Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

The night grew darker.

Li Guanqi, however, was placing stones on the chessboard.

The chessboard conjured by his immortal essence had six copies!

Li Guanqi was playing against six people alone!

As for why six people...

It was because he had included Xiahou Cang in his calculations.

Through contact, Li Guanqi felt that this man could not be completely trusted.

If a critical situation arose, the other party would likely abandon him!

So, when calculating the entire game, he had to include Xiahou Cang and Yu Su in his calculations as well.

Li Guanqi's eyes flickered, and he turned to place a stone.

He murmured in a low voice.

"Madam Yu, I'm afraid Li will have to open a separate chessboard for you."

At the same time, in Xiahou Cang's bedroom, Yu Su, feeling uneasy before going to bed, slowly got up.

Xiahou Cang got up and looked at the woman, saying softly.

"My dear, what's wrong?"

Yu Su paced back and forth on the ground, her brows slightly furrowed.

"I always feel a little uneasy..."

"When you went to see the crack today, did Young Master Li show anything unusual?"

Xiahou Cang frowned.

"There was nothing unusual. He went down first, and I followed closely behind. I didn't notice anything abnormal."

"Besides, I also had the people below carefully check the cave. Everything is normal."

The woman frowned slightly, put on her clothes, and took out a palm-sized tortoise shell and three strangely shaped beast teeth.

Seeing this, Xiahou Cang quickly got up.

"My dear, what's the matter that requires you to cast a divination?"

Yu Su smiled slightly and said softly.

"It's okay, I only predict the general trend and don't delve into it."

Hearing this, the man was slightly relieved and simply got up and came to the woman's side.

The woman placed the beast teeth into the tortoise shell, which was entirely black, but the tortoise patterns flowed with a golden halo.

Clatter!!

Yu Su closed her eyes slightly, chanting words, her immortal essence operating in a way never seen before.

Immortal energy lingered around her, and the sound of the beast teeth colliding in the tortoise shell became more and more rapid.

Clatter!

The beast teeth fell to the ground, and Yu Su's brow furrowed as she fiddled with them.

"What's wrong?"

The woman's face was slightly pale, and she turned to look at the man, her voice somewhat uncertain and puzzled.

"An empty sign..."

Hearing this, Xiahou Cang immediately laughed.

"Hahaha, an empty sign, isn't that a good thing?"

"The Five Cities' plan will fall through, a waste of effort, which is a good thing for us, right?"

Yu Su sighed, her eyes unfathomable.

Logically speaking, the divination sign showed that it was indeed a waste of effort.

But she always felt that something was not quite right.

The woman bit her lip and threw the beast teeth into the tortoise shell again.

A pair of large hands directly pressed on Yu Su's hands.

Xiahou Cang said in a deep voice: "My dear, you must not continue to divine!"

"Further exploration, attempting to peek into the secrets of heaven, will inevitably lead to extremely strong backlash!"

"This divination sign is already enough."

The woman hesitated for a moment, but still gave up, put the tortoise shell away, and felt a little more at ease.

But she still did not forget to urge the man to keep an eye on the crack.

That secret passage was their biggest trump card and backup plan.

As long as there were no problems there, even Li Guanqi would not be able to stir up any trouble.

Back in Li Guanqi's room.

Peng Luo hugged her shoulders and shivered, while Li Guanqi placed his hands on her back.

The Devouring Flame flowed throughout her body, and Peng Luo exhaled two wisps of cold air from her nostrils.

Peng Luo's mouth was slightly open, and a lewd sense of comfort was revealed on her face.

Pa!

Li Guanqi slapped her butt and asked in a deep voice.

"What the hell is going on?"

Hearing this, Peng Luo quickly turned around, swallowed, looked at Li Guanqi, gestured, and said with an exaggerated expression.

"Ice Phoenix!! A big one!!!"

Li Guanqi frowned and asked carefully.

"What's going on?"

"What is an Ice Phoenix? Isn't there a Frost Soul Jade Glaze inside?"

Peng Luo scratched her head, recalling.

"I didn't see any Frost Soul Jade Glaze... I just saw a big Ice Phoenix!!"

"Uh... wait!!"

"That Ice Phoenix seems weird..."

Peng Luo jumped off the futon, stroking her chin with her small hand, pacing back and forth.

Suddenly!

Peng Luo stopped, her eyes flashing with bright light, and excitedly said.

"Ah!! I know!!"

"That Ice Phoenix... is the manifestation of the Frost Soul Jade Glaze!"

"The beast core of the Ice Phoenix is the Frost Soul Jade Glaze!"

Li Guanqi gasped when he heard this. It was the first time he had heard of a natural treasure manifesting into a beast form!!

"What is the strength of that Ice Phoenix?"

Peng Luo pondered for a long time and said.

"Tier 3! Definitely Tier 3!"

"But I can't sense the specific aura, but Tier 2 definitely doesn't have that kind of pressure!"

Li Guanqi suddenly worried whether the seal he left behind would fail.

Peng Luo seemed to see Li Guanqi's worry and patted her chest proudly.

"Master, don't worry, I put all the seals on at that moment."

"If there aren't a hundred, there are eighty!"

Li Guanqi praised her when he heard this, and then asked.

"By the way, are the seals far enough away from the crack barrier?"

Peng Luo's expression froze, and she scratched her head and said in a low voice.

"Uh... they're all贴 at the door..."

The corners of Li Guanqi's mouth twitched.

"贴 at the door... what if Xiahou Cang finds out!"

Peng Luo ran away in a puff of smoke.

Only Li Guanqi was left in the room, sitting on the chair in a daze.

Now he had left a seal at the entrance of the secret room's teleportation array, and some inside the crack barrier.

Even if he couldn't get in early, he could guarantee that he wouldn't be excluded by Xiahou Cang.

Time passed quickly, and the next morning Xiahou Cang came to Li Guanqi's courtyard.

Li Guanqi walked out of the room and said with a soft smile.

"City Lord Xiahou, good morning."

The man had a warm smile on his face.

"Haha, with Young Master Li's joining, I slept well last night."

Li Guanqi joked: "I think it's because Madam Yu came back and the City Lord had no worries, so he was a little relieved."

"Haha, that's partly true, does Young Master Li want to have breakfast?"

The man walked to Li Guanqi's side.

Li Guanqi shook his head and refused: "No need, let's go to the study directly."

The man nodded, and the two walked side by side.

Along the way, Li Guanqi saw many servants in the mansion were busy.

"City Lord Xiahou has a lot of spies in this mansion."

"I'm afraid my portrait is already in front of the Five Cities' Lords..."

Xiahou Cang smiled slightly.

"Knowing is knowing, just right."

Li Guanqi didn't deliberately hide his identity or the fact that he appeared in the City Lord's Mansion.

The more Xiahou Cang valued him, the easier the next few steps would be.

Inside the study, Xiahou Cang frowned and asked.

"Is it really feasible to do this...?"

Li Guanqi drank a sip of tea on his own and said softly.

"Whether it works or not, we'll know once we try."

"The more real we make it, the more we hide it, the more the other party will believe it."

"Only then can the next few steps go smoothly."

The man bit his lip when he heard this and said in a deep voice.

"Okay, I'll go prepare things!"
