Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Seeing the frail-looking Peng Luo, Yan Ling hurriedly enveloped it with flames.

It took a good while for Peng Luo to recover.

Peng Luo, with a purplish-blue face, knelt on the ground, gasping for breath.

But Yan Ling frowned slightly.

Because he discovered that Peng Luo was undergoing some changes in the process of repeatedly devouring the flesh of the Ghost-Masked Spider.

Peng Luo's poison resistance was gradually increasing.

Peng Luo waved its hand and burrowed into the sword coffin space.

That broken meat really didn't taste good. If it weren't to reassure Yan Ling, it wouldn't bother doing this.

The reason it's being so nice to Yan Ling now is entirely because of Li Guanqi.

Because Li Guanqi's attitude towards Yan Ling before was very cold.

This also led to Peng Luo not daring to get too close to Yan Ling.

But for some reason, in the past few days, a subtle change has occurred in the relationship between the two.

Soon, Li Guanqi woke up from his cultivation.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Yan Ling behind him refining the power of the demon core and pouring it into himself.

Li Guanqi smiled and said softly, "Alright, absorb some of the demon core's power yourself to consolidate your origin."

"I'll take care of the rest."

Yan Ling hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly. Then, Li Guanqi tore through space and placed the heavily injured Ye Xuan and Ye Bingxin on the ground.

He called out softly, "Peng Luo."

A purple-faced Peng Luo poked its head out.

"What? What's up?"

Li Guanqi frowned slightly.

"What's wrong with you…"

Yan Ling spoke up from behind, "Ate spider meat, got poisoned, um… hardened."

Peng Luo immediately felt a little embarrassed.

It ate some detoxifying pills and spiritual herbs in the sword coffin space.

It had recovered seventy to eighty percent by now.

Li Guanqi found it amusing; this was something Peng Luo could do.

He looked down at the Nine Heavens wrapped around his arm and gently patted it.

"Do you have any stock left? Stabilize their injuries first."

Peng Luo reluctantly took out some dried radish.

Li Guanqi said in annoyance, seeing this.

"Take out some plump ones! You're addicted to breaking off your own fingers."

"Besides, I don't know if you've been staying with Gu Li for too long."

"He hoards seal characters, and you hoard fingers, huh?"

Peng Luo was embarrassed when it realized it had been exposed and scratched its head.

"Hehe, I think Old Sixth makes sense!"

"Having more in storage is just in case…"

After speaking, Peng Luo hurriedly took out two crystal-clear fingers.

Li Guanqi shook his head helplessly; these guys together were really a headache.

"Break off less; you'll lose some essence no matter how little you break off."

Peng Luo grinned foolishly and nodded in response.

"Okay, okay, I got it."

Peng Luo, who had burrowed back in, felt warm inside; anyone else would wish it would break off some every day.

Perhaps only Li Guanqi would care about it so much.

Li Guanqi stuffed the radish into the mouths of the father and daughter.

Ye Bingxin's injuries immediately recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Li Guanqi thought for a moment and took out a magic robe to cover the woman.

After a while, a Gu worm resembling a centipede crawled out of Ye Xuan's mouth.

Yan Ling's eyes flashed, and he incinerated it with a fire.

Soon, Ye Xuan slowly woke up, his dantian empty, extremely weak.

The Yuan energy fluctuations were extremely violent. By the time it stabilized, his realm had fallen to the late stage of the Great Ascension Realm.

If Li Guanqi hadn't taken action, his realm would probably have dropped to the early-middle stage.

Ye Xuan, who had woken up, had a pale face, chapped lips, and glazed eyes that were difficult to focus.

The Gu worm had absorbed too much of his essence and Yuan energy.

The reason he was able to reach that level of strength was also due to an explosion that destroyed his foundation.

If Li Guanqi hadn't controlled him in a short period of time, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

Gradually, Ye Xuan's pupils contracted slightly.

He saw Ye Bingxin, who was breathing steadily, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

He looked up at Li Guanqi, whose aura was also fluctuating violently, his eyes extremely complicated.

The man spread his hands, sat on the spot, swaying, and said in a guilty, hoarse voice.

"I'm sorry… I… I don't know when…"

Li Guanqi waved his hand and said softly.

"No need to be sorry, everything is still within my control."

Then, a calm seal character appeared in Li Guanqi's hand.

And another seal character slowly burned from Ye Xuan's back.

Ye Xuan frowned, sensed it, and said in a deep voice.

"You've been monitoring me all along?"

"When was I infected with the Gu?"

Li Guanqi looked up at the destroyed sky and murmured.

"This time… it's really a big game."

After saying that, Li Guanqi turned to look at Yan Ling and said softly.

"Give me that thing."

Yan Ling's expression became extremely solemn upon hearing this.

He reached into the void, and a palm-sized square flame box was taken out.

Ye Xuan couldn't help but frown slightly at this scene, because he couldn't sense anything inside.

A cold light flashed in Li Guanqi's eyes. Inside the box… there was actually a wisp of black remnant soul!

Li Guanqi held the flame box in his hand and murmured.

"You've really been hiding deeply…"

The remnant soul didn't speak; this time, he had lost completely.

But he still wanted to know the truth of everything before he died!

"Can you tell me how you detected it?"

This voice…

Ye Xuan's pupils shrank into pinpoints!!!

"Is… is it Xun Tian?!"

Li Guanqi didn't speak, he looked down at Xun Tian's remnant soul in the flame box in his hand and pondered for a moment.

"I'm wondering where to start…"

Li Guanqi's thoughts wandered, and he murmured with emotion.

"I painstakingly killed you back then and absorbed your Demon King Body."

"At that time, I never doubted anything. It was precisely because I didn't doubt that you took advantage of the situation."

"You actually hid your remnant soul in the Demon King Body, so much so that I didn't completely refine it for a long time."

"It wasn't until I subdued the Devourer not long ago that I barely managed to completely master the Demon King Body."

Speaking of this, Li Guanqi's voice paused slightly.

"At that time, I was only breaking through to the middle stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, but I completed the refining of the Demon King Body in that process."

"Thinking about it now, it's really strange. How could the Demon King Body, which hadn't been refined for so long, be completed when I subdued the Devourer?"

Li Guanqi picked up the box and placed it in front of him, sneering coldly.

"Because you were afraid, you were afraid that after I subdued the Devourer, I would use its power to refine the Demon King Body and discover you!"

"You simply gave up resisting completely and used your last strength to merge into my divine soul and flesh, as faint as smoke, untraceable."

"But at the same time… your power also became extremely weak…"

Li Guanqi's voice gradually became cold.

"But… you didn't give up. Instead, you started to influence my mind, temperament, and disposition!!!"
