Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

At the same time, Duan Xian, having left the blood pool, returned to his own chambers.

The entire chamber, constructed from blood-colored giant stones, was hundreds of feet in size, yet it was only a single chamber.

Within the domain, besides the mountains and blood pool, there was only this one blood-colored hall.

And a cultivation area constructed with a massive blood-colored dome.

From this, it seems Duan Xian is a person of extremely little material desire.

His world contains only the goal he wishes to achieve, nothing more.

Once he has a goal, he is like a lone wolf, possessing patience that is difficult for ordinary people to match.

Returning to the hall, Duan Xian looked at the incessantly flickering blood-colored spiritual light and murmured to himself.

"It seems that the reason Li Guanqi is able to rapidly increase his strength and realm must be inextricably linked to the Seventh Domain."

"The Eight Generals all respect him greatly; it seems the Great Xia Sword Sect has truly found a treasure…"

"But… will you adhere to the ancestral teachings you have upheld for ten thousand years?"

"The current Great Xia Sword Sect Master, Lu Kangnian, has a close relationship with Li Guanqi, which can be exploited."

"And the other half of the Spirit Burning Ring… that old, undying bastard, he wouldn't say where it was even in death!!!"

"Damn it… the signs of power going berserk are becoming more and more serious; I can't delay any longer."

Before Duan Xian was a complex web of relationships, with Li Guanqi and Lu Kangnian at the very center!

Ideas flashed through his mind, only to be rejected one by one by Duan Xian.

Suddenly, the corners of Duan Xian's mouth turned up slightly, and he pointed his finger at the name 'Cloud Gazing Pavilion,' muttering.

"Since you are so smart, you should know about me soon, right?"

"Hehe…"

A hoarse, strange laugh rang out, and Duan Xian disappeared from the hall in a flash.

Then his figure soared into the sky, and in an instant, boundless flames surged forth!

The Great Xia Sword Sect disciples in the blood pool were shaken by this scene, watching the blood-colored flames engulf the sky, not knowing what that man intended to do.

Immediately afterward, Duan Xian pressed down with both hands, and the terrifying power of the flames instantly merged into the earth and mountains.

Even more flames merged into the blood pool where the Great Xia Sword Sect disciples were located!!

As the flames went down, they could feel the terrifyingly scorching temperature as they passed by their sides.

But these flames did not harm them, instead hiding at the bottom of the blood pool.

The bottom of the blood pool, several feet deep, was instantly filled with fire, and a strange and mysterious blood-colored flame formation slowly concealed itself within.

Afterward, Duan Xian grabbed a young man who had just entered the sect from the blood pool.

Without a word, Duan Xian broke his limbs!! Then, carrying the young man, he turned and left.

Great Xia Sword Sect, Heavenly Pillar Peak, Scripture Pavilion.

Ling Daoyan and Li Guanqi were frantically flipping through ancient books.

Li Guanqi wanted to find more information about Duan Xian; know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.

He currently knew too little about Duan Xian, who had been hiding in the dark; this feeling of being out of control was too unpleasant.

The floor was covered with densely packed ancient books; the Scripture Pavilion contained many notes from former offering elders and others.

Finding some traces from these clues was like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Li Guanqi released his divine sense and began to frantically scan all the ancient books.

Suddenly, Li Guanqi extracted an ancient book from them.

The four words 'Spirit Burning Ancient Ring' suddenly caught his eye.

Li Guanqi continued to flip through, and inside was a note from an Elder Wang.

"Hey, today Duan Xian actually broke through to the Golden Core Realm; his cultivation speed is truly astonishing."

"The Sect Master bestowed the upper half of the Spirit Burning Ancient Ring upon Duan Xian as encouragement."

Li Guanqi narrowed his eyes, flipping through quickly, but there was no more information until the end.

Li Guanqi said in a deep voice, "Find this elder's notes!!"

Ling Daoyan nodded slightly, and finally, with the efforts of the two, they found two more books.

However, these two books had a huge span, almost several hundred years.

They also mentioned Duan Xian's changes, being expelled from the sect after his limbs were broken and his cultivation was abolished.

Until later, this elder's notes wrote again.

"The Sect Master went out and was assassinated by a mysterious person; the Sect Master's token was lost, and the sect was in panic…"

"The new Sect Master took office, and that mysterious person actually destroyed thirty peaks within the sect! Why is this?"

Li Guanqi's breathing stagnated, and he slowly closed the notes!

It seems… he had already found what Duan Xian sought!

A former sect master of Li Guanqi was actually assassinated by Duan Xian?

"No… if that's the case, Duan Xian's so-called revenge is just a smokescreen!!"

"The Sect Master who had a feud with him had already been assassinated, and the Sect Master's token was taken away by him."

"It seems the secret hidden among the three thousand wondrous peaks and eight hundred beautiful rivers has been discovered by him…"

"Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Guanqi looked at Ling Daoyan and said in a deep voice.

"Elder Ling, I'm going to see the Sect Master."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Guanqi instantly disappeared from the spot, teleporting to Heavenly Sword Peak and finding Lu Kangnian.

With a wave of his hand, he placed a layer of barrier around them.

Lu Kangnian, seeing him arrive, quickly asked, "Are there any clues?"

Li Guanqi handed several ancient books and notes to the man and said in a deep voice.

"Based on the existing information, I'm sure he will threaten the Sect Master with the lives of the sect's disciples to hand over the Spirit Burning Ancient Ring to him!"

Lu Kangnian, putting down the ancient books, paused slightly, pondered for a long time, and couldn't help but whisper.

"What's a Spirit Burning Ancient Ring?"

"I don't know… it's not in the sect's treasure vault!"

This time it was Li Guanqi's turn to be dumbfounded.

He believed Lu Kangnian wouldn't lie to him; such things were no joke.

"Sect Master, are you sure it's not there?"

Lu Kangnian couldn't help but say, "Nonsense, the Great Xia Sword Sect was so poor in previous years."

"I know the sect's assets like the back of my hand; I can recite them to you with my eyes closed. Where would a Spirit Burning Ancient Ring come from?"

Looking at the man's secretive appearance, Li Guanqi really couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Sighing, Li Guanqi said in a deep voice, "Can you take me to see it?"

Lu Kangnian's eyes lit up, and he stood up and smiled.

"Of course, I've wanted you to see it for a long time."

"But you probably won't like these things now."

Lu Kangnian closed his eyes, and spiritual light flashed in his hands; the Sect Master's token on his chest floated in the air.

Buzz!!

After a series of complex and mysterious hand seals, a crack of spiritual light appeared in front of the two.

Li Guanqi followed Lu Kangnian slowly into it.

Buzz!!

The crack disappeared, and the hall returned to silence.

But then Li Guanqi suddenly turned his head!

A strange probing wave was blocked by the barrier he had set up.

Li Guanqi murmured as he walked into the crack at the last moment.

"Couldn't resist it, huh? Heh, anxious."

A faint blood light did not dissipate, but slowly disappeared as if provoking Li Guanqi to discover the Great Xia Sword Sect's actions.

But the other party's methods were indeed clever.

Because…

Peng Luo crawled out of the crack, with a head just appearing in front of Lu Kangnian.
