Li Guanqi shook his head and said softly, "Not necessarily."
As he maintained the Soul Binding Rope, Li Guanqi spoke again.
"I actually have a few doubts."
The ethereal beauty that appeared in the dilapidated temple on the mountain was none other than Li Lanhua.
But indeed, there was the presence of Li Lanhua on the corpse.
However, so details made him realize that sothing was amiss.
Li Guanqi squatted in front of the ghostly woman, muttering to himself.
"The corpse on the mountain shouldn't be yours; it must be that of the widow Zhang Cuifen."
The ghost beneath him suddenly looked up at Li Guanqi with a fierce glare and said, "Don't you dare ntion that wretch in front of again!"
"That's right, I killed them all!"
"Li Daniu was just the last one who deserved to die!"
"Young man, if you try to stop , don't bla for being rude!"
Li Guanqi sighed softly. He had learned so secrets from the two won that afternoon.
This matter was a scandal that had been buried over the years in Xingyun Town, and over ti, no one spoke of it.
Until the recent series of murders, which reminded many people of the past events.
And the ghost at his feet was the protagonist of the entire incident.
Li Lanhua, orphaned from a young age and mute after her tongue was cut out by a broker, was sold to a place of ill repute.
Until she turned thirty, deed worthless, she was sold again by the broker to Zhang Daniu of Xingyun Town.
Li Lanhua, tired of the mortal world, finally felt her hardships were over and she could settle down to family life.
Yet the insatiable Zhang Daniu soon took up with the town widow, Zhang Cuifen.
The once hardworking Li Lanhua seed to have vanished from the world.
Before Zhang Daniu's affair with the widow, rumors spread through the town.
They said Li Lanhua was shaless, having stayed too long in the place of ill repute, seducing n all over town.
Li Guanqi recounted everything he knew.
But he didn't notice the ghostly woman beneath him shaking like a leaf.
Boom!!!
A terrifying surge of energy instantly sent Li Guanqi flying!
A burst of cold wind instantly enveloped the entire Xingyun Town!
Li Guanqi's expression changed dramatically as he looked down at the Soul Binding Rope in his hand.
He saw countless cracks appearing in the yellow talisman inside.
Bang!!
"I didn't seduce any n! It was him!!! It was him!!"
Li Lanhua suddenly beca extrely agitated, her resentnt growing imnsely powerful!
Li Guanqi, with his sword box on his back, lightly leaped onto the roof, using the montum to his advantage.
He watched the figure releasing resentnt in the distance with a heavy heart.
Even then, Li Guanqi couldn't help but say, "Oh? Are you saying I'm wrong?"
Boom!!
The ghost's face twisted, transforming into another woman with seductive eyes.
Support us at pawrea𝑑 .
Li Lanhua pointed at her own face and roared, "It's that wretched woman!"
"What does she have to do with ! I'm the one who was humiliated!"
"Why ?! Just because I'm mute, I have to bear all the slander and insults?!"
"They are the ones who should die!"
"Zhang Daniu is a beast! He let them insult !"
Watching the crazed woman, Li Guanqi sighed inwardly and then asked, "So, the skeleton under the temple tree is Zhang Cuifen's?"
Li Lanhua's eyes turned cold, and her figure instantly transford into a blurry shadow rushing towards Li Guanqi!
Li Guanqi's vision blurred, and in an instant, Li Lanhua's pale face appeared before him.
With his arms crossed in defense, Li Guanqi was smashed to the ground by a trendous force.
With a thud, he crashed onto the flagstone, shattering several pieces.
Li Lanhua clutched his arms tightly, roaring maniacally, "That's right! I tore that wretched woman's soul apart!"
"I chewed it up, bite by bite! Little did I know, it would grant even greater power!"
"I want revenge! I want them all to die a horrible death!"
"If you try to stop , I will kill you too!"
Pinned beneath her, Li Guanqi inwardly sighed.
"She's ultimately a pitiful person, a life of suffering without a mont's joy, only to be branded a harlot."
Because from the beginning, he never felt a hint of murderous intent from her.
However, the sword spirit in the sword box behind him moved at that mont.
Li Guanqi sighed inwardly, as the sword spirit had to intervene.
A flash of sword light passed, and the ghost's body was sliced open in an instant.
The dark resentnt turned into thick smoke, pouring into the sword box.
In an instant, Li Lanhua's soul beca so faint it could barely maintain its form.
After realizing she had lost her power, Li Lanhua collapsed to the ground, soulless.
Then, a series of profound soul-summoning incantations appeared in Li Guanqi's mind.
These incantations were clearly more profound than those he had learned in the Great Xia Sword Sect.
Li Lanhua looked at the unconscious man with unwilling eyes, then turned to the young man with a look of pleading.
Her emaciated shadow knelt on the ground, bowing incessantly.
When Li Lanhua's form had beco almost transparent, she kowtowed on the ground.
"I have no attachnt to this wretched life of mine..."
"But the purity I had after redeeming myself, I valued more than my life."
"Since becoming a vengeful spirit, I have never hard any innocent person."
"I know you, as a cultivator with a sect's mission, cannot act on my behalf, but I still implore you to avenge !"
"Clear my na! Speak out for this mute woman, tell everyone that I am the victim of their twisted truths!"
Li Guanqi closed his eyes, feeling heavy-hearted.
He knew the truth, but no one else did.
Or perhaps... everyone knew, but they chose to remain silent.
It seed the sa, yet not the sa.
Li Guanqi solemnly chanted the soul-summoning incantation.
A holy white light slowly enveloped Li Lanhua.
The woman closed her eyes, tears streaming down her cheeks, her face bitter.
But at that mont, Li Guanqi slowly stood up and walked towards the unconscious man.
Thump!
A kick broke the man's nose, and as the pained man woke up, he was grabbed by the hair and lifted.
Li Guanqi whispered coldly into the man's ear, "Do you see her? The woman you all tornted to death."
But the man only saw the fading soul of the woman, his eyes gleaming with ecstasy.
Crack!
Li Guanqi twisted his neck, killing him.
Tears flooded from the woman's eyes as she bowed deeply to Li Guanqi and whispered, "May your path as an immortal be smooth!"
Li Guanqi stood there, watching the light fade.
He murmured, "Do you feel wronged... Those who slandered you know better than anyone how wronged you are."
The sword spirit's voice slowly asked, "Is it worth it?"
Li Guanqi smiled freely and replied, "Worth it!"
"If not for this, why would I cultivate?"
The sword spirit fell silent, and then endless primordial energy surged within Li Guanqi!
That power allowed him to break through to the sixth level of Qi Refining!
