Chapter 61 – I Killed the Guy
That night, the entire Xuantian Dynasty was thrown into upheaval.
The Imperial Advisor, Tang Chongqing, was dead, and the charge of rebellion against the Li family had been lifted.
And the reigning emperor? A respected cultivator from the Daxia Sword Sect had temporarily stripped him of his throne.
Rain fell steadily as Li Guanqi disappeared into the storm, an umbrella shielding him from the downpour.
When he left the city, he found a cave to treat his injuries. Pale-faced, he removed his clothes and applied some golden herbal medicine.
After swallowing a healing pill, he felt the flow of vital qi within him gradually strengthen. He sighed in relief.
He sat with his back against the cave wall, finally able to catch his breath. I didn’t expect a Foundation Building Realm cultivator to be this troublesome. That vital force shield was a pain to break through.
Still, he was pretty confident that Tang Chongqing had been a rogue cultivator, unaffiliated with any sect. A disciple from an established faction would have known the unspoken taboos of the cultivation world. The man’s swordsmanship did not follow any specific style or lineage, and he relied purely on his sword skills.
Most tellingly, his vital force wasn’t too strong. He must’ve chosen to break through to the Foundation Building Realm when he reached the ninth level of the Qi Refinement Realm.
Li Guanqi sensed the emptiness in his dantian and sat down to cultivate.
Unbeknownst to him, Sword Spirit had manifested behind him, nodding slightly in approval. Li Guanqi had shown extraordinary resilience and determination throughout his cultivation journey.
