Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

When Su Xuan heard Li Guanqi say that his sister's ashes had been taken away, his expression changed drastically.

Li Guanqi's heart also skipped a beat, his brow slightly furrowed, and he looked at the old man with a grave expression.

"Grandpa, did… something happen?"

Only then did Su Xuan realize that he had lost his composure a bit. He restrained his aura, his eyes flickering constantly.

"Can you tell when it was stolen?"

A chilling intent flashed across Li Guanqi's eyes, eventually turning into a helpless shake of his head.

"I don't know."

"I checked everywhere and didn't find any clues."

"Even the Devouring Flame Spirit couldn't find anything. I suspect it was a long time ago, possibly more than twenty years!"

Su Xuan's eyes flickered, clearly trusting Li Guanqi's judgment more.

Since Li Guanqi said at least twenty years, it definitely wouldn't be without reason.

"It seems… the other party has been planning for many years!"

"But what can they do with just ashes?"

The other party's act of stealing the ashes left Su Xuan somewhat puzzled.

When he first heard the news, Su Xuan's first reaction was various strange techniques from the Immortal Realm!

But…

Nothing has happened today from something planned twenty years ago.

It's very possible that the other party didn't succeed!

But there's another possibility, and that is that the other party is waiting!

Waiting for the most opportune moment!

Su Xuan took a deep breath and whispered.

"What do you think?"

This sentence wasn't addressed to Li Guanqi, but was asking the Sword Spirit.

Buzz!!

A subtle spatial fluctuation came, and the Sword Spirit's figure slowly emerged.

Also with a solemn yet perplexed expression, she opened her mouth and said.

"I don't know. There are countless mysterious and bizarre techniques in the Immortal Realm, and even I can't know them all."

"But since the other party stole Li Cuiwei's ashes, they must have ulterior motives."

As she spoke, the Sword Spirit's beautiful eyes flickered…

She looked into Su Xuan's eyes and slowly said.

"Could it be that old man surnamed Lu from back then?"

Su Xuan thought for a moment, shook his head, and murmured.

"I don't know… it's not impossible."

"But Guanqi's background has hardly ever been mentioned to others, and even if it has, it's only been to myself."

"Moreover, Guanqi has hardly spoken to anyone about his mother and sister for so many years."

Listening to the two people's discussion, Li Guanqi's expression suddenly changed drastically!!

"That's not right… I did mention my sister!"

"And it was in front of many people…"

The Sword Spirit frowned slightly; she had no memory of this.

Su Xuan frowned and asked, "Would you say these things in front of many people?"

Li Guanqi thought about his status as an only child and felt somewhat helpless, his memories flashing back to when he first entered the Great Xia Sword Sect.

Back then, Zhao Yuanlin slandered him, and then he killed Zhao Yuanlin with his fists.

The conflict between his sister and the Zhao family was heard by many people at the time.

And his beggar status was also known to everyone at that time.

The Sword Spirit hadn't met Li Guanqi back then, so of course she wouldn't know about this.

Upon hearing this, Su Xuan's eyes narrowed, and his cloudy eyes flashed with a sharp light.

"If that's the case, I'm afraid someone hidden in the dark took this message to heart."

"And soon after, they found Beiliang City."

"After all, I didn't conceal my aura when I took you away."

"In this case, it makes sense… twenty years, the time is right!"

Li Guanqi also ultimately locked his gaze on the people in the sect's square back then!

Especially the people around him.

But after thinking about it, he still didn't notice anything unusual.

You must know that back then, since the Great Xia Sword Sect began forming alliances with various sects.

Li Shenzhi came on behalf of his sect, but was killed by him.

At that time, he happened to be in the sect, and he had checked everyone around him, and didn't find anything suspicious.

"Could it be… those people who weren't selected in the sect square back then?"

Li Guanqi frowned and shook his head somewhat helplessly.

Looking at it this way, there's no way to find any clues.

The other party may not be in the sect square, but they can just grab someone through means such as soul searching.

There's no way to start!

Su Xuan glanced at Li Guanqi, who had fallen into deep thought, reached out and patted his shoulder to wake him up.

"Alright, don't think so much."

"Since the other party has a plan, they will eventually show their true colors one day."

"Now that we know, we should be prepared in advance, why bother trapping ourselves here?"

Speaking of this, Su Xuan's voice gradually softened.

"As for your sister's ashes… when people die, everything disappears, and the same principle applies to mortals."

"What's scary isn't death; that's not the real departure of loved ones."

Li Guanqi's lips curled up slightly, and he whispered the next sentence.

"Forgetting is."

Su Xuan smiled, put the tobacco in place, and puffed on his pipe.

"Hurry up and break through; I'm still waiting for you to challenge the Four Kings."

Li Guanqi's mouth twitched, and he looked at the old man and couldn't help but say.

"You really have confidence in me… are the Four Heavenly Kings something I can challenge whenever I want?"

Su Xuan chuckled and gently tapped Li Guanqi's forehead.

"In theory, the power of Devouring Nothing is enough to raise your realm to the late stage of the Tribulation Realm."

"But you have suppressed it tightly. Now that you have stayed at the peak of the middle stage for a while, it's almost time to break through."

"With the Devouring Holy Flame, you don't need to worry about an unstable foundation."

Li Guanqi touched his nose and nodded.

"Okay, I understand."

Returning to the main topic, Su Xuan frowned, pondered for a long time, and finally said.

"In the Human Spirit Realm… besides Gu Xici, I'm afraid we also need to be wary of that old man surnamed Lu from Fulong Village back then."

"In addition, the jade pendant fragments obtained by Meng Jiangchu and Zhang Qixuan were probably also deliberately done by someone with ulterior motives."

"It's not certain whether Old Lu got it too."

Li Guanqi nodded, silently digesting everything he had learned today.

From the current point of view, in addition to Gu Xici, that Lu Tiancheng is probably also a guy hiding in the dark.

And his actions are extremely secretive. The information he exposed in the Great Xia Sword Sect back then may have been done by Gu Xici, or it may have been done by Lu Tiancheng.

Li Guanqi looked at the old man beside him and asked his last question.

"Grandpa, why did you take me to Fulong Village back then?"

Upon hearing this, Su Xuan looked at Li Guanqi, his eyes flickering, and his mouth carried a strange smile.

"You brat, the village you know is called Fulong Village."

"Actually… that place isn't called Fulong Village; it's called Fulong instead!"

Li Guanqi's heart trembled upon hearing this, and he couldn't help but exclaim.

"What!! Fulong?!"

"Could it be that… that Nine Heavens isn't…"

Su Xuan smiled without saying a word, murmuring, "The things the other party deduced may not be the Sword Spirit."

"It may be you, who is carrying the Dragon Luck, but Zhang Qixuan and Meng Jiangchu stumbled upon it at that time."

"Otherwise, why do you think the medicinal bath back then was so painful? It was all ground dragon bones poured in."

Li Guanqi was stunned. He thought the medicinal bath back then was just for strengthening his body.

"Then the dragon egg in the secret realm back then…"

Su Xuan smiled and said, "Of course, it was me who deliberately guided it… if it weren't for that, do you think the dragon egg could have hatched so smoothly?"

"It's been thousands of years in that dilapidated sect's secret realm, and the dragon egg still retains its vitality?"
