Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Buzz!!!!

The entire study seemed to freeze, becoming heavy and still.

As Li Guanqi took a step forward, a terrifying pressure exploded forth!!!

This pressure was directed solely at the old man. Although Tang Ru didn't feel it, he understood what was happening.

Li Guanqi… had made his move!

The old man's eyes narrowed, and he immediately circulated his Yuan energy, unleashing his own pressure.

However, this pressure seemed somewhat weak in the face of the opponent's.

Moreover, with each step Li Guanqi took, the pressure and aura around him grew even stronger.

Thud! Thud!

The sound of his footsteps was like a heavy, oppressive beat on his heart!!

Originally tall, Li Guanqi's figure seemed even more gigantic in the old man's eyes.

Cold sweat soaked the old man's forehead, and his withered hands instantly reached for the twin sabers at his waist!!

Li Guanqi simply continued to walk forward calmly and slowly.

Boom!!!

A terrifying domineering sword intent exploded forth!!

The old man's knees suddenly buckled!!

Qian Feng watched the scene unfold with disbelief.

Those pure white eyes remained unwavering from beginning to end, so calm and indifferent.

Just when he thought he still had a chance to fight, the old man suddenly felt an immense power of blood and energy emanating from Li Guanqi!!!!

Gradually, the spiritual bricks beneath Li Guanqi's feet began to crack, leaving behind deep footprints!!

The old man's head was forced down low by the powerful pressure, veins popping on his neck as he desperately tried to look up at the young man.

Swish!!!

All the pressure and aura vanished in an instant. Li Guanqi slowly turned around, looking at the old man with indifferent eyes, and said softly.

"You see, I was just stating a fact."

"Sometimes… boasting about experience is useless."

Tang Ru wore a wry smile on the side, as he expected this.

Based on his understanding of Li Guanqi, this person would never speak without certainty.

Since he said he was confident in killing Old Qian, he must have the strength to do so!

He turned his head and transmitted a message to the old man, whose eyes widened instantly as he looked at Li Guanqi, a look of understanding flashing across his face.

He cupped his fist with a wry smile and said, "This old man was arrogant. I hope my young friend doesn't take offense."

He glanced at Tang Ru, then turned to Li Guanqi and said softly, "I'll take my leave first. Some things are better discussed between the young master and you personally."

With that, the old man's figure twisted slightly and disappeared into the shadows.

After the old man left, Tang Ru took a deep breath and bowed deeply to Li Guanqi, saying, "Brother Li, please help me!"

Li Guanqi dodged the bow in a flash, frowning and saying, "Tell me what's going on first. What's with the grand gesture?"

Tang Ru said in a low voice, "I really… have no other choice."

Li Guanqi gently raised his hand and helped him up.

"Sit down and tell me what's going on."

Tang Ru stood up, his eyes bloodshot.

No one knew how much pressure he had been under during this time. He had to rely on himself for everything.

He sat down at the desk and then told Li Guanqi everything.

"You should know my identity. My father is the Pavilion Master of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion in the Great Xia Domain, Tang Wei!"

Li Guanqi was slightly shocked. He thought Tang Chuan was just the son of the Pavilion Master of the largest Myriad Treasures Pavilion in the Northern Domain, but he didn't expect him to be from the Great Xia Domain's Myriad Treasures Pavilion!!

That was Tang Wei, a great cultivator at the peak of the Refinement realm!!

The Heaven Splitting Saber, Tang Wei, who in the entire Great Xia Domain didn't know this man's fame?

He didn't expect Tang Ru to be Tang Wei's son!!

Tang Ru looked at Li Guanqi and sighed, "I have two older brothers above me. I'm the third in my family."

"Before I turned eighteen, my father arranged a very important assessment!"

"Lasting for five years, each of us opens a branch pavilion to see who earns the most in the end."

"And the starting capital is exactly ten thousand high-grade spirit stones!"

Li Guanqi nodded silently, understanding in his heart.

It seemed that the struggles in large families were far more intense than he had imagined.

"So this matter is likely the work of your two older brothers?"

Tang Ru nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "That's right! However… I don't know if it's my eldest brother, Tang Yongwen, or my second brother, Tang Yan!"

"But based on my understanding of them, this matter is most likely the work of my second brother, Tang Yan!"

Li Guanqi muttered to himself, "He does have some tricks. If Tang Ru lost his composure and tried to kill the old man, I'm afraid Tang Ru's store wouldn't even open before his reputation was ruined."

"But if he really gave the money to the old man, he would get the spirit stones and put Tang Ru in a state of having no rice to cook."

"The assessment would naturally be over… a good scheme!"

Tang Ru narrowed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking. He slowly looked up at Li Guanqi and said.

"That old man definitely won't know anything. It's very likely he doesn't even know he's being used."

Li Guanqi stared at him and said softly, "So… you must release the person in three days no matter what!"

"That's right! And this person must die!"

Tang Ru nodded heavily, then said something shocking.

Li Guanqi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he agreed very much, saying, "That old man is just a pawn. No matter who is behind this."

"They will definitely try to pin this on you."

Speaking of this, he looked up at Tang Ru and said, "You mean… you want me to send this person away?"

Tang Ru praised Li Guanqi's intelligence in his heart.

"That's right, I want to ask you to escort this person out of Wuzi City!"

"He can die, but he must not die in Wuzi City!"

"Once he dies in the city, there's really no way to avoid this blame."

Speaking of this, Tang Ru paused slightly and said softly, "If you can escort the person out of the city, I will pay you one thousand high-grade spirit stones!"

Li Guanqi's breathing stagnated upon hearing this, and his heart pounded wildly.

"One thousand!!"

Tang Ru opened his mouth and offered a full one thousand high-grade spirit stones!!

This price could even hire a late-stage Transformation God expert!

Tang Ru said in a deep voice, "I know you must be wondering why I don't hire other experts."

"The reason is very simple…"

"I don't trust outsiders!"

Li Guanqi smiled bitterly upon hearing this, "It's not that I don't want to help you… since the other party has decided to kill you, the person they send won't be in the Transformation God realm, right?"

"I don't want to risk my life for these spirit stones."

Tang Ru laughed loudly upon hearing this, "Don't worry, definitely not!"

"My father must be paying attention to everything. An attack by a Nascent Soul realm cultivator is still within the scope that we can resolve."

"If it's the Transformation God realm… the nature changes."

"Even if it's really my second brother who did it, it can only be said that the business world is like a battlefield, and my father won't say anything."

"But if a Transformation God realm cultivator makes a move… I'm afraid he will have to bear my father's anger."

Li Guanqi curled his lips, got up, and said softly, "I accept."

"In addition, help me prepare two maps, one of the Southern Domain and one of the Western Domain."

Tang Ru's eyes lit up with joy, and he laughed loudly, "Hahaha, thank you!"
