Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Watching Yan Chong, his eyes brimming with tears, Li Guanqi could truly empathize with him from the bottom of his heart.

Back then… he was the same.

Reaching out, he pulled the woman from Yan Chong's embrace to his side, placing a small fragment of Pengluo into her mouth.

Instantly, waves of immense medicinal power spread within her body, and her injuries healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Yan Chong's tense nerves finally relaxed, and he closed his eyes, collapsing towards the ground.

Li Guanqi reached out to support him, rummaging through his storage ring for a long time but unable to find a healing pill suitable for the Golden Core realm.

The other pills he had were too potent; if he gave them to Yan Chong, they might cause him to explode from excessive energy.

Then, he took out dozens of other storage rings from his own storage ring—he couldn't even remember looting these from the people he had killed.

Finally, he found some healing pills in a purple storage ring.

He took the two of them to a mountaintop, and after a short while, Yan Chong groggily awoke.

When he saw the figure sitting on the mountaintop drinking, his heart gradually calmed, and looking at the peacefully breathing woman, the anxiety in his heart finally subsided.

Li Guanqi looked at Yan Chong beside him and smiled, "Want a drink?"

The two chatted for a while, and Li Guanqi learned that Yan Chong was a disciple of the previous generation of the Great Xia Sword Sect, specifically the thirty-eighth generation.

Seeing him looking troubled, Li Guanqi couldn't help but ask,

"What's wrong? You still seem to have something on your mind."

Yan Chong said, "Maybe we should leave first. The Golden Snake Gate's power is too great; they'll find us soon enough."

He took a deep look at Li Guanqi, ultimately swallowing the words he wanted to say.

Li Guanqi shrugged indifferently and said, "It's fine."

"By the way, why were you being chased?"

"Just tell me what's going on."

Yan Chong also learned from the conversation that Li Guanqi was a disciple of the thirty-ninth generation of the Great Xia Sword Sect, having joined a few years later than him.

It had been more than ten years since he, in the Golden Core realm, had left the sect.

"Ah… it's a long story."

"Yu Qin and I found a three-hundred-year-old Rakshasa Crimson Demon Flower in the cave of a powerful demon beast."

"After a fierce battle to kill the demon beast, we were ambushed by the people of the Golden Snake Gate!"

"Qin'er was seriously injured to save me, and originally, that would have been the end of it."

"But on the run, I heard something else!"

Li Guanqi frowned slightly and asked in a low voice, "What is it?"

Yan Chong sighed softly and said in a deep voice.

"I heard that the son of the Golden Snake Gate's master, Fu Dongsheng, Fu An, had his cultivation crippled."

"The entire Golden Snake Gate sent out several Nascent Soul realm great power cultivators, who spent half a month catching the person and bringing them back."

Li Guanqi frowned and said in a deep voice, "Just get to the point, who did they catch?"

Yan Chong, hearing this, didn't explain further and said in a deep voice.

"The thirty-fifth generation Peak Master of Heavenly Water Peak of the Great Xia Sword Sect, Elder Tu Shan!"

Boom!!!

As soon as the words fell, an incredibly powerful pressure erupted from Li Guanqi's body!!

That pressure seemed to have the power to destroy the heavens and the earth, and Yan Chong felt like a lone boat in the sea.

Drifting in Li Guanqi's pressure, he was in danger of capsizing at any moment!!

Li Guanqi slowly敛威, and the killing intent around his body surged wildly!!

"Tu Shan…"

If he remembered correctly, this elder of the Great Xia Sword Sect had returned once before.

Moreover, it was rumored later that this elder and Sect Master Lu Kangnian had many unclear sentiments between them.

Li Guanqi took a deep breath, a cold smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and he slowly stood up.

With a wave of his hand, he threw two pills to Yan Chong.

The youth was stunned by the two Nascent Soul pills in front of him.

"Brother Li, this isn't appropriate… this… this is too precious!"

Li Guanqi smiled and said, "Take them. One day, you will also grow to a more powerful realm."

"I hope Senior Brother always remembers the sect's teachings and be an upright person."

"In the future, if you encounter sect disciples traveling abroad, you can also draw your sword to help them without hesitation!"

Yan Chong stood up, cupped his fist in salute, and in his heart, he had some vague guesses about Li Guanqi's identity, but he was afraid to believe them.

"Yan Chong will never regret joining the sect! If he encounters fellow disciples in trouble in the future, he will never stand idly by!"

Li Guanqi smiled and nodded, his figure teleporting away from the spot.

Watching Li Guanqi's departing figure, a glint flashed in Yan Chong's eyes, and he murmured in a low voice.

"When did the Great Xia Sword Sect produce such a terrifying evildoer?"

"It's been too long since I paid attention to the affairs of the Great Xia Domain…"

Above an unnamed mountain range, the winding mountains below resembled a spiritual snake.

Li Guanqi looked down at the earth below with icy eyes, and with a wave of his hand, the colors of the sky and earth changed.

Heavy dark clouds seemed to be a precursor to a storm.

Rumble!

Boom! Crackle!!

Dark clouds rolled, purple lightning flashed, and thunder jumped in the surging clouds.

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth was like a runaway, and the earth within dozens of miles was shaking madly.

Amidst the earth-shattering movements, the demon beasts in the mountains lay on the ground, whimpering in fear.

Golden Snake Gate.

Swish swish swish swish!!

Dozens of figures teleported into the void one after another.

Everyone looked up at the sky, where a figure in white stood in the void hundreds of feet above.

A man in a black python robe slowly rose into the air.

The man had a head of short, neat hair.

He had triangular eyes and a hooked nose, with a cold temperament, and looked like a ruthless person.

Half-step Void Refinement Realm!

But at this time, Fu Dongsheng couldn't detect any aura from the other party!

Smiling, Fu Dongsheng slowly stepped forward two steps, smiling and cupping his hands.

"This fellow Daoist, I wonder what brings you to my Golden Snake Gate?"

After speaking, Fu Dongsheng's Yuan power surged, and his majestic aura erupted.

Turning his head to look at the constantly surging thunder in the void, he was also frightened in his heart.

"Damn it, it's actually a thunder cultivator known for his killing power!"

"What is it for… recently, there is nothing that can provoke a strong person of this level…"

The corner of Li Guanqi's mouth curled slightly, and his terrifying divine sense surged towards the Golden Snake Gate!

Fu Dongsheng's face instantly turned gloomy, and the other party's behavior was tantamount to slapping him in the face in front of him!!

Boom!!!

As his sea of consciousness hummed, he tried to stop the other party, but facing the other party's divine sense, he was only shaken by a single contact!!

The terrifying divine sense almost destroyed his sea of consciousness!

If he hadn't reacted quickly and instantly cut off the connection of his divine sense, he would probably have been seriously injured by now!

Aura flashed above the Golden Snake Gate, and the array screen trembled frantically, rippling violently.

Boom!! Crackle!!

In just a moment, the thick array barrier shattered!

Almost instantly, he found the woman who was seriously injured and imprisoned in the dungeon, almost unconscious!!

"This fellow Daoist!!! You are provoking our entire Golden Snake Gate!!"

Fu Dongsheng couldn't bear it any longer, and with a clang, he suddenly drew his sword and pointed it at Li Guanqi!

At the same time, several mountain peaks within the Golden Snake Gate trembled madly, and several figures broke through their seclusion.

Seeing that Tu Shan was fine, Li Guanqi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

His right hand swiped across the void, and terrifying power instantly moved Tu Shan out of the sealed dungeon!

Glancing sideways at the imposing Fu Dongsheng, with a wave of his hand, the clouds surged, and thousands of thunderbolts condensed into a hundred-zhang thunder sword above Li Guanqi's head!!!

His voice was calm as he spoke.

"What did you say? Louder!!"
