Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

"Li Guanqi, don't come to save me."

These seven short words weighed on Li Guanqi's chest like seven massive mountains.

Only now did he realize how important Tang Ru was to him.

Even though they didn't contact each other often, he couldn't deny that Tang Ru had helped him a lot when he was at his lowest point.

It seemed like he had taken advantage, but in reality, Tang Ru had been under immense pressure to help him back then.

Although it almost harmed him, Li Guanqi never blamed Tang Ru for what happened.

Regarding the Ziyang Hall incident, if Tang Ru hadn't taken off his robe and thrown it on the snow, telling him what had happened...

Huff...

Li Guanqi sat on the mountaintop, taking several deep breaths to calm his turbulent emotions.

He clutched the jade slip, realizing that Tang Ru had already shattered his own, making it impossible to contact him.

His shoulders slumped slightly as he took out a jar of strong liquor from his storage ring and broke the seal.

The fiery liquor burned as it flowed down his throat into his stomach.

Crystals of liquor spilled from the corner of his mouth as Li Guanqi finished the jar in one gulp, wiping his mouth clean with his sleeve.

His eyes were bloodshot, and his face was extremely gloomy as he took out another jade slip, his voice frighteningly calm.

"Tell me, what have you been doing."

After a moment, a familiar male voice came from the jade slip.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect something like this to happen."

Li Guanqi suppressed the anger in his heart and asked again in a cold voice.

"I'm asking you what you're doing right now!!! Why couldn't I reach you all this time!!"

Silence. Ji Yuchuan said softly, "I'm sorry, I can't tell you right now."

Li Guanqi stood up abruptly, roaring as he clutched the jade slip.

"I don't need you to apologize to me!!!!!"

"Ji Yuchuan! From now on, you are no longer the Vice Pavilion Master of Guanyun Pavilion!!"

"The hell with the century-old agreement! Screw it!!"

Furious, Li Guanqi threw the jade slip away, several bolts of lightning shattering it.

This time, Li Guanqi was genuinely angry. He didn't know why Ji Yuchuan had gone silent...

...and even used a method that was almost like hiding things from him!

Ji Yuchuan stood at the entrance of the Tianji Pavilion and sighed, finally turning and leaving, tearing through space.

He had to rush back now, taking out a jade slip and saying in a deep voice.

"Senior Gu, I need to return to the Great Xia Domain immediately. We'll discuss the Tianji Map next time."

After speaking, Ji Yuchuan's eyes flickered as he looked behind him, a hint of vigilance flashing in his eyes.

His deep gaze seemed to penetrate endless distances, seeing an old man sitting at his desk, writing.

Ji Yuchuan's lips curved slightly, smiling as he stopped thinking about the things that were bothering him.

But the thought of the angry Li Guanqi gave him a headache.

How could he receive messages when he was in the teleportation channel…

Turning around and entering the teleportation channel again, Ji Yuchuan hurried back to Guanyun Pavilion.

In a void hidden who knows how deep, in the dust hidden in the chaotic storm, there was a whole other world.

The iconic black buildings revealed everything. A man with a strange mask on his face glanced at Lu Hengtian, demonic energy surging around him as he sneered.

"What a waste, you only managed to capture this many people."

"And what's the use of this fatso?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Hengtian and Zhu Ying's expressions turned ugly.

The red-robed man extended his palm, and Lu Hengtian quickly took out the previous formation disk, offering it with both hands.

The man took the formation disk, coldly snorting, "Go inside and wait for news."

"It's not certain whether the leader will give you a chance to transform. What about that fatso?"

Lu Hengtian and Zhu Ying both breathed a sigh of relief, lifting their hands and throwing out Tang Ru, who was covered in blood.

The fat man on the ground stared intently at the people before him, his mouth full of blood...

The red-robed man frowned. Lu Hengtian explained with a smile.

"This guy wanted to kill himself, so I simply sealed his cultivation and tore out his tongue."

The masked man's eyes flickered, a few wrinkles appearing at the corners of his eyes.

He raised his foot and stepped on Tang Ru's wrist, and the sound of bones shattering suddenly rang out!!

Crack! Crack crack!!

The crushed wrist was a bloody mess, almost completely severing it!

"Ugh!! Mmm!!"

Tang Ru twisted his body desperately, his face contorted, cold sweat pouring down.

The man sneered, "Since you're going to do it, why not do it more thoroughly?"

"You're still holding back. As long as he doesn't die, that's all that matters."

Then, the man struck out swiftly, instantly breaking all four of Tang Ru's limbs!!

Only bloody shreds of flesh remained of his right hand, still attached to his wrist!!

The slender man bent down, reaching out to drag Tang Ru by the hair towards the back hall.

After the man left, Zhu Ying finally gasped for breath.

The pressure from the other party was too intense, making it hard for her to breathe.

The old woman leaned close to Lu Hengtian, transmitting her voice in a deep tone, "What... what level is he in the organization?"

Lu Hengtian also let out a long breath, saying in a deep voice, "He should be the highest level, Wraith!"

"As for the final person in power, Fiend... at the very least, they should be a half-step Transcending Tribulation!!"

Then, the old man sighed, saying in a deep voice, "Forget it, these things are beyond our consideration!"

"As long as we can transform, from now on, you and I won't have to face the Reincarnation Tribulation, hiding and running away! Hahahaha!!"

"Such a good thing is what countless people dream of..."

The two of them looked excited, walking side by side towards the main hall, feeling uneasy and nervous.

Squeak!!!

The eerie doors of the main hall opened wide, and a beautiful woman with a cold temperament walked out from the hall.

Her sweeping black dress was incomparably luxurious, and a black light flashed between the woman's brows.

Her beautiful eyes glanced at the two of them indifferently before quickly leaving.

Lu Hengtian frowned as he watched the woman leave, not expecting such a young woman to have the aura of the mid-stage of the Refining Void Realm.

The main hall was quiet, and an eerie green light burned in the empty hall.

Faintly, the two of them could see a man in a blood-red robe sitting on a huge throne!

An inexplicable pressure enveloped the two of them, and their heads lowered even further.

Bowing, they came to the center of the main hall and knelt down with a thud.

The eyes under the mask were extremely calm, unable to discern joy or sorrow.

"You two are truly useless. Even with the formation disk, you couldn't find Ye Feng and the others."

Lu Hengtian's heart trembled, and he quickly explained, "A man intervened halfway. I... I was afraid of ruining your great plan, Leader, so I left in a hurry."

The man sneered, "Of course I know Nether intervened. If I hadn't acted at the last moment, you would have all been left behind!"

"It's a bit of a pity that Yu Chang'an died..."

"But it would be strange if he didn't die. After all... Nether hates effeminate people the most."

For some reason, when the old woman heard these words, she felt that the man's tone was somewhat playful.

There seemed to be an inexplicable and profound meaning hidden within.
