Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Li Guanqi sat on the mountain peak, took out his wine gourd, and tilted his head back to gulp down several mouthfuls of strong liquor.

One mouthful after another.

Until the wine flowed down the corners of his mouth, and his eyes had turned bloodshot without him even realizing it.

He closed his eyes in pain, Tao Manman and Chen Manyu were still in his sword coffin.

And Tang Lian…

Putting down the gourd, he saw the eight words above again.

Only now did Li Guanqi understand the other meaning of 'Cicada lives for eight days, born towards death'.

That is to live in the present and cherish the people in front of you.

No one knows what will happen tomorrow.

At this moment, the tall and slender Peak Master of Tianmu Peak, Pei Qinglian, slowly walked towards Li Guanqi.

The woman's face could not hide her sorrow, and she looked at Li Guanqi, who was drinking alone, and said in a hoarse voice.

"Little Lian, she…"

Li Guanqi turned his head to look at the woman with red eyes, opened his mouth as if to say something, but choked up and couldn't speak.

"She… I couldn't save her… I…"

Pei Qinglian had tears in the corners of her eyes, Tang Lian was, after all, her prized disciple.

Her emotions fluctuated, and the immortal essence around her body also surged violently.

She simply patted Li Guanqi on the shoulder, silently sat down beside him, and reached out to ask for a pot of wine.

Flames filled the sky, and the entire Chongwu Cliff was enveloped in flames for a hundred miles around.

Every trace was completely erased, not even a single speck of blood was left.

In fact, the previous Immortal Sovereign Tribulation had already destroyed almost all traces.

However, Qin Gang understood that the other party's identity, status, and the power behind them were by no means ordinary.

So, he had to erase all traces that might be discovered by the other party as much as possible!!!

After doing all this, the entire land of Chongwu Cliff had turned into a scorched earth.

Everywhere were deep ravines left by the crisscrossing sword qi, and huge deep pits from the heavenly tribulation.

The cultivators of the two states saw several cloud boats of the Great Xia Sword Sect parked, and many disciples formed a human wall, and none of them dared to approach at all.

Everyone secretly speculated about what had happened.

Some also said that someone had broken through to become an Immortal Sovereign.

However, no one dared to step forward to investigate, and any attempt to peek was warned by the disciples of the Great Xia Sword Sect!

The cloud boats ascended into the sky, tearing through the firmament and speeding away.

After everyone had left, a group of cultivators concealed their aura and sneaked into Chongwu Cliff.

When they saw the current state of Chongwu Cliff, they couldn't believe their eyes.

This…

Everywhere was a desolate and ruined scene, with huge ravines like bottomless abysses.

And there were scorched deep pits everywhere.

No matter how they searched, they couldn't find anything that would be worth such powerful cultivators fighting.

Finally, after searching in vain, many cultivators dispersed slightly, and could only speculate secretly in private.

The cloud boats returned to Great Xia, and the sect didn't even lower the sect-protecting formation.

A suffocating atmosphere surged within the sect.

All the peak masters did not return to their peaks immediately, and all went to the main hall of the sect.

Li Guanqi was in the hall, and didn't even hear what they were saying clearly.

"Congxin?"

Li Guanqi suddenly woke up: "Ah…"

"Let's… go to the sect cemetery together."

Qin Gang, with a pale face, slowly stood up, and Li Guanqi also stood up upon hearing this.

Tao Manman and Chen Manyu and others were now sent to Tiandan Peak for treatment.

A group of people got up and went to the sect cemetery, behind Tianzi Peak.

Compared to the sect cemetery in the Human Spirit Realm, the tombstones in the sect cemetery of the Immortal Realm Great Xia Sword Sect were relatively few.

With a heritage of nearly six thousand years, the sect cemetery only buried hundreds of people.

And this time, more than a dozen people were added.

Pei Qinglian put Tang Lian's body into the coffin.

Leng Yan and Chen Heng, who were also seriously injured, came, and Ge Nie also came.

Ye Feng and Gu Li were covered in blood, and didn't even have time to change their clothes.

Everyone was dressed in black robes.

Ge Nie clenched his fists, bit his lip tightly, and didn't even realize that his nails were embedded in his flesh.

He regretted that he didn't follow Tang Lian and the others on this mission.

"If only I had been there."

Everyone silently watched the coffin descend, buried underground, and a monument erected with inscriptions.

The solemn atmosphere was very heavy.

Li Guanqi's heart was also very heavy, he clenched his fists, and the woman's past moments flashed in his mind.

After the burial, everyone offered incense and bowed.

Li Guanqi turned and walked towards the outside of the peak, Ye Feng and Gu Li followed behind.

Leng Yan and the others watched the three of them without speaking.

They all knew that Li Guanqi had tried his best…

The erratic aura indicated that Li Guanqi had forcibly broken through.

No one blamed him, and they also understood that in the world of cultivation, there were often more accidents.

When they returned to the other courtyard, Li Nanting was smoking with his back to the door.

Looking at the thin layer of ash on the table, the old man had probably been waiting for a long time.

Hearing the movement, the old man immediately stood up and turned to look at Li Guanqi and the others.

Seeing that the faces of the few people were not very good, and Ye Feng and Gu Li were even more covered in scars.

"Master."

"Grandpa Li…"

Li Nanting hunched his back, put away his pipe, and didn't say anything.

He just turned his back to everyone and said softly.

"I've boiled water for the three of you, go take a bath."

Li Guanqi and the others were slightly stunned.

The old man didn't even ask what had happened, he just felt something and thought about doing something he could do, boiling some bath water for the three of them.

Gu Li pouted, his eyes slightly red.

Ye Feng squeezed his shoulder and led him inside.

Li Guanqi silently walked towards the room, the two followed closely behind.

In the room, three large wooden barrels were steaming hot.

The three of them took off their clothes and lay down inside.

The water mist filled the air, the three of them put their heads on the edge of the wooden barrel and looked up, no one spoke.

After a long while, Li Guanqi said softly.

"I want to… open the Nirvana Tower."

Gu Li frowned slightly.

"But the quality of the Nirvana Tower is not good enough, can it still be maintained?"

Ye Feng also nodded and said.

"Why don't… we wait a little longer."

Li Guanqi shook his head and said softly.

"I've thought about it… but we can't wait any longer."

"Only open five times the flow rate, it should still be able to withstand it."

"At that time, I will let Uncle Meng also come in to cultivate!"

"We… can't wait that long."

Li Guanqi's voice paused slightly, and a barrier was set up inside and outside the room by him.

"You all saw what happened this time, if it weren't for the Sect Master desperately breaking through and reversing the situation, we wouldn't have had the slightest power to fight back."

"This time it was Tang Lian… what about next time?"

Li Guanqi closed his eyes and said with an incomparably firm voice.

"I don't want the next time to be any of you!"

"I want to have the strength to face everything alone!"

Since things had been said to this extent, Ye Feng and Gu Li did not refute.

Their strength was still too weak.

Gradually, Ye Feng and Gu Li both entered a state of cultivation to heal their injuries.

Only Li Guanqi stared at the ceiling for a long time, with crystal tears flickering in the corners of his eyes.

He clenched his fists, unwilling.
