Chapter 171 The Spirit of Overlord
Zhao Qi did not answer him immediately. After three breaths, when Li Wuxiang saw that the moon on the left side of the sky was about to be completely covered by floating clouds and the moonlight was about to disappear, he heard him angrily cursing in his mind: "Get out! You are going to kill me!"

Zhao Qi's voice sounded full of energy, but his tone was terrified. Li Wuxiang knew that he should be fine now, but might still be being chased by the ghosts that were frightened by his sword.

He no longer hesitated, grasping that connection before the last ray of moonlight disappeared, and returned to the sacred mountain again.

The eyeball was still suspended in the blood mist, but the shape of the edge was no longer clear. It seemed to be gradually merging with the blood mist and was about to disappear.

The ghosts that were originally fighting for the eyeball stretched out a line to the west, chasing Zhao Qi. But when Li Wuxiang appeared, they seemed to have given up the chase and were returning to the eyeball.

There was no concept of distance in the sacred mountain. As soon as Li Wuxiang thought about it, he saw Zhao Qi fleeing far away into the fog. When he channeled the power of his elixir into his eyes, he could see more clearly.

Zhao Qi looked as if the clothes he was wearing were torn to tatters. However, they were not clothes, but what Li Wuxiang had thought before, a layer of blood scabs that looked like scales - they turned into strands of dark brown things that were scattered on Zhao Qi's body, like torn and messy strips of cloth.

When Li Wuxiang first sensed Zhao Qi's presence, he felt that his aura was a bit strange, with a bit more solemnity and majesty. At this moment, the outer layer of his body was torn apart, revealing a familiar bloody human figure underneath, and he felt that the familiar Zhao Qi had returned.

Where did he get that magic weapon?
Seeing the ghosts coming back from afar all flying into the eyeball, and the thing itself becoming increasingly blurry, with only a vertical pupil left, Li Wuxiang said in his mind: "Master, this is the magic weapon of the Tianxin Sect, what does it have to do with me? I am going to deal with them now, do you want to vent your anger? How do they use this thing to raise ghosts?!"

"Those things are kept in that eye! You go into that eye--"

The vertical pupil was about to disappear. After listening to Zhao Qi's words, Li Wuxiang felt that he could act now - the halo had been on the top of Yulun Mountain before, and it only rose into the sky when it was about to deal with him. It must be the person who controlled the magic weapon who released it.

If this thing can breed ghosts, and I am also a ghost, then can I also hide in it and be taken back to Yulun Mountain?
This is how you hide the truth from the world!
He made up his mind and focused all his attention on that half vertical pupil. With his mind focused, he felt that thing was rapidly enlarging in front of his eyes, occupying his entire field of vision.

The vertical pupil disappeared, and Li Wuxiang also disappeared. The blood mist rolled up and filled the empty space again.

At this time, Zhao Qi finished his words: "——I can't get out!"

……

Zhou Ruixin suddenly covered his left eye and leaned back, almost falling over from behind the table. Lou He took two quick steps to help him, but Zhou Ruixin hooked his toes under the table, sat firmly again, and then covered his eyes in a daze.

Lou He asked in a low voice: "Why, Sect Master, are you disappointed with Li Wuxiang's methods again?"

Zhou Ruixin looked up at him at this time, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and pressed it on his left eye. In just a moment, Lou He saw that Zhou Ruixin's left eye was full of bloodshot, and the pupil did not look like that of a human, but was vertical.

The handkerchief was pressed against his eyes for a while, and the water stains were visible. But Zhou Ruixin did not change it. He looked at Lou He and then at the screen, and said in a deep voice: "Miao Zhenshou."

Miao Yi snorted: "Brother Lou, ask him what's wrong?"

Before Lou He could speak, Zhou Ruixin sighed, "Miao Zhenshou, I am too lazy to get angry with you. Li Wuxiang is not a Jindan, but a Yuanying."

The screen fell down with a crash, and Miao Yi stood behind it with a look of astonishment on his face: "What nonsense are you talking about!?"

Zhou Ruixin pressed his handkerchief to his eyes. "I don't know what you disciples of the True Form Sect think and how they report it to you, but the one who fought with me just now should not be his true self, but a Yin spirit that has left his body. I used the Mysterious Light of Pointing to the Moon to fight him, and I wanted to capture him alive. My treasure is not in this world, and is not afraid of the magical powers and spells of this world, but I was hit by his sword in Lingshan - it was a sword, not a magical power or a spell. If the Yin spirit had not left his body, he would not have been able to do this."

Miao Yi was stunned and subconsciously looked at Lou He.

Lou He frowned: "If you say so, Sect Master...it is indeed something that only a Yin God can do."

"The Nascent Soul is the Hundred Miles Sword Immortal. The Yin Spirit must travel within a hundred miles. The place where I fought with him was more than fifty miles away from Yulun Mountain... I was just afraid that he was deliberately exposing his whereabouts." Zhou Ruixin held the handkerchief and looked at Miao Yi with his one eye, "luring the tiger away from the mountain, hiding the truth from the world - I'm afraid that his true self wants to attack Yulun Mountain. He must have tried it just now, but there is no way to stop him with the mountain protection formation for the time being. Miao is guarding, and a Hundred Miles Sword Immortal is eyeing Yulun Mountain... Do you know what this means?"

Miao Yi was about to speak when Lou He nodded and said solemnly, "We asked this Yuanying Swordsman to surround us - he will kill anyone who steps out of the protective formation of Yulun Mountain!"

Miao Yi's face turned pale, and he took a step forward: "Master Zhou, Zhou Ruixin, one swordsman is with me, and the other three are with you. You just fought against that Li Wuxiang. The Tianxin Sect is inseparable from our sect. Do you understand this?"

Zhou Ruixin glanced at him and sighed softly: "You don't need to tell me, of course I understand. Things have come to this point, and there is no turning back for me. But I want to ask you, your True Form Sect - forget it, Fellow Daoist Lou, what are you going to do with your True Form Sect now?"

There really is a Yuanying Swordsman. And this Yuanying Swordsman is near Yulun Mountain right now!
Miao Yi couldn't help but think of the huge sword mark at the Coffin City Ferry - when he first arrived in Coffin City, others told him that it was left by Mei Qiulu, but now he didn't know whether it was Mei Qiulu or Li Wuxiang!

He likes Wenxin Pavilion very much these days - practitioners are not afraid of cold or heat, and now it is midsummer, so it is indeed neither cold nor hot. The view from all sides is excellent, so he likes living here.

But now, he only felt that the breeze coming from all directions contained chill and murderous intent, and he also felt that he didn't know when he would see a sword light coming towards him!

So he didn't care about Zhou Ruixin's rude behavior of ignoring him, and went to see Lou He - these days, he felt that he made the right decision to recruit this person, because he was his think tank!
Lou He looked at the two of them, and then bowed to them respectively: "Master, Guard, since things have come to this, let's talk it out."

"Master Zhou, you were right. The most important thing for Miao Zhenshou to do when he leaves the diocese is to seize territory. And now, no matter what our previous methods were, Master Zhou, you have surrendered to our sect and submitted your pledge of loyalty. From now on, we are together in good times and bad times."

"In that case, let me ask you a question: There are still many people on Yulun Mountain who don't agree with your idea, right?" Zhou Ruixin sighed, "Yes."

"Is it much?"

"My sect has a sect leader, a supreme sect leader, and three elders. The supreme sect leader doesn't care about worldly affairs, so let's not talk about him for now. The remaining three elders, two sit in the middle, and the remaining one, Yu Shunzhen, I think is loyal to Taiyi Sect. Yu Shunzhen and his disciples... are enough to influence many people."

Lou He waved his hand gently: "Okay. First of all, the fight just now cannot be spread outside, so as to avoid people on the mountain being uneasy. But Li Wuxiang... seems to be different from other swordsmen in the Sword Sect. He has more twists and turns in his mind and may use psychological tactics. Therefore, the second thing is, Sect Master, the three swordsmen who stayed with you must be moved over."

"If they stay with you, if Elder Yu Shunzhen leads his men to hand them over to Li Wuxiang, the Tianxin Sect will be separated. If they all stay with us, unless Elder Yu Shunzhen says that he has betrayed the sect, then the four people in Wenxin Pavilion are in Yulun Mountain, and in Yulun Mountain they are in Tianxin Sect. In Tianxin Sect, no one can escape responsibility!"

Zhou Ruixin closed his eyes slightly and pressed his left eye with a handkerchief. There was no longer any pain as if a finger had been poked, but there was still a strange feeling in his eye, as if a grain of sand had entered. But in this situation, it was not easy for him to treat it... It should be caused by the flying sword of the Yuanying Swordsman.

He looked down on Miao Yi and thought he was stupid, but this man named Lou He was very smart and would definitely be a great man in the future. If he had to deal with someone from the Five Mountains True Form Sect, he would rather talk to Lou He.

Moreover, inexplicably, perhaps because of this slight fondness, he felt that everything Lou He said made sense.

He even had a feeling that if the Tianxin Sect really surrendered to the Five Mountains True Form Sect, and Lou He could hold a high position in the sect in the future, then perhaps he would be someone worth following...

He knew in his heart that this feeling was a bit absurd. He was the leader of Tianxin Sect, who was at the Nascent Soul stage. Even if he couldn't be on par with the True Form Sect Leader, he should be on par with the leader of Dongyue Sect. How could he talk about "following" Lou, who had not yet reached the Spirit Refining stage?
He tried his best to brush away this thought, but it was like raising his hand to brush away a spider web. The web was gone, but some of it remained on the back of his hand and could not be shaken off.

It was this little bit that he couldn't get rid of that made him think for a while before finally nodding: "Okay."

Lou He then turned to Miao Yi and said, "Zhen Shou, we should also send a message to Dong Yue Zheng Tao and ask him to send people to help. The Tian Xin Sect's abandonment of the dark and joining the light is already a great achievement for you, Zhen Shou. The rest should be handed over to the people above."

"During this period, tell the disciples who are still within a hundred miles to come up to Yulun Mountain and guard Wenxin Pavilion. If they are attacked by Li Wuxiang on their way here, we will know that he is still nearby. If nothing happens, these people can take the four swordsmen as hostages to prevent him from making any rash moves. Those four people are our greatest support at this moment. Guard them, I'll go pick up the three of them in person and then guard the other four here."

When he first met Lou Heshi, Miao Yi just thought that this person was very sensible and worldly-wise. He had seen many such people in the sect, and he liked them, but he also despised them. Because worldly-wise people have too many and too complicated thoughts, and if they have too many and too complicated thoughts, it is difficult to make progress in cultivation, and they are all just clever tricks.

However, this little cleverness was useful for temporary needs, so he chose Lou He to serve him.

Later he discovered that Lou He was not only clever, but also seemed to have some strategy. This changed his opinion of this Junior Brother Lou a little, and he valued him more.

Then, it seemed that from one day a few days ago, he suddenly felt that every word of Lou He seemed to touch his heart. He didn't know when he stopped treating Lou He as a servant, but a subordinate, and then not a subordinate, but a partner and brother.

At this moment, listening to Lou He say these words, for a moment I felt as if although his attitude was sincere and his posture was humble, he seemed not to be asking questions, but to be giving orders!
Looking at it...it seems as if there is an indescribable, inexplicable, natural sense of power and majesty!
He just thought that he was frightened by the fact that he was called "Yuanying Swordsman", so he didn't think about it any more and immediately said: "Junior Brother Lou is right, I'll leave this matter to you!"

Lou He nodded solemnly and bowed to the two of them: "There is no time to lose, Sect Master, Guard, I will go and fetch them now."

……

The forbidden magic formation in the back mountain of Tianxin Sect was just a few beams of light - after the moon halo on the peak of Yulun Mountain disappeared briefly, the wisps of halo it left behind had not dissipated yet, and were still shining from the sky onto a stone platform in the back mountain.

The light was not bright when viewed from a distance, just like the beams of light falling from the gaps in the clouds in rainy and cloudy weather. When they fell on the ground, they cast circular halos. People in the halos looked out and felt that it was dark outside. If Li Wuxiang was in it, he would say that it was very similar to the stage searchlights in his previous life.

Zeng Jianqiu, Qi Sheng and Yu Fenghu were imprisoned in this halo. The space was very small, only allowing three people to stand. They had to keep their upper bodies as close to each other as possible so as not to touch the boundary between light and darkness. Otherwise, even with the swordsman's strong training, their skin and flesh would be torn apart in an instant, revealing their bones.

It was in such an invisible cage that Zeng Jianqiu heard the footsteps approaching from afar.

It sounded like three people were walking towards them - when they were about five or six steps away, one of them seemed to say something in a low voice, so the other two stopped and only that person continued to approach.

When he was five steps away, he could vaguely see the man's outline under the strong light. When he was only three steps away, Zeng Jianqiu couldn't help but frown and stared at the man.

When he was only one step away, he saw the man's face clearly.

At this time, he, Qi Sheng, and Yu Fenghu were standing back to back. In order to adjust to this position so that everyone could stand relatively effortlessly, a layer of blood scabs had formed on the shoulders of the three of them. Therefore, now, only he could see Lou He's face from this angle.

The two looked at each other for three breaths, neither of them saying a word.

After a while, Zeng Jianqiu sighed and whispered, "I heard people from Tianxin Sect mention a cultivator from Zhenxing Sect named Lou He, who is the right-hand man of Deyang. I was thinking that there are many people with the surname Lou in Zhenxing Sect, so maybe it's a coincidence."

The two swordsmen behind him were stunned for a moment, and tried to turn their bodies to look back, so their shoulders touched the junction of light and darkness, and a large cloud of blood mist immediately rose. But the two still turned their heads, and when they saw Lou He's face, they were also stunned.

The next moment, the muscles on Qi Sheng's face twitched, and he opened his mouth. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Lou He whisper, "I'm here to take you to see Tianxin Sect Master Zhou Ruixin and Deyang Guard Miao Yi. The four of us, plus the guy named Cheng Shengfei over there, are going to do something big—Zeng, do you want to join me in destroying Tianxin Sect and then killing Deyang Guard?"
