Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Inside the restaurant room.

Li Guanqi felt somewhat frustrated, not expecting the cultivation levels of those two individuals to be so high.

His divine sense had only slightly touched their immortal essence barrier, yet it triggered such a significant reaction, immediately exposing him.

Li Guanqi paced back and forth in the room.

“Hiss… where is it? They didn't say…”

“This Dixiu Bay stretches nearly a thousand miles, with six interconnected cities, how am I supposed to find it?”

However, just as he was lost in thought, the jade slip faintly lit up, and Lin Jinting's voice slowly transmitted.

“Kid Li! That Frost Soul Jade Glaze is said to be a third-grade immortal item, like precious jade, requiring an extremely cold environment to condense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.”

“When worn by cultivators, it can focus the mind and protect against evil thoughts and distractions.”

“If the wearer has an ice-type spiritual root, the Jade Glaze can increase their cultivation speed and purify their immortal essence during cultivation.”

“It can be considered an extremely precious spiritual object of heaven and earth.”

“But the specific appearance of the Frost Soul Jade Glaze is unknown.”

Li Guanqi nodded slightly, so this thing… is quite precious!!

“Okay, I understand, Uncle Lin.”

“By the way, how has Wujiu been recently?”

A hearty laugh came from the jade slip.

“That kid was depressed for a long time after you left, but now he has broken through to the eighth level of the Mysterious Immortal Realm.”

“He's been clamoring to travel the world, saying he wants to find you two.”

“But I plan to let him break through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm before letting him leave.”

Li Guanqi smiled slightly upon hearing this, that kid……

Time flies, it's already been more than half a year.

“Time passes so quickly.”

Lin Jinting's voice came from the jade slip.

“How are you doing these days, kid? Are you short on money or anything?”

“Where are you? You haven't sent a message in so long. Wujiu complains about you and Qisha every day, saying you two are the same, neither of you contacting him.”

Li Guanqi chatted with Lin Jinting for a while, then suddenly put away the jade slip, his eyes vigilantly looking towards the direction of the window.

This restaurant isn't a great place in Xialin City; the location is a bit remote, and the night is exceptionally quiet.

But Li Guanqi produced two inscribed talismans, which were now burning.

This indicated that the inscribed talismans he had left within a thousand yards around were sensing the aura of a Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivator!!

Li Guanqi glanced at Li Nanting, who was cultivating with his eyes closed, and directly brought him into the Sumeru Treasure Palace.

He then changed into a black robe and approached the door, muttering in a low voice.

“Could it be that what happened during the day was discovered?”

“That shouldn't be…”

Thinking of this, Li Guanqi directly flashed out of the room, but he left an inscribed talisman in the room.

The talisman flickered with spiritual light, actually condensing a illusory figure identical to Li Guanqi.

Even the faint aura released was no different from Li Guanqi.

But if someone entered the room, they would discover that there was only a condensed spiritual light in the room.

Leaving the room, Li Guanqi lurked in the shadows of the streets and alleys like a wisp of darkness.

But he hadn't gone far, stopping suddenly in an alley about two hundred yards away from the restaurant.

A faint smell of blood permeated the air, though very faint.

But in Li Guanqi's opinion, the smell of blood was very clear.

Li Guanqi slightly released his divine sense, then leaped up and over the high wall.

The courtyard was pitch black, with only a cold corpse lying on the grass.

Everything that could prove the man's identity had been taken away, and the ring marks were still on his finger.

Li Guanqi looked at the other party's wounds: a knife pierced through his heart, and his neck was almost completely severed.

Such fierce moves, if not for the vast difference in cultivation levels between the two, there would only be one possibility!

The killer and the killed knew each other!

Li Guanqi scanned the house with his divine sense but found nothing unusual.

There were almost no signs of habitation in the house; the door was tightly closed, and the lock was rusty.

Only the dust on the tables and chairs in the yard was not so heavy.

“Could this yard be specially used to conceal people's eyes and carry out shady transactions?”

Li Guanqi's body was suspended in the air, his feet not even touching the grass.

However, at this moment, Li Guanqi noticed a subtle aura rapidly approaching.

Without time to think, he instantly flashed into the Sumeru Treasure Palace, throwing a fingernail-sized stone into the corner of the wall before entering!

After entering the Sumeru Treasure Palace, Li Guanqi took out the ice-blue mirror.

This thing is called the 'Distant View Water Mirror.' As long as it is a mirror that matches the Distant View Stone, even if they are millions of miles apart, you can see the scene observed by the Distant View Stone.

The surface of the mirror rippled, and the scene outside instantly appeared in the mirror.

Whoosh!!

A strange black shadow appeared in the courtyard, glanced at the corpse on the ground, and then began to carefully search everything around.

Fortunately, Li Guanqi hid the Distant View Stone very well and was not discovered by the other party.

The man in the water mirror was tall and slightly burly.

He skillfully collected the corpse, then wiped away all the bloodstains and traces around, and flashed away from the courtyard.

From beginning to end, the black-robed man did not make a sound.

It was as if he had only returned to clean up the corpse.

Li Guanqi stared at the water mirror in front of him, his eyes narrowed.

Those large hands full of calluses, if they were to draw a knife, I'm afraid that the power of the physical body alone would be enough to crush the opponent!!

This person is the killer!

I didn't expect the other party to return to take the body away…

Could it be that the other party doesn't want the body to be exposed at this moment??

Many questions appeared in Li Guanqi's mind.

He originally thought that the two cultivators who revealed the news of the Frost Soul Jade Glaze during the day had found him.

But he didn't expect to see a strange murder case.

Who was the person killed?

Who was the killer?

What was the cause, and why did they return to take the body away?

Li Nanting was already used to the behavior of being directly stuffed into the Sumeru Treasure Palace.

The old man looked at the scene in the mirror and then looked at Li Guanqi.

“A bit puzzled as to why the other party went and returned, coming back to take the corpse?”

Li Guanqi nodded slightly to Li Nanting.

The old man stroked his beard and pondered.

“We only need to look at the result.”

“At first, the killer acted decisively and ruthlessly, and the corpse was placed so blatantly in the courtyard, obviously without any scruples.”

“But when he came back later, he not only took the corpse away, but also wiped away all the bloodstains in the soil on the ground…”

“It can only be said that at the beginning, the killer didn't care whether this person's death was exposed or not.”

“But something suddenly happened during this period, making the killer have to hide the fact that this person died!”

Li Guanqi just smiled and nodded upon hearing this. In fact, the questions he was thinking about were even deeper.

For example……

Could this assassination be related to him!

Li Guanqi hid in the courtyard for nearly three hours until dawn before leaving silently.
