Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

"Brother Zhao, what have you been up to lately?"

"What else? Don't bother me, I'm at the Hundred Treasures Pavilion claiming my magic item!!"

"I'm claiming mine at the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, want to team up later?"

"Sounds good!"

"Hahahaha, my fire spiritual root makes me naturally sensitive to demonic energy, this stroke of incredible fortune is definitely mine!!"

"Get lost! I'm definitely the one who'll find it!"

Li Guanqi sat cross-legged in the Purple Spirit Grotto-heaven, with Nine Heavens silently guarding the area.

In another mysterious realm.

Lu Kangnian looked solemnly at a white-robed figure sitting in a thunder pool.

The thunder pool roared, and violent lightning elemental energy surged like a tide, constantly impacting the figure.

The figure sitting deep within the thunder pool trembled, as if enduring boundless pain.

His brows were furrowed, and he bit his teeth, determined to persevere.

Purple Spirit Grotto-heaven.

Before Li Guanqi was a scroll a hundred zhang wide, covered with countless dense light spots moving rapidly.

With the appearance of these light spots, one after another black flames ignited.

The moment the flames appeared, several brighter light spots would quickly move towards the black flame.

Then the black flame would explode, turning into countless black light spots that scattered and fled.

Li Guanqi narrowed his eyes, his vast divine sense manipulating the Heavenly Secrets Map to record all the directions in which the black light spots disappeared.

Relying on his powerful divine sense, he deduced the possible location of the Shadow Organization's lair.

The powerful influence of the Three Pavilions had drawn in almost all the clan forces of the Six Domains.

Not only the Six Domains' clans, but even the ancient clans of the mortal realm were no exception.

In this time of impending chaos, all clan forces hoped to obtain the massive resources offered by the Three Pavilions' bounty.

Such a quantity of spirit stones was enough to elevate any clan force to a higher level in an instant!!

The number of cultivators in the Six Domains now participating in the search for traces of the Abyssal Demons numbered in the hundreds of millions!!

Li Guanqi looked at the gradually clearer pattern before him and murmured, "You still haven't made your move? Then I'll force you to your death!!"

Bang!

A jade slip shattered, and Li Guanqi said coldly, "Increase the bounty! Anyone who can find the Shadow Organization's main hall will be rewarded with a set of Heaven-Rank Peak-Grade sword techniques!"

Boom!!

The news spread like wildfire throughout the Six Domains. Cultivators flying among the mountains with compass magic tools in hand pulled out the jade slips or pendants from their waists.

"Heaven-Rank sword techniques!!! Heaven-Rank Peak-Grade!!! This is insane..."

"Now, I'm afraid all the cultivators in the Six Domains will throw themselves into this."

For a time, more cultivators joined in, and some even offered a sky-high price of five million high-grade spirit stones for a single array plate!!

One must know that these compasses were distributed free of charge by the Three Pavilions.

There were only three thousand of them in total.

But there were so many cultivators trying to find the Shadow Organization that there definitely weren't enough compasses.

At this time, the clans of the Six Domains mobilized their connections to find the whereabouts of the compasses, and not only that...

Some cultivators holding compasses began to disappear inexplicably, and many suspected that someone was taking action.

In the main hall of the Shadow Organization, a man sat on a throne, with a footrest made of dense white bones.

The eyes beneath his mask gleamed with excitement.

"Haha, interesting, as expected of someone with a mind like a demon."

"But... do you think you can find me with just this trick?"

"Naive... too naive."

As he spoke, Sha hooked his fingers, and more than a dozen red-robed cultivators appeared in the hall.

The man said with a playful tone.

"Since they've made their move, let's make ours too."

"Go, have the clans we control spread the word, offering a high price of ten million spirit stones to buy back the compasses!!"

"I want to see what kind of thing Meng Jiangchu has created."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately hesitated and said, "Lord, do we really need to buy them for ten million spirit stones? Or just release the news?"

The man frowned, and with a wave of his hand, a blood-colored spear instantly condensed and shot out!!

The violent pressure suppressed the entire hall, and the spear pierced through the speaker, pinning him to the stone pillar of the hall.

"Don't you understand my words?"

"If we don't really buy them, how will others believe us?"

"If we don't really buy them, how the hell am I supposed to see the array plate Meng Jiangchu made?"

With a wave of his hand, he dismissed everyone.

In the Purple Spirit Grotto-heaven, Qianqiushui stood beside Li Guanqi with a look of apprehension.

"The Nine Heavens Palace of Dao Chan Domain is spending ten million spirit stones to buy compasses?"

Li Guanqi frowned, feeling uneasy when he heard this news.

"If that's the case, wouldn't many cultivators have already started selling their compasses?"

Qianqiushui raised her hand and conjured a light screen, the jade pendant in her hand gleaming.

She said with a grim expression, "That's right, the information walls of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, and our Cloud Gazing Pavilion are full of this kind of news."

Li Guanqi glanced at it indifferently, seeing at a glance that there were tens of thousands of messages seeking to buy compasses, with prices reaching ten million or even fifteen million.

Without exception, most of these purchase messages were false, but there were also some powerful forces mixed in.

Qianqiushui looked at Li Guanqi with some surprise, she didn't see the slightest panic in his eyes.

It was as if he had anticipated all of this.

Li Guanqi had a faint smile on his lips and said softly.

"They've made their move? That's good..."

With a wave of his hand, Li Guanqi took out a jade slip and said in a deep voice, "Father-in-law, I'll have to trouble you to make a trip to the Nine Heavens Palace, as well as the Purple Swallow Hall and Sky Cloud Island."

Soon, Meng Jiangchu's voice came from the jade slip.

"Don't worry, I'll set off immediately!"

Qianqiushui frowned and said, "What are you going to do with these three forces?"

Li Guanqi said casually, "These three forces were the first to buy them, and at least one of them is a force controlled by Sha!"

Then Li Guanqi said indifferently, "It doesn't matter, pass down the order."

"All compasses cannot be transferred, and the compasses contracted to a cultivator will be completely invalid after being transferred. Cultivators above the Refinement Void Realm or clan forces can go to the Three Pavilions to receive them individually."

Qianqiushui's eyes lit up, she didn't expect that Li Guanqi had already thought of everything here!!

His every step seemed to be calculated by him.

His proud and upright figure stood before the Heavenly Secrets Map, his hands behind his back, his eyes firm and confident.

Black lines seemed to be converging at a certain place, but still couldn't find any trace.

Now, the great war in the Six Domains continues, and many Abyssal Demons who traveled in remote mountainous areas and massacred villages and towns have been discovered and killed.

Li Guanqi narrowed his eyes and murmured, "It seems... you should be taking the next step, right?"

Turning to look at Qianqiushui, he asked softly, "Where is Senior Ye Xuan now?"

The woman bowed and replied, "Senior Ye Xuan is now at the peak of Heavenly Sword Peak, and the four ink dragons have been sent back to the Nine Dragons Immortal Sect."

Li Guanqi's eyes flickered, and he murmured, "Gu Li should be coming back soon, right?"
