Chapter 647: Three Thousand Threads of Karma
Li Guanqi returned to the wooden house nestled in the bamboo grove, his appearance now youthful. Only his hair retained streaks of silver woven through the black, giving it a salt-and-pepper look.
He still wore his dark-red Daoist robes, and a pagoda radiating eerie energy hung at his waist.
Sword Spirit looked at him and spoke softly. “Your actions will have consequences. Or as they say, you are bound by three thousand threads of karma. Your future Combined Body Realm heavenly tribulation… may be difficult.”
Li Guanqi remained calm. “So what?”
His voice dropped to a murmur. “I can’t keep worrying about the future. Unless I stop killing completely?”
Sword Spirit did not press further. Instead, she asked curiously, “What do you plan to do next?”
Li Guanqi thought for a moment, recalling the events of the past year. “I’ll update everyone, then wander the world alone. No purpose, no direction.”
He drew several jade slips from his storage ring. They flickered for half an hour without stopping.
He hesitated, but he wanted to reassure them. At last, he took Li Nanting’s jade slip and told him everything that had happened. He gave the sect master a brief account as well.
