ears.

Winking at Li Guanqi, he laughed loudly, “Hahahaha, alright, let’s all go to the main hall to talk.”
