Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

The enormous plaza was covered in blood.

The battle between the two great demonic beasts had everyone's nerves on edge.

After an unknown amount of time, the Fire Kirin, standing on the mangled flesh of the Sorrowful Tiger, lowered its head and spat out a scorching flame!!

The Sorrowful Tiger, with one wing torn off, let out miserable cries, twisting its body frantically.

After a long while, it fell silent!

“Awoo! Awoo! Awoo!!!”

“Ahhh! Ahhh! Ahhh!!”

“Awesome!! Hahahaha, that was so awesome to watch!!”

Countless people were cheering, and even many who had lost money felt it didn't matter.

The Fire Kirin tore open the Sorrowful Tiger's head and swallowed its beast core.

Then, it began to devour the other's flesh and blood.

Primal instinct, a bloody feast.

Seeing all of this, Li Guanqi's eyes were strange; he saw the numbness and emptiness in Shi Lin's eyes.

Lowering its head to gnaw on the other's corpse, its eyes were full of sorrow.

But it had no choice but to do so.

Until its next battle, it had no supplements or food.

The corpse before it was its only hope for survival…

Li Guanqi sighed deeply and slowly got up, walking towards the passage.

Shi Lin, under the influence of the Beast Control Ring, returned to human form, his mouth full of blood, slumped on the ground, his eyes numb, his body covered in wounds.

He clenched his fists, his eyes filled with grief and indignation as he looked at the massive corpse before him.

His heart was filled with endless anger.

He had clearly cultivated diligently for thousands of years, finally transforming and ascending to the Immortal Realm.

Yet now, he was doing the same things he had done to survive before.

Eating the corpses of his own kind, just to survive.

Li Guanqi looked back at the plaza, his eyes deep.

Li Guanqi, clad in a black robe, slowly walked out of the narrow, dark passage…

His eyes were somewhat dazed along the way; no one knew what he was thinking.

The noise around him continued, perhaps someone else had stepped onto that blood-soaked plaza.

The spectators still didn't care who lived or died.

When he walked out of the arena, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The air inside was mixed with a stench, and the smell of blood made him uncomfortable.

“Hoo…”

Li Guanqi looked up at the sky, taking a deep breath of the fresh air outside, and felt a little better.

However, at that moment, several powerful auras were approaching!!

One of them was speeding ahead, surrounded by a strong bloody aura, obviously using some kind of blood escape technique.

Two figures were chasing rapidly behind, frantically waving their swords, attacking the person in front.

Li Guanqi frowned slightly; these people were all Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivators, but he didn't know what kind of hatred had led them to chase each other here.

The cultivator in front was obviously at the end of his rope and could only desperately dodge the attacks from behind.

This scene also attracted the attention of many cultivators.

A strong man joked, “Hey, it looks like there's going to be a new addition to the arena!”

Immediately, someone chimed in with a laugh.

“Interesting, how far did he run to get here?”

Li Guanqi frowned slightly, and just as he was wondering what was going on, the man had already flashed to the entrance of the arena!!

The man bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood essence, shouting in horror.

“I want to sign a contract!! Quick!! I want to sign a contract!!!”

The man had pointed ears and a monkey-like face, and his appearance was not that of a kind person.

The cultivator guarding the gate of the arena smiled, then took out a blood-colored parchment, and with a flash of spiritual light, instantly imprinted the man's blood essence on it!

The attacks of the two people behind had already fallen fiercely.

The gatekeeper stepped forward and raised his hand, slashing out with his sword in succession!

Clang clang! Boom boom boom!!!

The sword light exploded, Li Guanqi stood still, and the scattered sword light shattered instantly three feet in front of him.

The gatekeeper smiled and looked at the two who were chasing, raising the blood contract in his hand.

“Gentlemen, this guy is now a member of my arena, please leave.”

The two cultivators breathed heavily, wearing neat and uniform robes, their eyes unwilling.

But they just took a deep look at the man lying on the ground, snorted angrily, and turned to leave.

This scene stirred Li Guanqi's heart.

This rule… is interesting.

The tall gatekeeper turned to look at Li Guanqi, he had noticed Li Guanqi's powerful strength when the sword energy was scattered just now.

“This fellow Daoist is very interested in the arena?”

“Do you want to come in and play?”

Li Guanqi, under the black robe, did not speak, but turned and flew towards the bay.

The man smiled, reached out and picked up the man on the ground, and threw him to his men.

“Put the blood contract away and take him in.”

After speaking, the man turned to look in the direction of Li Guanqi, his eyes strange.

“Going to the bay at this time?”

“Could it be that he is the staff member next to Xiahou Cang?”

After thinking about it, the man explained the situation at the door and left.

After a long while, in a quiet study on the underground floor of the arena.

The man knelt on one knee, and an old man was sitting behind the desk above, fiddling with an abacus in his hand.

“Heh, interesting…”

“A young man has stirred up the situation in the bay, turning six cities into three, he has some ability.”

“But there is no need to pay too much attention, we and the bay do not interfere with each other, he probably just came to take a look.”

The old man with white hair and a rosy complexion looked kind and amiable, his eyes narrowed when he smiled, and there were many wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.

A gorgeous brown brocade robe set off the old man's temperament extremely majestically.

Putting down the abacus, the old man took a cup and drank tea, his eyes flickering slightly.

Suddenly putting down the teacup, a flash of light flashed in his eyes.

“It seems that this guy's ambition is more than just the six cities in the bay!”

Thinking of this, the old man got up and paced slowly with his hands behind his back.

Pointing to the cultivator below, he slowly opened his mouth.

“Go to Xialin City and tell this little guy that the outside of the bay will not interfere in their affairs.”

“Just say this sentence and leave.”

The man nodded in agreement, and then disappeared into the study.

The candlelight flickered, and the green smoke in the incense burner curled up.

The old man turned his back to the desk and muttered.

“What a meticulous guy… Is he an Onmyoji or a術士 who is good at deduction?”

“Is he really just a guy with no background?”

When the old man had no expression on his face, he gave people a sense of unfathomable mystery, and his temperament was that of someone who had been in a high position for a long time.

Suddenly, the old man was slightly stunned, and took out a jade slip of extremely high quality and sent it into the immortal essence.

“Old Qiu, the sect has received news that the Ye family of Zhongtiandi may pass through Dixiu Bay, pay a little attention.”

Qiu Yan frowned slightly when he heard this.

“Okay, I know.”

“It's just passing by, there shouldn't be any intersection.”

“By the way, I have ordered someone to send this year's income back to the sect, remember to check it.”

Putting down the jade slip, the old man sat on the chair and muttered.

“The Ye family of Zhongtiandi, what are they doing in Fuyu Land?”

Li Guanqi, who had just returned to the City Lord's Mansion in Xialin City, went directly back to the other courtyard.

Xiahou Cang and Yu Su didn't dare to ask any more questions.

However, as soon as Li Guanqi entered the room, his movements suddenly stopped!!

Slowly turning to look in the direction behind him, the man who had made an invitation to him earlier was standing in the room.

“Old Qiu said that the arena will not interfere in any affairs in the bay.”

After speaking, the man disappeared into the room.

Li Guanqi's eyes narrowed, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, the man's strength was very strong!!

“What a smart guy…”

“In that case, the third step should be able to begin.”

The reason why he hadn't started it yet was because he was afraid that Dongcheng or Donglin City, these two cities were related to the arena.
