Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

“Cough cough… cough…”

Li Guanqi coughed twice, touched his nose, and grinned.

“Becoming the Sect Master is alright… but this kind of thing still needs you, Sect Master, to handle it.”

“I can be a grunt and charge into battle, but asking me to manage the sect and develop it every day, I’m really not good at it…”

Lu Kangnian laughed and scolded, “You brat, you’re really picking and choosing.”

“I know you have the world in your heart and ambitions in all directions.”

“So I don’t really plan to pass the Sect Master position to you. Wu Bing is a very suitable candidate.”

“You… have made great contributions to the sect.”

At this point, the man paused slightly, tapping the table lightly with his finger as he continued.

“But… giving you a Peak Master position or even a higher Elder position is like tying you to the sect, which isn’t suitable.”

“Moreover, with your current strength and realm, your contributions to the sect, and your prestige among the disciples.”

“If you were still just a disciple of Thunder Peak, it wouldn’t make sense, either emotionally or rationally.”

Li Guanqi shrugged and nodded slightly.

“Alright, I’ll leave everything to the Sect Master’s arrangement.”

Lu Kangnian smiled slightly upon hearing this, pondered for a moment, and said softly.

“Guanqi, do you know.”

Li Guanqi looked up at the man slowly with some confusion.

Lu Kangnian opened his mouth with a mellow voice.

“This world is turbid, and there will be many trials and tribulations on the path of cultivating immortality and seeking longevity.”

“You are only eighteen years old now and have little experience.”

“Decisiveness in killing is a good thing, but one must be able to restrain oneself!”

“The feeling of being hunted down during this period must not have been pleasant, but I also know about the matters of the Immortal Crane Alliance and the North Sea Temple.”

“You did well, without being soft-hearted, but also having your own bottom line and principles.”

“I hope you can always maintain your original intention and not become a bloodthirsty person.”

Li Guanqi’s expression turned solemn, and he stood up and bowed.

“Guanqi will keep these words in mind!”

Lu Kangnian also slowly stood up, staring at Li Guanqi and said in a deep voice.

“You should know the Great Xia Sword Sect’s motto. If one day you fall into slaughter, I will do everything I can to clean up the sect, even at the cost of everything!”

Li Guanqi nodded silently.

Lu Kangnian originally didn’t want to say these words, but when the Mo family disciples were withdrawing.

He saw a hint of killing intent flashing in the depths of Li Guanqi’s eyes.

Although in his opinion, the Mo family members at that time deserved to be killed, not all of them should have been killed.

Moreover, there were too many onlookers, and he was afraid that everyone’s impression of Li Guanqi would become that of a cold-blooded and bloodthirsty person.

After all, his current title of Blood Slaughterer is only because he has killed enough people.

Furthermore, Li Guanqi’s actions in destroying the Immortal Crane Alliance and the North Sea Temple were all justified.

That’s why he decided to give him a slight warning today.

He believed that Li Guanqi’s intelligence would definitely understand his intentions.

Not long after Li Guanqi left, the ancient bell on the summit of Heavenly Sword Peak suddenly rang nine times with melodious chimes.

Everyone looked up at the summit, and then Lu Kangnian’s steady voice suddenly resounded throughout the Great Xia Sword Sect!

“In view of disciple Li Guanqi of Thunder Peak’s great contribution to the sect, and his current powerful strength.”

“I hereby grant Li Guanqi the position of Honorary Elder of the Great Xia Sword Sect for life! His status is equivalent to that of the Seven Peak Lords! This is hereby announced!”

At the same time, on the stone tablet in the main hall of the sect, engraved with the names of everyone.

Li Guanqi’s name suddenly appeared on it, and it was listed alongside the Seven Peak Lords, seemingly in a slightly higher position.

And a jade pendant shining with deep purple light slowly appeared in front of Li Guanqi.

Li Guanqi solemnly took the jade pendant and realized that the front of the jade pendant was, as usual, the twin peaks of the Great Xia Sword Sect, and the back was engraved with a line of words.

‘Li Guanqi, Honorary Elder of the Great Xia Sword Sect.’

These nine chimes also seemed to announce to the world that the Great Xia Sword Sect had a new elder from this day on.

Li Guanqi took a deep breath and stood on the spot, cupping his hands in salute towards the direction of Heavenly Sword Peak.

There was a considerable storage space inside the jade pendant, and inside was also an elegant streamer robe.

This was a unique robe for him!

Although the grade was only a spirit-level robe, it was also of considerable value.

Clang!!!

A purple sword covered in lightning quietly lay in the jade pendant.

Li Guanqi widened his eyes and muttered in disbelief.

“Sect Master… this… I’m afraid it’s a bit too precious, right?”

Lu Kangnian’s figure slowly emerged, looking at him with a smile and said.

“I know the grade of the sword in your hand is not low, but this Thunder Sword is of ancient treasure level, and it suits you.”

“Just keep it.”

But who knew that Li Guanqi shook his head with a wry smile, and slapped open the sword coffin with his backhand.

Screech!!!

The Red Lotus Sword burst out, and the moment it sensed that ancient sword, it struck it head-on with a sword!!!

Clang!!

The Thunder Sword was blasted away by more than a thousand feet, without even a trace of resistance.

Li Guanqi spread his hands and said, “Look, Sect Master, you’ve seen it too. That Thunder Sword is really not as easy to use as my own.”

Lu Kangnian curled his lips, retrieved the Thunder Sword with a wave of his hand, and said with a strange expression.

“This brat has a lot of good stuff.”

“Alright, since you’ve already said so, I won’t persuade you.”

Li Guanqi didn’t say any words of gratitude, but silently remembered everything the sect had done today in his heart.

Suddenly he thought of something, turned to look at Lu Kangnian and asked.

“Sect Master, didn’t the Spirit Fish Clan come?”

“Why didn’t I detect their aura within the sect?”

Lu Kangnian smiled upon hearing this, “At that time, the Mo family gathered all their strength and was bound to attack us, how could they come over hastily.”

Li Guanqi frowned upon hearing this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn’t help but snort coldly.

“They don’t know what’s good for them.”

Lu Kangnian raised his hand and pressed down, and said softly, “If it’s really as you said, the head of a clan will definitely be in a difficult position.”

“Although they didn’t offer charcoal in the snow, they didn’t pretend to add flowers to the brocade and give a belated compliment.”

“However… the attitude towards them will definitely not be as good as it is now.”

“If they want to merge into the Great Xia Sword Sect, they must pay some equal price.”

The man’s eyes were calm.

Lu Kangnian’s good temper depends on who he is dealing with. For outsiders, Lu Kangnian is not easy to get along with.

“Alright, go do what you need to do. You brat, remember to give those little cubs an early class tomorrow morning!”

Li Guanqi smiled slightly upon hearing this, and cupped his hands and said, “Fellow Daoist Lu, don’t worry, leave this matter to me.”

After speaking, he ran away in a puff of smoke before Lu Kangnian could get angry.

The man couldn’t help but chuckle as he watched the young man’s departing figure.

“Damn it, now he’s really become a Fellow Daoist.”

After Li Guanqi left, he didn’t go to find his master, but instead, with his hands behind his back, he came to the Three Thousand Strange Peaks.

At the top of Jade Pot Peak, several people were sitting on the edge of the cliff chatting.

Zhong Lin smiled slightly, got up and said.

“Old Li is here.”
