Chapter 969: Chapter 9: Good Son-in-law
The black-robed man lifted his head, seeing the second arrow directly shooting towards him.
Accompanied by a buzzing like wings.
This arrow directly penetrated the center of his forehead.
The mighty and domineering Inner Qi seemed useless, it exploded, and the black-robed man’s head shattered like a watermelon, Xiao Dayin’s face turned pale, body trembling, unable to say anything before Li Guanyi knocked him out with a club.
Then fed him a handful of Powder for Anesthesia.
After doing all this, Li Guanyi composed himself, and with the white-haired maiden, he gazed at the secret chamber. Li Guanyi looked around, discovering coins everywhere, gold and silver, the ropes used to tie the Copper Coins had rotted away over time.
Numerous gold and silver, numerous objects piled up in this not-so-large secret chamber.
"Originally, I just wanted to take back the town, never thought I’d poke such a big hole..." Li Guanyi’s gaze swept over the area, his expression calm, finally understanding the structure of the entire Western Regions.
All the people of various parts of the Western Regions, even the so-called middle-class, upper and lower classes, upper-middle class, are food for the Demon Sect, no wonder the proud Whale Hunter killed so many of the Demon Sect, yet they can continually rise from the ashes.
The Whale Hunter can only kill off each high-ranking member, but the soil that breeds the Demon Sect is the whole framework of the Western Regions; without eliminating such an environment, killing one member of the Demon Sect would result in two springing up.
Li Guanyi’s gaze moved away from the currently unconscious Xiao Dayin, landed on a statue, the Nine Provinces Tripod within him softly roared, Li Guanyi approached slowly, reached out to press down on the statue, feeling strands of human Qi Fortune entangling upon it.
Chaos, confusion.
The Nine Provinces Tripod buzzed incessantly.
An atmosphere grand and open will transform the Demon Sect-tempered human Qi Fortune.
Yet at this moment, Li Guanyi had not yet forged the second of the Nine Cauldrons, the Nine Provinces Tripod within him couldn’t come out of the body, unable to transform this muddled human Qi Fortune; just then, a sudden roar sounded, and this statue suddenly lit up.
Li Guanyi’s gaze slightly tightened, seeing a smear of blood on the base of the statue.
It was flung out by the black-robed man before he died.
Could it be—!
Primordial Qi surged, almost turning into a tide, Li Guanyi immediately reacted, extending his left hand to pull Yao Guang, protecting the maiden behind him, his right hand sweeped, Fierce Tiger Sky Shouting Halberd appeared, accompanied by a deep dragon roar, gold-red Scale Armor emerged.
The Red Divine Dragon Dharma Form appeared, slowly coiled, transforming into a spiraling dragon-like stance, protecting Li Guanyi and Yao Guang in the middle, the dragon head lowered, the eyes showing gold-red color, coldly and silently watching the statue.
Li Guanyi gripped the Divine Weapon, his aura mighty.
Miscalculation...
The Demon Sect has a method of actively becoming crazed, causing flesh and blood to explode; never thought, just relying on this drop of fresh blood, could activate this Demon Sect’s statue, the Nine Provinces Tripod within Li Guanyi roared, in the front, Primordial Qi slowly spread.
A figure walked out from between illusion and reality.
She was an extremely beautiful woman, her delicate face seemingly descending from Above Nine Heavens, her eyes clear and peaceful, with a detached divinity, yet the smile at her corner warm and charming, the Goddess cold and clear, red dust all phenomena, embodied in one person.
He had seen this face, this temperament.
At the Demon Sect base, the Divination Lineage Grandmaster guarding place.
!!!!
Li Guanyi’s pupils contracted violently, the youth almost instinctively extended his hand to cover Yao Guang’s eyes, but it was already too late, the woman seemed to have borrowed the Demon Sect’s magic technique and human Qi fortune, reappearing here, her gaze shifting from her dead subordinate, landing on Li Guanyi.
After a moment, moving behind him, falling on the hooded maiden.
The wind seemed to stir, Yao Guang’s hood tossed aside, silver strands lifted slightly, revealing a face with a hint of youth, yet also exquisitely beautiful, and even more distant, clear amber eyes.
She reached out, pulling Li Guanyi’s arm, then dragging his arm down.
Quietly, fearlessly watching the woman.
Then a faint, barely noticeable ripple seemed to appear in the woman’s peerless eyes, then she smiled slightly, watching Li Guanyi protecting the maiden;
Seeing Yao Guang, though expressionless, seemingly calm and brave, her slender fingers unconsciously tightly clutching the youth’s arm.
The woman’s voice cold yet smiling, her gaze moved away from Yao Guang, looking at Li Guanyi, she now wearing elaborate, luxurious clothing, with colorful ribbons slightly swaying at her elbows, her hands folded on her abdomen, regal and splendid, smiling:
"Really, not such a good meeting."
"Unexpected, unbelievable, almost like a surprise attack."
"If I hadn’t been a bit more cautious, leaving a trace of Primordial Spirit in every place, to be triggered when the scent of blood or battle arises, you would have really taken her away."
Li Guanyi guarded Yao Guang with his left hand, his right hand wielding Fierce Tiger Sky Shouting Halberd, slowly retreating, widening the distance from the woman, the five Dharma Forms present, Fire Qilin transformed into a cat, but flames already swirling in its throat in gold-red.
In an instant, fully alert.
The woman seemed indifferent, merely said:
"I originally thought that we might have a more... formal, pleasant meeting."
"Did we not?"
"Heavenly Strategy General from Central State, founding rank Qin Wu Marquis."
"Chaos Qilin, world-renowned General."
"Li Guanyi."
"Or should I address you like this?"
The woman reached out to curl her black hair at her temples, smiling:
"Good son-in-law?"
