Chapter 656: A Trapped Heart
Sun Zhen fell silent for a long moment. “The Liu clan situation caused quite a stir. If you meet him, tell him to.”
Li Guanqi said nothing. He raised his cup and drained it. “How many people like you are there?”
By now, Sun Zhen was certain that the man before him, Li Wuji, was none other than the Yanluo Sword Sovereign Li Guanqi, the one who single-handedly annihilated the Liu clan. Sun Zhen couldn’t think of anyone else in the younger generation of the Six Territories who possessed such terrifying strength. It wasn’t that he underestimated the other prodigies, but rather that only Li Guanqi had forced the Ancient Clans to take notice.
While the Liu family was the weakest of the Ancient Clans, having only reached the Combined Body Real, the annihilation of their entire clan was shocking. Clans were wiped out by lone cultivators all the time, but an Ancient Clan? That was something else entirely.
Liu Yunxuan of the Liu clan was said to have possessed a spirit root of extraordinary quality, even showing signs of surpassing the Saint Spirit Root. Yet even he died beneath Li Guanqi’s sword.
After the incident, many Ancient Clans sent spies to investigate. When Sun Zhen first saw the scene recorded in a projection stone, he was stunned into silence. The Liu clan’s domain had become a blood-soaked purgatory. Mountains and earth were dyed red, rivers of blood flowing for hundreds of li. More than three thousand members of the Liu clan lay dead, their corpses piled high.
Even now, sitting across from Li Guanqi, Sun Zhen’s limbs grew cold as he recalled those images, fearing that Li Guanqi might strike him down.
He shook his head with a bitter smile. “You are not quite what I imagined.”
Li Guanqi smiled. “Oh? And what did you imagine Li Guanqi would be like?”
