Spirit Ruin, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Chapter 38 May the Immortal Walk a Clear Path

Li Guanqi shook his head and whispered, Not necessarily.

He continued, maintaining the Soul Binding Talisman, Actually, I have some questions Id like to clear up.

The meek female ghost that had appeared at the ruined temple was none other than Li Lanhua. He had already confirmed that she wasnt lying about not killing anyone, but it was undeniable that the corpse in the village had a hint of her aura.

However, certain details made him realize that his information was wrong.

Li Guanqi crouched in front of the female ghost and spoke to her, The corpse on the mountain is likely not yours. It belonged to the widow Zhang Cuifen.

The female ghost beneath him instantly raised her head and looked at Li Guanqi with intense malice, saying, Dont mention that wretched woman in my presence again!

Yes, I killed them all! This man is the last one who deserves to die!

Young man, if you try to stop me, dont blame me for not showing mercy!

Li Guanqi let out a slight sigh. He had learned some secrets from two women earlier in the afternoon. This incident could be considered a scandal in Xingyun Town over the years, and gradually, people had forgotten about it.

It wasnt until the recent series of murders that many people remembered what had occurred back then. And the female ghost under his feet was at the center of the entire event.

Li Lanhua, orphaned after her parents death, had her tongue cut out by a sinister woman and was sold to a brothel. However, the insatiable Zhang Daniu didnt take long to start an affair with the widow Zhang Cuifen in town.

Before Zhang Daniu and the widow became involved, there were rumors in town, saying that Li Lanhua had no shame, having spent so much time as an escort, seducing men all over town.

Li Guanqi recounted the information to the ghost until he noticed that she was trembling all over.

Boom!

A terrifying shockwave instantly sent Li Guanqi flying!

A chilling wind immediately shrouded the entire Xingyun Town!

Then, Li Guanqis face changed dramatically, and he looked down at the Soul Binding Talisman in his hand.

Cracks were showing all over the fading talisman!

Bang!

I never seduced any men! It was her! It was her! Li Lanhua screamed in agitation, and a resentful aura surged around her.

Li Guanqi leaped onto the roof with remarkable agility, gazing at the distant figure releasing her resentment with a heavy heart.

At this moment, Li Guanqi couldnt help but ask, Oh? Am I mistaken?

Boom!

The figure of the vengeful spirit contorted, transforming into another middle-aged woman with seductive silken eyes. Li Lanhua pointed at her own face and roared, Its this wretched woman!

What does it have to do with me?! Im the one who was humiliated!

At this moment, Li Guanqi couldnt help but say, Oh? Am I mistaken?

Boom!

The figure of the vengeful spirit contorted, transforming into another middle-aged woman with seductive eyes like silk.

Li Lanhua pointed at her own face and roared, Its this wretched woman!

What does it have to do with me?! Im the one who was humiliated!

Just because I was mute, I had to bear all the insults and slanders!

Theyre the ones who should die!

Zhang Daniu is a beast! He allowed them to insult me!

Watching the woman screaming in a frenzy, Li Guanqi sighed inwardly and said, So the skeleton under the broken temple tree is Zhang Cuifens, right?

Li Lanhuas eyes turned ice-cold, and her figure instantly turned into a blurred shadow, attacking Li Guanqi. Li Guanqis vision blurred, and then the ghosts pale face appeared right in front of him.

He crossed his arms to guard, grunted as a powerful force smashed him into the ground. With a resounding crash, Li Guanqi landed forcefully, shattering several blue bricks beneath him.

Li Lanhua tightly gripped his arm and began to howl madly, Thats right! I tore the soul of that wretched woman to shreds!

I chewed it piece by piece, and it granted me even greater power!

I want revenge! I want all of them to suffer!

If you try to stop me, Ill kill you too!

Despite being pinned down, Li Guanqi couldnt help but sigh inwardly.

Shes a pitiful soul, a life filled with suffering and no happiness, only to be labeled as a promiscuous woman.

He hadnt sensed the slightest bit of killing intent from her since the beginning.

The sword coffin stirred underneath him. Li Guanqi sighed and finally let the Sword Spirit take action.

In an instant, a sword light flashed, and the female ghosts body seemed to be sliced open in an instant. The pitch-black resentment transformed into billowing smoke and flowed into the sword coffin.

In a moment, Li Lanhuas soul became extremely ethereal, barely holding itself together.

Once she realized she had lost her power, she collapsed on the ground like a lost soul.

Then, Li Guanqis mind was filled with mysterious and enchanting Soul Purification spells. Moreover, these Soul Purification spells were evidently more profound than those taught within the Great Xia Sword Sect.

Li Lanhua, with a resentful look, turned her gaze towards the unconscious man on the ground and then back to the young man, her eyes filled with pleading. Her ghostly figure, emaciated and frail, knelt on the ground, continuously bowing and kowtowing.

When Li Lanhuas body had become so ethereal that it was almost clearer than white smoke, she kowtowed.

I have no attachment to my wretched life

But my purity after redemption is more valuable to me than life itself.

Since I became a vengeful spirit, I have never harmed any innocents.

I know that the Immortal Master has orders from their sect, but I humbly request that the Immortal Master helps me seek justice!

Restore my purity! Let this mute woman speak, and tell everyone that I am the victim, wronged and manipulated!

Li Guanqi closed his eyes. He knew the truth, but no one else did. Or maybeeveryone knew, but they chose to remain silent.

With a heavy heart, Li Guanqi softly recited the Soul Purification spells. A pure white light slowly enveloped Li Lanhua. The woman closed her eyes, tears streaming down her cheeks, her face filled with bitterness.

As he finished, Li Guanqi slowly got up and walked towards the unconscious man.

Bang!

A single kick broke the mans nose, and as he groaned in pain, he was forcibly lifted by his hair. Li Guanqi leaned close to the mans ear, his voice cold as he said, Did you see that? The woman you tormented to death.

But all the man saw was the fading specter of the woman, and his eyes filled with wild joy.

Crack!

Li Guanqi snapped his neck.

Tears streamed from the womans eyes as she basked in the radiance, and she offered Li Guanqi deep respects, whispering, May the Immortal Master walk a clear path on the Immortal Way.

Li Guanqi stood there, watching as the light faded away.

He whispered, Was it worth it? Those who slandered you know better than anyone how wronged you were.

The voice of the Sword Spirit echoed slowly, Was it worth it?

Li Guanqi smiled lightly and whispered, It was.

If not for this, why would I cultivate as an immortal?

The Sword Spirit fell silent, and what followed was an endless surge of spiritual energy from within Li Guanqi.

That power directly propelled him to break through from the first level the third level of Qi Refinement!
